" Through a novel pairing of epidemiology and toxicity screening researchers were able to identify 10 pesticides that were directly toxic to dopaminergic neurons.
The neurons play a key role in voluntary movement, and the death of these neurons is a hallmark of Parkinson's."
"Further, the researchers found that co-exposure of pesticides that are typically used in combinations in cotton farming were more toxic."
"The researchers were able to determine long-term exposure for each person and then, using what they labeled a pesticide-wide association analysis,
tested each pesticide individually for association with Parkinson's.
From this untargeted screen, researchers identified 53 pesticides that appeared to be implicated in Parkinson's."
"The 10 pesticides identified as directly toxic to these neurons included:
four insecticides (dicofol, endosulfan, naled, propargite),
three herbicides (diquat, endothall, trifluralin), and
three fungicides (copper sulfate [basic and pentahydrate] and folpet).
Most of the pesticides are still in use today in the United States."
"Aside from their toxicity in dopaminergic neurons, there is little that unifies these pesticides.
They have a range of use types, are structurally distinct,
and do not share a prior toxicity classification."
I’m going to post this on the Natural Health thread, great info. I got poisoned by a huge dose of diazanon by a very bad neighbor years ago and it cause a miscarriage, and life long chronic conditions that I suffer from to this day. The pesticide diazanon is now not sold to consumers, but farmers use it, and it is an ingredient is mixtures sold to consumers.
There are many ways to get rid of bad bugs than highly toxic pesticides, many of which are neurotoxic.
There’s no doubt in my Military Mind that ‘science’ has been poisoning us and out food sources for decades.
And will continue unabated. :(
Educate yourself, arm yourself, prepare yourself, grow your own if you can. Move to the hills!
