.. Re: Unleaded Petrol Dear Duncan: Congratulations on publisbing the excellent article, '!ivied "The Lies of Unleaded Petrol" (part 1) (April-May '95). There are a cou ple of considerations in the whole argument about leaded/unleaded petrol which have been ignored by the media (or perhaps we should say proscribed by the media bosses). One is that it takes more oil to pro duce a given quantity of unleaded petrol than it does for thc same amount of leaded rpetrol. This means that the oil companies have to pro duce more oil and, Ireluctantly, make more money. Leaded vehides [un quite satisfac torily (and more efficiently) on "Gasohol"-a blend of unleaded petrol and ethanol. Two years ago I wrote to th.e Democrats in Parliament Hou.se on thc virtues of gasohol alJd received a reply from Sell. CouLter who said, in effect, that he already knew all about gasohol and the Democrats would be pushing fOF its introduction. Howcvcr, noth ing seems to have happened in this regard. Could it be that the oil com panies are blocking its introduction so that they can maximise oil pro duction? (Had the Dcmocraots pushed the issue hard and Iioud it may Ihave slowed the migration of tlleir vouers to the Greens,) A second' consideration concerns the carcinogenic qualities of addi tives to unLeaded !fuel and the article discusses this in detail. However, an aspect rarely brougllt out is that the drug companies are arms of tile petrochemical transnationalls. Logically, it is good business to pro duce products which make people sick because thcir drug companies will later make a fortune selling courses of expensive (and futile) drugs. Is it unreasonable to believe that the petrochemical cartels have done cost-benefH analyses along these lines? Regards, Ron H., Tweed Heads, NSW, Australia. Re: Gulf War Syndrome Dear Editor: A number of souroes have reported that vaccines and immunis.ations received by US sol diers are the chief suspected cillprits for the Gulf War Syndrome. The concept of a vaccine is to stim ulate a person's immune system to become stronger by subje.cting it to a weak assault, In an environment which has deteriorated to a state where immune systems are working ove.rtime to maintain health, the vac cination approach may no longer be a good idea. Since sources of stress 4 • NEXUS accumulate, a c.ertain vaccination may be the straw that breaks the camd's back, resulting in an immune-system defiei.ency instead of a stronger immune system. In the case of the Gulf War veter ans, vaccinations may only be a component of ~he prohlem because veterans not s\lbjected to experimen tal US vaccines are also experienc ing the GWS, according ,to an edi tor's note following "Gullf War Guinea Pigs" (NEXUS, April-May '95). A possible contributor to the GWS may be friendly fire from an elec tronic battlefield which so zapped the Iraqi troop's that they showed no fighting ability at all. lin addition, Defense News (April 13-19, 1992) reported that an EMP weapon designed to mimic the flash of elec tricity from a nuclear explosion was used in the Gulf War. Another indication of an adverse encrgy environment, reported 'by USA Today (May 26, 1994), indicat ed that 14,000 detectors designed ito sense hostile chemicals. and biologi cal substances sounded up to three times a day during the war, while secondary verification procedures were unable to confirm the presence of such agents. Since the GWS has AIDS-like characteristics, it might be recalled that a declining immune system which first affected signHi cantnumbers of people was associat ed with surviving the immediate effects of radiation from an atomic blast. Besides avoiding subjecting people to adverse environments, it may be desiJabJe to consider techniques otheF than vaccines to strengthen the immune system=like the example mentiolled in "Paramagnetic ELF Forces" (Acre!, USA, April 1995). Apparently a Jewish nigh priest dur ing the time of Ghrist would wear a long ribbon of cloth (wool-linen or burlap), called! a Shatnez, soaked in sea water, so that he could safely examine lepers. Tlhe Shatnez pre vented the disease from being kin dled in the high priest by aluering the flow of energy. Sincerely, Faul S., Kansas City, MO, USA. , " Re: Spiritual Service Dear Duncan: Recently I rcad in a book that only 20 per cent of what Jesus said in the Bible he actually said. One of the things he did not say is "I am the 'fruth, the Way, and the life. The only way to the Father is through Me". If this research is true and accurate, I don't think it willi circulate far in the Christian' commu~ity. Is it not interesting that Ipeople believe the truth only if it doesn't interfere with what they want to beJieve? Instead of worshipping and praying cndlessly, ~ have a spiritual method where I project with my mind and soul the best love, intelligence and creativity I have to all. life in the Universe to contribute to the Universe instead of being parasitic om it the way mankind has been till now. How m;wy other people do this? I would like to know. ~ believe this method of spiritual service will be the coming thing in th.e new age. Yours sincerel¥, Gordon R., Christchurch, New Zealand. (Dear Gord.on: I dOll't belieJle mankind is parasitic, any more than a child sucking on its mother's breast is. Mankind is young, growing and leaming. Your contribution to the UniJlerse, though, is the reason I chose your lener to publish. Thank you, and keep it up' Ed.) Re: Vaccination Dangers Dear Duncan: I would really like to congratulate you and your team on a great magazine. My husband and I arc re.cent converts andl look forw.ard to cach issue with avid interest. I have been particularly interested in the various articles you have print ed on the vaccination issue. This subject is close to my heart because my young son is now disabled and suffers chronic iIJIcllealth due to vac cination. His rea-ctions were imme diate and severe, and have left me a veJy frustrated, disillusioned and angry mother. I grieve for the nor mal, healthy toddler I once had, whilst still lovwg the beautiful rare flower lhat is now my little boy. I cannot stress strongly enough that parents of today need to make informed decisions whcn :it comes to the question of immunisation. There is a wealth of reading material giving the other side of the argument which is never presented to the public by health officials and governments. There are many children who are simHarly affected like my son. Because re.p:orting of adverse reac tions is not compulsory, and because of the fact Ithat many doctors do notIrecognise true contraindications ~ when they o'ccur, the government does not have a ,true picture statisti cally of just how dangerous and far reaching the effects of vaccines are. If parents choose to vaccinate, ask abou~ side-effects, tell doctors of any allergies to drugs, and any history of eczema, asthma, epilepsy or convul sions in the family. It may just savc your child's life. H you feell vaccination is not for your children, don't be !bulldozed or intimidated by health providers. Remembcr, they are being paid a $6 incentive for each child they recruit. Perhaps the well-being oli our chil dren will be sevaside because of Ithis monetary exercis.e. TheJe is also another asp.ect to all this. According to Federal Health Department publications, not all practitioners store vaccines correctly, and quite often the "cold chain" is not maintained. Also, many"doctors inject into the wrong site, do not diagnose contraindications or misdi agn.osc those symptoms which are not "true contrajndications. This d~oes not exactly engend.eJ eunfi dence in an already [a'ltering health service. So I say to all responsible 'parents, read all you can, soak up information like a sponge, ,then make this all· important decision. Your children's health, development and well-being will rely on this. Yours faithfully, Kim S., Warburton, Victoria, Australia. Re: Relativity Values Dear Sir: I am writing with regard to an article in the June-July 1995 edjtion, titled "The Adams Super power Multi-polar Magnet". In this article, Robert Adams takes shots at Einstein's theories of relativ ity which, dare I say, seems ridicu lous. Were Robert Adams to take the time he would find that the sci ence of Geometrodynamics (the behaviourall study of space-time), which is built solely on the theory of general relativity, is 100 per cent in support of his own views. I am a great fan of both Robert Adams and Albert Einstein-whom ,I think would have enjoyed witnessing Robert Adams' work. Sincerely, Riki M., Wellington, New Zealand. Re: Cruelty to Animals The Australian Association for Humane Research is joining other groups thmughout the world to protcst against Gillette's refusal to stop using animals in outdated and cruel anilM.l tests. lIn fact, Gillette's animal use is on the rise: the number of animals tortured and killed has more than doubled since 1987. With our new balcony banner, "Gillette Tortures Animals", we hope to draw peo'ple's attention to the company's intransigence and tbus put furtheJ pJessure on them to abandon the practice.
