Hi everyone,

This is a bit lengthy... But very informative...

POISON FOR PROFIT -- WHAT A BUSINESS PLAN!

 

Toxic induced illnesses are epidemic in the U.S. and are costing

society billions each year. Chronic illnesses linked to toxic

chemicals are, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Gulf War Illness,

Fibromyalgia, Attention Deficit Disorder, chemically-induced

insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes, Cancer, and Autism, to name just

a few. We need to start asking ourselves -- when you have an industry

that makes BOTH the toxic chemicals and the medical drugs and

technology to treat them --do we have a system of " poison for profit "

that is criminal? Americans now spend over a trillion dollars a year

on medical costs.

 

Over 95% of the toxic chemicals in the market today are inadequately

tested for human health, and none are tested for chronic, low level

exposures -- which are how we are exposed to them. Synthetic

chemicals are impregnated into thousands of products we come in

contact with every day such as clothing, furniture, bedding, paper,

food storage containers, building materials, pillow feathers, pillow

covers, inks, mattresses, food, cosmetics, carbonless paper,

fragrances, and tampons, to name just a few. The industry that

produces the over 80,000 synthetic chemicals currently on the market,

spends millions lobbying in Congress to keep the regulatory system to

protect public health -- flawed and weak. Top officials in the

federal government leave the regulatory system to work in top jobs for

the companies they formerly regulated.

 

" When we, our children and our animals suffer symptoms or become ill,

have trouble with our reproductive systems -- we spend many thousands

of dollars on medical imaging, tests, treatments, operations,

hospitals and drugs... a circle of profit that has no equal in the

corporate world. Again this year - the chemical/pharmaceutical

industry was declared the most profitable industry in the world. "

POISON FOR PROFIT --- CHEM/PHARM HAS NO EQUAL - WHAT A BUSINESS PLAN!

 

By Ashley Simmons Hotz

 

May 15, 2002 - The huge transnational companies that produce toxic

chemicals found in pesticides, herbicides and industrial and household

products profit not only from the sale of these products, but also

from the symptoms and chronic illnesses that they can trigger.

 

The vast majority of chemicals found in pesticides and other products,

undergo little or no testing for chronic, low level exposures and for

chronic health effects.

 

The same chemical companies that produce toxic chemicals also produce

prescription drugs, veterinary medicines, a wide array of medical

products and imaging technologies, hold cancer treatment and medical

device patents, and a produce a staggering assortment of

over-the-counter palliatives.

 

Families with toxin induced illnesses often spend large sums for drugs

and medical treatment.

 

This circle of profit is not conspiracy theory, but an easily provable

fact.

 

Below are chem/pharm web sites for the largest companies in the world.

There you can see quickly and clearly that these companies profit from

all sides of the picture.

 

Aventis was launched in December 1999 through the merger of Hoechst AG

of Germany and Rhône-Poulenc SA of France. Main Home Page for

Aventis--go to top right and click on " Aventis Worldwide " to see

medical, agrochemical and pharmaceutical categories of business.

http://www.aventis.com/main/0,1003,EN-XX-100---,FF.html

 

Aventis " crop sciences " include herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and

genetically engineered food.

http://www.cropscience.aventis.com/products/products.htm

 

Aventis Pharma is the pharmaceutical division:

http://www.aventis.com/main/0,1003,EN-XX-24770-37160--,FF.html

 

Monsanto is owned by Pharmacia. The Pharmacia Corporation was created

through the merger of Pharmacia Upjohn with Monsanto Company and its

G.D. Searle unit. Pharmacia employs 59,000 people worldwide and has

research, manufacturing and administrative sales operations in more

than 60 countries.

BASF-fungicides, herbicides, pesticides:

Merck is known widely as a pharmaceutical company

http://www.merck.com/

Merck Research Company; Applications to Register Pesticide:

http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/1996/July/Day-10/pr-796.html

 

Merck produces chemicals and precursors for pesticides and other

neurotoxins.

industries. "

Dow Chemical produces both toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. (Click

on the drop-down list here):

http://www.dow.com/products_services/index.html

Dow Pharmaceuticals:

http://www.dowpharm.com/

 

Dow's pesticide products include the organophosphate pesticide Dursban

(a/k/a Chlorpyrifos/a/k/a RAID a/k/a Lorsban and is found in about 800

other pesticide products). Dursban was to be phased out and banned

from indoor, yard and garden use last year because of what it does to

the developing brain.

 

EPA was going to allow Dursban to " continue to be sold until current

stocks run out " but Dow has been scrambling to get this delayed, and

has been conducting short term clinical trials by feeding Dursban

pills to healthy teenagers in an attempt to get it back on the market:

Dupont Chemical recently sold a pharmaceutical division to Bristol

Myers Squibb. Dupont makes pesticides and drugs:

Here is a list of other chemicals and neurotoxins that they produce:

Do you take Bayer aspirin? Did you know that Bayer also makes other

drugs, pesticides, chemicals? When you get to the Bayer site from the

following URL, go to the " application " search engine and scroll down

to pesticides. At the first URL here, go to the right side and click

on the drop-down list to see the spectrum of products -- for

industrial chemicals and " crop protection " products, to

pharmaceuticals.

Bayer pharmaceuticals:

http://www.pharma.bayer.com/

 

It is interesting to note that the Bayer corporation was originally

the I.G. Farben Company with deep ties to the Nazis during the 1920s

and 30s. I.G. Farben produced Zyklon-B gas which was used in the Nazi

death camps. Other big chem/pharm manufacturers became owners of

pieces of I.G. Farben during the lengthy process of dissolving its

assets after decades of lawsuits and pressures from international

organizations for alleged I.G.Farben Nazi crimes. Here is a quote from

the BBC:

 

" Most of the company's assets were confiscated after World War II and

were transferred to four big German corporations: Bayer, Hoechst, Agfa

and BASF. "

Many of these huge transnationals have merged with each other. For

example, CibaGeigy, Sandoz and other multinational

chemical/pharmaceutical companies merged to become Novartis. Then

Novartis Agribusiness merged with Zeneca (Astra-Zeneca) Agrochemicals

to form Syngenta:

business to Novartis. AstraZeneca. For some listings of its

products. AMVAC Chemical Company is owned by American Vanguard

Corporation, which makes herbicides, pesticides. A major portion of

its revenues comes from selling its specialty chemicals to the

pharmaceutical industry. It is also in the business of " environmental

remediation " and " toxic waste management. " (Like other chem/pharm

companies, American Vanguard profits from pollution that they help

make, and then get paid to clean up).

Did you know that thousands of toxic chemicals are impregnated into

products that we come in intimate contact with every day that have

woefully inadequate testing? Synthetic chemicals are found in

clothing, furniture, bedding, paper, food storage containers, building

materials, pillow feathers, pillow covers, inks, mattresses, food,

cosmetics, carbonless paper, fragrances, and tampons. A wide variety

of fat soluable pesticides are even impregnated into animal feed (fat

soluable means it stores in fat). One of the reasons this is done is

to cut down on flies in the barnyard. The fecal matter becomes so

toxic that it ends up killing the flies! So the questions is -- does

the animal fat cause us to get dosed with low levels of this stuff?

See EPA web site:

http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_99/40cfr186_99.html

 

Most of the public is completely unaware of how pervasive toxic

chemicals are in our homes and offices. If it were just one or two of

the chemicals--the effects might be tolerable. But that is not the

case at all because the relentless cumulative and synergistic effects

of these chemicals is causing great harm to human, animal and

environmental health.

 

When we, our children and our animals suffer symptoms or become ill,

have trouble with our reproductive systems -- we spend many thousands

of dollars on medical imaging, tests, treatments, operations,

hospitals and drugs... a circle of profit that has no equal in the

corporate world. Again this year - the chemical/pharmaceutical

industry was declared the most profitable industry in the world.

 

What a business plan!
