Americans have 40% to 100% more flame retardants “PBDEs” in our blood than Europeans. Our levels are doubling every two to four years because PBDEs are the number two most toxic environmental pollutant that is a persistent organic pollutant, “POP”, which never leaves the body.
Why is that a health risk?
Because recent studies link PBDEs to cancer and chronic illness. Unfortunately, our 1970s lawmakers didn’t know about these health risks when they legislated the application of flame retardants in American mattresses, couches, chairs, clothes, circuit boards, airline seats, and the list goes on.
Why did 1970s lawmakers force PBDE application in practically anything American’s touch?
“So some smoking drunk wouldn’t burn himself up at night,” says Sherry Rogers, MD, an expert in healing environmental illness caused by toxicants in our air, water, food, homes, cars, airplanes and offices. Dr. Rogers was interviewed by Suzanne Somers in chapter 4 of her book, Tox-Sick To Not Sick.
How is old PBDE legislation causing more harm than good?
In chapter 6, Dr. Garry Gordon, another MD who’s healing environmental illness, referred to a study by David Ewing Duncan, UCSF. David was stunned to find out he was loaded with flame retardants. Turns out he flies a lot.
Lawmakers thinking is that if a plane crashes the seats have to be made with flame retardants so a person has a better chance of surviving. Regulations insisted that every seat be fire retardant.
Our 1970s lawmakers didn’t know then what we know now–that flame retardants are dangerous chemicals not fit for the human body. “All the fire-retardant seats do is expose passengers to harmful chemicals for long periods of time, and they also are ineffective,” concludes Dr. Gordon.
Tox-Sick to Not Sick mentions an increased incidence of prostrate cancer in frequent fliers, because each time they fly they are exposed to and absorb toxic fire retardants that stay in their bodies and cause illness. The antidote?
