RE:Risk of exposure to microbial contaminants in comparison to chemicals

Re: [HealthyIndia] RE: Researcher

Dispels Myth of Dioxins and Plastic

 

.... risk from exposure to microbial contaminants is much greater

than that from chemicals....

 

I have heard this logic many times.

But how true is it?

 

It is important to do cutting edge research on this assumption.

THE BODY IS DESIGNED TO HANDLE MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION It may not be

able to handle chemical contamination equally well.

 

For us in India. We need a closer look at the plastic menace.

Routinely I find plastic waste being burnt along the wayside along

with other waste. Our shopkeepers are adept at packing items in

paper, why do we need plastic?

Earlier tooth brushes used to be packed in paper packages,

now they come packaged in plastic blister packs. A fantastic

nuisance, you can't figure out how hard or soft the bristles are.

Unfortunately paper packages too are nowadays covered by a thin

layer of plastic to increase the shine (and durability). When I

published my book I had a choice to laminate the cover in plastic -

thanks to my ignorance I chose to go for the lamination option. I

would'nt do it again - book covers without laminations seem to be

perfectly OK.

Hi Selvara,

In regards to your query on the body's ability to handle chemicals,

I found the following information especially noteworthy!

 

" The body's natural defenses try to breakdown toxins as they enter.

These are called 'metabolites' and can be significantly

" more toxic " than the original chemical " ....

 

I totally agree! The burning of plastics leads to even more

contamination in that burning (especially in incinerators)

creates " dioxins " which accumulate in our bodies! Many of the

experts claim that dioxins are highly carcinogenic and it appears

from existing studies and other evidence that they are.

Author supports above by adding few lines here.

 

Endotoxins are internally generated toxins inside the body during

detoxification process in the liver.

PLease check out:

 

ayurveda/messages/6173

 

" The liver transforms fat-soluble toxins into a water-soluble form so

they can be released through the kidneys (for elimination through the

urine) and into the bile (for elimination through the colon). This

transformation occurs through a two-phase enzyme process.

 

In first phase of detoxification, 50 to 100 liver enzymes metabolize

or

chemically break down toxins absorbed from the intestinal tract,

aswell

as hormones, alcohol, nicotine, drugs and a wide variety of

chemicals from food and water.

 

As a result of first phase

detoxification, toxins are neutralized and released into bile or made

water-soluble so the kidneys can excrete them in urine.

 

More complex toxins are converted to a more chemically active form

called " active intermediaries " (pharmaceutical drugs are examples of

toxins that

require conversion to become active intermediaries).

 

These molecular intermediaries are often even more toxic than the

original substance and therefore, can do significant damage if

they're

not promptly eliminated.

 

In second phase of liver detoxification, these active

intermediaries must be converted a second time where they are

combined with mineral compounds, amino acids or other biochemicals

that are water-soluble.

 

It is only after this second phase conversion

that they can safely be excreted in the urine and the bile. "

 

 

These days, 90% populations appears to be suffering from poor

detoxification process in liver, due to clogging of bile ducts by

toxins or fat(cholesterol). In latter case we use term " fatty " liver,

not allowing any weight loss methods to work. Gives rise to " pot

belly " , truncal obesity and los of breathing capacity due to

restricted diphragm movement. End is of course heart disease of

various types defined by mainstream science.

 

This is the background on which breathing techniques of Baba Ramdev

are

finding popular following in India and now even in U.K.

 

Those who have no time for breathing exercises etc ( lack of time is

a " false " excuse of course), can at least do liver detox twice a

year, September-October and March-April being ideal time. Nature

helps patients at this time.

 

 

I totally agree! The burning of plastics leads to even more

contamination in that burning (especially in incinerators)

creates " dioxins " which accumulate in our bodies! Many of the

experts claim that dioxins are highly carcinogenic and it appears

from existing studies and other evidence that they are!

 

Ayurveda theories support this. If one wishes body to digest

something quickly, supply fire ( " agni " ) to it. Cook for longer time.

Acc. to laws of science (thermodynamics) when heat or energy is

supplied " entropy " increases, and " increase of entropy " makes the

product carcinogenic. Unstable, explosive growth causing etc. That is

why nicotine and other toxins in smoke are more dangerous than in

simple tobacco. Many drugs, when smoked, readily enter central

nervous system through same " strotas " or " nadis " of ayurveda, through

which " prana " is supposed to enter. That is the reason, those who

smoke, they smoke through mouth, but release the smoke through

nostrils, absorbing more intoxicants.

 

The increase of entropy is due to genetic modifications to plants

and animals( making them less compatible with the environment and

our digestive system ),

depletion of genetic diversity of plants and animals,

depletion of many natural compounds in soils,

depletion of biodiversity on farms and in soils, and

pollution of soils, water and the food supply with various chemicals

and radioactive waste.
