We are living in the most polluted environment in the earth's known history. We are continually inhaling and assimilating residues from petrochemicals, plastics and pesticides that occupy cell receptor sites and block hormone utilization. Consider the following statistics:
1600% increase in birth defects since 1980
250% increase in breast cancer since 1980
59% decrease in male sperm count since 1940
500% increase in cancer mortality since 1900
400% increase in heart disease since 1900
All of the above statistics are directly related to the increased exposure to petrochemicals, toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals in the environment and our foods. While no process or modality can guarantee the prevention of these conditions, it is logical to assume that an ongoing detoxification program - the act of minimizing toxic accumulations in the body - will reduce the incidence of chronic degenerative disease and improve overall quality of life.
Why is it doctors now use the term "Early Detection" in place of "Prevention"
Have we resigned ourselves to an inevitability that we will be diagnosed with a disease? And, perhaps that as we age, we should expect to slow down and have disease over-take us?
Wise use of medication is important and certainly has it's place. However, we need to look closely at our current belief systems and the health care system we have created. There are many people in trouble with their health right now. If we want change, we need to examine and probably modify our belief about how health is obtained.
Unfortunately, with the amount of environmental toxins we are now exposed to, we need to take action in order to prevent disease from setting in.
