Sue McDonald

Why She Speaks Out and What

Her Qualifications Are

There are very few of us these days who can claim to be healthy. Those of us lucky enough to have avoided cancer and heart disease (so far, anyway) are fighting other demons: depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, a growing epidemic of diabetes and weight gain, infertility, and a host of other medical nightmares. Our children are plagued with asthma, premature sexual development, obesity, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorders and other learning disabilities. WHY ARE WE NOT ASKING (AND DEMANDING TO KNOW) "WHY"?

There are very real...and very wicked...reasons why all of us have been carefully taught to focus on a cure rather than on cause. Sue McDonald is a woman who is "mission driven" to inform the public as to the necessity of examining why we are all becoming so sick versus waiting until we have no recourse but to look for a cure. All too often, the "cure" is either drugs to sit on our symptoms (while we continue to get sicker) or surgery or chemotherapy to remove our now diseased organs or decimate our immune systems (what's left of them, anyway) in an attempt to kill cancer cells.

Why are we so sick? Most of us know that diet plays a critical role in our health problems. However, the other.and equally important...part of the equation is chemicals (and this is where we are woefully uninformed). Harmful chemicals that we are deliberately being led to believe are safe are being manufactured and put into the vast majority of products on the market (products such as fragrances, cosmetics, our personal care and cleaning products, plastics, building materials, our children's toys, food packaging materials, pesticides, even our clothing and mattresses)...and a lot of these chemicals do their worst damage at extremely low, not high, levels.

By being exposed to the 90,000+ chemicals in today's environment, we are, without our consent, participating in an experiment that has gone terribly wrong. In her seminars, Sue exposes the reasons why government, the petrochemical and plastics industries, the pharmaceutical industry, the fragrance industry, the medical establishment, and even the news media all have vested interests in "keeping the lid on" the health care crisis being brought about by these chemicals...and in keeping Americans focused on a cure while having us avoid the question of cause.

Sue came by her knowledge the hard way. Like most of us, she gradually began experiencing minor health problems that she thought were "normal":  occasional headaches, joint problems, morning fatigue, allergies, difficulty sleeping, sinus infections, hot flashes, etc. Then, after renovating a 6,000 sq. ft. home in 1995, she began gaining weight, she developed memory problems and depression, her allergies worsened, the frequency of her colds and sinus infections increased, her headaches and joint problems increased in severity, she became sensitive to fragrances, and finally, at age 49, after an exposure to one household chemical too many, her adrenal glands failed and her immune system "crashed". Seemingly overnight, she became not just sensitive but wildly sensitive to almost everything imaginable:  foods, fragrances, fabric softeners, paper, plastics, mold, her pets...even electricity. Her health devastated, she ended up having to move out her home...under doctor's orders...and it was years before she was able to become functional again. The smallest exposure to chemicals she used to be able to at least tolerate to some degree, such as fragrances, plastics, car exhaust, synthetic clothing, etc., became incapacitating to her. But Sue was lucky. By being fortunate enough to have been referred to health care professionals knowledgeable about environmental illness (E.I) and by educating herself and making necessary changes to her environment, she has in large part regained her health. Today, assisted by her husband, Sue gives monthly seminars devoted to educating the public as to the importance of limiting our exposure to these chemicals in order to protect, or regain, our immune systems.

Sue was twice a guest on the Debra Duncan television show, has been a guest on numerous radio programs (including hosting KPFT radio's "Open Journal"), was a plenary speaker at the 2005 Texas Bioneers Conference, and has been named to the Citizens League of Environmental Action Now's (C.L.E.A.N's) prestigious list of "Houston Heroes".

Sue's seminars do three things:  first, they educate you as to what low levels of synthetic chemicals are doing to us and to our children; second, they teach you what to do to vastly decrease your body's exposure to these chemicals; and, third, they show you how to rid your body of these toxins.

Make time in your life for this seminar. It's important. Plan on investing a few hours to learn what will undoubtedly be some of the most important information you have ever been offered. Educate yourself...because what you don't know really can hurt you. (Reservations for this seminar are required. To R.S.V.P., call 713-937-0251).
