The latter were produced mainly for our pleasure and convenience which over time in mere decades have degraded into minute entities. These enter our body through our drinking water and adding to the damage done to our body by our ingestible drugs and additives (plus the new microplastics). One thing most of us overlook is that these inherently toxic synthetic drugs and additives made from toxic petroleum don’t show their toxic effects in a day or two, or even a month.
Unlike our traditional medicines that are time-tested for years, centuries, or millennia, synthetics show their ugly face in decades, shortening our lives or making us barely able to walk or think clearly even in our fifties or sixties.
Now the vicious cycle (VC) that I have been describing all these years is not just caused by ingestible synthetic drugs and additives but also by these pollutants in our environment due to degrading synthetics. So far, except for some very minor attention starting to pay to these pollutants, the whole field of synthetics is still flourishing and unstoppable. I have no idea whether any of our world nations are doing anything about them. Regardless, whatever they do, in my opinion, is not enough to slow down any of these synthetics, either edible or inedible. As world citizens, we have to do our part to make our fellow humans safer and healthier. I have been trying to bypass at least some of the synthetics, but I haven’t found a computer/business partner. The ones I have bumped into so far are money chasers with whom I have nothing in common. So, I will keep on writing! Because I am a perpetual optimist…
