HEALTH SHOULD BE TREASURED NOT BREATHED AWAY!
 |
HAS BREATHING BECOME HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH?
How do we know if we are affected by our environment? What are the signs that our bodies are under attack from the air around us?
Have you ever had headaches or an irritated nose and throat that would not go away? Allergic skin reactions? Dizziness and fatigue, even after a good night’s sleep? These symptoms can be easily ignored or explained away. Over-the-counter medicines, such as aspirin or cold medicine, hide and mask them, keeping us from looking for their cause!

HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE BEING POISONED?
Exposure to solvents, cleaning agents, pesticides, and other volatile organic compounds can cause all of these symptoms, plus nausea, epistaxis, and dyspnea.
Heavy metals in the atmosphere, like lead and mercury vapour, can affect the gastrointestinal tract and cause muscle cramps and tremors, weakness, personality changes, hearing loss… the list goes on!
Biological pollutants, such as animal dander, molds and dust mites can also help spread diseases and infections. Plus they can be a cause of chest tightness, persistent cough, and rhinitis.
Stoves, space heaters, furnaces and fireplaces can also make us ill. Dizziness, headaches, eye irritation, and increased frequency of angina in persons with coronary heart disease, plus many of the other symptoms already mentioned, can be caused by these combustion sources.
