help to get pesticides and herbacides banned or as taboo as smoking

I’ve been checking in with the food recall and found out that some of the hills prescription diet (same persription brand my animals are on) has been compromised. Fortunately NOT my cats and dog’s perscription in particular but another of thier products. I though for sure I was safe having dry food that I got from the vet. Luckily My animals foods has corn glutton NOT wheat glutton.

Regardless I’ve was a bit worried and looked for advise on finding a new food. In my research I found that my dogs food contains something called Ethoxyquine. Its a pesticide that is used as a preservative. WHY this is used as a preserve I dont know. Regardless My dog has all the symptom of poisoning from this stuff. Shes got a delicate gut as it is but knowing now goes a long way to explain the skin problems and itching she has been having. I thought I was ok having perscription food but apparently not. I just wanted to pass this along because this stuff can cause kidney failure, liver cancer and thyroid problems. Check your dog food. I put my pooch on chicken and rice as of last night. From what I’m reading it takes about 4 months for this stuff to get out of their system. I started today.

I wrote to the sierra club today to ask them what they are doing about this. Especially in regards to how it affect fem hygiene products. MOST have residual pesticides in the cotton and they often use chlorine to bleach the products. Chlorine is a known endocrine disruptor.

WHY is this ok???

the cotton used for feminine sanitary products is not tested for pesticides and is often bleached with chlorine, A chemical that does wide spread damage to anything living. This is why it is used in pools and tap water, To Kill off tiny organisms. I dont understand why people seem to forget that humans are organisms too.

Its no wonder why fertility is dropping off so rapidly and autoimmune diseases are on the rise. Please consider what you are consuming. Companies are in the market to make profits and if no definitive connection is made between what they do and the side effects of that, they will continue to turn a blind eye to things that are even particularly detrimental.

please ladies buy organic products or consider switching to something like this

I bought this book years ago but something made me think of it again the other day. I picked it up and started reading it again today.

Its all about how the chemical revolution is killing us slowly, reducing intelligence and affecting our fertility. Scary book. It reaffirms my want to have a pro organic world.
