Dihydrogen Monoxide - The Invisible Killer

DHMO
Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless,
and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths
are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen
monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes
severe swelling and tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include
excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea,
vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent,
DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
DHMO
-
is the major component of acid rain
-
contributes to the "greenhouse effect"
-
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape
-
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals
-
may cause electrical failures
-
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients
Contamination is Reaching Epidemic Proportions
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost
every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is
global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In the
Midwest alone, DHMO has recently caused millions of dollars in property
damage.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
-
as an industrial solvent and coolant
-
in nuclear power plants
-
in the production of Styrofoam
-
as a fire retardant
-
in many forms of cruel animal research
-
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce
remains contaminated by this chemical
-
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and
nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal.
The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any
longer.
The Horror Must be Stopped
The American government has refused to ban the production,
distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to
the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military
organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion
dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds
of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated
underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later
use.
It's Not Too Late
