Hundreds of Chemicals Found in Newborns

(NaturalNews) The umbilical cord is the lifeline of infants; it brings nutrients

and oxygen to the baby. These days, it also brings hundreds of poisons.

Recently, the Environmental Working Group tested the umbilical cord blood of ten

American minority infants, and found a total of 232 known poisons in their

blood.

The study found BPA, a petrochemical found in baby bottles, water bottles, and

computer equipment. BPA is an environmental estrogen connected to birth defects,

sexual dysfunction, hormonal problems, and diminished intellectual capability.

BPA was found in nine out of ten of the blood samples.

Perfluorobutanoic acid was found; it's a member of the PFC chemical family and

is common in non-stick cookware and water-resistant coatings. The most studied

PFCs are linked to cancer, birth defects, and infertility. Substances banned in

the 70's were found in the blood headed to these infants. These substances,

PCBs, cause damage to the immune system and disrupt the endocrine system.

Synthetic fragrances from perfumes and detergents were found. Nine out of ten of

the umbilical cords contained chemical components from rocket fuel, which

interfere with brain development and the thyroid. A fire retardant was found

that interferes with the thyroid's function and may disrupt the production of

T-cells - and our bodies use T-cells to fight disease. Lead and mercury were

also found.

Years ago, scientists thought that many of these chemicals weren't able to cross

into the umbilical cord blood and into the infant. However, once again, the

scientists who make claims that man-made chemicals don't harm us or accumulate

in the body are shown to be wrong.

The Environmental Working Group conducted the study to influence public policy

to actually protect us from the man-made poisons that are everywhere. It's an

admirable step. However, a few other points have yet to be addressed, including:

When will the medical profession get the point that having an abundance of

poisons in our bodies is cause for concern and at the root of many common health

problems? And: When will the people and companies putting these poisons in

common consumables, thereby poisoning entire populations, be held accountable?

Simply banning these substances isn't enough; the profits from the sale of them

should be distributed to the members of the community that have been exposed to

them, and who have problems that these chemicals create. And finally: When will

the average consumer become fully aware of the dangers of man-made chemicals and

whenever possible, refuse to buy or use them?

In light of the fact that most of us are poisoned from birth - which keeps on

coming with exposure to more chemicals in life - it seems a little crazy that

Congress is battling over who is going to pay for drugs (more chemicals) for

people with health problems. Wouldn't a more viable path be to open federally

funded detoxification centers across the country to get these poisons out of our

bodies - while finding more effective and efficient ways to remove these

chemicals from each of us here on Earth?

The Environmental Working Group conducted a similar study in 2005 which focused

on the industrial poisons found in the umbilical cord blood of American infants,

but not necessarily of minorities. The 2005 study found 287 known poisons in

their blood, and due to the expense of the testing, only 400 chemicals were

tested for. There are over 80,000 industrial chemicals currently in use, and the

vast majority have never had any safety testing.

To the contrary, the hundred of chemicals found in newborns is just one more reason that a "one size fits all" vaccine appears scientifically implausible......proving once again Richet's Nobel Prize award winning theory of "Anaphylaxis"....wherein Richet theorizes each individual inherits a "genetic" immune system that is unique to that individual as are their fingerprints and DNA.

After all, I suspect science as well as common sense would agree, that each individual will inherit from their parents an immune system that may have already developed a "genetically inherited" intolerance for at least some of the "hundreds of chemicals" being found in newborns.....sooo...no scientist can say with any scientific certainty they know how those individual newborns will react when injected with even more chemicals in vaccines.

This article said: "The 2005 study found 287 known poisons in their blood, and due to the expense of the testing, only 400 chemicals were tested for. There are over 80,000 industrial chemicals currently in use, and the vast majority have never had any safety testing.

How many of those "80,000 industrial chemicals currently in use" have been tested to see how they interact with the numerous chemicals routinely found in childhood vaccines?
