The connection to environmental toxins and health is a significant one. I found out through a series of events that occured in my own life. During the 1990s, I accepted a job to help out a friend who was overseeing an Environmental Protection Agency cleanup of a former military weapons facility. Fortunately, I wasn’t working at the actual site, but in a nearby off-site building that stored the public environmental records. It was an unnerving experience going onto the site for orientation. They started by providing me with a small button to wear. Next, I was led to a section with a line of computers and told to watch the training videos. I became concerned when they provided me with a radiation-detecting button. While I was seated at the computer station, the button began to beep. My eyes widened and anxiety started to set in, so I asked the reason for the button’s beeping. Was I being exposed to radiation? They said, “Oh, don’t worry about that. It happens all the time!” That’s the part that scared me! The others who were present during orientation went through the same experience. They told us we were safe, but were they lying? It’s not like there hasn’t been a huge history of governmental lies and coverups, right?
At the public environmental information center, my task was to input data from old medical records during the plant’s operation. The same job was being done by five other individuals as well. Big stacks of old boxes were brought in, and we were responsible for recording the document numbers. Following that, the pages were scanned using an OCR machine, duplicated, and compiled in binders for public records. It wasn’t a terrible job, plus I made plenty of new friends. The pay made up for the inconvenience of the two-hour round trip drive.
They came to the decision that after a year, it was necessary for everyone to work on the site in a room known as The Vault. I believe my father raised me to be smart, especially after I thought about the incident with the radiation detecting button at my orientation, so I refused to work in The Vault! We were told that our safety was being prioritized and all precautions were being taken. They mentioned that the site is divided into a clean side and a dirty side, and this falls into the clean category. I remained unwilling. There was absolutely no chance! The interesting part is that the clean and dirty sides were only divided by a painted line and warning signs! I let them know that I accepted this job as a favor to my friend, and I wasn’t in search of employment when I landed this opportunity. I would simply leave. In addition to my other reasons for declining the job at the Vault, I learned that I was expecting my youngest son.
Losing me was not something my boss wanted. She recognized that I possessed both strong work ethic and exceptional organizational skills. I was offered a job to stay at the office as the manager, with responsibilities including document scanning and copying. My decision to stay at the office instead of joining the other girls in the Vault didn’t please them, but it was a sufficient reason for me to stay employed.
As I archived the studies on the soil, water, and wildlife in the area, I understood why the radiation button kept going off, confirming my fears. The exposure to archived boxes of documents, the air, and the environment at the clean up site made me question what we were actually being exposed to. I soon found out the answers. Numerous reports emerged detailing animals with two heads, deformities, and an abundance of mutations in plants and vegetation. Previously, this Superfund site functioned as a military weapons plant. This plant, known as the Feed Materials Production Center, dealt with processing uranium. The water tower’s red-and-white checkerboard design and innocent name deceived local residents into believing it was a facility for producing animal feed or pet food. They have since learned, to their dismay, that not only was the facility fabricating uranium rods for nuclear-reactor fuel cores and components for warheads, but one of its even scarier outputs was radioactive pollution!
I won’t delve into the unspeakable horrors that were present there. A committee was formed by local residents to seek the truth, and soon after, individuals in hazmat suits started appearing at their homes to examine wells, storm drainage ditches, soil, and other things. Did I forget to mention that there have been documented cases of entire families, every single member, having some form of cancer? Despite that, we were reassured that there was no cause for concern as the site had been split into a clean and dirty section. Cross this line once, and you’ll be on the clean side. Cross it a second time, and you’ll find yourself on the dirty side. Really? There are no walls to prevent contaminants from entering. I had to repeatedly deliver items to the location. They would secure the little radiation detector button onto me, and if it beeped, they would say once more, “Oh, that’s no problem. There’s no need to worry about it, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s a common occurrence." Was I getting acute exposure to environmental toxins?
They LIED TO US! However, it was deemed acceptable as they operated covertly under the guise of national security for over 40 years! The absence of accountability resulted in no one taking responsibility for the human and environmental harm caused by a legalistic, bureaucratic shuffle. What’s even scarier? It has been converted into a park and wildlife sanctuary. People actually give permission for their children to go and play there!
When I gave birth to my son, he was born prematurely. Even now, after 27 years, I firmly hold the belief that his early arrival was a consequence of the harmful toxins I came into contact with. I quit that job, needless to say, to give my full attention to my newborn son. I was able to bring him home after a 6 week stay in the hospital.
My son’s first 6 months were filled with non-stop crying. They labeled it as colic. My health deteriorated during this period. My entire body ached, making it difficult to climb stairs because of the pain in my legs. Getting out of a chair was a real struggle for me! My headaches were unbearable, and my sinus issues and allergies were worse than ever before. That was when asthma also became a part of my life. I was clueless about what I should do about it. What was causing me to feel so terrible?
I made the decision to visit the doctor in hopes of finding a solution. I informed the doctor about the toxins from my job and asked for guidance on detoxification methods. I also had concerns about my son’s exposure to those toxins. The doctor admitted he had no clue how to eliminate the toxins, so all he could do was prescribe muscle relaxers, allergy medicine, an inhaler, and breathing treatments.
In the following 2 years, my condition deteriorated and I became even more concerned for my son’s health as well. Additionally, I was extremely depressed and struggled to focus. If the doctors couldn’t assist in removing these toxins that I genuinely thought were harming me, then I supposed I would need to handle it myself. I took it upon myself to research how toxic substances can be removed from the body. In my investigation, I uncovered the existence of chelation therapy, a treatment that is both expensive and invasive. Additionally, there were items such as charcoal, red clover, and various minerals and herbs that aid in detoxification, but none of them provide immediate results. There were limited resources for detoxifying my body.
Then, I came across information about a foot detox bath that can effectively remove toxins and heavy metals from the body. The process involved utilizing a pricy machine that made use of an array and natural salt to eliminate toxins. I started reaching out to places that had these machines to confirm that this method truly did work. I even scheduled a personal appointment to get a detox done. It was truly remarkable! The water in the pan was entirely black by the time my session ended. The water resembled used motor oil with various disgusting objects floating in it. I was fully convinced after this experience.
After getting a machine for detoxification and actively cleansing myself and my 6-year-old son, who struggled with hyperactivity and concentration, I felt compelled to delve deeper into the field of nutrition. My studies revealed that the ground’s mineral depletion from herbicides and pesticides means you need to consume bushel baskets of good food to match the nutrition from a century ago. For years, my mom made sure our entire family took supplements with breakfast every day. So I explored the world of supplements. I stumbled upon some excellent ones. Believe it or not, they were the first company to ever produce supplements in capsule form. Those were the same supplements my mom gave us years ago.
I took care of myself, my son, the rest of my family, and a few friends before finally deciding to embark on herbal classes and become a certified herbalist. Furthermore, I learned about Iridology from an Amish herbalist and successfully completed the certification process. By analyzing the iris, iridology uncovers insights about weak systems in the body. This was first done on horses to determine what nutrients they were lacking. I established my own business to provide assistance to others. I worked as an herbal counselor specializing in detox.
I was always on the lookout for ways to help people through innovative techniques. I began teaching classes to inform people about the importance of detoxifying and replenishing their bodies with essential nutrients. During this time, I came across a recently launched product. It was an activated liquid zeolite product. Since I was always my own test subject, I decided to order some and see for myself. I was amazed. I also shared it with my clients. To my surprise, when some of them tried it, their foot detox water was significantly cleaner than than it was previously. It’s impressive how efficiently this product ccould remove toxins from the body!
I had the opportunity to go to a conference specifically about the product. I was completely amazed when I heard the biochemist who invented it speak and he explained how it worked. Next, I attended a convention in Florida with hundreds of people who achieved incredible results using this product. For 2 days, I dedicated my free time to walking around and interviewing convention attendees about their purpose for being there and finding out what their personal stories were. There were some unbelievable things I heard that I was certain were true! I can’t even claim that water will cure your thirst, as that would classify it as a drug, but the human body’s ability to heal itself is truly remarkable when toxins are eliminated.
For several years, both my clients and I had been using this product. Some were regaining their energy, others were accomplishing things they hadn’t done in years, and a few were even experiencing a reversal of major issues. I believe that it even helped my son who was 8 years old at the time. His grades in school inproved and he was much calmer. It's amazing what happens when toxins are eliminated from our bodies! It’s not a cure, but a demonstration of the body’s ability to heal itself when toxins are eliminated.
Several companies were interested in hopping on the bandwagon and producing a similar product. The problem was that nobody had the exact technique, and none of the alternatives yielded the same results.
Despite experiencing significant improvements in my well-being after using this product for several years, the distributing company became greedy. I can’t give you all the details now, but it was a disgraceful situation. Sadly, after that I couldn’t get the product, leaving me unsure if I’d ever have the opportunity to get it again. But I am thrilled to announce that after a 16-year wait, it has returned! It’s being created by the same biochemist, and it’s an enhanced version of the original formula.
The connection between environmental toxins and health is widely recognized.
