World Trade Center Illness Research


DUST TO DUST
The best film on World Trade Center Illness we've seen yet

"Immune system cancer found in young 9/11 officers - Yahoo! News" http://bit.ly/3w91eC

Mon Aug 10, 6:13 am ET "NEW YORK – Researchers say a small number of young law enforcement officers who participated in the World Trade Center rescue and cleanup operation have developed an immune system cancer.

The numbers are tiny, and experts don't know whether there is any link between the illnesses and toxins released during the disaster.

But doctors who coordinated the study, published Monday in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, said people who worked at the site should continue to have their health monitored."

The problem of World Trade Center Illness is now without warning. The first solid evidence was a beautiful, young, successful with a fine family New York City attorney. Her name was Felicia Dunn-Jones and she is the first person acknowledged to have died (2/10/02) from World Trade Center Illness. Her name was read along with the other victims without mention of the addition during the 9/11/07 memorial.

"Citing "accumulated scientific research" that linked sarcoidosis to ground zero exposure, Hirsch wrote in May, "the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has thus concluded that Mrs. Dunn-Jones' exposure to World Trade Center dust on 9/11/01 contributed to her death and it has been ruled a homicide." reports USA Today

After months of bounced emails from elected and appointed officials about World Trade Center Illness, this site went up in February, 2002. The the death toll from 9/11 is rising as a result of the World Trade Center 1, 2 and 7 being exploded.

World Trade Center Cough and World Trade Center Illness are real health issues occurring since 9/11. People are dying and the government was, until recently saying the air was safe to breathe and the water safe to drink.

The White House told the EPA to alter the health report about what the people were eating, drinking and breathing. Officials quickly assured folks that the air was safe to breathe and the water safe to drink. They didn't even begin testing for toxins in the first few days, when the count would have been the highest, the reading most accurate of the quantity of toxic exposure. Why the sewers, who are suppose to be testing local air quality did not have readings for 9/11, is beyond me. Both Red Hook and Newtown Creek may have numbers. Also, Port Richmond and Owls Head were without obstruction and may have records of what was in the dust there.

World Trade Center Cough is a condition resulting from breathing the toxic materials released into the environment. World Trade Center Illness is a condition that includes respiratory, digestive and other problems resulting from exposure to the WTC dust. I've posted a piece on my blog, that explains in detail how WTC Illness is affecting folks.

"What we are now calling “World Trade Center Illness” - sickness that results from exposure to the toxic dust of the WTC - can manifest as squamous cell cancer (SCC) or mesothelioma asbestos lung or stomach CANCER. Both cancers result from chronic chemical, petroleum by-products or asbestos exposure. There is a really great site The Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center that has more information on asbestos and World Trade Center Illness.

Many other complications have occurred, including death, i.e. the attorney mentioned at the beginning of this article.

"Felicia Dunn-Jones, a 42-year-old attorney who was caught in the dust cloud while fleeing the collapsing towers on Sept. 11, 2001, died of sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs, on Feb. 10, 2002."

Exposure increases risk, and folks have been exposed to large quantities of toxic material for years now. The City may have cleaned up the pile, but they didn't clean up the surrounding areas, and I don't know how far that dust reached.

Since September 11, 2001, folks in parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have been breathing, eating and drinking the concentrated dust from the World Trade Center. It happened because rather than evacuate, New York City was put on lockdown. The military filled the streets. The people had no choice but to consume the toxic soup, drink the kool aid and hope you survive.

The toxic dust contained transformer oil contaminated with PCB's, polyvinyl, chloride, copper, furans, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, dioxins, asbestos, mercury from the computers and lights, thousands of gallons of jet fuel, and what the National Resources Defense Council - NRDC defined as “small hazardous waste generating entities.” Add to that an estimated 50,000 personal computers with four pounds of lead each, pulverized, and that is 200,000 pounds of lead released into the atmosphere."

In August, 2006, the City of New York released guidelines to the medical community for how to deal with WTC Illness. The report is from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene titled CLINICAL GUIDELINES FOR ADULTS EXPOSED TO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER DISASTER.
Page 47:

"The World Trade Center (WTC) terrorist attack and its aftermath exposed hundreds of thousands of people to debris, dust, smoke, and fumes. Studies conducted after September 11, 2001, among rescue and clean-up workers,1-4 office workers, 5 building evacuees,6 and residents of lower Manhattan 7-9 showed an increase in respiratory and other physical and mental health problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder.


Many New Yorkers have health problems that could be associated with – or made worse by – exposure to the attack and its aftermath. Primary care physicians need to know how to identify, evaluate, treat, and if necessary, refer these individuals to expert care."

The press copy should have read BUSH TO CITY: DROP DEAD....only this time it's literal. The body count of victims of the WTC is rising, the death toll clock is still clicking, and the government has failed to give an accurate account of how many people died and are dying from the explosions at the World Trade Center in 2001. The standard rate for cancer to develop is between 5-15 years from exposure...which is why we are reading many stories about people still dying from exposure to the WTC toxic dust, much of which was never cleaned up, probably still in old curtains, children's toys and business people's suits as asbestos does not come out of fabric with traditional cleaning.

The people were lied to and told the air was safe to breathe and the water safe to drink.

If you were around Ground Zero during or we don't know how long after 9/11/01 here's the NRDC list:

YET, THE AUTHORITIES CHOSE TO "STUDY" THE SITUATION
AND 5 YEARS LATER GOT BACK TO US!
EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES - WE'VE LOST YEARS

The evidence is too precise to ignore. Those buildings were exploded. The pulverized toxins are still flowing everywhere.




As wrongfully imprisoned Ira Einhorn would say; here's the rub. It wasn't just first responders exposed to the toxic dust for long periods of time. Nor was it just adults. Many people lived, worked or visited the area.

In essence, when the buildings were pulverized, the dust spread and was in the air and water as well as on the food. Contrary to what we've been told about the affected area, this dust spread beyond the borders of lower Manhattan. The point in questioning surrounding areas is because bits and pieces of paper from the WTC were found on Long Island - if paper traveled that far, how far did the dust travel? I remember being impressed at the ability to see 3 states from the WTC restaurant Windows On The World. What if the dust traveled at least as far as I could see?

The White House remains dynamically silent on the issue of World Trade Center Illness, failing to address their role in altering the EPA report that said the area was safe. Where is the political debate on this issue? Still no word about when the White House and the EPA will be brought to justice for lying to the people about the danger in the dust.

There are volumes of information about exposure to toxic materials and cancer.

WHAT TO DO?


Demand accountability from the White House and the EPA regarding both lying about the dangers in the dust and putting New York on lock down rather than evacuate. I noticed that it was announced that the White House altered the EPA report regarding environmental safety during the week New York lost its electricity.

Contact your elected and appointed officials and demand a shift in medicine from studying the problem to implementing effective solutions. They know the long term results of carcinogen exposure. Squamous cell cancers on internal and external organs and orifices is what they are dealing with. They also need to pull out what they know about exposure to heavy dust, airborne particulate matter, on folks lungs and stomach, because people ate, drank and breathed the toxic dust.

Rinsing one's system with clean, distilled water and reducing stress can help. Old style medical treatments including hydrotherapy (which boosts the immune system and cleans toxins) and for those inclined, medical hemp (relieves stress, which is a major killer and cancer trigger) should be offered. Provide full medical and life support coverage to those exposed. Legalize hemp and tax it at 20% to create a revenue flow to support the health care crisis and solve other social problems.

Call together many of the metaphysical healers to have a discussion on techniques folks can use to use their minds to help heal their bodies. For example, I've reconnected with Niro Markoff healed herself from HIV/ARC in 1986. Niro's on Facebook. Given her extraordinary work in AIDS and exposure to World Trade Center dust as a result of her healing work, it's time to expand our definition of doctor.

Books to consider for further research on hydrotherapy include:



Hydrotherapy
Check out the
No Cost Water Cure
Rescue workers are already manifesting World Trade Center Illness. Chronic exposure to the toxic chemicals in the dust from the fallen WTC puts the population at risk from breathing and eating residual matter.
When the problem is dirt, the solution is a cleansing. What was called the Water Cure is a common sense approach to dealing with the high levels of toxic exposure.
Jethro Kloss's book, BACK TO EDEN has a chapter on the subject covering the How To.


"Always do direct action.

If you are lying in a ditch with a truck on your ankles,
you don’t send somebody out to find out how much it weighs –
you get it off."


NYC Environmental Crisis is an overview of the situation.

32 EPA Related Blunders is a look at the tragedy of errors made by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A moving explanation of a volunteer's experience at Ground Zero, and a great description of what was known as "the hole" is found in the Davis Report.

WTC Fallout has a list of some of the materials that folks were exposed to when the buildings fell and afterwards.

For a bird's eye view of the times, including her emails about NYC on lockdown, read Nelson's Notes .

The medical community is using the standard procedure of pills and shots to deal with this crisis.

Did Peter Jennings Die Of World Trade Center Illness?

8/24/2016 updated - added Youtube pieces and updated links for more information.  It's not too late to fix this!  Implement the hemp solution! Hemp phytoremediation, 3D Printing (plus whatever's next), hemp for health, etc.



I asked this question awhile ago and never got an answer. In case the problem is I need to ask again, I'm still asking.

Did Peter Jennings die of World Trade Center Illness?

World Trade Center Illness is one of those things that demand we look at both sides of the coin, the cause and the effect. I've been looking for a straight answer about what type of cancer did Peter Jennings have. If you know, please leave a note on this blog.

I know the media is saying lung cancer, but was it on the internal (small cell) or external (large - non-small-cell). 



Peter Jennings was one of the many heroes of 9/11, reporting on the drama of the day for 16 hours straight. As a person living in New York City at the beginning of this century, he was exposed to many of the toxins from the WTC. Despite the government theory that the dust from the WTC magically stopped around 14th Street, in reality it traveled as far as the winds could carry it. Paper from the buildings were found as far east as Long Island.

If Jennings had small cell lung cancer, then it was probably from smoking. If he had non-small cell cancer, then that's caused by chemical exposure, like what happened as a result of the pulverized material from the WTC.

I think there is a possibility that Jennings is the first big name personality to die from WTC Illness.



This is just a theory based on chemical and other toxic materials from the WTC that he and others in the area were/are exposed to and their known impact on health. Not rocket science.

I can't find anywhere the real reason he passed, just the general catch all phrase "lung cancer."

Yet it seemed so fast, like squamous cell cancer.

I think, mostly due to the silence around the type of lung cancer that Jennings had, that he possibly got his lung cancer from exposure to the chemicals from the demolition of the WTC.

I've been suspicious of Jennings cancer based on my mother in love, Edith Akuna, passing in April, 2005 from squamous cell cancer on the exterior of her lungs.

Squamous cell is usually a skin cancer, but it can happen on internal organs.

Edith was a smoker too and I initially assumed that her lung cancer was from that. But then I learned that internal squamous cell cancer does not come from smoking, it comes from industrial grade chemical and other toxic material exposure on internal organs.



When the buildings fell New Yorkers were put on lock down. There is no way around it, the EPA lied and there was danger in the dust. The dust from the pulverized buildings and materials inside include according to the WTC TOXIC MATERIAL LIST FROM Natural Resources Defense Council -NRDC REPORT: Building Materials (1.2 million tons), Jet Fuel (thousands of gallons), Dioxins, Mercury from computers and light bulbs, Asbestos (300-400 Tons), Concrete (424,000 Tons), Fiberglass, Lead from 50,000 Personal Computers - (4 lbs. lead ea. or 200,000 lbs. of pulverized lead released into the air), Main Frame Computers (300), Wire and cables (Hundreds of miles) Transformer Oil contaminated with PCB's (130,000 gallons), to name a few.

People in the area breathed, ate and drank the chemicals. It was on their skin, in the water they bathed in. On the toys their children played with. In the curtains they looked through as they redefined their lives.

"Another possibility is that Jennings had late stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or a very aggressive type of NSCLC, such as large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma, which accounts for about 10% to 15% of all NSCLC. This aggressive cancer can be found in any part of the lung and it carries a very poor prognosis. " From Medpagetoday.com

Many rescue workers are already getting sick, and others in the area are experiencing reduced vitality shall we say.

Was Jennings cancer a normal, small cell cancer or a squamous (non-small cell) cancer? If it was regular cancer, then that makes the point no less valid. People in NY, NJ and CT have been exposed to known carcinogens and the clock is ticking.

Whether I’m correct or not regarding Jennings, we’ve got work to do. 




I've been writing the City of New York and finally got a response.

I told them that their strategy of waiting to see what happens was incorrect because by the time they found the problem, it would be too late.

From: Robert M. Brackbill, Ph.D, M.P.H Principal Investigator World Trade Center Registry NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene He wrote about the World Trade Center Health Registry (April 4, 2005):

"We will be doing epidemiological follow-up including re-surveying enrollees and measuring incidence of diseases that take longer to develop by using cancer registries and death certificates. Follow-up will be very important for our being able to ascertain the presence of such problems you describe, which warrant further investigation. If adverse health effects are identified at any point during the 20 year follow-up of registry enrollees (of which we have over 71,000), a comprehensive description of those findings will be posted on our website and communicated through the press and directly to health care providers." With all we know about the results of exposure to toxic material like asbestos, benzene, etc., they are waiting to see if there is a problem which “warrants further investigation” so they can write a “comprehensive description of those findings.”

What the !#%&. I’m not accusing the medical community of malice. Just being good business people developing customers.

Rather than stress means to reduce the chance of developing cancer like early detection, proper nutrition, medical hemp, etc., they say they’ll let us know if something develops.

We don't need a description of what’s happening. Common sense addresses that. There is much information already available about the results from exposure to those materials.

What is needed are health strategies for people to minimize their risk of getting sick from the exposures. The time to address this issue so something could be done has just about passed.

Here’s what I think needs to be done.

1. Regular health screening and treatment needs to be available at no cost for all exposed, beginning with those who don’t have any health insurance.

Since that group is most likely to not have seen a doctor recently, and may be too poor to afford a healthy diet, clean water, etc., I believe they are at great risk to develop cancer.

2. Legalize hemp and tax it at 20% to cover health care costs and other social programs.

With billions of dollars of marijuana sold every year, the tax could be a substantial revenue source.

3. More research needs to be done on how to effectively deal with these cancers. Consider “Sharks Don't Get Cancer : How Shark Cartilage Could Save Your Life” by William I. Lane and Linda Comac.

I’ve posted on line for free a copy of Niro Markoff Assistent’s book WHY I SURVIVE AIDS. The second part of her book has great exercises and life style suggestions for reversing disease. She healed herself from HIV with ARC back in 1986.

Her book was originally published by Simon and Schuster, but then Simon and Schuster was purchased and the option on Niro’s book dropped.

SCIENCE AND HEALTH by Mary Baker Eddy is also on line for free.

4. Consider the old Water Cure from the book BACK TO EDEN by Jethro Kloss. The problem is the toxins in the body, so a solution may be to keep ones body, inside and out, as clean as possible. Distilled water draws more toxins and minerals, so take a mineral supplement or add more mineral rich foods to your diet should you switch to a cleaner water like distilled.

5. Demand action from the elected and appointed officials now.

6. Talk with local health care folks about the real dangers from exposure to toxic materials.



7. Get to the truth about what really happened on 9/11. Broken and burned buildings are one thing, pulverized toxic material, quite another.

8. Incorporate hemp and hydrotherapy into healing strategies. Check out Richard M. Davis' USA Hemp Museum as a starting research point. I put up a page called "Apply Medical Marijuana to World Trade Center Illness".

9. Pray and meditate. Then share your conclusions too.

If Jennings death was from WTC toxic exposure, then he would do for WTC Illness what Rock Hudson did for AIDS. There are still folks walking around like they don't have a clue this is going on.

Caroline Myss in her book “Anatomy of the Spirit : The Seven Stages of Power and Healing” speaks of “Wisdom Erases Karma.” It’s time to wise up on this issue.

Those responsible for 9/11 were also responsible for telling the EPA to alter the safety report and put the city on lock down, forcing the people to be exposed to the toxins.

If you have not done so already, go to reopen911.org or do a search for "9/11 was an inside job." One of the many issue they address is a piece on the toxins from the WTC. There you will also see the evidence that 9/11 WTC, buildings 1, 2 and 7 (which was not hit by a plane) all fell in the same style, that of a controlled demolition, making the air the consistency of Drano.



In conclusion, for the above reasons I think that Peter Jennings may have died from World Trade Center related toxins, and thousands more are in grave danger as a result of the controlled demolition known as 9/11. 

We are overcoming now.
