Your Body, Your Planet

Environmental medicine is a multidisciplinary field involving medicine, environmental science, chemistry, and others, overlapping with environmental pathology. It may be viewed as the medical branch of the broader field of environmental health.

The scope of this field involves studying the interactions between the environment and human health, and the role of the environment in causing or mediating disease. As a specialist field of study, it is looked upon with mixed feelings by physicians and politicians alike, for the basic assumption is that health is more widely and dramatically affected by environmental toxins than previously recognized.

Environmental toxicity has been recognized to play a role in auto-immune disease, cancer, and even heart disease. It was once thought that genes were our fate in terms of our health. Many people think that because their parents had certain conditions they will too.

While there is some truth to that, the real truth is that even 90% of cancers are considered environmental according to the World Research and Cancer Foundation. Understanding environmental harm to your health is imperative to live on planet earth.

Take care of your health and learn how to survive in today’s toxic world.
