Dear Mr. Helliker I thought you might like to read an article entitled: New Healing Our World available - "Toxic Bodies: Endocrine Disruption and Our Imperiled Future" - Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 20:49:47 -0700 - From: "Jackie Alan Giuliano, Ph.D." <jackie@deepteaching.com>

Dear Friends,

Human and animal growth, sexual and social development, and metabolism are regulated by the endocrine system, a collection of glands that produce hormones vital for normal functions. Every day, these critical systems in our bodies are being corrupted by the billions of pounds of toxic substances in our air, earth and water.

I explore the critical problem being caused across the globe by endocrine disrupting chemicals in this week's Healing Our World commentary, "Toxic Bodies: Endocrine Disruption and Our Imperiled Future," found on the Environment News Service, hosted on LYCOS at http://www.ens.lycos.com/ens/jul2000/2000L-07-31g.html.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals are found in just about every member of modern society, including indigenous populations from the Arctic to the equator who are usually considered sheltered from the technological world. And because they remain in the body, these chemicals are passed from generation to generation. They are destroying our immune systems and causing mental retardation. Yet industries continue to pollute and legislators do little to stop them. Learn about this issue and share your ideas about how to stop this devastating cycle.

Take care and I wish you and your family peace,

Jackie

Well Mr. Helliker, You do have an interesting name, and your "registered" POISONS are certainly doing an excellent job of destroying/harming life as we know it on this planet.  Could you please explain why you only will allow the "legal" use of your "registered" POISONS to "control" pest problems in California?  I like/love this earth and its people and I want to save them.  That is why I have researched, developed and/or field tested over 1,700 safe alternatives to your dangerous "registered" POISONS that truly control even resistant pest problems far more economically and far better than any/all of your "registered" POISONS.  When will it be "legal" (in your opinion) to use any of these unregistered alternatives to actually control pest problems safely in California?

Respectfully,  Stephen L. Tvedten
