I'm going to post here, move or whatever, soory but I couldn't log in to voice my thoughts on the lastest posting at health rising Cort! anyways I sure wanted to give my cents worth WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING? I am sick with ME/CFS because of environmental exposures! and environmental exposures continue to keep me sick! what part of global warming does this not matter! chances are many of you if not all with triggers are suffering in part by your disease because of our toxic environment! for me it was what put me here and caused the damage and continuing damage and keeps me here! I'm just blown away that that is not the number one thing on everybodies mind right now, blown away!

I think that envioromental toxicity is a big big deal. I think molds, interaction of man made chemicals and their interaction with the natural world. I think emf's are in play . Maybe not alone but with everything else. I went into a temporary remission in Tecopa Ca , near Death Valley. Came back to NJ. Took a month welcome back to cfs. I just want to get the hell out of here. I am seeing an integrative doctor that is helping so I can stand it here for a few more years. I am turning off the internet at night and everyone is on chorella and prescript - assist probiotic.
My son has Aspergers. This summer we are going on an extended camping trip.

The cost of a polluted environment: 1.7 million child deaths a year, says WHO
News release
6 March 2017 | GENEVA - More than 1 in 4 deaths of children under 5 years of age are attributable to unhealthy environments. Every year, environmental risks – such as indoor and outdoor air pollution, second-hand smoke, unsafe water, lack of sanitation, and inadequate hygiene – take the lives of 1.7 million children under 5 years, say two new WHO reports.
