NHS workers urged to be alert for sepsis and treat within an hour

The NHS is being urged to be alert for the warning signs of sepsis, potentially fatal blood poisoning, and to treat adults or children within an hour.


New draft guidance to all health professionals, from GPs and practice nurses to hospital doctors, warns that patients can become very sick very rapidly and urges speedy review and treatment.


Professor Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) which has produced the guidance, said: “Severe symptoms can develop in sepsis very quickly. If high-risk patients are not identified and treated promptly, people can be left with debilitating problems. In the worst cases, they may die.


“This quality standard highlights priorities in the continued fight to improve sepsis care. We know from recent case reviews that there are inconsistencies in how people’s symptoms are assessed in different settings. More can be done to provide rapid treatment.”


GPs, paramedics, A&E staff and other health professionals should know the symptoms to look for. They can include a mottled or ashen appearance, blueness about the skin, lips and tongue and a rash that does not go away when the skin is pressed.


Those at risk need to be seen by senior hospital staff and given antibiotics and fluids within an hour, says the guidance. If it will take longer than an hour to get to hospital, GPs, practice nurses and ambulance staff can give the life-saving treatment.


There are concerns that cases of sepsis, which can be caused by an infection in various parts of the body, are being missed. In 2015, an inquiry found that 40% of patients with sepsis who arrived in A&E had not been reviewed by senior doctors quickly enough. There were also avoidable delays in giving patients intravenous antibiotics in nearly a third of cases (29%).


“Every death from sepsis is a tragedy, yet too often the warning signs are missed – we need to get far better at spotting sepsis across the NHS and this advice shows how vital it is for clinicians to treat life-threatening symptoms as soon as possible,” said health secretary Jeremy Hunt.


“Our relentless drive to raise awareness of this deadly condition, as well as the tireless efforts of campaigners and families who have lost loved ones, has seen a million leaflets and posters already distributed to GP clinics, hospitals and other public places – helping raise awareness to fight against this devastating condition.”


Julie Mellor, the Parliamentary and Health Service ombudsman, said: “We are pleased Nice has produced this guidance following our recommendation to ensure faster diagnosis and treatment of sepsis, ultimately saving thousands of lives. We have seen too many cases of families who have lost their loved ones to this condition due to delays and missed warning signs.”

NHS crisis: 40% of hospitals issue alert in first week of new year

More than 40% of hospitals had to declare an alert in the first week of January because they were experiencing major problems caused by having too many patients and too few spare beds.


Figures released by NHS England on Friday also show that 32 people have died from flu so far this winter and scores of others had to be treated in intensive care last week alone.


The data reveals that hospitals in England came under huge pressure in the first week of the new year. Serious levels of overcrowding worsened to levels generally regarded as dangerously high.


Overall, 95% of hospital beds were full from 2-8 January, up from 91% the week before.


A&E units became so busy they had to divert patients to other emergency departments 39 times, slightly fewer than the 42 a week earlier.


Bed shortages were exacerbated by outbreaks of norovirus, the diarrhoea and vomiting bug, forcing hospital managers to close 933 beds that were occupied and another 164 that were empty, making a total of 1,197 – almost one in 100 of the NHS’s total supply of 130,000 beds.


In that week, 58 of England’s 153 acute hospital trusts had to go on to what NHS England calls an Opel 3 alert and eight on to the highest form of alert, Opel 4. Both mean trusts are struggling to cope with the weight of demand.


Both take their name from NHS England’s Operating Pressures Escalation Levels framework. It sets out what steps trusts should take to manage the large numbers of patients.


The 58 trusts that went on Opel 3 alert did so because, according to guidance form NHS England, they were “experiencing major pressures compromising patient flow” – their ability to get patients in and out quickly enough – and needed to take “urgent actions” to keep functioning.


Eight went on Opel 4, also known as black alert, after becoming so stretched they were “unable to deliver comprehensive care” and there was “increased potential for patient care and safety to be compromised”.


A total of 375,687 people sought help at an A&E unit in the first week of January, up from 371,599 the week before. However, the number of people who needed to be admitted as an emergency fell from 92,480 to 89,712.


The Guardian reported this week that close to 30 trusts had been forced to declare a black alert since Monday, suggesting that already severe pressure on the NHS intensified this week.


NHS England has warned that the current spell of freezing weather could trigger a rise in the number of people falling seriously ill and also interfere with the running of services.


“This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services,” it said.


Prof Paul Cosford, Public Health England’s director for health protection and medical director, said people should keep their homes heated to at least 18C (64F), wear lots of thin layers rather than fewer thicker ones, and wear footwear with a good grip to cope with the snow and ice in many part of the country.

Back To College Concussion Alert: A single Season Of Get in touch with Sports activities Damages Brain

As children and higher school and university students head back into education for fall sports, new research provides a difficult warning. A single season of enjoying football or one more speak to sport triggers brain harm irrespective of whether a player truly received a concussion or even had indications of  injury, says new research published in this month’s Journal of Neurotrauma.


Researchers fitted 45 gamers from one particular neighborhood higher school football staff with helmet sensors and followed them in the course of the 2012 taking part in season. The players were given MRI scans at the beginning and end of the season. Then technology acknowledged as the Head Influence Telemetry Method (HITS) recorded impacts detected by the helmet sensors and tallied a risk weighted cumulative exposure (RWE) for every player.


The final results showed that white matter adjustments and abnormalities had been detected that immediately correlated with the amount and power of impacts registered by the helmet sensors.

It’s crucial to note that in the course of the time period studied, none of the gamers suffered an actual clinical concussion or significant damage and did not automatically demonstrate any indicators that there was a difficulty. In other phrases, these modifications have been invisible.


The examine adds to a expanding physique of research exhibiting that playing speak to sports activities final results in brain alterations independent of symptoms, noted author Alexander K. Powers, MD, of Wake Forest University.


Powers is on a self-described mission to wake dad and mom and the public up to the danger of brain injury to little ones, teenagers and younger adults from participating in get in touch with sports activities. “It’s challenging to imagine your youngster as a disabled, middle-aged guy, but repeated concussions could place a kid at chance for such crippling conditions as early onset dementia, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological ailments that call for neurosurgery that no 1 needs to think about on the sidelines at a football game,” he writes, in an article for Wake Forest Baptist Health.


Powers cites statistics from the Centers for Condition Control and Prevention displaying that 135,000 children amongst five and 18 are taken care of for sports-associated brain injuries in emergency departments every 12 months. “Most of these injuries are concussions, and the children recover,” he writes. “But the prognosis for youngsters who suffer repeated concussions, even mild ones, is unknown.”


The study, titled Abnormal White Matter Integrity Relevant to Head Affect Exposure in a Season of Large College Varsity Football, was published on the web in the Journal of Neurotrauma on July 14th after being presented at the 82nd Yearly Scientific Meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) in April.

United kingdom heatwave alert: how do you maintain awesome when temperatures soar?

South-east England could reach temperatures in the reduced 30s Celsius (mid-80s Farenheit) by Friday, whilst other parts of the country and Wales are probably to see temperatures in the mid to higher 20s. Met Workplace forecasters have issued a heatwave alert for this weekend, as temperatures soar to their highest of the year.


What tips do you have for coping with these climate situations?


In the course of the summertime heatwave in northern France in August 2003, 3 weeks of unprecedented higher temperatures brought on 15,000 deaths, specifically between older men and women.


In England that yr, in excess of 2,000 much more individuals died in the course of the 10-day August heatwave than in the course of the exact same time period of any of the prior five many years.


This yr the world seasoned the hottest Might globally given that information started in 1880. The heat, combined with more and more specific predictions of an El Niño weather occasion, means that specialists are now speculating whether or not 2014 could turn out to be the hottest 12 months on record.


Some ideas for maintaining cool:



  • Remain out of the sun between 11-3pm, when temperatures are at their hottest.

  • Drink cold drinks regularly and steer clear of tea, coffee and alcohol.


  • Pull down the shades on your windows when it really is quite hot.

  • If you have a fan place it nearer the window so it can pull colder air into the area.

  • If you need to have to amazing down swiftly, put on damp outfits. The heat from your entire body will result in the water in your clothing to evaporate, cooling you down. This might be frowned upon on your morning commute.


  • Counter to well-liked belief, the colour of your clothes proves of minor advantage when keeping you amazing. Loose-fitting garments, even so, are essential.

  • Fan your face.

Heatwave alert as temperatures soar to high of the year in England and Wales

Summer heatwave turns London into tropical urban island

The Met Workplace has issued a heatwave alert as temperatures soar to their highest of the 12 months this weekend.


The south-east could attain the minimal 30s Celsius (mid-80s Farenheit) by Friday, whilst other elements of England and Wales are likely to see temperatures in the mid to large 20s.


The yellow degree 2 alert – triggered when there is a is 60% or over threat of threshold temperatures currently being reached in one particular or much more areas on at least two consecutive days and the intervening night – has been issued for Friday to Sunday. The East Midlands, West Midlands, east England, the south-east and London are the areas most most likely to experience heatwave conditions.


“There is a 60% probability of heatwave situations among 8am on Friday and 8am on Sunday in parts of England,” stated the Met Office. “The highest temperatures are very likely on Friday (great confidence) then a very humid night to comply with. Heavy thunderstorms in eastern places on Saturday will lead to somewhat decrease greatest temperatures, but it will still be quite humid.”


The likelihood of thunderstorms comes from very warm and humid air moving up from the Spanish plains to the Uk. If this meets cooler air from the Atlantic, the warm air can be forced swiftly upwards to generate thunderstorms. The Met Office describes the circumstances as Spanish plume.


Forecaster Helen Roberts stated most locations in England and Wales would truly feel sizzling and humid, with temperatures generally all around or increased than 25C (77F). She mentioned there was the possible for thundery downpours alongside the sizzling, sticky climate on Friday and Saturday.


“Most men and women won’t appreciate these situations,” Roberts explained. “It can be tough sleeping during the sizzling, humid nights. Though it most likely is shorts and T-shirt weather, you will want a brolly at the exact same time.”


Excessive exposure to high temperatures can be unsafe. During the summertime heatwave in northern France in August 2003, three weeks of unprecedented high temperatures triggered 15,000 deaths, particularly amongst older men and women.


In England that year, more than 2,000 more people died throughout the 10-day August heatwave than during the same time period of any of the earlier five many years.


The very first heatwave program for England was published in 2004 in response to the deaths of 2003. A heat wellness watch system now operates in England and Wales from 1 June to 15 September each and every 12 months. The technique has 4 ranges primarily based on threshold greatest daytime and minimal nighttime temperatures. These thresholds vary by area, but an regular temperature is 30C (86F) by day and 15C (59F) overnight.


Because 2003, the Uk has observed a significant heatwave in 2006, when there were an estimated 680 much more deaths in contrast with comparable intervals in prior years, and in 2009, when there were around 300 excess summer deaths.


This 12 months the world experienced the hottest May globally given that records began in 1880. The record heat, mixed with increasingly specified predictions of an El Niño, implies authorities are now speculating whether or not 2014 could turn into the hottest yr on record.


Data published by the US Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration last month showed the common land and ocean surface temperature for May was .74C over the 20th-century common of 14.8C (58.6F), producing it the highest on record.

Birthing pool alert as little one gets to be severely ill with Legionnaires" condition

“As a precaution, we advise that heated birthing pools, filled in advance of labour and in which the temperature is then maintained by use of a heater and pump, are not used in the home setting, even though we investigate even more and until finally definitive tips on disinfection and security is offered.”


The illness is a extreme kind of pneumonia which impacts all around 350 to 400 men and women every single yr in England and Wales. The bulk of circumstances involve older individuals.


Despite the fact that there had been two situations of birthing pool infections reported in Italy and Japan many years ago, it is the 1st reported situation of Legionnaires’ condition linked to a pool in England.


There are close to 10 firms which provide the certain pools and each have in between two and 14, which they loan out.


The pools are generally delivered around a fortnight ahead of the expected delivery date and filled from the domestic hot water provide. The temperature is then maintained by a pump and heater until finally labour and delivery.


PHE explained the majority of birthing pools utilised at property are filled from domestic scorching water techniques at the time of labour and these do not pose the very same risk and are not included in the alert.


Midwives and every neighborhood authority in the country are being contacted to see if they use the certain pools provided by any of the firms that supply them.


Louise Silverton, director for midwifery at the Royal School of Midwives, explained: “Females arranging birth at property employing a classic pool that is filled when the woman is in labour or employing a fixed pool in an NHS unit are not affected by this alert and must not be concerned.


“Birthing pools in hospitals are topic to stringent infection management procedures and monitoring. Home birthing pools filled throughout labour come with disposable liners and are only in area for a relatively quick time period, reducing opportunity for bacterial development.”


Legionnaires’ ailment is incredibly rare in young children, with only a single situation in youngsters aged up to 9 in England amongst 1990 and 2011.


NHS information about the issue says that most men and women make a full recovery but “in some situations it can lead to even more, daily life-threatening, problems”.


Legionnaires’ condition can be “specifically significant” in the elderly and “immunocompromised” patients, which includes young infants, mentioned Professor Nigel Brown, president of the Society for Standard Microbiology.


He added: “Legionella is common in the setting and a single of the factors why air conditioning programs have to be routinely serviced to remove bacterial create-up.”

Skin cancer alert issued as number of cases soars

Package holiday

The large increase in package holidays to sunny European destinations has contributed to the rise in malignant malanoma. Photograph: Sean Smith for the Guardian




Prices of malignant melanoma, the most unsafe form of skin cancer, are 5 instances higher in the United kingdom than they had been in the 1970s, new figures demonstrate.


Much more than 13,000 individuals are now developing the disease every 12 months compared with about one,800 in 1975. Incidence fee has shot up from just more than 3 per a hundred,000 of the population forty many years ago to about 17 per a hundred,000.


The dramatic rise is partly down to the huge improve in package deal holidays to sunny European locations, a boom in sunbed use and the trend for a “healthy” tan, according to Cancer Study Uk which released the figures.


Malignant melanoma is now the fifth most widespread cancer in the Uk and more than 2,000 folks die from the condition every single year.


Sunburn is recognized to boost the risk of skin cancer, specially in men and women with pale skin or massive numbers of moles or freckles.


Nick Ormiston-Smith, head of statistics at Cancer Analysis United kingdom, stated: “Because the mid-1970s, malignant melanoma incidence charges in the United kingdom have elevated much more quickly than any of today’s 10 most frequent cancers.


“Holidays in scorching climates have turn into more cost-effective and sunbeds are much more broadly available since the 1970s. But we know in excess of-exposure to UV (ultraviolet) rays from the sun or sunbeds is the major trigger of skin cancer. This signifies, in a lot of situations, the illness can be prevented, and is why it truly is vital to get into excellent sun safety routines, no matter whether at home or abroad.


“The very good news for these that are diagnosed is that survival for the illness is amongst the highest for any cancer far more than eight in 10 men and women will now survive it.”


Cancer Research Uk is campaigning for the third yr to encourage individuals to appreciate the sun safely, in partnership with Nivea Sun. The campaign provides basic recommendations aimed at helping individuals protect their skin this summer time. Apart from steering clear of sunburn, other suggestions involves investing time in the shade, covering up and making use of a minimal factor 15 sunscreen.


Red haired and fair skinned mother-of-two Amanda Crosland, 43, from Leeds was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2001, in spite of covering up in the sun. She said: “When I noticed a new mole on my left calf, I knew it was safest to get it checked out by the medical doctor. Spotting it early meant I had a profitable operation to eliminate the cancer prior to it spread.


“I have usually been mindful to seem after my skin, but I do remember getting sunburnt as a lady. I nonetheless take pleasure in acquiring out in the sun, but now make confident the children and I are appropriately protected: hats, T-shirts, and sunscreen, so we can appreciate the sun securely in the garden or at the seaside. All you need to have is a bit of widespread sense.”


Caroline Cerny, senior overall health campaigns manager at Cancer Study United kingdom, said: “Every person loves acquiring out and about and enjoying the summer time sun. It truly is crucial to get care not to burn up – sunburn is a clear signal that the DNA in your skin cells has been damaged and, in excess of time, this can lead to skin cancer.


“When the sun is powerful, pop on a T-shirt, invest some time in the shade and use a sunscreen with at least SPF15 and good UVA safety.”

Supplement Alert: Antioxidants Might Protect Cancer Cells Instead Of Protecting Us From Them

Troubling new analysis suggests that antioxidants—among our most cherished and heavily marketed of supplements—could be doing precisely the opposite of what they are marketed for. Alternatively of guarding towards cancer, antioxidant supplements may defend cancer cells from our body’s defenses.


A study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine displays that in mice that previously have cancer, antioxidant supplements lessen action of a gene called p53, the function of which is to decimate defective cells, including cancer cells. With p53 tuned down, the quantity of tumors in the mice tripled, as did their development fee and aggressiveness.


Antioxidants are a assortment of chemicals that “mop up” totally free radicals, the byproducts of cell metabolism that are also reactive for their (and our) very own good. Cost-free radical reactivity in the physique can injury or destroy healthful cells, and in some circumstances catalyze cell mutations that become cancerous.



Day 51: Vitamin E

Vitamin E (Photo credit: theogeo)




Although there’s no query that antioxidants derived from meals sources play a essential role in trying to keep free radicals in check out, the latest examine calls into question high ranges of antioxidant supplementation. Between the most well-liked antioxidant dietary supplements are Nutritional vitamins E and C,  and beta-carotene, the pre-cursor kind of Vitamin A.


The unfortunate mice in this examine have been given lung cancer and then handled with Vitamin E and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an antioxidant purported to treat persistent obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exercise of the p53 gene in the mice decreased as the size, variety and aggressiveness of the lung tumors increased. The researchers employed a method known as “RNA sequencing” to deconstruct the effect of the antioxidants on p53, and concluded that Vitamin E and NAC each contributed to the gene’s ineffectiveness against lung cancer.


What’s even far more troubling is proof from the study suggesting that antioxidants have a stronger effect on p53 early in the tumor development cycle. Quoting from the review: “…antioxidants may accelerate the development of early tumors or precancerous lesions in higher-threat populations such as smokers and individuals with persistent obstructive pulmonary condition who obtain NAC to relieve mucus production.”


As with all animal research, it is essential to note that these results have yet to be studied in healthier human subjects, and there’s nothing in this study suggesting that antioxidant supplementation leads to cancer in humans.


But, at the quite least, the study does raise a red flag about taking massive doses of antioxidant dietary supplements to ward off cancer. And for men and women already in a high-chance group, such as smokers or these with a family members historical past of cancer, this study signifies that sticking with a wholesome diet rich in antioxidant sources (this kind of as blueberries, apples and green tea) and ditching the dietary supplements might not be such a bad notion.

Red Alert: Engineered Drought Murdering California

How To Murder A State


A state being murdered?  How can that be? It is indeed very hard for most normal people to grasp the evil intent of those at the top levels of the power structure in America, and now in most countries of the world.  For those that have overcome the psychological reluctance to look at such a reality, I will explain to you how this particular crime against humanity is being carried out.   First imagine that you have the technology and the will to set in motion a multi-billion dollar project to wipe out the water supply to all of California, and as a “side effect,” poison the soil so plants and trees can no longer survive.  This will help accomplish many aspects of your larger agenda of consolidated control of the population, in this case through food and water scarcity which justifies government control to further micromanage our lives “for our safety.”   In the meantime, you can just blame nature for the killer drought, so the public never realizes what is going on.  To make sure no one notices that the natural soil pH is changing and trees and crops are being poisoned by aluminum in the soil (which would implicate the jets which are spraying the aluminum every day), just stop all official government testing for aluminum, and make sure nothing of the kind is covered on the media.


Most of the public cannot imagine that any such coordinated crime against humanity could be real.  They see what appears to be incompetence and disorganization among our so-called rulers, who seem incapable of master minding everyday projects, let alone any such global assault.  But this is because they do not see our real rulers.  They see only their low-level puppets, who appear to fight amongst themselves over trivia and often act like idiots.  My own research over decades, like that of others who have done the work to investigate, indicates that those in the top positions of power are focused, coordinated, malevolent and have passed on their agenda and its goals from one generation to the next over hundreds or thousands of years.  At one time, I traced them back under various names for at least four thousand years.  Fritz Springmeier’s “Bloodlines of the Illuminati” (http://www.amazon.com/Bloodlines-Illuminati-Fritz-Springmeier/dp/0972792929) tells some of the story for those interested in at least a partial history of those at higher levels in the actual power structure.


Without Water, California Agriculture Dies


What matters much more than the perpetrators’  history, though, is what they are doing now, and what we can do to increase the chances of our own survival and that of all life on our planet.  In the case of the engineered drought, we need to understand that the lack of rain this season in California is not natural.  California usually gets almost all of its rain from late fall through the first half of spring.  The water is stored in reservoirs throughout the state, and in the form of the snow pack and soil moisture in the sierra mountains, to a lesser extent the coast range mountains, and in the mountains at the northern end of the state.  This stored water supports an agriculture industry that supplies much of the fresh food for America, mostly from deep valley soils that are among the richest in the world.


The storms that fill those reservoirs and provide the mountain snow come off the Pacific Ocean every winter, in the form of counter-clockwise rotating cyclonic systems that move eastward from the coast to the sierra mountains, dropping abundant rain or snow as they move east.  Our lives depend on this pattern.


Aerosol Particles Can Re-locate Storms


Tiny aerosol particles, whether they come from a natural source like a volcanic eruption or from an artificial source such as the payloads dropped by planes engaged in geoengineering activities (“chemtrails”), are well known to decrease or totally eliminate rainfall from clouds (http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2007/pr-slowwind-012407.html).  In this case they delay its fall so long that the eastern part of the country is now receiving what would normally have been the California winter rain.  The tiny particles make this happen because the water vapor needs to condense around solid particles in order to for the vapor to gather into larger drops  heavy enough to fall to Earth as rain.


The chemtrail planes carry nano-sized (extremely small) particles of aluminum and other toxic heavy metals along with biologicals like viruses and “mystery fibers,” etc.  When these tiny particles enter the clouds, they supply too many nuclei to the water vapor, and the drops that form around them are too numerous and small to become rain.  They continue riding the west-to-east wind across America and finally gather into big enough drops to become rain or snow.  California is thus in a parched condition, with disaster fast approaching, and the public lulled to sleep by the criminal mainstream media reporting on the drought as a natural occurrence that just happens once in a while by itself.  But then, if you are informed, you know that today’s mainstream media in America is the owned and controlled mouthpiece of a few huge corporations (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/giants/), and its job is to follow corporate orders, and tell you what to believe.  Its function has nothing at all to do with telling you the truth.  Relying on it for your information on what is going on in the world is a huge mistake, unless of course you really don’t want to know.


Contrails vs. Chemtrails: What’s Really the Difference?


Once you know how to spot chemtrail activity in the sky over your head, it becomes truly amazing to you that most people have no idea such blatant activity is going on at all.  The basics are simple.  Traditionally, jet aircraft leave very little visible trails behind them.  Water vapor comes out of their engines in the exhaust, and can be visible from the ground as a very short white exhaust trail of condensed water vapor (“contrail” for short).  If you hold your fingers up to a trail like this from the ground, you can “measure” it and it seems to be maybe an inch or two long.  Or sometimes it’s not visible at all.  But if the plane is spraying solid particulate matter, the appearance is different.  Solid particles, even really small ones, don’t just disappear into the surrounding air.  Instead, they usually stay visible, reflecting light as they fan out, and can stay visible for hours, sometimes all day.  The length of these solid trails varies, and some more recent ones become similar to natural overcast fairly quickly, but often they can stretch from horizon to horizon, all across the sky, slowly spreading out to appear like silver-gray overcast or like normal cloud cover.  When it was discovered that these solid trails were composed of various metals and chemicals, the term “chemtrails” was born.   The difference in appearance from the ground of contrails and chemtrails is obvious.  One disappears quickly, the other hangs around or “persists,” often for many hours, and it spreads and stays visible, usually getting mistaken for normal cloud cover after a while, especially if more than one plane is spraying in the same area, increasing the coverage.  You might have heard the long trails called “persistent contrails,” but this is an oxymoron (self-contradicting term), because contrails are made of water vapor, and do not persist like solid particles do.


As soon as you understand the difference in appearance, you can spot chemtrails easily.  In the 1990′s, they started appearing over large areas of the U.S., and have now spread to most parts of the world.  The overall chemtrails project is huge and massively funded by governments and international corporations, coordinated internationally from higher power structure levels that the public believes do not exist.  At this point, even with no cooperation from any level of government in the U.S., and with the media and mainstream “scientists” making fun of anyone that believes chemtrails are real as a conspiracy theorist and a crazy person, a lot of serious investigation into this phenomenon has taken place.   Private labs paid by private citizens have done tests on soil, water and air samples in heavily sprayed areas, showing very high accumulations of toxic metals, mostly aluminum, barium and strontium compounds, along with other sophisticated chemical ingredients, fibers, viral material and more.  Patents have been discovered, mostly belonging to government and/or corporate entities, for the very metal compounds found in the samples that have been tested (http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/links-to-geoengineering-patents/).  Clear photographic evidence of the spraying in progress, from nozzles, not from engine exhaust,  is now available.  Whistle blowers from inside the military and its contractors have been willing to describe what they know and have done as part of this project (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAxXyMAmBMs).  The debate over whether or not the chemtrails spraying is real, is over.


The Geoengineering “Scientists”


In spite of this fact, the media and corrupted “scientists” and other government spokespeople continue to label the belief that this spraying is going on as nonsense (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XGxfIg78ok ), saying the government denies it, so it is “highly unlikely” any such thing is happening.  At this point, though, they have begun admitting that geoengineering might be necessary in the future to fight global warming.   The idea is that the metals reflect the sun’s heat away from the Earth – at present time about 22% of the normal sun’s rays no longer reach the Earth (http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/geoengineering-robbing-rain-and-fueling-fires/).  This should concern us, to put it mildly, but again, that is only a “possibility for the future,” which they call by the respectable term “geoengineering,” giving it an aura of scientific depth and value.  But it is just chemtrails by another name.  I understand that at times we may need to call it by their official name if we need to converse with these so-called scientists or others involved in this massive crime.  But it bothers me personally to confer on it such a high-sounding official label.  Something like calling a carjacker who wants to murder your family a “vehicle entry engineer.”  Those involved in these crimes and their apologist fake scientists are just your run of the mill mass murderers, and in my mind should be seen for what they are.


Meanwhile in the real world, massive trails are often so heavy and numerous that they can change a totally clear sky to one that appears to be  obscured by clouds.  Except there are no clouds, just chemtrails.  Two days ago I had the opportunity to watch as thin horizon to horizon trails gradually spread out over a totally clear sky, within a few hours transforming a clear day to one of total overcast as unsuspecting people going about their business just considered it to be cloudy weather.

When the toxic heavy metals like aluminum and others in the spray build up in soil, they gradually make normal plant growth impossible.  This is really bad if you are a human being, because even if you eat mostly meat, your diet is 100% dependent on plants.  Monsanto and its allies happen to be developing GMO crops that will resist soil aluminum that would kill normal plants (http://farmwars.info/?p=2927).  What fortunate timing for them!  They are also working with universities like Cornell and others, developing GMO trees to replace forest trees.  The GMO trees will contain pesticides and kill any bug that bites them.  The poison then can move through the rest of the food chain, ending up one way or another (along with the heavy weedkiller concentrations used to grow GMO crops) in you and me.


But the most immediate threat, in California, and for anyone that eats fresh food from Calfornia, is the blocking of storms.


Time Running Out For The Rain


At the time of this writing, only about one half of California’s normal rainy season for this year remains.  If the chemtrail spraying were to stop now, as soon as low pressure is off the California coast, rain can be expected. That does not, unfortunately mean that it would happen immediately, as there is now strong evidence that “high pressure domes” similar to the one over California at the present time, can be artificially created with the HAARP systems as elements of weather warfare, and the HAARP system in Alaska is no doubt ultimately under the control of the same high level rulers that direct the chemtrails programs.  Suffice it to say for now that in addition to any problems caused by HAARP-generated high pressure ridges or domes, normal storms moving in during the first half of this rainy season have been blocked by chemtrails, and the chemtrails responsible have showed up on satellite weather photos when this is occurring  (at the time of this writing, it is the high pressure dome that is predominant).  But again, most of the public is utterly unaware this is going on.  If it is not stopped in time for rain before the normal California summer dry spell, consequences will be more serious, so there is no time to waste.


Start Your Education And Look UP


Everyone should become fully educated on chemtrails, or geoengineering, whichever name you prefer to use.  A good way to start is to get a copy of the video “Look Up.”  It is actually an educational video plus an interactive tool to help alert your so-called government representatives, sending them pictures of what is happening every day in the sky, that could become hard for even government officials to ignore, if they receive millions of such pictures and demands for action, from us.  Frequent the web sites www.geoengineringwatch.org and www.globalskywatch.com, both of which are sources of extensive backup information on all that we are discussing here.  Spread the word on talk shows.  Since most big talk shows on major media censor their calls, don’t give away your subject to the censor.  Let people know what is going on.  Don’t be dissuaded by arrogant talk show hosts or government officials who have a vested interest in hiding the truth.  It’s too important to be affected by them.  Write letters to the editor of your local newspaper, and use any other media you can to let everyone know we are under air attack, and it has to stop.


Help Raise Money For  A Mass Awareness Campaign


Second, there will be a campaign started soon to raise money to place advertising on every appropriate medium of exposure, so that people will begin to fully absorb the connection between the spraying and the drought, and above all that this is NOT a natural event.  The campaign will seek money from supporters who can afford to donate without endangering their own survival.  Large donations will be especially needed if success is to be achieved quickly, before the current rainy season ends.  Others can help by spreading awareness and perhaps locating those in a position to help financially.  Without all of our participation and help, California as an abundant producer of our fresh food could be finished.  EVERYONE needs to know.  The warning should be in letters to the editor everywhere, every day.  It should be the subject of talk shows everywhere, every day.  Even the fake government “representatives” should be flooded with persistent phone calls and millions of emails demanding action.  This is as serious as an air raid with conventional bombs, and more so in many ways.  For example,  the entire atmosphere of the Earth is now full of toxic metals, and not one more of these malicious flights should be allowed in the air.  Our exposure campaign is not expected to change the character of those perpetrating the spraying going on, but it might embarrass them into temporarily backing off on what they are doing long enough for California to get at least part of the normal season’s rain, making it less obvious what the spraying was about to accomplish.  The theory is that they are not ready yet for large numbers of us to know what they are doing.


Your Motive Matters


Take time to learn and act on these things.  Not because you have hatred for the ones responsible, many of whom are just badly deceived human beings themselves, but because of those you love too much to see our home planet destroyed.  Care about these things for your family, your fellow human beings, and the beautiful Earth that was given to us as our home while we are alive in these physical bodies.  Letting government and corporate criminals carry on this destruction while we remain oblivious and distracted is not a good plan.  Instead we need to begin all possible efforts to heal ourselves and the delicate web of life we should never have allowed to be poisoned, as if we considered it of no consequence.  Remember those you care about, and help spread the awareness and response we need, as your gift to them, and to yourself.  We are the ones that must make this change, and at this point, every day helps decide what the outcome will be.
