It's official. The World has gone nuts and your body has been subjected to an experiment that was started in 1961. And like that experiment, each madness on its own seems not too bad, but taken as a whole, the result is a poison that threatens to engulf us all.
Madness. There is no other way to describe what is going on. Just as we thought Hillary v. Donald was as absurd as you can get, we now have Boris as Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party (with a total pimp-slap fight going on behind him) and Nottinghamshire police have decided to record what they describe as 'misogynistic incidents against women' as hate crimes.
And under the vague title 'misogynistic incidents' PC Plod will get out his notebook if you whistle at a woman, stick your tongue out at her or even take her photograph. Apparently police in Nottinghamshire have had three months of training in recognising and dealing with such serious misogynistic incidents and I'm sure you are glad to hear that your taxes, in these times of economic downturn and austerity, are being put to such good use!
Nottingham Chief Constable Sue Fish, who lists her five core responsibilities as regional business partner, delivering the future, professional services, corporate communications and information sharing, is paid a total of £144,000 for these onerous tasks. Apparently, apart from the aforementioned 'misogynistic incidents', crime is somebody else's business!
Come on Sue, are you really delivering the future? I mean, if you believe in God, then I thought that how the future was delivered was fully and comprehensively described in Genesis. And if you do not believe, assuming E equals MC squared, then Time (C) equals the square root of E over M. Either way, I don't believe that it is you who is delivering it, so we could cut costs by knocking off one-fifth of that £144k!
Either that, or she could get rid of all of that New Age guff and make fighting and preventing crime her one and only task.
Add to that, the situation in France and the situation in Turkey, both of which are giving ultra-right-wing nutters an even bigger boost than before and we have a perfect storm.
Then there's the situation in the Middle East and I am reminded of what Otto von Bismarck said in 1888, “One day a great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans.”
And it did - World War One.
The tensions are building as the UK seeks to leave the EU, the US shows little ability to tame the excesses of the current Turkish regime, as it needs two large aircraft carriers in that region - namely Israel and Turkey. In the long run, keeping a lid on all these tensions will prove impossible and another major war seems inevitable.
So, rather than rave on about a whole set of crazy situations on The Planet that I for one, cannot alter, let me tell you about that strange experiment I mentioned at the beginning -
You may have noticed that there has been an alarming rise in some kinds of illnesses. Some of the biggest rises have been in allergies, arthritis, obesity, sepsis and diabetes. All except obesity are directly related to the immune system and there is growing evidence that the immune system also plays a role in obesity as well.
To state that the immune system is complex is to state the blindingly obvious. We need the multitude of complex systems in our bodies to protect us from anything and everything from cancer to the common cold that otherwise would kill all of us pretty quickly! But the immune system is badly effected by any constant bombardment by trace toxic elements, as well as by other factors, such as a lack of sleep and excess stress.
Trace amounts of pathogenic chemicals can and will damage the immune system, making it over-react to some things and fail to react to others. If your child is playing on the living room carpet, it is breathing in whatever chemical you last used to clean that carpet and whatever chemicals remain that were used in manufacture. The same applies to anything in the house, where chemicals were used - the kitchen, bathroom, lavatory - all carrying a thin smear of toxins that are heavily advertised on television.
But it is in our food that some of the most dangerous toxins are entering our bodies.
Bread is made in huge factories using an industrial method invented in 1961, called the Chorleywood process, that uses chemicals and cold kneading to speed up manufacture to the point where a single oven can produce 6,000 loaves in an hour and a process called 'activated loaf development' uses chemicals to speed up production.
Industrial oils and soya flour are used to increase volume, bleaching agents are used to make the bread as white as possible (real wheat bread is light grey) colouring agent E150 is used to make the crust brown and ascorbic acid (E300) makes the dough rise faster.
Emulsifiers lecithin and mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid, esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472e) give a softer crumb and manufacturers claim "A better eating experience!" Preservatives, such as E260-3 (that, believe it or not, is acetate!) and E280-3, a powerful proportionate are added to extend shelf life, despite both being associated with all kinds of health problems, ranging from migraines to skin irritations and allergies and even cancer.
I can go on. Enzymes, such as amylase to keep bread soft, xylanase to boost volume and transglutaminase to aid the Chorleywood process are added.
Much to my complete amazement, these enzymes do not even have to be listed on the ingredients - despite the fact that they are known to badly effect the immune system and often lead to severe allergic reactions. Why? Because they are classed as 'processing aids' and food regulations allow them therefore to be added without warning consumers of their presence.
Sorry, but all supermarket bread, including the frozen rubbish that is reheated and served as fresh at those 'in-house' bakeries, is made like this. Even your local bakery will be using ready-made flour-plus-yeast-and-additives.
And those insidious ingredients are of course not just in bread, but some or all can be found in every processed food. Pizzas, beer, colas, fruit juice concentrates, pies, ice-cream, sausages, ketchup, puddings, cakes, anything and everything that came ready-made in a package, tin or bottle!
Regulators have given all these additives a totally clean bill of health, but they have only ever been tested in isolation. You and your children are now testing them as a cocktail of combinations of toxins, biocides and enzymes for the very first time.
