It’s impossible to avoid all of these toxins, but we can understand what we are up against so we can minimize our exposure to these toxins when possible and take the steps to heal and cleanse our bodies of the rest. Knowing what we are up against is a critical step to being empowered to heal and support and bodies with what they need. If we turn a blind eye, we can cheat ourselves of the opportunity to heal and even prevent future sickness.
Petrochemicals include:
- Carpet chemicals
- Chemical solvents, solutions, and agents
- Diesel
- Dioxins
- Engine oil and grease
- Exhaust fumes
- Gas grills, stoves, and ovens
- Gasoline
- Kerosene
- Lacquer
- Lighter fluid
- Paint
- Paint thinner
- Plastics
Exhaust fumes: Exposure comes from walking down the street, grabbing a package at a delivery person’s truck while the truck is still running, getting stuck in traffic on your way to work, passing a lawn that’s being mowed or mowing your own, walking up to a restaurant for lunch just as someone fires up a car a few feet away, and so on. Although carbon monoxide is deadly if someone is poisoned by it when there isn’t enough ventilation for exhaust fumes, it’s not the poison in the liver. The petrochemical particles in the exhaust itself are what end up in the liver.
Dioxins: Imagine a world coated with a dust too fine to see that’s inhaled and eaten by every creature on the planet. That’s our world, and dioxins are the “dust.” These pollutants, a byproduct of over 100 years of chemical factory malfeasance, find their way into air, water, and food. Modern life is generalized dioxin exposure.
Carpet chemicals: These include the chemicals used to treat new carpets during manufacture, the chemicals released from old carpets when they’re cleaned, and the carpet cleaning chemicals themselves. We inhale carpet chemicals and also get them on our skin and clothes when we sit on carpets or walk on them in bare feet.
New research by Compare the Market Australia looked at fuel and electricity price data for 50 different countries around the globe and compared them to find out who has the best deal when it comes to charging their new EV.
The study ranked South Africa as the 18th cheapest nation (out of 50) to charge an electric vehicle overall, with every 100km of driving costing just $1.94 (R36.71) worth of electricity.
In contrast, a comparable petrol vehicle was estimated to cost $8.09 worth of petrol over the same distance. This means that EV drivers could save approximately 76% of their fuel bill per kilometre by driving an EV in South Africa.
The study also found that the most expensive countries were Denmark and Italy (tied for most expensive), Germany, Belgium, Lithuania and Austria (tied for fourth most expensive), and the Netherlands. In contrast, the cheapest nations were Argentina, Malaysia, India, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
Denmark and Italy cost EV drivers only $7.49 (R141.73) in electricity for every 100km they drive, compared to $12.55 (R237.47) of petrol per 100km in Denmark and $10.35 (R195.84) in Italy.
In contrast, EVs in Argentina only cost $0.46 (R8.68) per 100km, while petrol vehicles in the South American nation cost $6.24 (R117.68) worth of fuel for 100km of driving.

Overall, of the nations looked at, Europe tended to be a more expensive region to charge an electric vehicle, while Asia was generally cheaper.
On average, across all nations studied, EVs cost $3.23 (R61.12) to charge for every 100km driven, while a petrol equivalent would cost a driver $9.18 (R173.71) per 100km. This means, on average, an EV is only about one-third the cost to refuel an equivalent petrol vehicle.

Electric cars vs petrol cars: pollution
In the battle of electric cars vs petrol cars, emissions are obviously a huge factor to take into consideration, since 20 per cent of all CO2 emissions globally originate from road traffic. Fossil-fuel-devouring combustion engines create 1.2 to 1.6 times more CO2 than battery-powered electric cars, with EVs leaving a far less harmful carbon footprint.
CO2 Footprint:
- Petrol, 1 litre of fuel used produces 2,3kg of CO2
- Diesel, 1 litre of diesel used produces 2,65 kg of CO2
- Coal powered electricity for EV's emits 35% less CO2 per km travelled.
- Solar power electricity = Zero CO2. Install your Solar panels at home for a green recharge for your vehicle
- Green Hydrogen emits Zero CO2's and is costs less per km than EV cars and the recharged / refill is much faster (40min. vs 4min.)
Planting Trees to Absorb CO2
A tree absorbs anywhere between 10 and 40kg of CO2 per year on average, depending on a whole host of factors. And it’s all those complex variables that make working out how much CO2 a tree absorbs so interesting.
Now let’s work out how much CO2 a tree absorbs
To do it, let’s use an example. We’ll imagine a 1000kg tree with 100% humidity. Now we know this tree is 500kg water and 500kg dry mass. And we know that 47.5% of that dry mass is carbon. That’s 237.5kg.
Thanks to molar mass ratios, we can break CO2 down and find that it takes 3.67kg of CO2 to create 1kg of carbon in the tree. That’s because carbon has a molar mass of 12 and oxygen 16. Combined as CO2 that’s 44. And 44/12 = 3.67.
So for our tree example, 237.5 × 3.67 = 871.63kg of CO2. Hooray! If we want to know how much it’s absorbed per year, we need to know the age. If it weighs a ton standing, we can guess it’s 30 to 40 years old. So if we assume it's 35 years old, this big boy absorbed 25kg of CO2 per year.
So for every 10 litres of fuel used in an internal combustion vehicle, it takes 1 tree a year to ofset that CO2's emited from using 10 litres of fuel to travel averange 100 km.

Nearly everything toxic can end up at some point in time crossing the Blood Brain Barrier. Virtually every man-made toxin and poison on this planet can cross through the barrier, the sacred wall that mysteriously sits in our head. You go to the gas station, you start pumping gas into your tank and breathing in fumes, those fumes cross the Blood Brain Barrier. Or as you are driving an EV and are sitting on a very large battery and breathing in vapors that outgas off of car batteries, even if the battery is located in a different area of the car, small amounts of outgas occur over time and cross the Blood Brain Barrier. Everyday we get exposed from hundreds and hundreds of toxins. We get exposed to Pharmaceuticals, Toxic Heavy Metals, Pathogens, Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Solvents, Petrochemicals, Fragrances, Chemtrails and so much more, and as these exposures enter our bodies, they find a way to our brain by crossing the Blood Brain Barrier. We are led to believe it’s very hard for any substance to cross the Blood Brain Barrier. We are told only certain pharmaceuticals can achieve crossing over the barrier purposely designed this way for our health, but it’s so much more than what we are told. Healer Omar Botha
