Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | I mentioned that if you put a teflon nonstick pan on your stove, turn up the heat on high, and happen to have a pet parakeet on your shoulder, the poor parakeet would probably drop dead from the dangerous, poisonous fumes coming from the teflon nonstick coating. These fumes are generated when high heat is applied. I have said that science is not better than nature. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | He went on to describe the physical properties of teflon and how its near-frictionless coating would deter nearly all vehicle skids.
The city council heartily agreed with Dr. West, and they issued new public bonds to raise the money required to buy enough teflon to coat all the city's streets. Within weeks, the streets were completely coated, and the skid marks all but disappeared.
The city council paid Dr. West another consulting fee and thanked him for his expertise. The problem of traffic accidents in Allopath was solved, they thought. | Donna Jackson Nakazawa See book keywords and concepts | A thin wisp of gray smoke rises up from the teflon pan's edges, emitting a chemical stench so intense that Becky throws open the kitchen window, batting the air with her hands.
Half an hour later they arrive at Selena's preschool. Becky stands holding Selena's hand, with Zach strapped to her chest in a baby carrier, at the crosswalk, waiting for the light to change. A bus pulls out in front of them, spewing a blast of diesel exhaust. A few seconds later a delivery truck rumbles by, letting out another diesel belch. | Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith See book keywords and concepts | Cadmium: Cigarettes, batteries, automobile exhaust, pink dyes used in dentures, welding fumes, ceramic glazes, many art supplies, teflon, fungicides, plastic
?Copper: Some cooking utensils and plumbing, gold dental fillings and crowns, insecticides
?Aluminum: Some drugs (including antacids), most baking powders, some cooking utensils, antiperspirants, cosmetics, foil, acid rain
?Arsenic: Pesticides, smog, tobacco smoke, a by-product of metal ore smelting and coal-fired power plants, wood preservatives in lumber and playgrounds, green pigment used in toys, curtains, carpets, colored chalk
? | | When heated, Teflon's chemical off-gassing will kill some birds if they are in the same room.
Aluminum has had a long history, from fables that it can cause Alzheimer's to facts that it's a powerful neurotoxin damaging to brain cells. Yet it can be found in numerous products, including vaccines routinely given to children. Almost all food and water supplies contain some amount of aluminum, for
FACT
BPA is at unsafe levels in one of every ten servings of canned foods (11 percent) and one of every three cans of infant formula (33 percent). | David Steinman See book keywords and concepts | Bucky Bailey is a member of one of eight families living near the DuPont factory in Parkersburg, West Virginia, who are suing the company over the effects of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the chemicals used in teflon petrochemical fluoropolymers. His mother, Sue Bailey, was a factory worker exposed to PFOA while pregnant. Mr. Bailey was born with only one nostril and other facial defects for which he has had thirty operations. He has recently married but does not intend to have children for fear they would inherit his condition. | | All right, a little teflon is cool, I guess. It isn't hurting anyone, right? Well, we don't know. You see, besides trying to figure out how a so-called inert chemical got into all of our bodies, we now also know, the health implications could be significant. | | The EPA says that the chemicals used in teflon and related products could pose "a potential risk of developmental and other adverse effects" on human health.45
Save the world? My God, I've got to save me first. Relax. Everything is going to be okay. We can get you over this. The good news is there are ways to bring sanity back to your world?
and, believe it or not, it all starts in the home. | Mark Schapiro See book keywords and concepts | In the notorious teflon pans. You cook peacefully, but actually you are getting a stab in the back! In fact they have been linked to liver damage and can lead to an increased risk of bladder and possibly other cancers. What scared me more when I saw the results was the existence of these 'false friends': They should help us, but they damage us."5
Later I called Ms. Bruno's doctor, Donatella Caserta, who is director of the physiology and pathology unit at the Center for Human Reproduction at the University of Rome; she had volunteered to consult with the World Wildlife Fund in Italy. Dr. | Ron Garner See book keywords and concepts | Fluorides can also be found in teflon pans, pesticides sprayed on fruit, and some beverages and food items. To minimize exposure, use only filtered drinking water, thoroughly wash fruit before eating, read labels, and avoid any products that contain fluoride.
Pesticides
According to the World Health Organization, more than 3 million people become ill and 220,000 die worldwide annually because of pesticides. Pesticides harm humans and animals alike. In the U.S., it is reported that more than one-third of the calls to animal poison centers result from pets exposed to pesticides. | Paul D. Blanc, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Technically known as fluorocarbon monomers or polymers, this chemical family includes freon and teflon. Only after several decades of use did a number of risks from fluorocarbons become known or suspected, ranging from reproductive effects to ozone depletion. In contrast, it became apparent soon after their introduction into the marketplace that some of these substances, especially when overheated, release byproducts that cause fever and flu symptoms. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | Waterless cooking cannot be accomplished with teflon, iron, aluminum, glass, porcelain and department store lightweight stainless steel. In the United States, you can buy 15-piece sets of 9-ply stainless steel cookware for as little as $180. Waterless cookware not only costs hundreds of dollars less than the cookware you see in cooking shows, but it also comes with a Lifetime Warranty (search for "Waterless Cookware" on the Internet or see Product Information). Please note there may be other metals in some parts of the cookware to make the steel extra hard and resistant to corrosion. | Donna Jackson Nakazawa See book keywords and concepts | Researchers recently showed that when added to the diets of rats, PFOA (perfluoroocta-noic acid, a breakdown chemical of teflon and one of the chemicals found in the blood panel screenings mentioned above), causes significant impairments in the ability of rats to develop an appropriate immune response. Similarly, other researchers showed that mice given organochlorine pesticides were much more susceptible to getting the autoimmune disease lupus than control mice.
Are these data absolutely definitive? It's not clear that the type of exposure these animals had is the same type that humans have. | | These chemicals included pesticides, phthalates, dioxins, flame retardants, and breakdown chemicals of teflon, among other chemicals known to damage the immune system. Shortly after, investigators in the Netherlands turned up similar findings: they discovered an array of chemicals commonly found in household cleaners, cosmetics, and furniture in the cord blood of thirty newborns.
OUR AUTOGEN-FILLED WORLD: HOW DID WE BECOME SO CONTAMINATED?
How do these chemicals creep into our bodies? | | Teflon is manufactured with a chemical known as per-fluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA—as are other nonstick cookware, car parts, flooring, computer chips, phone cables, Stainmaster carpet guard, upholstery, clothing, grease-resistant french fry boxes, and disposable coffee cups like the ones you get at your local coffee shop. PFOA can also now be found in blood samples of 96 percent of people in the United States. It does not break down in the environment and has a half-life of 4.4 years in humans. | | In a 2005 study, researchers found 287 industrial chemicals, including pesticides, phthalates, dioxins, flame-retardants, and the breakdown chemicals of teflon, in the fetal cord blood of ten newborn infants from around the country—transmitted to the infants by their mothers' exposures before and during pregnancy.
We are facing both an increasing prevalence of autoimmunity and an increasing exposure to environmental toxins. Is it clear that the increased exposure of environmental toxins is causing the increase in autoimmunity? | Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. See book keywords and concepts | When there is abundant nitric oxide in the bloodstream, it keeps blood flowing as if the vessels' surfaces were coated with the most slippery teflon, eliminating the stickiness of vessels and blood cells that is caused by high lipid levels and that, in turn, leads to plaque formation.
There is mounting evidence of the critical importance of the endothelium. German researchers recently studied more than 500 patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | This is obviously the case with teflon. The Associated Press reports that a $5 billion class action lawsuit is being filed against the DuPont company, stating that the chemical giant failed to warn consumers of the dangers of a teflon chemical. | Donna Jackson Nakazawa See book keywords and concepts | The coincidence in timing—between a medical community turning a blind eye to a mysterious, growing set of diseases with an unknown set of triggers and a society's rapid swell in production of everything from SUVs to teflon pans to furniture stuffed with flame-retardant foam—would turn out to be an ominous one, altering the well-being of millions of Americans.
Together, these two seemingly unrelated trends would set in place two of the key factors that would establish a "perfect storm" enabling an autoimmune epidemic to gather force and take hold. | Luca Turin See book keywords and concepts | Furthermore, if the rest of the receptor were made of teflon, or at any rate very slippery stuff, and the only sticky bit were the feature detector, then it might work. But every bit of the receptor will on average be as sticky or pushy as the bit the receptor is supposed to be interested in, so it'll be hard to arrange for feature detection unaffected by the rest of the molecule. Yet, as we shall soon see, this is precisely what our noses can do. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | DuPont has known for over twenty years that the teflon product, and the various chemicals it uses in the manufacturing of its products, cause cancer! Everyone knows that it causes cancer. The only issue is did DuPont lie in a massive attempt to continue to sell their product':' This is the point: everyone knew that these products cause cancer, and the executives of DuPont lied about it because they were only interested in selling the cookware and making the hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | Stop eating out of plastic, styrofoam, teflon and aluminum foil. Eat out of Pyrex or glass containers. For cooking, use iron or stainless steel.
•* Clean your air and water. Never drink tap water. Invest in a good water filter (Lotus Water Treatment System at www.Tersano.com), including one for your shower (www.Aquasana.com). Filter your air with a high-quality home air filter or purifier.
** Eliminate prescription drugs for good. Don't quit them cold turkey—work with a qualified physician to wean yourself off the drugs as your health improves. | Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | If you have nonstick pots or pans, be sure to use high-temp rated plastic utensils so you don't scrape the non-stick coating (such as teflon). Once the cookware has been scratched, it will begin to peel and bits of it end up in the food cooked on that surface. Avoiding teflon pans is really best.
• Pressure cookers allow you to cook nutritious whole foods (such as cooking beans) quickly and efficiently. The Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker is my favorite. For low-fat cooking, the bamboo steamer is the ultimate tool. | Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton See book keywords and concepts | Engine treatments to prevent friction, containing teflon and the heavy metal molybdenum.
>- Specialty lubricants, including specialty greases and synthetic lubricants, dielectric grease, silicone-based brake greases, heavy metal—based "moly" greases for lubricating shoepads, and synthetic motor oils. All the above chemicals and additives used in cars should be stored in a well-ventilated (to the outside air), cool place, preferably in sealed containers. Gloves should be used when these substances are handled, or, if this is not practicable, then hands should be washed shortly afterward. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Grill DuPont over the hidden story on teflon, and why it took so long for the truth to come out on its dangers to humans.
Gee, if you're looking for evil corporations to grill, you don't have to look very hard. From diabetes treatment centers that don't teach nutrition to medical journals that sell out their science to Big Pharma advertisers, there's evil, manipulation and censorship all around us. And we're not even talking about all the weapons manufacturers yet. America is a big country. There's lots of easy pickin' from the evil tree.
Sure, Google is an easy target. | Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Lisa Y. Lefferts and Anne Witte Garland See book keywords and concepts | | Although you should avoid scratching the pan with metal utensils, so that you don't eat teflon particles in your food and don't impair the pan's "nonstick" property, the particles wouldn't be absorbed by your body anyway. Just don't use teflon cookware for broiling, or leave it unattended at high heat, because it may give off fumes. One advantage to Teflon: you can use less oil.
þ Ceramic. The FDA recommends avoiding ceramic cookware from Mexico, China, India, and Hong Kong, because of the possibility that it may leach dangerous amounts of lead into food. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | Take your teflon and send it back to DuPont; demand a full refund. To join this class action suit go to NaturalCures.com. DuPont, of course, denies all the allegations. The bottom line: if you want to be healthy, throw away all nonstick cookware. Remember, science is not better than nature.
ANTIBIOTICS
I want to start with the bottom line—never, ever, ever take antibiotics unless you are about to die. That's right. Unless you have days to live, never take antibiotics. Antibiotics should virtually never be taken. Why? | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | This disease was invented by the roadaceuticals company to sell you teflon coatings."
The townspeople were horrified to hear such a statement. They knew Skid Marks Disease existed. The doctor had told them so. How could this hermit, who had no Motor Division (M.D.) degree, dare tell them otherwise? How could he question their collective town wisdom in such a way?
"This is a simple problem," the hermit continued. "All we need to do is build stop signs and traffic lights. Then the traffic accidents will cease."
Without pause, one city council member remarked, "But how can we afford stop signs? | | They all had jobs in emergency response services, car repair shops, hospitals and teflon coating maintenance. Some were now sales representatives of the roadaceuticals company. Others were importers of glass, tires, steel and other parts for cars. A few clever people were making a fortune selling wheelchairs and crutches to accident victims.
One enterprising young gentleman started a scientific journal that published research papers describing all the different kind of Skid Marks Diseases that had been observed and documented. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | And we should all eat pancakes scraped off teflon pans with metal spatulas. And don't forget to drink your fluoride, too, while you're at it.
Viruses linked to obesity?
Americans may have found yet another way to blame something else for their own poor decisions: Research published in the American Journal of Physiology explains that scientist with way too much time on their hands (who probably applied for this funding as a college prank) injected chickens with adenoviruses to see what might happen.
Unfortunately, the chickens didn't explode, so the Dept. |
