Silent Spring

Classic Health Books

What if spring time came and there were no sounds of birds singing in the morning?

This question was posed by a biologist 47 years ago, September 1962, in a book called: Silent Spring. The author was a woman named Rachel Carson.

If you want a clearer understanding of why America is sick and dying, you need to read the Book: Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. It is available at most Libraries, and if your local library doesn't have it they can obtain it from another library through a program called Inter-Library Loan.

It is understood, that if some one states that something will happen in the future, and it comes to past exactly as they said, they are considered a Prophet. Rachel Carson was a prophet. Over the years of my health studies I have seen comments made, both favorable and detracting about Rachel Carson and her book, Silent Spring. I had not yet read the book, so I recently decided to read it.

The childhood admonition to consider the source when evaluating any criticism surely applies when judging Silent Spring.

Among those leading the fight, I consider it at the present time to be one step away from a full scale bloody war, for safe healthy food, Silent Spring is thought of as prophetic.

Among those on the other side who believe in so called "science" as the answer to all issues Silent Spring is an extremist, inaccurate fairy tale and or blasphemy against the "God" of again, so called "science". It is amazing how things come into sharp focus once a person realizes how a person's world view determines the outcome of all their actions.

Much of United States food production has fallen under the control of people who believe that Charles Darwin was accurate in his theory; that no God or Intelligent designer created the Earth and its incredible ecological system, including the plants and animals that mankind uses as it's food supply. The result is a present and still greater looming catastrophe in food production and supply.

The misuse of pesticides and Genetically modifying plants through the splicing of animal and plant DNA are two results of the flawed world view of Darwinism; a world without a Creator.
Common sense would tell a true scientific mind that all things in the world are in relationship with one another and that the change in one will affect many other things.

An example would be the aerial pesticide spraying program of tens of thousands of square miles of the central Midwest United States from the 1950's into the early part of 1960's to "kill" or totally eliminate the Japanese beetle. Rachel Carson details the effects of the program in the book Silent Spring. The aerial spraying covered land and water areas in the states of Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri with pellets of the deadly neurotoxin aldrin The planes dropped aldrin pellets over towns, lakes, rivers, food crop areas, orchards, pastures, home lawns, gardens and school yards. The result was the rapid death of almost every living thing in the area sprayed except for large animals and mankind. Birds, dogs, cats, thousands of variety of insects; both beneficial and so called "harmful" insects, all died in massive quantities in the areas sprayed. Bird baths were surrounded by dead and dying birds, flocks of birds were found dead in fields and dogs that lapped water from street depressions after a rain following the spraying died within hours. These were not isolated incidents, but were found to have happened where ever and whenever the spraying was done. State and local Health agencies, veterinarians, Bird watching clubs, Garden clubs, doctors, farmers, housewife's, ranchers ALL reported massive tragic poisonings almost within hours after the spray airplanes flew overhead.

All the while, in response citizen complaints the "Government" officials deemed the application of the poison safe for humans!

This spraying program continued year after year in spite of massive opposition from a large proportion of citizens who had witnessed the carnage.
The result of all the years of the spraying was that it did not stop the spread of the Japanese beetle!

I wonder if any data studies have been done correlating the amount of Parkinson, Cancer and degenerative diseases within the areas that were sprayed all those years as opposed to areas that were not sprayed.

Do you ever wonder why cancer is now so wide spread in America?
