The Toxic Poisoning   
(find out just how important the environment is to YOU personally !! )

 Well, this is a big and important subject.  Where to start…….  hmmmm…..

 Legal Note to Start Off With:  Anecdotal and Anecdotal Evidence, loosely translated, means that these are my personal experiences and thoughts – my story.  Not Legal. Not Scientific.

Another Legal Note:  I am no scientist, doctor, lawyer, physician, nor toxicologist.

And One More Legal Note:  Don’t bother to sue me.  I have nothing left after spending everything -- everything I had to work on getting well!

 And, thank you God – truly -  that I am still here.   :-)
 

 Most of you who know me know about The Toxic Poisoning at the Mattel—who-also-owns-Fisher-Price toy manufacturing plant located just outside of Portland, Oregon.  Lots of people have died.  Lots and lots of people are sick.  Lots and lots and lots of people don’t even know it’s happened.   
Legal Note: nothing has been prooooooven as to why the people died or why they are sick. 

 And that’s what I want to focus on.  Getting the word out.  And making sure everybody knows this has happened.  Here.  Maybe other places too.  That there are FOUR toxic chemicals at the Mattel location here, not just the one that Mattel "seems" (Legal translation for “seems”:  I can’t prooooove this, but it sure “seems”…) to want to be sure is the only focus.  And it "seems"  (same Legal note as before on the “seems”) that Mattel is even seeming to downplay the one toxic chemical they do fess to.

 If there is only one thing more I would or could accomplish for the rest of my life, it’s this:  I want the people to KNOW, and I want the medical and healthcare communities to KNOW that       

1.)      this toxic poisoning happened, here

2.)              there are FOUR highly toxic chemicals involved, not just one, at this Mattel location here

3.)     this simply is not the only place this kind of thing has happened. 

so that we people – all the people everywhere on this planet, whether you think you might have been toxic poisoned or not – will KNOW about it and be able to make choices in their own lives about what they want to do about it (we have to last longer!).  By simply KNOWING about toxic poisoning -- of any kind, anywhere! -- YOU can make your own decisions about your healthcare and wellness!  YOU CHOOSE!  Not the other way around.  Then, this way, by even KNOWING about toxic poisoning -- of any kind, anywhere -- you can seek medical treatments, hopefully, before something awful happens.  Get well before you know how sick you are.  That's my goal.   [see also What I Did ]

And…  So that doctors and others in the healthcare communities everywhere will give credence and validity to the actual true likelihood that you, their patient, just may have been toxic poisoned -- at some level, everywhere.  And maybe then they’ll stop patting the back of the hand and dishing out prescriptions for prozac and hormones, no matter what gender, simply because they’ve not heard of it – “it” meaning The Toxic Poisoning, and in this particular case, meaning at the Mattel plant, and that there are FOUR chemicals not just one.  And they’ve never heard about it because Mattel is most certainly keeping a lid on it.  And I believe that people are dying, needlessly, because Mattel and who even knows who else!, isn’t forthcoming, nor is any agency, the CDC, nor governmental or regulatory agency making them be forthcoming with notifying the public.  Us. You. Me. We people.  I believe people are dying and they simply don't have to.  Just because the Mattel's of the planet don't tell, doesn't mean we have to get really really sick or die because they made the bad choice of not telling.  So I will.  Tell.  And ask each of us, you, me, we people to take more involved charge of our own health and wellness.  We count.  Everyday decisions count.  Please.. Help.  Tell absolutely everybody you can about toxic poisoning and the serious lack of toxin-free zones left on the entire planet. Us, you, me, we.    

Whew.  Okay.  Did that all make sense to you?   And, please remember that you count in this.  YOU.  Even if you’ve never even been anywhere near this particular toxic-poisoned-location.  No matter where you live, work, vacation, go to school.  Anywhere.  Anywhere in the world – we have just one planet after all.  YOU can help all the people everywhere who just may have been toxic poisoned and maybe don’t even know about it!!  Next time you see your doctor and healthcare people, YOU can tell them about the actual likelihood that maybe, just maybe, they might want to add looking into toxic poisoning as a viable and quite possible diagnosis for each and every one of us - pets too. 

You count.  We count. 

If we all do this, every time we go for any kind of lab tests, xrays, mammograms, cholesterol tests, flu shots, doctor appointments, alternate healthcare, massage, yoga, dermatology appointment…. you get the picture.  Anything health-related.  You can help to make sure everyone knows.  And in the long run, if everyone knows, well… maybe it won’t happen anymore.  Because of what we’re doing now by making sure simply everyone knows.  Wouldn’t that be good.  So, you can help in making sure that everyone knows.

Because Mattel is the corporate champion of “divide and conquer” aka ..  Just waiting for us all to die off.  It  seems  that way… see Legal note again on the “seems”. 

So,

It is my mission to make sure no company anywhere can be allowed to get away with this kind of thing any more.

It is my mission to make sure that EVERYBODY will KNOW… everywhere… for all of us.

It is my mission especially for all of us to KNOW about toxic poisoning and that it DOES affect each and every one of us each day -- that we can simply become more involved and participant in our own health and wellness, that we can make decisions right now today to take steps now to improve our wellness levels in light of toxins being in our daily lives, and, that we can make better daily decisions in the care of our water and our planet.  They will run out you know.  If we don't make solid decisions now.  They will simply run out.

          This particular toxic poisoning event (because, surely, this isn't the only place this kind of thing has happened!) – the thumbnail sketch:

Mattel, Inc – Portland (Oregon)
    who also owns Fisher-Price Toys

    formerly known as:      Tyco Manufacturing

                                          View-Master Ideal Group Inc

                                           View-Master Manufacturing

                                           G.A.F.  (General Aniline & ANSCO Film)

                                           Sawyer’s

NOTE:  If you or anyone you may know of, EVER worked for any of these names at this Mattel location outside of Portland, Oregon, please let them know about The Toxic Poisoning!  They may be sick and need to know what may have caused it! so they can make the best choices on how to find wellness!

This Mattel location here has FOUR highly toxic chemicals, not just one!:

Tri-chloro-ethylene  (TCE) -
                   Now banned in Sweden...  AND...  Now outlawed in California!!
NOTE:  The levels of just this TCE turn out to be the highest levels ever - anywhere - according to the CDC (Atlanta's U.S. Centers for Disease Control)!!!

Tri-poly-ethylene  (TPE)

Methyline Chloride

and…  last but not least!........Cyanide !

This Toxic Poisoning seems to have been happening over a period of approximately 50+ years…since about  1949-1950.  Did you live or work near here in all that time?

There is one PhD is endeavoring to prove that the length of time a person was exposed may not matter at all !….that “quite possibly only one day is/was enough” - !!    Can you think of anyplace you drank the water (a drink of water, water in coffee/tea/hot chocolate, water used in making soup, in the water used to make any food you eat) or breathed the air (*) that may have been a toxic site?? 

(*) A Ph.D. told us last year that [quote] "the water is/has been just as toxic as the water" because of the "plume" where the toxins are also airborne or have aerated.  Odorless.  Colorless.  No smell.  No taste.  Deadly all the same.

Then, here’s where you come in again. 

YOU … PERSONALLY …  OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE … may have been “exposed”, “affected”, “a victim of”, etc., because it’s also in the water, the ground, and in the air.  And let’s not forget for a moment all the thousands of people who worked at just this location over all those years.  It  is(oops)  "seems"  purely criminal that NOW ALMOST SEVEN YEARS after Mattel discovered just the first of the FOUR highly toxic chemicals (they were all discovered basically over the same summer-1998), that even people who have lived here all their lives STILL HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.   And they’re sick.  This could well be why.   Duh.

Y’know, if Mattel is so darned innocent, why are they keeping such a lid on it, huh?

I don’t know.  And, frankly, life’s too short to chase the likes of Mattel.  Karma, people.  Karma will happen ..and when least expected.  As for me, I just want to make sure people, and doctors, know about this! -- and that it could be YOU just about anywhere too!

We all can count with certainty that there are other sites around the country and around the world much maybe like this one.  Where the companies maybe haven’t been forthcoming enough to tell anyone, or where the companies maybe cleaned up their sites by sloughing it off into the waterways or the ground or the air, or …  well, who knows.  And that’s really the whole point isn’t it.  Who knows. 

WE SHOULD ALL TAKE ‘THE ENVIRONMENT’ A WHOLE LOT MORE SERIOUSLY… PERSONALLY !     no matter where we live.

So.  This has been the “short story”, for now (updates to follow), about what I call “The Toxic Poisoning”.  I’ll be updating the information, and filling in with more detail, telling more of the/my Anecdotal story… but at least this will get you started.

One other thing, if I may.   You count.  We each count.

If I don’t make it, as so many others haven’t… please…

will you promise to not let any corporation get away with this.

Make sure everyone knows about this kind of thing - everywhere.

Make sure everyone knows that there’s four toxic chemicals at this site, not just one. One biologist told me a while ago that any one of these toxins "would drop an elephant at a dead run" and doesn't know how anyone could come through.  Decisions, friends.  Personal.  Daily.  Decisions.  Take charge of your own wellness.

Make sure doctors and healthcare providers take this seriously -- the life you save may truly turn out to be your own!  Tell everyone about this!!

Make sure you find out where toxic sites are in your area.  And what they turned them into now!  A housing development, subdivision, shopping mall -  yes, shopping mall!  And, yes, even schools.

Make sure people everywhere know.

You count.  make it so.
