The protective measures suggested so far in this section are for specific poisons and toxic or harmful substances in your environment. When you know that you are, or will be, subjected to these specific poisons or health-destroying influences, the suggested measures can help you to protect your health against their damaging effect. The information on these specific, harmless vitamin and food substances that you can use to minimize or neutralize the effect of poisons in your environment, can be of great value if you are subjected, or expect to be subjected, to these specific sources of toxic or health-damaging assault.

But the most serious problem, for most of us, most of the time, is not the isolated poisons but the continuous total toxic assault from all directions. We are all subjected to radioactive substances and hundreds of poisons and toxic chemicals every day of our lives. The air we breath, the foods we eat, the water we drink – even the clothes we wear and the beds we sleep on – all are filled with poisons that none of us can possibly avoid. Even those who most conscientiously and meticulously attempt to live poison-free lives and eat only organically grown foods, are nevertheless subjected to many poisons. Even organically grown foods are grown in polluted air and are watered with polluted, chemicalized water. And the air, just about anywhere in the United States, is now seriously contaminated.

We can also be sure that the poisons in our environment are here to stay for a long time. Even if not a speck of new pollutants were added to our soil, air or water beginning from today, the existing pollutants would be here for decades to come, some for centuries.

Therefore, those of us who are aware of the graveness of the situation, should make an everyday effort to do everything there possibly can be done to protect us against the killing environmental poisons, which none of us can actually avoid.
