Fipronil is a neurotoxin

Fipronil is a neu­ro­toxin, usu­ally in the form of a white pow­der. Fipronil is a com­mon ingre­di­ent for solu­tions man­ag­ing ants, bee­tles, cock­roaches, ter­mites and other infes­ta­tions. Fipronil is also used as the active ingre­di­ent in sev­eral flea con­trol prod­ucts for pets, as a field pest con­trol for corn, insect con­trol for golf courses and […]

Organo-Chlorines (Sucralose) and other Pesticides Associated with Obesity

There is a direct cor­re­la­tion to the amount of organo-chlorine blood plasma con­cen­tra­tion and weight con­trol. Organo-chlorines such as sucralose, inter­feres with the change the con­trol of ther­mo­ge­n­e­sis nec­es­sary for weight loss. Sucralose for exam­ple reduces the amount of good bac­te­ria in the intestines by 50 per­cent, and increases the pH level in the intestines. […]

Fipronil, (“Termidor”,”Frontline”) Creates Resistant Insects

Fipronil is a com­mon pes­ti­cide used for flea con­trol, and ter­mite con­trol. It has been shown to cre­ate resis­tance in Ger­man Cock­roaches, Head Lice and the Cat Flea to lev­els that could be harm­ful to other organ­isms.
In dogs, Fipronil can cause thy­roid dam­age and in cats, it can cre­ate ner­vous sys­tem dam­age even potentially […]

Brain Cancers and Tumor Linked to Pesticide Exposure

Since the first appli­ca­tions of pes­ti­cides start­ing in the early 20th cen­tury Brain can­cers and tumors have increased. In 2010, sci­en­tists have pre­dicted 100,000 vic­tims of some type of either brain Can­cer, or Tumor whether as a pri­mary dis­ease of as part of other seri­ous com­pli­ca­tions. Allo­pathic med­i­cine has rather poor sur­vival rates for patients […]

Bedbugs in Europe and Denmark Pesticide Resistance Testing and Anaylsis

The bed bug prob­lems pes­ti­cide resis­tance against the avail­able con­ven­tional insec­ti­cides in use today. We col­lected bed bugs from 20 dif­fer­ent loca­tions in Den­mark and tested their sen­si­tiv­ity against chlor­pyri­fos, per­me­thrin and deltamethrin; the most impor­tant insec­ti­cides reg­is­tered in Den­mark for bed bug con­trol. There appears to be wide­spread resis­tance against per­me­thrin and deltamethrin, whereas, only cases with reduced sen­si­tiv­ity to chlor­pyri­fos were found. The resis­tance to pyrethroids is com­pa­ra­ble with recent results from the US and UK. From cur­rent analysis’s, all bed bugs tested demon­strate sur­viv­abil­ity when exposed to chlor­pyri­fos, per­me­thrin and […]
