That's not something to be proud of. John Francis Queeny founds Monsanto, giving the company his wife's maiden name. Queeny, a purchaser for a wholesale drug house, forms his St.
Louis-based company in order to begin production of saccharin, an artificial sweetener developed in the latter part of the 19th century. The company expands to industrial chemicals and drugs and introduces now-banned polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs.
Monsanto creates its first hybrid seed corn and expands production of cleaners and synthetic rubbers and plastics.
Navy tests determine that the hydraulic fluid the company is trying to sell to the military is associated with liver damage in humans.
Congress bans production of PCBs after they were found to cause cancer, including damage to the liver, immune system, reproductive system, skin, eyes and brain. Learn the Details of the Green New Deal. Green Matters is a registered trademark. All Rights Reserved.

It may come as no surprise, then, that melatonin impairment has been implicated in autism. In healthy individuals, melatonin also plays an important role in inducing REM sleep, which may be the most important stage of sleep. If one recognizes that heavy metals play a part in the modern-day epidemic of neurological diseases, then part of the explanation for the sleep disorders encountered in various neurological diseases may be that both aluminum and mercury thimerosal disrupt the pineal gland and its ability to make sulfate.
The pineal gland is particularly susceptible to aluminum and other heavy metals because it is not protected by the blood-brain barrier and has a very high blood perfusion rate. Seneff from the national Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System VAERS is that insomnia occurs more often as an adverse reaction to aluminum-containing vaccines than to vaccines not containing aluminum.
Seneff noted that thimerosal is still very much relevant. Seneff pointed out that the article makes an important link between autism and sulfation, concluding that children with abnormal sulfation chemistry among other factors may be particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of the thimerosal in flu and other childhood vaccines. In fact, due to expanded recommendations for flu shots in pregnant women and young children, exposure to thimerosal through vaccination has remained widespread in the US, and more than half of all flu vaccine doses are still thimerosal-preserved.
Seneff has done a lot of investigations using the VAERS database, which—despite its limitations—can be very informative. She notes that concurrent with the aggressive peddling of thimerosal-containing flu shots and other aluminum-containing vaccines, there has been a rise in reporting of both vaccine adverse events and autism spectrum disorders. In a graph that speaks for itself Figure 2 below , she plotted the number of VAERS reports mentioning three types of adverse events autism, pervasive developmental disorders or PDDs, and anxiety disorder against the total burden of two heavy metals aluminum and mercury in vaccines according to the current vaccine schedule.
One can immediately see that the adverse event and heavy metals lines are quite similar. Moreover, both lines show a sharp spike around the year , which is when the burden of aluminum and thimerosal increased.
Seneff commented that while aluminum and thimerosal are each bad enough on their own, they also work synergistically to cause harm. Figure 2. Returning once again to the topic of sulfate, Dr. Seneff underscored the important and neglected fact that sunlight is absolutely essential for human health because of its role in catalyzing sulfate production.
We will be sulfate-deficient if we do not get enough sun. The pineal gland plays an important role in this process. Specifically, endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase—both of which are present in the pineal gland—produce sulfate from reduced sulfur sources catalyzed by sunlight.
When this process is impaired through lack of sunlight exposure, the result is sulfate deficiency and—where a serum sulfate deficiency is present—an individual will also have an impaired ability to dispose of aluminum. High-SPF sunscreens are one way in which the body can accumulate not-insignificant amounts of aluminum through skin absorption. Sunscreens contain aluminum nanoparticles, which are more dangerous than larger-sized aluminum particles and highly destructive in the brain.
Thus, contrary to popular opinion, use of sunscreen is neither beneficial nor safe. Seneff noted in passing that wearing sunglasses is also a terrible idea. Seneff further assessed the importance of sunlight by compiling data from demographic studies in the 50 states Table 1. Table 1. Correlation of sunlight exposure and autism in public school students in 50 states grades 1—6, — Public schools in the US keep track of the number of students enrolled in each grade, and they also keep track of the number of students enrolled in programs specifically targeting autism.
Using a ratio of these numbers, Dr. Seneff and co-investigators calculated a measure for autism in each state using grades one to six for the school year.
