Understanding How Environmental Factors Affect Children’s Asthma

The Center for Environmental Research and Children’s Health at the University of California – Berkeley also looked at the effects of agriculture on children but they specifically looked at childhood organophosphate exposure. They found that exposure lead to increased asthma symptoms and decreased lung function. Another chemical they looked at was sulfur, specifically because it is a low-toxicity pesticide approved for both conventional and organic agriculture use. Poorer respiratory performance was associated with higher sulfur exposure. Link for this report

Understanding How Environmental Factors Affect Children’s Asthma
Sponsoring Program Name:
NIEHS/EPA

In the United States, 6.2 million children are affected by asthma, causing them to miss school, extracurricular activities, and other important events.

Environmental factors such as air pollution, mold, and secondhand smoke can worsen common asthma symptoms.

Research from the NIEHS/EPA children’s centers has increased understanding of what factors heighten asthma and what can be done to help children maintain a normal quality of life.

University of Iowa Children’s Environmental Airway Disease Center researched how children who live in rural communities are impacted by the agricultural settings surrounding them. There was a notion that rural life had a protective effect on childhood asthma, but this study showed that though the pollutants were different than those in urban settings, organic dusts and particles in rural areas still affected children.

Other Centers looked at the effect of traffic-related air pollution, including particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, among others. The underlying finding across all the centers was that children who live, attend school, or play near major roadways are more susceptible to asthma.

The University of Southern California Children’s Environmental Health Center specifically looked at the risk of asthma in children with no prior history of asthma and the onset of asthma in younger children living near roadways.

Researchers at the Center for the Study of Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment at Johns Hopkins University used high-efficiency filters in homes with smokers. These filters resulted in 33 fewer days per year that contributed to asthma symptoms.

Research from these Children’s Centers continue to support advancements and increased understanding of how environmental factors affect children’s asthma. By understanding the elements that influence asthma, communities and families are better able to protect and help their children manage this chronic disease. Learn more about the children’s centers research on asthma and other children’s health topics in the 2017 Children’s Center Impact Report.

FWC to suspend aquatic spraying

1/24/2019

This is great news!! Make it permanent NOT temporary - Our sea animals and WE need this stopped for our Health - there are alternatives that are NOT poison. The amount being sprayed into our waters is documented on their site and is frightening

Jan 23rd, 2019 · by Katrina Elsken
CLEWISTON — In response to public complaints and concerns about chemical spraying to control aquatic plants, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission will temporarily suspend the aquatic herbicide spraying program.

On Jan. 23, Ramon Iglesias, who has been active in the movement to halt aquatic spraying, shared a letter online that he received from Kipp Frohlich, Division of Habitat and Species Conservation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, “I wanted to let you know that beginning next week, I have directed staff to take a temporary pause in our aquatic herbicide treatment program throughout the state. During this pause staff will work to set up meetings where we can collect public comment regarding aquatic plant management. Once we have meetings set up I will be sure you are notified and hope that you will be able to attend. I hope I can also schedule a time when I can meet with you and Ms. Martin while I am in South Florida,” Mr. Frohlich wrote.

French Safety Agency Discovers 60 Toxic Chemicals including Glyphosate in Baby Diapers

1/24/2019

This is disgraceful and we must work to get them to stop this.
Posted on Jan 23 2019 - 3:56am by @SustainablePulse

A report published Wednesday by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) has warned about “the presence of different hazardous chemicals in disposable diapers that can migrate into the urine and come into prolonged contact with babies’ skin.”

The list of chemicals is as long as it is disturbing. In total, ANSES identified some 60 chemicals, including glyphosate, the active chemical in Monsanto’s infamous herbicide Roundup. Some of the pesticides in the report have been banned in the European Union for over fifteen years, such as lindane, quintozene and hexachlorobenzene. Read the entire article click here

Could This Radical New Approach to Alzheimer’s Lead to a Breakthrough?

1/23/2019

Thanks to CALUSA WATERKEEPER for sharing this informative article about L-Serine - I wrote about this in October and my family started taking the powder - It is a wonderful product and I have felt a noticeable difference. So has my husband. He has two parents with Alzheimers and we want to be sure we do everything we can NOT to get it, plus it has helped with the problems we were having from the Toxic Bacteria in the sand, air and water from our visits to the beach.

When I researched it in October at that time there were only 4 products available that I could find anywhere...in searching today its being offered by many more... Because it works. My original post included a video and testimonials plus where you can purchase the products. Original Post CLICK HERE

Could This Radical New Approach to Alzheimer’s Lead to a Breakthrough?
Big Pharma has spent billions and gotten nowhere. Here's what we could learn from a new theory.
By Rick Tetzeli
January 18, 2019

In a small lab in Jackson Hole, Wyo., 65-year-old Paul Cox believes he’s closing in on a treatment that might prevent Alzheimer’s disease. And ALS. And a host of other neurodegenerative diseases, for that matter. Cox, we should point out, isn’t a neurologist. He isn’t a physician of any kind. He doesn’t work at a big drug company or an academic medical center or a government laboratory. His ideas come from so far outside the mainstream of neurological research that you might think he’s crazy or deluded or worse. But then, some very credible people think he might be on to something big—which might make the improbable, quixotic story you are about to read one of the most important as well.

Eye-opening Dementia Breakthrough Announced Today by USC Researchers

1/15/2019

By Good News Network -
Jan 14, 2019
A study suggesting dementia may be caused by leaky blood vessels in the brain was welcomed by the Alzheimer’s Society who said it could lead to earlier diagnosis and potential treatments.

A research team at the University of Southern California found that leaky capillaries turned out to be early onset indicators of Alzheimer’s disease, signaling cognitive impairment before the hallmark toxic protein buildup begins.

They now believe that repairing the leaks could slow down the devastating neurological illness—or even prevent the debilitating condition. Though cautioning that future studies are needed, one co-author called the results “eye-opening.”

EPA Caught Cherry Picking Glyphosate Studies

1/15/2019

Thanks to Moms Across America for sharing this

BY ZEN HONEYCUTT ON JANUARY 14, 2019
Have you been wondering why many farmers, scientists, and regulatory agencies are claiming that glyphosate is safe? Are you confused as to why our EPA says that they have the science to show that glyphosate is not a carcinogen...but the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has found that it is a carcinogen? We have!

Thank Goodness that scientist Charles Benbrook has combed through the studies analyzed by both agencies and has found out exactly why they came to their decisions. Guess what... SURPRISE! cherrypicking is definitely at play!

To summarize for you:
EPA cited 109 total assays not included in the IARC report, 87% of which were regulatory studies commissioned by industry, and all but one was negative.

IARC included the results from 67 assays not included in EPA’s analysis, all of which were from peer-reviewed publications, and 82% of which had at least one positive result for genotoxicity.

In genetics, genotoxicity describes the property of chemical agents that damage the genetic information within a cell causing mutations, which may lead to cancer. While genotoxicity is often confused with mutagenicity, all mutagens are genotoxic, whereas not all genotoxic substances are mutagenic.

Glyphosate Herbicide Exposure Linked to Parkinson’s Disease

1/12/2019

This new study from Washington State in the U.S. has revealed a link between premature mortality from Parkinson’s disease and exposure to glyphosate and paraquat.
Estimated residential exposure to agricultural chemicals and premature mortality by Parkinson’s disease in Washington state

Full Paper: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/15/12/2885/htm

Authors: Mariah Caballero, Solmaz Amiri, Justin T. Denney, Pablo Monsivais, Perry Hystad, Ofer Amram

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between estimated residential exposure to agricultural chemical application and premature mortality from Parkinson’s disease (PD) in Washington State. Washington State mortality records for 2011–2015 were geocoded using residential addresses, and classified as having exposure to agricultural land-use within 1000 meters. Generalized linear models were used to explore the association between land-use associated with agricultural chemical application and premature mortality from PD. Individuals exposed to land-use associated with glyphosate had 33% higher odds of premature mortality than those that were not exposed (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) = 1.06–1.67). Exposure to cropland associated with all pesticide application (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.98–1.44) or Paraquat application (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 0.99–1.51) was not significantly associated with premature mortality from PD, but the effect size was in the hypothesized direction. No significant associations were observed between exposure to Atrazine (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.84–1.74) or Diazinon (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.85–1.34), and premature mortality from PD. The relationship between pesticide exposure and premature mortality aligns with previous biological, toxicological, and epidemiological findings. Glyphosate, the world’s most heavily applied herbicide, and an active ingredient in Roundup® and Paraquat, a toxic herbicide, has shown to be associated with the odds of premature mortality from PD.

14 Foods That Cleanse the Liver

1/12/2019

Thanks to by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM Global Healing Group

Modern society is a sad state that produces many over-processed livers. When we overeat or eat processed or fried foods, or anytime we are exposed to environmental pollutants or stress, the liver becomes overworked and overloaded. When the liver is taxed, it can't process toxins and fat in an efficient way. There are many foods that can help cleanse the liver naturally by stimulating its natural ability to expel toxic waste from the body.

In the past, I have discussed my favorite cleansing foods. The list in this article is a little more specific and focuses mainly on foods that can help cleanse your liver. All it takes is a few simple steps to promote normal liver health. In addition to taking a liver cleansing supplement, and performing at least two liver and gallbladder cleanses per year, eating the following foods is the best way to keep your liver healthy and functioning. I encourage you to incorporate these liver cleanse foods into your diet.

Summary

The common cold, a type of upper respiratory infection (URI), is the most frequent infection a person will encounter in their lifetime. It is estimated that there are more than 220 different cold viruses which infect humans. After exposure, it normally takes one to three days for illness to start, and the duration of a cold is usually seven days, but in some cases can last several weeks. The same virus never infects the same person twice, and while there is no cure for the common cold, there are ways to prevent infection.

by Eric Madrid MD

More dangerous than a cold is the Influenza virus, also known as The Flu. The Flu affects millions of people worldwide annually. Sometimes the flu can result in death in high-risk individuals (i.e. diabetics, those with lung disease, senior citizens and cancer patients). Death is usually the result of a secondary bacterial infection such as pneumonia, which can occur due to one’s immune system having been weakened.
