Child Protective Services removes the child from the parents’ care and custody and then places the child under the agency’s foster care program with parents facing legal charges. So, what would happen if someone were to feed formaldehyde-laced milk or formula to an infant or toddler? Wouldn’t CPS become involved? Why then, is formaldehyde injected into infants and toddlers in vaccines/vaccinations? Where’s Child Protective Services? What would happen if a parent injected formaldehyde into a child? What would happen to a person who would have mercury residue in a child’s play area? Wouldn’t CPS and the local Department of Environmental Services be... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4992694 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 06:29:50 +0100 4992694 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4934167&cid=t_132706_87_f&fid=39261&url=http%3A%2F%2Fvactruth.com%2F2011%2F06%2F14%2Fformaldehyde-in-vaccines%2F It’s official, or as official as it can be: The New York Times reports that formaldehyde is listed as a carcinogen by government scientists, and that “…it is found in worrisome quantities in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43362696/ns/health-the_new_york_times However, both the U.S. government and The New York Times forgot to include that formaldehyde also is present in vaccines.

What about temporary inexpensive drugstore straighteners that are supposed to last till your next shampoo, such as the ones by Garnier and John Frieda? Are they safe? The Garnier one smells HORRIBLE!! The Right Brain replies: We’ve written before about 7 Sure Ways To Straighten Your Hair.  The two products you asked about are kind of a combination of these. John Frieda 3 Day Straight Frieda’s 3 Day Straight works by using silicone to coat your hair (#1 on our list of 7 straighteners). By coating each hair and then treating it with a flat iron (which is #3 on the list) you can get your hair reasonably straight and it will last pretty well as long as you don&... thebeautybrains.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4934520 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:01:50 +0100 4934520 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3757801&cid=t_132706_83_f&fid=34856&url=http%3A%2F%2Finsidesurgery.com%2F2010%2F07%2Famerican-cancer-society-releases-list-19-chemicals-avoided%2F The American Cancer Society has named a list of 19 chemicals and shift work as things that may very likely signficantly increase the risk of cancer. Chemicals on the list included chloroform, formaldehyde, carbon black, titanium dioxide, indium phosphide, and cobalt tungsten carbide.

Including the details of standard autopsy procedures, as though they were new or bizarre. The latest, of course, is that Michael Jackson’s body is being buried without his brain. But this is not unusual in an autopsy where the cause of death isn’t certain and the brain is suspected to carry some clues. The brain needs to harden, in order to perform the later slicing needed in the autopsy procedure: It involves removing the brain from the skull and leaving it to soak in a diluted mixture of formaldehyde and water called formalin. This soaking process usually takes four weeks and the brain genuinely does harden. Vaug...

For an extremely statistical look, read the abstract -> http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/djp096 I had some exposure to formaldehyde during my twenties. Nobody can say for sure if that was the risk factor for me though. I worked around plastics.  A certain type of plastic, called high density polyethylene,  gives off fumes that contain formaldehyde when it’s heated to a high temperature.  We stood around at a factory with melting HDPE around us all the time.

Many of those scientific-sounding names are actually preservatives. You know, those food additives to ensure that tasty (and generally non-nutritious) food does not spoil on the shelf.Is food meant to spoil fast? Sure it is -- but in the world of processed and packaged foods loaded with taste enhancers and other chemicals, shelf life is the top concern -- not inclusion of healthy ingredients. Well, most of the time anyway.Preservatives like formaldehyde are known by many to be carcinogens and cancer-causing agents in large-enough doses. My advice? Take about four or five of those processed foods from the pantry and type in each individual ingredient into your favorite search engine and begin researching ...
