We must be crazy!

Mans willingness to alter nature, will eventually be his downfall, and he'll probably take every living thing on earth with him.

The following is a collection of my thoughts.

Chemicals

Chemicals in the foods we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breath, besides the chemicals in the prescription and non-prescription drugs we take, are crippling our bodies. Exposures to man-made materials such as PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), PBB (polybrominated biphenyl), and DDT (dichlorodiphenyl-trichoroethane) as well as many others, can cause a multitude of problems, sometimes for many generations. The damage done, has caused a weakening of all life. Pesticides, and herbicides are poisoning our food supplies. If you buy fruits and vegetables that are imported from other countries, remember, their regulations may be less than those in your country, and they may spray their produce with chemicals that people in your country are not allowed to use. Want to scare yourself, use the search engines on the internet, and look at some of the chemicals named above, and their effects on us, animals, plants, and all of nature.

Vegetables

Today, scientists are now genetically altering foods to give them "more desirable" properties, such as a longer shelf life, or resistance to certain pests and diseases. Seems to me, nature did a pretty good job of this until man started polluting the soil, water, and air with his man-made chemicals. Tomatoes have been genetically altered to help keep them from bruising as easy, thus making them easier to ship, and giving them a longer shelf-life. We're not just talking cross breeding different types of plants here, they actually are changing them on a molecular level, changing the DNA of the species. Sure, change foods enough, and perhaps we won't be able to eat them, due to the fact that our bodies will be unable to digest these synthetic foods. It's been done before, as you'll read in the next section.

L-sugar

. I remember reading, quite a few years ago, (I believe it was in the 70's) that scientists rearranged the molecules in ordinary sugar to make a new substance. The molecules were a mirror image of the original. The resulting product, although it tasted sweet, had no calories, due to the fact that our bodies didn't know how to break this "new" substance down. It was indigestible. I remember it being touted as the cure for all overweight people. Imagine being able to eat all the sweets you wanted without worry of calories, of cavities. This product was called L-sugar, for it's "left handed" molecules. I'll bet you never saw any on the market though. I wonder why. What did they find out about this new product, that would surely have been a gold-mine, to keep them from being able to market it.

Milk

Cows are now being given hormones to make them produce more milk. This milk does not have to be labeled as such, so you never know if the milk you just purchased is "tainted". Our desire for milk has changed cows from only producing milk for calves, to producing milk all the time. We give them hormones to induce milk production. Visit a dairy farm, and ask what happens if they don't milk the cows.

Fowl

. Domestic turkeys have been made to be so broad-breasted, that the only way they can reproduce, is through artificial insemination. We have taken to feeding chickens marigold petals (something they normally wouldn't eat) to give them "that yellow color", that we've been brainwashed to believe is a "healthy" bird.

Fish

Our continued pollution of the water on our planet is getting into all parts of the food chain. Fish in a nearby lake to me are so contaminated with arsenic, that they can't be eaten. The lake has been closed to all fishing and swimming. Another area lake is so contaminated with mercury, that people are advised to limit their intake of fish from there. Of course, nobody can tell the animals not to eat those fish, or drink that water, then the animals who eat those animals. We've poisoned our water. Let's not forget, we drink water, too. I guess we'll have to add some more chemicals like chlorine and fluoride. What we're adding to our drinking water is poisoning us.

Breathing

Take a look at our cars and factories, all those smokestacks, and realize that all that pollution in going into not only your lungs and on our skin, but everything plant or animal, that comes into contact with it. Rain washes some pollution out of the air, only to be deposited in the water, and soil, to be absorbed by plants and animals in other ways. Some people will even take to putting a "personal smokestack" in their mouth.

Preservatives

Ever read a label? Preservatives are everywhere. Sure nobody wants to eat spoiled food, but should we be adding chemicals to it? Think about this. These chemicals kill bacteria and molds .......... hmmmm .......... they sound like poisons to me. I wonder how many "preservatives" we'd have to eat before they'd kill us.

Medicine

So, your eyes are red from all the pollution. You've got an upset stomach from all the chemicals in the food you ate. Your throat is sore from breathing in smoke, and you've developed a few other health problems. I guess you need to hit a drugstore. Sure, buy some eye-drops to reduce the redness in your eyes. Your eyes natural defense against pollution in your eyes is to increase the blood supply to the eyes, making them appear red....... but you'd rather have pretty white eyes. Your stomach needs some chemicals to settle down, that sounds healthy. Your throat.... yea, spray some stuff in there too, and maybe some lozenges of more chemicals. Also, don't forget to see the pharmacist to get your "regular medicines" for whatever else ails you. Odds are, it could probably be traced back to some man-made chemical origin.

Radiation

EMF (electo-motive force) from power lines and appliances, MW (microwave) energy from our ovens, and mobile communications, UV (ultraviolet) waves from our reduced ozone layer, sounds to me like your a prime candidate for CANCER. So, how will we treat that....... how about some chemical therapy (chemotherapy) and some more radiation. Yep, they'll nuke you, in hopes of killing off the cells that have gone bad. I sure hope the rest of you is healthy enough to survive it.

Help!

Wondering what you can do about it? Well, I'd try to avoid as many chemicals as you can. Since your fighting problems that are upon us now, it is impossible to undo what man has done, but you can try to not contribute to the problems any more than necessary. Try to eat more natural foods, not those with preservatives, chemically treated or genetically altered. Take a look at everything you put in and on your body. I've had all three of my metal fillings replaced with composites. Whether the fillings are hurting us is controversial, and others will claim there is no evidence that it is hurting us. I find a lot of information on exposure to heavy metals causing health problems (I work in the metal industry) and believe there is a link. I should mention that Aluminum (from deodorants, cookware, etc.) is also highly suspect with causing neurological damage. I'm avoiding those also. I currently use only Stainless Steel (300 series (note: This is non-magnetic Stainless Steel)) cookware (note: Some foreign made cookware is marked Stainless Steel, but is really Aluminum. You can tell by the weight of the piece if it is Aluminum.), and one of those Mineral Salt Deodorants available in health food stores. I also use a Fluoride free toothpaste, and filter all my water. You could probably become a fanatic about this stuff, but it's too late for that. You can't control enough of your damaged environment to make a big difference, but you might be able to add a little time or quality to your life.

My message to mankind is: If you'd like to kill yourself, just keep on doing what your doing. It seems to be working.

Unfortunately, time is not on my side. I am unable to enter the information here as fast as I can think, or find enough free-time to research everything I'd like to. Please be patient, tell me your opinions and ideas, and stop back soon for updates.

I'd like to hear your opinion on this section.
