It has been proven that chemicals have a direct effect upon the brain whether during pregnancy, childhood or in adults. Chemicals such as pesticides, cleaning/disinfectant products, building materials, vaccine preservatives, perfumes, air fresheners, fragranced products, mold are most likely causing harm to your health and/or to the health of those around you.

"The brain is not the only organ of the body negatively affected by various exogenous toxins in our environment." - NTEF From the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke a division of the National Institutes of Health: "Encephalopathy is a term for any diffuse disease of the brain that alters brain function or structure. Encephalopathy may be caused by infectious agent (bacteria, virus, or prion), metabolic or mitochondrial dysfunction, brain tumor or increased pressure in the skull, prolonged exposure to toxic elements (including solvents, drugs, radiation, paints, industrial chemicals, and certain metals), chronic progressive trauma,oor nutrition, or lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain." Chemical Injury, ADD/ADHD, Lyme, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Gulf War Syndrome, Fibroymalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autism, all have some degree of interaction upon the brain. Chemicals are pervasive in our environment. Whether we ingest, inhale or apply them, chemicals affect both humans and the environment. Only through knowledge we will be able to make more informed decisions regarding our health and the health of others. The vast array of chemicals, building materials, carpets, colognes, perfumes, air fresheners, scented candles, potpourri, pesticides, cleaning and laundry products negatively affects an increasing segment of the population on a daily basis. Children are being injured by pesticides, cleaning and building materials in schools, manifesting itself in diagnosis such as ADD/ADHD. Childhood asthma is on the rise and exacerbated by these pervasive volatile organic compounds in schools, which should be a safe learning environment. Access to schools, medical facilities, lodging, recreation venues, special events, social functions, and government meetings is severely limited or non-existent for people who are adversely affected by chemicals. Therefore, the NTEF has elected to provide coverage of a wide variety of information on environmental issues, not just the more obvious ones that have a major impact upon the brain.

What is neuro-toxicity? From the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke a division of the National Institutes of Health: "Neurotoxicity occurs when the exposure to natural or manmade toxic substances (neurotoxicants) alters the normal activity of the nervous system. This can eventually disrupt or even kill neurons, key cells that transmit and process signals in the brain and other parts of the nervous system. Neurotoxicity can result from exposure to substances used in chemotherapy, radiation treatment, drug therapies, and organ transplants, as well as exposure to heavy metals such as lead and mercury, certain foods and food additives, pesticides, industrial and/or cleaning solvents, cosmetics, and some naturally occurring substances. Symptoms may appear immediately after exposure or be delayed. They may include limb weakness or numbness; loss of memory, vision, and/or intellect; headache; cognitive and behavioral problems; and sexual dysfunction. Individuals with certain disorders may be especially vulnerable to neurotoxicants." Neurological related articles, everything that has either a direct or indirect effect upon the brain.
