OF COURSE THIS GOES TO MONSANTO:


The History of PCBs - When Were Problems Detected

1933 --- Problems soon arose at the manufacturing plant. 23 out of 24 workers in the plant had acne-like pustules on their faces and bodies. Some complained of loss of energy, appetite and libido as well as other skin ailments. These symptoms are now known as classic first signs of PCB exposure. [6]

1935 --- Swann was purchased in 1935 by the Monsanto Industrial Chemical Company of St. Louis, Missouri. Monsanto produced PCBs at plants in Sauget, Illinois and Anniston, Alabama (until 1977.) [5] Monsanto then licensed others to make PCBs and the product took off. PCB's have been produced in other countries including Italy (Caffaro), France (Protolec), Japan (Kanegafuchi Chemical Co.), Germany (Bayer), and they may still be produced in Russia. [7]

As electricity came into widespread use during the first half of this century, equipment suppliers like GE and Westinghouse became major users of PCBs. One Monsanto engineer allegedly called it "as perfect as any industrial chemical can be." [8]

1936 --- A senior official with the U.S. Public Health Service described a wife and child, both of whom had developed chloracne, a combination of blackheads and "pustules," merely from contact with a worker’s clothes. The same official wrote, "In addition to these skin lesions, symptoms of systemic poisoning have occurred among workers inhaling these fumes."[9]


Fast forward to 1970:

1969-1970 --- Paper company discharges of PCBs into the Fox River peaked.



1970 --- Annual U.S. production peaked this year, with 85 million pounds of PCBs produced.


1970 --- Monsanto physician Emmett Kelly revealed to W. B. Papageorge that tons of cattle feed from several Ohio silos had been contaminated by leaching and flaking paint based on the company’s Aroclor 1254 PCB-oil. As a result, milk from three herds was tainted. Kelly estimated up to 50 other silos in the state were painted similarly. "All in all, this could be quite a serious problem, having legal and publicity overtones," the Monsanto doctor warned. "This brings us to a very serious point. When are we going to tell our customers not to use any Aroclor in any paint formulation that contacts food, feed, or water for animals or humans? I think it is very important that this be done.... I think we should make a blanket recommendation against these uses." Despite years of discovery in lawsuits, Monsanto has not produced any evidence that such a warning was issued. [11]

1970 --- Monsanto purchased 50 hogs from Jeremiah Smith, local farmer in Anniston, Alabama, after the hogs grazed on property near the company’s PCB plant. The hogs were shot and buried, not sold for market. Local residents cite this as evidence that the company knew about serious local contamination but didn’t warn the public, who continued to eat PCB contaminated local foods for decades to come. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services, completed a health study in Anniston recently, which found that PCB exposure in the town is a public health hazard. It also suggested that eating local pork, fish and chicken has been a major source of PCB contamination. [5]

1970 -- The first proposal for a total ban on PCBs was made by Representative William Fitz Ryan (D-N.Y.). But partly due to false health reassurances based on Monsanto’s fraudulent IBT tests, the substance stayed on the market until the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. Monsanto officials responded to Ryan by saying they were "well aware of the concern" over PCBs. [11]

Dioxin is the result of PCB's incineration or combustion (per above link)

Excerpt:

Safe baby food? “We analyzed a dozen meat and poultry baby foods made by Gerber, Beech-Nut and Heinz for dioxins, PCBs and related compounds. A baby who ate one jar--just 2.5 ounces-
-of an average meat-based baby food on a given day would consume around 100 times
the EPA’s daily limit of dioxins.” Consumer Reports, June 1998! (It is interesting that the
Grand Rapids Press noted that Novartis owns Gerber Baby Foods.)

Considering the facts outlined above, it can be concluded that, on a worldwide scale, the
adulteration of feed or feed ingredients with melamine and derivatives has been practiced for at
least the past 29 years.

Sep 2008 FAL introduces a Melamine testing service from £80 in light of the recent concerns.

The European Commission is imposing a ban on EU imports of Chinese baby food that contains any traces of milk, while other Chinese food will undergo tests. See BBC News Article. The measures come amid a health scare over milk products contaminated in China with the chemical melamine. It has caused several deaths there. The commission says all imported products from China containing more than 15% milk powder will be tested. Random testing will be done on all such products already on sale in the EU.

From wikipedia.org : Melamine use as non-protein nitrogen (NPN) for cattle was described in a 1958 patent.In 1978, however, a study concluded that melamine "may not be an acceptable non-protein N source for ruminants" because its hydrolysis in cattle is slower and less complete than other nitrogen sources such as cottonseed meal and urea. Melamine is sometimes illegally added to food products in order to increase the apparent protein content. Standard tests such as the Kjelahl and Dumas tests estimate protein levels by measuring the nitrogen content, so they can be misled by adding nitrogen-rich compounds such as melamine. Chronic toxicity: Ingestion of melamine may lead to reproductive damage, or bladder or kidney stones, which can lead to bladder cancer.

It is not just China that uses Melamine in food -

What is Melamine?


**

The above named company not only sold Melamine in animal pellets-
they also incorporated urea formaldehyde in the products....

That combination is deadly- and it is in animal feed for cattle, sheep, goats,
shrimp, fish and more.

Humans are the ultimate consumer.

I honestly thought that the little white fibers that we all find everywhere in our
environment were fungal in nature.

Now- it seems certain that they are Radioactive- or rather have a Radioactive element
and the source could be either the remediation processes in the area of
Radioactive materials or PCB's or both.

To confirm that some scientists and doctors are aware of the Radioactive element
as relates to illness:

Post-radiation syndrome as a NO/ONOO(-) cycle, chronic fatigue syndrome-like disease

Pall ML.

School of Molecular Biosciences, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-4234, USA.

Med Hypotheses. 2008 Jul 28.

Post-radiation syndrome is proposed to be chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or a chronic fatigue syndrome-like illness, initiated by exposure to ionizing radiation.


**

The experts are stating that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- and Post Radiation Syndrome
are one and the same. That is the proposed theory.


We need to look closely at the Symptoms of both to see that is a fact. More on the
symptoms and comparisons later.

First - let's take a look at recent and not so recent events related to Radioactive substances.

Stay the course, Jedi. You are on the right track.....
