This is\u00a0\u00a0 what would be called white radiation, this is many wavelengths merging and very much brighter than that we would actually use but it makes the pint that the air is actually glowing with some mooch radiation here. This is a very bright beam of x-rays and we can use it\u00a0\u00a0 in many ways. It has applications in physical, chemistry, biology, environmental science, geology, material science. You can put any label around this, this is a picture of what a singatron might look like. basically you could put\u00a0 nay label around here, any scientific field\u00a0 and you will find examples where\u00a0 signatory radiation has benefited us\u00a0 as we know a lot more about some aspects\u00a0 of it than we would\u00a0 have done without it . It\u2019s a very important scientific tool but why x-rays? This shows a length <inaudible> going metres along here. I didn\u2019t have the energy to convert it to inches for you but I suppose mist of you know how big a metre is. This is a 10 the of a metre, this is a 100th of a metre, 1000th, 10 000th, 1 000 000th, 1 000 000 000th and so on. The property that makes x-rays useful to us that they have a wave length in the length scale of molecules in the molecular range. There are able to probe things in the distance range that we are interested in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How do we do this? Let\u2019s contrast it with x conventional analysis. lest\u00a0 say there is a metal in a plan , this plan for\u00a0 example and we think it\u2019s this type of a metal it doesn\u2019t matter what kind of metal it is , this is actually a metal that we subsequently identified in this\u00a0 very plant but\u00a0 let\u2019s say we want to\u00a0 look at it with\u00a0 conventional chemical\u00a0 analysis. Basically this involves chopping up the l plant, you can see there\u2019s supposed to be little bit of the plant reflecting here floating in this clinical flask, chopping it up and usually dissolving it in something like acid. it would vary depending on what you’re analysing and essentially the molecule information can be wholly or\u00a0 partly lost with conventional analysis\u00a0 so you end up not knowing about the molecule but with the x-ray techniques given to us from signatory radiation we have a direct probe. We can look directly in what\u2019s in\u00a0\u00a0 the plant, in fact you can take the plant away afterwards and let it grow it doesn\u2019t have to be destructive at all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
this is a direct probe, the molecular\u00a0 form is\u00a0 intact , we’ll know what\u2019s in it , we don\u2019t hurt this , we don\u2019t dissolve it , we don\u2019t change the molecular form\u00a0 in any way .it\u2019s what we call an institute\u00a0 probe. It\u2019s a very neat way of understanding there are uncomplicated systems like tissues of plants.\u00a0 Here\u2019s mercury I showed you a picture of someone doing something unwise which was a modern picture and this something even more unwise, this is liquid mercury here. I did\u00a0 have a\u00a0 picture of a girl in bathing\u00a0 suit taking a\u00a0 bath in a bath of mercury , I\u2019ve lost that I couldn\u2019t show you that\u00a0 today and that was from the 1950s when people didn\u2019t really appreciate the dangers .<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercury is a very toxic elements but not in all its forms.\u00a0 If you remember that point that\u2019s an important point.\u00a0 unfortunately there are many tragic human cause problems that we can find including <inaudible> in Japan where dumping of industrial waste into the bay by Chico corporation caused large scale poising of villages in the nearby village of Minimarra and mercury poisoning is ever since or certain types of mercury poisoning has long been known buy the minimarra disease, this is in the 1950s. later on in the\u00a0 1970s\u00a0 in Iraq there\u00a0 was an incident ethyl mercury chloride\u00a0 dusted\u00a0 wheat which\u00a0\u00a0 was meant for seed stick for\u00a0 planting in fields and\u00a0 it was dusted with this stuff\u00a0 to prevent fungi and pest form feeing on the wheat , it was used\u00a0 to bake break instead. to was painted bright orange\u00a0 and it had a skull and cross bones painted on the sack but that\u00a0 didn\u2019t mean anything in this\u00a0 Iraq culture\u00a0 so people used it\u00a0 to make\u00a0 bread and nearly 4000 people died\u00a0 in the 1970s and as you’ll hear later it was a rather unpleasant death.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the amazon\u00a0 basin right now, gold mining\u00a0 operations giving rise to\u00a0 a lot of industrial effluent\u00a0 plus\u00a0\u00a0 leeching due to forestation are causing wide spread mercury posing of the\u00a0 Amazonian\u00a0 natives . I could find lots more examples.\u00a0 There are many examples where mercury has been a really big problem and unfortunately we know a lot of its toxic properties.<\/p>\n
What about hytrogenic\u00a0\u00a0 sources. I use this word because it\u2019s the sort of word your doctor night use. Hector means physician in green and generic means induce by so this is induced by your physicians, sources from the health industry. One source many of us including me have plenty of is silver mercury magnum in the teeth. Silver mercury magnum in the teeth I have\u00a0\u00a0 quite a lot of them, I had them from early in my childhood. They are widely regarded to be very safe and if there are silver fillings they\u2019re silver mercury fillings, three mixture of silver mercury. You can see here someone\u2019s teeth here with a few filings in them. A recent study in sheep using radio labelled mercury showed that the\u00a0\u00a0 mercury was in fact this radioactive mercury isotope in the fillings.\u00a0 They drilled the sheep\u2019s teeth. they filled\u00a0 them with silver fillings and they showed that\u00a0 mercury was\u00a0 mobilized to the brain\u00a0 kidney and liver . We didn\u2019t know what the molecular form is, we don\u2019t know what it\u2019s doing there but we suspect it\u2019s up to no good. another source that\u2019s\u00a0 been in the paper lately is primerocol i<\/b>n vaccines\u00a0\u00a0 and it\u2019s the subject\u00a0 of some controversy I\u2019m not going to comment\u00a0 on that directly in my talk . It\u2019s been implicated as a possible cause of some cases of what people have called autism.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fortunately most childhood vaccines no longer have this mercury compound in them. my three kids, my first kid\u00a0 is 8\u00a0 he had quite a bit of primorcol, I addict know I wasn\u2019t thinking about it in those days . my second kid I out a stop to it very early \u00a0but he still had\u00a0 some from an early age , he’s 5 now and my\u00a0 3 year old has had none whatsoever.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to be talking about things that are neuron toxic so I better define what that means for those of you who don\u2019t know. When someone is neuro toxic it is a potent nuero toxin or it\u2019s poisonous\u00a0\u00a0 to our nervous system including our brains and out peripheral nerves depending on how it manifests its poison. We are very worried all us when we think about fish, we are worried about how much mercury and how bad mercury in fish is for you. Fish are the primary source of mercury in our diets and they are the major source of a nuero toxic menthol mercury species.\u00a0 This is well known. If you read the newspaper you’ll read boar methyl mercury and how it\u2019s bad for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How much mercy mercury in your diet is safe?\u00a0 For ages and\u00a0\u00a0 ages the EPA and the FDA disagreed on this. The FDA used to say eat lots of fish it\u2019s very good for you and the EPA used to say f don\u2019t eat fish it\u2019s very bad for you. now\u00a0 since march 2004\u00a0 they have\u00a0 issues a historic\u00a0 advisory here’s the url if you’re interested , if anyone\u00a0 don\u2019t have time to write that down come and see\u00a0 me and I\u2019ll get it off the laptop and they said ” eat no more than two fish\u00a0 meals per week and\u00a0 don\u2019t eat fish that are\u00a0 high in mercury” . Which fish are high in mercury? There are things like large predatory fish, fish that eat other fish that are at the top of what\u2019s called the food chain.\u00a0 fishes like sharks , sword fish , king mackerel\u00a0 many other kinds of fish\u00a0 that re predatory fish , big\u00a0 tuna\u00a0 not the little ones\u00a0 but the big ones contain a fair amount\u00a0 of mercury .<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where does this information come from? How did they decide this? There were two very large studies involving more than 800 people in each of two island populations that are exposed to mercury in their diets.\u00a0 in one, in the Pair islands , the Phair islands is in the north sea roughly half way between\u00a0 the north\u00a0 of Scotland and Iceland and this is a\u00a0\u00a0 shot of the phair islands. It\u2019s too far north to have trees on it. It\u2019s a relatively mild climate for something that far north because its right in the middle in the gold stream which keeps warm than it otherwise would be and in the pharaohs they eat a lot of mercury.\u00a0 Basically mercury appears to be a problem. Very many of the pharirsees appears to be suffering from nuero problems or subtle probelem, they are not really bad otherwise they would start noticing it and start doing something about it but they appear to be affected by the mercury they are eating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
there\u2019s a\u00a0 second\u00a0 study , a similar number of\u00a0 people and done\u00a0 in the same way and lots of the same parameters\u00a0 were measured\u00a0 in the say shells . The say shells is in the India Ocean and by comparison it\u2019s a tropical paradise. Mercury appears not to be a problem in the say shells which is quite interesting. They have similar amount of mercury in their diet so they’re different.\u00a0 W what did the EPA and FDA do? They chose the mercury study of the pharoos as a guideline, they chose the safe option.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clear to use from out previous discussion that the molecular form matters and many factors could contribute. maybe there was difference n genetic factors , these are different\u00a0 kinds of people , the pope\u00a0 that live in the pharaohs are all Caucasians\u00a0 whereas dark skinned people live in the say shells . They may be some sort of genetic factor, we don\u2019t know. They could be a difference in their diet and in fact there is. Maybe different molecular forms are actually ingested or maybe there is something else that\u2019s important and we will come back to this in a minute.\u00a0 In the phairos they eat quite a bit of whale meat. there is a very controversial whale call that happens several times per\u00a0 year un the pharaohs where large number\u00a0 of\u00a0 whales are\u00a0 killed and they eat a substantial portion\u00a0 of what they kill, the eat\u00a0 a\u00a0 lot of whale meat where as in the say shells\u00a0\u00a0 they eat\u00a0 mainly fish.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s important then it has impact for us because we don\u2019t eat much whale meat, most of the work doesn\u2019t eat whale meat these days.\u00a0 This is just a cartoon I found somewhere on the web. It\u2019s well known that metholmecurian fish is a problem but that\u2019s only half the story it turns out.\u00a0 Remember that molecules are important. Metholmecury what is it? This is what you might call methyl mercury and this is an <inaudible> that doesn\u2019t exist. It\u2019s an impossible molecular fragment. It might exist in a gas space with a positive charge on the mercury but it certainly doesn\u2019t exist in our bodies, it doesn\u2019t exist in animals, it doesn\u2019t exist anywhere in our environment or fish for that matter. methyl mercury is half the story and it\u2019s really not know what else is there e because we had to rely on conventional analysis to understand\u00a0\u00a0 what is in the fish and many possibilities exist and these are just some of the possible molecules that are risible it will be occurring in a biological system and I could draw thousands of them. There are many combinations which mercury could exit or methyl mercury could exist in a molecular form and we simply until recently didn\u2019t know what it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
