German and Austrian scientists knew in the
early 1930s that an over active thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
could be successfully treated by bathing patients in water
containing minute amounts of fluoride. They had discovered
nearly a century ago that fluoride blocked thyroid function.
For the US government, long partnered with the
pharmaceutical industry, to then force this same treatment
on a nation of people with healthy thyroids under the lie
that fluoride “prevents cavities in children,” is
unconscionable. The Nuremberg Code of ethics pertaining to
human experimentation labels it an act of crime, stating,
“The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely
essential.” Today, 70% of the US is being forced to receive
this thyroid-blocking chemical via their water without
consent or medical monitoring for overdose, allergic
reaction or blocked thyroid function. The benefits are being
reaped by the largest of US industries: the pharmaceutical
industry. Fluoride has created a nation of suffering people
seeking more drugs to treat blocked thyroids and fluoride
toxicity. We might drink bottled water, but most of us
cannot avoid the bathwater.
Deliberately damaging the thyroid will produce
a plethora of symptoms affecting the entire human body from
head to toe. Symptoms of thyroid damage and fluoride
poisoning include weight gain, edema, kidney disease, kidney
failure, hair loss, depression, aggression, aches, pains, skin problems, bone deformities (likely including
“arthritis” and spontaneous fractures), sexual/erectile
dysfunction, memory loss, weakness, fatigue, heart disease,
irritability, cancer, digestive disorders including severe
GERD as a result of swallowing fluoride, nausea, vomiting,
visual problems, gum disease, “high cholesterol,” connective
tissue damage, brittle teeth, wrinkles, premature aging,
dehydration, and long, long after the whole body has been
damaged, “cosmetic fluorosis” might finally show up in a
tooth or two. “Cosmetic fluorosis” is usually the only sign
of fluoride poisoning mentioned by fluoride promoters, while
downplaying the rest of the signs as though their
livelihoods depended upon it.
"Factory farms are dangerous to the environment; they are ticking time bombs of manure just waiting to be spilled into public waters."

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals recently delivered a major victory to factory farms. Under a 2008 EPA rule, any confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) "designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner such that the CAFO will discharge" animal waste must apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under the Clean Water Act. The livestock industry ridiculed the notion that a farm must apply for a permit to discharge manure whether it intended to discharge it or not. And while, when phrased that way, it might sound ridiculous to you too, the details of the case betray a different story.
David Kirby, author of Animal Factory, The Looming Threat of Industrial Pig, Dairy, and Poultry Farms to Humans and the Environment
, tells story after story in his book of factory farms discharging waste irresponsibly -- sometimes on purpose, and sometimes not. As Karen Hudson, whose story is told in the book, says, "Factory farms are dangerous to the environment; they are ticking time bombs of manure just waiting to be spilled into public waters."
Fears have been reignited about the safety of energy saving light bulbs after a group of scientists warned that they contain cancer causing chemicals.

Their report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone’s head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on.
Peter Braun, who carried out the tests at the Berlin's Alab Laboratory, said: “For such carcinogenic substances it is important they are kept as far away as possible from the human environment.”
The bulbs are already widely used in the UK following EU direction to phase out traditional incandescent lighting by the end of this year.
But the German scientists claimed that several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins were released when the environmentally-friendly compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) were switched on, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene.
