Toxins in your Environment
Even if you live in the country, you are probably breathing polluted air.
From campfires to jet engine exhaust, the obvious polluter - automobile exhaust
fumes - there are cigarette smoke and chemicals emitted by industry - as well as
ozone.. (Ozone is a form of oxygen that is a bluish irritating gas of pungent
odor and it is a major agent in the formation of smog.) Many pollutants can be
airborne over long distances, and all can enter your system.
Smog contains a long lineup of chemical nasties, including ozone, nitrogen
dioxide, sulfur dioxide and tiny particles of everything from asbestos to soot,
that can settle deep in the lungs and cause general havoc.
You should be especially aware of this fact if you work outdoors in a large
city. You may be exposing yourself to more than one ton of pollutants -
including heavy metals, carbon monoxide, and ozone - every year.
A high concentration of or long exposure to any one of these chemicals can cause
shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, bronchitis, pneumonia, headaches,
inability to concentrate, chest pain and, in some cases, lung cancer. Breathing
polluted air changes the way that the lung cells do business.
Smog can make the lung cells vulnerable to attack by bacteria and viruses. Smog
can kill cells, making the lungs less efficient at doing their job of gas
exchange (absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide).
Many of the harmful interactions between the noxious substances in smog and lung
cells happened during the chemical process known as oxidation. During oxidation,
free radicals, which are unstable molecules of harmful chemicals, snatch
electrons from the healthy molecules that compose the cells in order to balance
themselves. This starts a chain reaction of electron stealing. The end result is
serious damage to cells.
The hormone system is very sensitive to environmental chemicals. These contaminates can mimic hormones. The body gets confused and the artificial "hormone" connects to the cell receptors. When the cell receptors are full up with these false hormones, the real hormone cannot find a place to connect to the cell (sort of like trying to find a parking space in NYC). As time goes by, these receptor get full. The glands don't have a place to send their hormones to and the body can weaken. One of the main symptoms of this is accumulation of fat as the cells cannot burn it anymore. This is not only when you get older as younger people exposed to these environment toxicity develop the same problems Weight gain is a symptom of a physical problem. It is not the problem. Finding the correct problem can be found in these pollutants.
There are such things as Endocrine disruptors. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is doing research on this. And endocrine disruptor is and environmental poison that mimics, blocks or otherwise disrupts the normal function of hormones. These disruptors are pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastics, solvents, heavy metals, The EPA found that 90-95% of all pesticide residues are found in meat and dairy products.

Your Thyroid & Bromide
If you are like most people, you probably haven’t spent much time thinking about how much bromine you’re absorbing from your car upholstery or your Mountain Dew. But bromine toxicity is a definite danger from some surprising sources, and it can wreak havoc on your health.

"I work outdoors in extreme heat in the summertime, selling. Within 15 minutes, the sun has leached out all my vitality. All I have to do to regain that vitality is spritz Kool-Off on my face. This products is such a blessing since I rely on it to continue producing an income. Thank you. - SA
"I work in weather that is routinely over 100 degrees everyday. Sometimes it goes up to 115. This weather starts in May and goes all the way through October every year. Due to my job, I am in and out of my car all day long, day in and day out. Until I got this spray, I was continually battling headaches, nausea and fatigue. I'd come home and collapse. I now use Kool-Off everyday, and whenever needed. I no longer experience any of the effects of salt and potassium depletion. I have energy all the time. I love this product and recommend it to everyone." - PH.
I just wanted to tell you haw miraculous "Kool-Off" has been for me. For several years now, I have tried to stay inside in air conditioning because I have not been able to successfully handle my body during hot weather. I had tried the usual remedies and sport drinks, but just could not handle hot weather. Well, believe it or not, I am now working outside in the summer! I use the spray whenever I feel like I'm getting too hot or weak from the heat and I can continue with what I am doing! Of course, sometimes, I just need to cool the body down for a few minutes, but I can now just operate outdoors without the worry of being totally weakened by the hot weather or suddenly needing a nap! This is such a welcome and, I must say, refreshing change! Thank you so much for "Kool-Off", it has made a huge difference for me." - JD
