What chemicals are in your body (Getty Images)

http://www.yahoo.com/s/734191

There has been little scientific inquiry into the net effect of being exposed to many chemicals at the same time, the so-called "toxic soup effect."
Complicating the toxicology is the counterintuitive concept of hormesis, a phenomenon in which a small dose of an otherwise toxic substance can be helpful. Studies on plants and animals have documented it in alcohol, antibiotics, hydrocarbons and pesticides.
Nevertheless, Prof. Spengler and many other scientists believe that exposure to a range of chemicals in the environment may be behind a host of emerging health problems in addition to those already well documented. "We're concerned about the growing rates of cancer in our society, the growing rates of autism," he says. "In most developed countries, asthma has grown substantially over the past 20 years, particularly in children"
As for myself, Prof. Spengler says there's very little I can do to reduce the contamination that is already in my body. Aside from eating different types of fish to lower my mercury level, the PCBs and pesticides are there for the long haul while the solvents will continue to show up in my breath as long as I'm exposed to cars and trucks, which are kind of difficult to avoid.
Prof. Spengler says the solution is targeting chemicals we don't want in our bodies in the first place. He points to PBDEs, which has been referred to as the "PCBs of the 21st century."
Research commissioned by The Globe and Mail and CTV News found that many everyday foods consumed by Canadians -- such as salmon, ground beef, cheese and butter -- are laced with PBDEs.
In Sweden, the flame retardants were banned after rising levels were noticed in the breast milk of women. "They said to the industry, 'We don't want them in our plastics. We don't what them in our materials' -- and they started to see the levels come down," Prof. Spengler says.
"Now, you see the similar data out of North American women. . . . The levels are already 50 times higher in our populations and nobody is saying, 'Ban that product.' ... So I think this really has to do with how we've come to judge what is beneficial to the population," he says. "[But] at what point do we invoke some precaution?"

MARK'S BODY
Test results show low levels of 76 chemicals.
Metals in blood*
metal Normal levels (ppb):Mark's levels (ppb):
Lead <100 19.13
Manganese 4.2-16.5 969
Cadmium <5 0.06

Mercury in hair
EPA reference level: 1.0 ppm
Mark's level: 0.411 ppm

Arsenic in toenails
Normal level: below 0.2 ppm
Mark's level: 0.032 ppm

Solvents in breath (nanogram/litre)
solvent Mark
MTBE 6.22**
Hexane 2.71
Benzene 4.23
Toluene 4.05
Xylene 1.38
Pinene 4.30
Limonene 108.42***
Pesticides in blood
Mark has 0.879 ppb of DDT (low to average)
PCBs in blood
Mark has 0.82 ppb (low to average)
Lead content in bone
Mark has 4.67 ppm (average)
*Lead, cadmium and mercury are not considered "natural" elements in the body. Manganese, on the other hand, is an essential element at very trace amounts.
**MTBE, a fuel additive to improve emissions, could have been inhaled in the United States where it is much more common than in Canada.
***The high limonene level could be attributed to orange juice or air freshener.

    Hello Sharon and Friends

       As an advocate for children with autism, I have done a tremendous amount of research regarding chemicals and heavy metals on the health of our children. I have found much evidence suggestng that one of the most prevailant causes of autism is mercury. Mercury was used for many years as a preservative in childhood immunizations and has finally been banned from use in many countries around the world. The most convincing piece of evidence that I found verifying the link between autism and mercury was a study done on right here in my home state of Pa.

        There is a large community of Amish people living in Lancaster Pa and there is something very significant about the study that was done on this community. The Amish do not vaccinate their children. There is no autism in the Amish community. The Amish also do not drive cars or use electricity. They plow their feilds with horse drawn plows and travel in horse drawn carriages.

        So, in my mind, there is no doubt that much of our desease and illness is caused by our enviroment. What we eat and breathe plays a vital role in our health and we are not a healthy nation. The rate of autism in this country is now 1 case in every 150 children. This is the national average, which means that in some places this rate is much higher or lower. There are some cities in the U.S where the rate of Autism, asthma, cancer and other deseases far exceeds the national average.

         Bottom line is this. Our health is very clearly connected to our enviroment. It is important that we take care in choosing what we eat and what we breathe. I am proud to be associated with a company like Jerky Direct Premium Products because of their dedication to providing us with healthy alternatives to what we are used to consuming. If more companies were as concerned about our health as JD Premium, we would be a lot healthier as a nation.

               and be there waiting,,, when you awaken.
     
    Sincerly, Bill Vanderbilt
