FYI
Widely Used Chemical Might Have Cancer Link.
Workers in a Wilkes-Barre special- education school district gave
little thought
to the chemical, TCE, they knew only as deglazing solvent. But now
roughly 2
dozen employees have been diagnosed with diseases linked to TCE.

Be sure to check out this new website about this TCE exposure at
http://www.TCEexposure.org.
This is an awesome new site, and is presented by a student at
Lewis&Clark College in the Environmental Program. The Mattel (who
also owns Fisher-Price) site location here in the Portland, Oregon, area:
this is
right in Lewis&Clark's backyard - making it a perfect segue for
its students to study from both the environmental and legal aspects,
both of which programs at Lewis&Clark are highly regarded.

Did You Know?
The Atlanta C.D.C. sent many representatives, scientists,
toxicologists, and epidemiologists here about this site two years
ago. It was this panel who met with a group of us that told
us this Mattel location-site has the highest levels of TCE ever
recorded anywhere on the planet.
Ever. Anywhere. On the planet.

Has TCE invaded your backyards?? Check it out!
Ask questions. Ask or find out what companies have operated in
your area and what kinds of chemicals they have used. Those
chemicals may now be in your water sources and in your ground.
You or someone you care about may have been toxic poisoned
and don't even known it! This may be the cause of many of the
chronic problems and illnesses that maybe you just attributed to
getting older or something like that! Toxic poisoning, in our
experience, often is masked by companies just saying that you're
just getting older and that you maybe haven't take as good a care of
yourselves as you should have. Not!! Take charge of your
own wellness. Take charge of your own decisions. Make
decisions that count. You count.
Thanks so much for your continued support. You do really
count.
