Our Environment, Our Health, Our Future
As residents of this planet, our role as caretakers of the environment
is crucial. As we damage the environment with pollutants, we risk
the destruction of not only our natural resources but also of our
personal
health. Dangerous toxins carelessly deposited and introduced into
our environment affect everything we come in contact with and enjoy —
our food, our clothes, our homes, or work-places, and our recreational
spaces.
A History of Progress
The American Environmental Health Foundation (AEHF), a nonprofit
organization,
was founded in 1975 in Dallas, Texas by William J. Rea, M.D., of the
Environmental
Health Center-Dallas. Our goals are as follows:
* to fund and conduct medical research in the environmental aspects of health and disease; in meeting this goal, we have funded over 30 major medical research projects.
* to provide information on environmental medicine to physicians, patients, and the general public; we answer daily inquires from interested individuals from all fields, helping them minimize toxic environmental exposures and maintain optimal health.
* to provide patients and the public with access to environmentally safe products; through this internet site, a catalogue and store in Dallas, we make available both publications on environmentally triggered diseases and products designed especially for the chemically sensitive individual.
* to support the education and training of physicians, students, and research scientists; we host The International Symposium in man and His Environment in Health and Disease, an annual medical symposium held in Dallas, Texas. This symposium is supported internationally by environmentally – conscious physicians, allied health professionals, scientist, and individuals alike. It enables reporting and discussion of new findings and research, many of which are considered breakthrough medical discoveries.
