Hope Arrived In A Book

When I was age 35, I had my first mammogram
which was normal. When I was 42, I felt a lump in
my left breast. The subsequent mammogram, ultrasound
and needle biopsy proved I had a tumor. Two tumors
in fact, and also two cancerous lymph nodes. The
experience was surreal. I am of Japanese descent.
I am a size 34A. With hardly much breast to speak
of, I did not think I could even get breast cancer.

One of the first things I did was ask the
Associate Pastor of my church to pray for my
healing and to annoint me with oil. He graciously
did this for me and counseled me to repent of the
sin in my life and to feed on the Bible, the Word
of God. We agreed that we make the best choices we
can, but God provides the healing.

My mom had passed from colon cancer when she
was 50. She had elected to have surgery and no
chemotherapy or radiation, so I thought I may as
well go through with the chemo, since that's what
my team of ob/gyn, oncologist, surgeon and
radiologist recommended. I viewed a DVD by Lorraine
Day, MD, of how she cured her cancer by juicing
instead of chemo and radiation, but lacked faith to
try natural healing first. I was told that if I
did not accept the surgery, my tumor would grow to
the size of a baseball, protruding from my chest
and be foul smelling. My doctor humbly said he
believed God gave him the knowledge to treat
cancer. My doctors are very well-read and
compassionate. Their patients believe they are
receiving the best care possible.

So, I had the chemo first. My sister stayed by
my side. Even the physician assistant confessed
that chemo is poisoning oneself. I was told that
my tumors did not shrink. My tumors were estrogen
positive. I had previously taken birth control
pills and had my tubes tied. I was told these did
not contribute to excess estrogen or cancer. The
chemo cause me to become menopausal. I was also
prescribed Tamoxifen.

My immediate and Christian church families
and co-workers were very supportive during my
treatment. I will forever be thankful to them.

My family wanted me to live as normally as
possible. I even continued to take Taekwondo after
I lost my hair, but became fatigued.

Surgery was scary, but again I was surrounded
by professionalism and compassion. My sister faithfully
spent two nights in the hospital and cheering me on,
saying she was proud of me for walking immediately
after my mastectomy.

By radiation, I told myself the worst was
behind me. However, my blood cell counts fluctuated
throughout treatment. When my white cell counts
were low, I avoided crowds to avoid infection.
I told a fellow patient that someone had sarcastically
told me, when I was doing radiation I guess the world
just stops revolving. He kindly responded, when you
are the one receiving the radiation, it does.
Emotionally, I wanted to hang on to normalcy, but
sometimes felt it was slipping through my hands. I
would read about cancer recurrence and lymph edema
and get scared. Everyone wants you to fight cancer
the way Lance Armstrong did, but I am a peacemaker,
not a fighter. I was looking for peace. Peace with
God, peace with my family, peace with the outcomes
of my cancer, peace with the future. What I needed
was peace, faith, and hope.

Next, comes the happy part of my story...My
husband and sister are avid readers. On my home
bookshelf, my husband had bought The pH Miracle by
Dr. Robert and Shelley Young. Thus, hope came to me
in the form of a book. It all made perfect sense to
me. In fact, of the hundred books I've skimmed
regarding cancer and health, it is the only book
that logically presented the theory of the biochemical
cause and prevention of cancer. It does not surprise
me that the Cancer Angel author Kim healed herself
of cancer. There are hundreds of others like her,
as well.

How could one simple book turn me from anxious
to hopeful? I am no longer waiting for the other
shoe to drop. I am not waiting for cancer recurrence.
As Dr Young would say, genetics is the loaded gun,
but lifestyle is the trigger. His 25 years of research
have even revealed specifically which alkaline foods
to eat and drink to optimize one's cellular environment
for optimal health. It is simple. Anyone can do it.
And you can monitor your daily progress with an
inexpensive pH strip. Genius. It is the most important
science a person could ever know. Can I control my
lifestyle? Of course. And so can you.

So thanks to Dr. Robert and Shelley Young, I
have hope and faith. Dr. Young says that faith is the
"First Attribute In Thinking Healthy."

If angels are messengers of God, Dr. Robert and
Shelley Young are two of them.

I am fully recovered now. I went on to earn my
Black Belt. I indoor rock climb with my 10-year old
daughter. I am blessed to have love in my family.
I finally found work that enables me to balance my
time. My manager says I am doing a wonderful job.
My husband is a role model of self-discipline. He
eats alkaline and works out daily. I believe he
will live to be 100. I am still learning to apply
what I know about nutrition, exercise, and hopeful
thinking. Dr Young says you can live weeks without
food, days without water, but only seconds without
hope. Have hope my friend. Hope in your recovery.
Hope in your future. Hope for a healthier world.

The Worst Cover-Up In The History Of The World!


The following newsletter on the history of virology,
bacteriology, mycology and vaccination is extremely
long but important for the world to know the truth.
May I suggest before reading further to please
watch the following YouTube video entitled,
"The Worst Cover-up in the History of the Military."
And finally, please share this information with
everyone you know.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj7AN4fRe6s

The story of marine David Fey reads like a crime
novel and is typical of all the cases I am
personally aware of. It is shocking and sad to
think that our soldiers pledging their lives to
defend the United States are being used as guinea
pigs for unknown vaccinations. It is nothing new
because it has been going on for 100's of years.

Let's start with a few quotes:

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable."

- H L Mencken

"No country and no people can be free and ignorant at the same time."

- Thomas Jefferson

"The only safe vaccine is the one that is never used."

- James Shannon
Former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director

"I haven't got a flu shot and I don't intend to."
- George W. Bush 2004 Presidential Candidate

"Vaccinations only prove that you can inject someone
with highly acidic toxic poisonous chemicals and that person
hopefully surviving the debilitating side effects, such as multiple
sclerosis, lesions on the brain, paralysis, breakdown of the red
and white blood cells, ulcerations of the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas,
stomach and bowels, seizures and death. Vaccinations provide
zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices."

- Dr. Robert O. Young
The pH Miracle Living Center
www.phmiracleliving.com

The following is a history of virology, bacteriology, mycology and vaccination that has lead to many of the out-breaks and/or epidemics from the Spanish Flu Epidemic to Polio to HIV/AIDS to the Gulf War Syndrome and now to our latest epidemics of prostate and breast cancer, diabetes, obesity and the rise of autism in children.

Dr. Young has stated that the use of vaccinations, antibiotics and anti-fungals will only poison the body leading to the one sickness and one disease - latent tissue acidosis and then death.

All vaccinations, antibiotics and anti-fungals are the acids of morbid fermentation of plant, animal and human matter and when ingested or injected can only prove that you can poison the body and hopefully live through it.

The day will soon come when scientists will proclaim that the use of vaccinations, antibiotics and anti-fungals are harmful to the human body and should not be used under ANY circumstances.

In the words of Thomas Edison, 'The Doctor of the Future will give no medicine, but will involve the patient in the proper use of food, fresh air, and exercise.'

The future that Thomas Edison speaks is here and now! Read on to understand and to see the course we have been walking for the last several centuries and how things must change before it is to late.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1798 General vaccine programs against cowpox instituted in the US.

1801 First widespread experimentation with vaccines begins.

1802 The British government gives Edward Jenner £10,000 for continued experimentation with 'smallpox vaccine.' The paradigm that vaccines provide 'lifetime immunity' is abandoned, and the concept of 're-vaccination' is sanctioned.

1822 The British government advances Edward Jenner another £20,000 for 'smallpox vaccine' experimentation. Jenner suppresses reports which indicate his concept is causing more death than saving lives.

1844 Fredrich Loeffler isolated the diphtheria bacillus from the throats of patients.

1881 Sternberg in his own lab isolated the pneumococcus

1882 Robert Koch isolates the tubercle bacillus

1883 Robert Koch isolates the cholera bacillus.

1883 Max Von Pettenkofer suggested that Koch's bacteria were only one of the many factors in the causation of cholera. He prepared test tubes thick with lethal cholera bacteria and he and several of his students drank them down with no side affects.

1888 Bacteriological Institute opens in Paris for experimentation with animals and production of vaccines and sera. Other institutes open around the world modeled after the Paris Institute.

1888 Bacteriological Institute in Odessa, Russia tries its hand at a vaccine for anthrax. Over 4500 sheep are vaccinated; 3,700 of them die from the vaccination.

1909 New York Press, January 26, 1909 publishes a report by W.B. Clark which states, 'cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I have seen 200 cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an un-vaccinated person.' Scientific evidence begins to mount that where human lymph is employed in a vaccine, syphilis, leprosy and TB soon follow. Where calf lymph is employed in the creation of a vaccine, TB and cancer soon follow. (Cancer and Vaccination by Esculapius).

1911 The head of French Public Health for the French Army said that germs alone were 'powerless to create an epidemic.'

1912 First whooping cough (Pertussis) vaccine created by two French bacteriologists, Jules Bordet and Octave Gengou, who wanted to use it in Tunisia. After they grew Pertussis bacteria in large pots, they killed it with heat, mixed it with formaldehyde (used to embalm bodies) and injected it into children.

"Vaccinations, Not a Virus, Is Responsible for Spanish Flu - 1918"

- Dr. Robert O. Young
The pH Miracle Living Center
www.phmiracleliving.com

1933 a British science team to identify the first filterable bacteria in man, yet propaganda says that the virus of Spanish flu killed millions of civilians and soldiers during the pandemic from 1918 to 1920.

Many would have us believe that all those American soldiers who died from non-combatant causes died from Spanish flu. However, U.S. Army records show that seven men died after being vaccinated.

A report from U.S. Secretary of War Henry L Stimson, the deaths were not only verified but also there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis reported as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of the war. Plus, the yellow fever vaccination was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given to recruits.

1911 vaccinations became a requirement in the U.S. Army. Cases of typhoid and vaccinial diseases increased rapidly, according to Army records.

1917 The death rate from typhoid reached the highest point in the history of the U.S. Army after America entered the war.

In 1917, 19,608 men were admitted into army hospitals due to anti typhoid inoculation and vaccinia, according to a report of the Surgeon-General of the U.S. Army; and this doesn't take into account others whose symptoms were attributed to other causes. The army doctors knew all these cases of disease and death were due to vaccination and were honest enough to admit it in their medical reports. Army doctors tried to suppress the symptoms of typhoid with a stronger vaccine, however it caused a worse form of typhoid, paratyphoid. They then concocted an even stronger vaccine to suppress the previous one and created an even worse disease--Spanish flu.

After the war, this was one of the vaccines used to protect a panic-stricken world from the soldiers returning from WWI battle fronts infected with dangerous diseases.

The rest is history.

1918 Great influenza epidemic attributed to widespread use of vaccines that killed up to 100 million people.

1921 BCG tuberculosis vaccine developed.

1922 A study by Samuel Torrey Orton connects emotional disturbance with neurological problems. This insight was lost after World War II when psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis became popular, breaking the connection. The emotional disturbances caused by vaccines then became financial fodder for the new psych-industries. With the causes suppressed, a new industry was born.

1925 Danish researcher Thorvald Madsen tries a modified Pertussis vaccine during an epidemic in the Faroc Islands. It did not prevent Pertussis. (See 1933).

1925 General vaccine programs against tuberculosis began in the United States.

1927 British government appoints a committee to inquire into 'vaccine lymph', as it is noticed that the 'glycerinated calf lymph' used in vaccinations causes deaths from 'sleepy sickness'. Two London professors bring notice of the problem to the government in 1922. It takes 5 years before the government responds.

April, 1930 Eli Lilly, makers of thimerisol, inject the product into 22 people with meningitis who all die. Lilly publishes the "study", claiming that thimerisol, 50% mercury by weight, is safe.

1930 Max Theiler develops a yellow fever vaccine.

1931 Roosevelt endorses polio 'immune serum', precursor to vaccines in 1950's.

1932 Diptheria vaccines injure 171 and kill 1 in Charolles, France.

1933 Danish researcher Thorvald Madsen discovers the Pertussis vaccines ability to kill infants without warning (SID). He reports that two babies vaccinated immediately after birth died in a few minutes.

1933 American researchers report that children react to Pertussis vaccine with fever, convulsions and collapse.

1936 Pertussis vaccine introduced in the United States. Autism begins to appear in children shortly thereafter.

1936 Diptheria vaccine injures 75 in France.

1943 American vaccine researcher Pearl Kendrick reports that adding a metallic salt seemed to heighten the capacity of the Pertussis vaccine to produce anti-bodies. (Metal salt is an 'adjuvant' in this way). Some metallic salts used are those of aluminum (alum). Pearl Kendrick is the researcher that urged that Pertussis vaccine be combined with Diptheria vaccine. Later the Tetanus vaccine was added, producing the nefarious DPT Vaccine.

1943 General vaccine program against influenza begins in the US.

1944 Health Practitioners Journal, June 1944, reports Dr. S.S. Goldwater, the New York Commissioner of Hospitals states 'as a result of the drugs, vaccines and other suppressive treatments used to check diseases, chronic diseases are growing at such a rate that America may become a nation of invalids.'

1945 Japan surrenders twice, followed by US bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki and a third and final surrender. The Allies mandate compulsory vaccination in Japan. The first cases of autism follow pertussis vaccine introduction.

1946 US Government Pertussis vaccine expert Margaret Pittman and FDA's Charles Kendrick decide to test Pertussis vaccine by injecting it into the brains of mice and see how many survive.

1946 Werne and Garrow describe the deaths of identical twins within 24 hours of their second Pertussis shot.

1947 Matthew Brody at the Brooklyn Hospital gives detailed descriptions of two cases of brain damage leading to death in children receiving Pertussis shots.

1947 Charles Posner of the Harvard Medical School Department of Neurology writes, 'almost any vaccination can lead to noninfectious inflammatory reaction involving the nervous system. The common denominator consists of vasculopathy that is often associated with demyelination.' (demyelination is the stripping of the insulation away from the nerves).

1947 The British Medical Research Council begins testing 50,000 children in Britain with the Pertussis vaccine. All children tested are more than 14 months old (not newborns). Eight infants had convulsions within 72 hours of the shot, 34 had convulsions within 28 days of the shot. British doctors denied a connection between the vaccine and the convulsions, declaring the tests a success and began administering it to all British children.

Despite the fact that none of the tests were conducted on children under 14 months old (newborns & babies), the United States holds the tests in evidence that the vaccine is safe for newborns as young as 6 weeks of age. The testing would continue until 1957.

1948 Randolph K. Byers and Frederick C. Moll of the Harvard Medical School publish an article describing children who had suffered brain damage after receiving Pertussis vaccine. The findings provided the first clear evidence that the vaccine caused the serious neurological complications in children.

1948 Randolph Byes and Frederick Moll of Harvard Medical School validate that severe neurological disorders follow the administration of DPT vaccine. The research was performed at Children's Hospital in Boston and published in Pediatrics magazine. Nothing was done by physicians to halt the use of DPT vaccine.

1948 A study on Pertussis vaccine reaction is done by Randolph K. Byers and Frederick C. Moll of the Harvard Medical School. They examine 15 children who had reacted violently within 72 hours of a Pertussis vaccination. All the children were normal before the shot. None had ever had a convulsion before. One of the children became blind, deaf, spastic and helpless after being given the Pertussis shot. Out of the 15 children, 2 died and 9 suffered from damage to their nervous system. Physicians were displeased by these results.

1948 England bans smallpox vaccine.

1948 North Carolina polio cases number 2,498. See 1949.

1948 Louis Sauer makes an interesting observation at an AMA meeting where Pertussis vaccination was discussed. Louis Sauer points out that 'the neurological damage caused by Pertussis vaccine is the same as the damage caused by Pertussis (whooping cough--Which is logical, because they use the bacteria in the vaccine). According to Sauer, 'a customary prophylactic dose of Pertussis vaccine seems to illicit a chain of nervous system reactions and in some cases irreversible pathological changes in the brain. These findings resemble those encountered in cases of severe whooping cough (Pertussis).' In other words, the vaccine is causing the disease condition.

1949 US Public Health Service Division of Biologics Standards establish a national potency test for Pertussis vaccine, and modify it in 1953 to establish potency limits. Despite this, the Pertussis vaccine that is pronounced 'safe' still causes minimal brain damage (MBD) in humans.

1951 Theiler wins Nobel for work on yellow fever vaccine.

1952 Formulation of the polio vaccine begins. Tens of millions of doses of polio vaccines produced from virus grown in monkey cells infected with SV-40 (Simian Virus #40). Scientists 'perform experiments in laboratories to determine the correct doses of antigen and supplementary chemicals to use in the polio
vaccine. (Ironically, since the scientific premise of vaccination is faulty, a 'correct dose of antigen and chemicals' does not exist).

1953 At the University of Zurich, Dr. S.Kong of the Pediatric Clinic compiles a list of 82 cases of Pertussis vaccine damage from world literature.

1953 The Swedish conduct a study on the Pertussis vaccine. Anna L. Annell, a Swedish researcher, writes a major work on Pertussis which indicates that 'pertussis vaccine may be associated with the most varying kinds of cerebral complications which may be cortical, subcortical or peripheral.'

Encephalitis after vaccination is known to produce the same range of disabilities and impairment. Annel also wrote, 'during the past few decades certain of the epidemic children's disease, measles in particular, have shown an increased tendency to attack the central nervous system. After the 1920's a large number of cases involving CNS damage were reported.

1954 Salk vaccine begins to be given to school children in Philadelphia.

1954 Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company combines the DPT shot with Polio vaccine. The new combination of four vaccines is called Quadrigen. (See 1959).

1954 Reward of $30,000 offered to anyone who proves polio vaccine not a fraud. Not one person was able to claim the reward.

1954 Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, allows a press photo to be taken during a ceremony declaring Salk vaccine safe.

1954 Polio rate caused by the vaccine accelerates ten-fold in Massachusetts.

1954 Eli Lilly company begins renovation of a five-story building in Indianapolis in July 1954 for the production of Salk vaccine. It is in full production by October of

1954. Wyeth, Parke-Davis and others follow suit.

1954 A study on 'neurologic sequelae of prophylactic innoculation' summarized state-of-the-art knowledge in noting that the common factor in the pathology of encephalitis from vaccination is 'anaphlactic hypersensitivity'.

1955 Georgia State public health officers meet in Atlanta (May 1955) to discuss what was going wrong with the Salk vaccine program. A U.S. Public Health scientist at the meeting told the group that 'he was not permitted to disclose what had happened because it would jeopardize the investment of the pharmaceutical firms in the vaccine program.'

1955 Measles death rate has naturally declined, without vaccines, to .03 per 100,000 by 1955.

1955 At the University of Illinois School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, Niels Low shows that the EEG of infants is sometimes altered by a DPT shot,concluding that significant cerebral reactions and neurological changes occur.

1955 American Cancer Society advertising circular states 'cancer will strike one of every four persons now living. More children from 3 to 15 years of age die of cancer than from any other disease.' (50 years before, cancer was unheard of in children). According to the ACS, they are predicting 6.4 million deaths from cancer, compared with 128,000 in 1933--an increase of 6.2 million cases in 22 years. Vaccination, pesticide use and chemical pollution are the main factors that have increased since 1933.

1955 Despite the sky rocketing cases of vaccine-induced polio, the AMA, NFIP and USPHS claim a reduction of 40-50%.

1955 Idaho brings its Salk vaccination program to a halt on July 1, 1955.

Utah does the same on July 12, 1955.

1955 Boston Herald newspaper reports on April 18, 1955, features an article entitled 'Drug Companies Expecting Big Profit on Salk Vaccine', which stated. 'A spokesman for Parke-Davis, which made 50% of the Salk vaccine, said 'now that it has been declared safe, we can get back the millions we invested in the development of the Salk vaccine and make a profit out of it. Our company will made over $10 million on Salk vaccine in 1955.'

1955 Rhodes and Company, Wall Street brokers specializing in drug securities, estimate that the gross revenue of the six vaccine houses licensed to produce and sell Salk vaccine would be about $60 million, with profits of $20 million.

1955 The CIA conducts a biological warfare experiment in the Tampa Bay area in Florida with agents withdrawn from an Army CBW center. A sharp rise in whooping cough (Pertussis) cases occurs, including 12 deaths, following the test.

1955 Washington Bureau of the Detroit Free Press reports, on June 3, 1955, that 'The USPHS reported that more children who received Salk shots made by the Wyeth Labs suffered polio more than could normally be expected;'

1955 AMA Conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Article by James C. Spaulding who covered the conference was published in the AMA Journal, June 19,

1955, 'A policy of secrecy and deception has been followed by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the US Public Health Service in the polio vaccine programs. The nation's physicians were prevented from learning vital information about the trouble with Salk vaccine. The US Public Health Service had an advisory group made up almost entirely of scientists who were receiving money from the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, which was exerting pressure to go ahead with the program even after Salk vaccine was found to be dangerous.' Spaulding further said, 'the Infantile Paralysis Foundation kept secret the fact that live virus was detected in four out of six supposedly 'finished and safe' lots of vaccine.'

1955 Salk Polio Vaccine again used in the US. Cases of polio skyrocket again in the United States.

1955 Reported that doctors on the staff of the National Institutes for Health are avoiding vaccination of their children with the Salk vaccine, and that after experimenting with 1200 monkeys, they declared the Salk vaccine worthless as a preventative and a danger to take.

1955 First vaccinated generation become adolescents.

1955 Massachusetts reports 642% increase in polio since vaccinations began in 1954 with vaccination of 130,000 children. In response, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis states that the increase in cases was due to the fact that 'no children were vaccinated there.'

1955 Massachusetts bans the sale of Salk vaccine.'

1955 Dr. Graham W. Wilson, director of Britain's Public Health Laboratory Service, who knew about the NIH Salk vaccine trials, says 'I do not see how any vaccine prepared by Salk's method can be guaranteed safe.'

1955 US Surgeon General Scheele admits in a closed session of the AMA that 'Salk polio vaccine is hard to make and no batch can be proven safe before given to children'. Despite this fact, the public is told that the vaccine is safe. The government announces that it has the intention to vaccinate 57 million people before August 1955.

1955 Surgeon General Scheele (who never practiced medicine a day in his life!) goes on public radio saying 'I have complete confidence in the Salk vaccine. I urge doctors to continue vaccinations.'

1956 Seventeen states in the United States reject their government-supplied Salk polio vaccine.

1956 US government appropriates $53.6 million to 'aid states in providing free vaccine to people under 20 years of age'.

1956 Idaho health director Peterson states that polio only struck vaccinated children in areas where there had been no cases of polio since the preceding autumn. In 90% of the cases, the paralysis occurred in the arm in which the vaccine had been injected.

1956 American Public Health Service announces 168 cases of polio and 6 deaths among those vaccinated. Censorship is then imposed on the reporting of reactions to Salk vaccine.

1956 Oral polio vaccine developed further by Sabin.

1956 The US Public Health Service and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (Rockefeller) put on a drive to 'sell' Salk polio vaccine to the public.

1957 Governor Knight of California asks the legislature for $3 million in order to insure vaccination for all those under 40 years old with Salk polio vaccine. The newspapers report that corporate profits from the Salk vaccine will be in excess of $5 billion. (Feb 6, 1957). Governor Knight notes there are 4 million Californians under 40 and signs the bill.

1957 Pertussis vaccination programs exist in all industrialized nations, with the US leading the way. The vaccine is promoted as 'risk free'.

1957 Scientists isolate a series of Simian (monkey) viruses and discover that these same viruses contaminate polio vaccines. SV-40 found in both Sabin and Salk polio vaccines. (made since early '50s), Information not made public. The same vaccines continued to be used until the early 1960's.

1958 World literature now contains 107 cases of severe reaction to Pertussis vaccine (93 of those cases were in the US). At the Fountain Hospital in London, Dr. J.M. Berg analyzed the 107 cases and found that 31 of them showed signs of permanent brain damage. Berg calls attention to the danger of mental retardation as an effect of the Pertussis vaccine and emphasizes that 'any suggestion of a neurological reaction to a Pertussis vaccination should be an absolute contraindication to further inoculation.' The United States medical establishment ignores and suppresses the data. American physicians maintain that the damage caused is small compared to 'lack of 'serious' reactions in children vaccinated.' No data has ever been found to justify a basis for this conclusion.

1958 Verdict of $147,000 rendered against Cutter Laboratories in California for the crippling of two children with the Salk polio vaccine. Cutter Labs was the only vaccine manufacturer not part of the Rockefeller Trust.

1959 The United States never conducts its own clinical trials on Pertussis vaccine, but instead relies (as it still does today) on data collected by Britain's Medical Research Council in clinical trials in England in the 1950's for 'proof of vaccine safety and effectiveness in newborns and children.' Interestingly, Britain's trials on 50,000 British children were performed on children more than 14 months old. None of the children were newborns.

1959 National Institutes of Health (NIH) approves licensing of Quadrigen vaccine for children, containing Pertussis, Diptheria, Tetanus and Polio vaccines. The new combination vaccine was found to be highly reactive and was withdrawn from the market in 1968 after parents started filing lawsuits against Parke- Davis for vaccine damaged children.

1959 Pertussis vaccine found to have allergenic effect on animals.

1960 British Medical Journal publishes an article by Swedish vaccine researcher Justus Strom, who stated that the neurological complications from the disease Pertussis are less than that in the Pertussis vaccine. Strom also pointed out that 'whooping cough (Pertussis) had changed and had become a milder disease, making it questionable whether universal vaccination against it is justified.'

1960 General vaccination program for measles begins in the United States.

1960 It is estimated in 1960 that over 1,000,000 children have vaccine-caused disabilities, including learning difficulties and school behavioral problems, behavioral disturbances, allergies, speech difficulties, visual problems, and problems in adjustment and coping.

1961 A senior school medical officer in Northern England, J.M. Hooper, finds that parents are beginning to refuse to bring children for a Pertussis booster shot, based on earlier violent reaction to the 'vaccination.' Children were suffering from collapse, vomiting, and uncontrollable screaming. No one paid attention to these warnings.

1961 Sabin polio vaccine immunization campaign.

1963 American researcher John F. Enders creates a measles vaccine. Mass inoculations begin.

1963 Children vaccinated with killed measles vaccine between 1963 and 1967 develop Atypical Measles Syndrome (AMS). Studies suggest the children's response to the 'wild' measles virus is 'altered' and that the severity and persistence of symptoms suggests encephalopathy (brain damage.) See 1967.

1964 Reward of $30,000 offered to prove polio vaccine was not fraud. No takers.

1965 US Government's leading Pertussis vaccine specialist, Margaret Pittman, (until 1971) states, 'Bordetella Pertussis is unique among infectious bacteria in its marked ability to modify biological processes.'

1965 Congress passes the Immunization Assistance Act. More states made their vaccination programs mandatory/obligatory.

1967 The FDA stops the use of an experimental cancer vaccine which was producing significant results. Developed by James Rand and Eernest Ayre, a recognized cancer specialist. The Rand vaccine produced significant improvement in terminal patients in over 30% of patients. It cured tumors and breast cancer in four to six months, without radiation, surgery or chemotherapy. The FDA Commissioner was James L. Goddard, the same man who persecuted the use of DMSO. Goddard used the DMSO issue in 1966 in an attempt to foster a medical dictatorship in the US in collusion with the medical and pharmaceutical industries, and remove viable treatments from public access.

1967 At the Bland-Sutton Institute of Middlesex Hospital in London, George Dick writes, 'it has been long known that increasing the number of Pertussis bacteria per dose of vaccine increases the frequency of reactions. It would be surprising if decreasing the size of the infants receiving a particular vaccine did not also increase the reactions.' A violation of a standard axiom in medicine, which matches the size and weight to an amount of substance. (Why are newborns getting the same dosage as an adult?).

1967 Dr. Vicent Fulginiti, M.D., former chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases, asserts that inactivated measles vaccine should no longer be administered. See 1963.

1967 Killed measles vaccine is discontinued in the United States.

1967 General vaccination program for Mumps begins in the United States.

1967 Science magazine (10/20/67) features article on Joshua Lederberg of the Department of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine. Lederberg notifies the scientific world that 'live viruses (as in vaccines) are genetic messages used for the purpose of programming human cells' and 'we already practice biological engineering on a rather large scale by use of live viruses in mass immunization campaigns'

1970 Due to the increasingly mild nature of whooping cough (Pertussis), infant deaths cease from naturally acquired Pertussis in Sweden. Deaths associated with vaccine continue. Sweden stops Pertussis vaccination in 1970.

1970 A study by Pittman reveals Pertussis vaccine can induce hypoglycemia due to increased production of insulin. (Ref: DPT shots). Study is corroborated in 1978 by Hannick and Cohen and by Hennessen and Quast in West Germany. Result: Pertussis and DPT vaccines can cause diabetes.

1972 British Journal of Psychiatry #120 reveals that 'psychotic disorders may be caused by viral infections.' (Ref: viruses induced by vaccines).

1972 WHO begins its "Special Programme" in human reproduction with programs for both male fertility control through vaccines and female fertility control.

1972 the World Health Organization (WHO) Bulletin No.47 refers to creation of an immune virus and suggests that a useful way to study the effects would be "to put it into a vaccination program and observe the results." It is theorized that WHO used the smallpox vaccination program in Central Africa for this study, since the spread of HIV infection coincides precisely with the most intense and recent smallpox vaccination campaigns. Information on the Central African countries most infected with HIV precisely matches WHO figures indicating the number of people vaccinated in these areas. The virus requested would selectively destroy the T-cell system. (1972 Federation Proceedings of WHO).

1973 The field of genetic engineering is opened by advances in scientific research, making way for creation of recombinant micro-organisms and new viral structures in the laboratory. The U.S. military applies the technology to its chemical and biological weapons program, claiming overtly that such work is 'to develop defensive vaccines'.

1974 British researcher George Disk estimates that there are 80 cases of severe neurological complications from Pertussis vaccine annually. Over 33% of these children died and another 33% were left with brain damage. Dick maintains he is not convinced that the community benefit from the vaccine outweighs the damage.

1974 The Association of Parents of Vaccine Damaged Children is formed in Britain, & pressures the government to study adverse reactions to Pertussis vaccine.

1974 Henry Kissenger writes a classified "National Security Study Memorandium 2000: Implications of worldwide population growth for U.S. security and overseas interest (NSSM 200)" which identifies India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Columbia as targets for initial population reduction. The Philippine Supreme Court found that 3 million Philippians between 12 and 45 years of age were given this vaccine. Native American Woman and Black women in the US received this vaccine. Sterility rates in Native American Women in the US is over 35%. Sterility rates in Black Women in the US is over 25%.

1975 Federal Drug Administration Bureau of Biologics concludes that Diphtheria toxoid (vaccine) is 'not as effective an immunizing agent as might be anticipated.' They admit that Diphtheria may occur in vaccinated people, and note that 'the permanence of immunity induced by the toxoid is open to question.'

1975 Japan stops using Pertussis vaccine following publicity about vaccine-related deaths.

1976 FDA Pertussis vaccine specialist Charles Manclark comments 'Pertussis vaccine is one of the most troublesome products to produce and assay. It has one of the highest failure rates of all products submitted to the Bureau of Biologics for testing and release. Approximately 15-20% of all lots which pass manufacturer tests fail to pass the tests of the Bureau.'

1976 According to a letter from the British Association for Parents of Vaccine Damaged Children, published in the British Medical Journal of February 1976, 'two years ago we started to collect details from parents of serious reactions suffered by their children to immunizations of all kinds. In 65% of the cases referred to us, reactions followed 'triple' vaccinations. The children in this group total 182 to date. All are severely brain damaged, some are paralyzed, and 5 have died during the past 18 months. Approximately 60% of reactions (major convulsions, collapse, screaming) happened within 3 days and all within 12 days.

1976 Dr. Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine, says that analysis indicates that the live virus vaccine in use since the 1960's is the principle, if not sole cause of all polio cases since 1961.

1976 More than 500 people receiving flu vaccinations become paralyzed with Guilain-Barre Syndrome.

December 1976 No epidemic of Swine flu surfaces despite rapid approval and response to perceived threat following 1 death of a solder at Ft. Dix, NJ. Swine Flu inoculation program shut down after risk of death and polio like syndrome from the vaccination is found to be almost 12 times greater in vaccinated than un-vaccinated people. 5% of people afflicted die, 10% are crippled or maimed for life.

1977 A Blue Ribbon Panel is convened to investigate the reason for the drop in the general IQ of the United States. Seventy-nine theories were advanced, but none of them satisfactorily explained the drop in mental capacity of the US population. The idea that vaccines could be part of the problem was not brought up. Y.L. Warten, 1977. (The Prussian education system is also part of the problem, for those volkschuelen).

1977 The British government is pressured by the publicity following the new data about Pertussis and DPT vaccinations.

1977 The University of Glasgow in Scotland, Department of Community Medicine, Dr. Gordon Stuart, publishes a study analyzing 160 cases of adverse reaction and neurotoxicity following DPT vaccination. In 65 of those cases, reactions to DPT shots included convulsions, hyperactivity and severe mental defect. In a stern statement, Stuart says, 'it seems likely that most adverse reactions are unreported and/or overlooked.'

1977 The British government conducts the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study (NCES) which tests the connection between vaccinations and neurological disease.

1977 (Mar) Jonas and Darrell Salk warn live virus vaccines produce same disease.

1978 According to Charlotte Parker of the University of Texas Department of Microbiology, the nature of the organism Bordetella Pertussis means that different lots of vaccine made from the same strains sometimes show different properties.

1978 In the United States, the FDA finances and conducts a study at UCLA from January 1, 1978 to December 15, 1979 called 'Pertussis Vaccine Project: Rates, Nature and Etiology of Adverse Reactions Associated with DPT Vaccine'. The results of the study were published in Pediatrics in November.

1978 In England, Griffith studies pertussis vaccine reactions in children, noting a case in which a boy experiences brain damage 3 days after vaccination and dies 27 days later due to injection of triple vaccine.

1981 The unpublished contractors 'Final Report' was submitted to the FDA on March 18, 1980 (a year earlier) and contained revealing data. The study found a higher incidence of adverse reactions to the DPT shot than any previously reported in literature. After the study had run nine months, the FDA convened a Pertussis Symposium, at which it was revealed that 'the most striking finding in this preliminary analysis is the high frequency of persistent crying, episodes of convulsions and collapse following DPT immunization.' Because of these findings, the study was curtailed from the planned examination of 50,000 vaccinations to only 17,000. The UCLA FDA study also found that systemic reactions in the central nervous system were present in 50% of the vaccinations. Because of this potentially damaging information, the FDA placed an arbitrary time limit of 48 hours within which reactions had to occur, despite ongoing data which indicates that serious reactions occur after that time limit, in order to limit the statistical data and conceal the extent of the problem from the population. (See 1981).

1985 WHO Vaccines for smallpox and tetanus are laced with female reproductive hormones to induce permanent sterility to "eliminate 150 million excess Sub-Saharan Africans" according to WHO documents.

May 1987 the Times of London reported on its front page that smallpox vaccine administered by the World Health organization had triggered HIV/AIDS. 100 Million vaccinated Africans are at risk. Areas with highest vaccination rate show highest HIV/AIDS rates. Robert Gallo, discoverer of the HIV/AIDS virus, defends those figures and says, "AIDS researchers will keep their mouths shut because they are paid to do so."

In 1988, an FDA-sponsored follow-up study of the '18' children with neurological reactions concluded 'no significant neurological impairment.'

A 1988 re-examination of those same children by an independent researcher, pediatric neurologist Ronald Gabriel, not associated with the FDA, proved that the FDA lied--only 4 of the 18 were normal. The results were presented at a May 1980 meeting of the Institute of Medicine. Results indicate that encephalopathy is followed by subtle learning, behavioral and neurological problems. (Note: See the book Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: the Medical Assault on the American Brain, by Harris Coulter,1990. The FDA is continuously involved in criminal conspiracy and racketeering along with pharmaceutical and chemical companies in the United States.)

1978 Trials of Hepatitis B vaccine in New York City on non-monogamous males between 20 and 40 years old. Homosexuals receive a different vaccine.

1979 Two pediatricians in California report brain swelling associated with DPT vaccine administration.

1979 New rubella vaccine introduced. See 1988.

1979 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) funds a study which represents the first significant 'attempt' to evaluate reactions to the DPT shot. The study is conducted at the University of California (UCLA) and was published in Pediatrics in

1981. After studying 16,000 DPT and DT vaccination cases, they concluded that the Pertussis (P) element of the DPT shot was the element causing reactions. They also found that the incidence of all DPT reactions was much higher in the population than had been suspected or reported in the scientific literature. Despite these results, even in 1994 physicians promote Pertussis vaccine with confidence, pay little attention to identification of high risk children, and do not carefully observe contraindications. Parents are legally required to vaccinate their children with Pertussis before entering them in school. (See 1982)
1980 Estimated 2 million American children with vaccine-caused disabilities.

1981 At the headquarters of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the director of the OSHA office of carcinogenic identification, Dr. Peter Infante, pointed out that a Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) on formaldehyde was 'an important document assessing formaldehyde's cancer causing potential'. The top bureaucracy at OSHA were embarrassed at the release of the truth, and tried to dismiss Infante. On July 27th, Infante writes Dr. John Higginson, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), disagreeing with the IARC decision to conceal the carcinogenic nature of the substance. Formaldehyde is a common component of vaccines.

1981 Britain conducts the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study, and finds that there exists a significant correlation between serious neurological illness and Pertussis vaccination occurring within 7 days of the shot. In the US, the FDA limits statistical data to 48 hours in order to conceal damaging data and eliminate data on deaths and damage occurring after that period of time.

1981 Japan begins use of a new childhood Pertussis vaccine, recommended to be given as 4th and 5th dose. US vaccine used for 1st,2nd,3rd doses. 1981 In Britain, Dr. D.L. Miller reports to the NCES on an analysis of the first 1,000 cases of neurological illness. He reported 'a significant association was shown between serious neurological illness and Pertussis (also DPT) vaccine.'

1981 New England Journal of Medicine (11/26/81) publishes a study showing that tetanus vaccines cause T-cell ratios to drop below normal, with the greatest decrease after two weeks. The altered ratios were found to be similar to those found in AIDS victims.

1982 A reporter at WRC-TV in Washington, DC breaks a story on Pertussis vaccine reactions in the documentary 'DPT: Vaccine Roulette', which generally informs the American public that their children are at risk from Pertussis vaccinations. (See 1988)

1982 Homosexuals in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco get Hepatitis B vaccine.

1983 Bellman, Ross and Miller publish a study of 269 cases of infantile spasms which returns to the establishment position that 'DPT vaccines do not cause infantile spasms, but may trigger their onset in those children in whom the disorder is 'destined to develop'. (Note: Using this logic, if one can)

1983 Stanford University Study on Pertussis Vaccine. Lawrence Steinman and colleagues at Stanford University School of Medicine perform a study which reveals that children with allergies may overreact to Pertussis vaccine.

1984 - The 1984 Connaught Laboratory package insert for DPT vaccine cites a 1978 Scandinavian study linking the vaccine to the development of hemolytic anemia and warns that this is a contraindication. By 1991, they would remove this warning from their package inserts in order to conceal this data. This kind of anemia is typified by weakness and periodic loss of consciousness.

1984 A complaint was filed by a group of US physicians with the UN Center for Human Rights in Geneva, entitled 'A Complaint Against Medical Tyranny As Practiced in the United States of America: American Medical Genocide'; the existence of the report was suppressed by the Bush Administration and the media. Reprinted in The Leading Edge in Oct/Nov 1994.

1984 Shaywitz Study at Yale Medical School Pediatrics revealed that 'minimal brain damage is perhaps the most common and time-consuming problem in current pediatric practice.'

1984 Wyeth Laboratories package insert for DPT vaccine states, 'The occurrence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been reported following administration of DTP vaccine' and that 'approximately 85% of SIDS cases occur in the period 1 through 6 months of age, with the peak incidence at age 2 to 4 months.'

Two years later in 1986, the Wyeth insert stated, 'SIDS has occurred in infants following administration of DPT' but went on to state that 'one study showed that there was no causal connection'. (Note: One wonders who paid for and did that specific study.)

1984 CDC acknowledges that 60% of those receiving hepatitis vaccine are HIV +.

1985 Tests developed to detect simian viruses in vaccines.

1985 The Assistant Secretary of Health, Edward Brandt, Jr., M.D, testifies before a Senate Committee, 'every year 35,000 children suffer neurological complications because of DPT vaccine.' (May 3, 1985).

1985 Hemophilus Influenza type B (HIB) vaccine approved for general use in US. The HIB vaccine is often referred to as the 'meningitis' vaccine, but meningitis has several causes.

1986 150 lawsuits pending against DPT vaccine makers.

1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. Administered by the US Claims Court in Washington, DC, which does recognize an association between the DPT shot and infantile spasms. The court awarded $2 million to a body in 1989 relative to a reaction to DPT vaccine.

1986 National Health Survey finds that between 1969 and 1981, the prevalence of 'activity-limiting chronic conditions' in children increased by 44%, from 2.9 million children to 3.8 million children. Almost all of the increase happened between 1969 and 1975. Most of these conditions are readily associated with post-encephalitic syndrome. Childhood respiratory disease during this period increased 47%, childhood asthma increased 65% (with deaths from asthma increasing), mental and nervous system disorders increased 80%, personality and other non-psychotic disorders (behavior disorders, drug abuse and hyperactivity) increased 300%, diseases of the eyes and ears (especially otitis media) rose 120%, and cases of hearing loss in the ears rose 129%. All of these increases were identical in both high and low income groups. For the same period of time, levels of disease not associated with vaccine damage remained unchanged.

1986 Connaught Laboratory, manufacturer of DPT vaccine, changes the product info sheet to warn against 'allergies' and 'anaphylactic sensitivity'.

1986 Connaught Laboratories package insert for their DPT vaccine reads 'some data suggests that fever is more likely to happen in those who have had local reactions, and that local reactions are more likely to occur with increasing numbers of doses of DPT.'

1987 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) releases a study indicating that the Hib vaccine shows an efficacy (effectiveness) rate of 41%. Children were found to be 5 times more likely to contract the disease than those not vaccinated.

1987 66 Japanese victims of Pertussis vaccine receive huge damage awards from the Japanese government.

1988 Lederle Laboratories package insert for DPT vaccine reads 'Pertussis vaccine has been associated with a greater proportion of adverse reactions than many other childhood vaccinations. Local reactions are common after administration of DTP, occurring in 35-50% of recipients. Febrile [feverish] reactions are more likely to occur in those who have experienced such responses after prior doses.'

1988 Two scientific studies find that new rubella vaccine introduced in 1979 was found to be the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Epstein-Barr virus), an immune disorder first reported in 1982.

1988 Robert S. Mendelsohn M.D, publishes material indicating that Dr. John Seal of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease believes that 'any and all flu vaccines are capable of causing Guillain-Barre.'

1988 New 'conjugated' [joined together] Hib vaccine approved for use in children at least 18 months old in the United States. Hib = Hemophilus Influenza Type B.

July, 1989 after years of denial, a scientific paper demonstrates conclusively that WHO tetanus vaccines used in the Philippines contained female reproductive hormones, inducing permanent sterility without consent or knowledge of the women treated.
Tetanus toxoid is linked to the human reproductive hormone to overcome immunological tolerance to the hormone and prod the body of the woman into producing antibodies to her own reproductive hormones.

1990 Health Consciousness magazine features article entitled 'Live Virus Vaccines and Genetic Mutation' by H.E.Buttram, M.D, in which it is determined that 'the physical invasion of the human body by foreign genetic material may have the immediate effect of permanently weakening the immune system, setting in motion a new era of autoimmune diseases.'

1990 The US Public Health Service Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics considers high-pitched screaming after a Pertussis (DPT) vaccination an absolute contraindication to further Pertussis vaccine.

1990 Pediatric neurologist Dr. John H. Menkes, professor emeritus at UCLA, reports on 46 children experiencing neurological adverse reaction within 72 hours of a DPT shot. Over 87% of the children reacted with a seizure, 2 children died and most surviving children became retarded, with 72% having uncontrollable seizure disorders. Menkes conclude, 'Pertussis vaccine encephalopathy (brain damage) is not a myth but rather a serious complication of immunization.'

1990 U.S. Claims Court, as of October 31, 1990, indicates that 'several thousand claims for compensation from injuries or death caused by vaccines have already been filed.' National Vaccine Information Center.

1990 Estimated 3 million in US with vaccine-caused disabilities.

1990 In December of 1990, a federal regulation was adopted permitting the FDA to circumvent US and International laws forbidding medical experimentation on unwilling subjects. This regulation permits the FDA to inject American military with unapproved experimental drugs or vaccines without informed consent. The FDA merely needs to deem it 'not feasible' to obtain the soldiers permission. See Health Letter, Washington, DC. Public Citizens Health Research Group '400,000 Human Guinea Pigs in the Persian Gulf', Feb 12, 1991. See 1991 Gulf War Entry.

June 1990, Court case reveals that babies in Los Angeles were used as human guinea pigs with a experimental measles vaccine called Edmonston Zagreb high titer measles vaccine (E-Z ). From 1989-1991, Kaiser Permanente and LA County Dep't of Health and CDC injected 700+ "mostly minority" babies with unlicensed experimental vaccines with fraudulently-obtained parental consent. E-Z is closely associated with increased death rate in infant girls in Sendgal, Guneau Bisseau, and Haiti before their second birthday. Most of the families are not aware to date that their child was used as a human guinea pig.

1991 Operation Desert Storm. Bush stops war after 100 hours at preserve Iraq as a threat. American troops are given experimental vaccines against biological agents. Within months thousands of troops sicken with the acids that cause cancer. Disease deemed 'Gulf War Syndrome'. Government denies responsibility. Over 8,000 troops were vaccinated with Botulism, over 150,000 troops were given anthrax vaccine, and all 500,000 troops were given Pyristigimine, an experimental nerve agent. All drugs were experimental.

1991 New York Times, Mar 17th, 1991 'US Vaccine Plan Uses Welfare Offices' indicates the Federal government has considered denying welfare and nutritional benefits to families who refuse vaccinations.

1991 The US Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) drafts new guidelines which eliminate most contraindications to Pertussis vaccine. Essentially, this results in a denial or cover-up of most reactions on the grounds that 'there is no proof the vaccine causes brain ' They base their position on several studies financed by vaccine manufacturers conducted in the late 1980's by vaccine policymakers such as Dr. James Cherry and Dr. Edward Mortimer, who sit on the ACIP Committee and are also paid consultants to US Pertussis vaccine manufacturers, resulting in biased and flawed studies in order to prove 'no cause and effect' between the Pertussis vaccine and permanent brain damage. US vaccine policymakers are the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics. All this, despite decades of experience indicating the opposite conclusion. (Note: This policy constitutes criminal neglect, racketeering and conspiracy!).

1991 The 'conjugated' Hib vaccine introduced in 1988 is extended for use in infants as young as two months. It becomes mandated in 44 states in the US.
--The Olympian, Nov 23, 1994. Pertussis also can cause Sudden Infant Death.

1991 The CDC begins the process of mandating Hepatitis B vaccinations for all infants in the United States. Many infants receive multiple doses from birth.

1992 Lancet, Journal of the British Medical Association, reports (3/7/92) that the oral polio vaccine used in the mid 1970's to treat recurrent herpes was contaminated with a number of potentially dangerous retroviruses, and may have seeded HIV among Americans'.

1992 Article in the Washington Post, Nov 2, 'On Vaccinating Safely' and Dec 14th press release by the National Vaccine Information Center indicate release by the FDA of a report acknowledging more than 17,000 adverse events-- including more than 350 deaths--following vaccination, all in a 20 month period ending July 31,

1992. Reported events number far less than actual events, so number is actually larger, perhaps 170,000 or more. 1992 From 1988 to 1992, over $249 million has already been awarded due to hundreds of deaths and injuries caused by mandated vaccines. Thousands of cases are still pending. The permanent injuries from vaccines include, but are not limited to, learning disabilities, seizure disorders, mental retardation, and paralysis. Many of the awards for pertussis vaccine deaths were initially (and wrongfully) misclassified as Sudden Death Syndrome (SIDS).

1992 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 87% of all cases of polio in the United States between 1973 and 1983 were caused by the vaccine. The CDC also said that every case from 1980 to 1989 was caused by vaccine.

March 19, 1992, Dr. David Heymann, head of the office of research for the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS, and Harvard pathology professor William Haseltine refuse to discuss the possibility of AIDS transmission via vaccines. Dr. Heymann states in a phone interview from Geneva, "The origin of the AIDS virus is of no importance to science today. Any speculation on how it arose is of no importance." Haseltine is even more adamant. "It's distracting, it's nonproductive, it's confusing to the public, and I think it's grossly misleading in terms of getting to the solution of the problem. It's over, it's done with, it's very, very, very unlikely it happened that way, and it's another nonsense article. It's the worst kind of reporting as far as I'm concerned."

1993 Clinton administration announces plans for a National Childhood Vaccination Program. 103rd Congress introduces S732,S733,HR1460, legislation that would attempt to vaccine all children in the United States, while severely limiting exemptions parents could claim. The bills also seek to set up a national vaccine registry to track down parents who resist.

1993 Seattle Times reports that all polio in the US is caused by vaccines. (6/10/93).

1993 The US Army directs Walter Reed Army Institute of Research to sign an agreement with MicroGeneSys in Meridan, Connecticut for a 'large scale clinical evaluation' of an AIDS vaccine designed to block destruction of the immune system. The VaxSyn vaccine uses a genetically engineered protein that matches a protein called (gp160) that covers the surface of the HIV virus. (Note: That the HIV virus is harmless and does not 'cause AIDS' is known, illustrating that the military is in on the AIDS scam). See Duesberg material.

1993 WHO committees more than $356 million on "reproductive health" research. Funding for abortificant (abortion producing) vaccine comes from many sources.

1. $90+ million contributed by Sweden
2. $52+ million contributed by Great Britain
3. $41 million contributed by Norway
4. $27 million contributed by Denmark
5. $12 million contributed by Germany
6. $5.7 million contributed by US
7. $61 million contributed by UNFPA
8. $15.5 million contributed by World Bank
9. $2.5 million contributed by Rockefeller Foundation
10. $1+ million contributed by Ford Foundation
11. $716.5 thousand contributed by IDRC (International Research and Development Centre of Canada)

1994 Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology use genetic engineering to alter a Polio virus (Sabin type) to allow it to carry two key genes from the HIV virus, plus proteins from both cholera bacteria and influenza virus, in a misguided attempt to create an 'AIDS vaccine' by induction of immune reaction to foreign proteins. (San Francisco Chronicle 9/2/94)

1994 Sweden reports the testing of a 'new safer Pertussis vaccine' to combat whooping cough (what is now a relatively mild disease). According to an article in The Olympian, Olympia, Washington, it 'could be available in the United States, according to federal health officials.' According to the article 'the vaccine could mean the end of rare, severe side effects associated with the Pertussis/whooping cough vaccine.' (Note: On the contrary, the evidence proves the Pertussis organism found in Pertussis 'vaccine', whether bred in live tissue ('live' virus) or dead tissue ('killed virus'), causes brain damage and other pathology in humans).

1889 Protégé's of Louis Pasteur, Emile Rouz & Alexandre Yersin grew a broth thick with diphtheria bacteria and used compressed air to force the broth through a filter of unglazed porcelain.

NO bacteria or solids could pass through the porcelain - only liquid.

They then sterilized the liquid.

They took the sterilized liquid of diphtheria toxin and injected into animals.

The liquid killed the animals not the bacteria!

According to Dr. Young, this early scientific test showed that a liquid toxic acid kills, not a bacteria or fungi. The major contributors to an acidic body that leads to irritation, inflammation, induration, ulceration and degeneration are as follows:

1) Nitric, sulphuric, phosphoric and uric acids from animal proteins including eggs.

2) Lactic acids from dairy products.

3) All sugars including herbal sugars which are all acids including glucose and ethanol alcohol.

4) Vinegar which is diluted acetylaldehyde an acid that destroys brain cells.

5) All mushrooms and algae which break down dead bodies.

6) Peanuts and corn which produce exotoxins and mycotoxins.

7) All fermented foods including soy sauce.

8) Antibiotics which are mycotoxins.

9) Anti-fungals which are stronger mycotoxins.

10) All vaccinations are full of exotoxins and mycotoxins.

1994 Dr. Robert O. Young discovers the pH factor in triggering biological transformation of the red blood cells into bacteria and yeast.

1994 Dr. Robert O. Young discovers that there is only one sickness and one disease and that is the over-acidification of the blood and tissues due to an inverted way of living eating and thinking.

1994 to the present the increase of Autism is at epidemic proportions - 1 in 90 boys and 1 in 150 girls are affected. Dr. Young has suggested that this is a result of congestion of the bowels from eating animal proteins and dairy as well as vaccinations and antibiotics that destroys the root system or intestinal villi of the small intestine - the focal point where new blood is produced.

1994 to the present the increase of breast cancers is now 1 in 3 and the increase of prostate cancers in men is now 1 in 2. Dr. Young has suggested that this is a result of antibiotic and anti-fungal use, vaccination and an acidic lifestyle and diet.

March 1997 zero confirmed "H5N1" human cases exist anywhere in the word. The U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Ft. Detrick, Rockville, Maryland, the US research center for biological weaponry, commissions Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger to lead a research team to ISOLATE the 1918 Flu Virus' genetic code, the most lethal pathogen in history.

Aug. 24, 1997 Brevig, Alaska. Research Team member Johan Hultin sends well-preserved 1918 flu virus specimens (from a frozen body killed by the 1918 flu) to Dr. Taubenberger's lab in Maryland.
Days later, Taubenberger detects the genetic fragments for which he has been searching. The 1918 virus' RNA-based gene fragments are analyzed by computer sequencing in order to reveal its complete genetic code. Even with a super-computer, this code sequencing will take years to complete.

April 2000 Observer Newspaper rerports Glaxo, Pfizer, Squibb and Genentec experimented on children at Incarnation Children's Center, NY. Incarnation Children's Center is run by Columbia University which was paid to experiment on children, mostly wards of the state minority children. Babies as young as 6 months were injected with double doses of experimental measles vaccine.
Children as young as 4 were given multi-drug cocktails. More than 100 orphans and babies were used in 36 experiments.

November 28, 2002, a rider tacked onto the end of the Homeland Security Bill confers immunity from liability prosecution on Eli Lilly and other manufacturers of vaccines.

October, 2003 Taubenberger's team finally deciphers the deadly 1918 flu virus' entire genetic code - completing a 6 year project. Taubenberger's colleague, R.G. Webster, publishes article in American Scientist Magazine declaring: "The world is teetering on the edge of a flu pandemic that could kill a large fraction of the human population".

October, 2004 Dmtry Lvov, head of the Russian Virology Institute declares that up to one billion people around the world could die during the next pandemic.

June, 2005 at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York (alleged to be Rockefeller controlled), Taubenberger,Peter Palese and Adolfo Garcia-Sastro create plasmids, or DNA rings, from the 1918 killer virus, permanently "stabilizing" its genetic material for use as a biological weapon. This is the final step in revitalizing the deadly pathogen but the press is told tit will only to be used as a "vaccination tool" - even though the disease is currently non-existent.

August, 2005 Taugenberger's team inserts plasmids into human kidney cells which then transfers human DNA into the virus making it "human specific." The 1918 virus, responsible for the death of millions around the world is now ready for use by humans

Sept. 9, 2005 the UN in New York City issues a world-wide press release introducing David Nabarro as the "UN System Senior Coordinator for Avian, Human Influenza".

Sept. 29, 2005 Nabarro issues an "Official U.N. Warning" that "an outbreak of 'avian influenza' would kill between 5 million and 150 million people on each continent."

Oct. 2005 Pres. Bush's newly appointed secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS, the parent organization of both the CDC and the FDA), former Utah Governor Mike O. Leavitt, intensifies multi-billion Pandemic Bird Flu preparations.

Dec. 2005 Bush solicits Congress for $7.1 Billion to fund "preparations" --- $3.3 billion is immediately allocated to Leavitt's HHS.

January 24, 2006 the Department of Homeland Security awards KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, a $385 million contract for US detention centers.

Jan. 2006 Leavitt launches website - www.pandemicflu.gov - on which he says: "Let me be clear. It is only a matter of time before we discover H5N1 in America. The migration patterns of the wild fowl that carry the virus makes it appearance here almost inevitable!" China hosts the "International Pledging Conference on Avian and Human Influenza" in Beijing and is promised massive sums of money from the west --- Leavitt alone commits $334 million in funds to aid China's research into "vaccine development." Leavitt has a long history of fostering Chinese trade activities as Utah's Governor.

March 2006 breaking new ground, Leavitt's HHS allocates funds to a private television network to produce a "made-for-TV" movie about the "bird flu." Leavitt jokes that he wants "the handsomest actor" to play his character. Leavitt declares on HHS website (exactly as John D. Rockefeller declared in 1916): "The best defense against influenza is VACCINATION." Leavitt further declares: "The current U.S. capacity for manufacturing egg-based vaccines is not sufficient to supply our entire population. HHS is supporting research into [human kidney] cell-based vaccine manufacture of producing vaccine domestically.

April, 2006 HHS announces a $97 million contract for the development of cell-based flu vaccine. Leavitt declares: "The FDA can use its Emergency Use Authorization authority to permit the use of unapproved products if there's a reasonable belief the products may be effective." 32 states pass laws which make resisting inoculation once ordered by the governor a felony.
These laws join Patriot Act I, II, BARDA, BIOSHIELD I, II in making drug treatment and inoculation mandatory once a Pandemic is called. Unlimited quarantine without review is mandated under these laws for those who resist inoculation under Pandemic conditions. Fully staffed, empty detention centers exist all over North America. The largest, in Alaska, is rumored to have a 2.5 million person capacity.

December, 2006 New York Times reports Gulf War Syndrome positively linked to vaccination of Veterans. More than 100,000 vets contracted the syndrome during the 1991 Desert Storm Operation. More than 20,000 vets have died to date from this syndrome believed to be triggered by squalene, a vaccine "adjuvant." All modern vaccines contain squalene.

April 17, 2007 The Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) branch of HHS utilizes its Emergency Use Authorization authority and awards a license to produce H5N1 "Bird Flu" vaccines to Sanofi-Pasteur.
FDA Bird Flu approval letter states: "We have approved your Biologics License Application (BLA) for Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, effective this date. You are hereby authorized to introduce or deliver for introduction into interstate commerce, Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, under your existing Department of Health and Human Services U.S. License No. 1725; however, we acknowledge your statement provided in your submission of April 5, 2007, that Sanofi Pasteur Inc. does not intend to license this product for commercial distribution, since it was produced under contract to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of national pandemic preparedness initiatives. Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, is indicated for active immunization of persons 18 through 64 years of age at increased risk of exposure to the H5N1 influenza virus subtype contained in the vaccine." Among the required post-market studies on this untested vaccine are;

1. Protocol submission: Study DMID 04-077: "A randomized, double-blinded, phase I/II, study of the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of intramuscular inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine in healthy children aged 2 years through 9 years."

2. Final study report submission: September 30, 2008.Study DMID 04-076: "A randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase I/II, dose-ranging study of the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of intramuscular inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine in healthy elderly adults."

3. Study DMID 05-0043: "Re-vaccination of healthy subjects with intramuscular inactivated subunit influenza A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) vaccine representing a drifted variant.

4. "Study DMID 05-0090: "Evaluation of a booster dose of A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) vaccine administered at 6 months to healthy adult subjects after a two dose schedule at 0 and 1 month."

5. Study DMID 05-0129: "Open label evaluation of H5N1 vaccine at vaccine manufacturing facilities."

6. Study DMID 05-0130: "A single center, open label, phase I/II study of the safety and immunogenicity of two 90 µg doses of intramuscular inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine in healthy adult subjects."

Nov. 26, 2007: Leavitt's HHS orders 100 million H5N1 "vaccines [doses]" from Sanofi-Pasteur. Expected delivery date, August, 2008. Sanofi-Pasteur issues a press release announcing their lucrative HHS contract (100 million vaccines @ $15 USD each) and declares that the cell-based vaccine will be mass produced in the company's CHINA facility - then shipped to Stillwater, PA for hypodermic syringe-friendly packaging. Approval and contract have all been consummated in the absence of official human testing.

Jan. 2008 covert 'human trials' of Sanofi-Pasteur H5N1 vaccine is conducted on 350 homeless vagrants in Poland. According to London Telegraph:
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/2235676/Homeless-people-die-after-bird-flu-vaccine-trial-in-Poland.html)

and Examiner articles, this results in 21 "instant" deaths and over 200 severely incapacitated or hospitalized." Development and sales of H5N1 vaccine continues.

February 14, 2008 U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, and Canadian Air Force Lt.-Gen. Marc Dumais, commander of Canada Command, sign a Civil Assistance Plan that allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a civil emergency. "Our commands were created by our respective governments to respond to the defense and security challenges of the twenty-first century, and we both realize that these and other challenges are best met through cooperation between friends.... The plan facilitates the military-to-military support of civil authorities once government authorities have agreed on an appropriate response." Avian Flu response is a part of NorthCom's mission, and according to Gen. Stubblebine's analysis, appears to be the primary element in its mission:

http://www.northcom.mil/Avian%20Flu/index.html

March 2008 Haruna Kaita, a pharmaceutical scientists and head of a Nigerian University analyzed the latest WHO vaccine in Indian labs. Sterility agents were among the contaminants found in the samples. According to the local population of the Akha, a Thai hill tribe, pregnant women are forced to receive the vaccine in order to get ID cards for their children. Violent still births and miscarriages result.

June 17, 2008 Dr. David Nabarro, UN Influenza Coordinator, welcomes a donation of 60 million doses of H5N1 Avian Flu vaccine by Sanofi-Pasteur. This adds to the stockpile of a previous donation of 30 million doses by GlaxoSmithKline Dr. Nabarro said that good progress had been made but Avian Flu could still kill as many of 150 million people. Avian Flu still entrenched in Viet Nam, Bangladesh, India, Egypt and India [sic] says Dr. Nabarro. Outbreaks recorded in 60 more countries according to US Influenza Coordinator. But the people who make vaccines are ethical and look out for our best interests don't they? The cold, hard fact is that vaccine makers are neither ethical nor concerned with health and longevity of their recipients.

Remember: vaccination remains an un-insurable risk: no parent, physician or pharmaceutical company can buy insurance against vaccine induced harm. The insurance industry refuses to accept the risk. That's why Congress created the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program that is funded by a special tax added to the cost of each vaccine shot: we pay to protect pharmaceutical company profits.

Vaccines can be used for a great deal more than just for what it says on the label. After all, faced with a syringe of fluid, who is to say exactly what is in there and what the intended, or unintended outcomes of being injected will be?

Shielded by the FDA, vaccine (and drug) manufacturers are immune from prosecution for wrong doing and continue to do wrong with horrifying impunity.

Magnesium is Essential for Extraordinary Health and Fitness

A lack of magnesium chloride accelerates aging or
fermentation of human cells, which may explain the
link between any long-term deficiency and a higher
risk of aging-related dis-eases, a study released
just a few months ago.

Magnesium chloride is essential for hundreds of
biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain
normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm
steady, and keeps bones strong.

Yet research has shown that, at least in the United
States, more than half the population is lacking in
magnesium due to deficiencies in their diet,
potentially increasing their risk of cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and
many cancerous conditions.

To try to understand why magnesium deficiency
predisposes people to dis-ease, Bruce Ames and
researchers at Children's Hospital Oakland Research
Institute in California studied the long-term
effects of moderate magnesium deficiency on human
fibroblasts, cells that provide a structural
framework for many tissues in the body.

They cultured the cells for their entire lifespan,
a period of three to four months, to mimic the
effects of a lack of magnesium in the study which
appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences.

They found that while the cells survived and divided
normally under moderate magnesium-depleted conditions,
they appeared to become older quicker than cells grown
in normal magnesium concentrations.

"Magnesium deficiency affects the way the cells age.
Accelerated cellular aging affects the way tissue
functions," said David Killilea, an associate staff
scientist in the Nutrition and Metabolism Center at
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute.

"We are now thinking that cellular consequences of
magnesium deficiency may be driving long-term chronic
disease."

Ames and Killilea suggested the markers of accelerated
cellular aging in magnesium-deficient cells may
indicate that the cells were in triage mode, saving
resources for indispensable metabolic processes at
the expense of long-term function.

As for diagnosing and treating chronic moderate
magnesium deficiency, there is no good laboratory
marker for this type of condition. It tends to fly
under the radar, the scientists said.

"You could be moderately deficient for a long time
and not know it," said Killilea.

Food sources rich in the micronutrient magnesium
include all green vegetables and fruits such as
spinach, parsley, leafy greens, avocado, cucumber,
nuts, and seeds.

I would also suggest magnesium in the form of
magnesium chloride for building healthy cells,
magnesium carbonate for buffering excess metabolic
and dietary acids and magnesium oxide for detoxing
the alimentary canal of food and drink acid.

You will find these three forms of magnesium in
Young pHorever Liquid Magnesium for building
healthy cells, Young pHorever pHour salts for
buffering excess metabolic and dietary acid,
Young pHorever pHlush for detoxing the alimentary
canal of food and drink acid and finally the Young
pHorever pHlavor salts for energy and conductivity.

Increase Your Carotenoids For Long-Term Health

Carotenoids are a group of phyto-chemicals that are
a powerful alkalizing weapon against dietary and
metabolic acids that cause cancer. They are found
in leafy green, yellow, and some white vegetables
and many fruits.

Over 600 carotenoids are found in nature, 50 of
which are used in the human diet. Of these,
beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-crytoxanthin,
and gamma-carotene can be converted by the body
into vitamin A. In this transformation, only the
amount of vitamin A needed for health is generated,
and the rest remains as the original carotenoids.
For example, whether you take 10,000 IU of beta-
carotene or a million, the amount of vitamin A
produced in the body remains the same. This makes
the carotenoids a very safe way to get your vitamin A.

Studies show that mixing some vitamin A with the
carotenoids is especially beneficial for healthy
white blood cells and for preventing any cancerous
condition. Each of the various types of carotenoids
has a different function in the body and also
accumulates in different concentrations in various
tissues and organs.

For example, lycopene from tomato, lutein from avocado
and beta and alphacarotene concentrate in the cervix
or prostate, thus playing a major role in preventing
cervical or protstate cancer. Alphacarotene, but not
beta-carotene, plays a major role in protecting the
lungs and in preventing cancerous lungs. Astaxanthin
plays a role in restoring healthy active white blood
cells in the elderly. Lycopene is especially efficient
in preventing breast and prostate cancer, while lutein
and zeaxanthin play a major role in protecting the
eyes and improving vision.

Another important function of the carotenoids is that
they stimulate detoxification, which is vital in
preventing cancerous condition and degenerative brain
disorders. A number of studies linked low blood carotene
levels with poor brain function in the elderly.

Extensive tests have shown no toxicity from even very
high doses of carotenoids, even in children and
infants. So, what about the study that linked beta-
carotene with increased rates of lung and prostate
cancer? First, the researchers used synthetic beta-
carotene with no accompanying vitamins and minerals.
All of the patients were heavy smokers, heavy drinkers,
or had been exposed to asbestos -- all factors which
contain high amounts of toxic acids, leading to
sickness and dis-ease.

Increasing your carotenoids and protecting your body
from lifestyle, dietary and metabolic acid is as simple
as drinking our new Doc Broc Power Plants.

Are You Losing Your Mind?

Are you drinking carbonated water or sugary
beverages? (This would include fruit juices,
exotic fruit drinks and energy drinks with
or without caffeine.) If you are, you are
risking losing your mind!

Sugary acidic beverages are part of the American
way of life, but five or more cans a day may raise
the risk of lightheadedness, muddle thinking, dizziness,
cold hands, cold feet, forgetfulness, foggy thinking,
memory loss, and Alzheimer’s dis-ease, according to a
new study by the American Society for Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology.

The research team, using mice genetically predisposed
to develop Alzheimer’s-like symptoms, added a 10
percent solution of acidic sugar water to the diet
of half the mice being tested. Over 25 weeks, the
acidic sugar-water mice gained 17 percent more weight
than the controls. They also developed insulin
resistance and had a higher cholesterol count.

When tested for mental function, the acidic sugar-water
mice scored lower on tests for memory retention and
learning ability. Upon examination of their brains,
they showed more than twice the amyloid acidic plaque
deposits found in the controls. In the brains of humans
with Alzheimer’s, beta-amyloids are the sticky acidic
proteins that form acid plaque deposits. A prior study
in 2006 also connected obesity with Alzheimer’s.

The researchers were not sure whether Alzheimer’s
symptoms were due to the acid sugar water itself or
to the combination of more advanced acidic conditions
like diabetes and obesity, which are known Alzheimer’s
risk factors. They said, however, that the study
highlights the “potential risk of sugary beverages.”
The amount of acid sugar water fed to the mice is
roughly equivalent to humans drinking five cans of
soda a day. The researchers said, “Although since
mice have a higher metabolism, it may actually take
less sugar intake in humans.”

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, "all
sugary beverages are acidic and will compromise
the alkaline design of the human body, leading
to sickness and dis-ease. When you add carbonic
acid with the sugary beverage found in all
carbonated water or soda drinks you might as
well plan on Alzheimer's symptoms unless you die
from a heart attack first. To experience
a heart attack, stroke, cancer or Alzheimer's
sooner in life just add caffeine with your
carbonated sugary drink. The important thing
to remember here (no pun intended) is no one
gets Alzheimer's, heart attacks, strokes, or
cancer - you have to do it with your lifestyle
and dietary choices. A healthy and fit body is
all about personal choices! Therefore, the
way to health, energy and fitness, throughout
life, is to make alkaline lifestyle
and dietary choices. If you follow this
simple advise you will never get sick and
you will never die from cancer, heart disease,
stroke, or end up losing your mind."

Further Truth and Evidence of Dr. Young's Acid/Alkaline Theory

Clean drinking water is something that the public
has pretty much taken for granted for the past
hundred years. The public has little idea--perhaps
understandably--just how contaminated our drinking
water has become. Our environment has changed, new
biological transformations are emerging, drinking-
water systems are aging, and governments seem more
interested in ensuring business in the global
marketplace than in ensuring the safety and health
of the world citizens.

Acid rain corrodes copper, lead, and galvanized
pipes. There are hundreds of agricultural pollutants,
including pesticides and fertilizer, industrial
pollutants including plasticizers, solvents, and
propellants; along with chemicals added to aid in
the coagulation of water can be of great concern
to water pollution.

A National Assessment of Tap Water Quality found
260 contaminants in our nation's tap water; 141
of these contaminants have no enforceable safety
limits. Of the 141 unregulated contaminants utilities
detected in water supplies between 1998 and 2003,
52 are linked to cancer, 41 to reproductive toxicity,
36 to developmental toxicity, and 16 to immune system
damage, according to chemical listings in seven
standard government and industry toxicity references.
Despite the potential health risks, any concentration
of these chemicals in tap water is legal, no matter
how high.

However, the EPA's own scientists have identified
600 chemicals in tap water formed as by-products
of disinfection--they tracked 220 million pounds
of 650 industrial chemicals discharged to rivers
and streams annually. They also spearheaded research
on emerging contaminants after the U.S. Geological
Survey found: 82 unregulated pharmaceuticals,
hormones, medications, and residues of consumer
products in rivers and streams across the country.

Intensive use of highly acidic antibiotics in human
and veterinarian medicine and in industrial farming
(food additives) has resulted in the transport of
significant quantities of the active ingredients
to environmental waters. All told, EPA has set
safety standards for fewer than 20 percent of the
many hundreds of chemicals that it has identified
in our drinking water.

Many of these compounds enter the human body through
our skin when we bathe or swim.

By failing to clean up rivers and reservoirs that
provide drinking water for hundreds of millions
of Americans, EPA and the Congress have forced water
utility companies to decontaminate water that is
polluted with industrial chemicals, factory farm
waste, sewage, pesticides, fertilizer, and sediment.
In its most recent national Water Quality Inventory
EPA found that 45 percent of lakes and 39 percent
of streams and rivers are "impaired"--unsafe for
drinking, fishing, or even swimming, in some cases.

Even after water suppliers filter and disinfect
the water, scores of contaminants remain, with
conventional treatment regimes removing less than
20 percent of some contaminants. By failing to set
tap water safety standards expeditiously or require
and fund comprehensive testing, EPA allows
widespread exposures to chemical mixtures posing
known risks to human health.

A Fractional Damage Assessment from Acid Rain

Acid rain is produced when nitrous oxide, sulphur
dioxide, and carbon dioxide gas in the upper
atmosphere react with water particles to produce
nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and carbonic acid
respectively. Unpolluted rainfall normally balanced
alkaline pH of about 7.1 to 7.3, whilst acid rain
has a pH that varies from 4.1 to 5.5.

Rainwater was naturally slightly alkaline because
it contained a small amount of dissolved carbon
dioxide gas. This forms a small amount of carbonic
acid. Acid rain contains abnormally high levels
of carbonic acid (from the excessive amounts of
carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere from
burning fossil fuel).

The word equation is:

Carbon dioxide + water = carbonic acid

When we burn fossil fuels (especially coal),
sulphur dioxide is made and released into the air.
When sulphur dioxide dissolves in rainwater, it
makes sulphuric acid.

Sulphur dioxide + water = sulfuric acid

Sulphur Dioxide reacts with a wide range of
substances found in food, including various
essential vitamins, minerals and essential
fatty acids.

Sulfuric acid is actually a mixture of acids in
high concentrations. Sulfuric acid is much
stronger than carbonic acid. It is extremely
corrosive and it causes damage to rocks, animals,
and plants.

Sulfuric acid can cause severe burns to all
body tissue and may be fatal if swallowed or
contacted with skin. It is harmful if inhaled;
it affects teeth; it is a cancerous hazard.
Strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric
acid can lead to cancerous tissues.

Nitrous oxides react with water vapor to
form nitric acid. Nitric acid is a highly
corrosive and toxic acid that can cause severe
burns.

Nitrous oxides + water = nitric acid

Nitric acid is a cancerous-causing agent. It is
also a powerful dehydrating agent, so powerful
that much of the damage it does to the human
body is because it pulls water even out of other
molecules in chemical reactions.

Apart from emissions of sulphur dioxide and
nitrogen oxides from the combustion of fossil
fuels, there are also other substances that
contribute to acid rain formation. These include
hydrochloric acid and organic carboxylic acids.
These organic acids include acetic acid and formic
acid and are formed when volatile organic
compounds are oxidized in the air.

Acid rain causes a cascade of effects that
harm or kill individual fish, reduce fish
population numbers, completely eliminating fish
species from a body of water, and decrease
biodiversity. Damages also show up in land
animals, affecting their behavior and feeding
patterns. Acid rain kills trees, crops, and
other vegetation; damages buildings and
monuments; corrodes copper, galvanized steel,
and lead piping; damages such manufactured
things as automobiles; and reduces soil fertility.

Acid rain can raise the level of heavy metals,
many of which are carcinogenic, teratogenic,
transforming, reproductive toxins, or neurological
toxins in drinking water supplies.

Pure acid water extracted from drinking water
will burn holes in the outer membranes of
micro-forms like parasites, bacteria, yeast,
and microscopic worms. Pure acid water will
transform parasites and their eggs, bacteria,
yeast and mold. Pure acid water has a strong
oxidation potential (a shortage of electrons)
giving it the ability to ferment, spoil and
sterilize. When extracted from drinking water
about one third of the water is acid water
(and the third part of the waters became wormwood).
Think of the effects it can have on the plant,
animal or human body.

Acid rain raises the level of heavy metals, some
of which are poisonous, in drinking water supplies.
Polluted acidic waters contain higher than average
levels of heavy and toxic metals, carbon monoxide,
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), photochemical
oxidants, and a laundry list of other toxins that
pose serious health threats.

Some acidic toxins enter the human body through
air, water, and/or through our skin (when we
bathe or swim many of these toxins are absorbed
through our skin). Other poisonous metals and
toxins that are dissolved into the rain water
are absorbed by the fruit, vegetables we eat.
All of the meat we eat is saturated with acidic
toxins that were absorbed through the skin and
into the tissue of the animals. In addition,
animals eat these plants and other animals,
perpetuating the cycle. Many heavy metals
are bio-accumulative and highly acidic. They can
accumulate in the soft tissues when the body
cannot metabolize them so they end up in the
connective and fatty tissues.

Acid rain contains caustic acids that tend to make
the pH of the human body more acidic. Drinking acidic
water can cause many serious dis-eases. All of the
water we drink (including bottled, purified,
reverse osmosis, and some distilled waters) contain
these acids. It can be difficult to balance the pH
of people consuming water loaded with these poisonous
acidic wastes.

Breathing acidic air fogs (including hot shower or
bath water) can damage our respiratory system. Some
of these acids are powerful dehydrating agents, so
powerful that much of the damage they do to the
human body is because they pull water even out
of other molecules in chemical reactions.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic
acidic chemicals that adversely affect human
health and the environment around the world.
Because they can be transported by wind and
water, most POPs generated in one country can
affect people and wildlife far from where they
are used and released. They persist for long
periods of time in the environment and can
accumulate and pass from one species to the
next through the food chain.

Although scientists have more to learn about
POPs acidic chemicals, decades of scientific
research have greatly increased our knowledge
of POPs' impacts on people and wildlife. For
example, laboratory studies have shown that
low doses of certain POPs adversely affect
some organ systems and aspects of development.
Studies also have shown that chronic exposure
to low doses of certain POPs can result in
reproductive and immune system deficits.
Exposure to high levels of certain POPs
chemicals - higher than normally encountered
by humans and wildlife - can cause serious
damage or death.

There are acids called dioxins and dioxin-like
compounds in the food supply. Dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds, or DLCs, are found
throughout the environment, in soil, water,
and air. People are exposed to these
unintentional environmental contaminants
primarily through the food supply, particularly
by eating animal fat in meat, dairy products,
and fish. Another reason to avoid eating acidic
animal flesh, dairy or fish.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, over 90% of our exposure to acidic
dioxins is through food, with major sources
including beef, dairy products, milk, chicken,
pork, fish, and eggs. Dioxins are also passed
from mother to developing infant across the
placenta and through breastfeeding. Dioxins,
PCBs, DDT and other organochlorines are among
the 200 plus chemicals found in human breast
milk today that can lead to a host of infant
dis-ease.

Acidic dioxins and related compounds are highly
persistent in the environment and in living
organisms. PCB's can remain in human connective
and fat tissue for decades. It is believed that
almost all living beings on earth have dioxin-
like compounds in their body tissues.

No amount of dioxin exposure can be considered
safe, as very small amounts have been associated
with impaired developmental, reproductive,
neurological, and immune function. Acidic dioxin
is one of the most toxic chemicals known to
humankind.

The cancerous risk from eating animal flesh
contaminated with acidic dioxin is another
clear warning that livestock foods have a
direct impact on human food quality and safety.

The health risks posed by the levels of acidic
dioxins in human foods and animal feeds have
yet to be ascertained by government officials.
Therefore, conveniently, governments do not
recommend regulatory limits on acidic dioxins
or dioxin-like compounds in food or feed
(even though PCBs and dioxin are known endocrine
disruptor's).

Nitrate is a chemical that enters water from
fertilizer runoff, leaching septic tanks, and
erosion of natural deposits. Potential health
impacts associated with the acid nitrite includes
cardiovascular or acidic blood toxicity, acidic
kidney toxicity, and acidic reproductive toxicity.

The acid nitrate is one of the most common
groundwater contaminants in rural areas. Fertilizer
nitrogen that is not taken up by plants, volatilized,
or carried away by surface runoff - leaches to the
groundwater in the form of the acid nitrate. Septic
systems also can elevate groundwater nitrate
concentrations because they remove only half of
the nitrogen in wastewater, leaving the remaining
half to percolate to groundwater.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of Nitrate
tests reported by 32,210 public water suppliers
in 41 states shows that between 1998 and 2003,
176 million people in 23,704 communities drank
acidic water contaminated with nitrate. In 657
of these communities, tap water was contaminated
at levels above health-based thresholds.

Nitrate occurs in the environment, in air, food
(particularly in vegetables and fruits) and
water, and is produced endogenously. It is also
used as a food additive, mainly as a preservative
and anti-microbial agent. It is used in foods
such as cheese and cheese products, raw and
processed meats, edible casings, processed fish
and fish products and spirits and liqueurs.

Since most of our produce is grown with potassium,
nitrogen, and phosphorous fertilizers, and
irrigated with water that is contaminated with
nitrate (and about 600 other contaminates),
the produce we eat contains unnaturally high
levels of nitrate. Synergistically unbalanced
and contaminated acidic food will not sustain
our health; it will actually poison us to death.

What are the health effects? Nitrates can react
with hemoglobin to reduce the oxygen-carrying
capacity of the blood. Nitrates may combine
with other substances to form nitrosamines,
which are carcinogenic, and it may have an
atrophying affect on the adrenal gland.

Short-term: Excessive levels of nitrate in
drinking water have caused serious illness
and sometimes death. In some parts of the
country, beets, turnips, carrots, collard
greens and spinach contain large amounts of
nitrates, a chemical that can cause an unusual
type of anemia (low blood count) in young infants,
referred to as methemoglobinemia or blue baby
syndrome. Symptoms include shortness of breath
and blueness of the skin. The serious illness
in infants is due to the conversion of nitrate
to nitrite by the body, which interferes
with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood;
blue baby syndrome can be an acute condition
in which health deteriorates rapidly over a
period of days.

Long-term: Nitrates and nitrites have the potential
to cause the following effects from a lifetime
exposure at levels above the maximum contaminant
level: excessive discharge of urine, increased
starchy deposits and hemorrhaging of the spleen.

Heavy metal aberrations found in our drinking water
are directly causative or associative with dis-ease
and ill health. A few examples are anemia,
cardiac conditions, depression, digestive problems,
high blood pressure, hormone imbalance, impaired
growth, infertility, insomnia, learning and
behavioral problems, osteoporosis, chronic
inflammation, and tumor proliferation.

Heavy metal toxins contribute to a variety of
adverse health effects. There are more than 65
different heavy metals and toxic acidic compounds
that impact human health.

Accumulation within the body can lead to a
decline in the mental, cognitive, and physical
health of the individual. Many of these pollutants
are carcinogenic, teratogenic, reproductive acidic
toxins, or neurological acidic toxins.

The increased acidity of rain also releases many
minerals that do not naturally occur or do not
belong in water at these disproportionate levels,
thus producing what is called hard water.

As a result, these acidic toxins are consumed
in drinking water or are ingested by plants,
animals, or aquatic life, which are then eaten
by humans.

When numerous metals are present in the body,
they have a "synergistic toxicity." Dr. Boyd Haley,
professor and chair of the chemistry department
at the University of Kentucky, performed a study
on rats and found that the mortality rate of
rats exposed to a small dose of mercury or
aluminum killed only 1 rat in 100. However, when
the rats were exposed to both mercury and
aluminum at the same time, all 100 rats
died - a 100% mortality rate.

Here are a few more ways that acid deposition
has altered and continues to alter our soils:

Acid deposition depletes calcium, magnesium,
and other base minerals from the soil - this
depletion of base minerals fundamentally alters
soil processes, compromises the nutrition of
crops, and hinders the capacity for sensitive
soils to recover.

Acid deposition facilitates the mobilization
of dissolved inorganic minerals into soil water -
the increased acidity of rain releases many
minerals that do not naturally occur or do not
belong in water at these disproportionate levels,
thus producing what is called hard water - as a
result, they are consumed in drinking water or
are ingested by plants, animals, or aquatic life,
which are then eaten by humans.

Acid deposition increases the accumulation of
sulfur and nitrogen in the soil.

To some extent all minerals compete for
absorption, compete for the same binding sites.
Studies have shown that excesses of particular
minerals can result in deficiencies in others;
likewise, deficiencies of some minerals promote
excesses of others. This mutual dependence
means not only are minerals required in optimal
amounts but also in relative amounts.

Severe health problems arising from human contact
with acidic toxic or hazardous wastes are
increasingly common.

The seriousness of this problem cannot be
underestimated in light of findings from the
World Health Organization (WHO) who revealed
that 60-80% of heavy metal toxins found in
human bodies in urban industrial areas were
the result of consuming contaminated foods
and water rather than through air pollution.

The burning of coal releases many contaminants
into the atmosphere, among these are mercury,
cadmium, arsenic, and lead.

MERCURY

Mercury occurs primarily in two forms: organic
mercury and inorganic mercury. Inorganic mercury
and elemental mercury are both toxins that can
produce a wide range of adverse health affects.
Inorganic mercury is used in thermometers,
barometers, dental fillings, batteries, electrical
wiring and switches, fluorescent light bulbs,
pesticides, fungicides, vaccines, paint,
skin-tightening creams, antiseptic creams,
pharmaceutical drugs, and other ointments.

Humans have the ability to convert this
inorganic mercury to an organic form once it
has become absorbed into the bloodstream.
Organic mercury is known to bio-accumulate
due to the body's inability to process and
eliminate it. Rain is contaminated with mercury
from coal-fired electric plants and the burning
of fossil fuel. Mercury is one of the heavy
metals that cause dangerous inflammation in
body tissues. Acidification increases bio-
conversion of mercury to methylmercury;
methylmercury is a neurotoxin, and the form
of mercury that is most easily bio-accumulated
in organisms.

Methyl mercury compounds, such as dimethyl
mercury, are among the most dangerous. Mercury
salts released into the environment may frequently
be converted by anaerobic bacteria into such
compounds, which can then be carried through
the food chain to humans. Methylmercury exposure
via food most often occurs when seafood-
containing mercury is eaten, or when mercury-
containing plants, such as rice, are consumed.
Organic mercury is often found in produce,
farm animals, processed grains, dairy products,
and surface water sources.

Potential health impacts associated with mercury
include cancerous states, cardiovascular or blood
toxicity, developmental toxicity, endocrine
toxicity, gastrointestinal or liver toxicity,
immunotoxicity, kidney toxicity, neurotoxicity,
reproductive toxicity, respiratory toxicity,
and skin sensitivity.

Occupational exposure to mercury containing
compounds presents a significant health risk
to individuals. Dentists, painters, fishermen,
electricians, pharmaceutical/laboratories workers,
farmers, factory workers, miners, chemists, and
beauticians are just some of the professions
chronically exposed to mercury compounds.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
mercury tests reported by 28,299 public water
suppliers in 40 states shows that between 1998
and 2003, 18.5 million people in 1,298 communities
drank water contaminated with mercury. In 37 of
these communities, tap water was contaminated
at levels above health-based thresholds.

Environmental Health Perspectives found that
89 percent of their female patients had
mercury levels above what most scientists
consider safe, and that high mercury levels
in adults correlated with memory loss,
fatigue, and muscle aches. Another preliminary
study this year found that mothers who delivered
prematurely were more likely to have high
mercury levels.

Unborn babies are at the greatest risk. Babies
developing in the womb seem to be most vulnerable
to the effects of mercury on their brains
and nervous systems. Mercury is poisoning an
entire generation of our nation's children!

CADMIUM

Cadmium emissions arise from two major source
categories, natural sources and anthropogenic
(man-made) sources. Emissions occur to the
three major compartments of the environment -
air, water, and soil, but there may be
considerable transfer between the three
compartments after initial deposition.

Man-made cadmium emissions arise either from
the manufacture, use and disposal of products
intentionally utilizing cadmium, or from
the presence of cadmium as a natural but
not functional impurity in non-cadmium
containing products. Cadmium (for industrial
use) is produced in large quantities, over
8 million metric tons in 1999. Cadmium
generated by metal smelters/refiners is
cemented and buried, stored for future
use, or disposed of in landfills as hazardous
acidic waste.

Cadmium poses a major concern to food safety
because is taken up relatively easily by
crops. What makes cadmium unique is that it
is not toxic to plants at concentrations of
concern to human health. Consumption of crops
is the main source of human exposure at
approximately 75%. Grains, leafy greens,
and root crops are associated with elevated
levels of cadmium.

Cadmium accumulates in the body; although a
person's daily intake may be as little as 0.05
milligrams, he or she will have stored, on
average, about 50 milligrams. Cadmium is a
poison and is known to cause birth defects
and cancerous tissue. It can stay in one's body
for years and can also change forms within
the body.

Cadmium interferes with the metabolism of copper,
iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin D. An
Environmental Working Group analysis of cadmium
tests reported by 28,944 public water suppliers
in 41 states shows that between 1998 and 2003,
9.5 million people in 1,364 communities drank
water contaminated with cadmium. In 1,040 of
these communities, tap water was contaminated
at levels above health-based thresholds.

ARSENIC

According to a 1999 study by the National Academy
of Sciences, arsenic in drinking water causes
a cancerous bladder, lung, and skin, and may
cause a cancerous kidney and liver. The study
also found that arsenic harms the central and
peripheral nervous systems, as well as heart and
blood vessels, and causes serious skin problems.
It can cause birth defects and reproductive problems.

Arsenic is a natural element of the earth's crust.
It is used in industry and agriculture, and for
other purposes. It also is a byproduct of copper
smelting, mining, and coal burning. U.S.
industries release thousands of pounds of
arsenic into the environment every year.

The use of this toxic element in numerous
industrial processes has resulted in its
presence in many biological and ecological
systems. Ground, surface, and drinking water
are susceptible to arsenic poisoning from
the use of arsenic in smelting, refining,
galvanizing, and power plants; environmental
contaminants like pesticides, herbicides,
insecticides, fungicides, desiccants,
wood preservatives, and animal feed additives;
and human made hazardous waste sites, chemical
wastes, and antibiotics.

Arsenic suppresses iodine and selenium. It
is a carcinogen that inactivates sulfhydryl
groups leading to cell death, increases
bleeding time, reduces thyroid function by
interfering with iodine metabolism, depresses
bone marrow involved in methionine metabolism.
Low serum arsenic is correlated with central
nervous system disorders, vascular disease,
and cancerous tissue.

Data compiled by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency on arsenic in drinking
water in 25 states found conservative
estimates indicate that more than 34
million Americans drink tap water supplied
by systems containing average levels of
arsenic that pose unacceptable cancerous
risks. We consider it likely that as many
as 56 million people in those 25 states
have been drinking water with arsenic
at unsafe levels--and that is just the
25 states that reported arsenic information
to the EPA.

Some plants are arsenic-resistant or can
block arsenic uptake by their root systems.
Still other food crops accumulate arsenic
at levels that raise human health concerns.
Since plants take up arsenic primarily by
their roots, the highest level of arsenic
accumulation is usually in roots and tubers,
such as carrots and potatoes.

Studies have shown close associations
between both inhaled and ingested arsenic
and cancerous rates. Cancerous conditions of
the skin, liver, respiratory tract, and
gastrointestinal tract are well documented
in regards to arsenic exposure.

LEAD

Lead is the 5th most utilized metal in the
U.S. Human exposure to lead occurs primarily
through drinking water, airborne lead-containing
particulates, and lead-based paints. The primary
source of lead in drinking water is from
lead-based plumbing materials. The corrosion of
such materials will continue to increase
concentrations of lead in municipal drinking
water. The EPA actually allows small amounts
of lead to be present in our tap water due
to this insurmountable problem. Grounding
of household electrical systems to plumbing
may also exacerbate corrosion. Corrosion of
plumbing is by far the greatest cause for
concern. All water is corrosive to metal
plumbing materials to some degree.

Lead from water and airborne sources have
been shown to accumulate in agricultural
areas leading to increased concentrations
in agricultural produce and farm animals.
Cigarette smoke is also a significant source
of lead exposure.

A certain amount of lead is always in our
bodies because of the background presence
of lead in food, water, and sources in
the soil. The EPA estimates that drinking
water can make up 20 percent or more of
a person's total exposure to lead.
Atmospherically derived lead is a widely
distributed contaminant that can inhibit
a range of essential ecosystem processes
in soils. Lead has made its way into food,
animals, and humans.

Because of the possibility of permanent
impairment, lead poisoning is particularly
dangerous during the critical development
periods of infants and young children under
the age of 7 years. Young children, those
6 years and younger, are at particular risk
for lead exposure because they have frequent
hand-to-mouth activity and absorb lead more
easily than do adults. Children's nervous
systems are still undergoing development and
are therefore more susceptible to the effects
of toxic agents. Lead is also harmful to the
developing fetuses of pregnant women.

Lead in drinking water is a significant
contributor to overall exposure to lead,
particularly for infants whose diet
consists of liquids made with water, such
as baby food or formula.

Lead is one of the most toxic elements
naturally occurring on Earth. High
concentrations of lead can cause
irreversible brain damage, seizure,
coma, and death if not treated immediately.
Evidence suggests that lead may cause fatigue,
irritability, memory problems, reduction
in sensory and motor reaction times,
decision making impairment, and lapses
in concentration. In adults, lead is
very detrimental to the cardiovascular
system.

Occupationally exposed individuals tend to
have higher blood pressure and are at an
increased risk for cardiovascular disease,
myocardial infarction, and stroke. The
kidneys are targets of lead toxicity and
prone to impairment at moderate to high
levels of lead concentrations. Other
signs/symptoms of lead toxicity include
gastrointestinal disturbances, abdominal
pain, cramps, constipation, anorexia and
weight loss, immunosuppression, and some
liver impairment. Lead can affect almost
every organ and system in our body.

No safe blood lead level in children has
been determined. Children absorb lead much
more efficiently than adults do after
exposure and are susceptible to the most
damaging effects of lead toxicity. Lead
not only appears to affect cognitive
development of young children but also
other areas of neuropsychological function.
Low levels of lead in blood have been
associated with reduced IQ and attention
span, learning disabilities, poor classroom
performance, hyperactivity, behavioral
problems, impaired growth, and hearing loss.
Very high blood lead levels can cause severe
neurological problems such as mental
retardation, coma, convulsions, and even
death. Lead has been determined by many
health experts to be the #1 threat to
developing children in our industrial
societies.

The most sensitive is the central nervous
system (brain), particularly in children.
Lead also damages kidneys and the reproductive
system. The effects are the same whether it
is breathed or swallowed.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
lead tests reported by 21,997 public water
suppliers in 35 states shows that between
1998 and 2003, 50.4 million people in 7,942
communities drank water contaminated with lead.
In 2,275 of these communities, tap water was
contaminated at levels above health-based
thresholds.

IRON

Inorganic iron is one of the most troublesome
elements in water supplies. Making up at least
5 percent of the earth's crust, iron is one of
the earth's most plentiful resources. Acidic
rain water as it infiltrates the soil and
underlying geologic formations excessively
dissolves iron, causing it to seep into
aquifers that serve as sources of groundwater
for wells. This is one reason that there
is a high prevalence of increased iron
stores in the general population of western
countries.

Inorganic iron is almost indigestible. When
people suffering from anemia are given
supplements of inorganic iron, these supplements
are poorly absorbed in the gut and can have
many unpleasant side effects.

Excess iron accumulates in the pancreas causes
tissue injury. Iron affects glucose metabolism.
Iron stores are associated with insulin
sensitivity, insulin secretion, and insulin
resistance. High inorganic iron causes excessive
sodium retention. Tissue iron excess contributes
to produce and amplify the injury caused by acidity
as well as to modulate various steps involved in
the inflammatory lesion. It should not be ignored
that chronic inflammation caused by dietary and/or
metabolic acid, to some extent, to increase ferritin concentration.

CHROMIUM

Chromium is abundant in the earth's crust and is
widely dispersed in the environment. It is used
extensively in refractory materials and chemicals,
as a plating to produce hard and smooth surfaces,
to prevent corrosion, and in manufacturing stainless
and alloy steels. Major atmospheric emissions of
chromium arise from metal producing industries,
coal-fired plants, municipal incinerators, and
cooling towers.

Chromium-6 or Hexavalent chromium is an inorganic
chemical that can be toxic. Chromium-6 has been
in the news lately because it has been found in
groundwater due to industrial contamination. It
was the focus of the popular movie Erin Brockovich.

Hexavalent chromium in the workplace is suspected
of being carcinogenic. Excessive exposure to dusts
or mists of hexavalent chromium compounds produces
dermatitis, skin lesions, and ulceration and
perforation of the nasal septum, as well as liver
and kidney damage. With long-term exposure to
hexavalent chromium compounds, incidence of
human lung cancer increases.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
hexavalent chromium tests reported by 1,111
public water suppliers in 3 states shows that
between 1998 and 2003, 33.4 million people in
519 communities drank water contaminated with
hexavalent chromium.

BARIUM

Barium is a heavy metal released into the air
by human activities, mainly barium mines, metal
production facilities, and industrial boilers
that burn coal and oil. When coal and oil are
burned to generate electricity, an ash is
produced which contains more than 99% of their
barium content. Barium released into the soil
and water comes from copper smelters and oil
drilling waste disposal sites. Industries
reporting to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) released 159 tons of barium into
the environment in 1995. More than half was
released to the soil. Some foods, such as
Brazil nuts, seaweed, fish, and certain
vegetables, may contain high amounts of barium.

Barium and barium compounds are used for many
commercial processes. Barium sulfate is mined
and used in oil and gas production, medical
procedures, and the manufacture of paints,
bricks, tiles, glass, and rubber. Other barium
compounds are used in the manufacture of
ceramics, pesticides, and oil and fuel additives.
In addition, physicians often instruct their
patients to swallow a barium compound solution
as part of certain medical test procedures.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
barium tests reported by 29,280 public water
suppliers in 41 states shows that between
1998 and 2003, 147 million people in 20,626
communities drank water contaminated with
barium.

Barium interferes with natural immune system
functioning. Barium compounds are extremely
poisonous. At low doses, barium acts as a
muscle stimulant, while higher doses affect
the nervous system, causing cardiac
irregularities, tremors, weakness, anxiety,
dyspnea, and paralysis. This may be due to
its ability to block potassium ion channels
that are critical to the proper function of
the nervous system.

As barium weakens the immune systems of the
masses, we should expect to see statistically
significant increases in various dis-eases
that might normally be minimally occurring
in a population with a fully-activated immune
system.

BERYLLIUM

Beryllium is a metal from metal refineries,
coal burning, and pollution from electrical,
aerospace and defense industries. Potential
health impacts associated with beryllium
include cancerous conditions, cardiovascular
or blood toxicity, gastrointestinal or liver
toxicity, immunotoxicity, kidney toxicity,
reproductive toxicity, respiratory toxicity,
and skin sensitivity.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
beryllium tests reported by 29,913 public
water suppliers in 41 states shows that
between 1998 and 2003, 6.9 million people
in 720 communities drank water contaminated
with beryllium.

MOLYBDENUM

Molybdenum is a by-product of copper and
tungsten mining. It is used as an alloy for
various metals, and it occurs naturally in
soil and rock. Potential health impacts
associated with molybdenum include
neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity.
Plants can, under certain conditions
accumulate large concentrations of molybdenum.
Molybdenum uptake by plants increases with
increased soil pH. Molybdenum can cause
acute clinical disease and subsequent
death by interfering with copper metabolism.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
molybdenum tests reported by 1,183 public
water suppliers in nine states shows that
between 1998 and 2003, 24.6 million people
in 134 communities drank water contaminated
with molybdenum. In 84 of these communities,
tap water was contaminated at levels above
health-based thresholds. Molybdenum remains
unregulated in tap water, without a maximum
legal limit.

Molybdenum is mobile in plants and in soil.
It is less available in soils with a lower
pH. Acid-leached forest and sandstone soils
are generally low in molybdenum. Acid rain
causes molybdenum to be released from the
soil, which contaminates our water and food
supply.

PHOSPHOROUS

Phosphorus is a component of fertilizer and
manure, and a pollutant in municipal wastewater
discharges. Potential health impacts associated
with phosphorus include cardiovascular or
blood toxicity, gastrointestinal or liver
toxicity, kidney toxicity, musculoskeletal
toxicity, neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity,
respiratory toxicity, and skin sensitivity.

Organic phosphate fertilizers contain
radionuclides (such as radium, radon,
radioactive lead, polonium, thorium, etc),
toxic metals, and fluorine.

Phosphate fertilizers are manufactured from
phosphate rocks and, according to their origin,
may contain various micronutrients
(cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum,
nickel, zinc) and heavy metals considered toxic
(arsenic, aluminum, beryllium cadmium, lead,
mercury, and vanadium) (Camelo et al., 1997
and Mirlean et al., 2001). The build up of
toxic heavy metals and fluorine in soils as
a result of continuous application of phosphate
fertilizers has never been mentioned to the
general public.

The phosphate rocks are also enriched in
uranium, thorium and their daughters,
deposited as calcium phosphate minerals
by isomorphic substitution (Pfister et al.,
1976), since the natural uranium can
substitute calcium in the phosphate rock
structure due to the similarity in ionic
size between U4+ and Ca2+ (Guzman, 1992).

Depending on geographic location where the
phosphate rock is mined, it can contain
from 50 - 200 ppm of uranium. Phosphate rock
is the major source of 'yellow cake'
(uranium oxide) for nuclear weapons and
the nuclear power industry.

Where there is uranium in natural rock
formations, there will also be all its
carcinogenic decay rate products; such
as radium, radon, radioactive lead,
polonium, thorium, etc.

The tailings from phosphoric acid production
(phosphate fertilizer), phosphorgypsum, are
so radioactive that they are not allowed to
be used for wall-board or road beds in the
US and Canada - because it is considered a
radiation hazard. However, organic growers
are allowed to treat their fields with the
raw, unprocessed product once every six years,
with none of the contaminants processed out.

Taking a closer look at this 'natural' phosphate
rock mix, we find for example polonium-210:

One particle of polonium-210 gives off 5,000
times more alpha radiation than the same amount
of radium. Damage occurs in the body from
complete tissue absorption of the energy of
the alpha particle. Polonium-210 can be
carcinogenic to people exposed to more than
0.03 microcuries (6.8 trillionths of a gram).
There are also high levels of Radium and
Polonium-210 in granite dust, which is used
by organic farmers, is some parts of the
world as a soil conditioner.

Polonium is carried throughout the body in
the blood. It has been linked to more soft-
tissue cancers than cancerous bones; typical
sites are the liver, spleen, and kidney. The
most important pathway for radionuclide
contamination of the food is the uptake by
plant from the ground through the roots.
Once the contaminated foods have been
ingested by man or animals, the radionuclide's
produce an internal radiation dose in the
specific organs where they accumulate.

Polonium is found in tobacco grown with
phosphate fertilizers. Studies have suggested
that radioactive polonium may be the primary
cause of smoking-related cancers.

Our water supplies are being flooded with
radioactive elements, especially radon.
It is important to note that these do not
simply dissipate in a few days, months,
or years - these radioactive elements will
emit radon for many thousands of years.

The long-continued application of phosphate
fertilizers and their by-products can
redistribute and elevate heavy metal
concentrations in soil profiles, and,
consequently, their availability for plants
and subsequent transfer to the human food
chain, mainly in acid soils.

Additionally, the long-continued application
of phosphate fertilizers can also raise the
heavy metal concentrations in irrigation
runoff/drainage from fertilized lands, and,
then, their application in agricultural soils
constitute another source for workers and
members of the public. One ounce @ 5.0% phosphate
(about the amount used to fertilize one organic
tomato plant as recommended by some organic
growers) contains about 1.4 grams of fluoride,
which is enough to kill a small child.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
phosphorus tests reported by 162 public water
suppliers in 7 states shows that between
1998 and 2003, 3.3 million people in 113
communities drank water contaminated with
phosphorus. In all of these communities,
tap water was contaminated at levels above
health-based thresholds. Phosphorus remains
unregulated in tap water, without a maximum
legal limit. Water suppliers reporting tests
for phosphate (1998-2003): 258 of 39,751.

PERCHLORATE

25 APR 2007 | A bill to set national safety
standards for toxic rocket fuel perchlorate,
found in drinking water supplies in more
than 20 states, is moving in Congress.
However, perchlorate is currently an
unregulated contaminant. Officials found
the rocket fuel ingredient perchlorate at
up to 1,300 parts per million in the fall -
roughly 166 times higher than acceptable limits.
Perchlorate is a toxic chemical from military-
industrial activities and the use of Chilean
nitrate fertilizer.

Production and use estimates of perchlorate
are hard to come by: the military considers
the numbers secret, and fertilizer producers
will not share them, saying they are proprietary
information.

Perchlorate can affect thyroid function -
because perchlorate is an ion that inhibits
the transport of iodide into the thyroid.
Scientists have found that a significant
number of people are at risk of thyroid
depression from perchlorate exposure.
Extensive data indicate that thyroid-
pituitary disruption is the sole mode
of action for the observed thyroid
tumors caused by perchlorate in rodents.

A series of critical new studies by
scientists at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention show that the
EPA's proposed safe exposure level
for the contaminant "perchlorate"
is not protective of public health. To
add insult to injury, the California
Environmental Protection Agency
recently raised the limit on the
amount of perchlorate allowed in
drinking water by 50%. Currently
there are no enforceable perchlorate
safety standards, but Environmental
Working Group (EWG) argues that a
national safety standard should be
no higher than one-tenth the EPA's
currently recommended level.

Preliminary data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention show
that the amount of perchlorate in
urine is too high to be from drinking
water alone. Studies have found perchlorate
in rainwater and common foods produced
in the U.S., such as dairy products and
produce. Perchlorate is also found in
produce worldwide.

In the first-ever tests of perchlorate
in off-the-shelf supermarket produce,
EWG found contamination averaging 4
times more than what the EPA says is
safe in drinking water. The chemical
has also been found in prenatal vitamins
and seaweed. Perchlorate can remain in
food even after it is cooked.

Blast from the past: billions of kilograms
of Chilean nitrate fertilizer contaminated
with perchlorate left a lasting impression.
Between 1909 and 1929, the U.S. imported
an estimated 19 million tons of Chilean
nitrate. The United States still uses 75,000
short tons of Chilean nitrate annually.

Overall, fresh fruits and vegetables from
California and Central and South America had
the highest levels of perchlorate. Just one
serving of some fruits can contain enough
perchlorate to exceed the National Academy
of Sciences safe daily dose by 25%, and
wines and beers pack a bigger perchlorate
punch than waters, according to a new study
that measures perchlorate concentrations
in fruits, wines, and beers from around
the world. The food contribution to daily
perchlorate exposure looks to be a horrendous
disaster attributed to intensive farming,
irresponsible agricultural practices,
and military-industrial activities.

Perchlorate's interference with iodide
uptake by the thyroid gland can decrease
production of thyroid function, which is
needed for prenatal and postnatal growth
and development, as well as for normal
metabolism and mental function in the adult.

Perchlorate is present in virtually all
milk samples; the average concentration
in breast milk is five times higher than
in dairy milk. Studies testify that high
levels of perchlorate in breast milk put
the nation's infants at risk for
developmental problems. Thyroid function is
critical for development of the fetal and
neonatal brain, as well as for many other
aspects of fetal growth. The high levels
of perchlorate in breast milk are cause for
serious concern and should lead to immediate
government action to protect the public health.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of
perchlorate tests reported by 982 public
water suppliers in 7 states shows that
between 1998 and 2003, 26.2 million
people in 86 communities drank water
contaminated with perchlorate. In 8 of
these communities, tap water was contaminated
at levels above health-based thresholds.
Perchlorate remains unregulated in tap water,
without a maximum legal limit. Perchlorate
is a known endocrine disruptor.

ASBESTOS

Asbestos is a mineral fiber from decay of
asbestos cement in water mains. Potential
health impacts associated with asbestos
include cancer, immunotoxicity, and
respiratory toxicity.

An Environmental Working Group analysis
of asbestos tests reported by 2,533 public
water suppliers in 26 states shows that
between 1998 and 2003, 8.6 million people
in 147 communities drank water contaminated
with Asbestos. In 2 of these communities,
tap water was contaminated at levels
above health-based thresholds.

Contaminants Index

Drinking water, including most bottled, reverse
osmosis, and distilled water may reasonably be
expected to contain some contaminants. U.S.
EPA sets standards for approximately 90
contaminants in drinking water.

The following are common contaminants found
in public water, their potential health effects,
and the type of water filters that are capable
of removing them:

2,4,5TP: This is an herbicide that is used

MTBE is a fuel additive, commonly used in the
United States to reduce carbon monoxide and
ozone levels caused by auto emissions. Due to
its widespread use, reports of MTBE detections
in the nation's ground and surface water supplies
are increasing. The Office of Water and other
EPA offices are working with a panel of leading
experts to focus on issues posed by the continued
use of MTBE and other oxygenates in gasoline.
EPA is currently studying the implications of
setting a drinking water standard for MTBE.

Potential health impacts associated with MTBE
include cancerous conditions, developmental
toxicity, gastrointestinal or liver toxicity,
kidney toxicity, neurotoxicity, and skin
sensitivity.

An Environmental Working Group analysis of MTBE tests
reported by 16,866 public water suppliers in 30
states shows that between 1998 and 2003, 32.7
million people in 632 communities drank water
contaminated with MTBE. MTBE remains unregulated
in tap water, without a maximum legal limit.
Water suppliers reporting tests for MTBE (1998-2003):
16,866 of 39,751.
