New beginning

After nearly eighteen years of medical research entwined with environmental concerns, I've decided to try writing a blog. Topics will vary as I feel compelled to create each new essay. Timing will vary, as my interests range widely. Autism, environmental toxins, loss of habitat, indigenous epistemology, western civilization, and excesses of economic growth are among the issues to be contemplated as time allows.

Teresa,

Very nicely done. Will be back to read more.

Thanks,

Chris
PS MORE PICTURES PLEASE
Such a nice way to "get away".

So glad you are doing this Teresa.

I listen to the Thom Hartmann show alot and he often eludes to the growing influence that media, beaurocratic (sp?) and corporate powers have to control what people hear and believe.

I am reminded of what we as parents of autistic kids see everyday when we try to convince others to simply open their eyes. Hell, I can't even get my 74 year old mother to demand a mercury free flu shot. The kool-aid is plentiful - I believe you can use your talents to persuade some to drink from a more pure source, in whatever topic you choose.

    Finding: "On average, for each 1,000 lb of environmentally released mercury, there was a 43% increase in the rate of special education services and a 61% increase in the rate of autism. The association between environmentally released mercury and special education rates were fully mediated by increased autism rates."

    Finding: Autism is associated with levels of various toxic metals and other pollutants.

    An overview of our consumption of "stuff". By the 5 minute mark, toxic molecules are addressed - in their context from resource extraction all the way to disposal. Highly recommended!
