Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13)

Aluminum is known to "potentiate" the effects (and also a "trigger") of Alzheimers, too... My grandfather was a brilliant engineer and machinist by trade... Watching him die from that horrible disease was one of the roughest times of my life.
@thornback5641 4 ай бұрын
In fairness Aluminum is the most abundant Metallic element and the 3rd most abundant element of Earth (after oxygen and silicon). Its absolutely in the air naturally(obviously industrial/modern era has made it worse). But basically Aluminum can be measured in the urine, feces, and blood of basically every human. The problem is more when there is a build up due to medicine or treatments(dialysis is a major one). Alzheimer MAY have a connection to high levels of Aluminum but its inconclusive. Also what is deemed as high is quite far beyond your everyday exposure. The biggest factor in Alzheimers in current science to my knowledge is actually protein build up in the brain and forms plaque- its a different type but its similar in damage to plaque in a heart- once its developed at best we can slow it down we cant really reverse it.
@callumthomas872 4 ай бұрын
Aluminium poisoning is a very real thing! You don't really get it anymore though, I have a feeling they changed out one of the compounds in the aluminium used in factories. Or something like that anyway, either way that's the case in the UK, I used to run mills and lathes and it was a problem with old school machinists. Looks like health and safety is non existent in this town, absolutely wild how this has gone on.

Just moved out. I lived right on the Parish line. Cornerstone Chemical right behind me. The toxic fumes are so bad now, within the last few years, new levels. The mask it with dryer sheet fragrance, and at late night. Its dizzying and suffocating. If you live in the area, pay attention to everything you touch, smell your hands, and they will be coated with a dryer sheet smell. Its hard for people to point out, because a lot of people use dryer sheets all ready. Dryer sheets are like the 3rd most toxic household item also, just for reference. I do not use them, and senses are keen. It felt like we we're getting cancer. In the 4 years we lived there my wife, myself, and 2 of our pets had to go to the hospital for wierd random things we've never had happen. Ever since we moved, we could feel our bodies detoxifying. It took a few months to feel normal, or not fully realiz8ng how unhealthy we were starting to feel. We're pretty crunchy in our family and live a healthy lifestyle. So that is the only thing we can rationalize after it all.

This is important. Thank you for making this. I was born right on Coldwater Creek in Missouri, the oldest cancer cluster area in the US. I PLAYED in the creek in the 70s. It still has not been cleaned up and it has been contaminated since the 50's. Close by is also Castlewood and they buried dioxin there. As a teen I swam in that water too, the Meremec river and then there was a settlement. Everyone in that poor area got new cars and handmade signs were put up telling you that you have just driven through some odd miles of dioxin waste dump. I have had 2 minor scrapes with cancer, missing some body parts now but I am currently cancer free that I know of....for now, not that I can afford healthcare in America and would even know necessarily. Project Manhatten really made a a mess of this country. People should know about it.

Here in Iceland we have 3 big aluminium factories. Factories, who turn boxite into aluminium. A process whio need quite lot of electricity. By all those factories have "fallout zone" where it is not aloud to have any livestock or have permanently residents. I have a file about, when they had plans to build an aluminum smelter in the fjord, Eyjafjörður, North Iceland, in a area with quite lot of farms. Fallout zone from that factory would have had bad effect for those farms. Still, they had the propaganda for building that factory, to suppliy work for the inhabitants. Luckily, their plans did not worked out. Aluminum factory was built in another par of Iceland. We have pollution enough, when he wind is still in that fjord. Has anyone asked, who get he main profit from those factories ? Does it stay inside your country or does some firm abroad get the main profit ?

After finding out, somebody told somebody and all of a sudden there are people on her property, telling her that she needed to leave. they forced her family to move somewhere else, and frightened her to tell her not to tell nobody. The companies in the refineries around Louisiana, Beaumont, vidor, orange, Houston do not care about the safety of people and there’s a lot of areas in Texas that is radioactive that people don’t even know about.
