Asbestos and Your Health – What You Need to Know

Asbestos and Your Health – What You Need to Know

Asbestos
is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction, insulation, and many household products. While its heat-resistant properties made it a popular material, asbestos exposure is now recognized as a serious health hazard.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos refers to a group of minerals made of microscopic fibers. When disturbed, these fibers can become airborne and easily inhaled, posing significant health risks.

Health Risks of Asbestos

Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to several dangerous health conditions, including:

  • Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease that causes scarring of lung tissue and difficulty breathing.

  • Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart.

  • Lung Cancer: The risk of lung cancer increases significantly for those exposed to asbestos, especially smokers.

  • Other Cancers: Asbestos exposure has also been linked to cancers of the larynx, ovary, and gastrointestinal tract.

Who Is at Risk?

People working in construction, shipyards, or industries using asbestos-containing materials are at the highest risk. However, anyone living or working in a building with aging asbestos materials can be exposed, especially during renovations or demolitions.

Prevention and Safety

  • Do Not Disturb: Never try to remove asbestos-containing materials yourself. Always hire licensed professionals.

  • Regular Inspections: If your home or workplace was built before the 1980s, consider having it inspected for asbestos.

  • Protective Gear: Workers dealing with asbestos must use proper protective equipment and follow safety regulations.

Conclusion

Asbestos is a hidden danger that can have life-threatening consequences. Awareness, prevention, and professional handling are essential to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Did you know that we are continuously being exposed to negative frequencies? Cell phone radiation is a damaging form of non-ionizing radiation that is present in our day to day lives, at home and at work. Levels of exposure vary from area to area, depending on where you live and how often you use your mobile phone or wireless device. However, cell phone radiation has a slow but cumulative effect on the human body. It changes your body's frequency from the Schumann Resonance of 7.385 Hertz to 9.3-9.5 Hertz. When this happens, your immune system becomes compromised. It is not a matter of if, but when.

 "Electromagnetic pollution (EMF's) may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century, all the more dangerous because it is invisible and insensible".

Andrew Weil, M.D.

 Computers and wireless devices have shown to increase the incidences of leukemia, lymphoma and nervous system cancers in children. Exposure may cause cancer, headaches, chronic fatigue, heart trouble, allergic reactions, convulsions, hypertension, central nervous system disorders, food sensitivities, emotional instability, reduction of sexual capability, bed-wetting, short-term memory loss and increase the number of seizures in epileptics. People who use cell phones without protection greatly increase their risk of developing brain tumors. There is an increased risk of various types of cancer in workers who are exposed to low-frequency radiation. Some occupations include:

ElectriciansWeldersComputer OperatorsPilotsDoctorsHospital StaffDentistsFire FightersPolice OfficersBroadcastersActorsTruck DriversEnergy WorkersMassage TherapistsHydro WorkersTelecommunication TechniciansGovernment EmployeesOffice StaffAny other occupation where you are continuously exposed to electromagnetic fields

 Take a few minutes to answer the following questions: 

Do you use a cellular or cordless phone?Do you use computers?Do you use wireless devices?Do you use a hair dryer, electric razor or electric toothbrush?Do you use tanning beds? Do you operate electronics or appliances in their electromagnetic fields?Do you eat food that was heated in a microwave oven?Do you sleep on a waterbed?Do you use an electric blanket?Do you have a satellite dish?Do you have a television close to your bed?Do you sleep next to a radio, lamp, alarm clock or other electronic gadget?Do you spend long periods of time under fluorescent lights?Is your home heated by a floor heating system?Is your home beside a hydro field, electrical transformer, or satellite tower?Do you feel drained after spending time in front of your computer?Do you or your children spend hours playing computer video games?Is the concentration of your child at school questionable?Do you feel that you are sensitive to electronics?Are there any chronic health issues that you or a member of your family has to deal with?

 If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you or your family are likely over-exposed to electromagnetic radiation. Get tested by a practitioner with a Vega Test machine, biofeedback machine, electro-dermal screening machine, or radionics machine. Ask them to check your body's frequency. You will likely find out that you are in the "higher than normal" range. Here are my recommendations:

 

Get treated for the years of over-exposure. This can be done by a homeopath, naturopath, or with a "do it yourself" solution such as a "Lotus Shield". (available at www.buyradiationprotection.com)Protect yourself from future exposure with radiation eliminator chips for your cell phone, cordless phone, or wireless device.

Asbestos in the Home: Where to Find It, What to Do About It, and Associated Health Risks

If your home was built between the 1940s and the 1980s, there’s a very good chance that it contains asbestos. And if you’re planning on doing any kind of renovation in your home today, you need to understand the health hazards associated with asbestos, as well as how to protect yourself from this toxic substance.

Asbestos is an organically occurring fibrous mineral, which has long been prized for its extreme ability to resist heat and fire, as well as its strength, durability, and flexibility. Since it can be woven into cloth or mixed with other materials to create building products, asbestos was widely used during the mid-20th century in a variety of commercial, residential, automotive and maritime applications. It was considered so useful, in fact, that at one time the United States military actually mandated its usage on Navy ships.

Unfortunately, asbestos has become known as a carcinogen. Its microscopic, needle-like fibers are easily inhaled when the material is damaged or crushed, and they can lead to devastating diseases such as mesothelioma
