Does Biodiesel Cause Brain Damage? - By: GARKO, Posted on: 2008-05-21

Oops! Another setback for biodiesel! The emissions appear to contribute to brain damage!
Small bits of soot, also known as nanoparticles, can travel up the nose and lodge in the brain. It is possible this could interfere with routine brain function and information processing.
Ten male test subjects, between the ages of eighteen and thirty nine, were told to go into in a gas chamber(?) which was then filled with exhaust from a diesel engine for one hour. After about 30 minutes, EEG brain wave patterns displayed a stress response, is suggesting to researches reactive adjustments in information processing in the brain cortex.
As it turns out, inhaling smog over a period of years not only results in higher potential of being afflicted with lung cancer or cardiac or respiratory difficulties, it could also heighten your risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, according to this new study.
What occurs when you pollute your brain?
A study recently published found that the molecular toxicity of diesel emissions byproduct leads to oxidative stress-mediated inflammation of the cortex area of your brain. (Inflammation is already considered to be the essential causative factor in both pulmonary and systemic ailments from exposure to diesel fumes.)
Your brain has a high level of sensitivity to damage caused by oxidative stress.
For example, oxidative stress appears to be, to some degree, 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 ailments for instance:
headaches
post-traumatic stress disorder
the feeling known as "burnout"
concussions and such
Researchers are finding that it is primarily the beta waves that are impacted, not the theta, alpha or delta waves.
What is the implication of that?
Well, here is a quick primer on the different wavelengths in your brain (please assure me you won't go off and perform brain surgery on anyone after this brief passage), the electronic waves in your brain are on a scale from the most to the least activity. Those waves referred to as beta are activated when your brain is at its most awakened and aggressively engaged in mental activities. These waves are the fastest of the four brainwaves.
If you're in active conversation mode, you're in beta. A debater, public speaker or teacher is in high beta (with the exception of Rudy Giuliani). Anytime you're actively engaged in your work, you're in beta. So this is definitely not a brain function you can do well without. Those actively working to forward the agenda known as the "dumbing down of America" - they might want you to have it impeded. But that is a different subject, eh?
In a special x-ray picture from the test it shows how the left portion 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 suggest this effect could be getting caused by the presence of nanoparticles.
Basic point is that contaminated particles from diesel and other sources in the air are a serious concern that means trouble for both your body and your brain.
If you wish to help reduce pollution for your own better health and the health of your family and loved ones I have a great idea!
WATER4GAS is sharing information for a nominal fee which car owners can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. Because of the smaller size the system gets to use much more of the gas.
With WATER4GAS you can minimumly expect to increase your MPG by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those molecules "musta" been pretty darn big in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can increase your MPG.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?

Entrepreneur, songwriter, activist and consumer advocate, GARKO, has found that adding water to the gasoline in your car gives you diluted gasoline :). But he can show you one of the best alternative ways to save on gas which is to by adding hydrogen into the fuel system For a list of current gasoline prices in your neighborhood email garko@startlingdiscoveries.info
