Content Excerpts:
"Our recent fears about toxic chemicals have typically centered
around catastrophic diseases such as cancer, lung disease, chronic allergies and chronic asthma, all of which are associated
with environmental toxic pollutants; all of which are to a great degree causally-related to our past and present energy policies
in the U.S.A. ..."
"There is growing evidence to suggest that toxic chemical pollutants
cause brain damage which stems in part from the disruption to the endrocrine system, thyroid, hormones, etc. ..."
"The precise nature of the damage done by the hormones during
the particular timing and extent of the disruption determines which glands are malaffected from birth. ..."
"When thyroid levels are too high or too low (caused by toxic pollutants
due to our past and present energy policies), this developmental process (during gestation) will go away and permanent
damage will result , which can range from retardation to more subtle behavior disorders and learning disabilites . ..."
"Hormone-disrupting tosic chemicals can diminish individuals
without making them sick. For this reason, there is an urgent need to look for 'impaired disorders' or disorders that
fit the classic notion of disease. For example, having difficulty with full memory, or difficulty in paying
attention because of exposure to PCBS [209 toxic chemicals in this classification] as a result of combusting fossil
fuels such as oil, coal, natural gas, liquified natural gas, LNG, methane or propane)
is very different from having a brain tumor", stated in previous research by Dr. Theo Colburn, "because toxic
chemicals can derail development [while in the womb] in the embryo and will manifest in different glands and in different
stages of development, for example undescended testicles, low sperm count at puberty, or testicular cancer in middle age because
of the natal hormone disruption. These are typical effects [from combustion of fossil fuels] which manifest themselves
in many shades of gray rather than in the black distinctions made between health and illness." ...
