The effects of DDT are staggering.

Equally staggering are the levels of DDT, glyphosate, and other toxins in the American food supply, especially in meat, pork, poultry, and fish.

“We lack robust safety data on most of the estimated 30,000 chemicals in wide commercial use registered under the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act. But the greatest concern may lie in the long-banned legacy chemicals that continue to contaminate the food supply, known as PLOPS—PERSISTENT LIPOPHILIC ORGANIC POLLUTANTS. THESE INCLUDE DIOXINS, PCBS, AND INSECTICIDES SUCH AS DDT.” Dr. Michael Greger

It's crazy. Hippocrates said Food is Medicine; Medicine is Food. The FDA says it's OK to load up food with ingredients that cause disease.

After reading volumes on vaccines, polio and the likely causes of what we call polio by DDT and arsenic poisoning, coupled with a vast U.S. history radiation and other experimentation on domestic communities, I am convinced that most severe illness is caused by poison. This is easy to accomplish by careful administration by air and through food and water.

It’s always the double whammy by the ruling class mafia- they need to kill two birds with one stone with every operation. In this case, selling medicine and killing people at the same time.

"DDT was discovered during World War II to be a great means of stopping infection from typhus and malaria. Its inventor, Paul Hermann Mueller, won the Nobel Prize in 1948.

It was used throughout the 1950s and ‘60s and was on the verge of wiping out mosquito-borne diseases from the planet. Then something very peculiar came along. A book called Silent Spring by Rachel Carson was published in 1962, and it eventually created a fantastic backlash against progress. The spring was silent supposedly because of the lack of birds, all killed off by DDT.

The only problem is that Carson’s claims were never scientifically validated. Indeed, it was a hoax. Studies pumped primates full of DDT with no effect. Human volunteers ingested the stuff with no effect. Workers with 600 times the typical exposure to DDT showed no increased side effects. "

The quantity of bullshit written *against* DDT biases me to believe that it's a fairly safe and healthy insecticide (preventing more disease than causing), but I haven't dug into an analysis. Charles' writing here is assuming DDT harmfulness, and fails to address the factual history of the political ban of it.

I think you’ve been hoodwinked and gaslit, Perry. This is a tired old tactic by the medical industrial complex. When people get close to discovering the truth, it’s the full court propaganda press— through media, books, movies, scientific studies, laws- all to convince us to believe the lies. They did this with DMSO too- a wonder substance that can’t be patented and cures most everything at a cellular level. Perfectly safe. Our govt through the FDA spent billions over a 10-year campaign in the 60s and 70s to scare the shit out of everyone and erase it from the market. It cured too many people too easily.

So basically you choose to believe the grift they’re selling. You read some bad book and think you’ve discovered the truth. Time to wake up.

Presuming to know my history on this issue is not a sign of intelligence.

Further, do you know what "gaslit" means? Can you define it without looking it up? Then can you explain what aspect of my comments indicates a state of being 'gaslit'?

I would like to conduct some studies on you using DDT. We can settle this debate using scientific method.

In 1943, researchers at the FDA identified three potential hazards related to DDT that demanded further research: (1) DDT in solution was readily absorbed through the skin causing tremors, paralysis, and even death in rabbits; (2) chronic exposure to DDT produced a wide range of organ damage in test animals; and (3) while inhalation of DDT had little effect on some animals (e.g., dogs), it killed others, such as mice [5]. DDT: The rise and fall of a "miracle" chemical by Alister R. Olson, Michael P. Clough, and Benjamin C. Herman

In 1944-1945 alone, reports included: (1) widespread death of fish, crabs, and insects due to DDT use in the Pacific; (2) recognition that DDT resembled known carcinogens in appearance and effect; (3) fish mortality from low dose DDT application, and significant declines in bird populations with higher doses; and (4) harm to some crops, beneficial insects, and animals [5]. Some scientists during this period even warned that heavy use of DDT could result in “biological deserts” that would be “devoid of life” [5]. DDT: The rise and fall of a "miracle" chemical by Alister R. Olson, Michael P. Clough, and Benjamin C. Herman

April 1945: The emerging reports and research led the army and United States Public Health Service to enact regulations in April 1945 that severely limited domestic aerial spraying of DDT [5]. Such restrictions may seem incongruent with the wide use of the spray at this time by the U.S. armed forces to protect soldiers overseas, but the press release announcing the 1945 regulations addressed the apparent inconsistency:… DDT distributed over the countryside not only wipes out malaria carrying mosquitoes but also may kill other insects, many of which are beneficial. Much still must be learned about the effect of DDT on the balance of nature important to agriculture and wild life before general outdoor application of DDT can be safely employed in this country. It may be necessary to ignore these considerations in war areas where the health of our fighting men is at stake, but in the United States such considerations cannot be neglected. U.S. Army, & U.S. Public Health Service, p. 284 [15]. DDT: The rise and fall of a "miracle" chemical by Alister R. Olson, Michael P. Clough, and Benjamin C. Herman

1946. Pesticides and Polio: A Critique of Scientific Literature

“Simultaneously with the occurrence of this disorder [X-disease], a number of related changes occurred in the incidence of known diseases. The most striking of these is poliomyelitis. In the United States the incidence of polio had been increasing prior to 1945 at a fairly constant rate, but its epidemiologic characteristics remained unchanged. Beginning in 1946, the rate of increase more than doubled. Since then remarkable changes in the character of the disease have been noted. Contrary to all past experience, the disease has remained epidemic year after year.”

Lol. Try to take some deep breaths, maybe some squats or pushups. Maybe jumping jacks.

Then exhale deeply and look at your DDT vs Polio graph.

What is the lagging indicator?

You and Al Gore both, man.

You should know that the balance of the literature certifies DDT's low acute toxicity. And being from the field, I know how spurious the quantification of alleged cancer risks typically are. And teratogenic effects come from just aboug anything in high enough quantities.

From an individual rights perspective, harms need to be proven before individual polluters can be shut down.

I also don't see any case against private application of DDT. The massive overuse of it was a 'public health policy'.

And that's 'public health policy' is the kind of thing too many on 'our side' of the covid chasm are still bleating for.

Yaweh told us: "If you really want a King, you're gonna regret it."

Actually you've got it backwards unless you are pimping for scumbag corporate polluters who care not one whit for life which it appears you are.

If we lived in a sane world we would practice the precautionary principle where the burden of proof for safety would be upon the corporate hyenas. Of course that would cut into the bottom line and put multitudes of these criminals out of business.

Please for the sake of all of us begin a regular DDT spray campaign at your abode and add some deltamethrin to the mix while your doing your home improvements.

The disinformation that is inherit in medical literature is why I suggest that people conduct simple studies to determine the truth for themselves. We could spray your home and everyone who has ever supported the use of DDT with DDT and record the results before and after.

For the true cause of "COVID" deaths, we could use the methods that Pierre Kory used at Beth Israel medical center on volunteers. 100 doctors get the vent/opioid/tranquilizer, with the same dosages and settings; 100 get nothing. (Or, alternatively, we could give them "something" harmless (say root beer) and say that "something" cured (whatever), simply because we're comparing two death rates). My education is in statistics and I can see through these simple statistical deceptions in medical literature.

I don't think any medical professionals would agree to these types of trials on themselves.

Maybe I need it to prevent malaria and you're a threat to my life by preventing me from getting it?

That might be considered attempted murder.

Property rights solves this. Under a natural Law property-rights regime, I may not put DDT in your root beer without permission, and you may not threaten my life by preventing me from killing the malaria-carrying mosquitos on my land.

Quinine works. That's what HCQ is derived from. Here's a history of that: https://charleswright1.substack.com/p/history-of-cinchona-bark-quinine You can order Quinine on Ebay.

This whole strategy to use DDT is only designed to cause harm. No doubt about it. I'd kill the mosquitoes too, but I damn sure wouldn't spray DDT in my home to do it. Watch how this guy kills mosquitoes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BhV-o77RqQ

Another simple and environmentally-friendly strategy is to stock mosquito minnows in stagnant water wherever it occurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CCAMWIpeOk

Gates is definitely a Malthusian. So is his old buddy, Steve Kirsch. Kirsch actually defended Gates, and asked "where is the smoking gun memo?" I said there was one from the Ford Foundation in 1973. I still haven't found the text of this memo though. I think it would be quite revealing. https://charleswright1.substack.com/p/the-smoking-gun-memo-from-bill-gates

Plasmodium is said to be unicellular eukaryotes, whatever they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodium#See_also

"Plasmodium is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and insects. The life cycles of Plasmodium species involve development in a blood-feeding insect host which then injects parasites into a vertebrate host during a blood meal. Parasites grow within a vertebrate body tissue (often the liver) before entering the bloodstream to infect red blood cells. The ensuing destruction of host red blood cells can result in malaria. During this infection, some parasites are picked up by a blood-feeding insect (mosquitoes in majority cases), continuing the life cycle.[1]"

On another note look at the use of insecticide-treated durable wall lining in Africa.

These are deltamethrin-impregnated polyethylene materials designed to cover domestic walls that would normally be sprayed with residual insecticide. Highly toxic.

They are also treating mosquito netting with various pesticides throughout Africa.
