How the world nuked itself over 2000 times

[Kathy]

Most people are aware of my study into the health
effects of radionuclides (especially as it relates to
BSE, and the findings of Mark Purdey et al. see his
book "Animal Pharm").

I received an email from Dr. Gordon Edwards of
Montreal, which contains an animated
demonstration of where, when and who detonated
atomic bombs around the planet (atmospheric and
underground/water). Over 2000 explosions of
atomic weapons since 1945; only 2 of which were
used as a weapon of war (Nagasaki and Hiroshima
- 1945). The video demonstration is really worth
sitting down and watching, as it give perspective of
the levels of destruction and contamination (1945-
1998).

This video can be watched at:

nuked-itself-over-2000-times

(scroll down and click on the video, starts slow but
gets moving as the years progress - tracking year,
month at top right hand of screen, country and
number of bombs each, top and bottom screen).

There is, I believe, as strong relationship between
the nuclear industry (as a whole) and the planetary
radionuclide exposure AND health effects like
Alzheimer's Disease (and other neurological
disorders). The following is an example of on-
going research demonstrating the association
between AD plaques and RAD - radon decay
daughters like polonium etc.

Those who smoke also have high levels of these
RAD in their brain plaques, due to the fact that the
fertilizer applied heavily to tobacco contains high
amounts of these radionuclides. The term
'naturally occurring' RAD is confusing, as with each
bomb detonated... the majority of the metal by
weight involved in the building of the nukes is
uranium 238 (a natural element). Uranium mining
puts massive amounts of "tailings" on the surface
which releases radon gas, which in turn floats low
to the ground (heavy air) and contaminates
land/people down-wind. I hope you'll watch the
video some time. My daughter thought it was
pretty cool!

The study here is free and is an excellent read for
those who are dealing with family with Alzheimer's
Disease/dementia. What is of great importance in
the studies by this group, on this subject, is that
the radioactive elements where strongly associated
with proteins and lipids that make up the plaques
found in the brains of AD and Parkinson's Disease
victims.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Radon is a ubiquitous noble gas in
the environment and a primary source of harmful
radiation exposure for humans; it decays in a
cascade of daughters (RAD) by releasing the cell
damaging high energy alpha particles. RESULTS: We
studied natural distribution of RAD 210Po and
210Bi in the different parts of the postmortem
brain of 86-year-old woman who had suffered
from Alzheimer's disease (AD). A distinct brain map
emerged, since RAD distribution was different
among the analyzed brain areas. The highest RAD
irradiation (mSv x year(-1)) occurred in the
decreasing order of magnitude: amygdala (Amy) >>
hippocampus (Hip) > temporal lobe (Tem)
approximately = frontal lobe (Fro) > occipital lobe
(Occ) approximately = parietal lobe (Par) >
substantia nigra (SN) >> locus ceruleus (LC)
approximately = nucleus basalis (NB); generally
more RAD accumulated in the proteins than lipids
of gray and white (gray > white) brain matter. Amy
and Hip are particularly vulnerable brain structure
targets to significant RAD internal radiation damage
in AD (5.98 and 1.82 mSv x year(-1), respectively).
Next, naturally occurring RAD radiation for Tem and
Fro, then Occ and Par, and SN was an order of
magnitude higher than that in LC and NB; the later
was within RAD we observed previously in the
healthy control brains. CONCLUSION: Naturally
occurring environmental RAD exposure may
dramatically enhance AD deterioration by selectively
targeting brain areas of emotions (Amy) and
memory (Hip).

Kathy, you need to go buy more cows so you have less time to waste on stuff like this. Honestly, you'd feel much better...

[brokenhill]

I thought the forum was on beef production???

[skhadenuf]

Interesting material to say the least, keep posting, there needs to be more people looking into these kinds of things, somewhere at the root of it some company is likely making a killing,(maybe wrong choice of words) but the more money they make the more the general public is kept in the dark or the old "trust us it's safe" You know kinda like BP oil.

[brokenhill]

Maybe post this type of material in the "Rural Issues" category. Might be more appropriate.

[Kathy]

Those that don't know my history on research into
BSE and the findings of Mark Purdey's ecodetective
journeys to all the TSE hotspots, won't appreciate
how this connects to the beef industry. Blinders
will not allow us to find the truth about the cause of
diseases such as BSE, CWD (TSEs) and other plaque
forming diseases of the central nervous system.

The above study is on AD brains, but the science is
what is needed in the TSE field. However, the
research is severely restricted because of the
"highly infectious label" attached to TSEs. Its a good
ruse to keep researchers like this AD team from
looking at the brains of cattle, sheep and deer,
which would be so simple and revealing. Special
level IV labs are not readily accessible, and they
aren't cheap to build.

This IS an issue for beef production. It is important
that the science is not ignored from one field, so
that the "theory" of another can continue to
suppress our livelihoods.

The video which tracks the first 45 years of nuclear
testing, is meant to wake people up to the levels of
contamination that exist in our environment.
Canada has, and continues to support this
environmental nightmare by mining uranium,
selling and promoting nuclear power plants around
the world, and turning a blind eye to the use of
depleted uranium weapons (made with our
uranium).

The "what does this have to do with me?" or our
industry? attitude won't fix any problems
associated with the continued contamination of
land, sea and air. Please try to understand that the
AD paper & the video are just examples of
gathering evidence pointing to the a major clue in
the relationship between plaques of proteins/lipids
in the brain and these toxic elements. Some is
naturally occurring, but the vast majority we are
exposed to is man-made and thus preventable.

Lead exposure has also been shown to cause
spongiform of the brain. Decay products of
uranium, include radon and radio-active forms of
lead.... Stable lead is the last decay product of U238
decays series. We test our water, jewelry etc. for
lead... and ignore the more toxic elements.

Bone meal will have high levels of these toxic
elements as the bones sequester heavy metals at
higher levels than other tissue.

don't worry the moderator will put this in the right room after all any sane and properly run forum has a good moderator right? One thing youu can tell this is a Canadian discussion forum, any where else and it would have been usurped by profanities and porn links...

[per]

Kathy makes a compelling argument for not moving the thread. I totally appreciate the civility of this site.

[grassfarmer]

I don't agree with much that Kathy posts but I absolutely support her right to post it whether it is directly connected with beef or not. For all the critics of where this topic is posted look at what the different sections are called in the community center. This "beef" section is actually meant to be beef production - under the commodity marketing section you will see "beef" listed so technically most of the posts on here about market access, packers etc are posted in the wrong section.

[skhadenuf]

Certainly not an expert on this, actually know very little about it but since the so called cause of BSE was contaminated feed and that has since been eliminated yet more cases of BSE show up after the fact isn't it obvious that either some people are still feeding contaminated material or there is a different cause?
