Comments on: First lead, now mercury makes a toxic comeback http://www.hazards.org/greenjobs/blog/2009/11/24/first-lead-now-mercury-makes-a-toxic-comeback/ Hazards magazine | International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:38:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: on anxiety attack http://www.hazards.org/greenjobs/blog/2009/11/24/first-lead-now-mercury-makes-a-toxic-comeback/comment-page-1/#comment-1038 on anxiety attack Tue, 03 Aug 2010 07:54:32 +0000 http://www.hazards.org/greenjobs/blog/?p=515#comment-1038 This is a very informative site which discusses about environmental safety in general. I have heard many stories about the lead and mercury poisoning and the fatal results of such poisoning. What caught my attention in this post was the association of mercury poisoning with anxiety attacks. Is mercury the only chemical which can cause anxiety ? What about products that we eat contained in tin cans, plastics and other forms of packaging? I hope posts related to effects of chemicals used in packaging materials for foods will also be discussed here. This is a very informative site which discusses about environmental safety in general.

I can't believe public health is not put in the forefront when so many disorders and diseases have been linked to heavy metal poisoning. Luckily there are ways to reduce the amount of toxins in your body using natural and safe methods. Stuff like using infrared saunas, bentonite clay baths and taking supplements like fulvic acid, zeolites, chlorella, msm, or a product called adya clarity can reduce heavy metals in your body. We may not be able to change policy but we still have the power to take back our health. Green solutions need to be wholistic approaches that respect all aspects of our environment, including our health.

Great research on this article. This simply makes me want to crawl into a hole and not come out for fear of dying a horrible death from all these less friendly environmental pollutants.
