I know of several people (myself included) who suffer from various
degrees of auto-immune problems, i.e. chronic fatigue, 'leaky gut
syndrome', chronic allergies and liver damage. Coincidentally we all
noted that as children we were exposed to high levels of pesticides at
times, for example I lived near where crop-dusting was done on central
California fruit orchards; a friend used to sit on the back of the
tractor as they sprayed their family orchards, another friend had a
father who used every garden pesticide know to man on their very
manicured suburban garden and lawn.
I would like to find out if there have been actual studies of this
connection, and to find some good articles (understandable by lay
folks) that talk about this. And, if there has been a correllation
made, has there ever been a class action suit against any of the
manufacturers, or any other action, specific to this?
Bonus points for pointers to tried and true remedies/therapies for
this type of chemical poisoning . . . .
