Chemical and biological warfare have been around for a very
long time. But, recent innovations in biotechnology has evolved the
morbid effectiveness of the biological weapons to levels the world
has never seen. In the history-long battle of good and evil,
mankind has always been capable of rationalizing evil actions into
an acceptable form, when it serves his own kind or, their
needs.
We have
entered an age where biological weapons can kill thousands or
millions of people. Biological weapons combine the maximum
destruction capability of nuclear weapons with the easy
availability of chemical weapons. They probably pose the greatest
danger. Some people are killed quickly from the initial attack, as
they attempt to run away. Others die shortly after the initial
attack, suffering inhumane biological degeneration. Those
indirectly exposed, suffer biological degeneration of their body
over an extended period of time. And the genetic alterations can
effect future populations of their offspring for years after the
initial attack.
The chemical
and biological weapon attacks on the Kurdish people of Iraq by
Saddam Hussein's government in 1987-1988 were very intense. 250
population centers were attacked with chemical and biological
weapons. Many thousands died immediately. Of the 4 million
population of Northern Iraq it is believed that 250,000 were
exposed and effected. Some immediately. The rest over time. If you
can stomach watching actual footage of the attacke I have a link to
www.ekurd.nrt in my links to
the right. Better have a cleenex handy.
Due to the
inaccessibility of that region for the years following the attacks,
it has been difficult to assess, study, and treat those effected.
It is important to help these people. Not only is it the right
thing to do but, what we learn in the process will assist us in
preparing for chemical and biological attacks upon ourselves. Most
of our preparations have been towards single agent attacks. Saddam
used coctails which included multiple agents, including ones that
currently have no treatment. Different waves of planes would drop
different arsenals of chemical and biological weapons.
My emphasis
on this site is on the biological weapons which are manufactured
from mold fungi. Many of the mold fungi which are weaponized into
biological weapons are the same species of structural molds that
can be found in our homes and buildings. In their concentrated,
weaponized form they kill quickly. In their original form, their
effect on the human body occurs more subtly. Everyone is being
effected chemically by any mold fungi which enter their body.
Anytime you have ANY chemical element enter the chemistry of your
body there is a cause and effect. The only question is whether it
will have enough of an effect to manifest symptoms recognizable as
being related to mold exposures.
How much the
mold fungi affect the chemistry of your body is dependent on a
number of factors; 1) The particular species of mold fungi.
Different mold fungi affect the human body in different ways. 2)
The concentration level of the various mold fungi involved in the
exposure. 3) The length of the exposure. 4) Your genetic
susceptibility. 24% of us are genetically more susceptible. Since,
the human body has difficulty ridding the mold fungi from the
mucous membranes throughout our bodies, if the incoming mold fungi
exceed the capacity of our cleaning systems, they accumulate and
symptoms start manifesting themselves.
It is
importance to study the weaponized form of the very mold fungi
which we get exposed to in our homes, buildings, and even the
outside air we breath. For what the mycotoxins from mold fungi do
to the human body in their concentrated form, sheds light on what
they subtly do to our bodies over time, as a result of our
environmental exposures.
Just as with
Tobacco and asbestos, there are profit oriented entities very
actively and aggressively trying to confuse and discredit the issue
of mold fungi harming the human body. With time they will once
again be proved wrong. Accountability will be hard to place. And
millions of people will have been harmed wrongly and
unnecessarily.
It is the
mycotoxins produced by the mold fungi that make them attractive as
biological weapons. The most prominently used Mycotoxins are
Aflatoxins and T-2 Trichothecene Mycotoxins.
Aflatoxins
are produced by various species of Aspergillus mold. One of the
species of Aspergillus is the mold I was exposed to in my
apartment, which devastated my health. Aflatoxins commonly
contaminate nuts, maize, grains, tobacco, and many other
commodities during storage. Aspergillus is also a structural mold
found in the building materials of homes and buildings. Mold fungi
manufacture aflatoxins and other mycotoxins to destroy their
microbial competitors. The National Institute of Health listed
aflatoxins as "known to be human carcinogens" in it's
11th Report on Carcinogens. Aflatoxins from mold fungi can
even kill you, as they killed hundreds of people in
Kenya - 2004, and yearly since
then.
According to
Issue No. 2 of the World Health
Organization AFRO Food Safety Newsletter; "Exposure to mycotoxins can produce both acute and chronic
toxicities ranging from death to deleterious effects on the central
nervous, cardiovascular, pulmonary and digestive systems.
Mycotoxins may also be carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and
immunosuppresive. It also has a synergistic effect with the
hepatitis B virus in the etiology of liver cancer and could
interact with HIV/AIDS.
The chronic
incidence of aflatoxin in diets is evident from the presence of
Aflatoxin M1 in human breast milk in Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone
and Sudan as well as in umbilical cord blood samples in Ghana,
Kenya, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Epidemiological studies have shown
a strong correlation between exposure to aflatoxins and primary
liver cancer.
Aflatoxin
exposure in children is also associated with child stunting and
child neurological impairment."
Trichothecenes are produced by mold fungi such as Trichoderma,
Trichthecium, Phomopsis, Myrothecium, Fusarium, and Stachybotrys.
These molds are the most potently powerful on earth. They inhibit
the human body's ability to synthesize protein. This leads to
effects on almost every major system of the human body. And they
inhibit peptides from performing their function of chemically
communicating throughout the human body, drastically degrading our
body's inter-systemic communication network.
The
T-2(Trichothecene Mycotoxins) are very potent and destructive to
the human body. This is due to their cytotoxic activity and their
immunosuppressive effect. This leaves the person more vulnerable to
infectious microbes. They also cause gastrointestinal,
dermatological, and neurological problems. When used in their
weaponized form they appear as oily droplets resembling 'Yellow
Rain'. Symptoms appear in 2-4 hours.
According to
ARET regarding T-2 Mycotoxin
exposure: "Symptoms - The onset of
symptoms may vary from 1 to 12 hours. Symptoms include blisters,
necrosis of tissues, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hemorrhage, and
death. Mechanism - Multiple effects, including inhibition of
DNA,RNA, and protein synthesis in several cellular systems,
inhibition of mitochrondrial functions, effects on cell division,
effects on normal cell shape, and hemolysis of erythrocytes. T-2 is
also thought to cause hemolysis through uptake in lipid membranes
as a cholesterol analogue, where it causes subsequent lipid
peroxidation and alteration of the membrane structure."
The
Stachbotrys mold grows well on wet building materials such as wood
fiber boards, ceiling tiles, and gypsum sheetrock used for walls in
homes and other buildings. Stachybotrys has been connected to some
of the worse cases of mold related illnesses. It is probably the
most virulent of the structural molds found in homes and other
buildings. It has been blamed in cases of pulmonary bleeding in
infants.
The bottom
line is that we accumulate mold fungi in our bodies faster than our
bodies are able to clean them from our systems, even under normal
circumstances. If we live in an environment, indoor or outdoor,
where the levels of mold fungi are higher than normal, they will
accumulate in our bodies that much faster. Inside a home or
building with a mold problem, the accumulation of molds in our
bodies accellerates at a rate corresponding to the qualitative
strength(type of mold), the quantitative strength(concentration
levels), the duration of your exposure, and the level of previously
accumulated molds in your body.
The
weaponized form of these molds give us an end-case picture of what
these molds subtly can do to our bodies over a longer period of
time. Like little gremlins in the works. They are so subtle that
their effects are given various disease names, that describe the
combination of symptoms manifested in that particular part of the
body. But, underneath all the cause and effects which cloud the
issue, you will find mold fungi doing the job Mother Nature
assigned to them from the beginning of time; To decompose,
degenerate, and break down all biological material to their basic
elements, and return them to Mother Earth, from which they came.
Dust to Dust. A significant underlying causation of degeneration in
the human body.
When you examine my
section called 'Symptoms I Experienced', you will see that I
personally experienced many of the health ramifications which
result from an indirect exposure to Mycotoxic Biological Weapons.
Instead of receiving my exposure from an intense, concentrated and
weaponized exposure, over a short period of time, I received my
exposure over a two year period in a much more subtle manner. The
end result can have striking similarities.
