Gulf Seafood | FDA Voice By: Michael R. Taylor, J.D. This week, the Fish and Wildlife Service will begin a series of public meetings on the draft plan for the restoration of damage to natural resources resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is natural that the discussion of this plan would also raise the question of whether Gulf seafood is safe to eat. The answer to that question is, yes. When the Deepwater Horizon spill occurred, there was a great deal of concern over the safety of the region’s seafood. When we developed the sampling program, we had to determine which components of the oil were harmful so we could test for their levels in the seafood. The FDA, NOAA, EPA, and the Gulf States, discussed and agreed on a level of PAHs that would raise a health concern. It is also important to understand the process we used to sample the seafood. This process of double testing is not unlike the screening we go through when entering a court house, for example.
Inexpensive Arsenic Filtration System Based on Cattails Could Help Clean Up the Drinking Water of 57 Million People Photos: Jon Clark/Flickr, CC Awesome Discovery! According to the World Health Organization's fact sheet about arsenic in drinking water, there are between 46-57 million people globally who are exposed to levels of arsenic higher than the "safe" 0.01 mg/l. Many of those are in poor countries where expensive filtration systems are out of reach, which is why Jeremiah Jackson's invention is so important! It all started when Jeremiah's brother told him about the big problem of arsenic in drinking water in eastern India and Bangladesh. Jackson says: In India, it chronically shortened people's life spans to 55 years, which is about 35 years less than what we have; and primarily that's attributed to the arsenic poisoning. How to Get that Arsenic Out? First he started by looking at what was already known about arsenic removal by aquatic plants, and found pretty much nothing.

I have always had a The Great American Genocide | We’ve reached the point that any person with critical thinking skills can no longer deny that we are being deliberately poisoned. Nearly everything that is reasonably priced to eat or drink is actually toxic. The glowing health claims and the stamps of approval from the EPA, the FDA, and USDA, are fraudulent smoke and mirrors – people are actually being deceived into spending money to purchase the substances that will lead to disease and demise. A chemical warfare has been declared on us. Turning on the tap in many places releases a toxic stream into your glass or your shower. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Chlorine: This removes disease-causing bacteria, which is great, but it also creates numerous toxic by-products, like chloroform and trihalomethanes. According to Dr. Ammonia: To undo some of the carcinogenic effects of the added chlorine, some facilities are also adding ammonia to the chlorinated water in order to meet EPA standards.

Solutions to America’s Invisible Health Care Crises: A Call For A Nationwide General Strike 26th June 2013 © Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri Guest Writer for Wake Up World America’s Invisible Crises – Connecting the Dots (Part 3) “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” - Mahatma Gandhi This is the first time in human history that we face a constant, deliberate, and multi-pronged assault on our health. Added to these are chemical-based hormone disruptors, brain excitotoxins, and the now chronic exposure to the EMF spectrum and aerosol Chemtrails. There are also three more poisons that I want to include briefly: fluoride, chlorine, and nuclear radiation. Fluoride Fluoride is a known systemic poison. The use of fluoride in thousands of our water supply systems was a long-term, covert crime to find a way to get rid of it as a nuclear waste by-product. www.democracynow.org/2004/6/17/the_fluoride_deception_how_a_nuclear One of the best documentaries, FLUORIDEGATE, on fluoride’s history and toxicity is the new one done by Dr. www.youtube.com/watch? and
The Fluoride Deception: How a Nuclear Waste Byproduct Made Its Way Into the Nation’s Drinking Water Hailed as a harmless chemical that would prevent tooth decay, new evidence shows how fluoride could be linked to serious health problems. Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of the second World War. Proponents argued that fluoride in water and toothpaste would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country. While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be unquestionable, accumulating evidence points to a frightening prospect: that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ. Now a new book, titled "The Fluoride Deception" by Christopher Bryson examines the background of the fluoridation debate. Christopher Bryson, has reported science news stories for many media outlets including the BBC, Christian Science Monitor and the Discovery Channel. This is a rush transcript. CHRISTOPHER BRYSON: Thank you for having me.
Global Water Risks Remember the drought that hit the U.S. in 2012? It was a big deal, even if it didn’t personally affect you. In fact, 53% of the country was dealing with what the USDA calls "moderate to extreme drought" by July. Over 1,000 counties were declared federal disaster areas. Aqueduct, a new map from the World Resources Institute (WRI), throws the world’s growing water woes into stark relief. The project, created with an alliance of companies including GE, Goldman Sachs, Shell, and Procter & Gamble, is the highest high-resolution map of global water stress available today. "The beauty of the tool is that it allows you to look at individual indicators but richly layers all of those together and aggregates them to give an overall water-risk picture," says Otto. "We set the water risk framework to speak to the business community, to the private sector, but we’re getting good feedback that the public sector and NGOs are going to use this information. Check out the map here.
They Are Coming For Our Water Dave HodgesActivist Post America is under attack in so many ways, it is difficult to count. Along these lines, there is presently a three-pronged globalist plot designed to subjugate the people of this country. These three elements include (1) controlling the nations' water supplies by creating massive debt forcing governments to relinquish control over its water supplies; (2) private individuals and corporations are acquiring and hoarding massive amounts of water; and, (3) the Environmental Protection Agency is presently engaged in activities, on behalf of the UN’s Agenda 21 policies, to use the control of water to also control food production and eliminate private property ownership. The Path to American Totalitarianism If a totalitarian government desired to control the people of the United States, garrisoning the country with an army of occupation would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
