EPA proposes bold new limits for tackling ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water

WASHINGTON – Today the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled unprecedented new limits on the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS as a way to tackle drinking water contamination. The proposal targets six notorious PFAS – PFOA, PFOS, GenX, PFBS, PFNA and PFHxS.

The limits, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCLs, are the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. In addition to weighing health, these limits take water treatment costs and feasibility into consideration. The MCLs announced are 4 parts per trillion, or ppt, for PFOA and 4 ppt for PFOS, currently the limit of detection for both chemicals. For the other four PFAS chemicals, the EPA is proposing a “hazard index,” which is a tool the agency uses to address cumulative risks from mixtures of chemicals.

While these are the first federal proposed drinking water limits for PFAS, 10 states already have final or interim enforceable drinking water limits for PFAS.

“Today’s announcement by the EPA is historic progress,” said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group. “More than 200 million Americans could have PFAS in their tap water. Americans have been drinking contaminated water for decades. This proposal is a critical step toward getting these toxic poisons out of our water.

“The EPA’s proposed limits also serve as a stark reminder of just how toxic these chemicals are to human health at very low levels,” said Faber.

The EPA also set a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or MCLG, for PFOA and PFOS of zero, based on identified cancer risks. An MCLG is the maximum level of a contaminant in drinking water at which the EPA determines that no adverse health effects would occur. Whenever there is an identified cancer risk, the MCLG is set at zero.

“Today we can celebrate a huge victory for public health in this country – EPA is finally moving forward to protect drinking water across the United States by proposing federally enforceable limits on some of the most toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative chemicals ever found in our nation’s drinking water supply,” said Rob Bilott, the attorney who uncovered the widespread presence of PFAS chemicals and whose story is told in his book “Exposure” and portrayed in the movie “Dark Waters.”

“It has taken far too long to get to this point, but the scientific facts and truth about the health threat posed by these man-made poisons have finally prevailed over the decades of corporate cover-ups and misinformation campaigns designed to mislead the public and delay action,” said Bilott.

PFAS have been linked to cancer, reproductive harm, immune system damage and other serious health problems, even at low levels. The EPA has known about the risks from PFAS since at least the 1990s.

“During these decades of lax regulatory oversight, scientific studies have discovered an increasing number of ways that PFAS wreck havoc in our bodies and harm our health,” said David Andrews, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EWG. “These six PFAS stand out as some of the most well-studied PFAS, but the entire class of chemicals is a health concern. Action to reduce exposure cannot come soon enough.”

In June, the EPA proposed updated lifetime health advisories, or LHAs, for PFOA and PFOS and published new LHAs for PFBS and GenX. LHAs provide information on contaminants in drinking water that can harm people exposed to them throughout their lives.

The new EPA health risk assessment for the LHAs for the first time included studies on people, including children, and showed that PFAS exposure can cause health harms at levels much lower than the EPA’s previous health guideline of 70 ppt for PFOA and PFOS in water.

“By proposing to regulate four other PFAS as a mixture, the Biden EPA is also putting our communities ahead of the polluters,” said Activist and Actor Mark Ruffalo. “My message to polluters is simple: After poisoning your workers and neighbors for decades, it is time to make our public health, not your profits, our top priority. My message to communities devastated by PFAS pollution is equally simple: Help is finally on the way.”

PFAS have been found in the drinking water and ground water of more than 2,800 communities. But the true scale of contamination is likely much greater.

EWG estimates there could be nearly 30,000 industrial polluters releasing PFAS into the environment, including into sources of drinking water. Restricting industrial discharges will reduce the amount of PFAS that drinking water utilities must treat. In January, the EPA delayed proposed rules limiting discharges of PFAS from certain industries.

“Polluters must clean up their own mess and stop PFAS contamination at the source, instead of passing those costs onto utilities and ratepayers,” said Melanie Benesh, EWG’s vice president of government affairs. “In addition to finalizing these limits, the EPA must move quickly to regulate industrial discharges of PFAS into the air and water.”

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA has until September 3, 2024, to finalize the new drinking water standards. Drinking water utilities will then likely have three to five years to comply. Congress provided funding in the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law to address PFAS in drinking water.

“The proposed nationwide standards to limit exposure to PFAS in drinking water are a welcome development to address the harms these toxic chemicals have already inflicted upon individuals and communities,” said Tasha Stoiber, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EWG.

“Decades of unchecked use and releases of PFAS chemicals have devastated the planet by contaminating people, drinking water, and food, including fish and wildlife across the globe,” she added.

Because of current EPA guidelines, between 2023 and 2025, most water utilities will be required to test drinking water for 29 PFAS. That effort will provide more insight into the extent of contamination from those chemicals, which may prompt regulation of other compounds.

The proposed MCL is limited to six notorious PFAS. Treatment technologies installed to comply with the MCL mean other PFAS will effectively be treated too, which will reduce total PFAS levels in drinking water.

“Do All Things In-Vesica.”

Do bees pollinate marijuana? Yes. Marijuana blossoms possess female and male parts. Then it would be possible to make marijuana honey from the pollen. It will contain, in addition to the amino acids honey is blessed with, marijuana pollen.

So many factors influence the relationship between acreage and the number of hives. to produce singular honey. Tupelo, orange blossom, and clover honey are produced this way. All states’ marijuana laws limit where and the amount that can be grown and harvested. Anywhere from 1 acre to 7 acres are required to pollinate trees or plants. So the end product may be a combination of flowers including marijuana.

Amino acids are our building blocks. Honey contains them all as well as vitamins and minerals.

Honey is high in vitamin C, a variety of B vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid, as well as, minerals such as potassium.

Marijuana

There is at least one blog that demonstrates how to insert marijuana into honey. I have not seen anywhere bees are allowed to pollinate their flowers and produce honey directly. Organic wax surrounded and containing marijuana honey – can you see it?

Does marijuana have any pests?

Honey Nutrition Health Benefits Information

Source: http://www.amazing-green-tea.com/honey-nutrition.html

The secret to honey nutrition: Why the rich array of complex sugars, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants are so beneficial.

It is savored by all due to its taste as well as health benefits. What make honey so popular is its nutritional benefits and the ease with which it can be consumed.

One can eat honey directly, or put it on bread like a jam. You can mix it with juice or any drink instead of sugar. Alternatively, mix it with warm water, lime juice, cinnamon and other herbs to make a medicine.

So, what exactly does honey contain that make it such a healthful beverage?

Honey Nutrition #1:
Complex Sugar and Carbohydrates

Honey is made up of both simple sugars (called monosaccharides) such as glucose and fructose, and complex sugars (called oligosaccharides).

Complex sugars are present in all life forms and particularly in cell membranes and cell secretions. They form the basic components of:

Hormones – made of links of complex sugars and proteins known as glycoproteins.
Blood proteins – also made from glycoprotein links, with the only exception being serum albumin.
Blood cells – especially if you have a blood group of ABO.

Which type of honey contains the most complex sugars? It depends on the type of nectar the bees collect.

Honeys that contain nectar from blackberry, chinquapin, coral vine, cranberry, holly, poison oak, mountain laurel, raspberry, rhododendron, Spanish needle, sumac, thistle, tulip trees, cedar honeydew, or hickory honeydew have higher complex sugars levels.

Honey Nutrition #2:
Complex Carbohydrates

The complex carbohydrates found in honey are made up of complex sugars.

They are considered prebiotic – i.e. these complex carbohydrates are non digestible, but by consuming them you encourage the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria in the body, which helps you digest food more easily.

Honey Nutrition #3:
Vitamins and Minerals

It may come as a surprise to many people, but honey is an excellent source of vitamins. This is not equally true of vegetables and fruits.

For example, spinach loses 50% of its vitamin C content within 24 hours after being picked. Fruits lose some of their vitamin content during storage. In contrast, honey keeps well. In fact, it is probably the only food that never expires!

Honey contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. The vitamin and mineral content of honey depends on the type of flowers used for agriculture. When bees are allowed free forage, the honey blend is higher in a wider variety of vitamins and minerals.

Honey is high in vitamin C, a variety of B vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid, as well as, minerals such as potassium.

Honey Nutrition #4:
Amino Acids

All varieties of honey are rich in amino acids. One study has found that the level of amino acids present in honey is a reliable indicator of the honey’s antioxidant capacity.

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of life, essential to our very existence. When you examine the various properties and benefits of each amino acid, you will start to form a clearer picture as to why honey is so beneficial.

Tryptophan:

A natural relaxant, it helps alleviate insomnia by inducing normal sleep. It reduces anxiety and depression, relieves migraine headaches, boosts immune system, reduces the risk of artery and heart spasms, and works with Lysine to reduce cholesterol levels.

Learn why honey may be a good remedy for insomnia.

Lysine:

It is one of the essential amino acids – your body cannot generate its own Lysine, meaning you must get it from your diet.

Recent studies have shown that Lysine may be effective against herpes by improving the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth. Prolonged stressful situations increase our requirements for Lysine and it is important in the formation of collagen (the protein that forms the matrix of your bone, cartilage and connective tissue).

Methionine:

Another essential sulfur amino acids. As with other essential amino acids, you do not create your own so you must ingest it for survival.

Contributes to the formation of important compounds in your body and works as a sulfur donor to aid in your body’s detoxification processes.

Cysteine:

Functions as an antioxidant and protects the body against radiation and pollution.

Histidine:

Another essential amino acid and is delivered mostly from our diets.

It has anti-inflammatory properties and is the only amino acid found to be consistently low in the blood of those with rheumatoid arthritis.

Glutamine:

This essential amino acid plays a key role in the metabolism and the gastrointestinal tract. It is the primary energy source for the cells that line your intestines and is essential to keeping them healthy.

It is considered also to be a brain food by improving mental capacity. It may also help speed the healing of ulcers and reduce fatigue.

Tyrosine:

Tyrosine is a natural mood enhancer due to its ability to convert to feel-good neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. It helps with depression. It also may convert to thyroid hormone and to adrenaline which is produced by your adrenal gland in response to stress.

Honey Nutrition #5:
Antioxidants

Honey contains powerful antioxidants which fight free radicals and reverse aging.

Free radicals are everywhere – in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even the sunlight we love so much. Every moment, the body absorbs oxygen and turns it into energy in a process called oxidation. This process also releases free radicals.

Antioxidants slow down aging by neutralizing these free radicals. They perform healing at the deepest cellular level, allowing the benefits to manifest in a myriad of different ways.

Further information can be found in the Honey Antioxidant.

Now you have understood the incredible benefits of honey nutrition, you may have one more lingering question: how much calories does it contain? Well, you can find the answer at

Not “There”

“Do All Things In-Vesica.”

I was back in the existentialism classroom at the college I attended. A Russian woman was speaking as I came out of a distant place and thought. The room was quiet. I must have missed something. I looked around the room. The teacher was looking at me. I smiled slightly and he looked away. I looked down at my desk. He said something but I don’t remember what. The class ended. I walked out and turned back towards the door to connect with another classmate. He and I are the only two Black people. I saw some faces. I smiled at them but they looked away.

I wondered what happened when I was not “there.”

The other Black student told me that the Russian woman was saying derogatory things about Black people, that they did not want to work, and that they were lazy. I sat closer to her than he did and I heard nothing she said. He wondered what I was doing that I did not hear her comments. I could only say, “Wow.” It became apparent that I was looked towards to respond to her comments. I did not.

I thought about this day many times since. I know people experience “do-overs”, opportunities to change the outcome of events, personal or public. For example, people think of eliminating Hitler, long after his demise. (He reportedly died in Oregon in 2002.) I thought of that day in class. I thought of what I would say in response to what she said, but that was based on what my classmate said and not what I would have heard. There’s a difference: I can hear what people say and hear what they are not saying.

It was not until today, over forty years later, that I realized what happened. I felt that I was saved. I went “somewhere else” in mind. I was not mentally in the classroom although my body was in the chair. I was distracted. I know now that it was energetic. Some weeks before in that class, another white woman, in effect, called me stupid. We were discussing Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.” I was assertive in my response to what she said to me. I felt that I was holding back but went with it anyway. I was short of literally telling her off.

The second time could have been worse. This woman said very inflammatory stuff, however, right now, I thank Spirit for the distraction. I often thought about what I would have said or would have done to her; what repercussions there might have been, and the fallout. This tape is gone. The do-overs, the shoulda-coulda-wouldas are over now. I am smiling and shaking my head about this late discovery of a gift I received. Thank you, Distractors, for directing my attention to something else I needed at that time. Please acknowledge my acceptance of your assistance in the future. Looking at the time span in between, Spirit has obliged.

The environment is strangling; life on earth IS in trouble. Whoever reads this, please make the time to visit Geoengineering.Org. Write letters to express your displeasure. Are enough of us making noise? Are enough of us “…mad as hell and not going to take it anymore?”

Yes, the businesses. Gary Null is hosting a webinar on January 8th, 2023 called “Rescue and Hope.”

Webinar of Rescue and Hope

Prepare for a fact-filled time. Take notes, and surround yourself with refreshments. There are breaks. It’s difficult to say how long the webinar will run. I have attended several; they continue, ending with a question and answer period, and all questions are addressed. Call to register. Space fills quickly.

The second business is SBI! or Solo Build It! I am an SBI user since 2009. They are in the final days of a special. Up until midnight on December 27, if you buy an annual SBI! Or SBI! for a WP subscription, they’ll add an extra one for free to gift to someone else.

A Turn

I am electing a different place from which to continue living.

The month of October carried a lot of memories and energy. Counting back, I was conceived in that month. I met my beloved in the month of my birth. He was born and died in October. It’s been seven years since he died. He and I have been working on continuing our communication and for it to increase in clarity so that I would rarely, if at all, have my sister-friend relay his messages to me.

A new study was recently published that showed anxiety reduces the ability to intuit. Many knew that but now it is “proven”, moving from experience to fact. People who did not consider experience to be acceptable can now catch up.

In many months since my first connection with spirit in 1990 with a person named Rev. Raphael Azariel Francisco di Angelo, a spiritist, I was challenged with various life experiences, the latest and ongoing is my husband’s release of his physical form. I get that this is the time to learn and embrace new ways to relate to him. Our marriage continues.

He has been patient. He does have other things to do, you know. The dimension he is in is just like this one, however, things occur faster. Here, we have the advantage of the time to change what we desire.

J, my friend, got a message from my husband. She sang offkey (she is wonderful) “Just remember I love you and it’ll be alright…” It was Firefall’s song. I thanked her and play it often, hearing him. Another song I liked was “Miracles” by Jefferson Starship. And there was “Love Is All You Need” by the Beatles. Love is in all of these songs and the operative feeling. That was where I began, again.

DR. KARY MULLIS

Post author By tortola92002
Post date November 1, 2022

Dr. Kary Mullis, oddly, is no longer with us. He has been “late” for a while. Somehow, his silence was made possible, naturally, or…

First is an upload of an interview that Dr. Gary Null had done with Dr. Mullis. All of Gary’s work is hard-hitting, just like this exchange. Dr. Mullis challenged Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, or NIAID, under whose supervision, according to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Americans’ vulnerability to allergy and infectious diseases increased, not decreased.

Question: if Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s’ book “The Real Anthony Fauci” is baseless, why hasn’t Anthony Fauci sued?

An article by The Phase entitled “THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF DR. FAUCI’S MOST NOTABLE CRITIC” also has several videos, some of which were banned from Youtube.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF DR. FAUCI’S MOST NOTABLE CRITIC – DR. KARY MULLIS, INVENTOR OF PCR TEST

VIDEO:

The late Dr. Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, has been blowing the whistle on Fauci and big pharma for thirty years. CONVENIENTLY died in august of 2019. Doctors Kaufman, Shiva, Tenpenny, Cahill, Martin, Mikovits and many others knows Fauci is a lying little criminal who should be in jail. Nuremberg 2.0 trial for crimes against humanity soon.

Celia Farber wrote an outstanding article on this topic featuring Mullis. Here is the article; I learned a ton from reading it: https://uncoverdc.com/2020/04/07/was-the-covid-19-test-meant-to-detect-a-virus/

Interesting to note that the first hit from a Google search of “Dr. Kary Mullis” results in a defamatory article: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/kary-mullis–inventor-of-the-pcr-technique–dies-66256

The first hit from a Duck Duck go search results in his Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kary_Mullis
You know you are over the target when Google has to override their search engine to defame a Nobel scientist.

“Do All Things In-Vesica.”

Posted on May 9, 2022

You know that you have a problem. If you drink too much alcohol, you get soooo relaxed and sleepy, that you cannot get up and relieve yourself. You lay. You struggle. Bet you keep drinking. It makes you feel good. Getting you to wake up one morning. Not only is there wet bed linen, but your ass is in a pond on the memory foam retained in your impression of yourself. You think, “Well, I think I really do have a problem.” The thought is still out of committing to change.

We have done this all over the world. Our climate is changing; our environment has changed. The environment’s changes were evident for decades and yet to this day, I write this in 2022, we still have done little to work on the cause.

The wider picture, moving from you to us, involves the world. We produce waste of all kinds everywhere humans are. The astronauts left ninety-six bags of feces on the moon during their missions between 1969 and 1972.

The earth is full of our pee, our waste is all on this planet which is to be expected. We are born here and share the same elements. Humans created non-organic products for centuries. The first Earth Day was created in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson for which he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bill Clinton. He knew, along with millions of Americans, that the planet was in trouble.

Earth Day is observed globally since 1990 – thirty years ago.

In 2022 we are still peeing on ourselves and not caring about the pond we wake up in.

Mismanaged waste kills 1 million people annually. Recently, 87,000 tons of covid waste were released in 2021. That figure was just from hospitals, not other users.

WION’s video listed the largest polluters in the world. First is Coca-Cola, the corporation that changed Santa Claus’ suit from the traditional multi-colored wonder to red with white fur trim. Next was Pepsi-Cola, both are essentially run by the same corporation; the competition is good for sales.

The other corporate polluters are:

Nestle- creator of a tremendous amount of waste
Unilever
Model EZ
Mars
P&G
Philip Morris International
Colgate Palmolive
Perfetti Van Melle

We used to use glass bottles. The corporations changed the containers to plastic and made it the consumers’ responsibility to discard the waste. They are the top polluters for the fourth year in a row. A young dead whale was found with 88 pounds of plastic in its stomach. If you choose to steep in your waste, is it reasonable to expect other individuals to steep in your waste?

The waste is in the body, long after it appeared in flora and fauna. It was believed that one made the bed, therefore, one had t lie in it. Not any more. Remake the bed, dammit. Change the future. How do you think the corporations who made the decision to change to plastics will know that you are dissatisfied? If you continue to do nothing, according to the World Bank, world waste will increase by 70% in the year 2050. More pee to steep in.

From a March 21st Greenpeace email:

Big companies like Coca-Cola want “brand impressions.” They want you to see their name and their product everywhere you go.

But I don’t think they’re too happy with Greenpeace. Along with our partners, we went looking and found their brands polluting beaches and riverbanks around the world.

Plastic waste on the beach near Brindisi

From the most recent count, we’ve found over 476,423 plastic bottles, bags, and other debris (collected by 72,541 amazing volunteers!). Coke “beat” Pepsi by more than 2-1. #1 in trash!²

I don’t know about you, but when I go to the beach, I’m not looking for a view filled with bottle caps and torn labels.

We can push big changes. We can push for a plastic-free world. But it’s going to take a lot of work to do it. I’m up for the challenge — are you?

For our oceans, for our climate, for communities, for marine wildlife, and for our future — make your gift to Greenpeace now.

No more single-use plastics,

Kate Melges
Oceans Campaigner, Greenpeace USA

Write to these polluters, who did not ask consumers what kinds of containers they wanted, to cease. You and I have the power of the purse. We don’t have to buy their products. While you’re at it, resist everything digital. The sell is that it would make our purchasing power easier. It will give them, those with more money than us, the ability to control our accounts and what we can purchase.

Make change.
