FOR RESCUE WORKERS

A large population of people suffering from the effects of toxic-build up is rescue workers. (Fire Fighters in particular) The significance of this problem was brought about after the attacks on 9/11. In the months following the tragedy, rescue workers noticed that their health had declined significantly. Among the symptoms reported were unrelenting fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, headache, skin rashes, joint pain, weight gain, inability to sleep, memory loss and extreme irritability. It was found that they had been exposed to unprecedented levels of toxins. The collapse of the World Trade Center Towers brought with it an unrelenting dust storm of pulverized concrete, steel, asbestos, carpeting, office equipment and other matter. The toxic particles were among the smallest ever seen. So small as a matter of fact that normal body defenses were useless. Thus the Sauna-Pure Program was implemented in the name of “The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project” for the rescue workers that were affected after 9/11."

Those who served in the aftermath of the World Trade Center Attacks are not the only civil servants that have been affected by harmful toxins. Rescue workers from all over the country have reported many of the same health issues and it is evident that they are a direct result of their line of work.
