GREEN PARTY OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSAL (9/19/05): DRAFT 9/20/05

SPONSOR:  Green Issues Working Group

PRESENTERS/CONTACTS: To be determined by the Coordinating Committee. RSVP info@green247.org

 

SUBJECT:  Workshop on toxic exposure

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:   Statistics Prove Prescription Drugs Are 16,400% More Deadly Than Terrorists. Every year approximately 200,000 die from prescription drug reactions and another 80,000 die from medical malpractice (4), while 41,000 die in auto accidents. [DRUG TOPICS, October 23, 1995, pg. 14-16.] What is wrong with our focus on the "drug war" when 200,000 die each year from prescription drugs, yet approximately only 20,000 die as a result of illegal drug use (60)? The Annual Cost of Rx Therapy Problems Placed at $77 Billion (60).

Could the majority of the homeless be "Toxic Victims" rather than "Mentally Ill"? Could many of the homeless be dysfunctional from a "Toxic Environment" and the cumulative toxic chemical exposures? Toxic chemicals can multiply in toxicity when mixed. Over 70% of the oncologists that were polled said that they would not use chemo therapy on themselves or their own family.

PROPOSAL: 
 Workshop on the Cumulative Effects of Toxins

1. We will present SB 600 (0rtiz). This bill incorporates testing suicide victims for “toxic exposure”. 


Does 
California need to invest in bio-monitoring
? 
Torture is a significant cause of suicide. 
Why not test for evidence of torture? Is suicide a preventable disease? Will testing the survivors prevent 
their committing suicide?

2. We will discuss indoor air information, asthma and respiratory infections. Is "Mycoplasm" a Biological Weapon? Do “chemtrails” infect populations?

3. We will discuss chemotherapy, both herbal and pharmaceutical. Is it safe to megadose herbal supplements? The herbs that can kill a retrovirus can damage the body. If it doesn’t kill you, does it make you stronger?

4. We will discuss the accountability of corporations and CEOs who expose unwilling citizens to toxins. How can we hold them accountable?

DEFINITIONS: Mycoplasm Avium is a microorganism pandemic that was epidemic in 1918, back when it was possible to quarantine the infected. Chemtrails are not strakes but clouds of chemicals that remain visible in the wake of some aircraft long after water vapor alone would disintegrate.
