Since 1997, his town of Rancho Cordova CA has lost 20 municipal water wells to rocket fuel contamination.<BR/><BR/>In 1997-1999 Larry served as a volunteer community representative on the California Dept. of Health Services's Aerojet Superfund Site Health Assessment Team in Rancho Cordova, California. Currently he performs a similar function for the US EPA-sponsored Community Advisory Group for Aerojet Superfund Site Issues. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your informative comment Larry. <BR/>I would love for you to please sign on as a follower.<BR/><BR/>This is no joke people... www.perchlorate.orgconstant commenthttp://consciouschoiceblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963646421033182772.post-52232598520854736092009-04-03T17:41:00.000-04:002009-04-03T17:41:00.000-04:00At higher doses perchlorate and iodide SHARE immun...At higher doses perchlorate and iodide SHARE immunotoxic effects because they are chaotropic (see iododerma, bromoderma, bromism), so increasing the dose of iodide in the infant formula is not likely to be the solution. Chaotropic anions keep proteins from coagulating and water from freezing -- thus the liquid water on Mars stays liquid at very cold temperatures because it contains large amounts of perchlorate. I personally think industrial exposures to perchlorate keep important parts of the innate immune system (pentraxin 3, defensins) from coagulating with pathogens, and thereby increase the incidence of CD34+ tumors (thyroid, connective tissue) due to mutation-promoting viruses (e.g. high incidence of malignant nerve sheath tumors around the Whittaker Bermite rocket plant in Santa Clarita CA.) If pendrin is the primary means of excreting perchlorate through the urine, then premature infants and babies with diarrhea will retain perchlorate.<BR/>Perchlorate in drinking water, and perchlorate-rich items like opuntia cactus (nopales) and chew tobacco, need to be regulated. http://www.perchlorate.orgLarry Laddhttp://www.perchlorate.orgnoreply@blogger.com
