More than 80,000 chemical compounds have been developed in the past fifty years and each year some 2,00-3,000 new chemicals are brought to the EPA for approval. According to the EPA, US companies in 1998 manufactured 6.5 trillion pounds of 9,000 different chemicals. In 2000 they dumped over 7.1 billion pounds of 650 industrial chemicals in our air and water. There are over 5,000 chemicals in cosmetics, more than 3,200 chemicals in food and 500 chemicals in pesticides. Cigarette smoke has some 4,000 chemicals. The current guideline the EPA has for chemical levels in the body shows we are facing dangerous levels of exposure. A large study done by the CDC, and released in 2003, analyzes the effect of 116 chemicals on 2,500 children and adults over a two-year period. They found that toxins used by our society and industry, and consumer products in our homes and agriculture, are present in our bodies. Many toxins remain in our body and over the years accumulate into a greater concentration. This bio accumulation of toxins in our tissues compromises our immune system and renders it functionally deficient and vulnerable.
The reality of our world today is alarming and it will take global heroic efforts to bring about change. For the past 30 years we have been a part of the global call and dialogue for change and have worked towards the betterment of our earth, our resources and fellow human beings. Our home is a global environment and therefore our initiative has a simple straightforward approach: Clean our home environment, help our body and help the world. Small steps can mean great changes and the accumulative effects of good deeds by millions of people will save our world.
There is no doubt that the dietary customs of any culture, group or individual play a major role in their health, vitality and longevity. In the last few decades, the typically compromised western fast food dietary habits have spread worldwide and are producing an ever growing nutritional calamity and is considered by scientists to be the major causative factor of today's complex disease patterns. The increasingly hostile environment contains with more toxins, chemicals, pollution and virulent pathogens, and threatens to overwhelm our immune system.
The body desperately needs more intense and powerful nutrients to counteract, heal, protect and maintain good health. Our own government recognizes the need for a dramatic change in our dietary patterns and has given the edict, thru our USDA and DSHS: to consume at least 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day. World wide, governments create campaigns and slogans to remind their citizens to eat more vegetables and fruits.
Scientifically and medically: Survival of the Fittest has never being so poignant. The "5-A-Day for Better Health" campaign is not just a recommendation but also a serious must-do for the human species to survive. Our bodies are designed to subsist on Multi Dimensional Nutritional Requisites.
From the first day of conception to the last breath we take, our bodies require nourishing foods to grow, repair and sustain.

Join us in the journey towards better health!
