At my first reaction, I was extremely shocked to see how harsh these chemicals are in a child's body. The video was very informative and should be viewed by everyone for their own knowledge.
Once I reviewed the hypothetical lab results, I was a little scared on what the potential dangers can be of each. Seeing how phthalates could cause so many complications such as infertility, testicular damage, and endocrine complications is a very serious risk. These complications have the ability to almost ruin someone's entire life. It would be nice to see in this chart some ways how to prevent these chemical imbalances. Something that all of these chemicals have in common is harm to the liver.
As a patient, I would almost feel hopeless. Hopeless that there are so many complications targeting such different parts of the body. This can be requiring a patient on many medications and treatments for a long time. I would hope that now medical technology has an easier way of helping patients with chemical complications.
I agree with you...I feel hopeless. I feel like these harmful chemical can potentially be in so many products and we aren't aware as consumers. I also feel hopeless that since this issue isn't brought up and addressed as much as it should be that there won't be the necessary changes that need to happen to keep people healthy. It would be good if we can utilize the new medical technology that we have access to in order to help patients with chemical complications. I feel it could be a good underused resource.
