At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Unexplained Illnesses

People are suffering from a range of chronic illnesses which are poorly understood and for which there is currently very limited healthcare available. These conditions are grouped under the title of 'Environmental Illnesses'.

Many illnesses may been linked to environmental pollution from industry, including autism, attention deficit disorder, sudden infant death syndrome, cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple sclerosis, multiple chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even behavioral disorders. These conditions are being seen more and more in our society, particularly among young children.

The researchers at the University of South Florida, states, "many of the substances to which humans are being exposed are relatively new to the environment, i.e., the products of a sophisticated industrial development. As a result humans are exposed to volatile organic compounds not previously present in our environment in significant amounts" and the effects of these VOC's on the human body has not been thoroughly studied.
