Peripheral neuropathy has been rarely ascribed to DDT, usually to a chronic occupational exposure; one syndrome consists of numbness and paresthesias, hypotonia and asymmetric weakness or paralysis, with slow spontaneous recovery when exposure is terminated

If polio is a man-made epidemic, and vaccines led to the man-made epidemic of autism, then we can conclude that man-made vaccines were never the answer, then or now.

Well Jenny since you brought up tin

I did find that tin has very low toxicity - mostly it is excreted through the feces and urine, but dang - this on going article is making it clear that arsenic is probably working on the gut and the gut microbes - making them into monsters.

I did find that there is signs of toxicity of tin -- yeah; there sure are. Not tumors or cancers though but well here is a small quote from an article on pubmed;

" Many of the organotin compounds affect mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and alter membranes, but the contribution of these biochemical and membrane effects in the cause of intramyelin oedema and neuronal necrosis has not been fully clarified. Widespread degeneration results, especially with trimethyltin. Peripheral neuropathy------"

Yeah oxidative phosphorylation , and peripheral neuropathy is hardly - mild?

No wonder they be a lining all these lids for glass canning jars, and cans we buy in the store.

The FDA has taken measures to reduce the amounts of exposure to tin.

So they coated the cans, and now we are worried about the coating itself.

Wellllll, I am sticking with - all of my trouble surrounds, and began with the incidences of vaccines -We need some real research; if nothing else to find out what we are at least be to tolerate.

Jenny:
You are talking about adding too much organic matter to the water ways -- microbes then overgrow - using up all the oxygen as they metabolize the organic material - leaving no oxygen for the fish or much else except nasty old mud - tube worms. They do holding ponds for all industries now for that reason.

In canning even with glass jars - the lid that go on the top - have special linings too. It increasing shelf life. Lids and cans even though there is not oxygen inside the jar or can - and thus oxidation of the metals are slow (rust) - it still exist, and a lining will stop that. .

"Why did food companies start using lining in cans - as in BPA plastic lining, now being slowing replaced with BPA free plastic lining)."

I can think of two possible reasons:
1) With the plastic lining the canning process can go faster, thereby lowering costs.
2) Quality control is better, as the plastic lining prevents the metal from interacting with ingredients and affecting the flavor.

PS: Ironically opposite, but relevant, to what I said before about "too many factors, and not enough equations" to pin down absolutely the cause of the 1916 "polio epidemic."

Thus, I will say with confidence, there are indeed a clear number of individual actors, and an abundant number CDC/NIH/FDA equations, to come to a clear conclusion that: The U.S. Immunization Schedule is literally destroying our children and their families, and our country.

There's no way I can be humorous about this --- but maybe Kim Stagliano has done it best; thanks, Kim

Dan, after your last installment, I began reading further into the sugar industry - from an environmental standpoint. In places where sugar is being processed, it's a big problem contaminating the waterways. I started reading about the evolution of different efforts to reduce the sugar industry byproducts and clean them all up before they hit the waterways, the repeated promises of the manufacturers to address the issue, etc. The companies that offer the solutions don't get into too much detail about what, exactly, they are trying to filter out, but I bet their solutions would be very enlightening to read about.

Halfway through reading, my thoughts were that if the general public knew how disgusting and bad the environmental damage was from the manufacturing process, nobody would want to give their money to the sugar industry anymore. And the parallels between environmental damage to waterways from sugar and what's being done to prevent/correct that, and damage to the human intestinal and blood systems and what's being suggested to prevent/correct that are simply stunning.

I was intrigued by these definitions:
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the capacity of water to consume oxygen during the decomposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic chemicals

Chemical oxygen demand is related to biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), another standard test for assaying the oxygen-demanding strength of waste waters. However, biochemicaloxygen demand only measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microbial oxidation and is most relevant to waters rich in organic matter.

I was actually wondering if there are parallel COD or BOD tests for human applications, for instance, to see if a person at any given point of time, is capable of surviving a vaccine or not, depending on the results. Or could one do those tests on blood before vaccination and compare them to blood after vaccination, in an experiment, for instance.
I'm sure further clues will be found looking into aerobic vs anaerobic conditions, as well as acidic vs alkaline conditions.

And though it's out in left field, following some of those parallels , I again stumble across tetanus and botulism. C tetani and c. botulinum (c standing for clostridium - c. difficile anyone? Could present day polio be treated with fecal transplants vs prevented by vaccination?). . . toxic germs often heard about in conjunction with metals: tetanus from rusty metal, stepping on nails, cutting umbilical cords. Botulism, of course common in canning, is it more common from cans (aluminum/tin/pewter containing lead) or glass jars? Why did food companies start using lining in cans - as in BPA plastic lining, now being slowing replaced with BPA free plastic lining).
Both tetanus and botulism as medical problems involve various forms of nerve damage/paralysis, including trouble breathing, which might have back in the day also required iron-lung type life support.

Dan, I have been waiting each week for your next story to hit AoA. I find the reading fascinating and enjoy doing research myself, especially on controversial issues that so called science has claimed to put to rest. Have you looked into the epidemic of Acute Flacid Paralysis (AFP) hitting India? From the little bit of info I have been able to dig up there are claims that the majority of cases are coming from the poorest areas that have issues with arsenic. What a coincidence huh?!!!! We come in with a live oral polio vaccine and make sure it is administered to all in India so the WHO can claims India polio free. Then the number of reported AFP cases sky rocket and no one cares because they claim polio has been eradicated from the area. If you are already aware of this issue I apologize, but I couldn't help notice its relevance to the work you are doing with the polio outbreaks in the early 1900's. As they say, history repeats itself!

The maps say it all!

This is a great, thoughtful and well researched series.

Well done.

Sounds like that Mrs. G.W. Franklin got so sick from probably being poisoned from arsenic from her own ice cream then got better from it when she was in the hospital away from it - only to get back to her poisoning and it finally finished her off. That is so sad, but WOW! Pretty well points to poisoning for sure.
