BROMIDE: HIDDEN DANGERS IN YOUR BREAD & MATTRESSES

We have to treat these common additives as exactly what they are, HIGH GRADE

POISON.

The Thyroid Gland is critical in the body. The extent of its ability to function

normally determines your degree of overall heath. It is a bell weather

indicator. A compromised immune system is much more vulnerable to infection &

seasonal influenza. Vaccines undermine the Immune System; in many cases

introducing live viruses & toxic heavy metals to an already overloaded

environment. The synergy of immunological, neurological & physiological well

being hangs in the balance.

Thus the delicacy of our glands must be protected. Otherwise a domino effect of

sickness & long term deterioration of health are inevitable.

Substances which interfere with Thyroid function include Fluoride, Aluminum,

Mercury, Chemicals, white sugar, processed food/oil & common household products

including Bromide.

Bromide has been widely distributed commercially; from bread to mattresses. It's

also turning up in our tap water. Bromide drastically inhibits the Thyroid Gland

from performing its basic function - regulating body temperature & the metabolic

rate (biochemical reactivity) of every cell.

Bromide is an insidious additive used in many common products, and as a

pesticide. Because of the sheer amount of bromide supplemented products,

exposure to this man-made additive has caused a depletion of iodine in human

populations. Studies in lab animals provide alarming evidence that even small

amounts of bromide exposure can be toxic.

Bromide is found in pesticides (methyl bromide), some bread products as flour

enhancer (potassium bromate), brominated vegetable oil that may be added to

citrus-flavored drinks (ie. Mountain Dew, Orange Crush), hot tub cleansers,

certain asthma inhalers, prescription drugs, plastic products, some personal

care products, some fabric dyes, and as a fire retardant in mattresses,

carpeting, etc.

Elevated bromide levels have been implicated in every thyroid disease, from

simple hypothyroidism to auto-immune diseases to thyroid cancer. Bromide levels

are found 50 times higher in thyroid cancer than normal thyroid tissue.

Rats fed even the minimal amount of bromine expected to be encountered in the

environment underwent goiter-like changes, an arguable case of bromide

dominance. In the FIRE project, exposing rats to the brominated flame retardant

compound, bromocyclodecane, showed consistent effects on the thyroid hormone

axis, including decreased T4. Thyroid gland cells have increased size and larger

nuclei, indicating increased synthetic activity.

Based on animal research, bromides have also been linked to behavioral problems,

neurodevelopment and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADD/ADHD) in

children, depression & schizophrenia. The European Union has already banned some

PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) compounds, and it is hoped that countries

still allowing their use will follow suit.

Methyl Bromide was repeatedly found to cause cancer in lab rats. Despite a

universal ban Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, Israel, Japan,

the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the UK and the US maintain an exemption due to

the adverse 'economic pain' that would result from the ban.

EPA GUIDELINES: While most uses of methyl bromide have been phased out, certain

" critical " uses (i.e., those for which there are no available alternatives) are

exempted.

The following are registered pesticidal uses:

A) Soil fumigant: Methyl bromide gas is injected into the soil before a crop is

planted. This treatment, which effectively sterilizes the soil, kills the vast

majority of soil organisms.

Commodity treatment: Methyl bromide gas is used for post-harvest pest control

and can be injected into a chamber or under a tarp containing commodities such

as grapes, raisins, cherries, nuts, and imported non-food materials.

C) Structural pest control treatment: Methyl bromide gas is used to fumigate

buildings for termites, warehouses and food processing facilities for insects

and rodents, aircraft for rodents, and ships (and other transportation vehicles)

for various pests.

D) Quarantine Uses: USDA's Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS)

uses methyl bromide to treat imported commodities as required by quarantine

regulations.

As of September 2007, the US FDA still endorses its widespread use as a flour

enhancer & fire retardant in a variety of household products. " Potassium Bromate

is still listed as a safe additive. "

Think of your body as a Stradivarius Violin. Every time you expose it to these

toxins it loses more of its inherent resonance. By middle age most of us have

lost the qualities of that gift given to us. Granted many are born with

pre-existing medical issues. But the odds are most of you reading this have

experienced a deterioration of overall health since your early years. There are

specific reason why. And there are solutions to the problem. Self sufficiency

begins at home.

NOTE: Everyone please be aware it's not just bread & flour you have to be

concerned about. This product is being used as fire retardant in your pillows,

couches, mattresses, most likely everything stuffable throughout your home. It's

also in your water. Research for yourself. Find the official water quality

report for your region, most recent one. You'll find Bromide in it. It's also

being used a a fumigant in farmers' soil so again it's insidious.
