It's a yin/yang thing.

Sounds like a variant of homeopathy. Which I have evidence often works, although I cannot account for it based on standard biochemical models.

[KarlInOhio]

I will test this theory by ingesting a couple ounces of a toxin while watching football today.

C₂H₅OH

[ToKillaMockingbird]

That's what I was thinking also. We use homeopathy quite a bit. It has worked for us many times.

"The EPA does not want the American people to become cognizant of good environmental news, or potential savings in environmental cleanup, because in part they view the agency as a jobs program," says a scientist who often engages the EPA. "If the American people realize the environment is getting cleaner and healthier, they might seek to cut the funding of the EPA because much of its purpose has been accomplished. They seem to be afraid of losing their jobs."

Well, DUH!!!

The EPA IS nothing more than a government bureaucracy.

All bureaucracies are metastasized cancers whose sole purpose is to consume resources and grow larger.

The most fastidious clean careful people that I have met are also the sickest!

I have consumed huge amounts of asbestos, lead (siphoning gas, chewing it for gum, breathing lead oxide and paint, sanding body lead before bondo, etc.), trichlorethlene, and the vapors from spraying around 1000 gal. of paint yearly, dust from construction and anything else you might think of including DDT which I love the smell of and i've smoked since I was 11.

It's now been 57 years since i've been sick, had the measles when I was 8, and have never had the flu.

The EPA controls a large part of the funding, and therefore how the research is conducted, he says. Since the government is interested in saving lives, the research it funds in this area is almost always to study a toxin's lethal effect, as opposed to its beneficial side, so the research is not generated.

It seems we're not the only ones who have been saying the same thing for quite some time!!!

My sister gets asthma and cough each winter. Last year she took a common homepathic lung formulation and her problems ended

[dalereed]

"The EPA does not want the American people to become cognizant of good environmental news, or potential savings in environmental cleanup, because in part they view the agency as a jobs program," It isn't just the EPA, it's all government agencies!

[Gabz]

Agreed.

[rebelyell]

You SMOKE DDT? Wtf?!

[Just another Joe]

It appears that the dose may make more than the poison.

It's just possible it could keep you healthier.

[dalereed]

I've smoked cigarettes since I was 11 and breathed DDT daily during the summer in the 40s and early 50s spraying the back patio where we cooked and ate dinner most evenings.

Sorry for the bad grammar in the prior post.

For almost a year when she was two, my daughter had severe exzema, with only the soles of her feet and her scalp clear. We had to tie socks on her hands to keep her from clawing herself bloody. It got to where almost all my wife could do was rock her all day long while she cried. (Needless to say, Mom also almost went crazy.)

We tried every imaginable form of therapy, from cortisone injections to nutrition to acupuncture. Nothing worked, at all, and some of the side effects were nasty.

We finally located a homeopath 4 hours away. We drove there, went through the whole interview process, and he gave her a tiny amount of sulphur. At this point, she hadn't really slept in two days and nights. Within about 30 seconds of the sulphur entering her mouth, she went right to sleep. She slept all the way home and for almost 24 hours straight. When she woke up her eczema was almost entirely gone, and with one relapse has never come back.

This was over 20 years ago, when homeopathy was almost an underground movement.

I can't explain these results by standard science. The classic AMA explanation for the successes of homeopathy is "placebo effect." I defy anyone to get placebo effect to work on a 2-year old!

[dennisw]

I'm glad you got such happy results with homeopathy. It doesn't work for all but then neither do conventional medicines (drugs) and doctors have no qualms, no shame in prescribing them anyway on the theory they hopefully they will work.

[hobson]

My neighbor, who is also my cousin, is absolutely anal about food and environmental toxins. It's painful to have a meal with her because she talks non-stop about the "good" and "bad" properties of the food we are eating. I always find delight in informing her about the latest study that controverts the conventional "wisdom" that she so stringently lives by.

Oh, and she is a strict vegetarian who has thyroid, glaucoma, high cholesterol and heart problems.

Just like the Sugeon General. He is neither a Surgeon OR a General. heh!
