In order to understand this newly emerging world of nanotechnology, we need to get an idea of the units of measure involved, as well as some of its most redeeming properties.
Indeed, size matters!
A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. It is smaller than the wavelength of visible light. It is a hundred-thousandth the width of a human hair.
When you add this incredibly small size with strength and durability you get nano-particles/nano-materials that are one of the fast growing industries in the world.
Nanotechnology for the delivery of a 'payload' can be applied in medicines, foods, micro electronics, DNA mapping, and pesticides. Because of this, it would seem imperative to have manufacturing safety regulations in place.
Unfortunately, nano-particles are subject to any special regulation regarding production, handling or labeling.
A branch called Nanotoxicology pays attention to this topic.
For many types of particles, the smaller they are, the greater their surface area to volume ratio. They also have a higher chemical reactivity and biological activity.
The greater chemical reactivity of nanomaterials can result in increased production of free radicals.
ROS and free radical production is one of the primary mechanisms of nanoparticle toxicity; it may result in oxidative stress, inflammation, and consequent damage to proteins, membranes and DNA. ROS production has been found in a diverse range of nanomaterials including carbon fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticle metal oxides.
What does this mean in summary?
When something causes ROS production inside our cell tissues, it can easily lead to cell mutation and even cellular death.
Due to the nano-size of these particles we have to be careful with the ones we can ingest or inhale or ones that have contact with our skin.
Here are common Nanotech materials in our daily lives:
Skin care products
Cosmetics
imaging and scanning diagnostics like MRI devices
Cancer detection
Sunscreen products
Vitamins and supplements
Oral and intravenous medicines
Building materials
food packaging
I have a copy of a clinical impression toxicological report that shows my family's exposure to many of the already existing nanoparticles; nano-anchors, nano-spheres, nano-claws, and smart dust. I have added these to my book which you can get at http://www.healinggrapevine.com
Smart Dust may very well be the champion of all these nano-particles because of its ability to monitor Anything!
So what does that mean for our future?
I have to admit it sounds like Star Trek creepers Being assimilated by the Borg.
What can we do now? Educate, Collaborate, Stimulate
Please help spread the awareness.
Flushing, detoxing, and re-vitalizing our body tissues is a wise strategy for regaining our health.
