Chemtrails - How To Read Between
The Lines In The Sky
By Annette McCann
2-19-1
Like all of the facets of the "conspiracy, there is a
handful of people who have dedicated a significant
portion of their lives to investigating the
international "chemtrails controversy. As knowledge
increases, the ability to ascertain "who is spraying the
people of the world and "why they are doing it also
increases. The article below frames the questions and
then gives us the most likely answers about the "who and
the "why.

By Victoria Winston

The U.S. government has a long and sordid record of
using Americans as unwitting guinea pigs. The Army's own
records and numerous congressional investigations
confirm that both civilians and military personnel have
been continually "tested" with poisonous injections,
psychotropic drugs and aerial spraying during numerous
covert projects.

Similar to Brad Will, I am meeting Harriett Fels after she has gone.....
Harriett Fels - Gilles - Sharon (Amari) in their California home circa 1996
SEE HARRIETT AT 16 YEARS OLD BELOW…

My friend Harriett passed away few weeks ago. I am still in a state of shock. Harriett was the one who was supposed to live longer than any of us. She believed it and we all believed it. But Life decided otherwise and now she’s gone.

I have written the following text to be read at her Memorial tonight in California (If you knew Harriet please leave a comment below):

I met Harriett in the early 80s. We were both doing EST Seminars and I quickly noticed this beautiful and vivacious young woman who kept asking questions about the essence of Life and the nature of Truth. She would challenge the leaders and would want to go deeper into any topics whether it was Love, Freedom, Intention, Relationships, everything… She was a Seeker, always looking for the most profound answers.

Treatments for Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders and Oncology

Treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders share some common characteristics. All of these disorders are treated by both medication and diet. Autoimmune disorder is a result of the body responding to diseases as if they are foreign and threatening elements, even though they are healthy body parts. In this case, the body believes that its normal parts are diseased, and it attacks parts of it. This attack can occur in many places, including the lungs, skin, liver, among others. Autoimmune diseases are common illness, such as rheumatoid arthritis, narcolepsy, allergies, psoriasis, and many others.

Treatments for autoimmune illnesses are often aggressive, especially when these disorders and disease are life-threatening. They are very serious ailments that greatly affect the patient’s life. Approximately 80 illnesses have been identified that are thought to be caused by autoimmune disorders.

Inflammatory responses are the body’s natural response to any disease or foreign cells that invade it. If the inflammation is not stopped, it can cause heart attacks, stroke, cancer, or destroy brain cells in addition to causing pain and other disorders. Inflammation is swelling deep within the tissues, and it happens when the body’s white blood cells attack the organs.

Oncology related disorders can be treated in similar ways since all produce similar symptoms in those who are affected. An elevated body temperature, pain, and unexplained weight loss are shared by those affected by autoimmune and inflammatory disorders as well as by cancer. In addition, all of these diseases increase the body’s autoimmune response. The difference is that in oncology, or cancer, the body actually does respond to a foreign invader, whereas in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, the body attacks itself.

A common and helpful treatment for autoimmune and cancer patients is an exercise routine and a healthy diet. Some physicians recommend eliminating sugar from the diet. Some research has shown that all forms of sugar, including fructose, sucrose, and glucose lessen the white blood cells ability to destroy foreign agents in the body as they are meant to do. Fish oil with vitamin E has been shown in research to delay autoimmune response in mice, and doctors believe that it is helpful to patients with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders as well. Supplements with omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish or flax, combined with omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid can lessen inflammation as well.

Patients are recommended to consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, eat dairy products that are low in fat, eat poultry and fish, brown rice and whole grains. Part of the treatment also includes the antioxidants vitamins C and E as well as green tea, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory characteristics. Beta-carotene and selenium are also helpful, so patients are generally advised to take a multi-vitamin supplement each day.

In severe cases, doctors treat these disorders with corticosteroid drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressant drugs that stop the immune response and progression of the disease. Sometimes radiation of the lymph nodes is used as well as plasmapheresis, the removal of harmful molecules and cells from the blood.

Cancer treatment usually involves removal of a tumor through surgery, and follow-up with radiation or chemotherapy is also required for cancers that may not have been completely removed from the body through surgery. If the cancer is located in a part of the body that is inoperable, radiation or chemotherapy may be used to treat this disease as well.

NitroTech
EXCERPT:

Short-Term Side Effects
•Nitro-Tech may cause bloating or gas, and both may be caused by taking too much Nitro-Tech in one sitting. Neither side effect is particular reason for alarm, though if either condition persists, stop using Nitro-Tech.

In order to avoid a gassy feeling, it is suggested the Nitro-Tech be taken with water rather than milk.

Nitro-Tech contains aspartame.
Bottom Line
•Nitro-Tech is an effective muscle-building supplement, though it is one of the more expensive of its genre. Anecdotal evidence shows that chocolate is the most popular flavor and that the powdered version of the supplement may clump and be difficult to mix.

Nitro-Tech is available at brick-and-mortar nutrition stores, including GNC, or may be ordered online.

Does anabolic automatically signal steroid
EXCERPT:
Hey, ive been looking for a slightly more advanced supplement (with limited creatine) and ive been looking at some different companies (I have been using GNCs own Whey Protein). I have noticed that the term anabolic gets thrown around a lot. I was wondering, since i don't really understand the science behind all of this yet, does anabolic signal steroid? I know the term anabolic steroids (though again, i don't understand exactly what they do), but i wasn't sure if anabolic was synonymous with steroids. Specifically, i'll use a musletech product for example. I was looking at the Nitro-Tech Hardcore. Are there steroids in this product? It talks about anabolically infused ______, but i can't translate it.

Neotame is just another name for Aspartame
EXCERPT:
Neotame is simply aspartame, just tweaked a little so it could be eligible for another patent. Like aspartame, neotame is a very potent and highly questionable man-made compound. BUT, neotame does not have to carry the PKU warning on its label, as aspartame is required to do by law, so its addition to products goes without warning. This is a serious problem for those with PKU, anyone who carries the PKU gene, or are PKU recessive.

Just HOW did this happen? Maybe one day we'll find out. Maybe!?

The FDA was petitioned in 1997 to approve neotame for use as a tabletop sweetener, and neotame was finally FDA approved for commercial marketing on July 9, 2002 as a general-use sweetener and flavor enhancer in the flowing foods and beverages:
•Chewing gum;
•Carbonated soft drinks;
•Refrigerated and non-refrigerated ready-to-drink beverages;
•Frozen desserts and novelties;
•Puddings and fillings;
•Yogurt-type products;
•Baked goods;
•Candies.

Mike Stratton
EXCERPT:
Here's what the Journal didn't mention about Stratton:
1) In 1994, Stratton was paid more than $90k by Tobacco Giant RJR to develop a grass roots campaign of Smokers' Rights Groups, presumably to push back on increased regulation of smoking and lawsuits. (Click here.)

According to an a report by the American Lung Association of Colorado,

"RJR employed state and local recruiters to organize smokers in cities and towns across Colorado, and paid field organizers to keep them motivated. The company used public relations experts to maximize the groups effectiveness. RJR's goal was to establish 25 local smokers' rights groups in Colorado alone. By 1991, RJR's field coordinator William Fox had established smokerÕs rights groups in Denver, Englewood, Pueblo, Greeley, Fort Collins, Aurora, Arvada, Colorado Springs, Longmont, Loveland, Boulder, Lakewood, Grand Junction, Gilpin County and Lamar, and planned groups in Littleton, Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster and Broomfield.(24)

RJR piloted its Partisan Project in California, Oregon and Colorado, since the industry was facing excise tax increases and smoking ban initiatives in these states. The company planned to deploy smokersÕ rights groups "in all metro areas over 25,000 population and other targeted areas" in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. (108) RJR also employed Mike Stratton of the Denver firm Stratton, Reiter, Dupree and Durante to organize smokers' rights groups in Colorado.(110)

The story of Galleon Group, the hedge fund at the heart of the biggest insider-trading scandal in decades, has plenty of colorful characters from a billionaire whose charitable donations ended up aiding rebels in Sri Lanka to a foul-mouthed ex-Bear Stearns executive who befriended a mild-mannered IBM vice president.

Here's a guide to the scandal's most colorful quotes and anecdotes:

- Leon Shaulov, a loudmouth senior trader at Galleon, once turned on a colleague, Gary Rosenbach, in front of the rest of the staff, screaming: "You're a disease, you're a jinx."

- Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam once "paid $4 million to have Kenny Rogers come to a birthday party at his house and sing his favorite song, 'The Gambler,' over and over again. Kenny refused to go on after a dozen times."

- Anyone who arrived late at Galleon's morning meeting of 70 analysts, portfolio managers and traders was fined $25.

Straight from the indictment of co-defendants Danielle Chiesi and Mark Kurland, both from the hedge fund New Castle, and Robert Moffat, the IBM officer who provided them with information regarding AMD, IBC, and Sun Microsystems, come some incredibly insightful quotes caught on government wiretaps:

US Produce plant shutdown
EXCERPT:
The state health department traced six of 10 known cases of listeriosis during an eight month period to celery processed at the SanGar plant. On Wednesday the agency shut down the plant and ordered the company to recall all the produce that has passed through the plant since January.

The agency is investigating the origins of the other four cases, which include one death.

Galvan said the company hopes to receive results from the FDA as early as Friday. He said the agency collected its own sample from the plant Oct. 15.

Don Kraemer, the FDA's Office of Food Safety deputy director, has said a decision on whether to expand the recall will be made once the FDA learns more.

Carly Fiorina wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Hewlett-Packard
In July 1999, Hewlett-Packard Company named Fiorina chief executive officer succeeding Lewis Platt and prevailing over the internal candidate Ann Livermore.[22] She became the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 company.[23] Fiorina immediately became a highly visible chief executive, and remained so throughout her tenure at the company with a vast array of engineering talent at her disposal.[24]

Fiorina proceeded to reorganize HP, and merge the part she kept with the PC maker Compaq. Although the decision to spin-off the company's technical equipment division predated her arrival, one of her first major responsibilities as chief executive was overseeing the separation of the unit into the standalone Agilent Technologies. In 2000, Fiorina proposed the acquisition of computer-services business EDS, but withdrew the bid after the proposal received a poor reception from HP shareholders.[25] While Fiorina's 2000 bid to acquire EDS was abandoned, HP did go on to purchase the company in 2008. In 2001, Fiorina was named one of the thirty most powerful women in America by Forbes magazine.[26] In 2002, in the wake of the bursting of the Tech Bubble, Fiorina spearheaded a controversial merger with Compaq, a leading competitor in the industry. Fiorina fought for the merger, and it was implemented despite strong opposition from board member Walter Hewlett (the son of company co-founder William Hewlett) who claimed that the merger was being pursued by Fiorina in desperation to make a strategic decision and to give her some breathing space from Wall Street.

Morning Vid: 'Waste-Cutting' Fiorina Can't Name a Single Program She'd Cut
Buzz up! ..Erik Hayden Erik Hayden – Mon Oct 18, 9:14 am ET
WASHINGTON, DC – California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, who has billed herself as a "tough choices" decision maker, has consistently voiced support for extending Bush tax cuts for high earners. The cuts, which would reportedly add an estimated $4 trillion dollars* to the national debt, became a heated topic of debate on Fox News's Chris Wallace on Sunday. Wallace asks this question, "As a bottom line businesswoman, where are you going to find $4 trillion to cut?" Fiorina struggles to give a specific response.

At first, she tries to skirt the question, stating that government has grown steadily over the past sixty years, that that in the "last two it's gotten really out of control," and that she was in favor of banning earmarks. Wallace presses to name one specific program. Instead, Fiorina chooses to discuss spending, taking a dig at "career politicians" like her opponent Barbara Boxer. Again, Wallace seeks an answer from Fiorina, who names some statistic-filled talking points, but still doesn't list any entitlement programs to cut.

Why Starbucks sucks
EXCERPT:
But how bad is Starbucks, really? I decided to find out.

1. Clean water is such a precious commodity in the world these days, but Starbucks didn’t seem to care. Their “leave the tap running all day” policy created an eco-scandal to the tune of 23 million litres wasted every day. Less than a year later, they’re installing water-saving faucets which purport to reduce water wastage by 150 gallons per day, per store. Note, they only changed their wasteful ways after they got caught.

2. Although some people claim that having a Starbucks in the neighborhood is actually good for local mom & pop cafes, the long-running belief is that Starbucks turns the uniquely local neighborhood vibe into cookie-cutter corporate…well, crap. Perhaps it’s really just a matter of taste, but most of your dollars spent at a Starbucks location will end up in the pockets of distant executives – and not circulate in your local economy.

Starbucks: The Wal-Mart of Coffee

"Clustering: The Starbucks Model" , p. 135-40.
-from No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, No Space, No Choice, No Jobs, No Logo by Naomi Klein (1999)

"A Comforting Third Place" is the phrase Starbucks uses to promote itself in its newsletters and evangelical annual reports. This is not just another non-space like Wal-Mart or McDonalds, it's an intimate nook where sophisticated people can share "coffee... community... camaraderie... connection."

Everything about New Age chains like Starbucks is designed to assure us that they are a different breed from the strip-mall franchises of yesterday. This isn't dreck for the masses, it's intelligent furniture, it's cosmetics as political activism, it's the bookstore as an "old-world library",' it's the coffee shop that wants to stare deep into your eyes and "connect."

In addition, since 2003, when it was detected in some chilli powder imported from India, all chilli coming into the EU must be accompanied by a certificate showing it has been tested and found to be free of Sudan dye.

Despite stricter rules, the chemical has recently been found in a range of food products in the UK and other EU Member States. It was contained in a chilli powder which was used by Premier Foods to make Worcester sauce. The sauce was then added to a variety of food stuffs, including soups, sauces and ready meals.

Almost 600 food products are currently known to be contaminated and must be withdrawn from sale. A list of the products is available on the Food Standards Agency website.

Of the 200 recipients of the Worcester sauce identified by UK in their country, at least 20 have sent products to other Member States of the EU.

The problem of food safety controls
The Sudan I emergency has highlighted deficiencies in food safety controls in the EU. In particular, the Food Safety Agency (FSA) waited nearly two weeks to make a public announcement after being notified of the problem on 7 February.

The European Commission has criticised the Agency for providing the updated information on the situation through their website and not through the channel of Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).

It also pointed out that the information provided by he UK was not enough for other Member States to carry out investigations within their country. It reiterated the need that UK should identify all the clients which have received the contaminated sauce.

The new European Commission has pledged to place food safety controls high on the political agenda. By the end of 2005, it is expected to publish a White Paper on "Better Training for Safer Food" in order to promote a harmonised approach to the operation of Community and national control systems and ensure that official controls are implemented correctly and in a uniform way across the EU.

Rules on food additives
The scandal with Sudan I has also given risen to questions on how the issue of food additives is regulated throughout Europe. In particular, why are some of them allowed in certain EU countries, and banned in others ?

The EC Directive of 1989 (amended in 1994) introduced standard codes (the so-called E-numbers) that are used to identify colourings, preservatives and other agents on food labels. Giving an additive an E number means that it has been tested for safety and approved for use within the EU.

However, some additives - those without an E number - may be permitted in some EU Member States and banned in others. For instance, a number of colourings judged safe in the UK are not authorised in the the Nordic countries due to their supposed links to allergic reactions or hyperactivity in children.

Dr. Strangelove wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (commonly known as Dr. Strangelove) is a 1964 black comedy film directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens and Tracy Reed. Loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert, a.k.a. Two Hours to Doom, Dr. Strangelove satirized the nuclear scare.

The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, and follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse, as well as the crew of one B-52 as they attempt to deliver their payload.

In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was listed as number three on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs.

However, unlike norovirus, the standard flu and H1N1 (swine flu) viruses generally cause a cough, runny nose, and sore throat, he says. Also, most cases of norovirus resolve themselves in a day or two. “Anything that lasts longer than that, see a doctor,” says Dr. Dees. (However, don’t wait if your symptoms are severe.)

Can you remove fluoride by boiling water
Can You Remove Fluoride By Boiling Water?
Tuesday April 7, 2009

Some people want fluoride in their drinking water, while others seek to remove it. One of the most common questions I get relating to fluoride removal is whether or not you can boil fluoride out of your water. The answer is no. If you boil water or leave it on a hot plate for an extended period of time, the fluoride will become more concentrated, remaining in the water as a fluorine salt.

However, you can boil water to remove fluoride if you capture the water that is evaporated and condense it (distill it). The water you collect will contain much less fluoride than your starting water. As an example, when you boil a pot of water on the stove, the fluoride concentration in the water in the pot increases. The water that escapes as steam contains much less fluoride.

Salt fluoridation – an alternative in automatic prevention of dental caries
International Dental Journal (2005) 55, 351-358
T. M. Marthaler, Zurich, Switzerland
P.E. Petersen, Geneva, Switzerland

Abstract
Despite great improvements in terms of reduced prevalence and amount of dental caries in populations worldwide, problems still persist particularly among the underprivileged groups of both developed and developing countries. Research and practical experience gained in several countries have demonstrated however, that dental caries can be prevented effectively through establishment of fl uoride programmes. Water fl uoridation, salt fl uoridation, milk fl uoridation and use of affordable fl uoridated toothpastes play the major roles in public health. The present paper outlines the relevance and some practical aspects in relation to implementation of salt fl uoridation programmes. The World Health Organisation Oral Health Programme provides technical assistance to countries in the process of planning, implementing and evaluating salt fl uoridation projects.

Norovirus wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Norovirus (formerly Norwalk agent) is an RNA virus (taxonomic family Caliciviridae) that causes approximately 90% of epidemic non-bacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world,[1] and may be responsible for 50% of all foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the US.[2][3] Norovirus affects people of all ages. The viruses are transmitted by faecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact,[4] and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces.[5]

After infection, immunity to norovirus is usually incomplete and temporary.[6] There is an inherited predisposition to infection, and individuals with blood type O are more often infected,[1][7] while blood types B and AB can confer partial protection against symptomatic infection.[8][9]

Outbreaks of norovirus infection often occur in closed or semi-closed communities, such as long-term care facilities, overnight camps, hospitals, prisons, dormitories, and cruise ships where the infection spreads very rapidly either by person-to-person transmission or through contaminated food.[10] Many norovirus outbreaks have been traced to food that was handled by one infected person.[11]

Norovirus is rapidly inactivated by sufficient heating and by chlorine-based disinfectants, but the virus is less susceptible to alcohols and detergents as it does not have a lipid envelope.[12]

Brazil Quarantines Cruise Ship Over Food Poisoning
Brazil officials say 310 stricken by food poisoning on cruise ship in Brazil

Hundreds of passengers aboard an international cruise ship were stricken with vomiting and diarrhea, prompting a temporary quarantine of the vessel in southeastern Brazil, health authorities said Thursday.

At least 310 people suffered "some kind of food poisoning aboard" the Vision of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean International, a spokeswoman for the National Agency for Sanitary Vigilance said. She spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with department policy.

She said the first case was detected on Wednesday, prompting the agency to order all 1,987 passengers and 765 crew members to remain on the ship anchored at Buzios, near Rio de Janeiro.

She said it was unclear how many of those stricken were passengers or crew members, "but most were passengers."

The ship left the port of Santos on Monday for a four-day tour with scheduled stops in the coastal resorts of Buzios and Ilhabela.

It was allowed to leave Buzios Thursday afternoon and was expected to arrive in Santos around midnight. The agency spokeswoman said passengers who showed no symptoms would be free to leave. Those still ill would be taken to hospitals for treatment, with expenses paid by Royal Caribbean.

A breakdown of the nationalities of the passengers was not immediately available, but Royal Caribbean spokesman Alexandre Raith said "the vast majority are Brazilian."

The agency spokeswoman said doctors collected blood and urine samples and inspected food supplies to determine the cause of the food poisoning. Results won't be ready for a few weeks she added.

In January last year at a port in Salvador in northeastern Brazil, hundreds of passengers on a Swiss-owned cruise ship were also stricken with severe vomiting and diarrhea caused by food poisoning.

How stuffs work
Is Tooth Whitening Safe?
Most studies confirm that tooth whitening is safe and effective. Whitening gels that contain 10 percent carbamide peroxide (equivalent to 3.6 percent hydrogen peroxide) have not been shown to cause any damage to the enamel of the tooth. Higher concentrations of carbamide and hydrogen peroxide available from the dentist may weaken the enamel, but most of these formulas also contain fluoride offsetting this potential side-effect. People who use higher concentrations of whitening agents can also receive prescription fluoride gels from their dentist to help further protect their teeth.

If tooth sensitivity or gum irritation occur, it is best to start using the whitening product less frequently -- say, every other day instead of every day -- and reduce the amount of time spent whitening. Prescription fluoride is also used to treat sensitivity sometimes associated with tooth whitening. Irritation of the gums can occur from either the in-office, at-home or over-the-counter tooth whitening systems. Gum irritation is usually mild and reversible, but can be treated with over-the-counter products such as Orajel.



Alloxan and streptozotocin are widely used to induce experimental diabetes in animals
EXCERPT:
The mechanism of alloxan and streptozotocin action in B cells of the rat pancreas.

Abstract
Alloxan and streptozotocin are widely used to induce experimental diabetes in animals. The mechanism of their action in B cells of the pancreas has been intensively investigated and now is quite well understood. The cytotoxic action of both these diabetogenic agents is mediated by reactive oxygen species, however, the source of their generation is different in the case of alloxan and streptozotocin. Alloxan and the product of its reduction, dialuric acid, establish a redox cycle with the formation of superoxide radicals. These radicals undergo dismutation to hydrogen peroxide. Thereafter highly reactive hydroxyl radicals are formed by the Fenton reaction. The action of reactive oxygen species with a simultaneous massive increase in cytosolic calcium concentration causes rapid destruction of B cells. Streptozotocin enters the B cell via a glucose transporter (GLUT2) and causes alkylation of DNA. DNA damage induces activation of poly ADP-ribosylation, a process that is more important for the diabetogenicity of streptozotocin than DNA damage itself. Poly ADP-ribosylation leads to depletion of cellular NAD+ and ATP. Enhanced ATP dephosphorylation after streptozotocin treatment supplies a substrate for xanthine oxidase resulting in the formation of superoxide radicals. Consequently, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are also generated. Furthermore, streptozotocin liberates toxic amounts of nitric oxide that inhibits aconitase activity and participates in DNA damage. As a result of the streptozotocin action, B cells undergo the destruction by necrosis.

Working amid the rubble of the World Trade Center may have aged the lungs of firefighters and rescue workers by an average of 12 years, a new study shows.
"It's pretty shocking," says John Balmes, a professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco who reviewed the research, published today in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, but was not involved in writing it. "They got 12 years' worth of loss in one year."

Abstract
Human mesothelial cells (HMC), the progenitor cells of asbestos-induced mesothelioma, are particularly sensitive to the genotoxic effects of asbestos, although the molecular mechanisms by which asbestos induces injury in HMC are not well known. The high susceptibility of HMC to simian virus 40 (SV40)-mediated transformation is assumed to play a causative role in the pathogenesis of mesothelioma. The aim of this study was to investigate the asbestos-induced DNA damage in cultured HMC and SV40-transformed HMC (MeT-5A) compared with their malignant counterparts, i.e. human mesothelioma cells (MSTO). The time-dependent initiation of DNA-strand breaks as well as the induction of oxidative DNA base modifications were key factors for investigation. HMC, MeT-5A and MSTO cells were exposed to chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos (3 microg/cm2) during different time periods (1-72 h). DNA damage was investigated by use of the Comet assay and alkaline unwinding, the latter in combination with the Fpg protein. The P53 level was analyzed by immunofluorescence, and measurement of apoptosis was conducted by flow cytometry. We found a significant induction of DNA damage in asbestos-treated HMC already after an exposure time of 1.5 h. This effect could not be observed in treated MeT-5A and MSTO cells. Also, a time-dependent significant increase in DNA-strand breaks was observed by alkaline unwinding in asbestos-treated HMC, but not in treated MeT-5A and MSTO cells. In none of the three cell lines we could detect oxidative DNA damage recognized by the Fpg protein (e.g. 8-oxo-guanine), up to 24 h after exposure to asbestos. In contrast to what was found in HMC, P53 was over-expressed in untreated MeT-5A and MSTO. The induction of apoptosis by asbestos fibers was suppressed in MeT-5A and MSTO cells. Crocidolite fibers induced the higher genotoxic effects and chrysotile the more pronounced apoptotic effects. We conclude that asbestos induces DNA damage in HMC already after a very short exposure time in the absence of 8-oxo-guanine formation. The presence of SV40-Tag in MeT-5A and MSTO cells results in an increased expression of P53, but not in additive genotoxic effects after exposure to asbestos. The deregulation of the apoptotic pathway may lead to proliferation of genomically damaged cells and finally to the development of mesothelioma.

Being able to sequence a human genome for $1,000 or less (which is the price most insurance companies are willing to pay) could open a new era in personal medicine, making it possible to precisely diagnose the cause of many diseases and tailor drugs and treatment procedures to the genetic make-up of an individual.

"Despite the tremendous interest in using nanopores for sequencing DNA, it was unclear how, exactly, nanopores could be used to read the DNA sequence," said U. of I. physics professor Aleksei Aksimentiev. "We now describe one such method."

Depleted Uranium, Mercury and Diabetes
EXCERPT:
DNA and Mitochondrial Time Bombs: Uranium, Mercury and Diabetes
By Mark Sircus

Forget Cancer, forget AIDS, Diabetes is fast becoming the king of all chronic disease which is decimating the human race.

The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta declares that 33% of the babies born this year will be diabetic by the year 2050. — Dr. Alan Cantwell

Diabetes, which is expanding almost exponentially in the world today, can in part be traced to the increasing radiation to which we are all being exposed. Every physician knows that radiation can lead to cancer, but making a connection between depleted uranium (DU) and diabetes seems ludicrous at first glance. Unfortunately it is not. Most medical doctors have never heard of this but neither have they paid attention to the fact that mercury and other toxic chemicals are also primary causes of diabetes. Even though there is little research into the connection between radiation poisoning and diabetes we should not remain blind, deaf and dumb about it.

Diabetes is a disease that affects a person’s every cell because it has to do with energy metabolism and the vastly important hormone insulin and its receptor sites.

Type two diabetes, which is fundamentally due to nutritional deficiencies (especially a lack of magnesium) colliding head on with a host of chemical poisons and heavy metals, is also being triggered by the heavy metal toxicity and radioactivity of uranium oxide and other radioactive isotopes that are circulating widely in the environment. Unfortunately, exposure levels are increasing dramatically with each ton of vaporized depleted uranium but that is not stopping the American and British governments from manufacturing, selling and using depleted uranium weaponry.

“Depleted (DU) uranium is highly toxic to humans, both chemically as a heavy metal and radiological as an alpha particle emitter, is very dangerous when taken internally,” writes Dr. Rosalie Bertell, Canadian Epidemiologist.i A new study, conducted by biochemist Dr. Diane Stearns at Northern Arizona University confirms that, separate from any radiation risks, cells exposed to uranium will bond with the metal chemically.ii Uranium and phosphate have a strong chemical affinity for each other and the DNA and Mitochondria are loaded with phosphate so uranium is a DNA and Mitochondria deep penetration bomb. The uranium is attacking on fundamental cellular levels while mercury offers a knock out punch by attacking the sulfur bonds besides being highly toxic to nerve cells. It’s totally crucial to medical practice in the 21st century to understand this convergence of toxicities. We can now clearly see what is being attacked and who are mortal enemies are. Invisible clouds of radiation are meeting up with what can only be called The Hun Hordes of Mercury. Mercury now sits across our planetary environment everywhere, an invisible chemical cloud whose density is only increasing.

Diabetes is often conceptualized as a severe imbalance of part of the endocrine system that destroys our ability to metabolize food. The imbalance results in elevated levels of insulin, a lack of insulin, or the cell insulin receptor sites becoming insensitive to insulin.

Abstract
AIM: To study the effect of fluoride on oxidative stress, DNA damage
and apoptosis as well as cell cycle of ratoral mucosal cells and hepatocytes.

METHODS: Ten male SD rats weighing 80~120 g were randomly divided into control group and fluoride group, 5 animals each group. The animals in fluoride group had
free access to deionized water containing 150 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF). The animals in control group were given distilled water.

Four weeks later, the animals were killed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in oral mucosa and liver were measured by Fenton reaction, lipid peroxidation
product, malondialdehyde (MDA), was detected by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction, reduced glutathione (GSH) was assayed by dithionitrobenzoic acid (DTNB)
reaction. DNA damage in oral mucosal cells and hepatocytes was determined by single cell gel (SCG) electrophoresis or comet assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle in oral
mucosal cells and hepatocytes were detected by flow cytometry.

RESULTS: The contents of ROS and MDA in oral mucosa and liver tissue of fluoride group were significantly higher than those of control group ( P < 0.01), but the level of GSH was markedly decreased (P < 0.01). The contents of ROS, MDA and GSH were (134.73 ± 12.63) U/mg protein, (1.48 ± 0.13) mmol/mg protein and (76.38 ± 6.71) mmol/mg protein in oral mucosa respectively, and (143.45 ± 11.76) U/mg protein, (1.44 ± 0.12) mmol/mg protein and (78.83 ± 7.72) mmol/mg protein in liver tissue respectively.

The DNA damage rate in fluoride group was 50.20% in oral mucosal cells and 44.80% in hepatocytes, higher than those in the control group ( P < 0.01). The apoptosis
rate in oral mucosal cells was (13.63 ± 1.81) % in fluoride group, and (12.76 ± 1.67) % in hepatocytes, higher than those in control group. Excess fl uoride could
differently lower the number of oral mucosal cells and hepatocytes at G0/G1 and S G2/M phases ( P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: Excess fluoride can induce oxidative stress and DNA damage and lead to apoptosis and cell cycle change in rat oral mucosal cells and hepatocytes.

INTRODUCTION
Fluoride is an essential trace element for human beings and animals.
Fluoride can prevent caries and enamel fluorosis. Caries is the demineralization of the enamel by acids produced by plaque bacteria, leading to cavitation.

Enamel fluorosis is a subsurface hypomineralization of the dental enamel caused by chronic ingestion of high fluoride concentration while the dentition is forming[1].
Other manifestations of fluoride toxic effects include skeletal fluorosis and damage to kidney, liver, parathyroid glands and brain[2-4]. Lipid peroxidation is implicated as an important mechanism of fluorosis. A close association between fluoride toxicity and oxidative stress has been reported in human beings[5], experimental animals[3] and cultured cells [2]. Studies have shown that excess fl uoride can cause DNA damage, trigger apoptosis and change cell cycle[2, 6].Wu M

Tyson takeover
EXCERPT:
He notes that the most recent purchase by Tyson of IBP consummated a relationship that began with another Tyson takeover in 1997.

It was at that time that Tyson’s Arkansas neighbor Hudson Foods, a rival chicken processor with its own beef division, was the object of attention by Tyson. However, Hudson wasn't interested --- until the Clinton Agriculture Department stepped in to police an E. coli outbreak at one of Hudson's plants.

On August 12, 1997, Hudson issued a recall for 20,000 pounds of frozen hamburger when 16 people were sickened --- none fatally --- after eating undercooked burgers. Clinton Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman later determined the meat was contaminated by a potentially deadly strain of E. coli. (Issue #8)

Efforts to rein in the practice largely have been unsuccessful, including the most recent rules Congress enacted in 2006. The rules limit companies to buying life insurance to just the top third of earners, who must provide consent. But the rules don’t apply to life-insurance that employers bought before August 2006, which cover millions of current and former employees - including employees that have long since left the company.

SODIUM FLUORIDE IN
FEEDLOT STARLING CONTROL
James Steckel
Torco Pest Control
Columbus, Ohio

I'm going to talk about the toxicant, sodium fluoride. This, of course, is
not new to anybody who's been in the pest control business. It's very common
and is a material that is readily available to industry wherever you might be—
sodium fluoride, NaF.

Sodium fluoride was a material used in veterinary practice in its early days
as a worming agent. When the first problems developed with the swine feeders,
particularly with TGE (transmissible gastroenteritis), they were needing a toxicant
that they could use to control the birds that were stealing feed out of the food
bunkers and leaving their droppings there. Some birds died in the area, causing,
the farmers felt, the disease TGE. Looking at the different toxicants we had
available to us, the first was strychnine which is highly toxic to swine. That
completely ruled it out because the least consumption of strychnine would mean
sure death in the case of hogs. Then we found sodium fluoride, a material already
used for worming, and that meant there was some tolerance to sodium
fluoride in swine. It was then developed into a bait material that would be used
at a level of 3% for lethal control of starlings.

In the registration of this material, it has some very definite limitations,
just as DRC-1339 does. This material is for use on starlings and blackbirds only.

It's not for use on other pest birds; it's rather specific to starlings and blackbirds.

The pellet size is too large for the small birds and sparrows to feed from; it was
designed this way intentionally. Sodium fluoride is detoxified in the crop of
cropped birds; consequently pigeons and all other cropped birds have a definite
tolerance to it. They can handle it quite well. It was designed for agricultural
use only. It was not specified in the registration for feed lot use only, but it was
specified for agricultural use only. This allows it to be broadened a bit, but
basically it is a feed lot product.

It also has a limitation of being used during periods of inclement weather;
this means basically winter weather. This is to protect the migratory protected
species that might be available during other times of the year and could be
possibly feeding at the same area.

Sodium fluoride is not a slow-acting toxicant as is 1339. It is medium-fast
acting; not as fast as strychnine. There is a real possibility that birds will die
right at their feeding location, if they feed over a period of time there.

111

As we said, some of the specificity was developed by the size of the pellet.
The pellet is almost the same size as the starlicide pellet, and it's a pellet that an be readily ingested by the starling. It's something used to and can handle
quite easily.

Sodium fluoride does not have great secondary hazards although I don't
think we can say that it has no secondary hazards. We aren't too concerned
about the hogs or beef cattle eating them; beef cattle won't normally eat the
dead birds, hogs will. We have stated in the label to pick the birds up as much as
possible and don't feed them to the hogs. However in tests we have fed
poisoned birds to swine and have not been able to get toxic levels ingested by the
swine. I would imagine that if dead birds were all that was available there could
be a possibility of toxication; we haven't gone that far.

As in all materials, the success depends on the acceptance. All these toxicants
will kill the birds. It's just a matter of getting that toxicant to the bird.

This presents its greatest problem to us just as it does with 1339 and any other
materials. We developed this product to combat the starling problem in swine
feed areas. Swine food is a little different than poultry food or even some of
your big cattle feeder operations. Consequently the carrier is not as acceptable
in other areas as it is in swine lots. If you're going into other areas, you have to
develop the feeding habit with this type of a pellet before you can give them the
pellet and expect them to take it. People working in bird control in poultry areas
have found it is really not an acceptable material. They can get some kill if they
can get the conditions just right, but it's not nearly as acceptable. Poultry pellets have a much darker appearance, a higher content of alfalfa. The bird just notices the sodium fluoride pellet as a strange color, and it certainly must have a stranger odor or taste. We had this discussion yesterday whether birds can taste or not taste; we think they can. So it would seem that if this were to be a real
successful tool, you would almost have to pick out the carrier and select color,
taste, and content for each of these feeding situations.

The material presently available on the market contains corn meal, meat
scraps, blood meal, and then the sticker or adhesive material to hold the pellet
together. Corn meal is the bulk; meat scraps and blood meal give it the protein it
needs to be attractive. Starlings are basically meat eaters; they spend most of
their time eating insects when they are available. We try to give them something
that would at least meet their diet requirements and their taste preferences.

Dilution is not necessary, although in areas where you have very heavy
feeding, dilution certainly makes it more economical and still a satisfactory material.

Under normal conditions three pellets are a lethal dose for a starling. If
you get this in a very severe winter situation where all the foods are covered, the
bird will come in and eat a good deal more than three pellets, so you can use
dilution ratios. We have not gone above 1 to 12 in our own practice; and on the
label we don't talk about dilutions even though they are certainly being used and,
under these circumstances, satisfactorily so.

I think those are all the comments I would have on sodium fluoride. If
there are any questions I'm sure you'll have an opportunity to ask.

112

DISCUSSION:
BECK: I'm sure Jim remembers, but neglected to mention, that this material is,
in its present form, not very toxic to poultry or hogs. But if you use it around
cattle feed lots, you must be very, very careful because sodium fluoride is
exceedingly toxic to cattle even in small quantities. Do you have questions for
these two gentlemen?

RUSSELL: Did John say that he did spread his diluted bait in the cattle pens
themselves?

DE GRAZIO: Yes. When we were running our early trials we spread the bait in
the cattle pens and on the mounds that they had in the middle of the pens. In the
alleys we put cups on posts when we were first testing this chemical in feed lots.
I believe the label on Starlicide says "restricted to alleyways."

BECK: I might comment here that in the eastern United States the results with
the particular method that John has described have not been as good as the results
he obtained. This is not due to any fault of the material or the way it's put out.

It's due more to the difference in the size of feed lots, the land management
practices, and feedlot management practices that are prevalent in the East. If
you're trying to use a pellet in an area where chopped silage is the rule of the day
in cattle feedlots, you're going to have trouble in getting an efficacious use.

SCHENDEL: What about the possibility of prebaiting? I know it isn't commonly
done, but what has been done in seeing whether there is any value in prebaiting?
Can you change birds' habits to eat some particular material that isn't readily
available to them right in that feed lot?

DE GRAZIO: We've never prebaited in feed lots because in a sense they're already
prebaited, at least in the western United States. They have pelletized feed
that they use in their cattle ration and some of the alfalfa pellets seem to be
similar to the poultry pellets that we use. You get spillage along feed bunks,
some of the hard grains are passing through the catties' intestines, so in a sense it's already prebaited for you.

BECK: You can, if you wish to prebait, use exactly the same type, color, and
composition of pellet, and then use the treated pellet regardless whether it's
sodium fluoride or DRC-1339. You can prebait, yes.

STECKEL: I'd just like to comment on this. We shipped some of our materials
into a foreign country where pellets were not used in a feeding situation at all.
They were using chopped sugar beet pulp; this was all the animals had ever seen.
We had to develop the acceptance of a pellet, which we were able to do, but it
took three weeks of pretty concentrated effort. In fact they had to close off the
113
access to the sugar beet pulp and almost force them to come to the pellets.

Once they got started on the pellets there was no problem—they would come to
the pellets and we could open up the sugar beet pulp and they'd stay with the
pellets. We had to get a sweetener into our material because they were used to
getting a sweet taste from the sugar beets. It can be done, but it's not easy.

SH1CK: DRC-1339 is sold under the trade name of Starlicide. In all fairness
to Jim, what's his product sold under?

SPITZ: "Steckelcide" (laugh)

STECKEL: That's right, it used to be steckelcide, but after this morning I'm
going to call it "Spitzicide" after our famed psychologist from Houston.
Fantastic. I don't think he's a pest control operator any more, I think he's a
master psyche. Seriously, it's called Torco Starling Pellet. Excuse the
commercial, but thank you for the offer.

PIERCE: Jim, would you comment on bait placement of your material?

STECKEL: We normally try to put this bait up on top of the feed bunker in a
feedlot. We use flats, kind of like those your wife comes home with filled with
three dozen petunias. If we're in a heavy weather condition we build a little
slanting roof on it to prevent the snow and rain from coming into it. Out on a
farm in a feeder area where they're just dumping feed in big troughs, we will
then pull high wagons in and set these flats out into the wagons so that the
cattle or hogs can't get to the pellets. We will also nail flats on the tops of
fence posts or put them on the outer edges of loafing sheds. We don't put this
material down at ground or feeder level. Does that answer your question?

LEIB: Does the weather affect the material? For example if it gets wet or
snowed on?

STECKEL: It causes the pellet to disintegrate if it gets a lot of moisture. Just
to get some snow on it, stay cold, and the snow blows off, it won't break that
pellet down. Pelletizing is just a standard process and we use a standard adhesive
sticker. It just can't stand that much moisture.

BECK: We have time for one quick question over here.

DELEGATE: Do you have any experience with Starlicide in hog feedlots?

DE GRAZIO: The Denver Center has never run any tests in hog feedlots. No,
we don't have any experience.

BECK: These two gentlemen have given us good presentations. I hope that
you'll contact them and discuss further questions and comments you may have
114
with them. Since I no longer live in Ohio, I can now say that Jim is a fine example
of quality craftsmanship in the pest control industry. This man has worked
well with governmental agencies for quite some time, and when you receive your
copy of the bird management guide, this is the man you have to thank for that.

R.E.D. FACTS
Starlicide
(3-chloro-p-toluidine

Pesticide
Reregistration
All pesticides sold or distributed in the United States must be
registered by EPA, based on scientific studies showing that they can be used
without posing unreasonable risks to people or the environment. Because of
advances in scientific knowledge, the law requires that pesticides which
were first registered years ago be reregistered to ensure that they meet
today's more stringent standards.

In evaluating pesticides for reregistration, EPA obtains and reviews a
complete set of studies from pesticide producers, describing the human
health and environmental effects of each pesticide. The Agency imposes
any regulatory controls that are needed to effectively manage each
pesticide's risks. EPA then reregisters pesticides that can be used without
posing unreasonable risks to human health or the environment.

When a pesticide is eligible for reregistration, EPA explains the basis
for its decision in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.

This fact sheet summarizes the information in the RED document for
reregistration case 2610, 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride or starlicide.
Use Profile Starlicide is an avicide used to control ravens, starlings, crows,
pigeons, cowbirds, grackles, magpies, and certain gull species. Use sites
vary by species but include livestock and poultry feedlots, building and
fenced noncrop areas, Federal and State wildlife refuges and protected
areas, gull colonies in coastal areas, and bird staging areas and roosting
sites.

Starlicide is formulated as a 98% powder to be applied to various
baits, and as a 0.1% ready-to-use product. It is applied in solution to
various baits (meat, grain, egg, french fries), allowed to dry, and placed in
bait boxes or trays or broadcast by various means in target areas.

Use practice limitations include the classification of all products
containing starlicide as restricted use, to be applied only by certified
applicators or persons under their supervision. Starlicide treated baits cannot
2
be applied within 50 feet of standing water and cannot be applied directly to
food or feed crops. There is a prohibition against grazing or planting crops
in treated areas within a year of application. Prebaiting must be done before
application to ensure that non-target or endangered species will not eat
treated baits.

Regulatory
History

Starlicide was first registered as a pesticide in the U.S. in 1967.
Currently, 15 starlicide products are registered, including 7 Federal and 8
state registrations
Human Health
Assessment
Toxicity
In studies using laboratory animals, starlicide has been shown to be of
moderate to high acute toxicity. Starlicide is moderately toxic by the oral
route and slightly toxic by the dermal route, placing it in Toxicity
Categories II and III, respectively for these effects. Although a study was
not provided, based on its other acute toxicity properties, starlicide is
presumed to be highly acutely toxic (Toxicity Category I) by the inhalation
route. It is corrosive to skin and eyes (also Toxicity Category I for these
effects) and is a mild to moderate skin sensitizer. Starlicide was not
mutagenic in three mutagenicity assays provided to the Agency, and is not a
carcinogen.

Dietary Exposure
Since starlicide is not used on food or feed crops or commodities, no
human dietary exposure is expected.

Occupational and Residential Exposure
Based on current use patterns, handlers (mixers, loaders, and
applicators) may be exposed to starlicide during the mixing of concentrate
with the various baits. Because of its high vapor pressure and presumed
high acute inhalation toxicity, the Agency has concern about the potential
for exposure to handlers mixing starlicide concentrate in one pound
quantities. However, the potential for post application exposure for persons
entering a treated site after application is minimal, and the Agency has no
post-application concerns.

Human Risk Assessment

Starlicide generally is of high acute toxicity, but is not a mutagen or a
carcinogen. There are no food or feed uses registered for starlicide, and no
human dietary exposure is expected.

Since there is some concern for handlers (mixers/loaders/applicators)
using one pound or more quantities of starlicide concentrate, the Agency has
concluded that the use of a respirator in these instances would minimize
exposure.

Environmental
Assessment
Environmental Fate
Starlicide does not hydrolyze, but does photodegrade in water, which,
based on available data, appears to be its primary route of dissipation in the
environment. Starlicide binds to organic matter in soils, but a complete
environmental fate assessment cannot be performed because the submitted
data was not adequate. The Agency is not requiring new studies, however,
because of the limited uses of starlicide and the extremely low volume of
active ingredient applied annually.

Ecological Effects Risk Assessment

Starlicide is very highly toxic to birds and freshwater invertebrates
and moderately toxic to freshwater fish. Starlicide is moderately toxic to
mammals. Data on toxicity to insects (honeybees) and non-target plants
were not required for starlicide.

Based on the data, non-target birds and mammals may be at risk from
eating starlicide treated bait (primary exposure), or, as scavengers and
predators, from consuming animals who have eaten treated baits (secondary
exposure). The risk to primary non-target bird populations is considered
high for all uses of starlicide, as is the risk to endangered small mammals in
areas treated with the highest application rates. Acute risk is also posed to
aquatic invertebrates.

Risk Mitigation To lessen the risks to non-target animals posed by starlicide, EPA is requiring the following risk mitigation measures.

• Prebaiting, which will lessen the risk of ingestion of treated baits by nontarget
species, will be required on all labels.

• Lower application rates - Because risk to endangered mammals and aquatic
invertebrates is highest at the maximum application rates, the highest rate
allowed for broadcast applications of starlicide treated baits will be 0.1 lbs./
acre.

• Buffer zones To lessen the potential for runoff which may pose acute risk to
aquatic invertebrates, treated baits must be placed at least 50 feet from bodies
of water.

Also, because of concern for inhalation exposure of mixers and loaders
to starlicide concentrate, the following is required:
• In addition to the personal protective equipment already on starlicide labels
(goggles and gloves), a respirator approved for pesticides must be worn by
persons mixing quantities of one pound or more of starlicide.

Additional Data
Requirements
The generic database supporting starlicide is substantially complete.
The Agency is still requiring product-specific data including product
chemistry and acute toxicity studies, revised Confidential Statements of
Formula (CSFs), and revised labeling for reregistration.
4
Product Labeling
Changes Required
All starlicide end-use products must comply with EPA's current
pesticide product labeling requirements. For the complete text of list of
labeling requirements, please see pp. 33-36 of the starlicide RED
document.

Regulatory
Conclusion
The use of currently registered products containing starlicide in
accordance with approved labeling will not pose unreasonable risks or
adverse effects to humans or the environment. Therefore, all uses of these
products are eligible for reregistration.

Starlicide products will be reregistered once the required productspecific
data, revised Confidential Statements of Formula, and revised
labeling are received and accepted by EPA.

WETTING AGENTS AND THEIR ROLE
IN BLACKBIRD DAMAGE CONTROL
Don Harke
Assistant State Supervisor
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Fremont, Ohio
I just happened to think of an example when John was talking about firecracker
danger. In south Florida in the sweet corn fields they have "spray middles"
cut down through the fields, and at times some of the farm laborers will go
through these middles on a tractor with an apronful of these cherry bombs,
lighting them on their cigars or cigarettes, and throwing them out to chase the
birds. I did hear one case where the laborer lit one and apparently dropped it
back in his lap; the whole shebang went off and disemboweled him.
I'm going to speak on wetting agents, which are a class of surface-active
agents or surfactants along with soaps or detergents. I would like to second
John's philosophy on this balanced approach. Our blackbird problem in Ohio and
Michigan is sufficiently serious that we can scarcely afford to overlook any
measure of control.
Wetting agents are not a new happening on the blackbird damage control
scene. Actually since the early '60's we have been interested in finding the ideal
agent and method of application for lethal control of blackbirds, starlings, and
their roosts. The principle, as with so many other damage control techniques, is
relatively simple: get roosting birds wet enough when the weather is cold, the
temperature drops to 30 or so degrees, and they succumb to heart failure,
respiratory system failure, etc. In practice however, as in many other damage
control techniques, the story is not quite so easily told. The advent of the newer
biodegradable surfactants have all but eliminated one of the problems, that of
chronic water pollution. However numerous other problems must be solved
before this method can leave the drawing board.
Certain criteria must be met before specific wetting agents can qualify for
field trial. The candidate agent must be readily soluble in water, have maximum
wetting ability at moderate concentrations, degrade rapidly, have minimal toxicity
to fish, and maximum absorption on soils (this is to control water pollution in
underground systems). Somewhere there may exist a surfactant with all these
characteristics, and if anyone here knows what it might be, I'd like to know.
Turgitol 15S9 is the material which has been the most widely used in field
testing in a number of states; Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas. It has excellent
wetting abilities and under normal conditions degrades in about ten days.
105
But it is very toxic to fish. Little is known about its soil absorptive qualities.
This I might mention is important to us with our rural blackbird roosts in the
Sandusky Bay marshes and the general Lake Erie marshes; these roosts are composed
of redwinged blackbirds, grackles, and cowbirds.
Some of the sucrose esters are being worked with and they are considerably
less toxic to fish. But there's quite a bit of difficulty in getting them in aqueous
solutions which are needed to spray the material on the birds.
One of the confounding problems is how to get enough of the agent on the
birds to sufficiently wet them. Methods of application have ranged from herding
flocks of blackbirds through ground spray apparatus to applications of the
material with light aircraft and heavy aircraft, specifically Grumman AgCats (at
about 25 gallons per acre) and B-26 and C-123 aircraft at application rates of 900
gallons per acre. What it amounts to is that we need either high concentration at
low gallonage rates or the reverse of that followed by additional water drops. Or
in the case of a light plane which put out a minimum of wetting agents, we might
put this material on just prior to a cold front, allowing a natural rainfall to furnish
the required water.
There are some criteria which must be met before a roost can be treated:
there must be a high concentration of blackbirds in the roost, a low population of
desirable birds like ducks, robins, etc., and the drainage from the roost area not
be into a fish pond or river that abounds with fish. Also since some of these
wetting agents are phytotoxic, the roosting site must be of little value.
Directly comparing the light versus heavy aircraft- the light costs less, is
more accurate (they've had some misses with the heavier aircraft), and a considerably
more concentrated solution appears to be required. As John said, no one
control measure will solve the blackbird problem and only through diligent research
and field trials will we be able to come up with a wetting agent and a
method of application which may help us out with this problem.
I have some slides I'd like to show.
This is a roost at Johnstown, Ohio, just south of us here. It is a coniferous
tree roost, and at times there were 2 million birds here. The pond you see was
frozen over when the picture was taken, but there are quite a few fish in it. For
this reason we didn't think aerial application was desirable. We used a "standpipe"
method of getting the wetting agent onto the birds. These are pipes 21 feet tall;
there's a spray head on the top; we have a hose network and an educer valve
which goes into the tank of wetting agent. We used a fire truck which pumped
the water through this educer valve, then sucked the wetting agent up, and
diluted it to a predetermined concentration. At night water cascaded out of these
spray nozzles. A group of us went back through the trees, and herded the birds
through this curtain of spray; sometimes we did some good and sometimes we
didn't.
This shows a floodlight arrangement we used. Some of you may know of
floodlight traps that were used in various situations against roosts. We put this
bank of floodlights in front of the curtain of spray to attract the birds into that
area so that they would fly through the spray.
106
This is in Georgia, Moody Air Force Base—a roost which contains millions
of birds. Some of you may know of the problem there with bird—aircraft strike
hazards. Here is a B-26 which was used to literally dump wetting agent on the
birds in the roost; it has two 500 gallon tanks and was capable of putting out
900 to 1000 gallons per acre. Here are some cowbirds wet with the wetting
agent that were picked up after being wetted. You can see how wet their feathers
have become.
Thank you very much for you attention.
BECK: Don, stay up here please and we'll open this up to questions for either
you or me.
FITZWATER: Don, on your floodlights-are they set so they don't hit the
spray?
HARKE: Right.
FITZWATER: We had a little trouble. We had an interesting, small project in
Carlsbad, New Mexico where we ran standpipes out of irrigation hose just to the
top of some forty foot high mulberries. We had a population of about 3000
sparrows. We tied this into the water line, and had an inductor that brought the
detergent up through the lawn sprinkler heads. We only treated two trees and
tried to drive the birds into the trees. One of the trees was right by a street light
which the second night we did get turned off, but the first night you could see
the birds veer away from the spray because they could see it. But we had
interesting enough results that I think it's worth looking into.
HARKE: This is the problem we experienced—that the light was reflecting,
when we originally had it behind the curtain of wetting agent. The birds diverged
or went around the sides of the spray.
FRANCIS: Don, I'd like to ask you on these wetting agents—is there a seasonal
difference in the effectiveness of it. In other words will simply wetting the
birds be enough or must you have reasonable cool weather to have it work?
HARKE: Jim Caslick of the Division of Research has done most of the lab
work on this and he says a temperature of 50 degrees or less is required for
maximum mortality.
BRINK: Don, I wonder if you have, or can see in the picture any answer to
that Moody Air Force Base situation?
HARKE: No, not in the immediate future. I think John Seubert could give
you more information on that.
107
SEUBERT: Moody is a particular problem because the roost is a large one and
the bird densities are quite low. But again if we had the right type of agent
Moody would be an ideal place for use because the land is under federal control.
BROWN: We have these exploders banging away all over the orchards of southern
Ontario and they have absolutely no effect on robins. I might suggest that one
possibility is this: that the robins actually learn by the sound of the exploders
that there is ripe fruit available! (laugh)
BECK: Well, according to Pavlov that is quite possible.
LIEB: With this Castalia roost and the weather being what it is, have you done
anything successfully down there to move those birds to protect the corn?
HARKE: Which Castalia roost?
LIEB: The roost affecting the corn growers in the Castalia-Sandusky area.
HARKE: Have we done anything with wetting agents?
LIEB: Well, have you done anything at all to successfully move them because
they don't seem to have as much of a problem this year as they did last year?
Maybe they did something, I don't know.
HARKE: I've been putting out lethal baits in that area, but I certainly don't
presume that I've put out enough to halt bird damage. I don't really know.
LIEB: To make you feel good, I think you have, because some of the farmers
down there say they don't have half the problems they've had. They have fewer
birds, but they don't know who's doing it, and they don't want to know.
HARKE: That's what they've been telling me.
RUSSELL: What was the wetting agent you gave as an example that was toxic to
fish?
HARKE: Turgitol 15S9, a Union Carbide product.
OCHS: Do you have any that aren't toxic?
HARKE: We'd like to know that, too.
BECK: Now come on. You know that some of them that we think basically
are not toxic do have some toxic effects on aquatic invertebrates, don't they?
108
OCHS: John, most of the surfactants heretofore have been classed as inert ingredients.
Therefore we have damn little information on surfactants per se. We
can surmise the effect and do as we darn well please, but until we have data to
support what we may think, we have nothing.
STECKEL: You've been in Washington too long, Paul. (laugh)
BECK: We do thank you for your attention on these two topics. I advise you to
corner Don Harke and get better acquainted with him; I think you're going to see
this young man's name and some of his results for a considerable period of time.
Let's give him a hand.
The next topics we're interested in here are primarily feed lot problems,
and we're comparing sodium fluoride and Starlicide. Actually I think we should
say DRC-1339 which is a code number for a particular chemical. We're comparing
the technical grade of that chemical as used by our Denver research people
with sodium fluoride. I don't think we should say we're comparing starlicide
which is a registered commercial product with sodium fluoride. We're actually
comparing two chemicals, so even though Starlicide is mentioned I think we
should limit our remarks to the technical grade of the compound known as DRC-
1339.
The next two speakers are friends of mine; one is a new friend and the
other is a friend of long standing. John De Grazio is a member of our Denver
research team and is another one of our young men who will be heard from for a
long time to come. John has done a lot of work, as have his associates, and he
deserves a lot of credit. I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing from John.
The second man who will speak is Jim Steckel. All of the pest control
operators know him, and most of us bureaucratic drones know him also. Jim is
going to present sodium fluoride, its possibilities and its uses. When we finish
these two, we'll have questions. John De Grazio.

The swine flu's comin' back
like a viral attack
It's like '76, you gotta cover ya back
But not with a vaccine don't give in to that
Because those medical quacks
are makin money off that
They wanna inject you, infect you with the vaccine
They say they protect but they reject your immunity
And if you protest they arrest you and they lock you down
Can't have people like that walkin' around

Contagious
The truth is outrageous
Don't you know the drug companies made this flu
And if you're thinkin' you wanna evade this
Then you gotta say this

Don't inject me
Don't infect me
Don't stick that needle in my arm and chemically wreck me

Don't inject me
Don't infect me
Don't stick that needle in my veins and medically wreck me

Don't use me
Don't abuse me
Don't push your medical lies and try to confuse me

Don't trick me
Don't you dick me
With that needle in ya hand don't you dare try to prick me

Don't you know the swine flu is made by man
Pharmaceutical scam
It's all part of the Big Brother population plan
But the thing I don't understand
is why they in Mexico City
in an unmarked military van

They don't want you to see the remedies
you can stop influenza with vitamin D for free
Herbal medicine is all that you need
But they can't charge a fifty dollar fee

Unless
They inject you
They infect you
They stick that needle in your arm
and chemically wreck you

They use you
They abuse you
They say they're saving your life while they really confuse you

All you parents grab your kids
And shoot 'em up just like guinea pigs
Inject your teens and your babies in the crib
And when they get paralyzed
That's when you realize
There's no way to undo what you did

The big drug companies are makin' a killing
Collectin' the billions and gettin' away like a James Bond villain
cause they're willin' to do almost anything
Just to make money with the flu vaccine

Are There High Levels of
Fluoride in Foods?

January 13, 2007: A presentation was hosted by the
Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, an anti-fluoridationist
group. At this meeting, there was again a display of food
products labeled with the following high fluoride
contents:
Gerber Berry Juice 3.00 parts per million (ppm)
Gerber White Grape Juice 6.80 ppm
Fruit Loops 2.10 ppm
General Mills Wheaties 10.10 ppm
Kellogg's Shredded Wheat 9.40 ppm
Post Grapenuts Cereal 6.40 ppm
Cabbage 45.00 ppm
Citrus Fruits 95.00 ppm
Lettuce 180.00 ppm
The attached letter was written in response to similar claims made prior to 2004. The letter is written by Dr. Steven Levy, an expert on fluorides, who has many peer-reviewed articles specific to fluoride. Dr. Levy tested food products for fluoride content and included the results within this letter.

Perhaps it's time for the Citizens for Safe Drinking Water to quit disseminating this false information.

I write as a concerned citizen and scientist regarding the three pages of materials you recently faxed me about fluoride, fluoridation, and fluoride levels of foods and beverages. I believe the information was quoted as originally coming from Citizens for Safe Drinking Water and others.

As you know, I have spent much of my professional career trying to better understand the fluoride levels of foods and beverages and fluoride intake from other sources. We have received eight different NIH grants related to this and are working on a grant application to continue this work. We have followed a
group of nearly 1,000 children longitudinally from birth to current ages 9-12 and are studying dental caries, dental fluorosis, and bone development related to fluoride and other factors. We have tested thousands of foods and beverages for fluoride content over the past 10 years.

Because of both my familiarity with published and unpublished findings and our extensive research concerning fluoride levels of foods/beverages, I was very surprised and concerned to see isolated data (probably from a single laboratory in July 1960) reportedly showing three different brand name cereals with fluoride levels of 6.4, 9.4, and 10.1 ppm, respectively. These are completely out of line with all other published and unpublished findings. In addition, the 2.1 ppm value for Fruit Loops seemed too high. The fluoride levels of dry cereals and of milk have consistently been much lower than these stated values, which naturally would contradict the whole presentation saying “a bowl of Wheaties, a glass of
milk, and a Coke or orange juice delivers twice the fluoride salesman’s daily goal of fluoridation.”

Obviously, there is no information on these pages to fully understand the origins of the claims (dates, labs, etc.). (Note that whoever prepared these documents also made a major error in using the faulty values. Even if the fluoride levels were correct, the 232% excess is off by 100%.)

Because of our concern for the validity of these data and the statement above, we decided to purchase and test for fluoride content several of the same cereals, milk, and a few extra similar cereals (but different brands). We purchased them locally and assayed them (in September 2001), using the same methods we’ve used in our other published work. The results are very consistent with our previous assays of similar products and other published, scientific results, and are very much lower than those high levels stated on the sheet you sent.

Specifically, the results were:
FOOD LABEL FOOD ITEM PRODUCT PPM CSDW claims
41 Wheaties 0.4 10.10
42 2% Milk 0.04
43 Grapenuts 0.6 6.40
44 Original Shredded Wheat—Large 0.9 9.40
45 Mini-Wheats—Frosted, Bite-size 0.5
46 Original Shredded Wheat—Small 0.6
47 HyVee Nutty Nuggets 0.3
48 Cheerios 0.9
49 Fruit Loops with Lemon Stripes 0.6 2.10

Based on these current findings, I feel even stronger that it is very unfortunate and inappropriate for the data on the sheets to be disseminated further or provide the basis for discussion of water fluoridation policy. One would need to eat a couple of boxes of cereal to get to the fluoride levels mentioned for the
“one bowl of Wheaties”, etc. And I had never before seen any human, cow, or other animal milk fluoride level that wasn’t very low. Our 0.04 level for the 2% milk is consistent with all previous studies and only about 5-6% of that listed value of 0.72 ppm.

In summary on this, I believe strongly that the fluoride values on the sheets you showed me are erroneous and must be discarded/discounted in any discussions about fluorides and fluoridation.

Overall, in summary, I strongly endorse continued use and expansion of community water fluoridation. It is a great public health measure and was reaffirmed in MMWR (August 17, 2001) by the CDC and external experts as the most efficient and cost-effective means of caries prevention.

Please contact me if I can provide additional information.

1) INTRODUCTION

Every day children all over the world have a cereal not only for
breakfast, but also for lunch, and often as a snack between meals. While
the word 'cereal' denotes a food made from grain, many cereals cannot be
considered a "food" at all. For example, Kellogg's "Sugar Smacks" contain
over 50% sugar. When compared to other high-sugar foods and snacks, it
should really be called a "candy". What little grain is left in it has been
robbed of its nourishment and contains high amounts of fluoride, as well as
other toxins. They also contain phytates (inositol hexaphosphate) which are
known - as is fluoride - to bind dietary zinc and iron and render them
unavailable for absorption. Phytates also bind calcium to form insoluble
calcium phytate. Incidentally, zinc and iron deficiencies are considered
the world's most prevalent nutritional deficiencies.

In the US, fluoride levels ranging from 2.1 mg/kg in "Kellogg's Fruit
Loops" to 9.4mg/kg in Shredded Wheat have been documented.

Where does the fluoride in cereals come from? A mere glance at the titles
in this REF SET will give an idea:

PLANTS
http://www.bruha.com/fluoride/html/plants.html

While you read the information below, PLEASE keep in mind that there are
ongoing fluoridation efforts in the US, Canada and elsewhere, so that
children can at least (!) get the daily fluoride dose deemed "optimal" for
cavity prevention. This dose was set in the 1940's at 1mg/day, presuming
that the average person drinking four glasses of water a day could thus
obtain this "optimal" dose.

Also, the info here deals with cereals only, NOT any other source...

Best to all, and for those of you in the US - good luck on Nov.7th!

2) CEREALS IN CHINA:

In China, endemic fluoride poisoning occurs in 1,230 counties and cities
in 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, threatening over
200 million people. Kaschin-Beck Disease (KBD) is found in over 315
counties and cities in 14 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities,
and affects 34 million people. In seriously affected areas, the incidence
amongst youth and children is over 50%, and in the most seriously affected
areas, over 80%. The Chinese Government acknowledges fluoride to be cause
of KBD, normally thought of as being due to selenium deficiency.

During the 2nd Chinese total diet investigation in the years 1992 and
1993 it came to light that ALL cereals (except those from one area in the
South) exceeded fluoride tolerance levels by 11.9 to 95.3% (tolerance
levels set, like MCL in water - as if no other source existed - to 4
mg/kg), meaning levels were up to 7.81 mg/kg. (Chen & Gao, 1997)

His wife, a pharmacist, said: 'When my son Stephen's molars were erupting, the dentist painted them with fluoride gel, without consulting me. Two months later the teeth came through with a weird yellow colour. Something had damaged the enamel. A corner a broke off. I felt so angry, after years of denying him sweets and fizzy drinks.

'Later, a piece broke off another tooth - in a child who never had a filling. Last night I saw another hole in the first tooth.

'Stevens sister Ruth, who is seven, has been set school essays on the benefits of fluoride. Propaganda!'

The Grahams, who have two toddlers, are equally incensed. New Yorkers who emigrated to Ireland seeking tranquillity, they thought they had found it in a restored Ulster farmhouse with a view of the Mourne mountains.

FLUORIDATION OF WATER SUPPLIES

SIR: I am a graduate of the University of Melbourne,

and am now living in retirement after practising as an

eye, ear, nose and throat specialist here in Canberra, the

national capital of Australia, for over 25 years. Since I

retired from active practice ten years ago I have made a

deep study of the evil effects on human health that are

caused by adding artificial sodium fluoride to public water

supplies, and here are some relevant facts which I have

learnt about fluoridation and its many dangers.

1. Sir Stanton Hicks, ex-Professor of Physiology and

Pharmacology at the University of Adelaide, in an A.B.C.

broadcast in May, 1955, emphasized that sodium fluoride,

when added to water supplies even in solution of one part

of fluorine to a million parts of water, is a highly toxic,

cumulative poison that is stored up in the brain and all

other vital organs inside the human body, year after year,

and for which there is no known antidote.

2. Dr. Leo Spira, M.D., in active practice in Vienna,

reported five years ago that large numbers of his patients

who had been drinking, bathing in and cooking with fluoride

water for a period of ten years, now had yellow, brown and

even black teeth (fluorosis); hardening of their eardrums

and incurable deafness; exophthalmic goitre, in an area

where goitre was unknown prior to the addition of sodium

fluoride to their water supplies. They also had advanced

arteriosclerosis of all their arteries, including the vital

coronary arteries supplying blood to the walls of the heart

itself, that led to sudden death from coronary occlusion in

their heart.

3. Dr. Max Gunn, D.D.S., Chief Dental Consultant at the

large Worcester Hospital, Boston, U.S.A., writing in Harper's

Magazine two years ago, gave full details of the evil

effects on human health that are caused by adding artificial

sodium fluoride to town water supplies, and he ended his

article with the arresting statement that fluoridation may

well prove to be the _most colossal blunder of the present

century.

4. The Minister of Health in the Province of Ontario.

Canada, Dr. Dymond, M.D., has stated that fluoride is the

introduction of a substance into the water supply of all

for the purpose of preventing a disease neither water-borne

nor communicable, for the benefit of one section of the

population. "If this principle is admitted . . . we have

opened a. door which the Province might never be able to

close". (Mass medication.)

5. The anti-fluoridation campaign, started three years ago

by 500 leading doctors, dentists and scientists in the U.S.A..

has now • become world-wide, and by the end of 1960, 1200

local councils had completely stopped the health-destroying

practice of adding sodium fluoride to their town water

supplies.

Sound nutrition is the only sure and safe way to provide

our children with sound teeth and sound health for the rest

of their lives. All mothers must now learn to feed their

families on a well-balanced, vitamin-rich diet in order to

achieve the best results. They must stop buying devitalized

white bread and over-refined white sugar—those two curses

of our modern civilization—and replace them with nourishing

whole-meal bread and delicious health-giving honey .

Instead of drinking injurious cups of tea before breakfast

each morning, both parents and children should have a

health-giving orange drink.

Delicious fruit and vegetable salads should be taken at

least once a day all the year round (the salad way to

health).

All mothers should teach their children to clean their

teeth properly by using the toothbrush up and down both

inside and out each night and morning, also to rinse their

mouths out well with cold water after each meal and then

eat a well-washed juicy apple which has been truly

described as "Nature's toothbrush".

Yours, etc.,

Fluoridation of water supplies med journal Australia 1962

Fluoride and the Nazis
EXCERPT:
"When the Nazis decided to go into Poland, the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans and personnel. The scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plans to Communise the world. I say this in all earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorides. Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically."

When Major General Racey Jordan was in charge of the massive lend-lease airlift operations from Great Falls, Montana to Russia, via Alaska, he queried the trans-shipment of considerable amounts of sodium fluoride. He was told frankly that it was to put into the drinking water of the prisoner of war camps to take away their will to resist. It is also interesting that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who has a background in academic chemistry, initiated a program involving astronomical expenditures of UK revenue on a fluoridation campaign in Northern Ireland.
