Since the onset of the 2020 pandemic, there has been a noticeable shift in how people approach their health, safety, and overall well-being. What began as a global health crisis has sparked a wave of awakening—people are questioning the very systems, standards, and products that we’ve relied on for decades. Food safety, vaccines, schooling, medicines, and even building materials have all come under increased scrutiny. More individuals are asking: Are we truly being protected? Are the things we use every day in our homes safe?
The Pandemic Sparked a Wake-Up Call
The pandemic served as a powerful reminder that we, as individuals, need to take charge of our health. With governments and industries dictating policies, the public grew more curious about the hidden dangers surrounding us—especially in the areas of food and medicine. Podcasts like Joe Rogan's, networks like Newsmax, and other independent media outlets have started openly discussing the toxins allowed in our food, water, and medicines. These conversations have shifted the narrative, revealing uncomfortable truths that were once ignored or hidden.
One voice that has gained significant traction is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His advocacy for environmental issues, public health, and corporate accountability has struck a chord with many who are increasingly distrustful of agencies meant to protect public welfare. As he steps into office this New Year, we can expect a greater push for transparency and changes in policies that govern everything from food to medicine to the environment.
The Link Between Toxicity and Health
This awakening has also led to a dramatic increase in health awareness. The rise in autoimmune diseases by 14% and the staggering 79.1% increase in cancer diagnoses since 1990 have many people questioning why these health conditions are on the rise. Cancer, once a distant and rare diagnosis, is now a reality for nearly everyone—whether it’s a close friend, a family member, or even yourself. It’s no longer just “one person’s story,” but a collective issue that affects families on a personal level.
What’s even more alarming is that many of the toxic materials once thought to be banned have quietly made their way back into products we use every day. Asbestos, for example, was banned in 1989 due to its link to mesothelioma, a deadly cancer. Yet, this ban was overturned just two years later. While there has been progress in limiting certain types of asbestos, it wasn’t until this very year that the Biden administration finalized a ban on chrysotile asbestos—which still doesn’t address all types of asbestos still in use today.
Are We Really Safe?
As more people wake up to the reality of toxic exposure in our everyday lives, a serious distrust in the institutions that are supposed to keep us safe has developed. Even the agencies that regulate our food, medicine, and water seem to be falling short of their promises. Toxic chemicals, including those found in building materials, continue to be allowed in our homes. Meanwhile, many other countries have already banned these materials for years. This dissonance is creating an environment where people are demanding change—starting with the very places where we spend the most time: our homes.
Building Materials and Renovation: A Hidden Danger
Much like the food we consume, the materials used in construction and renovation are fraught with toxicity. Asbestos, formaldehyde, and phthalates are just a few of the dangerous substances that continue to appear in building materials, even though many of these chemicals have been banned in other parts of the world. These materials contribute to poor indoor air quality, which can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and even cancer.
The truth is, while it is impossible to be 100% toxin-free, we can take significant steps to drastically reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals. By making more informed choices when it comes to home design, materials, and even everyday products, we can create sanctuaries of health and wellness.
