  The Quantum Biofeedback System is the culmination of 20 years of research in measuring
  the bio-energetics of the human body. Comprised of 55 high speed frequency channels
  and the largest medical software program in the world, the Quantum Biofeedback System
  provides the most comprehensive and accurate energetic analysis of the human body
  available on the market today.
  
  The Quantum Biofeedback System detects abnormal frequencies to determine what
  imbalances are most affecting the health. The information is then distributed to over two
  hundred therapy programs where the device feeds back appropriate healing frequencies
  to neutralize destructive wave patterns. Besides addressing health problems, the
  Quantum Biofeedback System can be used for prevention by detecting imbalances in the
  energetic field before they materialize physically.
  
  In less than five minutes, over 10,000 parameters of health are tested. The scan provides
  an analysis of:
  
  • Nutritional Deficiencies
    
  • Toxins, Fungi and Parasites
    
  • Mental/Emotional Blockages
    
  • Allergy and Food Sensitivities
    
  • Brain Wave Patterns
    
  • Hormone Imbalances

  Benzene
  Benzene is found in a wide variety of products, including detergents, plastics, dyes, drugs,
  flavors and fragrances, not to mention, tobacco smoke. But, why is attention given only to benzene
  in tobacco smoke and yet not word one about how it is commonly used as an ingredient in
  flvaors and fragrances -- products that one comes in contact with daily? Whether one is a primary
  user or not. When will the legal profession start seeing fragrance injury and hate crimes for
  what they are? Chemical assaults with a deadly weapon. -- barb

      "Food producers increasingly rely on synthetic flavors
      and food dyes, some of which are proven toxins. For
      example: "Blue number two," used in beverages, candy
      and pet food causes brain tumors in male mice.
      "Red number three," used in baked goods, candy, and
      maraschino cherries, has caused thyroid tumors in rats.
      While petroleum-based artificial flavorings are generally
      safe, their manufacture often leads to potential
      exposures. For example, the production of Vanillin -
      artificial vanilla flavor - requires benzene."

        • Readers Feedback -- letter by Betty Bridges
          August 22, 2000
          Dear Editor:
          I would like to comment on the story "Less Respiratory Impact From Fragrances"
          which appeared in the August 2000 issue.
          
          The study at Tulane University did not address several important aspects of asthma.
          Asthma has several components.
          
          Bronchoconstriction, which was addressed by the Tulane study, only addresses this
          aspect of asthmatic responses to fragrances, and simple spirometry does not always
          accurately reflect the constriction of small airways. When the constriction occurs in the
          smaller airways rather than the larger ones, spirometry readings may only drop slightly.
          Constriction of smaller airways requires more extensive testing to pinpoint. Further,
          the exposures were very short, only 20 minutes and there were measurable
          constrictions of the airways. What happens if the exposure continues all day, which
          are what most asthmatics encounter? Nor did the study take into account that there is
          usually exposure to numerous fragranced products. The study did not address at all the
          underlying inflammatory process, which is considered by pulmonary experts of
          great concern. It is this underlying inflammation that makes the airways more susceptible
          to the effects of fragrances and other irritants. And, irritants, such as fragrances,
          increase the inflammation. ...

            April 2, 2001
            Dear Editor:
            Recent unwanted exposures to synthetic fragrances reminded me of an article in
            INVIRONMENT, August 2000, "Less Respiratory Impact From Fragrances." Tulane's
            testing does not reflect reality. Had I been exposed to a synthetic scent in an
            inhalation chamber for only 20 minutes and then had the luxury of having the
            chamber "flushed"
            with filtered air, I know I would not have acquired Multiple
            Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). ...

      "Air pollution thickens the blood and increases the likelihood of inflammation, according

    Being Beautiful
    1986 . . . With foreword by Ralph Nader
    "What you need to know about cosmetics, allergies, no-frills cosmetics, and 'natural
    alternatives'. Also, information about harmful ingredients that you should avoid."
    
    This book is a compilation of information gathered up to press time in 1986, and
    includes excerpts from the 1978 General Accounting Office's official study on
    inadequate federal regulation of cosmetic safety. This section includes "a list of one
    hundred twenty-five (125) cosmetic chemicals that are believed to cause cancer."
    
    A couple of other comments by Ralph Nader in the Foreword:
    
    "Due to some adroit lobbying years ago by the cosmetic industry,
    the FDA has to beg for safety, rather than demand it."
    
    "Even with what authority is granted -- to require labeling, ban hazardous ingredients
    and seize dangerous or contaminated products -- the FDA is too bereft of will and too
    underfunded to perform its duties effectively."

      In the area of toxic tort litigation, this is a significant reference tool and is strongly
      recommended as a "must have" for your library. Written by a Chicago neuropsychologist
      who is a nationally-known clinical expert on human toxic exposure effects,
      Neuropsychological Toxicology is "the" comprehensive reference for attorneys,
      neuropsychologists, physicians, toxicologists and advocates who need information
      about diagnosing the effects of toxic brain injury.
      
      If Dr. Hartman's groundbreaking book can be summarized in three points it is that (1)
      many workplace chemicals and commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals cause brain injury
      and nervous system damage (2) millions of adults and children are exposed to these
      substances at work or at home and (3) the resulting "neurotoxic" damage is a special
      clinical problem that requires a specialized approach in both diagnosis and litigation. ..."

    • Generations at Risk
      How Environmental Toxins May Effect Reproductive Health in Massachusetts
      A Report by Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility (GBPSR)Ýand theÝ
      Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) Education Fund; 1996
      http://www.igc.org/psr/gar-rpt.htm
      
      Principal Authors:
      Ted Schettler, MD, MPH
      Gina Solomon, MD, MPH
      Paul Burns, JD
      Maria Valenti
      Executive Summary
      
      Major findings of the report include:
      
      1. Of the more than 70,000 synthetic chemicals in commercial use today, only a small fraction have
         been adequately examined for toxic effects in humans and other life forms;
         
      2. Despite limited scientific information, there is solid evidence of the reproductive toxicity of some
         substances in widespread commercial use including solvents, metals, and pesticides; newly-
         emerging evidence of the toxicity of others; and important new information about a mechanism of
         toxicity known but largely ignored for many years -- hormone (endocrine) disruption;
         
      3. Federal and state regulations are frequently not written or implemented in ways protective of
         human health and the environment;
         
      4. Of industries required to report chemical use, Massachusetts businesses used more than 2.1
         billion pounds of toxic chemicals associated with reproductive or developmental disorders from
         1990-1994;
      5. Right-to-know legislation like the federal Toxics Release Inventory and the Massachusetts
         Toxics Use Reduction Act provide the public with essential information which is rightfully theirs
         about toxins to which they may be exposed. However, information gaps show that these laws do
         not go far enough. Since these laws were implemented, there has been a reduction in the
         environmental release of known and suspected reproductive toxins in Massachusetts;
         
      6. In order to protect the public from exposure to known and suspected reproductive toxins, a
         precautionary and collaborative approach must be used by government, industry, the medical and
         scientific communities, advocacy groups, and private citizens.
