Washing and disinfecting plastic items can cause a
very toxic chemical reaction. In reference:

Article titled;
Protecting Yourself From Unsafe Plastics,
By Sharon Levy
National Wildlife Magazine, February / March issue, Vol.42, No.2

There is a peer reviewed medical
journal that was published, indicating
that the majority of mental illnesses are
caused by toxic chemical exposures. My
perspective is that such chemical
exposures can also hinder Spiritual
development as well as interfere with
and "corrupt" sexual desires.

In reference:

Title of article:
Environmental Connections: A Deeper Look into Mental Illness
Published by:
Environmental Health Perspectives
Volume 115, Number 8, August 2007
www.ehponline.org/members/2...focus.html

Their "general conclusion" (in the above article) is that
mental illness is not "so genetic" and most likely due
to toxic chemical exposures.....

FYI:
Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP )
a monthly journal of peer-reviewed research and news
on the impact of the environment on human health.
EHP is published by the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences and its content is free online. Print issues
are available by paid subscription. www.ehponline.org/

Here is an excerpt from the "introduction" of
a UCSF research article;

Over the past decade, it has become clear that the brain
synthesizes steroid hormones by using some of the same
steroidogenic enzymes found in adrenals and gonads
(reviewed in refs. 1 and 2). These compounds were given
the name neurosteroids (3), and some of their functions
have been elucidated (4).

The above excerpt is from:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors directly alter
activity of neurosteroidogenic enzymes
