What You Can't See Might Hurt You

Story Here. Dr. J. Patrick Havey

What you can't see may be hurting you. Not that we haven't been warned in the past, but I think the number of toxins that we're being exposed to is increasing every year. From the pollutants that are emitted in the air from automobiles and factories, and the pollutants that get in to the water and the soil, to the toxins that are in our detergants, soaps, processed foods, and just about everything else we come in contact with - our bodies are being bombarded. Now there comes an even smaller and, as if we could see the poisons before, less visible and more dangerous potential threat.

It's called nanotechnology. Nanotechnology deals with things that are smaller on the molecular or atomic level. This technology has given birth to such things as a better and longer bounce in tennis balls, stain resistance khakis, and even clear sunscreen. But the issue isn't so much what the technology can provide, but instead the danger of manipulating the atoms and molecules and what effects that may have on our health.

It is important to realize that all of these elements are getting into our system one way or another. If you smell it, it went into your lungs. If you taste it... well that's obvious. If you put it on your skin, it get's into your bloodstream through your skin - and what about those things that say "For External Use Only!"..? Yes, those get into your system too. Well, now with nanotechnology, there may be an even greater threat to our health each time we put on a shirt, pants, grab a tennis ball, swing a baseball bat, smell the interior of a new car, or just pick up a toothbrush. When you manipulate any type of matter on an atomic level, there is no way of telling what the consequences may be after one or thousands of uses or repetitions.

Remember asbestos? We didn't know the dangers then, but we do now. My guess is the same will happen as a result of our new technologies. We will eventually learn of the many harmful effects. Even Michael Crichton's book Prey ()tells the story of some nanomachines escaping the lab and threatening the world's existence.

Want to live health and improve your body's chance of successfully fighting and killing the toxins that you are ingesting everyday? Here's how: drink plenty of filtered water, eat lots of dark green vegetables, eat plenty of fruits, and keep a positive attitude. It's the best and most effective way you can live an energetic and healthy life. And if you need help with fruits and vegetables, check out a whole-food supplement that contains almost everyone of the phytonutrients that you get in the whole food. Listen and learn HERE.
