Burning joss sticks 'as deadly as traffic fumes or cigarette smoke'

Worship is generally not a life-threatening pursuit. But devotees across Asia
could be taking their life into their hands every time they go to a temple to pray,
according to a study by a Thai doctor.

Burning joss sticks lit as an offering in shrines and temples fill the air with
cancer-causing toxins that are every bit as deadly as traffic fumes and
cigarette smoke, says Dr Manoon Leechawengwong.

Dr Manoon, who has just completed a two-year study of temple workers tasked
with clearing the smouldering sticks, found the cocktail of chemicals in the
smoke put them at risk of leukaemia, lung, blood and bladder cancers.

"One joss stick creates the same amount of cancer-causing chemicals at one
cigarette," said Dr Manoon, who led the research. "I knew there would be some
carcinogens, but I was surprised by the levels."

Joss sticks are a type of incense used in worship in many Asian countries. In
Buddhism they are believed to aid spiritual communication and serve as an
offering.

Dr Manoon's study was conducted among 40 workers in three temples at
Ayutthaya, Chachoengsao and Samut Prakan, sites chosen deliberately far
from Bangkok's traffic pollution. The findings were compared with another 25
people living in a joss-stick free environment.

Temple workers were exposed to high levels of benzene, also known as
petroleum ether, related to leukaemia; butadiene involved in blood cancer; and
benzo[a]pyrene that can cause lung, bladder and skin cancers.

The level of benzene in the temple workers was four times higher than normal,
butadiene was 260 times higher, and benzo[a]pyrene - the most dangerous
carcinogen - 63 times greater.

Analysis of the temple workers blood and urine samples discovered damage to
their DNA, with a correspondingly lower capacity of their bodies to repair that
damage.

"We know from our study that there's DNA damage," said Dr Manoon. "But
what we don't know is if they will develop cancer. Certainly they have a greater
risk. It's like smoking. Not all smokers get cancer, it's about 20% ."

But Dr Manoon urges worshippers to reduce the risks by extinguishing the
scented joss stick immediately after use, rather than leaving it standing pots of
sand as it burns down. Manufacturers could also produce sticks that burn for a
minute or less.

"It's not necessary as part of the ritual for these traditional joss sticks to burn
down," he said. "By putting them out after a minute or so the air pollution would
be cut by 30 to 40 times."

Praying for an end to cancer?

Most people don’t think of going to a place of religious worship as a time when
they're exposing themselves to the danger. However, it really depends where
you worship.

A recent study by a Thai doctor found that burning insence in shrines and
temples fills the air with cancer-causing toxic chemicals. Dr Manoon
Leechawengwong, who completed the study, found that those chemicals are
as bad as traffic fumes and cigarette smoke.

Joss sticks are a type of incense used in many East Asian countries, often
burned as an offering. It is believed that their smoke carries prayers to the
deceased through its journey upward into the sky.

The two year study of temple workers found that the workers are exposed to a
mix of chemicals from the smoke that put them on risk for numerous diseases,
including several different cancers. The study also found some DNA changes.

One way to reduce the chemical exposure would be to put the sticks out right
after use, instead of letting them burn down completely. This way, the ritual can
be preserved, and the pollution is reduced.

Death of Free Internet Is Imminent: Canada Will Become Test Case

From Information Clearing House at
www.informationclearinghouse.info/a...tm

*Death of Free Internet Is Imminent: Canada Will Become Test Case*
By Kevin Parkinson
21/07/08
www.globalresearch.ca/index.php

"Global Research" -- In the last 15 years or so, as a society we have had access to more information than ever before in modern history because of the Internet. There are approximately 1 billion Internet users in the world B and any one of these users can theoretically communicate in real time with any other on the planet. The Internet has been the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century by far, and has been recognized as such by the global community.

The free transfer of information, uncensored, unlimited and untainted, still seems to be a dream when you think about it. Whatever field that is mentioned -- education, commerce, government, news, entertainment, politics, and countless other areas -- have been radically affected by the introduction of the Internet. And mostly, it's good news, except when poor judgements are made and people are taken advantage of. Scrutiny and oversight are needed, especially where children are involved.

However, when there are potential profits open to a corporation, the needs of society don't count. Take the recent case in Canada with the behemoths, Telus and Rogers, rolling out a charge for text messaging without any warning to the public. It was an arrogant and risky move for the telecommunications giants because it backfired. People actually used Internet technology to deliver a loud and clear message to these companies and that was to scrap the extra charge. The people used the power of the Internet against the big boys and the little guys won.

However, the issue of text messaging is just a tiny blip on the radar screens of Telus and another company, Bell Canada, the two largest Internet Service Providers (I.S.P.'s) in Canada. Our country is being used as a test case to drastically change the delivery of Internet service forever. The change will be so radical that it has the potential to send us back to the horse and buggy days of information sharing and access.

In the upcoming weeks watch for a report in Time Magazine that will attempt to smooth over the rough edges of a diabolical plot by Bell Canada and Telus, to begin charging per site fees on most Internet sites. The plan is to convert the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and then pay to visit sites beyond a cutoff point.

From my browsing (on the currently free Internet), I have discovered that the "demise" of the free Internet is slated for 2010 in Canada and, two years later, around the world. Canada is seen a good choice to implement such shameful and sinister changes, since Canadians are viewed as being laissez fair, politically uninformed and an easy target. The corporate marauders will iron out the wrinkles in Canada and then spring the new, castrated version of the Internet on the rest of the world, probably with little fanfare, except for some dire warnings about the "evil" of the Internet (free) and the C.E.O.'s spouting about "safety and security." These buzzwords usually work pretty well.

What will the Internet look like in Canada in 2010? I suspect that the I.S.P.'s will provide a "package" program as companies like Cogeco currently do. Customers will pay for a series of websites as they do now for their television stations. Television stations will be available on-line as part of these packages, which will make the networks happy since they have lost much of the younger market which are surfing and chatting on their computers in the evening. However, as is the case with cable television now, if you choose something that is not part of the package, you know what happens. You pay extra.

And this is where the Internet (free) as we know it will suffer almost immediate, economic strangulation. Thousands and thousands of Internet sites will not be part of the package, so users will have to pay extra to visit those sites! In just an hour or two, it is possible to easily visit 20~30 sites or more while looking for information. Just imagine how high these costs will be.

At present, the world condemns China because that country restricts certain websites. "They are undemocratic; they are removing people's freedom; they don't respect individual rights; they are censoring information," are some of the comments we hear. But, what Bell Canada and Telus have planned for Canadians is much worse than that. They are planning the death of the Internet (free) as we know it, and I expect they'll be hardly a whimper from Canadians. It's all part of the corporate plan for a New World Order and virtually a masterstroke that will lead to the creation of billions and billions of dollars of corporate profit at the expense of the working and middle classes.

There are so many other implications as a result of these changes, far too many to elaborate on here. Be aware that we will all lose our privacy because all websites will be tracked as part of the billing procedure, and we will be literally cut off from 90% of the information that we can access today. The little guys on the Net will fall likes flies; Bloggers and small website operators will die a quick death because people will not pay to go to their sites and read their pages.

Ironically, the only medium that can save us is the one we are trying to save -- the Internet (free). This article will be posted on my Blog: www.realitycheck.typepad.com
And I encourage people and groups to learn more about this issue. Canadians can keep the Internet free just as they kept text messaging free. Don't wait for the federal politicians. They will do nothing to help us.

I would welcome a letter to the editor of the Standard Freeholder from a spokesperson from Bell Canada or Telus telling me that I am absolutely wrong in what I have written, and that no such changes to the Internet are being planned, and that access to Internet sites will remain FREE in the years to come. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to write to the media, ask questions, phone the radio station, phone a friend, or think of something else to prevent what appears to me to be inevitable.

Maintaining Internet (free) access is the only way we have a chance at combating the global corporate takeover, the North American Union, and a long list of other deadly deeds that the elite in society have planned for us. Yesterday was too late in trying to protect our rights and freedoms. We must now redouble our efforts in order to give our children and grandchildren a fighting chance in the future.

Sunlight and Health


by Raymond Francis

In a number of BHN issues beginning in July/August of '96, we have told our readers

that, contrary to popular belief, sunlight does not cause cancer. In fact cancer rates

are much lower where there is more sunlight. I have recently come across an

excellent book by Zane Kime, MD titled Sunlight. Dr. Kime looks at the relationship of

sunlight and human health. He takes studies from the scientific literature and

demonstrates sunlight's beneficial effects in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and

blood sugar. He cites how sunlight increases endurance, sex hormone levels, and

immunity. The book also contains dietary suggestions on how to protect your skin

from sun damage the way nature intended.

It's easy to forget, in the midst of our cancer epidemic, that cancer was traditionally a

rare disease affecting less than 1% of the population. The healthy, long-lived

populations like the Hunzas and the Vilcabambas lived at high elevations where the

sun was more intense. They were out farming every day. Yet they lived to very old

ages without getting cancer. If the sun causes cancer, how did these people and

others like the Polynesians ever survive? Skin cancer is the end-result of many factors

of which inappropriate sun exposure is only one.

Like a lot of things, too much of a good thing can be bad for you. The sun is essential

to health, but too little or too much sun will damage health. The sun can do damage

if we use it improperly. And use it improperly is what most of us do. Studies show

that the incidence of all malignancy is 6 to 10 times lower closer to the equator

where there is more sunlight, and people who have chronic exposure to the sun are

less likely to develop melanoma than urbanized people who have intermittent

exposure.

One of the reasons for lower cancer rates may be that people who are out in the sun

all the time form pigments that protect them from the sun, and their sun exposure

makes them healthier in the first place. Urban dwellers don't get enough healthy sun

exposure. They often get intermittent tans that fade. Repeating this cycle may result

in damage because the skin is not protected during the tanning process. Also the

urban dweller is much more likely to burn during the tanning process. Some

researchers believe that burns are a key to skin cancer. Turning into a red lobster is

definitely not conducive to good health, as any lobster can attest.

No one is arguing that sunlight doesn't trigger free radical activity and that the

amount of free radicals doesn't increase with the intensity of the sunshine. These

free radicals can cause skin to age prematurely, wrinkle, and sunburn, and can

damage DNA and cause skin lesions. However, research shows that diets rich in

carotenes and other antioxidants protect the skin against the hazards of ultraviolet

sunlight. Carotenes are a class of compounds found in plants, fruits, and vegetables

that reduce the free radical activity that causes damage and premature aging of

cells. Research has shown that diets rich in carotenes reduce the risk of cancer and

prevent the damage to DNA that results in a number of degenerative diseases. In

fact carotenes are being called nature's "sun umbrella." Carotenes are used up during

exposure to sunlight, so one's dietary supply must be adequate to provide continuous

protection. Here's the problem. Very few Americans are getting adequate amounts of

fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. We are blaming the sun for problems caused

by poor diets and excessive inappropriate exposures.

What about sunscreens? A few decades of increasing sunscreen use has done nothing

to stop the increasing rate of skin cancer. In fact, the chemicals in sunscreens may

even become carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight. Researchers at the University of

Pennsylvania say that broad-spectrum sunscreens still aren't broad enough to cover

the full spectrum of potentially harmful light. Ultraviolet radiation consists of over 100

separate frequencies. Sunscreens don't protect against all, and we don't know which

are harmful and which beneficial. We may even be blocking the wrong ones. In

addition, using a sunscreen can create a false sense of security and cause people to

spend excessive amounts of time in the sun. Researchers at the M.D. Anderson

Cancer Center in Houston say, "There is no substantial evidence that sunscreen

protects against any of the three forms of skin cancer. Dr. Robin Marks, a

dermatologist and a professor at the University of Melbourne says, "Relying on

synthetic chemicals to prevent cancer is laughable." Arthur Rhodes, a University of

Pittsburgh dermatologist, told a 1994 meeting of the American Cancer Society that

sunscreens "appear weakly effective or ineffective" at preventing cancer.

The fact is we were designed to be out in the sun. Sunlight is absolutely essential for

good health in so many ways that we don't even begin to understand them. Unless

you do something foolish, the sun won't damage healthy people who have adequate

amounts of nutrients like carotenes, lycopene, essential fatty acids, and vitamins A,

C, E, and zinc and selenium. Our need for the sun is exemplified by the fact that

nature intended we get most of our vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is almost

totally absent in vegetable foods.

When sunlight strikes the skin it sets off a multi-staged process whereby cholesterol

is ultimately changed into vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential to the absorption of

calcium from the intestines and for the production of enzymes involved in collagen

formation in the bones. Staying out of the sun is partially responsible for our

epidemic of osteoporosis, especially in our elderly. One study found that 36% of

elderly men and 47% of elderly women were vitamin D deficient. Even moderate sun

exposure would help to alleviate this problem. However, sunlight through window

glass will not activate vitamin D synthesis.

Sunlight is absolutely essential to good health. Its only been in recent times that the

sun has been cast as our enemy. If getting too little or too much sun is bad for us,

how can the average person get what they need without harming themselves? First

of all get the sun slowly. Secondly, stay out of the midday sun. Timing sun exposures

to avoid the hours of 10 to 2 PM will cut ultraviolet exposure by 60% because the sun

is less intense. Most everyone should try to get at least ten minutes in the sun on a

daily basis and longer on weekends. If you do it this way, your skin will adapt

through skin pigmentation and you won't get sunburned. Some experts claim at least

one hour of unfiltered sunlight per day is essential to health. This doesn't have to be

in direct sun, indirect sunlight is acceptable but it should not be filtered through

glass. Sunlight into the retina is a very important nutrient. Retinas need the whole

spectrum of solar radiation, and wearing glasses or contacts could screen out

important frequencies that are critical to long-term health. When you are in direct

sun for long periods, cover up. Wear a broad brimmed hat and suitable clothing.

We need to protect against skin cancer both from the outside and the inside. Getting

an optimal amount of nutrients is essential. Eat a diet that is rich in fresh, unrefined,

essential fatty acids such as those contained in Udo's Choice. A diet rich in carotenes

is essential. Supplementation with products like Caroplete should be considered.

Caroplete contains a natural mixture of carotenes including lycopene. In addition,

vitamins A, C, and E along with minerals like zinc and selenium will help to both

protect and repair skin.

How much sun is right for you depends on your biochemical individuality. With a bit

of awareness and following the above suggestions, you should be able to develop a

healthy golden tan and reap the benefits of the sun without doing harm. Health is a

choice, and by developing good habits and making sensible choices, the sun will be

your friend and not your enemy.

Homeless People Die After Bird Flu Vaccine Trial In Poland

*Homeless People Die After Bird Flu Vaccine Trial In Poland*
02 Jul 2008

Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal
prosecution after a number of homeless people died following
medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus. The
medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being
investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless
and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an
untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus. Authorities
claim that the alleged victims received £1~2 to be tested with
what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but,
according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

*Penn Study Pinpoints New DNA Weapon Against Bird Flu*
02 Jul 2008
A new way to vaccinate against avian influenza that tricks the immune system into mounting a broad response against multiple strains of the disease, including strains to which the immune system was never exposed, has been devised by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. If proven in humans, the Penn research could lead the way to prepare against an outbreak of pandemic avian flu. Dr. Weiner sits on the scientific advisory board of VGX, and collaborates with Wyeth, Merck, BMS, Althea, and Virxsys, as well as other companies on DNA vaccine technologies.

Toxic Gonads - with photo

The normal testis, left, comes from a healthy male rat.
Tissues center and right come from a rat exposed to
DEHP while its reproductive tract was maturing. The
center tissue is a small testis filled with fluid. The
corresponding tissue from the other side of the same
animal exhibits no visible testis or sperm-storing
epididymis. Another DEHP-exposed animal from
the same set of EPA tests developed a "testis" that
was nothing but a sack of blood.

Your gonads are a part of what modern medicine
calls the "Endocrine System".

There is a peer reviewed medical

that the majority of mental illnesses are

perspective is that such chemical
exposures can also hinder Spiritual
development as well as interfere with

REPRINTED FROM BEYOND HEALTH News
Sunlight and Health

by Raymond Francis

In a number of BHN issues beginning in July/August of '96, we have told our
readers that, contrary to popular belief, sunlight does not cause cancer. In
fact cancer rates are much lower where there is more sunlight. I have
recently come across an excellent book by Zane Kime, MD titled Sunlight.
Dr. Kime looks at the relationship of sunlight and human health. He takes
studies from the scientific literature and demonstrates sunlight's beneficial
effects in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. He cites
how sunlight increases endurance, sex hormone levels, and immunity.
The book also contains dietary suggestions on how to protect your
skin from sun damage the way nature intended.

It's easy to forget, in the midst of our cancer epidemic, that cancer was
traditionally a rare disease affecting less than 1% of the population. The
healthy, long-lived populations like the Hunzas and the Vilcabambas
lived at high elevations where the sun was more intense. They were
out farming every day. Yet they lived to very old ages without getting
cancer. If the sun causes cancer, how did these people and others
like the Polynesians ever survive? Skin cancer is the end-result of
many factors of which inappropriate sun exposure is only one.

Like a lot of things, too much of a good thing can be bad for you.
The sun is essential to health, but too little or too much sun will
damage health. The sun can do damage if we use it improperly.
And use it improperly is what most of us do. Studies show that the
incidence of all malignancy is 6 to 10 times lower closer to the
equator where there is more sunlight, and people who have
chronic exposure to the sun are less likely to develop melanoma
than urbanized people who have intermittent exposure.

One of the reasons for lower cancer rates may be that people
who are out in the sun all the time form pigments that protect
them from the sun, and their sun exposure makes them healthier
in the first place. Urban dwellers don't get enough healthy sun
exposure. They often get intermittent tans that fade. Repeating
this cycle may result in damage because the skin is not protected
during the tanning process. Also the urban dweller is much more
likely to burn during the tanning process. Some researchers
believe that burns are a key to skin cancer. Turning into a
red lobster is definitely not conducive to good health, as any
lobster can attest.

No one is arguing that sunlight doesn't trigger free radical activity
and that the amount of free radicals doesn't increase with the
intensity of the sunshine. These free radicals can cause skin
to age prematurely, wrinkle, and sunburn, and can damage
DNA and cause skin lesions. However, research shows that
diets rich in carotenes and other antioxidants protect the
skin against the hazards of ultraviolet sunlight. Carotenes
are a class of compounds found in plants, fruits, and
vegetables that reduce the free radical activity that causes
damage and premature aging of cells. Research has shown
that diets rich in carotenes reduce the risk of cancer and
prevent the damage to DNA that results in a number of
degenerative diseases. In fact carotenes are being called
nature's "sun umbrella." Carotenes are used up during
exposure to sunlight, so one's dietary supply must be
adequate to provide continuous protection. Here's the
problem. Very few Americans are getting adequate
amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet.
We are blaming the sun for problems caused by
poor diets and excessive inappropriate exposures.

What about sunscreens? A few decades of increasing
sunscreen use has done nothing to stop the increasing
rate of skin cancer. In fact, the chemicals in sunscreens
may even become carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say that
broad-spectrum sunscreens still aren't broad enough
to cover the full spectrum of potentially harmful light.
Ultraviolet radiation consists of over 100 separate
frequencies. Sunscreens don't protect against all,
and we don't know which are harmful and which
beneficial. We may even be blocking the wrong
ones. In addition, using a sunscreen can create
a false sense of security and cause people to
spend excessive amounts of time in the sun.
Researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston say, "There is no substantial
evidence that sunscreen protects against any
of the three forms of skin cancer. Dr. Robin Marks,
a dermatologist and a professor at the University
of Melbourne says, "Relying on synthetic chemicals
to prevent cancer is laughable." Arthur Rhodes, a
University of Pittsburgh dermatologist, told a 1994
meeting of the American Cancer Society that
sunscreens "appear weakly effective or ineffective"
at preventing cancer.

The fact is we were designed to be out in the sun.
Sunlight is absolutely essential for good health in
so many ways that we don't even begin to understand
them. Unless you do something foolish, the sun won't
damage healthy people who have adequate amounts
of nutrients like carotenes, lycopene, essential fatty
acids, and vitamins A, C, E, and zinc and selenium.
Our need for the sun is exemplified by the fact that
nature intended we get most of our vitamin D from
the sun. Vitamin D is almost totally absent in vegetable foods.

When sunlight strikes the skin it sets off a multi-staged process whereby
cholesterol is ultimately changed into vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential
to the absorption of calcium from the intestines and for the production
of enzymes involved in collagen formation in the bones. Staying out of
the sun is partially responsible for our epidemic of osteoporosis,
especially in our elderly. One study found that 36% of elderly men
and 47% of elderly women were vitamin D deficient. Even moderate
sun exposure would help to alleviate this problem. However, sunlight
through window glass will not activate vitamin D synthesis.

Sunlight is absolutely essential to good health. Its only been in recent
times that the sun has been cast as our enemy. If getting too little or
too much sun is bad for us, how can the average person get what
they need without harming themselves? First of all get the sun slowly.
Secondly, stay out of the midday sun. Timing sun exposures to
avoid the hours of 10 to 2 PM will cut ultraviolet exposure by
60% because the sun is less intense. Most everyone should
try to get at least ten minutes in the sun on a daily basis and
longer on weekends. If you do it this way, your skin will adapt
through skin pigmentation and you won't get sunburned. Some
experts claim at least one hour of unfiltered sunlight per day is
essential to health. This doesn't have to be in direct sun, indirect
sunlight is acceptable but it should not be filtered through glass.
Sunlight into the retina is a very important nutrient. Retinas
need the whole spectrum of solar radiation, and wearing
glasses or contacts could screen out important frequencies
that are critical to long-term health. When you are in direct
sun for long periods, cover up. Wear a broad brimmed hat
and suitable clothing.

We need to protect against skin cancer both from the outside and the
inside. Getting an optimal amount of nutrients is essential. Eat a diet
that is rich in fresh, unrefined, essential fatty acids such as those
contained in Udo's Choice. A diet rich in carotenes is essential.
Supplementation with products like Caroplete should be considered.
Caroplete contains a natural mixture of carotenes including lycopene.
In addition, vitamins A, C, and E along with minerals like zinc and
selenium will help to both protect and repair skin.

How much sun is right for you depends on your biochemical
individuality. With a bit of awareness and following the above
suggestions, you should be able to develop a healthy golden
tan and reap the benefits of the sun without doing harm. Health
is a choice, and by developing good habits and making sensible
choices, the sun will be your friend and not your enemy.

Lead exposure in children linked to violent crime

Lead exposure in children linked to violent crime

A study finds that even low levels can permanently damage the
brain. The research also shows that exposure is a continuing
problem despite efforts to minimize it.

By Thomas H. Maugh II and Marla Cone,
Los Angeles Times Staff Writers May 28, 2008
www.latimes.com/news/scien...07472.story

The first study to follow lead-exposed children from before birth into
adulthood has shown that even relatively low levels of lead permanently
damage the brain and are linked to higher numbers of arrests, particularly
for violent crime.

Earlier studies linking lead to such problems used indirect measures of
both lead and criminality, and critics have argued that socioeconomic and
other factors may be responsible for the observed effects.

But by measuring blood levels of lead before birth and during the first
seven years of life, then correlating the levels with arrest records and brain
size, Cincinnati researchers have produced the strongest evidence yet that
lead plays a major role in crime.

The researchers also found that lead exposure is a continuing problem
despite the efforts of the federal government and cities to minimize exposure.

The average lead levels in the study "unfortunately are still seen in many
thousands of children throughout the United States," said Philip J.
Landrigan, director of the Center for Children's Health and the
Environment at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

The link between criminal behavior and lead exposure was found among
even the least-contaminated children in the study, who were exposed to
amounts of lead similar to what the average U.S. child is exposed to today,
said Landrigan, who was not involved in the study.

"People will sometimes say, 'This is in the past. We are cleaning up lead.
We don't have lead problems anymore,' " said criminologist Deborah W.
Denno of Fordham University in New York, who also was not involved in
the study. "The Ohio study says this is still a big problem."

Nationwide, about 310,000 children between the ages of 1 and 5 have blood
lead levels above the federal guideline of 10 micrograms per deciliter, and
experts suspect that many times that number have lower levels that are still
dangerous.

"It is a national disgrace that so many children continue to be exposed at
levels known to be neurotoxic," said neurologist David C. Bellinger of
Harvard Medical School, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study
published in the online journal PLoS Medicine.

Although some urban soil is still contaminated with lead from gasoline,
80% of lead exposure now comes from houses built before 1978. Paint in
such houses can contain as much as 50% lead, and even if it has been
covered by newer, lead-free paint, it still flakes or rubs off.

About 38 million U.S. homes, 40% of the nation's housing, still contain
lead-based paint, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The problem is particularly acute in urban areas, which
typically have older housing that has not been renovated.

More recently, parents and authorities have become concerned about
increasing levels of lead-based paint in toys imported from China.

Researchers have long known that lead exposure reduces IQ by damaging
brain cells in children during their early years.

It is also known that lead increases children's distractibility, impulsiveness
and restlessness and shortens their attention span, all factors considered
precursors of aggressive or violent behavior.

A landmark 1990 paper by Denno linked lead to increases in criminal
behavior, but the children in the study were not tested for lead levels. The
diagnoses were based on their physicians' evaluation, Denno said.

The Cincinnati lead study enrolled 376 pregnant women in Cincinnati's
inner city between 1979 and 1984, measuring their blood lead levels during
pregnancy and the children's levels during their first seven years of life.

In the new study, environmental health researcher Kim N. Dietrich of the
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine studied 250 of the original
group, correlating their lead levels with adult criminal arrest records from
Hamilton County, Ohio.

He and his colleagues found that 55% of the subjects (63% of males) had
been arrested and that the average was five arrests between the ages of 18
and 24.

The higher the blood lead level at any time in childhood, the greater the
likelihood of arrests. "The strongest association was with violent criminal
activity -- murder, rape, domestic violence, assault, robbery and possession
of weapons," Dietrich said.

Blood lead levels in the children ranged from 4 to 37 micrograms per
deciliter.

The researchers found, for example, that every 5-microgram-per-deciliter
increase in blood lead levels at age 6 was accompanied by a 50% increase in
the incidence of violent crime later in life. Confirming previous findings, the
effect of lead was strongest in males, who had an arrest rate 4 1/2 times that
of females.

In a related study, spectroscopist Kim M. Cecil of Cincinnati Children's
Hospital Medical Center and her colleagues examined a "representative
sample" of 157 members of the same group using whole-brain MRI scans.
They found that those with the highest blood levels of lead during childhood
had the smallest brain volume.

On average, the brains of those in the study were about 1.2% smaller than
normal. The most affected regions of the brain were those regulating
decision making, impulse control, attention, error detection, task completion
and reward-based decision making.

"The most important message is that lead affects brain volume, independent
of demographic and social factors that are often used to explain away poor
outcomes" in life, Cecil said. "This is independent biological evidence
showing that the brain is affected by lead."

*Mobile Phones 'More Dangerous Than Smoking'*
Brain expert warns of huge rise in tumours and calls on industry to take
immediate steps to reduce radiation

By Geoffrey Lean, The Independent news
Sunday, 30 March 2008

www.independent.co.uk/life-st...602.html


Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an
award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using
them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must
take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.

The study, by Dr. Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published
of the health risks.

It draws on growing evidence -- exclusively reported in the IoS in October --
that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer.
Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety
assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had
used the phones for that long.

Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of mobile phones,
especially by children. Germany also advises its people to minimise handset use,
and the European Environment Agency has called for exposures to be reduced.

Professor Khurana -- a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over the past
16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific papers -- reviewed more
than 100 studies on the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a
brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is currently being
peer-reviewed for publication in a scientific journal.

He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that "there
is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone
usage and certain brain tumours." He believes this will be "definitively proven"
in the next decade.

Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending diagnosis," he adds:
"We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation."
He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive
steps," the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will
be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be
far too late to intervene medically.

"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications
than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his
assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the
phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking kills some five million
worldwide each year, and exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths
in Britain as road accidents.

Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's study as "a
selective discussion of scientific literature by one individual." It believes he
"does not present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and "reaches
opposite conclusions to the W.H.O. and more than 30 other independent expert
scientific reviews."

Achilleas Heel of corporate america and george bush

This Easter Sunday 2008 Toxic Sermon might prove
to be a useful path. And a "flag" under which many
political factions should rally, if the "censorship" from
the major news medias can be circumvented. So here
is a copy / paste of my "toxic sermon". Strangely enough,
you life or the life of someone you love, might depend on
your reading this. Please pass it on. It is the achilleas
heel of corporate america and george bush - TR

Easter Sunday Toxic Sermon of 2008 titled -


Red Collar Criminals Playing American Roulette
With Our Lives

No copyright on this posting is claimed .
Feel free to forward and post this toxic sermon.
Reproduce at will.
Blessings, The Toxic Reverend


This is what I call American Roulette, with Red Collar Crime.
Unlike the Russians with a revolver, we use products and services.
"In American Roulette, paranoia is a survival skill, because their
is no criminal accountability for the corporate official that whacks
you with his corporations products or services". If your family is
"resourceful", they might be able to sue for a few dollars for your
"wrongful death" but even the amount of the liability suits were
"capped". Leaving lawyers with little incentive to "herd the stampede" - TR

There are three examples of Red Collar Crimes
in this "toxic sermon". Better known examples
are Firestine tires, the movies "Class Action"
that starred Gene Hackman, as well as
Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts.

The third cited example in this sermon is ongoing
with a prosecuting attorney that has been fighting
to get criminal charges brought against the corporate
officials that were responsible for an unknown number
of American deaths. Homicide was not listed among
the criminal indiments listed in the news release
that is linked in. I am citing these other reports to
demonstrate that this is not just "an elephant in the
living-room" . It is a virtual and rampant herd. And
nobody wants to talk about it. In fact, I had to
name it, just so I could. The "commonly known"
examples that I had cited did not have any criminal
cases brought against the corporations of the
individual corporate officials that were responsible.

Didn't you ever wonder "WHY" ?

Examples:

1: Trade Secrets,
A web page from Bill Moyers Public Broadcasting show, national television.
Documentation of over 50 years of corporate cover up, costing an unknown
number of American lives, with out criminal presecution.

I had download the report and made back ups . So I and re-posted it.
Their web page is gone from the net and the times that I have
tried to call the authors (lately) their phone is "being checked for trouble".
Or at least that is what the phone company recording says. But here is
theor address and phone number, anyway. Try to contact them at your own risk

Holding corporate officials criminally liable for
the crimes the commit with their corporations
for "their" all mighty dollar could cause this
war to end, much quicker.

(a work in progress)

Michael McCann was a longtime district attorney
ilwaukee County, (retired 12 / 31 / 2006 ). He
was best known for prosecuting Jeffrey Dahmer.

But McCann has also prosecuted more than ten
corporations for reckless homicide over the
last two decades and has won every case. More
than that, Michael McCann s also an opponent of
the death penalty.

Excerpt from the e-mail that was sent to me, with the
above story:

This is a must-read report for anyone wishing to protect themselves
(and their families) from cancer-causing chemicals in "natural" and
"organic" products.

The story reveals the full extent of the study, and it lists the actual
product brand names you should now avoid. We also list the actual
ingredients to watch out for on the labels of personal care products,
including so-called "natural" or "organic" products.

Please note that there ARE safe products in the natural category.
They're listed in the story, too

It is my opinion that the "cure for this" is :>

Criminal & Homicide Charges For Corporations
No More Red Collar Crime
Ten homicide convictions against corporations, no losses.
Bleeding them green (of their money) will not stop this.

Examples:

______________________________________________

In the largest Superfund cleanup settlement ever, W.R. Grace
has agreed to pay $250 million to cover government investigation
and cleanup costs associated with the asbestos-laden ore the
company mined in Libby, Montana.
Such situations will not end until the individuals behind the corporations
are held criminally accountable for their actions. Such as what the U.S.
Attorney Bill Mercer is trying to do with a ten count criminal indictment
against seven senior current and former Grace officials
alleging conspiracy, knowing endangerment, obstruction of
justice and wire fraud for endangering the people of Libby
by concealing the well-documented hazards of the tremolite
asbestos.

The Low Dose Cumulative Effects of Toxic Chemicals (LDCETC)
must also be considered (16 see Chapt.1 first sentenc).

To simplify the complexity of the controversy (14), I will give this example.

Bill Moyers of the Public Broadcasting System did a show named Trade Secrets
and has created a web page of the same name (26). There is to much documentation
there to list, in regard to "industry" covering up the damage to OUR HEALTH from
toxic chemicals, for over fifty years.
Bill Moyers was tested for over 800 toxic chemicals and over 80 chemicals
(at various levels of exposure) were found, in him (26). That presents the
potential for more viable chemicals reaction variations than the pick six
lottery in one patient from the perspective of LDCETC's !
-
But the average American is now living much longer now than we did a hundred
years ago, before these chemicals existed. Therefor, science and modern (though
not perfect) must be doing some thing right.

For instance, the chlorine in the water stops parasites from hurting people.
The association of this chemical with some illnesses is still of concern. But
many more people would have died if it had not been for it. Many of these
other chemicals can also make people sick. But at this time there really is
not another way to feed and provide for everybody. In a cost effective manner.
If more people were aware of the problem, they too would be helping to find
a solution. But because of the "litigation" (law suits), the people that are
responsible and in control, are trying to hide the truth, as usual (1).

The "tolerable levels of exposure" to a (singular) toxic chemical have
been fraudulently produced for decades.

But it is well documented in the book "Toxic Deception (81) that they
have known this since the 1970's. In the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's,
Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT) performed about 35-40% of
all U.S. Toxicology testing. Of the 867 audits of IBT performed by the
FDA under the 1962 law, 618 were found to be invalid because of numerous
discrepancies between the study conduct and data. FDA flexed its muscles
and found four IBT managers guilty of fraud." Yet the EPA has still been
accepting these "studies" that are financed by industry, with out any real
review !

Test fraud again made headlines in 1994, when Craven Laboratories
was fined over 15 million dollars and its ... Fifty Years of Legislation,
by CAROLINE COX (132).
