Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 That is exactly what this study was about. The CDC tested the blood of a number of people of varying ages and determined what was in it. They found many such chemicals as DDT, which has not been used for many years in this country. Check out the link at >>>Its a great link, however, there are some studies showing the same level of contamination in sick and healthy people.Even DDT toxicity is not totally understood and many in Africa are begging for the US to produce and supply it. DDT is the most effective stuff we have to irradiate malaria (and the Africans are more wearied about known death from malaria). There are some new studies that question many of the older information on DDT toxicity and many so-called healthy people have fairly high levels in both blood and fat tissues.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 The incidence of all cancers among infants less than one year old, both sexes, age adjusted, has risen 36% when comparing the years 1976-1984 to 1986-1994. The incidence for germ cell cancers in that same group has increased 124%. The increases were lower for older children, but still, they were increases. >>>I wander where he gets this statistic, he gives no ref.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 You might then be interested in a CDC toxin study in which Bill Moyers took part in. I am not sure if it is on their site or not. I think on a great many of the chemicals listed in the MSDS (material safety data safety) we know they are hazardous and to what degree. You can never be 100% absolute as amount of exposure and time play a large role in the damage. Also check out this site http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/EDs-PWG-16jun01.htm for a interesting connection of petro chemicals and endocrine disorders. Mike W.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 One can always question what was and if this info is legit. As a bio undergrad I had a chance to see and learn about many such environmental toxins. A scientist would have to be in the back pocket of petro producer to think otherwise on this one. None of these toxins is healthy it is only a matter of how much to make you ill or in what combination with another to. By the way, DDT is still used in other parts of the world and we consume through foreign produce imported and consumed by us. So much for progress. Mike W.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Lets see toxic load in system, blood type, genetic makeup, qi, etc. You pick but remember that life is not an exact science. I still think we need to become better educated as to their danger and let our patients know. Limiting them can be smart medicine and a better life. Reminds me, I need to have my amalgams replaced.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Karla, My situation in western Montana on an Indian Reservation is probably as much of a challenge as your situation. I advise my own students, when starting a practice, unless they are a masochist, to *not* choose an area like where I now live. I've had to focus much more on education in small groups and classes. Diets are atrocious, lots of addictive patterns. But the potential is huge. The clean air and outdoor beauty is very therapeutic. We too have a " live free or die " ethos that permeates attitudes here, and that does tend to help people focus on their own responsibilities. By the way, are you familiar with the " Free State Project " ? - a group of libertarians who decided to move en masse to New Hampshire because they decided it was the best candidate for their experiement of promoting libertarian policies in government. Montana came in #2 in the vote several years ago. I'll bet there are a lot of Health Freedom activists in your area who would be receptive to TCM. Roger > Karla Renaud <karlarenaud >Re: Re: Personality Types .... > >Perhaps the " live free or die " attitude in NH, which means there are no laws requiring seat belt use in cars or helmets for motorcyclists, also makes people more receptive to personal responsibilty and living with the consequences of the choices one makes, eh? > >People respond to one's attitude and intent (helping them not lecturing them). My own mission when starting this work was literally " I will help people be more comfortable with transformation. " --and that's still my main goal. Presenting things as good old-fashioned common sense, that works around here! I use lots of nature metaphors, car and sports metaphors about how to live and take care of oneself. Being an optimist, I believe people want to transform and will change, it's just scary without guidance, support, and encouragement. Provide that safe atmosphere with treatment and it just happens naturally. I don't push it, it just unfolds. >I do like all the demographics factors you mention below, I can see how they would be good predictors. Some us nuts have to expand this profession into new territories though! >Karla > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >... Number of health food stores, environmental awareness, tolerance of new ideas, educational levels, opportunities for outdoor exercise and recreation, level of support for the arts are all factors that correlate with the ideal type of situation that Karla describes.---Roger Wicke, PhD, TCM Clinical Herbalist > ---Roger Wicke, PhD, TCM Clinical Herbalist contact: www.rmhiherbal.org/contact/ Rocky Mountain Herbal Institute, Hot Springs, Montana USA Clinical herbology training programs - www.rmhiherbal.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 " Everyone must be NCCAOM certified, even chiropractors (couldn't do anything about MDs). " Karla, Not quite right, chiropractors can get the minimalist training, but can't call or advertise what they do acupuncture. My experience with this is that they still say they do acupuncture, but the law still keeps them from advertising that they do.
