Environmental and Occupational Medicine @ UCSF uses hand sanitizers and soaps with strong scent in the dispensers by Ecolab, the company with the highly misleading name and unhealthy and unsafe products. The “eco” part of the name does not stand for “ecology”. It is abbrevarion for “economy” at the unbearable price tag of illness and severe disability. No, it also does NOT mean the Company uses “ecologically safe products and services”. But many institutions do not realize that and bite the bate of this predator with the sneaky appeal.
However, if mom and pop stores may use the exuse of “not knowing better”, due to the cruel lack of info from the corrupt and inept Public Health Departments of local and federal government, no exusiology may excuse the department that is focused on environmental hazards’ impacts at University of San Francisco Medical School, “one of the world’s top“ Medical school, from not knowing how painful such health hazard can be to many of the their patients with Multiple Chemicals Sensitivities, many of whom have acute intolerance to all artificially scented products, where synthetically scented soaps is one of their top pain triggers.
Will this capable research and medical facility of UCSF finally take the lead in changing this trend of illegally legalizing known health hazards for the consumer consumption?
(This Ecolab’s soap dispenser with artificially fragrant health hazard is placed across the above List of Practicing Doctors, near the elevator on the 4th floor of UCSF Campus.)
THIS HARMFUL BLIND SPOT IS ONE OF TOO MANY AUDACITIES THAT
THAT WAS ALLOWED TO BE MANIFESTED INTO LEGALIZED AND WIDE SPREAD CONVENTION. AND YET, DESPITE ALL RELATED CHALENGES, IT MUST BE COMBATED AND MUST SEIZE WITH NO DELAY, WITH NO EXTRA VICTIMS HAVING TO PAY WITH THEIR HEALTH AND LIVES.
AND, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DESERVE TO WORK IN SAFE, HAZARDS FREE ENVIRONMENT SO MUCH, AS WELL AS OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY.
THE SPECIAL TASK FORCE IS OVERDUE TO BE ORGANIZED TIMELY, IN ORDER TO LEAD THE SOCIETY-WIDE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE EPIDEMIC OF PREVENTABLE ILLNESSES, TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND LIVES FROM THE HUMAN-CAUSED ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.
ADDITIONALLY, WE, AS THE SOCIETY ARE OBLIGATED TO LEARN THE LESSONS FROM HAVING TO PAY THIS PAINFUL PRICE OF MILLIONS OF PREVENTABLE DEATHS AND SUFFERING FROM HORRIBLE ILLNESSES, RESULTING IN FINDING PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS TO PREVENT IT FROM RESURGENCE.
PAINFUL LESSONS ARE TO BE LEARNED:
TOWARDS PREVENTION OF THE HARMFUL AND DEVASTATING INSTITUTIONALIZED BLIND SPOTS
IN ADDITION TO DEALING WITH THIS SPECIFICS OF THIS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, IT IS ALSO IMPERATIVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSES THAT ALLOWED FOR SUCH PROBLEM WITH VAST IMPACTS TO OCCUR. This complex question should invigorate the effort to understand it in-depth and promptly, instead of current wide spread paralysis.
Just like any other solution to the blind spot, the solution to this problem is readily available, but must be simply recognized:
OUR CURRENT METHODS OF DEALING WITH BLIND SPOTS ARE ILLOGICAL AND INADEQUATE, AND MUST CHANGE DRASTICALLY AND URGENTLY, DUE TO THE EXCEDING PACE OF OUR SOCIETAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOME AREAS (SUCH AS TECHNOLOGY) VS. LAGGING AND UNBSLANCED DEVELOPMENT IN MOST OF OTHER PARTS OF THE SOCIETY, DEPENDENT ON SUCH OUR COGNITIVE ABILITIES THAT IMPEDED OUR ABILITIES TO SERVE OUR MOST CRITICAL AND URGENT PRIORITIES, SUCH AS OUR HEALTH.
OUR SENSORY PERCEPTION OF INNER AND OUTER REALITY, AND MANY ADVANCED COGNTIVE FUNCTIONS ARE NOT DEVELOPED DUE TO UNBALANCED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT CURRENTLY DOES NOT AIM TO FOSTER OUR REACH FOR OUR HIGHER HUMAN POTENTIAL. WE, AS THE SOCIETY, DON’T DESERVE TO PAY SUCH DEAR PRICE. WE DESERVE BETTER.
Our undeveloped or less developed cognitive abilities isn‘t an optional or luxurious matter. It is a matter of the critical issue of the brain development and maintenance -
BRAIN’S BALANCED FUNCTION.
Our onesided education is reflective of our societal priorities and structures. But, just like centuries ago, our society follows the pattern of the last, instead of using education to craft the better future for the Humankind.
As the result, our abilities to assess our own actions on metacognitive level are limited, resulting in our applications of the technological advances in detrimental ways to our own core needs. This self-destructive path is taken due to the lacking awareness of the painful outcomes, caused by the DUMBDOWN SENSORY CAPACITY (INCLUDING SELF-REPRESSION OF OUR OWN PAIN), that lead us as individuals and as the society to upholding false priorities, the ubiquitous trend in our psyche that had manifested into the enormous ecological catastrophes and the current paralysis about their speedy and effective sooutions on the local and global scale.
Similar phenomena of the widespread sensory debilitation has manifested in the field of MEDICINE where the priority to focus on the needs of alleviating suffeing and assisting patient’s recovery got superseded by the profit-driven mentality, with the ugliest and the most painful outcomes for each and all of us, with no exception.
Such complexity of the problems demands for the adequately complex method for their solutions. That is why, despite the unfair stigma, educational activities that promote POLYPHONIC approaches and foster SYMPHONIC MINDSENT, complex experiential music-based activities must be integrated into educational curricula of all levels. Developmental and transformative power of Music has been misunderetood and misused for centuries, mistaken for mindless entertainment, and must be harvested, in order to be able to revert from the global trend towards self-destruction.

LACKING THOROUGH SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TOXIC MOLD AND HIGHER SENSITIVITY TO HAZARDS (MULTIPLE CHEMICALS SENSITIVITIES)
We all should feel pain warnings at the time of interacting with hazardous substances, but our sensory capacity that informed survival instinct of our ancestors for millennia has been significantly numbed down. So the lack of motivation to make the health-related research data our top priority had been contributing more and more to this process among the majority, with the few exceptions. And some of these extra sensitive people among us have their higher than average sensitivity due to the combination of the higher sensory response, enabling them to be outetwnding artists and musicians, as well as the cumulative effect of environmental hazards, made to be felt as intolerable pain and other horrible symptoms, due to THE TOXIC MOLD EXPOSURE.
