General Note: Dioxin causes expensive disabilities like porphyria and ADD/ADHD. Eliminate endocrine disruptors like dioxin and save $4,000/year/household on unnecessarily high Medicare and private medical insurance, disability taxes and extra income taxes to make up for taxes not paid by unnecessarily disabled people. |

Ref. 14 Symptoms, Porphyria Endocrine Disruption Many Pesticides and Chemical Warfare Agents are designed to be porphyrinogenic. We should not expose our children and adults to porphyrinogenic substances like dioxin which cause costly, disabling endocrine disrupting and gene damage. Notice how many school and social behavioral bad symptoms are in the following lists for untreated toxic conditions associated with dioxin and related chemicals. ============================ Dr.William Morton has estimated that better testing (and probable continuing damage to the US gene pool like related diabetes) has raised the porphyria rate estimated from less than 1% to as much as 5% [possibly 9%] of the population.

Consult competent professionals for application, confirmation of this information and for answers to your specific questions. Various other disclaimers and suggestions are present in various toxicology reference books, etc. Many porphyria patients develop sensitivity to formaldehyde. (This is by an indirect process by build up of endocrine disrupting chemicals and gene damaging chemicals....via porphyria system disruption resulting in suppression of the P450 detox system). Formaldehyde is found in schools, home, shopping centers.... ============================ Formaldehyde (From "Chemical Exposure and Human Health", Cynthia Wilson, McFarland & Co.
