Researchers find association between household chemicals and childhood leukemia

Researchers found higher levels of common household pesticides in the urine of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, according to a report published in the August issue of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the white blood cells – the infection fighters – and develops most frequently in children between the ages of three and seven. It is the most common type of leukemia in children under age 15, according to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. obtained urine samples from 41 children with ALL and their mothers in the Washington area and compared them with 41 pairs of healthy children and mothers. The children with ALL and their mothers had higher concentrations of diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP), two pesticides used in household chemicals.

chemicals in some pesticides can mimic Estrogen

More women develop breast cancer than men — about 100 cases in females for every one in a man. Women’s bodies make more estrogen than men’s. Therefore, the conventional wisdom has been that estrogen causes breast cancer.

Many researchers including John R. Lee, M.D (Leading pioneer in natural progesterone therapy), Dr. Jesse Hanley and Dr. Peter Eckhart are coming to the conclusion that the over abundance of estrogen and estrogen like substances (xenoestrogens or foreign estrogens) are responsible for a vast number of today's health problems.

The researchers added estrogen to an experimental lake at a level commonly found in the treated wastewater from cities with about 200,000 people. The researchers discovered that one consequence is that exposed male fish become feminized, producing a protein normally found in females. Chronic exposure to estrogen led to the near extinction of the lake's fathead minnow population, as well as significant declines in larger fish, such as pearl dace and lake trout."

.....if you live in a good sized city chances are the water you drink has been pissed out by at least 10 people and recycled... maybe 100's

In 1961, one in 20 women got breast cancer. In 1994, one in eight got it. In 2000, it was one in five. In 2000, 41,200 American women and 400 men are expected to die from breast cancer. In 1980, 560,000 women died of breast cancer worldwide. This figure is expected to double by the year 2000. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women 40 to 55.

And stop sending me fucking advertisements for dietary supplements and shit from right-wing nutbag websites:

As we have repeated a number of times in our coverage of Ted Kennedy's illness and then death, we do not judge his relationship with God. No one can do that. But his public record is another thing. We can and must judge that. He profoundly helped to advance the Culture of Death and other developments harmful to life, family and faith in America.

Stop posting links to this shit. Stop it.
