Dear Mr. Helliker,
I thought you might like to read a follow-up e-mail I just received:
Dear Steve,
Had a phone call today from another case which was running
outside of the group Organophosphorus action here in the
UK
.
This case concerned a man poisoned while marking out sports
fields using a mixture of Roundup and the whitening agent. He says he is happy
for his name to be given but I have no wish to make him too easy a target.
It seems that the mixture when used in metal application
machines produced the deadly phosphine gas - a little publicised property of
organophosphorus compounds when making contact with acid, alkali or metals.
The man is now disabled for life, like too many of us, and
was taking action against his employer with supporting evidence from a
scientist.
He tells me that yesterday he had a visit from his legal
team who say that the scientist claims illness as the reason why he will not now
give his evidence.
It was no surprise to hear that the lawyers found another
so called scientist here in the
UK
who denies that such actions can take place and as a result the case is now
closed. The man was exposed again recently simply by opening his front door when
chemicals used nearby blew towards his home.
He is now sensitised to a wide variety of chemicals with
OPs or hydrocarbons in the formulations and suffers from an extremely
debilitating form of what has been diagnosed as ME / CFS but in reality he
suffers the known symptoms of poisoning.
Incidentally I received the following extract from a
scientist working on a Cot Death case. It would seem that the reaction between
an OP and stomach acid created a deadly gas. The nature of that gas is not
reported but is most likely to have been phosphine don't you think? Does this
mean that a terrorist with suicidal intent does not require a supply of Sarin to
cause mayhem?
It is a wicked, wicked, world when such deadly chemicals
are protected by Governments who have a duty to protect their people from
noxious substances.
All the best, Richard.
Found while away in general text was this The Encyclopedia
of Forensic Science edited

1992 Page 316 Poisons Phosphorus (Yellow)
Rarely encountered these days outside the chemistry
laboratory, since the use of yellow phosphorus in the manufacture of matches and
in rat poison has been prohibited - followed by more information then a para on
OP insecticide of some description - identity not clear as below In July 1991
the
Perth
,
Australia
, newspapers carried the story that two hospitals and a number of streets were
evacuated when lethal fumes leaked from a body carried between the buildings.
The corpse was that of a man who had committed suicide by ingesting phosphorus
insecticide which had reacted with his bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas.
Fire officials in protective clothing and masks neutralised the gas, while the
ambulancemen transporting the body were given emergency oxygen treatment.
Well Mr. Helliker,
George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff once noted: "If you help others, you
will be helped. Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in a hundred years, but you will be
helped. Nature must pay off the debt. It is a mathematical law and all life is
mathematics." I would like to
add that this formula also works in reverse, if you harm others (knowingly or
unknowingly) you will be harmed - what goes around, comes around.
Please protect the people and not the POISON "industry"
profits!
Respectfully,
Stephen L, Tvedten
