defensive ignorance?
Has our environment become a health hazard?
Which parts of the body are affected by chemicals?
Ecological model of behaviour
Allergy or sensitivity?
Toxic or sensitivity response?
Addiction pyramid of Dr. Randolph
Clinical ecology or political economy - who benefits?
Scientific proof method

Building materials and cancer
Cancer terminology
What causes human cells to change?
Living cells and toxins
Chemicals and human threshold levels
Are toxic chemicals human carcinogens?
From mineral fibre to organic fibre
Environmental pollution and cancer
Magnetic distortion and vibrational medicine

INDOOR POLLUTION
AND SOLUTIONS
Indoor air pollution - unavoidable product
of modern technology?
A third skin building has a breathing membrane
Outgassing chemicals - formaldehyde pollution
in particle board
Baking out a building will accelerate the
outgassing of chemicals
Natural air exchange rate should be at least
once per hour
Energy conservation versus breathing
building membranes
Mechanical air conditioning versus natural
ventilation systems
Contamination from air convection heating
and cooling systems
Common features of sick buildings
Heat recovery ventilators
Indoor plants as pollution fighters
Are synthetic perfume deodorisers
possible carcinogens?
Essential oils - air purification
Positive ions and negative ions
Electro climate in home and offices
Geopathic stress and geomagnetic distortions
Radon gas and gamma radiation from earth
Cosmic and environmental radiation
High frequency pollution
Why live an unhealthy lifestyle in a healthy house?
Natural cleaners
Biological insecticides and pest repellants
Plastics and Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
Organo-chlorine - a toxic time bomb
House dust-mites, mould, mildew, hair and dander
Are pesticides toxic solutions and an expensive
short cut?
Inerts - the secret hazards of pesticides
Cigarette smoke - toxic consumer product and
environmental hazard

change of environment
