About UsArticlesContact

 

 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. 

"Homeostasis can not be maintained by the chronic and intentional assault of toxic chemicals found in our environment that elicit their effects upon the brain." -NTEF              "Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done."  - Amelia Earhart

 

"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."

How Can You Help?

Small lifestyle changes to eliminate fragrant and non toxic products can aid others who are chemically sensitive. Chemical injury can strike anyone at any time, no one is immune.

What you do can make a difference to not only your health, but, the health of those around you and our environment. Just by eliminating fragranced products made with synthetic ingredients and not thoroughly tested for safety, you can protect yourself and others from a myriad of health related issues attributed to fragranced products. Be an informed consumer and purchase safe, non toxic alternatives for all your personal care, home care and beauty needs.

Beauty should not be harmful to anyone -NTEF

Just say no to fragranced toxins!
