Firing ranges are technically toxic waste sites
"The grounds of some of the nation's 8,000 public and private recreational shooting ranges are contaminated with hundreds of tons of lead from bullets," said Rick Lowden, a metallurgist with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a facility managed by the Department of Energy (DOE), in their Metals and Ceramics Division. Lowden is the chief developer of the ESPTM bullet. "The most contaminated ranges pose a threat to humans and wildlife. Ducks and geese have been found poisoned in lakes polluted by lead shot. |

I'll hand it to the dentistry community on this one: they sure have come up with a creative way to get rid of toxic waste chemicals without using landfill -- just sell 'em to cities and call it a "public health policy!" Brilliant marketing. Seriously.
Think about it: now instead of dumping toxic waste products into landfills where the chemicals leach into the groundwater supplies and get consumed by people, these toxic chemicals get consumed by people first, then they get flushed into the rivers and streams. |
| They're buying the toxic waste product fluorosilicic acid and using that instead. Why? Basically because it's cheaper and it starts with the letters f-l-u-o-r, meaning they can pass it off as fluoride since most people don't know the difference. (There's a sad and disturbing history of mass populations being poisoned with things that start with "f-l-u-o-r," by the way. Fluorine gas, anyone?)
I was just thinking if we used the American Dental Association approach of eating everything that's supposed to be a topical treatment, then we could revolutionize the cosmetic industry. |
| To make matters even worse, it's not that municipalities are actually dripping genuine fluoride into the water supplies in the first place -- they're largely using fluorosilicic acid, which, as I've covered before, is actually a toxic waste product produced in the smokestacks of various industrial chemical producers. If they weren't selling this substance to cities, they would have to pay a lot of money to have it handled as an environmental hazard and buried in EPA-approved landfills. |
| Finally, given that drinking fluorosilicic acid helps industrial companies get rid of a toxic waste product, shouldn't you get paid something for helping them dispose of this EPA-regulated substance? If you're going to feed poison to the American public, at least offer to pay them something for it. Right now, cities are being charged for this stuff. Frankly, industrial companies should be paying cities for their help in getting rid of it. Then those cities should turn around and pay the citizens for being willing to swallow it. "Here, I'll give you a dollar if you drink this! |

Washington wasn't the only place where toxic waste was being reclassified as fertilizer. Between 1984 and 1992, an Oregon subsidiary of ALCOA (the Aluminum Company of America) recycled more than two hundred thousand tons of smelter waste into fertilizer. ALCOA saved two million dollars a year turning waste into a product marketed as a road de-icer during the winter and plant food in the summer. Companies all across America were saving millions of dollars a year selling industrial waste instead of paying to send it to toxic waste dumps. By the late 1990s, eight major U.S. |
| When Martin's constituents began complaining about mysteriously withered crops and crop dusters spraying fertilizer out on the open prairie for no apparent reason, she learned that Cenex, a fertilizer-specialty division of the Land O'Lakes Company (yes, the butter people), was shipping toxic waste to her town, mixing it with other chemicals in a big concrete pond near the train station, and then selling the concoction as cheap, low-grade fertilizer.
It was a great scheme. Industrial polluters needing to dispose of toxic waste avoided the high cost of legitimate dumps. |

No harmful bacteria, parasite, or virus can proliferate in a body that does not have a build-up of toxic waste. A body that has healthy levels of cellular oxygen and a strong immune system will remain a healthy body.
How the Body Deals with Germs and Viruses
The body has a built-in natural intelligence. It knows how to fight germs and viruses. When it comes to disease, there are three principles that must be understood:
1 All forms of disease are caused by accumulations of acid and toxic waste in the body's systems, the first and foremost of which is the colon. Disease starts in the colon. |

It is a known hazardous, poisonous, toxic waste by-product of the aluminum, phosphate fertilizer and other industries. This has been known for years, but we passively accept the big, fat lie about the benefits of fluoride, pumped into our water supply and mixed into our dental hygiene products. If fluoridation is such a great idea, why have so many developed countries such as
Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Belgium, Austria and France flatly rejected the concept?15 Smile, America, we're being poisoned with toxic waste in the name of greed. |

Industrial polluters needing to dispose of toxic waste avoided the high cost of legitimate dumps. (Anyone who puts something into a registered toxic waste dump owns it forever.) But mixing the same stuff into cheap fertilize! and spreading it on vacant land—or selling it to farmers—makes the problem, and the liability, disappear. So trains pulled in and out of Quincy in the middle of the night and the pond went up and down with no records of what went in or out of it. Sometimes Cenex sold the new-fangled fertilizer to unsuspecting farmers. |

All of these factors lead to the retention of potentially toxic waste products in the body. Toxins are formed in the body when metabolic waste products and debris from old, worn-out cells (totaling over 30 billion cells each day) are no longer eliminated properly. If they remain in the body, they become subject to bacterial attack and are met with a dramatic increase in free radical activity. Free radicals are generated in the body to oxidize and destroy as much of the accumulated waste and weak or dead cells as possible. |
| Since more and more water begins to accumulate outside the cells in order to dilute and help neutralize the toxic waste products that have accumulated there, the dehydration may not be apparent to the afflicted person. He may, in fact, notice that he begins to hold on to water in his legs, feet, arms and face. His kidneys may also begin to hold on to water, markedly reducing urinary secretion and causing the retention of potentially harmful waste products. Normally, cellular enzymes signal to the brain when cells run low on water. |
| Both of these are required to help the body eliminate accumulated toxic waste. Before starting on a cleansing protocol though, I encourage people to identify any existing sources of energy-depletion in their lives and to replace these with energy-increasing ones.
Today even many young people are suffering from chronic diseases, and unless they make some drastic changes in their lives, they will find it difficult to ever be truly healthy. The body cannot heal if it keeps accumulating new toxins faster than it can dispel them. |
| Since an estimated 70-80 percent of the immune tissue resides in the intestines, cleansing the colon from immune-suppressive toxic waste, in addition to removing gallstones from the liver and gallbladder, can make a crucial difference in the treatment of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, AIDS and other illnesses.

If no colon therapist is available in your area, you may greatly benefit from using a Colema Board® (see illustration 17, and Product Information) as a second best choice. |
| Unless the chunks of toxic waste are removed from the colon, gallstones removed via cleansing from the liver and gallbladder, and the kidney/ureters cleansed, the causes for back pain are likely to continue or worsen. The symptoms linked with these obstructions are not limited to the back. The congestion in these organs can also lead to a disruption in the flow of energy through the spinal nerves, contributing to problems in the legs, such as poor circulation, numbness, pain, and varicose veins. |

As a civil engineer who spent ten years cleaning up toxic waste sites, she knew a lot about how chemicals move through the environment. And since having two kids, she had a keen interest in children's health. In her mid 30s, Jane merged her interests into a new career as vice president of research at the Environmental Working Group, specializing in exposing the health risks from toxins in food, air, water and consumer products. But she never wove together the threads of cosmetics, chemicals and children's health until a warm day in October 2000. |

However, if you are in a work situation where you are constantly being exposed to toxic fumes or if your home is located near a toxic waste dump, the chances that your environment is contributing to your condition of estrogen dominance is even greater.
Environmental estrogen, or xenoestrogen (pronounced "ZEE-no-estrogen"), can be found in pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastics, fuels, car exhausts, dry cleaning chemicals, industrial waste, and meat from animals that have been fed estrogenic drugs to fatten them. |

While he served as a senior adviser to the NCI, Hammer's firm produced more than 100 billion tons of toxic chemicals, including those that created the superfund toxic waste site at Love Canal and led to the contamination of lush Mississippi River delta towns in Calcacieu Parish. Similar conflicts continue today.
Other global firms have been leaders in the war on cancer. Industrial Chemicals Inc. is a vast corporation. Divisions of the company make a number of pesticides and other cancer causing chemicals. |

Every cell in the body produces toxic waste. Every cell in the body needs stimulation in order for the toxic waste to be eliminated. Every cell in the body needs stimulation to remain healthy and thrive in a normal way. If a cell does not eliminate the toxic waste it produces and does not receive stimulation, it can begin to act in an abnormal way. Cells could degenerate and die or begin to grow abnormally in an out of control manner, causing tumors, cancer, or the degeneration of vital organs in the body.

To assist the body's healing efforts while going through a toxicity crisis, it is important to take a natural purgative, colonic irrigation or at least an enema each day to release accumulated toxic waste in the intestinal tract. It is also good advice to keep one's feet warm, get complete rest, and avoid watching television (due to its stimulating and dehydrating effects). Eating food during the crisis can interfere with the healing process, since this uses up the energy the body tries to direct toward eliminating toxins. |

Approached about the practice of selling toxic waste as fertilizer, staff at the state department of agriculture admitted they thought it was a good idea, kind of like recycling.
Curiously enough, the toxic fertilizer began killing crops. Unless they are eroded away, heavy metals stick around in the soil for thousands of years. And if they build up enough in the soil, they are taken up by plants—like crops.
Why would a company like Cenex be mixing up a toxic brew and selling it as low-grade fertilizer? Try the oldest reason around—money. |

This is because the body seeks to get toxic waste out of circulation. Since normal plumbing routes are clogged, a secondary place to stuff toxic waste is fat cells. This at least gets them out of the circulation and away from key body organs. The formation of fat is enhanced by the condition of fibromyalgia as a natural defense system.
In order to lose weight, such a person must get the plumbing to work better. The toxins in the body, as well as the stored toxins that come out of fat cells as weight is lost, must have some place to go. |

These are the same people, of course, who say that mass fluoridation of public water supplies with a toxic waste chemical misnamed "fluoride" is also perfectly safe. And mercury dental fillings are safe, too, if you can believe that. In fact, there's hardly a chemical or heavy metal being used in public health today that isn't safe enough to be injected into the bodies of children, if you believe these so-called health "experts. |

But in the early 1990s the town's mayor clued Seattle Times reporter Duff Wilson in to how toxic waste was being recycled into fertilizer and sprayed on croplands.

The outside is made up of a number of recycled materials: wood siding made of sinker cypress trees that lay on the bottom of the Mississippi River, panels of recycled aluminum and cement columns made of flyash (a toxic waste product of burning coal). The sensor-driven windows include adjustable louvers, tensile fabric and heat sensors that automatically determine how much light to let into the building, reducing demand for heating and air-conditioning. With many of its windows facing west, the building gets less of the searing Texas heat. Its metal exterior glistens in the afternoon sun. |

It is this attitude that allows people to go out and plunder the planet; strip the planet of its minerals, raw materials and clean water, then dump polluted water back in to the rivers, streams and oceans; to use clean air and return only toxic waste, jet fuel exhaust, car exhaust and coal plant exhaust into the atmosphere. Corporations say, "This piece of paper from the U.S. Patent Office says I own this gene sequence, this seed, this piece of land." It's amazing.
