Radiation Can Kill You ~ Chelation Might Too
~A Little History~
It is now clear that I was poisoned. We lived on an old dump site active thru the 1960′s. It was closed but never properly sealed to prevent heavy metal contamination of ground water. The ground water was later found to be contaminated and all surrounding wells are now closed due to lead, aluminum, nickel, tin and mercury poisoning. There are several active law suits in the area. We lived there with our children for over 20 years.

Wisteria Wild and Purple
This wisteria is over 100 years old. She is growing up there in what looks like the wilds but was actually the original homestead. We had to demolish the house to build the one we live in today. We left what we could, primarily the old roses, privet hedges, callas, narcissus and daffodils and the naked ladies( a glorious pink flower hovering over a completely nude stem) that appear later in the summer. We also enjoy the black walnut trees that spring up everywhere from the original that has long since toppled, having grown to a height of over 100 feet tall. And of course, the native live oaks.
Cosmos of a Rose…
Just for you today…
Revel in Spring no matter the color of the sky.
“Show Me The Place” as if there was one…
If there was a place… Somehow I think not.
Again I have been made too ill by the drugs to continue my chelation therapy. Now we are moving to compounding some dreadful EDTA combo that’s “new”. As far as I know, EDTA isn’t new but I give up.
Cohen’s lyrics speak to me…again.
