Several years back the San Diego Union Tribune announced that rocket fuel was regularly being found in milk. Yes, you read that right... I did say rocket fuel. I was stunned by this and shared it with a friend. My friend didn't think it was a big deal, and honestly, I think I found that more surprising. Because, of course, children drink milk and therefore, they are putting rocket fuel into their bodies - sometimes several times each day. Well, you understand...



Later, I learned that this same person believed that the chlorine that municipalities put in the water didn't harm us and was actually helpful in making us clean while bathing. At first I was sure that this was a joke, but I was assured it was not. Sometimes you just shake your head a little bit.

Unfortunately, though, I think it's common practice for people today to dramatically underestimate the damage caused to our bodies by putting such chemicals inside our bodies. And I believe it's also common for people to underestimate and just not to be aware of all of the hidden and dangerous chemicals in what we consume, like in milk and far too many more commonly consumed items.

Unfortunately, our bodies aren't designed for this bombardment of chemicals, and we don't just effectively eliminate all of these chemicals - so we end up storing a lot of them. And the assertions that these chemicals are safe in the body are comical. Seriously, how would anyone know for an absolute valid fact that any of these chemicals are safe in the body?

Most of the chemicals that are common in the body haven't been on the planet that long, so it would be absolutely impossible for any real and valid studies to have been done that look at the effects of time, accumulation, and the combination of the chemicals that you're studying with other chemicals from other sources that are also trapped in the body. Or, for that matter, if all of these chemicals trapped in the body have any effects on the next generation. Or the generation after that. It simply hasn't been done, or has it?

At the same time that the use of so many different man-made chemicals in and on our bodies has increased, health problems have also increased dramatically. They're rising so quickly you can almost watch it happen. Not long ago, it was estimated that 30 percent of the population would have a problem with cancer. Now, the estimate is that 50 percent of the population will have a problem with cancer.

In fact, you could look at our society as a whole, with the increase in both the number of common chemicals used in and on our bodies, and the dramatic rise in health problems and say conclusively: We've conducted one giant experiment, with the participation of an entire culture. Regrettably, we've found that without a doubt, the use and accumulation of unnatural chemicals in the body absolutely causes problems. Although often times, you don't see the problems right away which is unfortunately why we didn't make the connection sooner.

The only question left is: Do we want to keep this experiment with our health and bodies up? Or do we want to spend some time deeply cleansing our bodies to remove all of these stored chemicals and dramatically curtail their use - in general? Do we want to put an stop this experiment or do we want to just let people (and generations) keep getting sicker and sicker? It's our choice: What will we decide?
