Chemical Residues

Why is the number of people being diagnosed with diseases increasing each year beyond the national birth averages, and why so many people are being treated for their symptoms by qualified doctors instead of being tested to find the actual cause of the disease manifesting their symptoms? The answer, though extremely complicated (involving the food and medical industries, insurance companies providing client coverage refusing to pay for extensive lab tests, an entire host of government agencies monitoring them, and entities making profit from advertising and sponsoring those industries and agencies) - is basically nothing more than saving money and greed.

In the world we live in we come into contact and react to many natural conditions involving temperature, plants, animals and soil conditions. Whether in the form of a disease or as simple chemical reactions - some of these affect us adversely under normal conditions and it has taken millions of years for us to naturally adapt to them. But humanity has changed this world we live on and over a few thousand years has multiplied exponentially the number of chemicals, medicines, plants, and food products that unnaturally affect us - no matter how many rigorous tests and clinical trials are involved! If you want a simple answer as to how or why ... then you'll usually find a simple answer.

Simple chemical or medicinal answers may have been because the product:

Had unknown properties not found during clinical studies,
Was released due to lack of proper regulations or supervision of regulations, which allowed the product to be marketed,
Chemical composition showed stable under normal environmental conditions, yet changed once introduced to abnormal conditions of temperature or surroundings which made the product toxic,
Showed conclusive test reports of viability, which were basically lied about in order to get a product sold and on the market.
Contained substances considered metabolically indigestible and safe in the diet industry that are introduced into thousands of food items as fillers and sweeteners, which later are found to be absorbed by animals and human digestive systems as minute amounts of residues, though toxic, are considered viable due to inconclusive testing.

Many forms of disease and chemical sensitivity are natural to humanity, but the developmental rate and number of people being diagnosed with them is not normal! To find the answers as to why allergies, adverse reactions, or diseases have become so common to so many people and animals means having to look at all possible causes:

There are now over 70,000 chemicals commercially produced in the U.S. alone, and the number is increasing.
We come into contact with more than 500 chemicals and toxic substances in our every day lives. Some of the most toxic chemicals used in industry are transported through large urban communities. Most Toxic spills of products even in minute quantities and exposure are extremely deadly.
Agricultural food agencies and industries allow pesticide residues in processed and unprocessed foods as being “within acceptable limits” of contaminants in our food, air and water. Pesticides formed from very complex chemical bonds are used to prevent fungal growth and kill bacteria and insects that affect plants and animals. Many pesticides bond with other chemicals (some found in the human body) altering their chemical composition.
Testing of pesticides and chemicals may show safe individually as a residue, but group testing of combinations of residue chemicals and pesticides being stored in the bodies of animals, plants, and people are not being tested - all forms of different foods are eaten from a variety of different exposed sources!
Many pesticides are accumulative in exposure, so what may not affect you now - "Will sometime in the Future"! This promotes Quantity vs. Quality modes of thinking which only increases the number of people affected by such contaminated foods.

Chemical Sensitivity

No one is immune, and even a normal person can become chemically sensitive after only a single exposure to a particular concentrated chemical substance, especially if that person’s immunity system has been overloaded or damaged from previous exposures. Some complex chemicals, such as pesticides and their residues, build up in the body’s tissues (fatty tissue, pancreas, liver, etc...), others do immediate damage and are then flushed out and disappear, leaving no trace whatsoever. We cannot totally avoid chemical exposure, so our best protection is to limit environmental toxicity.

The development of multiple forms of chemical sensitivity affects not only people and animals but the entire ecological environment. Due to the differences in genetic makeup - all forms of life are affected to a lesser or greater degree by exposure to different forms of diseases and biological or synthetic toxins. Chemical sensitivities manifest when some form of primary exposure to a disease or toxin (whether its’ nature is of biological or chemical origin) suppresses the immune system of the host to the point that it is damaged, which then affects the hosts ability to fight off diseases and manifest secondary symptoms with a much larger range of chemical sensitivities - involving long term systemic problems. Some who succumb to these secondary problems may have never openly manifested symptoms of sensitivity to the primary source that originally damaged the hosts’ immune system.

The astronomical number of chemicals (residues considered to be at safe levels for consumption) contaminating foods is creating this medical nightmare costing untold billions of dollars! I have researched and provided a few items of interest that will help you come to your own conclusions - I promise you will want to ask many more questions and do more research of your own -

Terms and Processes

Pesticide - The term pesticide includes many kinds of ingredients used in products, such as insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, insect repellants, weed killers, antimicrobials, and swimming pool chemicals, which are designed to prevent, destroy, repel, or reduce pests of any sort. Before a pesticide may be marketed and used in the United States, EPA evaluates the proposed pesticide thoroughly to ensure that it will not harm human health or the environment. Pesticides that pass this evaluation are granted a license or "registration" that permits their sale and use according to requirements set by EPA to protect human health and the environment. Pesticide registration is described in a separate fact sheet.

EPA Tolerances set to ensure food safety - Before allowing the use of a pesticide on food crops, EPA sets a tolerance, or maximum residue limit, which is the amount of pesticide residue allowed to remain in or on each treated food commodity. The tolerance is the residue level that triggers enforcement actions. That is, if residues are found above that level, the commodity will be subject to seizure by the government. In setting the tolerance, EPA must make a safety finding that the pesticide can be used with "reasonable certainty of no harm." To make this finding, EPA considers

the toxicity of the pesticide and its break-down products
how much of the pesticide is applied and how often
how much of the pesticide (i.e., the residue) remains in or on food by the time it is marketed and prepared

EPA ensures that the tolerance selected will be safe. The tolerance applies to food imported into this country, as well as to food grown here in the U.S.
