The movements of POP on EarthAfter the collapse of the twin towers, a detoxication protocol became increasingly popular and even attracted public funding, despite of the fact that it was associated with Tom Cruise's religious group. In this "Purification Rundown", there is absolutely nothing which has to do with this specific "Church" — exercise, vitamin B3 supplementation and long stays in a sauna are really not that controversial as detoxication treatments. (All are non-patentable, however, which is a serious threat to scientific progress.)
Contrary to propaganda (
Wikipedia), the results obtained following the detoxification of people who were exposed to the catastrophe were not only "subjective" / placebo effects (i.e. "I am an uneducated, desperate firefighter who will believe anything to get over my trauma") — these results were biochemically proven. Those people who had been exposed to the toxic fumes at so-called Ground Zero, and who had developped all kinds of ills, including neurological, felt better and were less intoxicated after the protocol. 1
What toxins made them sick?
Dioxin, beautiful and deadly
All kinds of persistent organic pollutants - or 'POPs' for short. This broad class of chemicals which are known to accumulate in the body fat of all animal species, including humans, and which persist everywhere in the environment, travelling all over the globe in animals and in air and water.
These are the chemicals which make us fat when the fat we eat actually makes us fat.
We demonstrate for the first time a causal relationship between POPs and insulin resistance in rats. In vivo, chronic exposure to low doses of POPs commonly found in food chains induced severe impairment of whole-body insulin action and contributed to the development of abdominal obesity and hepatosteatosis. ... These data provide compelling evidence that exposure to POPs increases the risk of developing insulin resistance and metabolic disorders
Although rats chronically fed the High-Fat Chow (HFC) diet for 28 days were exposed to a relatively high intake of organic pollutants, the concentrations of PCDDs/PCDFs and indicator PCBs in adipose tissue of these animals did not exceed those observed in Northern Europeans 40–50 years of age, thereby indicating that doses of POP exposure sufficient to induce detrimental health effects were not excessive.
... although beneficial, the presence of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in crude salmon oil (in the HFC diet) could not counteract the deleterious metabolic effects induced by POP exposure.
These are the chemicals which make us dumb as well, when we think that this fish will help our brains:
In this study, serum concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) (two POPs) were positively associated with the prevalence of Learning Disorders or Attention Deficit Disorder among children aged 12–15 years. 3
Useful to note, one reason why it is hard to obtain evidence in this field of research — apart from the fact that those findings are threats to the industry — is that the amount of blood required to find those POPs is often too high for children. POPs acts at such minute concentrations that, in order to obtain concentrations that are detectable with our instruments, we must draw lots of blood. This means that the reality of the intoxication of most of humanity can easily be inferred, but the practical limitations (added to the financial ones) makes the demonstration more difficult.
Easier, more profitable, is to track and trade carbon footprints.
