A few years ago an article in the San Diego Union Tribune announced the finding of rocket fuel in milk. Yes, you did read that correctly, I did say rocket fuel. I was stunned by this and shared it with a friend. My friend didn’t think this was a big deal, and honestly, I think I found that more astounding. Because, of course, people put milk in their bodies and therefore, they are putting rocket fuel in their bodies, sometimes several times each day. You understand that I’m saying..
Later, I learned that this same person believed that the chlorine that municipalities put in the water supply was actually helpful in making us clean while bathing. At first I was sure that this was a joke, but I was assured it was not. Sometimes you just scratch your head a little bit.
Unfortunately, though, I think it’s commonplace for people today to dramatically underestimate the damage caused to our bodies by putting such chemicals inside our bodies. And I believe it’s also common for people to underestimate and just not to be aware of all of the hidden and dangerous chemicals in what we consume, like in milk and far too many more commonly consumed items.
Unfortunately, our bodies aren’t designed to be able to handle all of these chemicals, so we don’t just effectively eliminate them – and we end up storing a lot of them. And the assertion that all of these man-made chemicals are safe in the body is laughable. How would anyone know for an absolute fact that any of these chemicals are safe in the body?
Most of the chemicals that are common in the body haven’t even been around for long, so it would have been impossible for any real studies to have looked at the effects of time, accumulation, and the combination of the chemicals with other chemicals from other sources that have also become trapped in the body. Or, for that matter, if all of these chemicals trapped in the body have any effects on the next generation. Or generations after that. It simply hasn’t been done, or has it?
At the same time that so many chemicals used in and on our bodies has increased, health problems in individuals have also increased astronomically. They’re increasing so fast you can almost watch it happen. Not long ago, it was estimated that 30 percent of the population would have a problem with cancer. Now, it’s estimated that half of the population will have a problem with cancer.
In fact, you could look at our society as a whole, with the increase in both the number of common chemicals used in and on our bodies, and the dramatic rise in health problems and say conclusively: We’ve conducted one giant experiment, with the participation of an entire culture. Regrettably, we’ve found that without a doubt, the use and accumulation of unnatural chemicals in the body absolutely causes problems. Often times though, you don’t see the problems immediately which is why we unfortunately didn’t make the direct connection right away.
The only question left is: Do we want to keep this experiment with our health and bodies up? Or do we want to spend some time doing a deep body cleanse with a colon cleanse in order to remove these stored chemicals and curtail their use – in general? Do we want to put an stop this experiment or do we want to just let people (and generations) keep getting sicker and sicker? It’s our choice: What will we decide?
