The Precautionary Principle

February 5th, 2010

Gary Kohls

The Precautionary Principle says that a culture, a business or an individual should err on the side of caution when new chemicals, technologies, food additives, drugs, etc are introduced into the environment – and only then when there is absolute proof that the substances are not dangerous to the environment, which includes humans, animals, the water supply, the soil and the air.

Therefore, when a new product that has the potential to adversely affect the environment (even years or decades into the future) is proposed for marketing, the Precautionary Principle demands that adequate and aggressive study by agencies totally independent of Big Business) be undertaken until it is proven to be totally safe.

So individuals, businesses and governments must withhold potentially carcinogenic, disease producing, neurotoxic or immune-destroying ingestible or inhalable commercial products are allowed into the grocery stores, eateries, pharmacies, hospitals, clinics until they have been absolutely proven to do no harm.

Can You Say Thalidomide, Vioxx, Amphetamine, Fen-Phen, Cocaine, Ritalin, Haldol?

Physicians swear some version of the Oath of Hippocrates at the time of being awarded their medical licenses. That oath basically says "first do no harm." Most physicians that I have known have tried to take that oath seriously, but soon, because of the frenzy of 1) trying to be maximally productive in order to pay off their $100,000 medical school debt, 2) trying to practice healing medicine while being double-booked by your clinic, 3) not being allowed adequate time to really evaluate a patient and 4) being seduced daily by Big Pharma's very attractive opposite-sex sales reps to try their particular company's latest new drug, soon find themselves falling to a lower standard of care, noting happily that everybody else seems to be doing it too.

Message to my physician colleagues and others interested in chronic illnesses:

This is a very important message, useful for research purposes, for physicians who still adhere to the Hippocratic Oath and the Precautionary Principle The Precautionary Principle, which says that a culture, a business or an individual should err on the side of caution when new chemicals, technologies, food additives, drugs, etc are introduced into the environment – and only then when there is absolute proof that the substances are not dangerous, even long term, to the environment, which includes humans, animals, the water supply, the soil and the air.

Electromagnetic radiation, including the non-ionizing forms like microwave cell phones and other wireless technologies, are highly likely hazardous to human health. In addition, synthetic chemicals, especially those that cross the Blood/Brain Barrier (ie, psych drugs, antiepileptic drugs and all those small molecule drugs that have CNS side effects) probably are mitochondrial toxins, the basis of many "diseases of unknown etiology" that actually are preventable if one only has the courage to identify them as iatrogenic.

Up until now, most of us physicians have been relatively unaware of (or have intentionally been kept in the dark about) iatrogenic mitochondrial diseases. Please, for the sake of our equally unaware and innocent patients, read the interchange below and access the youtube video mentioned.

Weapons-grade (US military-developed) sublethal mycoplasma infections (M. fermentans) and other infectious contaminants have now been found to be a common causes of neurodegenerative illnesses, autoimmune disorders and chronic fatigue syndromes (as one would expect if the mitochondria were sick and dying) that can cause the Gulf War Syndrome, and not just among Gulf War vets but also their families (Mycoplasma and viral contaminants are, after all, contagious).

This helps explain the huge increases in CNS illnesses such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (and autism and MS and other diseases) in Gulf vets and their families.

Recall the 100,000 Gulf War soldiers who were exposed to the infamous plume of smoke and inhalable dust that formed after a weapons dump (that contained saran gas and mycoplasma fermentans canistars and who knows what other military toxins) was exploded in Iraq.

All soldiers (many or whom were also exposed to "depleted" uranium in the blowing sand) deployed to the Persian Gulf were also were given dozens of shots, mostly unrecorded and unknown to the soldier (including the untested anthrax vaccine that had the toxic fat squalene as an adjuvant) plus other shots many, perhaps all, of which were contaminated with the immunotoxic substances thimerosal, aluminum, formaldehyde, etc). All of these immunotoxic substances are much worse for infants, or course, especially if given in multiple doses simultaneously.

It is now known that mycoplasma organisms (not just the weaponized forms) are common contaminants in commercial vaccines, which may account for the common adverse effects, especially the nervous system illnesses like Guillain-Barre and the Autistic Spectrum Disorders and chronic fatigue/encephalopathy that affected patients and their families are absolutely certain were caused by the inoculations.

For more information on the mycoplasma and contaminated vaccine issue, check out this compelling and frightening youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e2ljD3hkhg (for the extended 1 hour 17 minute scientific talk, check out www.snowshoes.com). Gary G. Kohls, MD

PS: And then, while you're at it check out the two videos below about the over-hyped H1N1 virus scare that showed that 85% or more of the so-called "confirmed" Swine flu cases were actually NOT Swine flu but were still reported as such, thus grossly over-estimating the incidence and panicking everybody into rushing to get their potentially toxic inoculations and, while they were at it, also their very costly ($10 per pill) and potentially toxic Tamiflu prophylaxis.

Note especiallly the second video at: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/cbs-reveals-that-swine-flu-cases-seriously-overestimated.aspx
