My discovery came to me by accidentally removing an asbestos

stuff in my house. The resulting condition of the entire house.

after this accident it left me with chest pain, dry skin and eyes and unbearable itching. My wife complained of extreme thirst and my eldest son, 14, developed severe asthma. This

it all went on for five to six months. During this time I tried

desperately to determine if we were living in an unsafe level of asbestos. The material he had removed was tested and found to be

contain 20% crystalline asbestos. The air sampling turned out to be unreliable because the area had been so well ventilated. But the furniture, carpets, walls and all other personal belongings

demolition debris was covered, everyone wanted to downplay the gravity of the situation, but for me, it was

obviously not a healthy environment.

So, I set out to try to logically deduce, with a knowledge of the physical properties of asbestos, when I found the substance while trying to clean every surface and item in every room in the house.

That was fifteen years ago. During that time, as I learned

more about where we all find asbestos materials on a daily basis. I made mental notes about my reactions and those of others.

to these meetings. Many situations have arisen ranging from

sore throats and skin conditions (acne and basil cell skin cancer) to asthma, pneumonia and death. I don’t have a clinic

proof of these claims I’ve made, except to say “if it looks, walks, and sounds like a duck, it’s probably a duck.” Many times clinical trials are verified producing the same results in subsequent tests. Deductive reasoning can also be verified

in the same way. If the same results are seen over and over again after low-level exposure to these debris, then that’s

test for me.

Without writing a book, I wouldn’t have space to detail every observation I made during this period, but I can assure you that no contact with asbestos is without potential adverse health consequences.

Asbestos is a very light crystalline material with highly static electrical properties. Often produces a static

shock as when one receives an electric shock by touching the metal plate of the switch or the doorknob of his house. It often leaves a bitter-salty taste in the mouth. It can stay airborne for days at a time. It absorbs moisture and produces a very dry environment (which only makes the static electricity situation worse).

Loose material can accidentally come into contact in several

Types of buildings and situations.

Many buildings built before 1977 have asbestos vinyl tile. No one can avoid walking on this, if you enter the building. This is fine if the floor is well maintained. Keep an eye out for tiles that are cracked or worn and never waxed. This applies to any

Location in the building, commercial or residential. The cabinets are

very rarely waxed. Items stored there will accumulate certain

amounts of this substance.

Every time an old building is renovated, there is a chance

for a number of asbestos-containing materials found.

The contractor doesn’t always do the right thing. In many cases, it is cheaper to pay the fine if you are caught. So he just rips it off and throws it in the dump or takes it to the dump himself. As a consequence, many recently renovated stores

have a certain amount of this powder on the shelves and new merchandise in the store.

There are many more contact cases that I don’t have time to detail here, but basically, with the characteristics of the material, knowledge of where you can find the substance, and many hours of observation (I’ve been in construction over thirty years), you you can also do the same

deductive conclusions that I have made.

In later articles I intend to go into detail about the unique physical properties of asbestos and how this promotes detection on hair and clothing. In future articles I’d also like to expand on the many other health effects I’ve noticed, such as acne, which could benefit many young adults and many people who continue this skin problem into adulthood.
