PBDE, a flame retardant is a neurotoxin causing mental retardation in children

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola link

PBDE or Polybrominated diphenyl ethers or fire retardant found in carpets and beds are found to be the cause of neurodevelopmental retardation in children.  They are released during manufacture and likely to remain there.  90% are found in blood, 80% in children's  products, 60% are found in car seats.

They are found in polyurethane made products and can be found in most plastic parts and other electronic products.  Wash your hands after handling them 

PBDE is linked to decreased fertility, liver toxicity and thyroid problems.

One of the solutions is to go for organic home furnishings for your children that are chemical free. Vacuum often as they are found mostly in dust.

How to minimize risk from PBDE - fire retardant

Fw: The Lies from 4 Big Industries can make You Sicker

                         


                            


This is a feed from Dr. Jose Mercola.

l.  On the lies from big 4 industries:   chemical, pharma, biotech processed food industries

                                        



                
                 


                         
                       USA has highest level of PBDE
                                              
     Fire retardants  -   PBDE -  polybrominated diphenyl ethers, show up in very high concentration among women (because they are used heavily in furniture and electronics equipment) causing them to have thyroid problems (linked to fetal deaths) and altered fertility.

    Biotech  -  elsewhere we have mentioned the Round Up Soy by Monsanto that are resistant to glyphosphate.  That means these soy have been sprayed with glyphosphate and are toxic.














                       
                                     Many deaths have been attributed to Vioxx

                            
                                   Hmm opportunities for lawyers

   Pharma -   Merck has been slapped with lawsuit and fines on Vioxx which had many deaths linked to its usage.  It has a $6 billion worth of Vioxx recall, l00,000 cardiac events and 60,000 deaths.





                             


While marijuana, heroin, codeine are banned, there is the hydrocodone,  synthetic heroin, and once you take it, you are hooked -  legalized prohibited drug pushing by pharmas, eh.  Hydrocodone comes in combination with analgeiscs and other pharma  preparation.   And then what....

    USA is highly drugged, where every citizen takes an average of ll prescription giving rise to phenomenon called polypharma.   The pharma industry is at $800 billion industry and is expected to grow to $l.l trillion.  If were to compare the drug market ot GDP of nations, pharma would rank No. l5.

The main point here is that pharma is not concerned with wellness but with profit and sales, to the detriment of the patient.  The pharmas mindset would need overhauling

The public sector on the other hand, its officials, being helped by big Pharma and Industry lobbyists and campaign funds naturally simply do not regulate what these companies are doing ot harm the customers/consumers/patients.
