Are our invisible enemies are winning?

It is very interesting that certain bacteria and viruses are mutating succesfully to survive, while at the same time the immune sytems of humans are weakening. Our collective "intelligence" seems to be speeding the demise of our species. However, some bugs seem to be adapting faster to threats to their existance than we can outsart them to save our health.

Pesticide Spraying Danger Letter from Dr. Rea, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.A.E.M.

One long-term patient of Dr. Rea forwarded this letter to me. In regards to its public distribution, she told him that "we were using it like popcorn in the papers, etc., and he responded, "Keep up the good work!"

Therefore, I am posting this important information here. Last year, I presented this letter to county commisioners in our locale to help them decide about mosquito control methods. Thankfully, they chose a safe and very effective method, which did not include wide-spead spraying.

To Whom It May Concern:

RE: Pesticide Spraying for Mosquito Control

Most commercially available pesticides contain petrochemicals and substances, which are toxic to the brain and nervous system. These substances can cause severe reactions in sensitive patients. Pesticide illness cannot be avoided by simply leaving the area. Most pesticide applications leave a toxic residue that remains for weeks or months, gradually releasing toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment.

Exposure to pesticides is unhealthy for anyone, for some people exposure to a relatively small amount of pesticides can cause significant health problems. Those at higher risk for adverse health effects of pesticides are infants and children, the elderly, immune compromised patients, pregnant women, and individuals with existing chemical sensitivities. Children have an increased surface area per body weight and an increased metabolic rate due to growth which makes them susceptible to the effects of pesticides.

The spraying of pesticides to control disease-carrying insects is often both dangerous and ineffective. Pesticide spraying can do more harm than good by exposing the population to a new public health threat through the exposure to toxic chemicals. Pesticide applications are harmful to human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. They are known to cause short and long-term respiratory problems, immune system and nervous system disruption, cancer, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and reproductive and learning disorders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that ground and aerial spraying are usually the least effective mosquito control technique. Ground spraying in cities is problematic as urban landscapes make it difficult for thorough application of pesticides. In addition to exposing the public to toxic pesticides, spraying leaves communities with a false sense of security making them less likely to use effective, nontoxic control measures. Mosquito spraying may in fact have the paradoxical effect of increasing the mosquito population by killing the natural predators that feed on mosquitoes and their larvae.

Pyrethroids are the most common and currently used pesticides. They are contact poisons, which quickly penetrate the nervous system of the insect. These spray applications are applied in a knockdown dose that is unequal to exterminating doses. Most insects eventually recover from the effects of these applications through detoxification. The mosquitoes that are sprayed, but not killed, may become resistant to these applications, live longer, and become more aggressive and more prevalent.

Pyrethroids have been linked to hormonal disruptions especially to Estrogen and Androgens, which can result in breast cancer and lowered sperm counts. Pyrethroids have also been linked to childhood brain cancers and to severe neurological damage. Long-term neurological effects may manifest as short-term memory loss, personality disorders, visual disturbances, polyneuropathies, and vegetative nervous disorders including increased heat sensitivity and the reduction in exercise tolerance. There are also studies, which show that Pyrethroids can produce thyroid damage, which may result in reproductive dysfunction, developmental impairment, and cancer.

There must be a concerted effort to establish a safer and effective mosquito control, which is not harmful to humans and the ecosystems.

If you have any questions, please contact my office at (214) 368-4132.

Sincerely,

William J. Rea, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.A.E.M.

Another Obstacle to Publicizing Truth

Nowadays, everything in the public arena has to be viewed with skepticism. What do you think about the implications of the following article (To read this entire Washington Post story click on title above)?

Persistence of Myths Could Alter Public Policy Approach

By Shankar Vedantam
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 4, 2007; Page A03

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a flier to combat myths about the flu vaccine. It recited various commonly held views and labeled them either "true" or "false." Among those identified as false were statements such as "The side effects are worse than the flu" and "Only older people need flu vaccine."

When University of Michigan social psychologist Norbert Schwarz had volunteers read the CDC flier, however, he found that within 30 minutes, older people misremembered 28 percent of the false statements as true. Three days later, they remembered 40 percent of the myths as factual...

The Shock'n Awe-ful Surge of our WMD

Precautions for a few, destruction for the masses? News warned the public about the planned (tiny area) spot spraying of remote Wood River trails in the Sun Valley area of Idaho. A large (6”x 8”) paid-for newspaper advertisement warned: “ALERT! The Wood River Trail Weed Control Program to commence July 12th”. This alert included the following information: “Noxious weeds will be spot sprayed on both sides of trails. Areas being sprayed will be identified with signs. Material Data Safety Sheets are available. Chemicals used will smell for days. (And in bold letters) Keep pets out until odor is gone.”

Such advance warnings indicate that even small amounts of herbicides could be poisonous to animals and people.

In sharp contrast, however, in the Snake River Plain just to the South of this area, hundreds of residential yards and hundreds of square miles of air, land, and America’s food products, are treated repeatedly with toxic herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, desiccants and pathogenic liquids and solids year after year. Such applications can occur at any time and without even an advance whisper to the public, not even to lovable pets.

Could pervasive multi-cides be one reason why: Teenage suicide attempts in Magic Valley have been increasing rapidly in recent years and are now averaging almost one and half huggable sons and daughters a day. Childhood cancer cases being treated by the Mountain States Tumor Institute are rising to about thirty percent over last year. Teenagers are dropping out of school and having children. Obesity is ballooning; immune systems and intelligence are declining. Jails are bulging with anger and hate. People are tattooing and piercing their bodies and frying their brains in frustration. Ever more people are escaping our collective harsh reality by withdrawing ever further into the hills or into fantasy and drugs. Society is becoming ever more chaotic in spite of, or because of, growing numbers of programs are substituting personal responsibility.

When will we hail the ultimate program, a “benevolent” dictatorship, to save us from ourselves?

I was a Lab Rat: Proving the Physical Reality of Chemical Sensitivity/Injury

* * * * * * * A very important health message! * * * * * * *

Research has shown that everyone’s body is now polluted with multiple toxins. However, like decades-long tobacco company denial and government inaction about the ill effect of smoking, other powerful interests are denying the detrimental effects of the thousands of toxins they have manufactured or administered. Self-serving parties often claim that many symptoms of chemical sensitivities have no physical causes but are purely psychological.

The effects from my personal extreme traumas and accumulation of toxic chemicals in my body were diverse and difficult to diagnose. Trauma and toxins can result in very similar symptoms. And that is the crux of the real versus imagined causes and symptoms controversy. This makes it an easy subject for finger pointing and blame deflecting. However, my experiences and research prove that man-made chemicals do indeed cause real physical changes, which can result into severe illnesses if not properly diagnosed early enough. Such illnesses are MS, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, cancer, possibly obesity, and others.

They rarely, if ever, existed several decades ago. Therefore, the question must be asked, what has changed to cause them in the first place, and then to have become so commonplace in our culture. Furthermore, I have learned that “alternative medicine” can be much more effective and much less costly than “traditional medicine” to prevent and cure some, if not most, illnesses of all kinds.

I was a perfect, unwitting lab rat for an “experiment” to help resolve the conflict between the real versus imagined illnesses, because I had to endure years of both physical and emotional traumas. I am also a paradox in many ways. Readers of my memoir cannot believe that I am still sane, or even alive. Their assessment, and the fact that I have never consulted a mental health professional, shows that I am psychologically tough and reality-based. I have even thrived on difficult challenges.

My early life traumas included war, infectious killer diseases, homelessness, intense floggings, very primitive sanitation, near-starvation diet, and slavery. In addition, like everyone else, I have been, and continue to be, exposed to many different natural allergens and man-made poisons.

During the last couple of years, several “traditional medicine” doctors were unable to diagnose the underlying causes of my various symptoms, some of which had recently been intensifying. However, one osteopathic physician found them quickly and brought me back to excellent health within a several months of simple and very effective treatment. He did so at low cost by prescribing natural substances, which produced almost no noticeable side effects.

I developed various symptoms over the course of many years. These could be confused as having been caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, or by allergy reactions. Here they are in a more or less chronological order: Depression, frequent snot with blood and throat clearing, sleeplessness with great exhaustion, nervousness, after-meal sleepiness, low-grade fever feeling and fuzzy thinking. And more recently, frequent dripping nose without blood, immense appetite and thirst, sensitivity to noise, low blood pressure, sluggishness, overall weakness, urinating urgency, immediate need to avoid polluted spaces, dull headaches, and nasty reactions to dust and certain fragrances. Other symptoms, which I also have had, such as tinnitus and prickly skin, were more subtle. These could also have been indications of the presence of “allergies” or sensitivities.

I will now elaborate about some of my major physical symptoms and other health issues in more detail. The first possibly allergy-sensitivity related health issue that I still remember was having had to clear my throat frequently and always having had blood in my snot. This began after I moved from Europe to the damp Washington coast when I was a teenager. These symptoms persisted until I moved to a desert climate.

During my traumatic early years, other than mostly being very sad, I was never aware that I might have had unusual psychological problems. I would always fall asleep instantly, to wake up rested in the mornings. I continued to do so for about nine years after I had enrolled in college. Then my sleeping problems began very suddenly and severely after I returned from a six-month trip around the world.

That is when I started work with a small architectural firm, which was located next to an auto body shop. I remember complaining about the chemical fumes from next door. However, I did not consider a connection between these fumes and my poor sleep; I did not see anybody’s guts falling out while breathing solvents. Since my work required long, concentrated thinking, poor sleep and brain fog were serious problems. Even so, I resisted taking medication for many years. Having been very humble and shy, I often worried that if I made mistakes in producing building plans, they could be declared national hysterical monuments.

I did not have insomnia in that I could not sleep for long periods. Instead, it seemed that my sleep quality deteriorated, and this condition continued for years to come. The pattern was always the same. I would wake up for just a few minutes, then feel like I had been run over by a truck all of the following day. This often happened several nights a week. To counter this, I once took an over-the-counter sleep medicine, but it had the effect of a couple cups of coffee instead.

Besides sleeping poorly, another misery sneaked up on me very, very slowly about twenty years ago. I became evermore uncomfortable during my last employment the longer I had to stay inside. In the beginning, I was not aware about why this was so. I felt that it might be the stuffy office, unpleasant people, stressful job, no windows, and such. To find relief, I went for vigorous walks during all lunch and coffee breaks, even in great heat and during blizzards. Then I would feel alive and energetic.

After inveighing unsuccessfully for months about the indoor air, I investigated. I found the fresh-air intake louvers of the office building had all been frozen shut for many years. This building had also been hermetically sealed during the energy crisis of the seventies. This proved that there had to be a very serious oxygen shortage and an abundance of different volatile chemicals in this building. These also included fumes from its road construction-testing laboratory, glue-down carpet laying and painting walls after frequent remodeling.

I suffered a lot of largely unexplainable discomfort in this office for more than twelve years. Furthermore, I always found it very strange that I seemed to be the only one to have been thusly affected. Even so, it never occurred to me that I might have PTSD, because I held no bitterness or anger and mostly enjoyed life away from this office.

In later years, after I became self-employed, I began leaving even important meetings in various venues prematurely, because I would become uneasy and even panicky as if I were drowning. Then, I again investigated some of these buildings to discover that they also had no fresh air supplies, even though there might be gatherings of hundreds of people.

Since I always seemed to be the only one who was troubled by indoor air pollution, I was never sure if my slowly worsening discomfort was residual PTSD, neurosis or physical reactions to polluted air. I also had frequent cloudy thinking but could not determine the extent of such. However, my recent experiences have shown that toxic chemicals mainly caused most, if not all, of my symptoms, which I mentioned herein.

A little more than a year ago, while my lab rat pain quickly became almost unbearable, I happened to read about multiple chemical sensitivity research with laboratory rats. I immediately deduced that I could have such. Therefore, I became very inquisitive about this subject.

I learned that I had been an unwitting lab rat myself for all of my life. At this time, in spite of my intermittent symptoms, I was still in excellent overall health, because I had eaten very nutritious food and had jogged seasonally several times a week for decades. I made a long list of many man-made chemicals to which I had been exposed. I was able to recall an astounding variety of them and some of them were truly very toxic. There obviously also had to be hundreds of real potent toxins and exposures of which I had never been aware, because they are so commonplace.

One day, within weeks of having learned about chemical sensitivity, I was out for a drive. I happened to get out of the car where the air smelled disgustedly like rotten-eggs. I thought this highly unusual but forgot about it later. Within a day or two, I began producing evermore phlegm from my bronchi and sinuses, and my temperature went to 103 degrees. I told two doctors about the stinky air, but they could not diagnose my illness. Thereafter, I intuitively searched the Internet for “rotten egg smell methamphetamine,” and my suspicion was confirmed. Many different very toxic chemicals are used in meth production. Their fumes can drift long distances. One citizens’ crime volunteer Website advised “Meth labs have strong ammonia or rotten egg odor… that may be a gas leak or meth lab… contact your local fire dept.”

My health just declined too rapidly without any other determinable causes, and it took me a very long time to recover. I believe that this stinky event finally so overloaded my immune system, that it could no longer efficiently process toxins, bacteria and such. Therefore, I have to question if I had accumulated too many harmful chemicals. Was I close to my “total body burden?“

My fever subsided after a day or two, but I was becoming ever weaker and produced a lot of phlegm over the next few weeks. I also lost weight. I am six feet tall and I was down to 148 pounds. When I was slowly recovering in May, a friend, I will call her Lisa, recommended that I should visit her osteopathic physician. He diagnosed me to have arsenic in my body. Therefore, I began a lengthy detoxification routine. He also quickly diagnosed that the scar tissue behind my right ear, and a break in a nerve in my back were interfering with the signals of my autonomic nerve system. He also told me that I had a low-grade infection, which had started a long time ago.

After these revelations, I become very cautious about my environment, smells and foods. My evening glass of beer or wine began having unpleasant effects on my brain. I changed to organic drinks that produced no so such effects. I realized that I must now also have become sensitized to sulfites, a commonly used additive to extend storage time. And to increase profits.

A few weeks later, I was still feeling weak but otherwise all right. While I was puttering around my big yard and garden, I noticed smoke rising from an abandoned chicken farm about a quarter mile away in our valley. This continued for several days. In the afternoons, my throat would get hoarse, and I had to clear it often. On about the fourth day of this, I finally realized that this smoke might be the cause of my respiratory responses. I again searched the Internet, but this time for “burning chicken manure arsenic.” I was not surprised by the results: “Do not to burn chicken litter. It disperses arsenic into the air.“ The “king of poisons” had been added to chicken feed for decades to kill parasites, and to increase profits. Furthermore, a long-time resident in our valley informed me that the manure from hundreds of thousands of chickens had been used to fertilize the surrounding farmland for many years.

I informed our local fire chief about the smoldering fire, and he said that burning any kind of manure was illegal. Thankfully, he then had the smoldering, previously bulldozed rubble of manure, buildings and equipment extinguished.

A day or two later, I had to go on a scheduled road trip and stay in a hotel for a three nights. Some of my previous symptoms worsened considerably. The hotel smelled strongly of air fresheners, chlorine and other disinfectants. Even though this building was fairly new, damp chemical fumes had already severely rusted the steel doors and hinges to the indoor swimming pool. Therefore, to keep from corroding myself, I sometimes wore a bitumen facemask, when I had to pass through halls or lobbies. During this time, the smell of diesel exhaust suddenly became overpowering for me, as did perfume, and other fumes. I later learned that one’s acuity for smells from chemicals, to which one had become sensitized, could increase up to hundreds of times.

My appetite and thirst grew to ferocious proportions. I ate all kinds of organic foods, including many fats, while only very slowly regaining my weight. Furthermore, I was beginning to have allergic reactions to particular foods or, more likely, artificial food additives. This was evident by my immediate nose dripping responses and delayed dull brain-swelling-like headaches and fuzzy thinking. My thirst increased to the point that I began carrying big bottles of water almost everywhere I went. And I still do.

Up to a few months ago, I was still taking a low-dose anxiety drug, which a traditional doctor had been prescribing for many years. However, it seemed to have lost much of its effectiveness, because I was still suffering from poor sleep quality. Most likely, this drug was only suppressing symptoms and not curing causes. This could lead to long-term illnesses without anyone being aware it. I had had vague headaches in the past, but now I was beginning to wake up on many a night feeling such within a few minutes. My overall discomfort now became often so intense that at times I just wanted to die.

Such was my most recent state of being. Therefore, Lisa recommended that I should take tri-salts instead of the prescription drug. I slowly phased it out over several days and kept taking the salts for several more weeks. This caused me having to drink even more water. Since I was obviously flushing out a lot more water-soluble nutrients by doing so, I increased my food supplements.

While I was being detoxified from arsenic, I went to the bathroom one night and passed out. My wife counted my pulse at 38 beats per minute. My blood pressure had always been in the normal range for decades, but now it dropped to 105/50, sometimes lower, and was almost that low for a long time thereafter. A few days after collapsing, I visited my long-time family physician. He was not sure what was causing my problems. I tried to tell him that I thought that it could be chemicals to which I had become sensitized. However, he held up his palms as if saying; do not even think about that. Instead, he surmised that I might have sinus trouble and prescribed long-term treatment with antibiotic and antihistamine. He also ordered a blood test and later informed me that my blood profile indicated “a serious illness.” Therefore, he sent me to a cardiologist and oncologist for expert diagnosing.

On the cardiologist’s questionnaire I answered “Sick Building Syndrome” to the allergies question. When he read this, he exclaimed, “Sick Building Syndrome, what the heck is that?” Then, before even listening to me with his stethoscope, he said that I might have to have a heart pacer. I believed that this was completely wrong. I was feeling too well again but did not respond. He then observed my heart with an ultrasound video. He told me that it was healthy, my low resting pulse was normal, and to “keep jogging.”

The cancer center took two additional blood tests spaced two weeks apart, to determine if my blood abnormality might only be temporary. By this time, I was often even feeling very exuberant. He showed me a computer printout that described possible causes of my blood abnormality. These could have been PTSD from my early-life trauma and/or my chronic, extreme ear infection, which I had learned to forestall only a few years ago. My last blood profile was again normal and the oncologist’s statement final statement was that “you will die of old age.”

My ear infections and traumas occurred early in my life. Decades later, I had had intermittent blood tests as part of my physical exams. Why had these never shown such aberrant results before? And then these were only temporary. I had anticipated that my body had been overly polluted and become sensitized to certain chemicals. My immune system must have reacted to a recent such exposure and resulted in my abnormal blood profile. Three “traditional medicine” doctors never considered this, nor did they find different causes. My last test had shown that my blood was normal again and without traditional treatment.

For decades, I had been certain that I would live to a very old age. It was in my genes. I had long wished to live to at least one hundred, because there are many exciting activities I still wanted to pursue. However, by observing the persistent destructive activities of too many people, I have to conclude that there is a good chance that I could die from such activities long before then.

During my long recovery, I extensively researched man-made toxins and their health effects. I also learned that if I had remained exclusively under the care of “traditional medicine,” I would also have increased my chances of dying prematurely. And most likely very slowly without being too aware of it in the beginning, because I would unwittingly continue to accumulate toxins, instead of avoiding and ridding myself of them. Most likely, I would also have had to take a growing selection of medicines to keep from getting worse and to make myself feel better. Nowadays, this has become an all too common practice. Just consider the massive illegal use of “legal” drugs and the massive advertising of such.

Now, most of my formerly frequent chemical sensitivity symptoms have completely disappeared or have become much less frequent and intense. They are reminders that I have to continue to pay attention to my environment. For example, on a recent day I was feeling very elated, like on most days. But then I had to forego my precautions. My wife had painted her fingernails, and shortly thereafter, I had to drive her to an airport, while she was still out gassing. At the airport I had to use the restroom, which had about eight urinals loaded with powerfully repulsive deodorant blocks. That night, I woke up and quickly developed the familiar delayed reaction headache, which was followed the next by that typical rotten feeling, which I had suffered too many times before.

Fortunately, I have regained most of the stamina and muscle mass that I had before that rotten-egg smell day. However, most importantly, I sleep very well most nights, and in some ways, I now feel better than ever. In the past, my fuzzy thinking often caused me to have to search for my car in parking lots, but now I can zero in on it immediately, even after I hadn’t paid attention to where I had parked it.

I am now on an almost continuous emotional high and laugh, joke and whistle for hours. I whistle even when I am working outside in very hot weather. I rarely worry, am not fearful anymore, and do not take any prescription drugs. I have not even taken one aspirin for many years. I also try to avoid processed, inorganic food to help me stay healthy. This is very important, because I will never know how close I have come, or when I will come, to reaching my total body burden of toxins. Once a person’s immune system is overwhelmed by stress, germs and toxins, and becomes weakened enough, it can be a constant unbelievable and painful struggle just to stay alive. Personally knowing several people in such situations has convinced me that this so.

I was fortunate, but in one way only, that during the time of my quickening downward health spiral, I met Lisa, who had almost died from poisonings. After we first met, she started leading me into the right direction so I would not have the same toxin-caused traumas from which her entire family has been suffering for years.

Our collective experiences prove that multiple chemical sensitivity is real and that it is mainly triggered by commonly used, man-made toxins. Our symptoms did not come about because we might have vivid imaginations. Lisa especially has, or has had many of modern day illnesses. Some of them even worsened by traditional prescription drugs. However, she was brought back from slow and almost certain death by “alternative treatments,” and after extensive traditional medicine treatments had failed.

If the long duration and intensities of my traumas would have resulted in PTSD and imaginary illnesses, they would most likely already have started before or during my raging hormone years and not years later. This would have been especially true because there was literally never one person to console me during my growing years. I simply suffered and endured in lonely silence. Even during those times, I cannot remember ever having had noticeable symptoms, other than colds and such, and later, those described herein. However, I am not super human, as one doctor had implied in her review about my memoir, “The human potential seems to be infinite!“

Many of my apparent allergy-like chemical sensitization symptoms matched those of my friends. Our symptoms were definitely caused by accumulating toxins in our bodies. Our “allergy” symptoms fluctuated in frequency and intensity depending on the types, quantities and duration of our exposures.

Given my brutal emotional and physical experiences, I naturally also must have, or have had, psychologically-induced reactions to anything that is related to such. These also include such reactions from toxins. Such are normal self-preserving responses. They benefit me in that these caused me to always wanting fresh air, daily vigorous exercise and also help me to avoid destructive situations.

Modern sanitation and medicine developed around the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, and this has saved uncountable lives. Many of such infectious diseases have all but disappeared in the developed world. However, modern-day medicine is just beginning to discover the effects of the thousands of modern-day chemicals on health. It can take years to research, years to change mindsets and finding solutions for the many formerly unknown illnesses. Unfortunately, twisted statistics notwithstanding, these are spreading at an astounding rate. Therefore, prevention through avoidance of toxins, nutrition and exercise is of utmost importance. However, that requires a lot of self-discipline, which many people do not seem to able to muster.

Over the years, I was unknowingly exposed to many every-day toxins. These caused me intense long-term pain for most of my life. No one was able to diagnose these causes until I met Lisa. She had already suffered to the extreme from such. Therefore, inform yourself about this most important subject. Act! Such “I just want to die” pain could also be yours.

So there!

Illegal Immigrants and Laws

Since I am an immigrant to the Unites States, and one of its last true slaves, I may be qualified to speak about these subjects: If someone does something illegal, he breaks the law and therefore has to be punished. If not, why have the law, or any other law. According to “Ami’s Avalanche Axiom,” when we begin to make exceptions in law enforcement, we sow the seeds of our own downfall.

Furthermore, since we have become collectively extremely lazy to do our own work, millions are hiring illegal immigrants and therefore are aiding and abetting criminals, which is also illegal. Crime is defined as “… commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender liable to punishment by that law.”

But many legal and illegal immigrants are also being very exploited. And this may even be against a higher law. Cicero stated that “the welfare of the people is the ultimate law.” And that includes all of us. But since we are now caught in a rapidly growing national avalanche, are we going to survive as a nation when we crash at the bottom?

And by the way, after I came to America, I learned English rather quickly, because I was forced to speak it daily, and without the "benifit" of ESL courses.

We are in great pain and mutating rapidly

I talked about my observations that the human race is mutating. And drugs in our water is only one of the many causes of why this is happening: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLG%2CGGLG%3A2005-37%2CGGLG%3Aen&q=%22drugs+in+water%22&btnG=Search.

OK, let's freak not out. Let us present a united force to stop the pervasive pollution of the earth and start prosecuting those who knowingly pollute us.

What kind of punishment would you suggest for someone who knowingly causes cancer, fibromyalia, chronic fatigue, MCS, ADHD, Parkinson's Disease, autism, MS and other modern day illnesses of epidemic proportions? Such a slow death or "paid administrative leave?"

The greater a public problem, the greater the public silence

Many people are presently dying, painfully and needlessly. In your family and circle of friends. Since I was born into the Nazi regime, I recognize a thundering public silence about this situation. Just yesterday, the brother of a very good friend killed himself. His body was polluted with many poisons, and therefore he was in despair. But no one recognized one of the root causes of his depression and physical misery, and therefore, only his symptoms were being treated. I have often recognized similar lingering unhealthy conditions in others during my visits with hundreds of people.

And hardly a week goes by, when I don't learn of someone I personally know, who has, has had, or is being diagnosed with cancer, or some other modern-day disease. Five cancer cases within the last month, four of whom are living within a thirty mile radius from my house.

Our nation has mind-boggling man-made health problems. If these are not resolved succesfully and soon, and you remove the time factor, this ongoing dying will make the Nazi regime look like cub scouts in terms of numbers.

But too many people are profiting and/or are covering up their own misdeeds. Other people are too afraid to face harsh reality, to even think about such realities, or are ignorant and in denial about such.

Don't believe me? Click on the title bar of this post to let a growing flock of "canaries" warn and enlighten you. They have been poisoned and are warning others about pervasive scientist-created toxins. I don't have to tell you we have poisoned the earth. And here is but one very subtle method toxins get into our homes and into our bodies: I had a friend who was a research chemist for a large chemical company. He said that other companies who produced industrial wastes, contacted his company requesting something like, "we produce so many tons of such and such toxic waste per year. What can you create from this waste product?"

Do your own research as to which chemicals are harmful and how you can avoid them.

A Glimpse of an Outstanding Education

An excerpt from my memoir:

"...The pupils, called students only after they enrolled at a university, had no choice of courses. All were required to follow the prescribed curriculum that was almost purely academic in nature. Our main subjects were German, French, mathematics and sciences, while English and Latin were added in later years. These main courses were taught several times a week, while other classes such as music, art, history, geography and physical education were offered once or twice a week. Since we could not choose subjects that we might have enjoyed, and there were no extracurricular activities, we found little relief from our problems at home.

There was also little distraction inside the school buildings, and unlike in today’s classrooms, all the walls were white and devoid of posters or displays of any kind. The starkness of the spaces forced the attention of the pupils on the teacher, and the artworks of the pupils were displayed only on the walls of the art room.

Once a week we also studied religion. The pupils were separated into two classes, Catholics and Protestants. I liked these classes, mostly because they provided relief from the intense study, and we did not have to take the tests that I so abhorred.

Our schools also instilled us with a great amount of discipline. We had to write everything with pen and ink; we never used pencils or erasers. This forced us to think carefully about what to put down on paper, and when we made an error our only choice was to cross it out. Neatness was also graded. All lining had to be done with a straightedge; freehand ruling was not allowed. If a pupil ignored this rule, the teacher would be likely to embarrass him with an unkind remark...

...We never used preprinted forms for homework or tests. Multiple choice, true or false questions and such were completely unknown to us. Most of our examinations were much more challenging. For example, our teacher dictated sentences in German, and we had to write the translations in ink in the foreign language that was being taught. The pressure was enormous because we had to respond to the speed of the dictation, and we could not return to re-read questions or think about our answers later. Ten to twelve spelling or grammatical errors on a language test resulted in failure. For other kinds of tests, the teacher usually wrote the problems or questions on the blackboards and later erased them again.

Even though several hundred pupils attended this school, it had no valedictorians, school board, logo, school colors, mascot, advisors, counselors, nurses, librarians, cafeterias, vending machines, copy machines, newspapers, reader boards, bands, sports teams or coaches and clubs. There was not a single club. Or gang. Resource officers, with or without guns, did not exist because each teacher had the ability to mete out immediate and severe punishment, along with its associated shame, which no student wanted to suffer. There was no scapegoating either. A willow switch, a pull on the ear, more effective than guns?

There was only one non-academic employee in our school, a janitor to keep the building clean. We had no study hall, teacher’s aides or tutors. If we needed assistance with our schoolwork we had to hire our own tutors after school. And if we still could not meet the academic standards, we simply flunked out because there were no alternative schools, or “GED” (General Education Development) programs.

There were no loudspeakers, radios, telephones, movie projectors or sound equipment to distract us. We had no invited speakers or demonstrations, seminars or parent-teacher organizations. There were no courses in self-esteem, sex or social agendas. Instead of learning to mix drinks, we learned French. Instead of bouncing around in tutus, we beat our brains out with algebra. We were not taught how to dress with condoms. We were deprived and unprotected in this cruel world, but we were taught all the basics, including sciences, mathematics and foreign languages. We learned a lot and at a much smaller cost than it does today. Because we had to study so hard some of our textbooks often fell apart and became severely dog-eared and dirty.

There were no school buses even though the pupils came from far and wide. They commuted by trains, buses and bikes, or on foot, and had to pay for their own transportation, textbooks, and all other school supplies.

Our school taught facts, logic and no hocus-pocus of any kind. We had no distracting entertainment such as dances or assemblies in our boot camp. In other words, we were totally deprived but learned absolute discipline and obedience. We actually learned too much of such, Siggi and I. Even before we had entered school, we were the paragons of discipline and urgently needed some hocus-pocus. Unfortunately our school did not provide us with such relief from the torments that were caused exclusively by people. If our parents, lawyers, teachers or other pupils mistreated us, there was no one to help us. We were expected to be silent when we wanted to scream and simply had to frown and bear whatever miseries were heaped on us..."

Please Discuss these Problems with Me

“Ami’s Avalanche Axiom” states that we must deal with the root causes of problems as soon as they develop, or they may grow beyond our control. Therefore we must address questions regarding modern-day problems. We have to debate possible solutions in a civil, non-emotional manner and take actions until we achieve the desired results for the common good.

Since “experience is wisdom,“ my years of brutal experiences and enlightening world travels prompt me to invite debates on the root causes of why:

We think that increasing our numbers will boost our economy?

We keep treating symptoms of problems instead of removing their causes?

We have become addicted to very limited food selections and drugs?

We can be fooled more easily than ever before?

We keep “studying” effects of violence/perversion in “entertainment” and keep increasing such?

We feel so helpless in squelching evil?

Our middle class is falling into ever-deeper poverty?

We keep adding/replacing evermore failed or counter-productive programs with more of the same?

We think that self-esteem is more important than individual initiative, self-discipline, respect, honor, responsibility?

We are literally and physically mutating for the worse?

We keep falling ever further behind other “advanced” countries in health, longevity, life quality?

We still think that we are the richest country on earth?

We have substituted judicial spanking of unruly children with drugs, armed guards, lawsuits, spy cameras, and fantasy programs?

We do not learn from our worsening mistakes?

Our garbage cans are several times bigger than those in Europe?

Europe does not decorate its highways with garbage?

We now have so many formerly unknown illnesses?

We keep deluding ourselves with euphemisms?

We allow “interest groups” to steal billions of our hard-earned dollars?

We have become so lazy?

We feel uncomfortable and even get mad about these questions?

The common answer to these questions is stated in this article.
