AIDS, Asthma, Allergies, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Meningitis, Multiple Sclerosis and the Ozone Hole. Is there a common factor?

The initial reaction when suggesting the existence of a common factor embracing all of these maladies and many more besides is usually met with scepticism, yet Pollution Research Chemist Chris Baskerville, following some 30 years of conducting his self financed research project, initially directed at determining the extent to which Indoor Air Pollution is present in the modern home, is suggesting that there is one such common factor. In each of these afflictions , it is the presence and activity of the organic chemical Formaldehyde; the chemical formula for which is HCHO, which together with its myriad number of different polymeric structures, exists all around us.

It is his thesis that in each instance of occurrence of adverse health in an individual, it is the body chemistry that is of crucial importance, in particular the concentration and the form of the polymeric formaldehyde that is present on and within the human body. He postulates that each specific disease requires a chemical environment (actually a specific polymer of formaldehyde) in order for the development for the attacking organism to thrive and the disease to flourish; now if by imbibing, for instance, an anti-biotic, or a complementary medical treatment, such that the body chemistry (type of formaldehyde polymer) is changed so it is less favourable to the attacking organism, then a recovery in health ensues. That this hypothesis is indeed correct can be verified by determining the concentration and type of formaldehyde polymer that is present on the human body, by analysis of a sample of hair or body sweat.

The concentrations of formaldehyde polymer so determined on samples of hair of those suffering various afflictions, indicate that those suffering substantial ill health, typically have polymeric formaldehyde concentrations in excess of 100 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and also that this polymer is chemically very unstable, whereas concentrations of formaldehyde of less than 50mg/kg is usually found on the hair of the healthy, and that this is very much more chemically stable.

Now should by analysis of the body hair, it can be indeed established that high concentrations of unstable polymeric formaldehyde and ill health always coincide – no matter what the ailment is whether AIDS or meningitis or influenza etc, then the question needs to be asked what is the triggering mechanism responsible for this atypical body biochemical state coming about. In the instance of meningitis this change in body chemistry proceeds very rapidly indeed, with the mal-organism causing death to occur within a few days of onset. Now assuming it is the electrical output of the brain that is in overall control of body chemistry, (to ensure that the formaldehyde polymer on and within the body is neither too high in concentration nor too chemically unstable), then any agent in our environment which is a formaldehyde depolymerising catalyst will upset this equilibrium and a disease will set in. One classic albeit very severe depolymerising agent is the intense radio-activity such that experienced by Russian workers who initially tackled the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, all of whom died within 6 months of being irradiated. However in our environment there are many other depolymerising agents including non-ionising radiation, traversing magnetic fields both due to the Earth's magnetic field and to the electro-magnetic field radiating from electricity power lines. Hence the shorter life expectancy of inter-continental air crew, due to them regularly traversing through the Earth's magnetic field (Ref 1.) and those working in the electrical supply industry or residing near to electricity power lines. Even lightning and magnetic storms from outer space are prime depolymerising agents, as is Cometry debris and Man-made Earth Orbitals. Each of these as they traverse through the Solar Wind, generates magnetic pulses which then initiate formaldehyde depolymerisation in all living organisms. The devastating aspect for Humanity is that while Cometry debris only passes once, all Earth orbitals regularly cut through the Solar Wind many at frequency of every 100 minutes, and continue to do so for many years. It is these magnetic pulses which it is suggested are responsible for the current asthma and allergy epidemic and AIDS. It is further proposed that HIV infection is a consequence of AIDS not the cause, which is due to disturbed body biochemistry, with all those suffering from AIDS having bodies with inordinately high concentrations of unstable polymeric formaldehyde.

Now directing attention at asthmatics and allergics; it is postulated that both these groups will have very unstable polymeric formaldehyde upon their bodies, such that when they experience an activating catalyst, such examples being traffic fumes or a volatile fungicide, then monomer formaldehyde forms around them, inducing an asthmatic attack, severe skin itching or a panic attack. This activating catalyst need not necessarily be an external agent but could be the brain generating sufficient energy to catalyse formaldehyde depolymerisation, this explains the phenomenon of someone with an allergy to cats experiencing an allergic reaction, even when the cats are only seen on television; indeed this lends support to those say that, allergies are 'all in the mind', which in some instances can indeed be correct.

Proceeding on to Multiple Sclerosis; this arises when the myelin sheath around nerve tissues becomes destroyed, with recent research indicating the presence of an adsorbed sugar on the myelin sheath perhaps being responsible. Ref 2. Now polymeric formaldehyde being paramagnetic is attracted to electricity conducting cable and this induces rats to gnaw at such cables because polymeric formaldehyde is closely akin to sugar. The nerve fibres within the human body are affected in exactly this same way, with polymeric formaldehyde attracted to the nerve fibres by magnetic attraction through the skin, to then destroy the myelin sheath. A Multiple Sclerosis relapse will then occur whenever a formaldehyde depolymerising agent is encountered in our environment, such examples being an intense magnetic storm, or encountering insecticides, herbicides or passing under high voltage power transmission cables. The activating agent may even be self generated coming from the brain when experiencing severe shock for instance. Such examples being the experience of 'hair standing on end' or in the case of a prisoner about to be hanged, 'having hair that goes white overnight'. In the case of MS for this prognosis to be proved valid, it needs to be demonstrated that high concentrations of unstable polymeric formaldehyde must be shown to exist in that area of the body being affected.

The degeneration of brain tissues occurring in the instance of onset of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's can be similarly explained by paramagnetic polymeric formaldehyde migrating into the brain, to induce nerve cell destruction. It is suggested that the same mechanism is responsible for the creation of the Ozone Holes over the North and South Magnetic Poles with the paramagnetic polymeric formaldehyde migrating there by magnetic attraction, to then chemical convert Ozone O3, to Oxygen O2. The source of this excessive production of formaldehyde being stimulated by the magnetic fluctuations generated by Earth Orbitals crossing through the Solar Wind, it being an intermediary chemical produced when plants create cellulose by the process of photosynthesis. (Ref 3). The failure of the Irish potato crop due to leaf blight (Ref 4.) it is suggested was due to this same type of magnetic fluctuation, but on this occasion being created by each of the 5 major comets observed between 1843 and 1847 as they passed through the Solar Wind. Ref 5.

The foregoing prognoses can be demonstrated to be valid or fallacious, by analysis of body chemistry (hair or body sweat). In respect to the Ozone Hole, by finding on analysis for polymeric formaldehyde in the atmosphere, an increase in concentration towards the Polar Regions dropping to zero at the Ozone Holes. Should these investigations establish the veracity of this scenario, then the undertaking of the necessary counter- measures (the recovery of the majority of the 100,000 or more Earth orbiting items launched since October 1957 yet still in orbit) is vital for the well being of Humanity, notwithstanding the political and commercial consequences. To do nothing is a threat to the very existence of Humanity.

Could Formaldehyde Pollution Be A Cause of MS?

After doing thousands of tests, Dr Baskerville found “extraordinarily elevated” concentrations of formaldehyde on the body, clothing and hair of all those with MS. Typically, they had up to 10 times the concentrations on their body hair compared to those without MS : 200 milligrams per kilogram compared to 20 mg/kg.
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Cot Death may also be linked to formaldehyde, according to Chris Baskerville’s hypothesis.

How Do You Get Polluted with Formaldehyde?
Pollution from formaldehyde can happen either due to contamination from the environment or excessive self-generation. Formaldehyde is probably being generated by most living organisms, including humans, and also by vegetation where it is an intermediate product in the process of photosynthesis of carbon dioxide into cellulose by green plants.
Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous indoor and outdoor gaseous air pollutant very attracted to water, so rainfall will regularly remove it from the atmosphere, but the first rain that falls is horrendously contaminated with formaldehyde. It is also a solid pollutant in the polymeric state forming a toffee like goo, for example on fridge ice boxes. It regularly blocks drainage ducts in supermarket freezers and domestic fridges.
You can see formaldehyde growing into a fluffy polymer by leaving a glass tumbler of water in the home exposed to the air for a few days.

There is a higher incidence of MS in homes or environments which:
• Use natural gas cookers rather than electricity or solid fuel cookers.
• Use a grill under a gas hob at the same time.
• Are furnished with MDF furniture, flooring or panelling. (Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. Formaldehyde resins are commonly used to bind MDF together, and MDF products emit urea-formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds that pose health risks at sufficient concentrations. Urea-formaldehyde is always being slowly released from the surface of MDF. )
• Have cavity wall foam insulation with UF (urea formaldehyde) - now banned world-wide.
• Use re-circulating warm air central heating systems. (eg inside aeroplanes).
• Have high levels of electronic smog, such as around airports and TV/mobile Phone transmitters.
• Where ‘Ley Lines’ are crossed. These can be detected by dowsing rods.
Other sources of formaldehyde include:
• People who are ill or who have allergies.
• New clothes – always wash before wearing
• Washing machine fumes

Agents which activate formaldehyde include:
• Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides
• Chlorinated chemicals such as bleach
• Wood preservatives
• Highly chlorinated water.
• The flu vaccine contains formaldehyde.
• Non-ionising radiation

How Can You Tell If You Have Formaldehyde Pollution?
This can be detected by analysing hair, sweat, bedding or clothing.

Getting Rid of Formaldehyde Pollution
Chris Baskerville says that many treatments for MS will reduce the concentration of polymeric formaldehyde. These include yoga, diet, the Alexander Technique, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen, homoeopathy, exercise and some orthodox drugs.
The best way to control or reduce formaldehyde pollution is by removing all the factors in your environment which bring it about (see lists above).

To get rid of formaldehyde pollution:
• Bathe regularly in mildly acidic water (PH of 4) to which small quantities of sodium metabisulphate and vinegar have been added. This mimics the bathing techniques practised at sulphur springs health spas. The bath needs to be followed by taking a normal shower. By doing this you get a more normal concentration and chemical activity of the formaldehyde polymer on and within the body
• Soak the hair with vinegar using a flannel, then lay flannel on hair and place a plastic hair cap over flannel and hair. Use close-fitting safety goggles while doing this to minimize the risk of getting vinegar into your eyes. Then put a bobble hat over cap and leave for as long as possible – up to an hour or so, and then wash hair as usual.
• Bedding and clothing can be decontaminated by soaking them in the above bathing solution.
• Wash, dry and use clothes immediately, never store for a period before using, unless kept in a sealed container.
• Vent washing machine gases outside – the highest level of formaldehyde indoor air contamination ever found was in a laundrette.

Reduce indoor air pollutants by:
• Using air conditioning.
• Live and sleep where there are low levels of electronic smog.
• Use domestic humidifiers and dehumidifiers together.
• Nicotine appears to make formaldehyde less chemically active. Info Box

now cancer

What causes ill health and cancer?

I think I have sussed out just how and why your current health situation (cancer) has developed, and what you may be able to do to alleviate the situation. It will be in addition to that which the orthodox medicos and I, would recommend for you to do.
The theory developed is that cancers and indeed all illnesses will only develop when body biochemistry is an ideal habitat for the attacking organism, though aggressive cancers are in a slightly different category as these are usually due to an external agent (all known carcinogens) triggering the body biochemical destabilization that is necessary for hyper-active cell (cancerous) growth to occur.
Now under normal states of good health, body bio-chemistry will be controlled by the electrical output of the human brain. However when an external force super-imposes itself over and above this electrical out-put of the brain, body bio-chemistry goes haywire, and this I suspect is what has happened in your own case.

That this prediction of body bio-chemical destabilization, is indeed correct can be confirmed by direct chemical analysis of body sweat and/or body hair for the concentration, type and chemical stability of polymeric formaldehyde, which is an essential constituent of all living matter.

Now assuming that this atypicality in body biochemistry can be confirmed by analytical determination, the source of this external agent that has initiated this disturbance in body chemistry needs to be identified , and then if possible counter-measures implemented.
The observations and measurement we made during my last visit, would indicate that a prime external force destabilizing your own body chemistry is the pulsed electro magnetic radiation coming from a nearby source. Getting it switched off is a long term goal, not only for your own benefit but also because others in the locality are also being affected and have been in the past, but are no longer with us.
The electrical measurements we made of the current and voltage from your body when holding the earthed lead is most informative, and enables quantification of the energy source that is destabilizing your body chemistry and initiating your cancerous conditions to develop. The aim of counter-measures is to reduce these currents and voltages to as near zero as possible.
We will need to discuss just what counter-measures it is feasible to be implemented and whether other areas where you have resided and spent time within, may be similarly problematical to your state of health and well being.

An atypical body bio-chemical explanation for the abuse of the elderly? - A Pollution Chemist's Viewpoint.
[message sent to the BBC Radio 4 this week but ignored]

On hearing your Radio 4 essay I would like you to be aware of the alternative environmental pollutant explanation for what is responsible for initiating the abuse of the elderly. It is the existence of an atypical , body bio-chemistry, (which can be analytically verified by analysis of hair or body sweat) that in turn is primarily being created by exposure to Global Physical Pollution, that is both naturally occurring and is also being created by the activities of Man-kind.
Much of this scenario is amplified in the article that is available at "A Sane Scientist Speaks" with more at "could formaldehyde pollution". - 2 articles here - but the one on MS has some errors which I would have corrected had I seen the article before it was published. Amazingly this has generated only minimal response from those with MS, including those researching into the cause of MS.
It would appear that academia either understands everything or nothing,(e.g. Alzheimer's Researchers) as I am officially informed that - the Dept of Health - have no plans to commission (further?) research. This ambiguous response, contradicts their 1984 response, which was then 'to view with some interest' my then earlier somewhat similar research conclusions.
On the more mundane level, this (the gross bodily contamination with chemically unstable polymeric formaldehyde) is the chemical explanation for the vulgar phrase - 'Go away you give me a pain in the ass', which is literally quite correct, as indeed it does, and also the phrase 'The very smell of fear', as a state of extreme stress, also induces this state of disturbed body chemistry. This was described unwittingly by George Orwell in his book - Burmese Days, on his witnessing of a public hanging, when a stray dog came up to lick the face of the prisoner just prior to the execution taking place.
The irritating chemical (formaldehyde) that is being bodily produced in excess quantities when we are in such a stressed state, then undergoes polymerization to form a sweet tasting sugar, which is why the dog did what he did, and the socially unaware are termed 'window lickers' , for indeed they do just this, being attracted by the sweet toffee tasting goo, that forms on to inside surface of windows where ever a high humidity exists, and also regularly blocks the drainage channels of Super-market refrigeration equipment.
The bodily contamination of a mammal or plant with a specific formaldehyde polymer is the necessary habitat for a disease to develop, from the development of cancer, AIDS or meningitis in humans, to Ash Tree Die Back in trees, or the fungus that caused the disease of the Irish potato in the 1840's
Meanwhile I sulk, because I keep taking my harp to the party yet nobody, (such as the media), will ask me to play. Since 1984 that is, when BBC Radio 4, last permitted me air time access. Those that do understand remain stumm. One muttered - you can't say that . At least the CAA, and perhaps Boeings, will listen as to just why lithium-ion batteries blow-up in conditions of high humidity, when at the same time, encountering gaseous formaldehyde , (being produced by highly stressed passengers) but who else is doing so? UEA (Climate Research Dept) perhaps; with my suggesting that formaldehyde activation within vegetation, being triggered by Global Physical Pollution, is also the cause of the Ozone Holes and depletion of the protective Ozone Layer and hence melting of the Arctic Ice Cap. Formaldehyde has para-magnetic properties, thus being attracted to the Earth's geomagnetic Poles, to then chemically reduce Ozone to Oxygen. Positive responses from other Universities have been minimal.
I hope you will not find this email too disturbing. Perhaps it should never have been written, but your brilliant essay did inspire to do so, and I am not getting any younger. It would be such a shame, if the 30 years of research that has been conducted in support of these words, were all to be lost on my demise. It even provides the chemical explanation for how J.C. by touching water, could turn it into (almost) wine, actually a sweet tasting liquid of polymerized formaldehyde, and the scientific mechanism of how the 'miracles' health cures at Lourdes come about - by achieving the necessary alteration in body bio-chemistry.for mal-organisms to no longer thrive.
Likewise how and why conventional medicine (and alternative medical techniques) can achieve a cure for many diseases.
