  formaldehyde in the body
« on: April 20, 2009, 09:13:29 PM » by lovey1029
Ladies,

My mom ( age 63) has been diagnosed with high levels of formaldehyde in her body.  She has been experiencing a buzzing sensation inside her body for about a year and a half which sometimes affects her sleep at night.  She has some adrenal dysfunction also as a result of the formaldehyde.  Anyone had a similar experience?  She is consulting a naturopathic doctor and desires to support her body with nutrition.  Thanks for any suggestions.

I know that formaldehyde is used in immunizations; is she getting a lot of flu shots?  What could be the cause at that age?

In Medicine
Formaldehyde is widely used as a fumigant in hospitals and laboratories.
Formaldehyde is a component of many medicines, including;
•many vaccinations,
•wart remedies,
•medicated creams,
•orthopedic casts,
•dental root canal preparation disinfectants and sealants,
•cardiac drugs,
•antihistamines,
•some athlete's foot remedies,
•cough drops,
•skin disinfectants,
•mouthwashes,
•spermicidal creams,
•disinfectant for vasectomies,
•and enteric slow-release pill coatings.

In Food and Agriculture Many slow-release fertilizers are based on urea-formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is heavily and widely employed in agriculture for seed treatment, stored crop fumigation, and soil disinfection.

It is added to animal feed as a preservative, and to improve handling characteristics of animal fat and oilseed cattle food mixtures.

In Nourishing Traditions, I believe Sally Fallon says that formaldehyde is used in the production process of many maple syrups. I can't double-check right now because I loaned out my copy, but it might be worth checking into if your mom is eating maple syrup on her pancakes every morning.
