TOXIC RAIN!

Important 3 part Article By Susan Thorpe Vargas, PHD.
"Pesticides continue to produce unpleasant surprises around the world.  ** In April, researchers in Switzerland announced that much of the rain falling on Europe contains such high levels of pesticides that rainwater would be illegal if it were supplied as drinking water.  [1] Rain over Europe is laced with atrazine, alochlor and other common agricultural poisons sprayed onto crops."  (www.northernterritories.com/Susan%20Vargas/pesticides.htm).  The ongoing mass extermination of frogs (the great, global frog extinction - heard about it?) and uncountable millions of people poisoned are but 2 notable events within a larger Extinction Event engineered by technology and corporate greed.

10,000 people poisoned by amalgam!  Dentist Assistants Poisoned with Amalgam.  See:

www.healthcareforums.org/viewtopic.php?topic=1489.

Hypocrisy.  How can anyone state that there is freedom of speech when one cannot write about a cancer cure, AIDS cure or allergies cure unless the substance being used to treat with is sanctioned by orthodox medicine?  How did so much fascism arise within Western society, to the point where the laws of the land assist medicine to police human experience and a now long-gone inalienable right to talk about that experience?  Why is so much emphasis placed on maximizing the profits of global life science and pharmaceutical corporate giants?  It is a materialistic obsession and limitation of now degenerate human metaphysical potential that sees multinationals and their puppet governmental reps 'own' the bio-chemical and, soon, DNA substrate of all life, 'own' diseases, and 'own' the right to be totalitarian about it all.  Not a Brave New Good World, but rather a very scary one instead where the poisoned and harrassed people are largely the underprivileged, a blighted world where money can buy a lifestyle separated from the toxic waste dumps and the deadly and dirty occupations that maim and kill.

 

What Do You Do For Money If You've Been Poisoned and You

Can't Work a Regular Job?

Advertising.  You might spend a lifetime in obedience to advertising generated by:

BASF - "We offer our customers intelligent system solutions and sophisticated products." (http://www.corporate.basf.com/en/?id=V00-R.Zg97Ll2bcp-2-)

Bayer - "Bayer.  Science for a better life." (http://www.bayer.com/)

FMC - "From our inception in 1883, FMC has been providing solutions to the world’s best companies and their customers." (http://www.fmc.com/).

Monsanto - "Helping others help children to see...  Monsanto is proud to sponsor America's Heartland, a weekly television program that celebrates American agriculture." (http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/layout/default.asp)

 

All you might achieve is to fill up your body with the residues of many toxic nerve agents, and slowly succumb to one negative health event after another (my reactions to termiticide were, actually, very swift, and then longterm in the further appearance and development of brand new symptoms).  Not a pleasant way to GO.

Imidacloprid (also known as Premise, and manufactured by Bayer): a general use pesticide or insecticide: "Symptoms of exposure to imidacloprid include apathy, labored breathing, incoordination, emaciation, and convulsions. Longer-term exposures cause reduced ability to gain weight and thyroid lesions (http://www.pesticide.org/imidacloprid.pdf.  As well, "It has raised concerns because of its possible impact on bee populations, ability to cause eggshell thinning in birds, and reduced egg production and hatching success. By David Buffin." (http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Actives/imidaclo.htm).  Therefore, it is of considerable environmental concern. 

 

Fipronil (products manufactured by Bayer/Aventis): moderate acute toxicity, a possible carcinogen, a potential groundwater contaminant, and a suspected endocrine disruptor (http://www.pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC35768#Toxicity).

 

 

Prevail:  "15. Precautions, First Aid: Protect yourself by reducing skin and eye exposure.  Wear coveralls, brimmed hard hat gloves, unlined or neoprene gloves and neoprene overboots or rubber boots.  In addition, wear a waterproof apron and respirator when handling the pesticide concentrate. If in eyes or on skin, use standard first aid measures. If swallowed, seek medical attention" (http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/general/pesticide.nsf/0/B048644F426913D887257051006FE1F2?opendocument&nocalc).  Be careful!!  Want to be completely SAFE?  Don't use it!  If you live anywhere near a nursery, golf course or agricultural region, then I hope your health insurance is current...  Add natural vitamins and mineral supplements to your diet to increase your body's resistance to chemical assault.

 

Diet: Is an essential core subject in Human Health.  Diet includes not only what to eat and what not to eat (eg natural versus junk 'foods'), but also what to avoid in terms of potential chemical contamination.  This subject ranges from vegetables that often have high loads of pesticides (like broccoli) through to packaged or canned goods that use preservatives and colorants, or by the very nature of packaging have chemical contamination (eg canned goods where internal can linings may contain chemicals that are endocrine disruptors).

 

Health Care: Health Care begins with your knowledge!  The best thing you can do for your health is to learn what's toxic and how to avoid these dangers, and know how to optimize your health.

Termidor:  "BASF is the home of Termidor® termiticide-insecticide" (http://www.pestcontrolfacts.com/).  "It contains fipronil, a phenyl pyrazole type of pesticide that kills by disrupting nerve transmission. It is irritating to eyes and skin, and is toxic by all routes of exposure (skin contact, breathing, ingestion). The acute toxicity of fipronil is moderately high, based on lab rat studies (97 mg/kg ).⁵ The toxicity of the finished product will depend on the concentration of fipronil in it. Chronic toxicity studies show it is harmful to the nervous systems of both rats and dogs. It is classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a possible human carcinogen based on thyroid tumors in rat studies. It is toxic to aquatic wildlife and should not be used in low areas or near water sources.⁶" (http://www.environmentalhealth.org/fs-termite04.html)

My concerns remain with the acute effects of pesticide toxicity, and the residual nature of pesticides allowing people to be exposed to, especially pesticide vapors over extended periods of time.  Subterranean termites are a big problem here because the mentality for so long has been that of flooding the perimeter of a residence with toxic nerve agents in order to generate a continuous chemical barrier that supposedly repels termites.  But termites have been shown to be quite capable of penetrating any chemical barrier (they'll even mass-suicide in constructing a tunnel in order to allow reserve termites to get through).  My experience shows that the pesticide (either the 'active ingredient' or the so-called 'inerts' or carrier agents, usually hydrocarbons) will vaporize and be carried with water vapor - as the 'vehicle' - through fractures and pores in a concrete slab into the living area of a residence.

 

Termite baits appear to be a better way of termite control, but still doesn't eliminate the presence of poisons near to where children and pets play in the yard.  Nevertheless, it avoids most of the problems associated with a chemical product being so close to a slab and completely mobile and unmonitored.  That is, for example, that the toxin diffuses through the slab and up through the tiles or carpet into the residence living space.
 

NOTE: The book, The Best Control II (Tvedten 1998, 2002), can be easily purchased (either as hardcopy or CD – comprising 1700 pages and 36 years worth of professional pest control research and experience) from: http://www.safesolutionsinc.com/resources.htm.

 

Nsaids.  "Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are medications which, as well as

having pain-relieving (analgesic) effects, have the effect of reducing inflammation when

used over a period of time."  (www.medinfo.co.uk/drugs/nsaids.html)

 

Lupus.  "Lupus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can affect virtually any system in the body. Think of it as a 'self-allergy' where the body attacks its own cells and tissues, causing inflammation, pain, and possible organ damage." (http://www.uklupus.co.uk/)


Varicella (Chicken Pox): I suspect may also appear more likely after pesticide exposure.  It appears that if

the immune system has been sufficiently compromised, many diseases may be more readily

communicated and translated across time and space.  International travel features here in this

ominous warning.   "Health concerns about pesticides have tended to focus on their potential to act as acute

poisons or their ability to cause cancer. But pesticides may pose other important risks as well. Recently,

evidence has accumulated that many commonly used pesticides can suppress the normal response of the

human immune system to invading viruses, bacteria, parasites, and tumors. The immune system is the body's

primary line of defense against disease agents, so weakening its response could increase the toll of disease." (http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=15&:;db=12&:;C0=16)
 

 

 

 

Poisoned Planet: Global Warming

RECORD HEAT WAVE IN EUROPE TAKES 35,000 LIVES
Far Greater Losses May Lie Ahead

Janet Larsen

In August 2003, Europe was paralyzed by a massive heat wave of unprecedented proportions.  More than 35,000 people died.  France's searing temperatures -- up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) -- claimed 14,802 lives, more than 19 times the worldwide SARS epidemic death toll.
