Genetically Modified Trees Extract Mercury
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Turning Genetically Engineered Trees Into Toxic Avengers
Last summer, on the site of 35 former hat factories where toxic mercury was once used to cure pelts, city officials in Danbury, Conn., deployed a futuristic weapon: 160 Eastern cottonwoods. Dr. Richard Meagher, a professor of genetics at the University of Georgia, genetically engineered the trees to extract mercury from the soil, store it without being harmed, convert it to a less toxic form of mercury and release it into the air.

It was one of two dozen proposals Dr. Meagher has submitted to various agencies over two decades for engineering trees to soak up chemicals from contaminated soil. For years, no one would pay him to try. "I got called a charlatan," he said. "People didn't believe a plant could do this." He will begin to assess the experiment's success this fall. But his is not the only such experiment with trees. COPYRIGHT © THE NEW YORK TIMES

Mercury Poisoning

Postby jupiters_release » Thu 01 Mar 2007, 12:22:54

Over 200 million Americans have it and don't know it. Mercury is the most toxic substance on earth.
My doctor sent me this very informative link: link

It's never too late to recover your health! Get them removed and start chelating.

Back when i was in middle school up here in WI, we got to play with Mercury...yes play with it! I don't remember getting any on me, but i know others did. It was in a science class of mine. This was in the early 90's.

A friend of mine in her late 30's was recently diagnosed with it. She was getting involuntary shaking in her hands. The doctor told her to stop eating tuna.

While Mercury is persistent and bioaccumulative, it is a far cry from the most toxic substance on earth.

For teflon vapors you can air out your home daily and not use non-stick cookware. For cell phones you can buy a $15 corded ear piece to eliminate the close contact radiation. Sun bathing is healthy for you if you use Aubrey's organic SPF 15 lotion. Tackling one problem at a time helps.

Don't take me wrong, j_r, I'm thankful to have the knowledge presented in that video, it's just that the competition is fierce for what will do me in first. And ultimately it doesn't matter.

It's all about risk management. I'd rather have the mercury filling from 30 years ago than the painfully infected cavity. Sure the filling could be replaced with something new and improved, but like dredging the PCB laden sediments of the Hudson or Housatonic Rivers, the attempt at repair leads to a more significant exposure.

And the sun? LOL I fry. With SPF 15, I just fry 5 minutes later.
Teflon? Which will kill me first - the teflon or the aggravation of cleaning dirty pots and pans?

Since people have a much longer lifespan currently, I tend to believe the aggravation of dirty pots and pans is the killer there :-)


Now if I found out all this teflon was going to screw with the environment, that's a different story. It's OK for people to poison themselves with their choices as long as they dont affect me.

Now what do we do with all that estrogen in the environment? Stop the birth control pills and really watch world population skyrocket? It's all about risk management. The problem is the risks are usually derived from a cost-based scenario where the complete cost from cradle to grave is not fully considered and once something's on the market it is never reconsidered until something better comes along.

Turns out mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on Earth!

If you follow these protocols your exposure is substantially minimized:

1. rubber dam to isolate teeth and block oral air flow into lungs

2. high volume evacuation suction

3. alternate oxygen source to patient, through the nose

4. section amalgams in large segments

5. don't do more than two quandrants at a time

You'll still be exposed to a little more, but thats negligible considering all the mercury that's been stored in your body tissue over the years which you'll have to start flushing out either orally with garlic, cilantro, spirulina or intravenously with a doctor. It can take up to an entire year to get most of the mercury out but within six months all the other toxic elements should already be at acceptable levels. Definitely a work in progress, and if you care about your health there's really no choice but to do it if you can afford to get the amalgams extracted, many insurance plans don't cover it, all said and done around $3000, civilization may have very little time left, you won't be able to get this done WTSHTF if you're lucky enough to survive, if not then the time we do have left is that more precious. I've lived with mercury poisoning since I was a kid, I got half my amalgams out on Monday and can't wait for the last half to see how healthy I can become for once.

If you are worried about mercury poisoning there is a non-prescription substance which can cure you; Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid. EDTA will detoxify your body of many different metals, including lead. It is the standard FDA recomended treatment for metals poisoning.

I believe EDTA works for most metals except mercury which requires DMSA.

I'll probably stick with oral chelation, which I can do every day. I ordered the vegetarian chelation formula along with wild Tibetan goji berries from this site: http://www.extremehealthusa.com/
They even admit that the body only absorbs about 4-18% of supplements, but over time their formula is very effective.

Not afraid of death at all, but I don't want to miss out on life's potential by keeping my amalgams. The majority of people have them, and I wish someone had told me years ago about this problem, and I'm assuming not everyone here on peakoil knows as well. Funny I wouldn't even be doing this if I hadn't seen Dr. Ayoub's video Dukey linked couple weeks ago, I didn't know I was breathing in a vaccination's dose of mercury every day for the past 16 or so years.

If anything I've learned the power of a positive spirit despite my ignorance.
