Diabetes and depleted uranium

Italian embassy refuses visa

By Bob Nichols
San Framcisco Bay View

June 29, 2006 - "You are not being truthful about the
purpose of your visit to Italy. What is your interest in
diabetes and depleted uranium?" the Italian consul in
Bombay demanded to know.

"I am just traveling to Italy to meet with Leuren Moret,"
the famous Indian doctor answered.

Leuren Moret recounted the episode in an interview June
29, 2006. She said, "The doctor had never mentioned
either diabetes or depleted uranium."

The Italian government official was grilling one of the
leading doctors in India. This "interview" at the Italian
embassy took place June 27, 2006, in Bombay, India. The
doctor had traveled to Italy several times before and did
not expect such outrageous treatment. The consul denied
the doctor permission to travel to Italy to meet with
Moret.

The doctor had said nothing about diabetes and nothing
about depleted uranium. The embassy official had just let
the cat out of the bag and confirmed the link between the
global epidemic of diabetes and the use of depleted
uranium by the U.S.-U.K. expeditionary forces in Iraq,
Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia.

The official could only have known about the diabetes
link to depleted uranium from the U.S. State Department
and the source of it all: the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear
Weapons Lab, "managed" for 61 years by the University of
California. The University of California nuclear weapons
labs are the core of the nuclear weapons program in the
U.S., the only remaining superpower.

The clumsy intervention by a superpower in the travel
plans of a private individual to confer with a scientific
colleague about global public health concerns highlights
the explosive significance that the U.S. attaches to
uncontrolled information about the global epidemic of
diabetes.

On May 29, Moret charged the University of California and
the Los Alamos and Livermore Nuclear Weapons Labs with
engineering the largest global increase of diabetes in
history and trying to cover it up.

Fine uranium dust, vaporized into a poison radioactive
gas by exploding uranium bombs, missiles and bullets,
hitches a ride on dry desert winds to circle the globe in
days.

Dr. Chris Busby, a leading British radiation expert, got
data from a nuclear weapons air monitoring facility at
Aldemaston, England, which identified depleted uranium in
the British atmosphere only nine days after the "shock
and awe" carpet bombing of Baghdad, started in March of
2003.

If this theory is valid then the rate of diabetes in india should be
uniform in urban and rural areas, it is not.  Urban areas have the highest
rates in the world while most rural areas remain at traditional low rates.  
One shot answers in biology are usually false.  The story is also silly
and doubtful if it happened.  India and italy have both access to email
and phone service so any scientist can communicate with any other, or both
parties could go to another country.  Sounds like a movie plot.

Well, it's obvious, isn't it?  The rural Indians are collecting
depleted uranium somewhere and lobbing it into the cities.  Glad
I could help clear this up.

the use of words "global epidemic" is rather an exaggeration, but that's the
usual american exaggeration. like, the nfl football champs are called global
champs although no other country cares for the funny looking "ball".

however, the link between the two is definite. usa has the most
disproportionate incidents of diabetes. there can only be two reasons for
that. the evangelical radio talk show hosts doing it 24x7 across the
country, or the depleted uranium. the latter seems more plausible to
scientists, but i think it is a toss up.

Bigots can be spotted by their ignorance and willful lies.  India has the
dubious honor of having the highest rate of diabetes among the countries
of the world.  If the silly uranium theory was valid there would not be
the high rate in urban areas and the traditionally low rate in rural
areas, if valid it should be uniform.  Or perhaps most urban indians are
listening to american radio.

I ave two favorite words.
Plausible

Assume

Years ago i watched a Walt Disney documentary
where Walt discussed the making of his movies.

He said the characters must  be PLAUSIBLE.

He pointed out Dumbo, the flying elephant

I  worked for a computer company.   The
manager was adamant about assume.
When a person used the word he threw
a fit and wrote on the board   ASS-U-ME

We do have a serious long term disease
and the words are not proper.

In other domains they mean  "I really do
not know".

The word Uranium does not mean dangerous
radiation..

It is used in the same context as we see in the
magic  CURE. by spammers.

"Depleted uranium is responsible for diabetes, among other factors of

If valid then the rate of diabetes would be uniform in all areas of india.  
India has the world's highest rate of diabetes mostly in urban areas while
rural areas have a traditionally low rate.  One poster suggested the rural
folk are mad at the urban folk and are lobbing uranium into the cities.

Any issue like this is not done by star trek methods.  It is not

There are problems with radiation but not

is not automatically  a risky material.

Actually Uranium is automatically a risky material, but not because it
is radioactive. All heavy metals are very  toxic, and Uranium is no
exception. Uranium chemical poisoning will kill you long before the
radiation from DU will.  DU has a half life of several billion years,
which is about the same as Potassium 40, and a sizeable portion of the
Potassium in your body is Potassium 40 (not 1 -2%, more like 20%). A
very large of the naturally occuring Potassium is K40...

YOU consume radioactive material every day.  Evdetally the natural
selection process has worked.   Seutp a cloud chamber and watch
the activity  Cosmc rays are very energetic.

Heavy metals can kill but the problem is grossly overstated   They
are a problem because they accumulate in the body;  

Some Lawyer;s are making a very good liing out of these

Never let the facts get in the way. As far as I know, no bombs other
than Nuclear weapons contain DU. It is used in a tank rounds, and the
rounds fired by the GAU-8 on the A10, but it isn't useful in bombs.

It is also suggests that the AVERAGE wind velocity was about 100mph,
in other for it to reach England from Baghdad the wrong way...

If he really found it, a far more likely source was weapons
manufacture in the UK.

Jurat maybe you should spend your time learning the
mechanism that has the effect you seem to indicate.
So many make a good living using so many causes to
alarm people falsely.

I did receive a large dose oil radiation while
working on an Atomic Test program.

It PROBABLY did some harm.

Anyone deciding ANY uranium is different from any
other element has the obligation to prove it.

I do qualify for full VA rights  but do not use them

Alarmist who for the most part are technically
unqualified do not help those with real
issues.

They seem to come out of the wood work and
usually solicit funding.  

Excess radiation of any kind may be dangerous
in large doses.  That includes medical use.
There is is a benefit/ harm issue.

Alarmist have done me more harm than good.

By necessity, the military has little concern over
the individual.

Guy, your quoting here was a bit confusing. I'd have added a "[comments
snipped]" comment, to show that you were responding to Ed, or remove that
"just Ed" reference in your letter.

Depleted uranium is interesting stuff. There's a good link at
http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/faq_17apr.htm. But radiation damage is also
interesting. The likelihood of it causing diabetes without causing a much,
much larger and more general proliferation of cancer, especially skin cancer
for those who don't actually ingest it, is ridiculously low (in my opinion,
having majored in bio-electric engineering at MIT and having MIT's chemistry
and physics coursework for it.)

> I did receive a large dose oil radiation while

> It PROBABLY did some harm.

Really! What was your exposure? I remember when Mickey Martin was holding
forth on how his/her/its mom's exposure to radiation caused his/her/its
diabetes, which made no sense: it later turned out Mickey had Klinefelder's
Syndrome, a genetic oddity involving spare X chromosomes that can cause
gender confusion and some serious physical oddities.

> Anyone deciding ANY uranium is different from any
> other element has the obligation to prove it.

Or isotope! U-238, which is what depleted uranium is, is rather different
than the vastly more radioactive U-235, the lighter stuff that gets refined
out to make enriched nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons.

Oh, agreed. Depleted uranium is actually used for weird things like
counterweights in military aircraft, and as armor piercing bullets due to
its high density, good strength compared to things like lead, and its
tendency to ignite if you dump enough energy into it (such as smashing it
into or through tank armor). The extra effects of igniting the shell of an
armor pierce after the heating caused by hitting and penetrating armor
should not be underestimated.

It has also been used for bird shot. If you want to see politcal screaming,
coupled with both good and bad science, take a look at *THAT* argument.

Nico
I cain't disagree with you.  My exposure probably involved a lot
of ingested material.    We waded around he deep dust at and
near GZ.  It was an emergency recovery of instruments-- two months
after the Smokey shot. We were given coveralls and simple face masks.

Jack c. worked on the recovered items.  He died two years from
Leukemia.

If I remember correctly,  the background levels all over the country
were elevated. during the test periods.

I think we agree that this case is very questionable.  I
expect someone to try to save the tree knots
A donation please.
