Arrow not off topic -Facts about Heart Disease...

Facts about Heart Disease

Acute and chronic pesticide exposure, such as to cholinesterase inhibitors used on citrus fruits, will overdrive the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is responsible for relaying the nervous impulses across the nerve channel junctions to the muscles, glands, behavioral centers, etc. Such a poisoning incident will put the heart muscle into varying degrees of overdrive, culminating in a paralysis scenario at worst....Could not the residues of these and other pollutants detectable in most types of our daily foodstuffs and water supplies be insidiously accountable for a slice of the increased rate of coronary disease surfacing in the Western word?

In a major rice growing area of the Philippines, Dr. Loevinsohn from Imperial College, London, found that the onset of a massive epidemic of stroke and heart disease corresponded with the advent of the green agrarian revolution in 1970, when pesticide use rose by nearly 250% in the area. Dr. Loevinsohn believes that the full scale of deaths, largely confined to the farmworker sector of the population and to the month of August which is the height of the spray season, has been hidden by the local doctors who misattributed these cardiac deaths to deaths of natural degeneration.

Default thank you tena

Thanks tena,

i think i must have been getting awful close to that worst case scenario - paralysis. Complete weakness; i wondered if i should go to the hospital -chest feeling so tight and my throat felt constricted - scary stuff and the medical community does not know this.
