Environmental Health: Seeds of Change

We live in an increasingly toxic world, where tons of chemicals are spewed into our air, water and onto our earth every day. Serious health effects arise from this contamination.

While links have been made to certain diseases caused by pollution, controversy still surrounds a disabling illness that has severe symptoms upon exposure to commonly used chemicals and certain environments.

We must act now in a responsible manner to turn the tide with prevention, recognition, support and care for the casualties of contamination.

Come and learn what it means to live a healthy lifestyle, the first line of defense against disease and aging and the most fundamental step towards preventing Environmental Sensitivities.
