Chemical, Radioactive and Heavy Metal Contamination and What to Do About It – Part One
November 18, 2016 under Medicine
The Romans were aware that lead could cause serious health problems,
even madness and death. However, they were so fond of its diverse uses
that they minimized the hazards it posed. What they did not realize was
that their everyday low-level exposure to the metal rendered them
vulnerable to chronic lead poisoning, even while it spared them the full
horrors of acute lead poisoning. Roman engineers in the end brought
down the Roman Empire when they replaced their stone aqueducts with lead
pipes for the transport and supply of drinking water, thus turning much
of the Roman population into neurological cripples.[1]
This is a devastating example of how people can be so very wrong in
their assumptions and actions and how it can lead to such massive hurt,
destruction and disease. Today instead of Roman engineers using lead we
have vaccine manufacturers using thimerosal, dentists pouring the
mercury into peoples’ mouths, and industry dumping pollution into the
environment in obscene quantities. We have health officials putting
fluoride in the drinking water, which increases the uptake of lead,
which is still present in modern plumbing fixtures, all together
creating a devils triangle of toxicity with mercury throwing the
knockout punch.
Today humanity is exposed to the highest levels in recorded history of
lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, copper, tin, antimony, bromine,
bismuth and vanadium. Levels are up to several thousand times higher
than in primitive man. Powdered milk contaminated with arsenic in 1955,
for example, led to more than 12,000 cases of poisoning and 131 deaths
in Japan. Among survivors, there was a tenfold increase in the
proportion who were mentally retarded.
Today, unbelievably and against all good reason, arsenic is fed to
chickens to speed along their development so we are continually being
poisoned by arsenic and by people out to make a lot of money. So yes our
job, if we accept the responsibility of helping people with their
health is to detoxify and chelate them while you totally re-mineralize
their bodies with magnesium and other much needed minerals.
There is nothing more urgent in the field of medicine then us getting a
real handle on the best ways to eliminate heavy metals and other toxic
poisons from the body. The most obvious way of course is to reduce
exposure.[2] When it comes to pesticides, for instance, the easiest way to do that is to consume organic foods.
Chemical toxicity and poisoning is a problem that is easy for people to
downplay because it takes so long to develop. However, researchers all
over the globe are posting information about the chemical hazard that
sits like a background radiation cloud across our once pristine planet. Chemical radioactivity
is an appropriate phrase to describe what the situation is with mercury
and other chemicals that are causing disease rates to sore through the
stratosphere.
Pollution and the toxicity of the environment only gets worse with the
hundreds of millions of tons of toxic chemicals that get produced and
added to the human biosphere each year. Everyone now has to live and
breathe in the context of a dangerous chemical cloud with radioactive
like fallout that penetrates our human skin. Having failed to destroy
ourselves with radioactive clouds from atomic bombs we have managed to
muddle through and threaten ourselves through chemical means. Mercury
pollution specifically is one principle threat that, similar to
radioactive substances after an atomic war, is penetrating through
everything. In fact, the FDA itself says, “Mercury is everywhere!”[3]
The World Health Organization “WHO”, in their 1974 Report on Toxic
Metals states that 82 % of chronic degenerative disease is caused by
toxic metal poisoning. This is further substantiated by over 5,000 pages
of US government funded toxicological reports found at the *ATSDR
website. Everyone in modern western societies is exposed to toxic metals
– lead, mercury arsenic antimony, nickel, cadmium, etc.
According to the World Wildlife Fund in 1929 the world was producing 1 million tons of chemicals and pharmaceuticals a year. Today that number has climbed to 400 million tons.
That means that we pollute the earth at a rate that until only recently
took decades to accomplish. Easily in one year we now do the damage it
took from 1930 to 1960 to effect. In the next ten years we will
collectively produce 4 billion tons of chemicals, which in one way or
another eventually end up as toxic pollutants in the environment that
will end up in our blood streams.[4]
According to the Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR)
about 100 million Americans, more than one-third of the population,
suffer from some form of chronic disease like asthma, diabetes, cancer,
heart and kidney disease or arthritis. Cancer is the second
leading cause of death, exceeded only by heart disease. Among children
ages 1 to 14, cancer is now the leading cause of death by disease.[2]
At current rates, invasive cancer will be diagnosed in half of all men
and in one in three women in their lifetime. “Whether it is cancer or
autism that is affecting our families and showing up in our examination
rooms, the growing rates of chronic disease compel us to search for
clues and answers to determine the true causes of these increasingly
prevalent illnesses,” says the PSR.
This is really a meaningless symbol for it is routinely ignored by
government, industry, the military and professionals alike. The skull
and crossbones arrive in every dental office and mark the mercury that
dentists meld into dental amalgam yet for 150 years dentists have thrown
caution to the wind and put a highly toxic heavy metal into hundreds of
millions of mouths, legal toxic waste dumps placed inches from the
brain.
Thimerosal, a deadly chemical compound, which is 50% ethyl-mercury, is
actually injected into children and newborn babies around the world and
again we find doctors, nurses, and governments in total denial that this
is a big mistake that pediatricians are in love with making.
Reducing the amount of toxins we are faced with every day is one of the
most important things we can do for our health. A buildup of toxins in
our body can cause many health concerns including cancer.
Our bodies need to eliminate toxins to stay healthy; if the body is
overloaded with internal chemicals or is not healthy enough to function
properly to detoxify the chemicals within the body, they will eventually
build up and cause the onset of disease and ill health.
This denial reaches into every corner of our lives with all concerns of
the dangers to us and our children ignored. Just about everyone denies
the dangers of cell phones and cell mast towers.
Why is modern medicine going nowhere in its attempts to treat cancer and
stop devastating increases in other chronic diseases like diabetes or
autism? There are hundreds of millions of tons of poisons dumped into
the environment each and every year. In 1989 alone, EPA estimates, in
its Toxic Release Inventory National Report, that 1.9 billion pounds of
chemical were dumped into our nation's water systems. In that same year,
2.4 billion pounds of chemicals were released into the atmosphere; with
the total chemical attack on the environment estimated at 5.7 billion
pounds. This is only in one year. According to a recent report by the
National Research Council, 70,000 of the chemicals in commercial use
today have not even been tested for neurotoxic effects.
A Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water
fluoridation and a 700% increase in osteosarcoma in young men
if they are exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th years.[5]

"I can now very comfortably and definitively state to you," says Dr.
Rashid Buttar, "that, in my opinion, based on the evidence, every single
chronic insidious disease process is related to one word: toxicity. You
cannot address the issues of aging unless you address detoxification."
Dr. Buttar, board certified and a diplomate in preventive medicine and
clinical metal toxicology, and Vice-Chairman of the American Board of
Clinical Metal Toxicology, contends that he only recently arrived at
this conclusion. "Five years ago I wouldn't have said this, even a year
ago I wouldn't have said it. But the more success we've had, the clearer
it has become: All chronic disease is toxicity.
You get rid of the toxicity and you put out the fire. You may need to
rebuild afterward, but you must put the fire out. Conventional medicine
is just covering your eyes so you don't see the fire."
Partial list of common sub-clinical symptoms of toxicity:
fatigue, lethargy, depression, headaches, allergies, chronic infection,
frequent colds, nervousness, and sudden anger, sensitivity to
perfume/odors, memory loss and joint pains. Because so many of these
symptoms could stem from a multitude of other causes, often toxicity is
not readily suspected. With continued exposure, neurotoxins may trigger
the expression of a disease for which one has a genetic predisposition.
In general, it is thought that toxins pose the most dangerous risk for
our children."
It is clear that certain groups of corporations with government support
have deliberately created a toxic hell on our planet. It is a special
kind of hell that gets chemically and radioactively more toxic each year
with the damage and danger expanding to hurt, debilitate, torture, and
even kill people in uncountable numbers.
Conclusion
Governments around the world are not interested in the truth of the
heavy metal, chemical and radioactive toxicity that is sweeping the
globe like an endless hurricane. They prefer to lie about global warming
using that as an excuse to cut the use of coal. Unfortunately, that
will not work, lies never hold up, so it is better to slowly begin to
address the insane track humanity and its civilization is on before all
life gets snubbed out due to toxicity.

Dr. Joeseph Mercola says to eat as much as possible, organic produce
and free-range, organic foods. Avoid processed foods -- remember that
they're processed with chemicals. Only use natural cleaning products in
your home. Switch over to natural brands of toiletries, including
shampoo, toothpaste, antiperspirants and cosmetics. Remove any metal
fillings as they're a major source of mercury. Be sure to have this done
by a qualified biological dentist. Avoid using artificial air
fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances
as they can pollute the air you are breathing. Avoid artificial food
additives of all kind, including artificial sweeteners and MSG. Get
plenty of safe sun exposure to boost your vitamin D levels and your
immune system (you'll be better able to fight disease). Have your tap
water tested and, if contaminants are found, install an appropriate
water filter on all your faucets (even those in your shower or bath).

The WWF has been out front and has concerned itself with matters that
health and medical officials have neglected. In 2004 they sponsored a
series of blood tests in the UK and every person tested was contaminated
by a cocktail of known highly toxic chemicals which were banned from
use in the UK during the 1970s and which continue to pose unknown health
risks. The WWF found 70 (90 per cent) of the 78 chemicals they were
looked for in the survey. The highest number of chemicals found in any
one person was 49, nearly two thirds (63 per cent) of the chemicals
looked for. This study provides shocking and damning evidence that
people across the world are contaminated with a cocktail of highly toxic
chemicals. Upon studying his personal results Dr. John Barry of the
Green Party said: "As a vegetarian, who eats mainly organic produce, I
did not expect my results to indicate a high level of contamination, yet
eighteen chemicals were detected in my body. Not a high level in
comparison to other results but they are chemicals I did not ask for and
certainly do not want.” And Michelle Gildernew, Sinn Fein MP said,
“Despite following a fairly healthy lifestyle, I was shocked to discover
that my blood test revealed a number of chemicals which could be
dangerous to health. As a mother, I find it even more disturbing that I
could have passed some of these chemicals on to my child during
pregnancy.”

Dr. Paul Connett posted on 20 July 2005 at 4:55 am. I am really
surprised that Medical News Today published the puff piece from the
American Dental Association about their celebration of 60 years of
fluoridation, but missed the real news from last week. This was the
revelation carried by the Washington Post and the Associated Press (July
13, 2005) that a Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water
fluoridation and a 700% increase in osteosarcoma in young men if they
are exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th years.
Particularly disturbing is the information that the thesis adviser,
Porfessor Cheser Douglass, who is also a consultant to Colgate, has
covered up these results in talks to the public and in a report to his
funding agency. Both the NIEHS and Harvard University are investigating
his conduct.
