Environmental toxins
In this Unit we consider the effects of environmental toxins on our animals, and we discuss what we can do to reduce the risks.
Many of today’s illnesses in the human and animal population are increasingly being linked to cumulative poisoning. Pesticides, fertilisers and other toxic materials, ploughed into our soils and subsequently our food-chain, produce the astonishingly broad spectrum of deadly diseases afflicting us today. What common household and personal care products we use every day contain potentially harmful chemicals that can damage us over the long-term? What cosmetics products, costing us a fortune, are giving us beauty to die for?
Crops and other foodstuffs are becoming increasingly bio-engineered to render greater output and fatter profits. But what price will the citizen pay in the future? With human cloning, tiny human beings are now being reproduced and then ‘harvested’ - killed in the name of ‘scientific advancement’. Aside from the obvious areas open to brazen abuse, what are the health and moral implications of allowing ‘sibling spare parts’ to be lauded as a beneficial industry?
Conventional drug regimes for cancer, AIDS and other so-called ‘progressive’ illnesses are highly toxic and known carcinogens, which have a well documented capacity for causing the very illnesses they are designed to defeat and killing patients indiscriminately. Many thousands of people are needlessly suffering and dying, their conditions in many instances curable with unpatentable, non-toxic and non-invasive nutritional treatments. In the animal field, veterinary surgeons have very little to offer except steroids and antibiotics. Flea and tick repellent products have shamelessly carried carcinogenic chemicals. Some animal feed additives require farmers to wear full protective clothing before adding them to feed. These products are licensed by the Veterinary Products Committee, a division of DEFRA, as ‘safe’.
