Mercury and Mega-Toxins Found in Certain Body Care Products
(NaturalNews) Mainstream body care products are oftentimes loaded with
synthetic chemicals that wreak havoc upon the body. Mercury has been
found in some of these products at levels as high as 300,000 parts per
million. Sodium lauryl sulfate and phthalates are present in most
mainstream brands, despite being tied to a number of conditions such as
cancer. The problem is that some "organic" brands really aren't very
organic at all, and they contain these mega-toxins. It is important to
know that your body care products really are free of toxic sludge.

Seattle, WA - Farmers and civil society organizations around the world are outraged by the recent discovery of further connections between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and agribusiness titan Monsanto.

I was doing some loose math and came up with an approximate ratio of 1000-2000 "good" parts dissolved minerals to 1 part fluoride in natural surface water i.e Great Lakes and the Oak Ridges Moraine creeks. When the FSA is added that ratio drops dramatically. For Toronto I worked it out to about 200 to 1 after fluoridation. (120 ppm TDS to .14 ppm F changed to 120 to .6)
Does this ratio hold, roughly, for the Fluoride Belt in S. Ontario i.e. the more natural F, the higher the dissolved Ca and Mg etc?

The key to the Aussie data and the very useful comments of the obviously highly-intelligent mayor of Norfolk County (see below) is geological context (i.e. drinking water source and chemistry).

Critics raise red flag over fluoride in tap water
MARTIN MITTELSTAEDT From Friday's Globe and Mail
November 23, 2007 at 9:27 AM EST
Nearly a half-century after water fluoridation became widespread, a small but growing number of medical officials and environmentalists are again raising concerns over the practice.
Recent research is suggesting that fluoride may be connected to a number of serious conditions, including the development in teenage boys of osteosarcoma, the rare bone cancer that killed Canadian icon Terry Fox, reduced intelligence levels in children, and impaired thyroid

The fluoride content in phosphate fertilizers, fluorine-based pesticides and fluoridated water are impacting our food supply. Currently there is no government program to measure or label fluoride content of foods in Canada.

Re: 'Fluoride's fine, says doctor; Halton medical officer says it's a problem if dose too high' (Nov. 21) I agree with Dr. Bob Nosal, Halton's medical officer of health, that fluoride is "a problem if dose is too high." The problem is you can't control the dose. The dose depends on how much water you drink and how much you get in food and dental products.

High Fructose Corn Syrup: Harmful or Not? High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a hidden source of sugar in a plethora of foods. Opponents of HFCS uphold that ubiquitous use of the product is to blame for the rocketing rates of diabetes and obesity. European countries have even banned widespread production of HFCS due to health concerns. But HFCS is big business in other countries, including the US and Canada. When consumers began questioning the use of this product, manufacturers became up in arms. One response is an aggressive marketing campaign launched by the Corn Refiners Association, which

However, since viruses do not have a metabolism to poison, host organisms which do have a metabolism take the full toxic kick of drugs like AZT - a discarded anti cancer drug too toxic for cancer patients) Because cancer cells grow much faster than normal cells, they are able to mutate and become resistant to the poisons.

The problem is, aspartame was not intended to be consumed in large quantities by a population of people who insisted on being in denial about what it means to have insatiable cravings for a refined compound with no nutritional value.
A nutritionist's perspective on psychiatric medications and some of their effects.: Monday, April 7, 2008
Aspartame and the brain As Americans, we assume and insist that our food be safe. We'll take spinach off the market the minute there's even a hint of e Coli. We're paranoid about mad cow disease. But when it comes to our beloved sugar? We'll go around and around and around about the safety of aspartame until we're blue in the face. We just don't want to admit that maybe we should not be insisting and expecting that we get to be healthy and have our sweeteners

Fluoride chemicals are added to 2/3 of U.S. public water supplies ostensibly to reduce tooth decay. Fluoride is found in dental products, supplements and virtually all foods and beverages (2).

The key question that will help to confound fluoridation pushers: Before you fluoridate - what study was carried out and published in a peer reviewed journal that demonstrated the total fluoride exposure in milligrams per day from all sources such as air, food, drugs, toothpastes (just try and find one that is fluoride free) food supplements and water for man, woman and child? If the experts have not determined how much fluoride individuals are ingesting from all these sources how can they possible say the public need more?Those who have good dental health don't need fluoride forced on them.

Chemical Food Additives - Are They Slowly Killing Our Children? By Lauralee NewsTarget.com Wednesday 17 January 2008 Let me start by saying a chemical additive doesn't necessarily 'appear' to be a problem immediately after ingestion. Quite often the effects are cumulative; a gradual build-up in the body produces roller-coaster days, some good, some bad. Some children are more sensitive to food chemicals and display immediate effects soon after ingestion of additives, colours in particular. In small amounts additives are not harmful.

How to Find out if You Have Food and CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES
By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege
Food and chemical sensitivities are estimated to affect up to 50 percent of Americans. At times more subtle and difficult to spot than true “allergies,” sensitivities cause a wide range of very individualized symptoms, from a foggy head to unexplained diarrhea, that can significantly decrease your quality of life.
Allergies and Sensitivities: What’s the Difference?
Although the terms allergy and sensitivity are often used interchangeably, some sensitivities are not true allergies. This does not mean that they do not interfere with your life or

Proof positive of fluoride's deadly decay
You know the addition of toxic fluoride to our water supplies is one of my major hot-button issues. I've written about it frequently over the past two years in both the Daily Dose and in my newsletter. But hold onto your hat, because I'm about to expose to you some of the most damning evidence yet that water fluoridation is completely founded on false pretenses... First, a little background: Although fluoride naturally occurs in most water supplies in varying amounts, we routinely add even more of this industrial toxin -

Pregnant Women Warned--MERCURY in Fish can Damage Infants' Brains
Research has shown that pregnant women should limit their intake of swordfish, tuna, shark and king mackerel because of their high levels of mercury, which can cause brain damage in unborn children.
The accumulation of toxic mercury, methyl mercury, found in fish and seafood is caused by pollution that in excess levels has been found to be particularly toxic to the nervous system and the developing brain of children. Traces of methyl mercury were found to be the highest in longer-lived large fish
Health officials have recommended that women of childbearing age should select fish such as

CDC, FDA Cover-Up of MERCURY in Vaccines Causing Autism
Are health agencies such as the CDC and the FDA covering up evidence that a mercury preservative in children’s vaccines resulted in an epidemic of autism?
Rita Shreffler of Nixa, Missouri sent her son’s baby tooth to a lab back in August 2001. A nine-year-old boy, Andy had been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a type of autism, just one year earlier. Shreffler had just read a report in the journal of Medical Hypotheses implying that mercury poisoning linked to an additive in children’s vaccines could be the cause of such neurological disorders.

MERCURY rising
I've written many times about the benefits of eating fish - especially cold-water varieties like salmon, trout, and cod. Among other vital nutrients, they're high in the Omega-3 fatty acids your heart needs to stay healthy and beating strong. But mass-produced "farmed" varieties of these healthy fishes often have higher-than-safe levels of mercury, lead, and other heavy metals accumulated in their tissues. And when people eat these foods, those toxins can find homes in their systems - or the bodies of their unborn children.

Dissecting Government Lies About VACCINES
In an effort to conserve on a shortage of vaccine doses, health officials asked doctors to further reduce the number of vaccines given to infants to protect them against meningitis and deadly blood infections. Doctors were reluctantly recommended to cut back their doses of the vaccine, Prevnar, to two doses per child until the supplies are replenished.
This action is estimated to save more than 1 million doses by July 2004, making widespread disruptions less likely. Wyeth, the sole manufacturer of Prevnar, a vaccine that protects against several pneumococcal bacteria, has had problems with

You Can Help Stop Toxic MERCURY Emissions Before it's Too Late!
Coal-fired power plants are the largest source of mercury emissions in the country and are a major reason why many of the nation’s fish are too toxic to eat. Under court order, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a set of rules to regulate mercury emissions from the 1,100 to 1,200 U.S. coal-fired power plants, but the proposed rules are even less strict than the federal Clean Air Act. While The Clean Air Act calls for a 90 percent to 95 percent reduction in mercury emissions by 2007, the new rules propose a target of a 29 percent reduction by 2007 and an industry-wide reduction

How Many PESTICIDES are in Your Food? Find Out Now!
By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege Break down the word “pesticide” and you’ll notice the Latin root “-icide,” which means “to kill.” Simply put, pesticides are poisons designed to kill, injure or impair an organism.
Pesticides were developed to protect crops from insects, rodents and other pests, as well as to control weeds, mold, bacteria and disease. The ideology is that this industrialized farming, complete with chemical pest control and synthetic fertilizers, would allow farmers to reap bigger harvests and larger returns for their crops.

U.S. Experts Struggle with Next Year's Flu VACCINE
The flu vaccine is reformulated each year to keep up with changes in the flu virus. However, U.S. vaccine experts meeting to formulate next year’s flu vaccine were having trouble deciding what to include in the vaccine, as studies show last winter’s vaccine may have been largely ineffective.
According to various studies, the effectiveness of last year’s flu vaccine ranged from none at all to 60 percent. This is because vaccine makers and health officials left a new strain called the Fujian influenza A strain, which caused more than 90 percent of flu cases, out of the vaccine mix. Officials

The study included 339 children ages 13 months or older who had chickenpox. The researchers found that the vaccine’s effectiveness went down a year after it was given, from an average of 97 percent effectiveness during the first year, to 84 percent in years two through eight. Further, the vaccine

Pressure-treated (CCA) wood, which has been in production for 70 years, will no longer be manufactured in the United States for residential use. This is good news as CCA wood (CCA is a toxic and carcinogenic wood preservative, chromated copper arsenate), often used for wooden decks, picnic tables and swing sets, contains arsenic--a known human carcinogen--that rubs off when the wood is touched.

Do You Microwave Your Food? You’re Zapping Away NUTRIENTS and Risking Your Healt
By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege
Sure, the microwave is convenient; what other device allows you to heat your food up in a matter of seconds? And they’re so widely used that you’d be hard-pressed to find a gas station or office building without one. But there’s a reason why I haven't had a microwave in my kitchen for over 15 years and--much to the distress of my employees--pulled it out of the office over three years ago. This is something that you likely already intrinsically suspect but don’t want to acknowledge due to the convenience factor--microwaves are bad for your food,

The Top-10 MYCO-TOXIC FOODS
Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Dr. Dave Holland is the co-author, with Doug Kaufmann, of the best-selling book The Fungus Link, and the new book, The Fungus Link, Volume 2. In these books, and in their other books (Infectious Diabetes, and The Germ that Causes Cancer) they discuss the ravages that yeast, fungi and their mycotoxins (fungal toxins) can cause us when we are exposed to them. Health problems ranging from cancer to heart disease to asthma, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes may all be related to mycotoxins. Mycotoxins cause a wide range of health problems in humans when we are exposed

Health Fear For Children Sparks Fury Over FLUORIDE
By Kamal Ahmed and Mark Townsend The Observer - UK
"Campaigners believe that once they have forced local votes, the public will decide against adding [fluoride] which in its basic form is regulated as a Class II poison. In large doses it is lethal." Sweeping new measures to allow fluoride to be added to large parts of Britain's water supply are set to provoke a huge political row amid fears that 'mass medication' may harm children and lead to more tooth disease. Ministers will try to force the new Water Bill through the House of Commons this week before a crucial vote on the

FLUORIDE: One community fights back against government-sponsored water poisoning
Bravo, residents of Cumberland, Maryland!
In a scenic city in mountainous western Maryland which marked the eastern boundary of the great, unsettled "frontier" back in the late 1700s, the pioneering spirit of what it used to mean to be American is alive and well. How so? Because a vocal group of the residents of Cumberland, Md. and surrounding Allegheny County are fighting tooth and nail to resist their local government's decision to pollute their drinking water with... The industrial waste product that's so poisonous, it was once legal to use only as a RAT POISON AND INSECTICIDE!

How is AGRIBUSINESS Adding Inches to Your Waist and Taking Years From Your Life?
Could the real cause of the obesity epidemic facing the nation be an overabundance of cheap food? According to this New York Times article by Michael Pollan, it could be--and it is. The central premise is that large-scale farmers are producing too much food, for instance “cheap corn” is transformed into “cheap beef,” and while these products are inexpensive they are greatly lacking in worthwhile nutrients. The end result is an excess of cheap, poor-quality calories that consumers are driven to consume. Dr. Mercola's Comment:

What happens when you IRRADIATE meat?
Ever seen the Incredible Hulk?
For years, I was undecided about irradiated meat. Having grown up in the age of the atomic bomb - and lived my adult life through 30 years of the Cold War - I suppose (like many Americans) I have a reflexive aversion to all things radiation. Also, I've seen the sometimes-harmful effects that often follow radiation therapy for cancer and other diseases. But being of a soundly clinical mind and empirically scientific constitution, I reserved judgment about the irradiation of meat products until sufficient evidence was in. After all, the claims and promises

It infects over 150 species of birds as well as mammals including squirrels, dogs, wolves, horses and mountain goats. Different types of mosquitoes are responsible for risk of disease in humans. One type feeds on birds and transmits the virus to other birds, which creates a large reservoir of WNV infection that starts to build in early spring. Another type of mosquito feeds on both birds and humans and can transmit the virus to humans. While mosquitoes represent the most

Hence the underling disease is prolonged, under such conditions, if indeed the patient is not killed outright from the compromised immune system. This the medical community then proudly calls "disease management"!
