THE DANGER

Pesticides, household cleaners, food dyes, and plastic food containers that contain known carcinogens are prevalent throughout the world; from the soil our foods are grown in, to the water we drink and bathe in; these toxins play a key role in the increasing rates of chronic illness, disease, and disability.  Infants are literally born “toxic” due to these carcinogens.  Of the 87,000 chemicals children are exposed to regularly, only 413 have ever been tested for safety, and OVER HALF of the 5,000 chemicals and preservatives used in everyday foods are known to CAUSE cancer.  Over 90% of all cancers are caused by environmental factors; fewer than 10% are genetic. The fact that over 90% of the average American’s diet consists of processed foods is causing grievous harm, with infants and children especially vulnerable.  Due to the environmental impact on illness, disease, and disability, predominantly coming from air, water, and food, these rates are growing exponentially; making this current generation the first to outlive their children.

THE REALIZATION

We are amidst an unprecedented opportunity rarely seen.  Billions of people are affected by environmental toxins, with pieces of information slowly disseminating.  People are in need of answers, advice, coaching, and information from a reliable resource to guide, instruct, and empower them.  We must face the difficult realization that our environment is causing chronic health issues for all age groups on all continents; complicated by a lack of trusted information people have access to and understand.

THE FOCUS

Determining which environmental factors pose the greatest health risk, and  teaching communities simple ways to reduce exposures in air, water, food, soil, and radiation emitting devices, is a vital part of Educate A Cure’s deep commitment to global health progress. Through collaborative efforts, Educate A Cure helps identify specific environmental toxins that threaten the health of communities, and through simple, targeted education; prevent exposures.  Our focus is prevention, not just treatment.   Prevention is the key to reducing the rate of death by illness and disease.
