Air Pollution, Diesel And Brain Damage - By: GARKO, Posted on: 2008-05-21

Oops! Another setback for biodiesel! The emissions appear to contribute to brain damage!
Small particles of soot, or nanoparticles, can travel up the nose and lodge in the brain. This has about the same effect on your brain as gunk buildup does on your car engine and they could interfere with normal brain performance and information processing.
Ten male test subjects, between the ages of eighteen and thirty nine, were told to go into in a gas chamber(?) filled with emissions from a diesel engine for one hour. After about half of that hour had passed, EEG brain wave patterns displayed a reaction, this change in pattern suggested reactive adjustments in information processing in the brain cortex.
That indicates that inhaling contaminated air over the long term not only increases your potential of dying from lung cancer or cardiac or respiratory difficulties, it may also heighten your risk of nerve and brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's conditions, according to this new study.
How do environmental toxins affect brain processes?
A study recently published discovered that the molecular toxicity of diesel emissions byproduct creates oxidative stress-mediated inflammation of the cortex area of your brain. (Inflammation is already considered to be the essential causative element in both pulmonary and systemic ailments from exposure to diesel fumes.)
Your brain is extremely sensitive to harmful effects brought on by oxidative stress.
For example, oxidative stress is thought to be, at least in some measure, the villain in conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
This kind of stress in the brain cortex is also found in other psycho-pathological conditions for example:
headaches
post-traumatic stress disorder
"burnout"
traumatic brain injury
The researchers found that it is primarily the beta waves that are impacted, not the theta, alpha or delta waves.
So what does that mean?
Well, here is "brain science 101" (please assure me you won't go off and perform brain surgery on anyone after this short intro), your brainwaves are on a scale from the highest to the lowest amount of activity. Those waves classified as beta are generated when your brain is aroused and actively engaged in mental activities. These waves travel the most rapidly of the four brainwaves.
When you are in active dialogue with someone, you're in beta. A lawyer, orator or teacher is in high beta (with the exception of Rudy Giuliani). Right at this moment, I hope that I have you in beta. So this is definitely not a brain function you'd want to have impeded. Those actively working to forward the agenda known as the "dumbing down of America" - they would certainly want to impede your beta waves. But that is a different subject, eh?
The special photography used in the tests conducted demonstrated how the left section of the frontal cortex is lit up on the test subjects that endured the diesel fuel exposure, compared to the group that did not get gassed.
They hypothesize this effect could be getting caused by the existence of nanoparticles.
Bottom line is that air pollution is a serious concern that means trouble for both your body and your brain.
If you wish to help eliminate smog for your own better health and the health of your family and loved ones I have a great idea!
WATER4GAS is offering information for a nominal fee which consumers can use at home to build a small device which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. Therefore the engine gets to use a lot more of the gas.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to lower your gasoline consumption by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can lower your gasoline consumption.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
This information has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?

Consumer advocate, songwriter, entrepreneur and activist, GARKO, advises that at the present time you cannot buy a car that runs on water but that the ones coming on the market in the next five years are planning to charge too much for the conversion. But he can show you how to convert your car to run on water which is the best engine modification to save gas For a list of current gasoline prices in your neighborhood email garko@startlingdiscoveries.info
