Marine veterans of former MCAS El Toro were exposed to toxic chemicals

Linda’s comment: This type of stuff makes me want to scream….These men and women fought for our FREEDOM and are having to fight the government for proper treatments.

(IRVINE, CA) – I don’t believe in ghosts. If I ran into one or two, maybe I’d change my mind.  The stories of lights in the former Marine Corps Air Stations El Toro’s control tower when the power was cut off in July 1999 may be just someone’s wild imagination or I guess if you believe in paranormal activity, maybe the ghosts of Marines who served on the base and returned to haunt the place.  No question there’s good reasons for haunting the old base.  

At night, the former base takes on the appearance of a ghost town.  With the power to buildings cut off and hundreds of dilapidated buildings still standing, moonlight can play tricks on your mind.  Shadows move or seem to move and it doesn’t take too long before normally rational  people see things that are not there.

AIR POLLUTION: Mercury emissions rose in 2008 at 27 major U.S. power p

Excerpt:

More than half of the United States’ top mercury-emitting power plants increased releases of the toxic metal in 2008, according to a report issued today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) study shows mercury emissions rising in 2008 at 27 of the nation’s top 50 polluting plants.

Overall, electric utilities’ mercury emissions dropped 4.7 percent from 2007 to 2008 — the last year for which data is available — while gross power generation declined by about 2 percent, the report says. Emissions of the toxic pollutant from the top 50 plants combined fell slightly over that period by about 0.26 percent.

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that can accumulate in lakes and rivers, contaminating aquatic life. Exposure to mercury can interfere with brain function and can lead to birth defects and other developmental problems.

Power plants are the single largest U.S. source of mercury air pollution, the report says, producing more than 40 percent of all human-caused mercury emissions nationwide.

Autism link to power lines and mercury

Linda’s comment:  This is one of the easiest protocols to follow….I have been on the program for 1 1/2 years now and all I can say is don’t waste one more minute….go to www.gordenresearch.com and click on Webinars…then look for FIGHT….yes it takes some time, but the education and awareness you will gleam is well worth the time you will spend…
FROM DR. GORDON:
There is no escaping Mercury from coal burning power plants so what do we tell patients since we are all being adversely affected. We sound unscientific if we suggest that everyone needs to get the lead and mercury out yet that is the truth. But, we need new ways to monitor the severity and the response, such as markers of oxidative stress.

If we try to tease out the increased risk from a local power plant while distant plants in China are polluting everyone, this research will be as difficult as studies on cigarette smoking have been. We now know that second hand smoke is possibly even more toxic.

So with that in mind, if we pollute everyone on the planet with lead and mercury, it will be very difficult to tease out just how much worse the pollution effect if from your local coal burning power plant since environmental factors working through Epigenetics play such a major part of which illnesses you express from YOUR mercury exposure.  From the dramatic responses in Parkinson’s patients treated with mercury removal therapy including OSR from Boyd Haley’s research, we can begin to recognize that Mercury exposures express differently in different people at different ages.

The good news is that stopping the excess exposures by restricting mercury containing fish and removing amalgams all seem to show real benefits. Enhanced removal of heavy metals is possible with long-term use of Zeolite, Fiber, High Dose Ascorbic Acid, OSR, etc. Amazingly enough some children recover full speech and many see their tremors stop.

The issue is we cannot stop breathing and since the air always contains toxic metal particulates, everyone on earth today needs lifetime protection.

The problem is to move away from relying primarily on enhanced post provocative chelation studies on urine and into a more unifying concept that recognizes we must lower our exposures to all OXIDATIVE STRESSORS. Moving in that direction will eliminate the tendency to under treat children who may have a block in their ability to excrete heavy metals or have excessive inflammation that is holding the metals in involved tissues despite the use of otherwise normally useful detoxing methods.

SAN ANTONIO (April 24, 2008)—How do mercury emissions affect pregnant mothers, the unborn and toddlers? Do the level of emissions impact autism rates? Does it matter whether a mercury-emitting source is 10 miles away from families versus 20 miles? Is the risk of autism greater for children who live closer to the pollution source?

A newly published study of Texas school district data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, indeed shows a statistically significant link between pounds of industrial release of mercury and increased autism rates. It also shows—for the first time in scientific literature—a statistically significant association between autism risk and distance from the mercury source.

“This is not a definitive study, but just one more that furthers the association between environmental mercury and autism,” said lead author Raymond F. Palmer, Ph.D., associate professor of family and community medicine at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio. The article is in the journal Health & Place.

Dr. Palmer, Stephen Blanchard, Ph.D., of Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio and Robert Wood of the UT Health Science Center found that community autism prevalence is reduced by 1 percent to 2 percent with each 10 miles of distance from the pollution source.

Urgent! CNN Headline Story on Toxins

LISTEN UP friends, doctors and families, do not miss CNN sat and Sunday local time  5 pm  called TOXIC AMERICA   go to www.cnn.com/toxicamerica as they are preaching the ten Americans video and had the head of EWG   on as a guest and it was great graphics about the garbage the fetus is swimming in.  Share this with ALL you know…. 

I have been preaching for several years now about the toxins that are swallowing us up….I know some of you get tired of my preaching!!!  These CNN reports will shake you to your bones and hopefully get you on your backside to LISTEN UP….
 
Dr Oz today Friday, June 4, did a great show on pesticides and herbicides….The fresh fruits and veggies are coated with pesticides and herbicides UNLESS you are eating ORGANIC….Our toxic world is killing us….I’m working with a patient right now who all their lives lived in a town that had smelters….today she is full of Cancers, heavy metals AND ARSENIC….Between the foods, water and smelters this whole town has more, than you care to know, Cancers…..Now get this, the damn companies which turn this town into a Cancer pit is telling the towns people that it is cleaned up and they have nothing to fear….WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtt….????????? These people didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday…..Do these companies really think these people are stupid????
I’m trying to encourage them to file a “class action suit”….
 
Enough is enough of the companies spewing toxins all over the world and NOT taking responsibility for the lives that have been lost and the heartache that has been caused from the loss of lives…We the People NEED TO  RISE UP and begin bringing lawsuits against them…
 
They can use their damn bottom-line to pay for the medical expense of these poor folks AND pay for cost of moving them to a safe environment….
 
This isn’t DOOM and GLOOM….this is serious business and WE THE PEOPLE CAN  STAND UP AND NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
 
IF consumers STOP buying the toxic foods, then the industry will change….If we start filing class action lawsuits against the companies that are creating our toxic world, it will stop….Join groups…..better yet form your own neighborhood groups to educate and bring awareness against our TOXIC WORLD….
 
At least we have a fighting chance by getting on a good daily detox program……The FIGHT protocol is a good beginning……what ever protocol you begin DO IT NOW and teach others the dangers if they don’t…

Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals

One in six children today suffer from a neurodevelopmental disorder. This well referenced article from Lancet contains valuable information to enable you to educate yourselves in regard our need today for continual detoxification. 

Institute of Public University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark (Prof P Grandjean MD); Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA (P Grandjean); Department of Community Medicine (Prof PJ Landrigan MD); and Department of Pediatrics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation, and cerebral palsy are common, costly, and can cause lifelong disability. Their causes are mostly unknown. A few industrial chemicals (eg, lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], arsenic, and toluene) are recognised causes of neuro-developmental disorders and subclinical brain dysfunction. Exposure to these chemicals during early fetal development can cause brain injury at doses much lower than those affecting adult brain function. Recognition of these risks has led to evidence-based programmes of prevention, such as elimination of lead additives in petrol. Although these prevention campaigns are highly successful, most were initiated only after substantial delays. Another 200 chemicals are known to cause clinical neurotoxic effects in adults. Despite an absence of systematic testing, many additional chemicals have been shown to be neurotoxic in laboratory models. The toxic effects of such chemicals in the developing human brain are not known and they are not regulated to protect children. The two main impediments to prevention of neurodevelopmental deficits of chemical origin are the great gaps in testing chemicals for developmental neurotoxicity and the high level of proof required for regulation. New, precautionary approaches that recognise the unique vulnerability of the developing brain are needed for testing and control of chemicals

CHRONIC Low Level Lead Toxicity and our Health

Linda’s Comment:  Dr Garry Gordon has had a great deal of anxiety over the amounts of heavy metal toxins that we are being exposed to on a daily basis….Dr Gordon developed the FIGHT program to help reduce our load of heavy metals and become more healthy.  Don’t wait until you are a dead person walking.  Do your research and find your own answers.

I personally have been on the FIGHT program for over a year and very happy I did.  For those of us with chronic illness like Lyme disease, we must do everything we can from diet, exercise and finding the protocol that will help us to reduce our load of pathogens and toxins.

Come join the discussion and learn how you too can reduce your total body burden of pathogens and toxins.

CHRONIC Low Level Lead Toxicity and our Health

It seems from this new report that my concerns about chronic lead toxicity are destined to become the concerns of mainstream medicine. All I have to do is live to over 100 and my approach to health problems might become mainstream so perhaps I need to keep working hard to stay ahead of mainstream medicine. Continued
