Pesticides – with comments from Linda

Linda’s comments:  We need to all step to the plate on the pesticide issue in our country.  Other countries have stepped to the plant and banned products that the US continues to carry, thanks to Monsanto…UGHhh

How do we stop this problem…simple, we refuse to purchase these products and when it hits the bottom line we will start winning.

In the past dozen years, three new diseases have decimated populations of amphibians, honeybees, and — most recently — bats. Increasingly, scientists suspect that low-level exposure to pesticides could be contributing to this rash of epidemics.

Ever since Olga Owen Huckins shared the spectacle of a yard full of dead, DDT-poisoned birds with her friend Rachel Carson in 1958, scientists have been tracking the dramatic toll on wildlife of a planet awash in pesticides. Today, drips and puffs of pesticides surround us everywhere, contaminating 90 percent of the nation’s major rivers and streams, more than 80 percent of sampled fish, and one-third of the nation’s aquifers. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, fish and birds that unsuspectingly expose themselves to this chemical soup die by the millions every year.

Splenda – more problems with this dangerous substance

Linda’s comment:  I don’t know how to make folks understand how deadly artificial sweeteners are…Splenda is one of them….it is a poisonous chlorocarbon….it will drop your thymus among a few things. WALK UP PEOPLE….take charge of you own health care…the government isn’t.

Excerpt:

“Splenda/sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly. Chlorine is nature’s Doberman attack dog, a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and hydrochloric acid.

Splenda more dangerous than thought

Linda’s comments:  I will not give up with trying to make people understand the deadly hazards of Splenda…..Those who don’t want to listen are usually addicted to Aspartame, Splenda and the other deadly artificial sweeteners…..It saddens me to watch, EVEN Doctors, make the same mistakes of drinking these deadly poisons, plus the fact they are telling their patients and friends that it is OK to drink this neurotoxin….Very scary out there, watching those make these mistakes.  I just had a good example on Facebook, where this kid could not gets his head wrapped around how deadly Splenda is….<sigh>  Oh well as my granny use to say, “You can lead a horse to water, BUT you can’t make them drink”!!!  SAD!!

James Bowen, M.D., A physician, biochemist, and survivor of aspartame poisoning warns about yet another synthetic sweetener, Splenda. 

Hawaii, May 8, 2005 — The chemical sucralose, marketed as “Splenda”, has replaced aspartame as the #1 artificial sweetener in foods and beverages. Aspartame has been forced out by increasing public awareness that it is both a neurotoxin and an underlying cause of chronic illness worldwide. Dr. James Bowen, Researcher and biochemist, reports:
