Chemicals are Affecting Fertility and Pregnancies

Kids are vulnerable

Infertility rates are rising.

Pregnancies are complicated.

Kids are sickly with asthma, eczema,

diagnosed with autism and ADHD too.

Let’s not act like we don’t know the reason.

The culprit is 'inflammation'.

Endless chemicals are being pumped

into our food, water, and air.

We are humans — electrochemical entities.

Our hormones operate in delicate harmony,

doing their job with precision.

But if we tamper with that balance,

health will sure break down.

The chemicals are hormone mimics.

Of course the immune system

is under constant stress.

Mother’s body turning acidic, poison.

How can a child come out healthy

when an inflammatory storm is raging?

Think — and set your priorities.

Are the sunscreen, perfume,

room fresheners, preservatives,

and pesticides really essential?

Or are they just gullibility and hypocrisy

to be banned as potentially-lethal?

Let's minimize chemical exposure.

Let mothers and children thrive —

as they were meant to.
