Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs: A New Cancer Risk in Your Home
Have the government and General Electric lied to us? The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) mandates the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs, and favors energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
Sounds good—until you realize that CFL bulbs contain mercury, and mercury poses a significant cancer risk. A new study shows that CFL bulbs also emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation—specifically, UVC and UVA rays. In fact, the UV rays are so strong that they can actually burn skin and skin cells. Experts say the radiation could initiate cell death and cause skin cancer in its deadliest form—melanoma.
The REAL History Behind the Polio Vaccine
The science and history of the polio vaccine is written by Dr. Viera Scheibner.
While the polio vaccine is often referred to by those who believe in vaccines as the ultimate example of a vaccine that eradicated a terrible disease that is no longer with us, the science and history of this vaccine tell a vastly different story.
From Dr. Scheibner’s research in this article, we can clearly see certain facts in the history of polio vaccination:
1. There has been more than one type of polio vaccine through its history, due to the fact that earlier versions were found to be ineffective and harmful.
2. The occurrence of polio was trending downward prior to the introduction of polio vaccines.
3. The reported effectiveness accredited to polio vaccines can actually be easily accounted for by data manipulation and not actual decreases of occurrence.
4. The history of the polio vaccine is a history of contamination of the vaccines responsible for the injury and deaths of countless people.
