The Sunspot Enigma: The Sun is “Dead”—What Does it Mean for Earth?

Posted by seumasach on June 16, 2008

Daily Galaxy

Dark spots, some as large as 50,000 miles in diameter, typically move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go. These strange and powerful phenomena are known as sunspots, but now they are all gone. Not even solar physicists know why it’s happening and what this odd solar silence might be indicating for our future.

British bees may go extinct

Posted by smeddum on June 16, 2008

This video is testimony to the frivolity and light-mindedness which informs the British approach to this issue. It talks of losses rising to 12% of colonies, a figure scarcely above normal winter losses. Then the figure is 20%: still hardly enough to justify the claim that bees might die out. Other sources put the losses at 50-80%: that would be an emergency and fits in with the observation that there are few bees, if any, to be seen. It looks like the British Beekeepers Association are trying to play this all down and, if so, that would be a highly irresponsible response to a crisis which threatens us all. The British government says there is no CCD (formerly, the very  British  “Marie Celeste Syndrome”): what are their sources if not the beekeepers themselves who have already reported CCD .

Posted by seumasach on June 16, 2008

First it was “silver fillings”, then thimerosal in vaccines. Now we have this quaint little innovation to save us from “global warming”: the mercury filled light bulb. What is this love affair with the deadliest toxin on the planet?

Can mobiles make you infertile?

Posted by seumasach on June 12, 2008

“These new technologies have been introduced without full provision of information about their nature and without prior discussion within the scientific community about its possible consequences for health.” 

1st June, Kounteya Sinha, (Times of India)

 

NEW DELHI: In a recent pilot study done at Jawaharlal Nehru University, rats subjected to radiation from mobile phones were found to have damaged DNA and low sperm count, leading to infertility and reduction in testis size. The Union health ministry now wants to find out whether excessive cellphone use could be having the same adverse effects on your health. Read the rest of this entry »

Mercury Fillings Shattered! FDA, ADA Conspiracy to Poison Children with Toxic Mercury Fillings Exposed in Groundbreaking Lawsuit

Posted by seumasach on June 10, 2008

Thursday, June 05, 2008 by: Mike Adams(Natural News)

(NaturalNews) The FDA has, for decades, ridiculously insisted that mercury fillings pose no health threat whatsoever to children. While dismissing hundreds of studies showing a clear link between mercury amalgam fillings (“silver fillings”) and disastrous neurological effects in the human body, the FDA denied the truth about mercury and effectively protected the mercury filling racket that has brought so much harm to so many people. For over a hundred years, a cabal of “mercury mongers” made up of the American Dental Association, mercury filling manufacturers and indignant dentists have reaped windfall profits by implanting toxic fillings into the mouths of children, all while insisting that mercury — one of the most toxic heavy metals known to modern science — posed no health threat whatsoever.

O2 Lying Again About Masts

Posted by seumasach on June 8, 2008

Are Mobile Phone Masts Making Us Ill?

By Colin Hutton(Clydebank Post)

28th May, 2008

“There’s been a lot of research carried out in the last ten years into mobile phone technology and there’s absolutely no link between health and the masts.” All ten epideminological studies carried out since 2002 have shown clear links between masts and health problems amongst local residents.With the backing of the likes of the Health Protection Agency, companies like O2 can continue to lie with impunity and to undermine our health.

FEARS have been raised that a community’s health could be at risk because of an “excessive” amount of phone masts in the area.

With a total of seven masts, many residents are concerned that recent ill-health — including dizzyness and migraines — might be down to the phone towers. Read the rest of this entry »
