THE CHEMICAL WARS

DECEMBER 18. As you can see from yesterday’s piece on smallpox, there ARE

mainstream researchers who have broken through the tableau of lies. I have

another one for you, Masters, who works out of Dartmouth, an old Ivy

League institutions. Masters is a hero in a different venue, and I hope this

brief exposure of his work wakes some people up.

Here are some quotes from Masters’ paper, presented at the 20th

International Neurotoxicology Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, on

November 19, 2002. (“Toxicants and Behavior: Implications of ‘Toxigenomics’

for Public Policy”)

“Children’s blood lead is a highly significant predictor of local

differences in educational performance on Massachusetts standardized tests…”

“Violent criminals often have absorbed relatively high levels of lead or

manganese. Areas polluted by these neurotoxicants have higher rates of crime

and alcoholism…”

“Two untested toxicants widely used for water fluoridation—hydrofluosilicic

acid and sodium silicofluoride enhance uptake of lead and are positively

correlated with learning deficits, substance abuse, violent crime, and some

diseases (results for all US counties).”

“First, new research on poor educational performance should focus on lead

and other toxicants. For children with ADHD and other learning disabilities,

funding for effective nutrient therapies or chelation [a procedure that

removes lead and perhaps other heavy metals] should have the highest

priority.”

“…Congress should enact a moratorium on the addition of hydrofluosilicic

acid or sodium silicofluoride to public water supplies. Use of these

compounds should be prohibited unless new scientific evidence demonstrates

their safety…Of these proposals, the last should have the highest priority

[banning fluorides in water supplies] because stopping the use of

silicofluorides promises immediate benefits of reduced educational failure,

substance abuse, and violent crime. Pending Congressional legislation (S.

1626) that expands ‘programs such as community water fluoridation’ without

reference to the chemicals used should be changed.”

Where is the EPA in all this?

Mired in internal disputes about these issues.

I have one suggestion. Let researchers who have discovered similar data get

together and stage a press conference. Plan it out well. Bring in reporters

from a variety of outlets, including stringers from foreign papers. Expose

this information. Try to enlist C-Span. Make your move.
