Dr. Soto also says he’s seeing more patients who are testing positive for toxic agents associated with the oil spill in excess of the 95th percentile.

If they’re spreading beyond the shoreline, could we all be at risk?…

[W]hen you get a huge load of toxins and chemicals, then the system gets overhwelmed and can’t take care of it. It stays in the tissues effecting their functions; Brain functions, immune system, hormonal function etc…

“We’re not talking about short term effects of irritation in the airways, headaches, or rashes people have been experiencing from symptoms that we get calls here in the office for.

“I’m more concerned about the long term health effects. Nobody talks about it, nobody’s even thinking of that 5,10,15, 20 years from now that we’re going to see–cancer” says Dr. Soto.
