If you have been exposed to more chemicals that you should have, 

start avoiding all chemicals as much as possible.  

Don't drink diet sodas, eat foods with additives (nutra-sweet or Equal), eat Chinese foods (MSG), etc.  Avoid carpeting in your home... etc., etc.

Avoid alcohol

accelerates liver damage, 

when liver damage is possible

Avoid getting a permanent, eating strawberries, using household cleaning products *

Stop Smoking

A pastor says ..."not good to drink sodas too much as they have aspartame which is not good for you... & it can cause nose bleeds."  Another lady said her headache's stopped when she quit drinking diet soda.   So people exposed to chemicals have to limit as much as possible the little exposures (pesticides on food, questionable food additives, etc.) so there is not continued build-up & more serious problems such as cancers coming their way.

 

Don't use CanolaOil for sure... Instead use something like virgin olive oil to cook in and for salads would be good; by the way mono unsaturated oil is better than poly... as to cholesterol ... because it helps get rid of bad cholesterol ... not bad and good cholesterol

 

A local Valdez doctor beat melanoma after being told he had 6 months to live & is doing well after several years.  He claims eating more vegetables and having an alkaline body chemistry will offset the cancers that try to attack us!  Something to check into!  Eat broccoli ... has the good calcium!  Or can get supplements (calcium / caltrate ... eat your cucumbers, too! Cancers don't thrive in an alkaline pH.  (Note:  this doctor has had a rare form of melanoma liver cancer & has been given only weeks to live/ May, 2003)  His cancer was only detected by inserting a camera at the naval area... cancer had spread to the stomach, too; there is nothing doctors can do.  This is a man who lived right and took care of himself.  I don't believe, however, that he has been checked for chemical poisoning as a cause.  He has lived in Valdez for many years.  In early 1990's he had melanoma eye damage & one eye removed.  6-22-03

Another possibility to ponder:

As a chiropractor in 1989 in Valdez & on....

 
I just noticed in an article that solvents are excreted through one's body....   many solvents are excreted through the respiratory system, maybe the skin, too  
 
The kind of cancers Dr. has, melanoma of the eye and melanoma liver cancer are types that 2-butoxyethanol could cause  (Capt Richard had melanoma, etc)
 

If he treated many of the Exxon Valdez Oil spill workers, 

many were exposed to the 2-butoxyethanol in Inipol EAP 22

and experimental Corexit (still on the Alyeska terminal ready for use today)

 

The only way to be tested for chemical exposures is thru specialty labs, 

the regular medical tests don't find it;

 

This chemical also causes hemolytic anemia right away

There would be some change noticeable in red blood counts at the point someone is affected by 2-butoxyethanol

Organic milk.  Some cows have additives given to them.

Avoid popcorn with artificial butter.  Cook popcorn the old fashioned way. and add real butter.  Real butter is more healthy, by the way, than margarine they are learning.

This is especially true for children * of those who have been chemically overexposed.  They came into life already with a certain amount of exposure, & can't handle as much chemicals as the average person can.

*From  WHO  (World Health Organization - via Toxins Awareness Group):  paint solvents (such as 2-butoxyethanol) are carcinogenic, painters having a 40% higher chance of  lung cancer and 20% higher of stomach, bladder, larynx, etc cancers, 

while their children are at increased risk of leukemia and brain tumors.

Pesticides & other chemicals to avoid  * Things  you can do to help

HELP!  *

Don't take unnecessary prescribed medication - that is experimental!

Some workers have reported toxic overloads from prescribed medications, too.
