The Time-bomb Risk Of Nanoparticles

[AliB]

I read this article in the Daily Mail today with growing horror.

I have come across a lady on the internet with weird and frightening health issues that she believes are related to nanotechnology.

As I keep saying - man meddles with what he does not know...............

Revealed: The toxic nanoparticles with asbestos-like properties found in everyday goods

Tiny particles used to make common goods have similar properties to asbestos and could be highly dangerous, experts are warning.

Others are more toxic than bleach and have the potential to cripple the country

This is some of the most ridiculous paranoid nonsense I have ever read.

This is some of the most ridiculous paranoid nonsense I have ever read.

Why do you think it is paranoid? People are becoming very concerned about the long- term effects of different drugs, about GM foods - truth is we haven't a clue what is going on half the time or what effect any of these new technologies are having on us.

If they didn't feel that there were aspects to be concerned about, I am sure they would not have arranged for a commission to be set up to look into it.

We have been told for years that amalgam fillings were totally fine. Ask Rachel, she will soon enlighten you as to the truth of that!

For years Asbestos was thought to be harmless until it was proved otherwise. Thousands of people have died because of the stuff. Nanotechnology can affect not just thousands, but millions.

This nanotechnology is used in creams and lotions - it is absorbed into the skin. What is it doing once it gets in there - where does it go?

Don't be too dismissive - it might just prove to be one of the most dangerous things man has ever done - and he has a 'brilliant' track record of creating dangerous things!

I think I have read that they actually have stopped some products because of these concerns.

I always wondered how this underwear worked, now I know.

Siver is very bacteriostatic, they use it in wound dressings and on PVK and CVK's.

There are infrared clothing items with laser-cut nanoparticles of certain lengts to reflect infrared light of the right wevelenghts . Open Original Shared Link

Tthese seem to work fine, and several cfs patients who have been bedridden have been able to live an almost normal life (gleaned from a forum, not something the company has posted)

Dont think "nanoparticles" can be dangerous? We human beings are "nanoparticles" compared to the size of the earth and look how we are mucking up our planet.
