This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Pamela J. Owens newest book, Poisoned! What You Dont Know About Heavy Metals Is Killing You!, is a must read for all. The health consequences from heavy metal toxicity are occurring at epidemic rates. The main threats to human health from heavy metals are associated with exposure to lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic and other less common metals. These metals have been extensively studied and their effects on human health thoroughly reviewed by international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO). Unknown to many, the effects of multiple heavy metal exposure, or synergistic effects are rarely evaluated by primary physicians. Scientists and researchers have joined forces and are letting the medical community know that heavy metals have serious and far-reaching consequences. Pervasive heavy metals have been found to disrupt the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. As more people are exposed to these toxicants there continues to be increases in infertility, certain cancers, developmental delays, asthma, chemical sensitivities, and hormonal imbalances. Heavy metals have been implicated in causing and exacerbating many of these conditions. Every day millions of people are unknowingly exposed to heavy metals and unfortunately our bodies cannot metabolize and clear all of them. Chemicals not metabolized are stored in the fat cells throughout our bodies, where they continue to accumulate. As these chemicals build up they alter our metabolism, cause enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, create hormonal imbalances, damage brain chemistry and can cause cancer. Dr. Owens new book is a detailed blueprint helping the patient and forward thinking healthcare professionals identify the specific heavy metal toxic burden and determine an effective and optimal treatment to decrease the toxic load.

Book excerpt: In 2011, an ER physician predicted "a slow and miserable death" for my son within hearing range of the hospital staff. Moments later she returned to his bedside and whispered, "Although I am Chinese I am a western educated doctor, so I will deny ever saying this. Get out of western medicine. This course of treatment is going to kill you. You must find an eastern trained practitioner who can help you get the heavy metal poisons out of you." Turning to go, she said, "I will get your discharge paperwork. There is nothing more we can do for you here." As I wheeled my dying thirty-four-year-old son through the emergency room doors, a young nurse came up behind us and furtively handed my son a folded piece of paper. She said, "Don't open this until you are outside. Please don't get me fired."Finally, in 2014 after saving his life through non-traditional treatments, nutritional supplements, life style changes and whole foods, I began to do my research to find out where a person can come in contact with so many metals. What I discovered is stunning.With the death clock ticking, this medical mystery took over my entire life while it consumed my son with riveting pain. At the beginning, doctor after doctor started with the same promise: "I will make you well. Do everything I say. Take all my prescriptions." After six months, each of them diagnosed depression with anxiety disorder causing psychotic pain. They suggested mental help. When we left the western medical system, my son was taking more than fifteen different pharmaceutical drugs two to three times a day.I asked, "What came first, the painful symptoms, or the anxiety and depression? He was never like this before two long years of painful symptoms and debilitating exhaustion."With twenty-six heavy metals in his body, my son's liver was dying and his adrenal glands had stopped functioning. His intestines had microscopic holes in them and he suffered from leaky gut syndrome. Equally stunning, as my son detoxified and removed the toxins from his body, some lifelong problems - such as auditory processing disability - have vanished. This is our story.
Download or read book Impact of Heavy Metals on the Environment written by Jean-Pierre Vernet and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighted in this compilation of papers is the role and importance of heavy metals in the environment. It provides up-to-date information in a field of active research and progress, where the focus is on effects and interactions between the environment and organisms, as well as contaminant dynamics. Several papers address the impact of heavy metals on our health. The influence of metals on plants is described in an exhaustive study on lichens, which have been widely used as biomonitors for environmental contamination by heavy metals. Metals are also accumulated by animals, as seen in a chapter which focusses on sediment/benthic organism interactions and biomonitoring in fish. Soil interactions are discussed, as well as regional studies of freshwater sediments and the marine environment. The final part of the book addresses a crucial problem: the management of stabilized municipal waste sludges. As a result, the most important and significant recent trends are included, emphasizing interactions with and impacts of heavy metals on humans, animals, plants and soils.
Download or read book Chronic Heavy Metal Poisoning Vs Your Health written by David Maloney and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What part of the words 'chronic heavy metal poisoning' do you not understand? Dr. Maloney explains with today's environment and scientific research how some people are poisoned before birth, and gradually add to this body burden (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and 19 other poisonous heavy metals) throughout their lives until sickness and disease states decide the outcome. Global warming is now a major concern; some global poisoning can mean long term suffering and an untimely death. Follow Dr. Maloney and his RN wife Mary along the road to better health, realizing the majority of U.S. health care providers are not trained in chronic heavy metal poisoning. Poisonous examples are widespread. -" Body Burden: The Pollution New Borns'" published in 2005 describes pollution in newborns contributed by their mothers with almost 300 chemicals identified with 180 possibly causing cancer in humans and animals, and over 200 can cause toxic birth defects and development problems. - Mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup or "Fructose" now identified in 2009 by researchers detecting various levels of mercury in 17 out of 55 (1/3) commonly used food items. - Flint Michigan Water Problem of 2016: Lead leached from water pipes and insufficient treatment expose over 100,000 residents to increased lead levels. The problem remains unsolved officially as of January 2019. - An investigation reported many children poisoned by lead on U.S. army bases. Lead tainted housing and water contamination are identified at Fort Polk in Louisiana, Fort Riley in Kansas, and Fort Hood and Fort Bliss in Texas. Our soldiers fight and die on the battlefields of the world, leaving their love ones exposed to disease and disabilities at home. - Toxic heavy metals in baby food are more widespread than thought with a 2019 study pointing out about 95% of baby foods tested contained some toxic heavy metals, and about 25% contained all four poisonous heavy metals tested. If the EPA is busy working on our environmental problems, where is the FDA in following our food supply? Who is testing our bodies for chronicpoisonous/toxin contamination? What diseases are implicated in the poisonous process? Are medical personnel adequately trained to meet these challenges? These questions are answered by Dr. Maloney's presentation of fetal exposure to numerous poisons, childhood growth and development problems, and current disease states implicated in our tainted environment. Perhaps some global poisoning concerns should parallel global warming thoughts. - Dr. David W. Maloney, PharmD, RPh. (Lt. Colonel, Biomedical Sciences Corps, USAF, Ret.)
Download or read book The Elements of Murder written by John Emsley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about elements that kill. Mercury, arsenic, antimony, lead, and thallium can be lethal, as many a poisoner knew too well. Emsley explores the gruesome history of these elements and those who have succumbed to them in a fascinating narrative that weaves together stories of true crime, enduring historical mysteries, tragic accidents, and the science behind it all. The colourful cast includes ancient alchemists, kings, leaders, a pope, several great musicians, and amotley crew of murderers. Among the intriguing accounts is that of the 17th century poet Sir Thomas Overbury, who survived four attempts to poison him with mercury but died when given the poison in enema form - under whose direction remains uncertain. Here, too, is detailed the celebrated case of FlorenceMaybrick, convicted of poisoning her violent husband James with arsenic, but widely believed at the time to be innocent. The question of her guilt is still disputed.Threaded through the book alongside the history is the growing understanding of chemistry, and the effects of different chemical substances on the human body. Thousands suffered the ill effects of poisonous vapours from mercury, lead, and arsenic before the dangers were realized. Hatters went mad because of mercury poisoning, and hundreds of young girls working in factories manufacturing wallpaper in the 19th century were poisoned by the arsenic-based green pigments used for the leaves of thepopular floral designs. Even in the middle of the 20th century, accidental mercury poisoning caused many deaths in Minamata Bay, while leaded petrol poisoned the whole planet, and arsenic still continues to poison millions is Asia.Through vividly told stories of innocent blunders, industrial accidents, poisoners of various hues - cold, cunning, desperate - and deaths that remain a mystery, Emsley here uncovers the dark side of the Periodic Table.
Download or read book Trace Metals and Infectious Diseases written by Jerome O. Nriagu and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts explore the influence of trace metals on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Many parts of the world in which common infectious diseases are endemic also have the highest prevalence of trace metal deficiencies or rising rates of trace metal pollution. Infectious diseases can increase human susceptibility to adverse effects of metal exposure (at suboptimal or toxic levels), and metal excess or deficiency can increase the incidence or severity of infectious diseases. The co-clustering of major infectious diseases with trace metal deficiency or toxicity has created a complex web of interactions with serious but poorly understood health repercussions, yet has been largely overlooked in animal and human studies. This book focuses on the distribution, trafficking, fate, and effects of trace metals in biological systems. Its goal is to enhance our understanding of the relationships between homeostatic mechanisms of trace metals and the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Drawing on expertise from a range of fields, the book offers a comprehensive review of current knowledge on vertebrate metal-withholding mechanisms and the strategies employed by different microbes to avoid starvation (or poisoning). Chapters summarize current, state-of-the-art techniques for investigating pathogen-metal interactions and highlight open question to guide future research. The book makes clear that improving knowledge in this area will be instrumental to the development of novel therapeutic measures against infectious diseases. Contributors M.

Download or read book Heavy Metals and Health written by Lance Castillo and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy metals are persistent in the environment and their elevated emission during longer periods of time can cause contamination of the environment. They are emitted in all environmental media, but can also be easily transported between them due to the atmospheric deposition, water runoff, etc., and thus accumulate in the environment or penetrate the food chains. The main routes of human exposure to heavy metals are through ingestion, inhalation or via dermal contact. Hence, there is a need for better understanding of absorption, distribution and deposition of heavy metals in the human body. This information is of a crucial importance for the evaluation of heavy metal potential health implications. In this book, Chapter One provides an overview of the heavy metal health hazards, presented as a consequence of heavy metal pollution, their availability and cycling between different media in the environment. Chapter Two comprehensively discusses the roles and harmful effects of heavy metals on human health, as well as the sources and techniques of removing heavy metals from the environment. Chapter Three explores the mechanisms of mercury cardiovascular toxicity, with a particular emphasis on its effects toward endothelial cells. Chapter Four focuses on the effects of exposure to soil contaminated by metals. Chapter Five examines antimicrobial functionalized textiles. Chapter Six discusses thallium poisoning. Chapter Seven provides a review of heavy metal pollution, human exposure and public health implications in Nigeria.

Book excerpt: Equal parts true crime, twentieth-century history, and science thriller, The Poisoner's Handbook is "a vicious, page-turning story that reads more like Raymond Chandler than Madame Curie." —The New York Observer “The Poisoner’s Handbook breathes deadly life into the Roaring Twenties.” —Financial Times “Reads like science fiction, complete with suspense, mystery and foolhardy guys in lab coats tipping test tubes of mysterious chemicals into their own mouths.” —NPR: What We're Reading A fascinating Jazz Age tale of chemistry and detection, poison and murder, The Poisoner's Handbook is a page-turning account of a forgotten era. In early twentieth-century New York, poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime. Science had no place in the Tammany Hall-controlled coroner's office, and corruption ran rampant. However, with the appointment of chief medical examiner Charles Norris in 1918, the poison game changed forever. Together with toxicologist Alexander Gettler, the duo set the justice system on fire with their trailblazing scientific detective work, triumphing over seemingly unbeatable odds to become the pioneers of forensic chemistry and the gatekeepers of justice. In 2014, PBS's AMERICAN EXPERIENCE released a film based on The Poisoner's Handbook.

Download or read book Bitten by Witch Fever written by Lucinda Hawksley and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking story of a deadly trend in Victorian wallpaper design, illustrated by beautiful and previously unseen arsenic-riddled designs from the British National Archives In Germany, in 1814, Wilhelm Sattler created an extremely toxic arsenic and verdigris compound pigment, Schweinfurt green–known also as Paris, Vienna, or emerald green–which became an instant favorite amongst designers and manufacturers the world over, thanks to its versatility in creating enduring yellows, vivid greens, and brilliant blues. Most insidiously, the arsenic-laced pigment made its way into intricately patterned, brightly colored wallpapers and from there, as they became increasingly in vogue, into the Victorian home. As its use became widespread, commercial arsenic mines increased production to meet the near-insatiable demand. Not least of which was the UK’s largest mining plant, DGC whose owner was William Morris, originator of the British Arts and Crafts movement and arguably the finest wallpaper designer of his generation. Bitten by Witch Fever (Morris’s own phrase to dismiss arsenic- and- wall-paper-related public health concerns in 1885) tells this fatal story of Victorian home décor, building upon new research conducted especially for this book by the British National Archive, on their own samples. Spliced between the sections of text are stunning facsimiles of the wallpapers themselves.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book The inspiration for PBS's AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film The Poison Squad. From Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times-bestselling author Deborah Blum, the dramatic true story of how food was made safe in the United States and the heroes, led by the inimitable Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, who fought for change By the end of nineteenth century, food was dangerous. Lethal, even. "Milk" might contain formaldehyde, most often used to embalm corpses. Decaying meat was preserved with both salicylic acid, a pharmaceutical chemical, and borax, a compound first identified as a cleaning product. This was not by accident; food manufacturers had rushed to embrace the rise of industrial chemistry, and were knowingly selling harmful products. Unchecked by government regulation, basic safety, or even labelling requirements, they put profit before the health of their customers. By some estimates, in New York City alone, thousands of children were killed by "embalmed milk" every year. Citizens--activists, journalists, scientists, and women's groups--began agitating for change. But even as protective measures were enacted in Europe, American corporations blocked even modest regulations. Then, in 1883, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, a chemistry professor from Purdue University, was named chief chemist of the agriculture department, and the agency began methodically investigating food and drink fraud, even conducting shocking human tests on groups of young men who came to be known as, "The Poison Squad." Over the next thirty years, a titanic struggle took place, with the courageous and fascinating Dr. Wiley campaigning indefatigably for food safety and consumer protection. Together with a gallant cast, including the muckraking reporter Upton Sinclair, whose fiction revealed the horrific truth about the Chicago stockyards; Fannie Farmer, then the most famous cookbook author in the country; and Henry J. Heinz, one of the few food producers who actively advocated for pure food, Dr. Wiley changed history. When the landmark 1906 Food and Drug Act was finally passed, it was known across the land, as "Dr. Wiley's Law." Blum brings to life this timeless and hugely satisfying "David and Goliath" tale with righteous verve and style, driving home the moral imperative of confronting corporate greed and government corruption with a bracing clarity, which speaks resoundingly to the enormous social and political challenges we face today.
