Why Organics Are No Longer An Option For Me
Jean Shaw© -
...........................................................
Until relatively recently the only thing I knew about organic products was that they
were expensive. I never bought them or understood their value in terms of nutrition
and safety.
Infact, until relatively recently I never thought much about anything.
I always trusted that the products I bought and the treatments I had were safe. How
wrong I was.
I have an autistic son and am convinced now that the reason he has this
life long disability is because of the toxic preservatives in the vaccines he had
as a healthy young baby. No-
The same
thing happened with my teeth. I found out too late that the second most toxic substance
on the planet (mercury) was in my mouth. I never asked and no-
I'm still recovering.
We live in a chemical soup. Toxins are everywhere and until
recently I had no idea of their significance on our health. I just assumed if a product
was on sale then it must be safe.
However, there are over 85,000 synthetic chemicals
approved by the Environment Protection Agency and most have not been tested for long
term health effects either individually or in combination.
Apart from being in our
vaccines they are in our food, drink, household products, furniture, toiletries and
cosmetics. It's no wonder our health is suffering.
As a nation we are better fed
than we have ever been and yet when it comes to vitamins and minerals we are incredibly
malnourished. Our over farmed soils are depleted of natural nutrients and the widespread
use of pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers as well as airborne industrial pollutants
makes our crops a hazard to our health.
Did you know the average apple has about
110 chemicals on it by the time you eat it and about 1.5 billion lbs of pesticides
are sprayed on wheat and vegetable crops? Food is exposed to thousands of chemicals
during preservation and processing and even water takes a hammering. In most cities
there are about 700 chemicals in the water. No wonder people turn to alcohol!
Cosmetics
too contain all sorts of synthetic chemicals and you can't always trust the ones
that say "natural" and "organic". Some unscrupulous manufacturers mislead customers
with false labels. I'm always cautious if I see "derived from......." (some natural
substance) because a chemical process has obviously taken place.It is no longer "natural"
pure and formed by nature.
Similarly, "organic" should mean grown and cultivated
without the use of chemicals, but the industry definition is "a compound that contains
a carbon atom". Since carbon is found in anything that has ever lived, certain companies
can get away with using synthetic chemicals and still call their products "organic".
So what are organic products? Well, organic farming cares for the environment without
relying on synthetic chemicals. Rather than using pesticides, farmers prevent pests
by planting a diverse range of crops, using a rotation system and no artificial pesticides,
herbicides, hormones or growth
promotants that are questionable for maintaining a
healthy body.
The organic farmer believes the food it provides should be as Mother
Nature intended and strives hard to conserve natural ecosystems. Their food is pure.
In organic personal care products only minimal processing is permitted allowing only
natural or traditional ingredients. There should be NO synthetic chemicals, unnatural
dyes, colourings, flavourings or other additives.
Apparently there are now over 200
different types of cancer and most scientists agree that at least 80% are related
to oxins and carcinogens from synthetic and toxic chemicals.
The disease is caused
when constant exposure overwhelms the body's natural immune system and we lose the
ability to purge the toxins and chemicals. That's what happened to me with the mercury
poisoning and now I've just had a breast cancer scare. Fortunately it was benign
but with 1 in 2 of
all men and 1 in 3 or all women developing some form of cancer
in their lifetime many will not be so lucky.
I can’t take any more risks with my
health. Can you?
