The military is aware of DU’s harmful effects on the human genetic code. A 2001 study of DU’s effect on DNA done by Dr. Alexandra C. Miller for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md., indicates that DU’s chemical instability causes 1 million times more genetic damage than would be expected from its radiation effect alone. Studies have shown that inhaled nano-particles are far more toxic than micro-sized particles of the same basic chemical composition. British... Read Full Story

Most Americans never even think about the fluoride that is in the water that they drink, the water that they bathe in and the water that they brush their teeth in.  But could this substance which is supposed to be helping us actually be doing serious damage to our health that we don't even realize?  The truth is that it would be very difficult to overstate the fluoride dangers that most people in the United States are facing. Fluoride is actually a toxic sedative.  It was given to... Read Full Story

The Nuclear Regulator Commission will hold hearings tomorrow and Wednesday in Hawaii on an application by the US Army for a permit to have depleted uranium at its Pohakuloa Training Area, a vast stretch of flat land in what’s called the “saddle” between the sacred mountains of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on Hawaii’s Big Island, and at the Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu. In fact, what the Army is asking for is a permit to leave in place the DU left over from years of test firing of... Read Full Story

The horrors of the US Agent Orange defoliation campaign in Vietnam, about which I wrote on Oct. 15 , could ultimately be dwarfed by the horrors caused by the depleted uranium weapons which the US began using in the 1991 Gulf War (300 tons), and which it has used much more extensively–and in more urban, populated areas–in the Iraq War and the now intensifying Afghanistan War. Depleted uranium, despite its rather benign-sounding name, is not depleted of radioactivity or toxicity. The term... Read Full Story

JP Kelly wrote: The work was inspired by a desire to bring to light the fact that a highly dangerous substance is being spread throughout the world in the name of military superiority. Depleted uranium (DU) is used in munitions as projectiles because it is extremely dense and will easily penetrate through armor. DU emits alpha particles which can be stopped by a piece of paper and so DU is purported to be safe. When a DU projectile is fired it creates minute particles of DU which are spread...
