Teflon

Hi,
I need some help to get less sensitive to electronics. We got a space heater (Aloha Breeze) and it was on for 10 seconds. My throat feels like it is closing, my eyes burn, I started coughing. It is like a choke hold on me. Any suggestions? I have the same problem with teflon coated pans. I have to put my Nesco outside to use it. I tried turning the heat up to max and let it burn for a couple of days outside, but I still get the same horrible reaction from it. Same goes for all that stuff. What have you found that keeps you from having such bad reactions. I cannot venture into a Radio Shack store or I get deathly ill.


Hi,
what you are reacting to is the Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDEs)or Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBP-A) used as flame retardants in plastic electronic housings like TVs, PCs, heaters etc.

On the non-stick pans you are reacting to the toxic fumes produced by heating the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which constitutes the non-stick coating. These fumes are highly toxic, contain 6 toxins, including 2 suspected carcinogens and are known to kill pet birds in the vicinity when the pans are even slightly overheated.

We live in a chemical World and the problem is, less than 10% of chemicals in everyday use have ever been properly tested for human toxicity. Even the so-called 'tested' chemicals are suspect. For example a compound toxic by inhalation was tested by feeding it to chickens in their diet.


No wonder! That makes sense. But, how come everyone in my household doesn't react this way to these toxic chemicals? I must be extra sensitive while others are not. Now, I'll have to wear a face mask whenever I cook with my teflon pans or use the space heater or any electronics. Actually, I have replaced most of my teflon with stainless. I do miss the non-stick feature when cooking eggs. Every once in a while I try to use the teflon, but get the same horrible reactions.

A friend wants me to try Far Infared sauna. He says it will help me to de-sensitize. I wonder if it really will. Is there a way to get these toxins out of my body?


The reason you and no one else reacts to these chemicals is because you have exceeded your toxic threshold. TT is a function of
- existing body load
- diet
- genetic detoxification ability
- gut flora status
- nutritional status
- immune status
- exposure mechanism

If you happen to be the one who spends most time slaving over the non-stick pans then you will be the first to develop a more extreme sensitivity

Far Infrared Sauna is a very good way to detoxify, as long as you provide your body with the right combination of supplements to cope with all the toxins the Sauna will mobilize


Hi,

You said: "Far Infrared Sauna is a very good way to detoxify, as long as you provide your body with the right combination of supplements to cope with all the toxins the Sauna will mobilize"

What supplements are you talking about?

Thanks,


One more thing. We are putting the space heater in the basement to run and try to get the new plastic smell out. Will this just pollute the air the furnace uses and then distribute it throughout the house?
