Air Quality
North Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. Air in the average home has been shown to be 3 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air.
Signs of Toxic Exposure
Every day we are exposed to numerous toxic substances, causing various symptoms such as:
Environmental Working Group site has much more information on toxins in the home.
Cancer
Do you know someone who has cancer, and are worried that you may get cancer yourself? According to Statistics Canada, based on current incidence rates:
- 40% of Canadian women and 45% of Canadian men will get cancer in their lifetime.
- 24% of women and 29% of men will die from cancer.
- 30% of new cancer cases and 17% of cancer deaths will occur in young and middle-aged adults ages 20-59.
There have been many studies supporting the link between toxins and cancer and other ailments. What is not known is the effects of having many chemicals combined together in our bodies. To reverse this disturbing and destructive trend, we must stop inundating our bodies with toxic substances. On an episode of The Lens on CBC, called Homo Toxicus, a Montreal woman had herself tested and found 110 contaminants in her body. No wonder people are getting sick.
Canada's Health Care System
Our health care system is bursting at the seams. The lineups in hospital emergency rooms leave people waiting for as much as 12 to 15 hours, and often their problem still isn't properly diagnosed. Doctors treat individual symptoms with drugs, and rarely get to the source of the problem. Referrals to specialists often take months, and if the problem turns out to be something different, you start the cycle all over again. We need to start by eliminating the sources of our illness, not by treating the symptoms. Our health care may be free, but it is virtually ineffective.
Charities and Funding
Where do most of our funding and charitable dollars go? To the many organizations that focus their efforts on treating disease with drugs and therapy. Nobody wants to admit that there are toxins all around us, because somebody would have to be held accountable. Therefore very few people are looking at what is CAUSING disease.
Some Toxins that are found in Homes
Here are just a few of the toxins likely to be found in most households today:
Formaldehyde (Respiratory irritant, carcinogen)
Phthalates (Hormone disruptor, linked to cancer)
Ammonia (Eye irritant, headaches, lung irritation)
Mold and Fungus (flu like symptoms)
Carbon Monoxide (Headaches, death)
Brominated Flame Retardants (toxic, build up in human tissues)
