The past 150 years have been a time of incredible progress for medicine, science and industry. Because of these
advancements we now enjoy longer, more productive lives. However, there are many who pay a tremendously high price
for our modern lifestyle. The by-products of our chemical technology have resulted in ubiquitous contamination of our
atmosphere, lakes, oceans and soil. Our natural environment is now permeated by a barrage of "unnatural" substances.
Unquestionably, many of the chemical sources have been in existence for centuries. However, today we are exposed
to chemical concentrations far greater than were our ancestors. Although the human mechanism is known to be
accommodating, ecological alterations are now occurring at a faster rate than our bodies are able to adapt. We are
now faced with a situation where inadequacies or uncertainties centering around the manufacturing, use, storage,
and disposal of toxic chemicals, have resulted in an overwhelming number of environmentally-induced illnesses.
Since 1965, over 4 million distinct chemical compounds have been reported in scientific literature. Over 6000 new
chemicals were added to this list between 1965 and 1978. As of 1981, of over 70,000 chemicals in commercial
production, 3,000 have been identified as intentionally added to our food supplies and over 700 in drinking water.
During food processing and storage 10,000 other compounds can become an integral part of many commonly
used foods. Added to this list of potential body toxins, petrochemicals, industrial waste, medical and street drugs,
radiation (X-rays, nuclear fallout etc.) and tons of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, the result is an incredible
chemicalavalanche to have befallen the human race in a relatively short period of evolutionary history.
There is currently a wealth of scientific evidence showing that thousands of drugs, preservatives, pesticides, and
other pollutants remain stored in the body long after exposure. We know for example that an organochlorinated
pesticide such as the metabolites of DDT have a half life of between 20 and 50 years in the fat deposits of humans.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over 400 chemicals have been detected in human tissue; 48
were found in adipose tissue, 40 in breastmilk, 73 in the liver andover 250 in the blood.
