The Forever Chemicals In 99% Of Us (ewg.org)

I recently saw "Dark Waters", a movie about Dupont's hiding and coverup about the dangers of their PFAS, man-made chemicals used for non-stick teflon and other purposes.

They dumped them in the air and rivers and allowed even pregnant women who worked for them to be exposed to high levels, causing deformities, cancers and deaths of many workers and townsfolk as well as animals FOR DECADES.

Thyroid problems, cholesterol problems, cancers and more occurred because these forever chemicals never leave the body once they enter. The body cannot process them. So it infects systems, eventually causing death.

The government claimed ignorance, saying it didn't know how to regulate new chemicals like these, so they let these chemical companies regulate themselves, meaning nothing was done.

It took lawsuits and clever exposure to get the truth out, yet still, even with forced payouts, these chemicals keep being inserted into products sold to us, like teflon pans, carpet, even clothing.

It is so bad that 99% of all life on this planet has been exposed to these forever chemicals.

There was going to be something done by Congress in the latest budget agreement, but it was removed.

Our water is contaminated. We must filter it. Tap water is NOT filtered from these chemicals. It is especially bad in cities with chemical companies like Detroit and Houston, but really, every city is exposed. U.S. drinking water widely contaminated with forever chemicals.

I have thrown out every teflon pan in my home. I'm removing carpet. I filter my drinking water. I've gotten rid of plastic containers and now use glass, ceramics or metals. It is late in the game for me, but I cannot knowingly continue to let this stuff infect me.

I once asked RD if the Consortium infected us with cancer causing chemicals in more than just cigarettes, in other products, or in our water. He said yes. Please filter all water you drink. I now believe he was referring to these forever chemicals. It provides the cancers the Consortium gathers and uses in their life extension industry.

I asked why cancer was useful? He said because cancers are collections of cells that keep growing and only die if the host dies. They modify them for other primates like the Kayeen, then their cells become resilient too. Cancer cells are also necessary for overwriting.

Please protect yourselves from this cancer harvesting industry by modifying your lifestyles so cancers are less likely, so you can live.

I have some... information. They would like for you to make a switch in your meat consumption.

https://www.wdel.com/news/state/plant-based-meat-market-value-to-expand-at-over-cagr/article_97e3175e-371e-5046-822e-a9011c66d8ee.html

"Plant-based" meat is being pushed... hard. This year alone watch as it creeps up in many U.S. based fast-food and main food chains owned by specific names. As if one didn't notice already...

It is a quagmire of real nasty and I am not talking just the loopholes of putting it on a plate. Not to mention how they get away with even calling it a plant for some cases.

Amazing how people forgot about lab meat yet they are already eating it without even knowing what it actually is. Not like people knew what they were already eating anyways.

DuPont has some investments in such, along with others. If the masses won't make the choice through culture change perhaps they will through their foods.

RD told me that meat that comes from a source that never lived, moved and had blood coarsing through its veins is full of cancer causing things. It may not kill you, but your kids will be sickened, sometimes born with cancers ready to emerge.

The lab meats and pseudo meats are all dangerous. Don't eat them, even if they guilt you by claiming to save the lives of animals.

I see it as taking the first steps into the future, being the generation that tests all the new advancements. For instance, my generation has been around electronics nearly 24 hours a day since birth. I'm curious what the difference between our bodies and ones that had no electronics "back in the day".

Much healthier eating lifestyles in general. Just more people smoking and the foods still had a ton of lard and sugar

EMF is not good for you. You can look into the effects it can have. Keep your phone on airplane/flight mode when you don't need it especially if the reception is bad. Don't make long calls with bad reception. You can keep AP on and just turn on wifi while you're online to cut down on it. Turn off the modem at night, sleep on an air mattress cause the metal inside a mattress I'm pretty sure catches EMFs

"Fluorine is the most chemically reactive element" (citation) In fact, quite a few fluorine compounds have been noted for their tendency to explode violently or dissolve things like acid.

The halogens in general tend to be pretty dangerous and highly reactive but at least some do have biological uses. Like how chlorine contributes to salt. Or how iodine has a role in the thyroid. Bromine and fluorine, however, tend to be the least useful in natural biology. Fluorine's main natural use seems to be in the fluoroapatite of tooth enamel.

Our primary biological use of fluorine tends to be artificial. Adding fluoride to water supplies. Adding non-stick "teflon" to pans. Flourine is also used in pharmaceuticals. What are the impacts of these usages in the long term? Fluorine seems to be well placed to compete with other more useful halogens like iodine and interfere with the proper operation of them.

Overall, I think the fact biology tends to avoid it seems to be a big red flag that we should be rather suspicious of using Fluorine compounds as a general rule of thumb.

The fluoride used to fortify our water supplies is a byproduct of phosphate rock processed for other purposes.  RD told me they looked for another purpose for it and made a deal to add it to community waters. I can't help but wonder why people were so quick to accept the polluting of our drinking water with this. Protecting teeth is not enough reason when other things become calcified too, like the pineal gland.

Many things have been added to our water to modify us. We must be vigilant about what we accept inside of us.

What other purposes in particular does it serve?

[–] garbotalk 2 points

Other than strengthening teeth? None other good that I know of.

[–] wet181 1 points

Exactly. We only drink filtered anyways. You can see a huge difference in tap vs filtered

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 1 points

The taste is good. Weirdly, filtered water tastes sweet.

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 1 points

Weird since our toothpaste already has flouride.

I don’t see how it protects teeth. I thought it was causing kids to have speckled, spotted teeth - so if the excuse used is to protect the teeth, they should find another excuse

Want some Nuka Cola? I promise there is nothing bad in it! ;)

Does it have titanium-44?

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 2 points

No idea. But I heard some versions have Strontium-90 instead.

[–] 5nordehacedod 1 points

Hmm... don't really have a palate for fission. I'm more a fusion man myself. Now where's that Protium at...

MSG is another artificial ingredient added to our foods, especially fast food, that can cause great harm. I have horrible reactions to it, as do many others. It affects the pancreas and the digestive system negatively.

Im gonna be doing a 3-4 day fast probably next week, i think fasting and the autophagy mechanism that activates around day 3 is a healthy 'reset' for the body, maybe even eat any cancer cells or diseased cells.

[–] garbotalk 2 points

You aren't the only one, apparently lol

[–] explorer1357 1 points

What?

[–] garbotalk 1 points

Me too.

[–] Firstladytree 1 points

Someone special is also fasting

[–] Firstladytree 1 points

Should I block your number? People who fast are hangry

Flame retardants and pesticides overtake heavy metals as biggest contributors to IQ loss.

Scientists found a new way to get 'forever chemicals' linked to cancer out of our water. They're in the bloodstreams of 99% of Americans.

Yeah good. Get it in everywhere

And maybe installs some sewers too. (Warning. internet cookies n shit.)

After one application, seven chemicals commonly found in sunscreens can be absorbed into the bloodstream at levels exceeding safety thresholds, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research reports.
