OUR TOXIC WORLD: A WAKE UP CALL
Chemicals Damage Your Body, Brain, Behavior and Sex
by Author Doris J. Rapp, M.D. Board Certified
in Environmental Medicine, Pediatrics and Allergies
Serious
Chemical Concerns (addressed in her book):
In
UNBORN BABIES: They float nine months in chemicals (DDT and
PCBs) in the uterus. Their bowel movements and mother's milk
contain the same dangerous pesticides.
In
BOYS: The higher the chemical levels in their bodies, the
smaller the genitals. In the past 30-40 years, there has been a 30%
to 40% increase in undescended testicles, deformed penises and
changes in sexuality. Boys became feminized from dioxin and PCB's.
In
GIRLS: they can have early puberty from plastics, and PCB's can
masculinize females.
In
CHILDREN: Over 20 studies show pesticides, used inside and
outside homes or schools, on lawns or play grounds, can cause
leukemia, brain tumors, and lymphomas.
In
WOMEN: They now have more birth-damaged or developmentally or
learning-disabled babies, miscarriages, stillborns, infertility and
endometriosis than ever before If a pregnant woman uses flea soap,
or a pest collar on her dog, her unborn child has a 4 to 6-fold
increased chance of developing a brain tumor, leukemia or lymphoma
by the age of six years.
In
MEN: Up to 85% of males can be ineligible as sperm donors.
Sperm count averages have dropped from 125 million/ml in 1932 to 50
million/ml in 1998. Many wonder if men will be sterile in 70 years.
