A REFERENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
& HUMAN HEALTH: ALTERNATIVE SURVIVAL STRATEGIES & LIFESTYLE CHANGE IN AN
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE WORLD
By Murray

f
BRIEF: This
page represents important parts of my life's interests and work, particularly my
environmental health and ethical concerns in terms of planetary or global health, and how to enable oneself to bypass
future emergencies through strategic preparation. Much of this information
is presented in eBook form, the best way to
distribute information.
INTRODUCTION
Our modern lifestyle is highly vulnerable to terrorist
attacks upon the infrastructure that supports most of our comfort zones.
And not only terrorism. Large-scale and inevitable technological accidents, cutbacks leading
to utility service decline or failure, ageing infrastructure (like water pipes), hacker attack on internet-dependent
businesses, strikes, fuel shortages, water wars, natural disasters, job loss, global
warming, etc., all have
the capacity to suddenly and dramatically cut off everything we are familiar
with. It is essential that we are developing alternative ways to promote
our survival in the event that a sudden emergency causes the collapse of that
steady lifestyle envelope of fluffy predictability we assure ourselves will
daily embrace us with its beneficence: a seemingly predictable life.
It
should also be taken as read that personal and
family health care represent imperatives that need strategic and consistent
optimizing in this world of ever-increasing pollution impacts. Personal
health (both physical and motivational) is the cornerstone of personal power, energy, drive,
endurance and forward purpose. More on this later.

DISCUSSION
The spiritual desolation of modern life is really the most pronounced metaphysical problem that humans face,
though this, as painful as it is, is really an illusion (see
http://fire.prohosting.com/ironbuck/index.html). It is central to
Global Health because spiritual dysfunction, or the
intrinsic degeneracy that gradually enfolds a declining civilization, is the
source of the supreme compromise of ethics that is engineered just before the
bow wave of rampant curiosity takes form and plows up all before it. Cause
has effect, yet the causes are not as permanent as we think, nor the effects as
lasting as we might believe.

Imagine what benefits would be gained by teaching
this new generation that there are plant species that maintain
natural insect-repellant properties (http://www.cdli.ca/sciencefairs/cwsf2001/summary4.html;
http://altnature.com/library/repelling_insects.htm), and
that they can safeguard their children against the
devastating impact of synthetic pyrethroid termiticide compounds
by using safer, alternative products to protect their homes (http://www.thebestcontrol.com/).
Imagine how much smarter our kids would be
if we stopped exposing them to pesticdes? Note:
Four to five
year olds that were exposed to “registered” pesticide poisons:
- could not
remember what they were told 30 minutes later,
- had less
stamina,
- had
decreased fine eye/hand coordination,
- could not
draw a stick figure, they could only scribble
- had many
disruptive behavior problems, particularly aggression (Tvedten
1999, 2002:2).

Spiritual Deficiencies, Materialism & Global
Warming
As part of that core problem,
the
Western technological lifestyle has had many unfortunate and inequitable impacts
on this world's environment and its peoples. Generally, it has displaced indigenous cultures and
marginalized them, leaving them on the fringes of synthetically wealthy
lifestyles, eking out an impoverished existence. These 'masses' are then
either forgotten entirely, or
become fodder for huge multinational corporations who take advantage of their
relatively new dependence on cash and addictive Western products. Briefly, this kind of outcome describes
an insidious dynamic whereby Western culture, especially transnational
interests, has spread through formerly
agricultural, subsistence and forest indigenous cultures, insidiously crafting a wholesale
loss of ancient knowledge. This diminishment of old ways of relating to
the
 earth ethically (and, as the basis of ethics, our metaphysical and spiritual
orientation) occurs simultaneously with the development of the materialistic
knowledge of artificial means for so-called 'advancement'.
The problem is that what develops into true addictions to energy-hungry and toxic ways
and means of living is erroneously considered to represent progress, but this is
really a mythical and stupidly romantic notion within the overall concept of
scientific
domination in terms of evolutionary theory. As such,
Global 'Health'
as it now stands signifies ruination
on a global scale as a function of both the advance of time and the degeneracy
of our ethics, with both compounding into a materialistic increase of disjointed
and dangerous knowledge
typical of all civilizations before their imminent demise. We are now
witnessing an accelerating
Global Warming
threatening to lay waste coastlines
worldwide once the planet's buffer systems reach their thresholds of tolerance.
Once these thresholds are breached, change can advance extremely rapidly.
The rapid melting of planetary ice reservoirs could unleash massive flooding
globally. There are scientific articles today noting this principle of sudden and
drastic change after meteorological and marine threshold limits are violated
beyond recovery(e.g. Pearce,
F. 2003, Doomsday Scenario, New Scientist, Vol. 180, No. 2422, 22nd
November, page 40).

Secrets
Origins & Meaning Lost
Certainly, we humans are distracted by the shiny objects we create. We
like our inventions, however, for a reason. The cause of our
worship of synthesized objects is a cumulative
mindset motivated by many aberrant and unstable reactions within our specialized minds. But
these reactions are buried in the famous 'mists of time' and are largely
unrecoverable in any strictly objective sense. Our total problem can at
least be intellectually represented by an unknown, primeval and PROFOUND
physical and metaphysical disengagement from nature. This INJURY has
led to a self perpetuating and
historical lack of awareness of the ancestry and depth of this weird form of
incompleteness. Animals do not experience this unusual dysfunction, unless they live too closely
associated with humans and are dominated by humans. This says
something about the 'Fascism' of animal captivity in poorly equipped zoos and
circuses, and the supreme abnormality of hormone-stuffed intensive animal production.
It should be no surprise that overmedicated animals are hosted by another
overmedicated species:
us. And, even putting aside this incredibly
important issue of 'pure' physical health, this disturbing notion should
implicate the deeply aberrant spiritual or metaphysical health
problems we humans are subject to.
Venice has that sinking
feeling
We have
fashioned many mythologies that strive to give an account of our repeating
psychological pathologies. Some, via religion, offer highly biased
versions of our origins and history, and demand -- via another form of
totalitarianism or Fascism -- that we call it truth. Other mythologies,
particularly those created
through more modern technological propositions such as the Theory of Evolution,
assert that truth is defined by preposterous, romantic philosophies again
disbursing that vacant and wholly repudiated concept called "progress".
Here, amoral, empty and anti-spiritual romances assert there exists a strange
right to dominate an entire planet and all other species.
We
are a religious species because we are looking for lost meaning.
But our presumptuous and bigoted certainties unfortunately usually
attempt to sway millions with fables offering a lifetime of fear through
doctrines and prescriptions for conformity that mute and imprison what should be a much more intuitive and
beautiful consciousness.

What we can be sure of is that we really
know very little of our past, our true origins. Even what tiny
representation of history we are left with is
biased, locked up, and controlled by those in orthodoxy who believe they own
history. In like manner, many areas within modern medicine believe they
'own' a particular disease or common health problem and its exotic, money-spinning drug treatments.
These pharmaceutical giants and the orthodox policing bodies they have
indoctrinated will vilify and attempt to bankrupt or criminally charge any who try, in the
spirit of real democracy and natural diversity, to promote alternative ways to
conceptualize of health maintenance and disease formation, and non-invasive methods of apprehending such
processes. Therefore, much of the true knowledge of healing has been
replaced by chemicalized schemes designed to make corporations wealthy, while
brainwashing millions with the fiction that toxic chemical cocktails are an
intelligent way to treat disease. What we experience as a result of this
programming is an onrushing cataclysm of organic diseases that are difficult to
treat with largely toxic approaches. So, the 'progress' that rushes us
away from natural means of treating human health imbalances further compounds
our stupidity and loss of original knowledge. As such, again, the wretched state of
Global Health
on this planet becomes a statement of the internal spiritual disease that came
first, and which
plagues humanity permanently.
Our Thirst for a Clinical World of Meaning
Ultimately,
what we humans do 'best' is to create dysfunctional, totalitarian mythologies that bind us all
up in repeating
catastrophes. And the greatest of these lies within this cycle of history is the fable of
the evolutionary technological
imperative, a magnificent story of a noble, onward and upward climb to sparkling
supremacy, complete with a striking and paradoxical purposelessness that defies
the vast swaths of evidence surrounding us all, evidence supporting the
implicit design of every atom in the universe and every possible relationship
between those atoms (and smaller). How easy it is to see that
we are well trained in avoiding the truth of reality, and instead believe we are
enlightened as we waste our lives fabricating lies that stand us in poor stead.
In being very impressed with
ourselves as our embrace of technology deepens, we inadvertently define, in ever
tightening and descending spirals, the perverse ego of a modern humanity in love
with the function (or means) of the domination and erasure of all life, without
there being any real semblance of a purpose (or designated ends) and meaning
that is founded in the true reality of nature. We imagine we were 'meant'
to become supreme as a species, and yet we fail to ascribe true design to this
seeming inevitability and the perverse admiration for our own incredible brains.
We make the critical mistake of fantasizing without any reference to nature, and
therefore lose, in the very first instance of our fatal presumption, the
universal submissiveness we must share with all animals in order to really know
what we are, where we belong, and how we should live.

Chemical pollution (including: industrial and
urban air pollution, herbicide/pesticide use, narcotic abuse,
and prescription/non-prescription drug abuse) is a major
contributing factor to aggressive behaviour in developed nations
(http://www.vegsource.com/parent/whats_with_kids.htm,
-- this article entitled, Are Today’s Teens More Toxic,
by Dr. J. Robert Hatherill, can be purchased from the Chicago
Tribube: http://www.chicagotribune.com/). One should also
consider the now firm links between pesticides and aggressive
behaviour in schools leading to shootings (http://www.cnn.com/NATURE/9908/09/pesticides.enn/index.html;
http://www.ia.ucsb.edu/pa/print.aspx?pkey=328). Simply put,
“pesticides decrease mental ability and increase
aggressiveness… Rather than directing all our attention to
bitter debates on gun control and the violence in the
entertainment industry, let's also consider the pressing need
for a cleaner environment and more nutritious food” (Hatherill
1999:19).

It is here where the once panoramic vision of
Global Health
becomes marked for extinction by a species that forgets its past. It is
here where we can account for our greatest losses, even in terms of what has
been obliterated via all previous wars, for the whole world is today lost inside
a passionate and deadening love affair with technology.
 We
might believe we live charmed lives as a remarkable species, but we are stalked
by the fatal advance of a compendium of total ignorance and false hopes,
invisible chemicals and untraceable health impacts. The ultimate obscenity
is the power of technology to destroy an entire planet, first by a slow death in
terms of those multiple health impacts, and secondly in terms of ongoing
disasters of hatred employing technology to strike at the technological mess we
believe is right and good. How incredibly dense we are to imagine that any
form of Imperialism will create benefit in the long run. To lose a single
river momentarily to excessive runoff pollution, or to lose a single mind to
vengeance is one thing, but to sicken and destroy all future generations of
plant, animal and human life, and to pile upon that misery the hatred of
millions of lives blighted by corporate greed, is quite another blunder of more
than 'spectacular' proportions.

The Few Who Know, & the Many Who Don't
There
are the rare few within, yet apart from, the great Western displacement (or, the general cortical tendency of the
human mind to separate from nature) that have already incorporated, through
personal circumstances that frame a different upbringing or revelation, or through strange
reversals of lifestyle and explosions of understanding, the knowledge they need to maximize their chances of
avoiding future, massive and worldwide upheaval.
These few fortunate people are those who connect to and live with the land, and
are therefore not so dependent upon technological infrastructure. They
collect their own water, they grow their own food and raise animals, they know
how to fix and recycle things, and they know how to treat their own diseases
without toxic drugs.

This website is really not for these
people! It is for the multitudes who have been conned by a
modern technological world of glossy, but shallow ideas that have
transfixed humanity for millennia. This site is for the wanna-be escapees of a
system of repeating ignorance that has wiped knowledge aside in its venomous
march down through a shattered succession of histories of habitual and grinding
error. We are not alone; we have been around for much longer than 6,000
years; our orthodox historians know little of the true histories that tell much
more than they want us to imagine; there is infinitely more purpose built
into this world and universe than we can fathom; and we are destitute
without the knowledge of the metaphysical dynamic that founds all space, time
and matter.
Global Health & Survival first involves a change of
mind or heart, or a significant alteration or revision of perspective. This does not
mean dreaming a dream and vacuously hoping for some kind of empty salvation from
the government, or imbibing of a 'positive thinking' philosophy that chants
affirmations without intersecting and incorporating real truth. In the context of this site, survival means
focusing on where we are now in
terms of dependencies, and then how to get to a different place when we
find we are really solidly 'stuck' and exposed to danger. In other words,
I am describing ways and means toward removing a gross and otherwise permanent
dependence on technology (and the gross spiritual desolation that accompanies it), and
"getting back to nature". And, yes, you may need to use toxic technology first
to get what you need.
IF LIFE HAS NO PURPOSE,
THEN THERE'S NO REASON TO LOVE...
This is obviously not just a site recommending only
physical means for physical ends. It points toward the non-physical realm of understanding
that is primed for meaning, expression and emergence (potential). We need to use both
the mind and the body, the spiritual and the physical, and the reality of true
knowledge and understanding to maximize that potential. Living a lie or
believing we know the truth when we don't will not maximize the emergence of
real wisdom in this life.

Pesticides
and weedicides need to be quickly eliminated from our
lifestyles. The book, The Best Control II (Tvedten
1998, 2002), can be easily purchased (either as hardcopy or CD –
comprising 1700 pages and 36 years worth of professional pest
control research and experience) from:
http://www.safesolutionsinc.com/resources.htm.
The Forword from the book reads:
Synthetic pesticides are the single largest class of toxic
chemicals to which the total population worldwide is
exposed. While their predominant use is in large-scale
industrialized agriculture, other major applications include
urban spraying, uses in offices, schools, golf courses, and
the home lawn and garden. Such uses result in pervasive
environmental contamination of air, water, and food,
high-level exposure of agricultural workers, and direct
domestic exposures.
There is overwhelming scientific documentation on the
adverse public health impact of such exposures. These
include carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and endocrine disruptive
or hormonal effects. Yet the public remains largely
uninformed of these largely unregulated toxic exposures,
tantamount to chemical warfare. This reckless, if not
criminal, conduct of the pesticide industry is trivialized
by its PR assurances of safety, besides by those of industry
scientists, and indentured academics. These assurances are
coupled with the insistence that large scale uses of
synthetic pesticides is essential to maintain food
production, and avoid insect-induced disease.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Over recent
decades, non-pesticide and non-toxic methods of pest
control, known as integrated pest management (IPM), have
been developed and are now in increasing use. However, such
information has not yet reached the general public.
Recognizing this critical information gap, Stephen Tvedten
has compiled a virtual encyclopedia of IPM entitled, “The
Best Control II.” This provides reader friendly, practical
information on IPM, and how it can be readily used for any
and every form of insect control, at both the domestic and
community level. This information includes a comprehensive
description of all major classes of insects and pests,
including lice, birds and even rattlesnakes.
Tvedten
has unparalleled practical experience in IPM methods of pest
control, in which he is the leading international expert.
“The Best Control II,” is a unique and invaluable
contribution which should be in the hands of every concerned
pest control expert, educator, physician, citizen, homeowner
and parent. Tvedten has made an invaluable contribution to
public health.

One last point: this site might
appear to some to have an esoteric bent. It might appear to be offering mystical
insights that lie beyond the ken of mortal man. Not so. There are no mysteries
here; no impossible concepts; no cultism of knowledge seeking devotees to
sacrifice life, limb and bank accounts to a shadowy Master with delusions of
grandeur. Just look for the links above (on the left side of this page) to the worthwhile research that might save
you from poisoning, and to this link page for valuable insights that mesh with
some of my ideas. As well, if life disempowers you, and you need to fund
an appropriate escape from dependencies, then perhaps the business opportunities below can frame
a strategy and an escape from the disappointing suburban lifestyle that chokes
so many of us.

Income Needed to Change Our Focus on Survival
You must (in most cases) have excess income available in order to
finance most varieties of sophisticated survival strategies, and especially
so if you live entwined with technological supports in the suburbs.
Here, your life is defined by dependence upon that technology. And, to the
degree you are bound to that dependence, 'sophisticated' will mean extraction; extracting
yourself and your family from an entrenched position within a technological
framework. This requires a fairly sophisticated operation because we are
so utterly welded into the fabric of the technological infrastructure and
supports that empower our lives with synthetic engines of energy and
convenience, and products and services provided by many others likewise
dependent upon the same artificial sources of power. Even though these materialistic helps add
previously unimagined dimensions to our lives, they also take from us the most
basic attributes we are blessed with: our health and our personal empowerment.
The problem of re-education and extraction applies especially to
city and urban dwellers who have already staked their financial claims on the
assumed immortality of our current technological way of life within Western civilization.
The increasing degeneracy of urban life (the breakdown of formerly reliable
and sensitive social patterns) and its fragility in terms of terrorism represent only two of
many significant fractures now working their way through our history and into
our future.
I personally despair of the fatally flawed
economic general laws upon which we are now so tenuously balanced. I
firmly believe I belong to another century! Nevertheless 'reality' (the
fantasy we have manufactured) imposes itself upon us. Money is
unfortunately therefore needed in the first instance by the uninitiated of the
urban world to purchase
KNOWLEDGE, and secondarily to purchase the means to make your life safer
in a very unsafe world.
In other words, money created our stupidly 'advanced' technological lifestyles,
and money is therefore needed to finance your 'escape' from this
compromised lifestyle to a
more secure and simpler lifestyle
where you will have engineered a greater MARGIN OF SAFETY by and through
marginalizing technology within your world and
enhancing your rapport with nature. This concept is so IMPORTANT!
Unless we humans come to understand through humility that we are organic
creatures that need to live according to nature's patterns, then we will
disappear in the hail and brimstone of a nuclear day, and the silent night of a
nuclear winter and chemical oblivion.

CONCLUSION
We need to unlearn our dependencies
on our inventions, and re-learn a more natural way of living, the lifestyle
bequeathed to us by a benevolent nature. Time is against us, as are our
own minds and comfort zones. Engineering a new acquaintance with nature is
the only way that can elevate our chances of survival in a new world buffeted by
climatological changes brought on by our own delusions of technological
