CONFERENCE, LONDON, 2&3 September 2003
ABSTRACT
Since the switch to heavy oils in the UK in the 1980s and to hazardous
waste fuels since 1992, and increasingly since 1997 under the Blair regime,
(especially through the increase of incineration), the level of PM2,5
particulates has soared and content become much nastier. The USEPA has dealt
with the issue, but in the UK, "spin" by conflict-of-interest
professors on rogue quango committees like COMEAP, national poisons unit
doctors, public health doctors. Medical Research Council, health charities
(part funded) and "friends of the earth" have misled the public and
corrupt Environment Agency to the financial benefit of pharmaceutical, power,
oil, cement & waste companies. Cocktail effects aggravated by OP pesticides
and certain vaccines have occurred leading to damaged body defences and immune
system. Plans have been announced to impose a further 165 huge incinerators by
diklat in the UK. This will enable imports of hazardous waste to escalate.
Biffa paid for FoE's waste policy plans comprising burning waste in cement
works and incinerators as pellets, exactly what was passed at Swansea. Journals
are now censored to support govt. "spin".
The
toll of industrial pollution has amounted to some 140000 unnecessary deaths
annually plus illnesses comprising as much as 40% of the "NHS bill.
Wasting almost 20% of the NHS budget on “managers" has not cured the causes.
The range of immune system malfunction related diseases includes autism, ME,
SLE, multiple chemical sensitivity, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue
syndrome, gulf war syndrome, celiac disease, polymyalgia rheumatica &
fibromyalgia. An association has been documented with endometriosis, allergies
& hypothyroidisro. The inflammatory process often reveals itself in one
organ then spreads later. Key protective items damaged by pollutants include
the blood-brain barrier, p53 gene, P450 liver cytochrome, depletion of
T-lymphocyte numbers and the blood-bowel barrier, if the CD26
lymphocyte-activation marker is increased, chronic lymphocytic infiltrates in
subrnucosal tissue follow. However, polymorph cells are increased following
exposure to volatile organic compounds, and increased lgE follows exposure to
emissions from use of dirtier oils. A weakened immune system is ready prey to
weaponised military or ordinary viruses/bacteria. Unbalanced non-organic diets,
nuclear radiation and some antibiotic-related overgrowths weaken bowel wall
integrity which can lead to leakage of antigens into the blood stream resulting
in haptens then auto-antibodies. The cocktail effect thrives, worst in the
killing zones.
GULF WAR SYNDROME CASE STUDY.
Victims who started off as fit & young, have been damaged by a
selection of the following assaults ---
1. PM2.5 particulate inhalation
from the oil fires 1991 and PMI depleted uranium inhalation 1991 and 2003. 40%
of DU (U238) used in shells/missiles vaporises to PMI size with remainder
staying on site as residue. Effects of PMIs of DU inhaled were listed in the 30
October 1943 report to Brig.Gen.LR Groves (USA) and May 2001 report of Dr. D.
Rok-ke (Nexus June/July 2003) proving results include asthma, damage to nerves,
eyes, gums, kidneys, neuropsychological state, and causing skin rashes,
lymphomas, cancers, uranium in semen and birth defects in progeny. Some 390
tons of DU was used in the 1991 war, and subsequently in Okinawa 1995/6, Serbia
1995, New Mexico, Puerto Rica, Nevada, Florida & Maryland and also
Scotland. Atomic tests in Australia 0ct.l952-0ct.l957 left a legacy of cancers
etc. especially in South Aust. & Queensland. The UK government said
Australians were "expendable" during the Australian atomic testing
program. Malignant melanoma arises from radioactivity and grows when the p53
gene is damaged by PAHs or ultraviolet light. The highest death rate is in
Scotland among those who have not traveled away. Radioactive levels in the UK
are raised from incineration of nuclear waste in 34 incinerators, plus
emissions from steel plants (70000Bq/kg) and Sellafield, Nycomed (Cardiff),
Trecatti & Nantygwyddon waste sites, and UK. nuclear plants and
nuclear waste facilities. Adelaide in South Australia was plastered with
radioactive fallout from 11 to 16 October 1956 comprising plutonium 239,
Americanum 241, Iodine 131, Strontium 90 & Caesium 137. Tony Blair's mother
died of thyroid cancer following that exposure. The highest rate of birth
defects and breast cancers in Wales are downwind of the old Trawsffynedd
nuclear power station, Pembroke oil complex & Nantygwyddon (breast
cancers to follow). An increase in incidence of leukaemia c.1991 and general
cancers c.2002 followed a nuclear incident in Earley (Reading) in 1986. Effects
of PM2.5s from oil fires include asthma, strokes, heart attacks, cancers
(especially lung, prostate and bowel), hypothyroidism, clinical depression,
infant mortality (locals). High PAHs would have wrecked the p53 gene promoting
cancer growth over the subsequent 20 years. A Belgian incinerator report
covered 20 years of premature death and illnesses. The report about the Port
Kembia steel works emitting up to 150000Bq/Kg of radionucleotides revealed
leukaemia and cancer rates up to 16km downwind with the highest nearest to the
plant some 9 times higher, then dropping off steadily.
2. Multiple vaccines given
within too short a period. It takes 10
days to produce a template for antibody production. 4 vaccines within a 10 day
period in 2003 contained thiomersal, opening blood/brain barrier & harming
immune system.
3. OP pesticide spray
potentiated by sarin exposure opened blood brain barrier causing asthma,
depression, nerve, brain cell and immune system damage thus) leading to multiple
chemical sensitivity. Copper is depleted too. Inquest of a Porton Down sarin
victim is still refused.
4. Pyridostigmine &
DEET insect repellent & synthetic pyrethroids cause further damage
to enzymes. (See reports by Prof. Abou-Donia, ongoing).
5. Bits
of HIV inserted into mycoplasma produced by UK/USA given Iraq and used along
Kuwait border in 1991 was germ warfare. Professors Vojdani &Nicholson
produced test & cured US troops affected with 2 antibiotics. UK troops left
to rot by MOD. Mycoplasma has CIA patent, having been made from brucellosis
germ nucleus. Mycoplasma has contaminated vaccines and is involved in causing
fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis etc. when the immune system has been
compromised. In contrast, ME can be caused by viruses such as HHV6 or Epstein
Bar" or cytomegalovirus when the immune system and P450 liver cytochrome are
disabled, the latter by carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide or mercaptens. The
P450 disabling can last 3 years, ruining the body's detox system.
References for the above
accompany my two 2002 peer-renewed published reports.
THE AUTISM & MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
PROCESS.
I. INCREASED MERCURY EXPOSURE AT
YOUNGER AGE.
Thiomersal in DTP (25 ug.mercury per
dose), DT, Tetanus, Hepatitis B & (most) influenza vaccines, content of
some fish, and emissions from industrial chimneys including incinerators,
waste-burning cement works & crematoria have led to an ever higher body burden
of mercury at a younger and younger age. A relative shortage of zinc in the
diet precludes the formation of metailothionme hence preventing the mercury'
being excreted via the urine, Mercury opens up the blood/brain and blood/bowel
barriers, hypes the immune system and acts on various brain processes in a
harmful way. The process is compounded by a herbicide and exposure to lead.
Levels of mercury inhaled at UK schools have reached around lug/m3 PM2.5 size
in Derbyshire and probably higher elsewhere. Mercury can induce alteration of
genes affecting astrocyte differentiation and regional brain glial fibrillary
acidic protein so that autoimmune reactions can occur with raised lgG affecting
neurofilaments and myelin basic protein. These antibodies correlate with
sensorimotor deficits and neuromuscular function. Neurotoxicants have been
demonstrated in 90% of autistic children resulting from autoantibodies produced
by haptens formed by the mercury or other toxin attaching to brain proteins
potentiated by the opened blood-brain barrier. OP pesticides also open up the
blood/brain barrier. Vojdani has detected antibodies to 9 different
neuron-specific antigens in the sera of autistic children. ELISA essays
determined serum IgA, lgM and lgG levels against the antigens.
2. LOW T-LYMPHOCYTE LEVELS from HIGH
PM2.5 AIR POLLUTION.
Use of hazardous (effectively waste)
mixes as fuel in the UK since 1992 in incinerators, cement works, trains, oil
refineries and other industry has vastly increased PM2.5 air pollution, recently
measured at 600ug/m3 in the UK (USEPA annual limit 15ug/m3). 90% of
those particles size PMI are retained in the lung and are dealt with by
macrophages and T-lymphocytes. The depletion of the T-lymphocytes leaves the
victim vulnerable to infections and bad reactions to multiple live vaccines
such as MMR. Studies have already revealed a marked drop in T-lymphocytes in
many recipients of Tetanus and MMR vaccines. Hence a study near a Belgian
incinerator complying with EC directives found almost 90% of boys aged 2 to 9
years suffering from assorted illnesses. Infections such as otitis would be
treated with antibiotics, many of which lead to alteration in bowel flora
including candida or clostridium or new infections including streptococcus,
mycopiasma or HHV-6 can be acquired or MMR-measles virus would start up a bowel
wall inflammation if the level of T-lymphocytes was inadequate to cope with the
viral load injected.
3. BOWEL WALL INFLAMMATION and SHORT
CHAIN PEPTIDES.
Antibiotics may alter bowel flora,
for example inducing Candida overgrowth (unless probiotics or nystation are
given). Low T-lymphocyte levels may allow the development of new predominant
bowel bacteria or viruses. A low grade bowel wall inflammation results,
reducing production of secretin, leading to reduction in pancreatic proteinase
enzymes, resulting in inadequate digestion of especially milk butyrophilin and
other short chain peptides are then absorbed from the inflamed bowel wall into
the blood becoming antigens and opiate like agents. Auto-antibodies are then
carried into the brain along with the relevant virus/bacteria enabled by that
opened blood/brain barrier, cross-reacting with brain proteins. MMR
administration produces increased cytokine interferon-gamma. With inadequate
T-lymphocytes and/or inadequate vitamin A, an over action of interferon gamma
occurs found at 30 times controls in autistic children. If the child receiving
MMR still has a high rubella antibody titre from the mother, an added
immunological inflammatory response occurs. Development of autism takes time
due to the need for adequate build-up of auto-antibodies in the brain to cause
clinical effects. Lower levels account for less acute syndromes. This process
is identical for autism, multiple sclerosis and Gillian Barre Syndrome with
different viruses and peptide chains. The coeliac disease process is also
similar except that it involves bowel only rather than the brain.
TREATMENT OPTIONS medically include detox following
analysis of toxins and preferably ELISA findings where available. In most cases
zinc administration is required for at least 6 weeks. Other medicaments such as
coenzyme QIO (to assist mitochondria of brain cells, assist immune system to
deal with Candida, and to act as anti-inflammatory antihistamine),
glyconutrients (xylitol being the most active ingredient), and vitamin B6 (to
prevent pentosidine formation which is involved in various conditions including
Alzheimers) amongst others have been used in treating autistic children with
varying success. These findings explain the processes involved and concur with
patient experience. The diet must be modified and enzymes added in the worst
victims.
