Wake Up and Take Charge
Many of the diseases and ailments that are running rampant these days can actually be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding the chemicals and toxins that compromise our bodies’ immune system. Awareness really is a vital key. There are some ailments, however, that are on the rise that we still need to do research on before we can determine how to actually prevent them. Autism is one of those ailments. As the above-mentioned magazine mentioned in another article, twenty years ago there were only four cases of autism for every 10,000 births, but currently, in New Jersey alone, one in every 150 children has some form of it! Unfortunately, it seems avoiding the issues and not thinking about the root cause has become something of a mantra for some of us. The magazine actually went on to state that during one recent study on the suspected connection between autism and childhood vaccinations, the researchers recommended that NO further research be done into this possible link because (God help us if it really is the culprit), “the public may become too afraid to get vaccinated!”

Once again, it seems the chemical/pharmaceutical companies have us all wrapped around their greedy little finger! It’s time to wake up and take charge of our own health because it’s all too obvious that the chemical/pharmaceutical companies seem to be mainly interested in their own interests. What a monopoly they seem to have—exposing us to carcinogenic chemicals that are proven to cause disease, then treating us with chemicals which cause horrendous side effects, then using more chemicals on us to treat the side effects—it’s a win/win/win situation for them all the way around!

But there are ways we can turn our situation into a winning hand. And one of the best ways is to simply try to avoid the toxic chemicals which threaten to pollute and poison our bodies and the environment! Every effort to do this, no matter how small, is a worthwhile step in the right direction. Good luck with your efforts, and may you have a healthy vibrant life, and never bury your head in the sand again!
