This is outrageous. The child does not want it. The parents do not want it. But a gov’t bureaucrat has once again decided they know what’s best for someone else better than they do.
I would want to know their genetic background–most Amish came from Dutch/German stock…so it is possible that this family has the dreaded gluten intolerance and her immune system might be unable to fight off the cancer due to an inflamed gut. Not to mention whatever chemicals she has been exposed to from industry and farming.
But…no…the medical nazi’s will force her to take a highly toxic chemical that may or may not cure her of cancer. And they will turn their heads if by chance she is cured of this cancer, but later on develops yet another, more aggressive form of cancer due to the toxic chemicals they are putting into her now.
Like I have said many times–if I am stricken, I won’t go the chemo route, but try to fight it naturally and let nature take its course.
No one should be forced to take any medical treatment. Ever.
In the CNN piece, she mentions lesions in their respiratory systems…and my mind went to petroleum products as a cause. Notice that the reporter briefly mentions pollution as a problem, and immediately goes to bacteria and elaborates on that without discussing what pollution does to marine animals.
So….I searched and found this on the effects of the BP oil spill on the dolphins. (Apparently, BP didn’t get rid of ALL the evidence. /said with dripping sarcasm.)
Wow, look at this. The picture is showing globs of oil still sticking to a grad student after he had showered.
And remember “corexit”–the controversial *cough* clean up chemical (because it makes perfect sense to use chemicals to clean up petroleum chemicals…natch. /said with even more dripping sarcasm…)
Well…corexit is apparently still in the water, along with the globs of oil:
Tiny globs of it, mingled with the chemical dispersant that was supposed to break it up, have settled into the shallows, mingling with the shells, he said
~~~~~~~~~
Geologist James Kirby states that he wouldn’t want his grandchildren playing in the surf, and says this:
“The dispersant accelerates the absorption by the skin.”
~~~~~~
The dispersant accelerates absorption by the skin...meaning it’s making the oil even more toxic. Even worse is that corexit is interfering with bacteria that normally eat the oil after spills. Holy crap.
As always, it is wise to know who is funding research, and am glad to hear that Kirby’s funding is from a group independent of BP.
Also on my mind for a cause is mercury–which could be combining with the toxic petroleum and corexit–
I found this paper that I haven’t seen before on the connection between mercury and dolphins beaching themselves. This is important because it compares the dolphins that beached themselves with the same group. They were also going to test mercury levels in fossil teeth…gotta love the Aussies.
I thought this paragraph was interesting:
Historical gold mining, which up until the 1930s used mercury in gold extraction, is the likely main source of the heavy metal in the waters, says Thompson. The mercury has gradually washed down the Yarra and other rivers, and accumulated in the sediments of the bay. Current dredging work could further increase mercury levels in the food chain, he adds. The mercury levels he measured were already higher than those found in dolphins in other populations in polluted waters around the world, from the Mediterranean to costal India.
~~~~~~~~
This is not something I have come across before–mercury being used in gold extraction. Wonder how that has affected gold miners and water supplies in the U.S.?
Finally, I’ll leave you with this–Note the video clip of the trail of oil spilled that also follows the east coastline where the dolphins are beaching themselves:
This has to be one of the hardest blogs I’ve written to date….
I saw this in the Canadian news….but didn’t read it…just reading the lead-in made me want to skip it. It hits a little too close to home because this is more prevalent than people understand.
I’m not sure if this boy has been stricken because of vaccines/heavy metal poisoning, but given how many children are affected after receiving vaccines…I’m wondering…
…hatefulness towards the vulnerable/different is a phenomenon we mercury poisoned folks have noticed. At our sickest, we are very vulnerable and people pick up on that subconsciously. Now, there are good folks who realize you’re not well and they may or may not help, but they don’t make things worse by taking advantage of your situation. I think of them as angels walking the Earth. Truly, I was becoming sicker from mercury as I dealt with the aftermath of the bitter divorce…a very confusing and stressful time…and when I thought I couldn’t put one foot in front of another, one of these angels would say or do something kind…
Others, however, whom I characterize as feeding the dark, also pick up on that vulnerability …and attack. It’s kicking someone when they’re down. It is the most vile, hateful thing I’ve ever experienced or hope to experience.
Many members of the group have remarked on being abandoned by family. Their families don’t believe they have mercury poisoning, and they just need to “snap out of it”. It’s a sad and bewildering time for them. You might recall the mercury poisoned young lady whose family had abandoned her and she ended up living out of her car. She lost hope of ever getting well and committed suicide.
As you will see with the article’s comments, some put forth that the woman who wrote the letter is sick herself. Perhaps. It wouldn’t surprise me.
I hope that if this child is mercury toxic (and possibly Celiac) that his mother will be led to that as I was….
…and that the letter writer, if also stricken, will find it, too.
Here is an excellent piece on solving the mercury mystery….it’s not really that hard if one looks for it. But that would require work and persistence…
This passage really struck home to me:
He was only 44 years old. The cause of death, according to the ASA account, was lupus erythermatosis, an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own healthy tissue. According to his death certificate, as mentioned above, his brother, Ritchey, died of multiple myeloma — a cancer of the immune system, formed by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow.
~~~~~~~~
Mercury/heavy metals cause autoimmune diseases. They also cause cancer. I mean, they actually use nickel in labs to give rats cancer! These are well known, but rarely looked at by the medical profession…why??
Too much profit in providing medical care?? Too much profit for Big Pharma??
If you think not, just remember the story by Gary Null about the hospital in Washington state that first entertained the idea of liquid zinc helping women suffering from anorexia/bulimia…when the doc who discovered the connection was asked to speak before the hospital staff, the bean counters pulled the administrators aside and remarked that if a simple thing like liquid zinc could bring results in a week or so, what would happen to their $$$ profits on the eating disorders clinic…?? Yep.
As Shirley Chisholm said, “When profits come up against morality, it’s rare that profits lose.”
I, for one, would like to know the reasons that Larry Summers, a hedge fund manager, would be the optimal choice for Federal Reserve. WTH?
Pissed off at how much you’re taxed….well, how does this grab ya? You at least expect your taxes to go towards useful things like roads, police, fire, schools….but, no, it is going to subsidize these folks.
This is the latest–the treatment of the protestors by Chicago P.D. A note in the comments section said that over 900 people were arrested.
~~~~~~~~
On to other things–
Pandora’s lunchbox. Basically, like Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride tells GAPS patients….nothing processed is good for you–avoid it like the plague. Try to eat more raw than cooked food. Cooking destroys the enzymes in food–enzymes are used in all processes in your body. This includes digestion of proteins and other nutrients so that your body can utilize them. It won’t do your body any good if it lacks the enzymes to digest the nutrients.
~~~~~~~
Lastly, there’s nanotechnology everywhere. Is anybody regulating it? Well, yes and no. The FDA is regulating silver nanoparticals, but you know the FDA on the nanotechnology as a whole….throw it out there and hope nobody notices. Be sure to click on the links for Grist’s take (I knew there was a reason that I felt like I had sludge in my gut after eating M&M’s); also the link for Purdue’s report on the fish; and the effect on DNA. Yep.
Clearly, with all the evidence out there, the oil and gas industry has been allowed to get away with so much because Congress is so beholden to them.
Very little is said about solar or wind power when members of Congress are spouting the latest “the American people want…” schtick….and nobody ever proposes that the American public needs to reexamine their own energy usage.
Funny how during WWII, they didn’t have a problem asking folks “Is this trip necessary?” to save gas and keep tires from wearing out.
But now…?
*crickets*
It’s good to know some Americans are taking it upon themselves to reduce their gas usage by riding bikes. I know that is not always possible especially for disabled folk…but perhaps that problem could be solved if bikes were designed with disabled in mind? Surely some nerdy engineer could figure out how to design a bike that would be safe and easy for not-so-disabled folk?
Anyway, we are part of the problem, too. But we still need to tax the hell out of the oil and gas industry, for one–they’re less likely to cause trouble in D.C. with $$$ lobbyists if they don’t have wads of cash lying around…
<sigh> it took a Freedom of Information request by the AP to get this.
I rather doubt that it’s only been twelve times. And the troubling thing is that the EPA only considers human life valuable:
In a statement to the AP, the EPA defended its oversight of offshore fracking, saying its system ensures the practice does not pollute the environment in a way that would endanger human health.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
…because killing whales and fish isn’t important. Neither is contaminating the ocean water…oh, wait…the oil companies are putting freshy clean water back into the ocean when they’re done putting nasty chemicals that they won’t name into the ocean floor. I mean, there is no waaay that the oil companies would lie or minimize their impact. /snark
Really hard to deny the massive incidents when you see this.
You can’t even see Indiana from all the “incidents”. Nor Illinois nor Ohio. And Texas! A state that size that is practically obliterated by the dots should be up in arms about this. Some folks are wisening up, though–unfortunately, it’s after they become sick and unable to put up much of a fight.
I found this timeline on wikipedia. It’s pretty hard to deny how dirty this business is and how careless they are. Why should they care? They have Congress bought off….
Not only that, here are nuclear and radiation accidents…
…makes you feel all warm and cozy, doesn’t it? No?
