Comments on: FDA Report: Fish Is Good for Brains Despite Mercury Risk http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/12/16/fish-is-good-for-the-brain-despite-mercury-risk-says-controversial-fda-report/ Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Bystander http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/12/16/fish-is-good-for-the-brain-despite-mercury-risk-says-controversial-fda-report/#comment-3823 Bystander Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:42:06 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/12/16/fish-is-good-for-the-brain-despite-mercury-risk-says-controversial-fda-report/#comment-3823 Claire, can you supply a link to this scientists report? So far as I've read, only a small percentage of the people 'afflicted' with Morgellons actually had agrobacteria and all of those who did were successfully treated with Lyme Disease meds. Many others, unafflicted with the agrobacteria, were 'cured' with antipsychotic drugs that contained 'anti itch' agents. Some are even 'cured' just by not being allowed to pick at their lesions. I can kind of see where you want to jump all over nano technology, and I agree that more research should have been done before releasing any kind of nano tech to the general public, but you are still screaming 'drastic actions now' over something that hasn't been fully explained. Btw, to hell with methylmercury in fish.. I loves my sushi. ^_^ Claire, can you supply a link to this scientists report?

In addition to all of the recent articles regarding the growing alarm at this lack of oversight coupled with the proliferation of its use, one scientist has determined that nanotechnology is the cause of an emerging, global affliction called Morgellons Disease. This seminal work has not been espoused by other scientists (GMO foods have been postulated more than any other hypotheses due to the presence of agrobacteria in these victims). However, the nanotech theory is being quoted more in recent months than other theories due to the fact that other theories, including agrobacteria as the causative agent, fail to explain the vast array of symptoms. With so many dynamics underway that threaten the viability of a healthy future (including the impending global depression), the very least we can do is to declare an immediate moratorium on the use of this technology in every application. Has the world become suicidal?

I'm certain the water and air alone of many communities bears toxins (mercury included) which contribute to birth defects and developmental deficiencies. Since corruption spans party lines, "truth" may never surface — but I would like to see a map with industry dollars and historical illness data overlayed.

And even if that weren't the case, overfishing is about to deplete our oceans, and encouraging people to eat more fish "bekuz it'll mek u smrt and the murcury willn't hurt u mor dan it mux u samrt" will just deplete our oceans faster, and then we'd be totally boned because all of a sudden all our IQ enhancing fish will be gone, and then the human race will become dumb.
