RV: Incandescent lightbulbs to be phased out-- will Mexico do the same?

[Guest guest]

Additional comment: the autism rate is growing rapidly here too, with the additional disadvantage of having very little autism dedicated organisations, 3 docs doing DAN similar protocols, very very little known about bio-med or dietary interventions. So most kids here receive the wrong diagnose and are destined to a life of third-world used psychotropic meds or being in a mental institution. Horribly sad.....most are declared mentally defficient and don't even have the slightest chance for proper treatment.

Look at the vaccine program here, it is a copy of that in the US and they don't even take into account the differencies between the two countries / populations. I am afraid it will happen here too, sooner or later. Until this moment, l have no official notice it is law enforced here, but yes l have seen incandescent light bulbs are getting seldom in the market. Sorry for not answering soon, have been too busy, l saw your mail to my personal inbox and l am answering here cuz l think this topic might be interesting to several. Thank you for informing on this. Blessings!IsaEnviado desde mi oficina móvil BlackBerry® de TelcelSender: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 14:55:32 -0000To: <BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism >ReplyTo: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Subject: Incandescent lightbulbs to be phased out-- will Mexico do the same? It turns out the USA is going to be phasing out incandescent light bulbs starting in 2012. I heard from a Canadian friend that Canada will be phasing them out as well. Does anyone know if Mexico will do the same or have any other ideas for alternative safe light sources? Mexico is an awfully long drive just to buy lightbulbs.Following a 2007 bill signed into law byPresident W. Bush, the US government will ban the sale of 100watt traditional incandescent light bulbs and replace them with toxicCFLs by January 1, 2012, followed by the 75-watt version in Jan. 2013,and the 60- and 40-watt bulbs in Jan. 2014. This will follow on theheels of the Europeans who began to phase out incandescent bulbs in 2009and by 2016 the EU also plans to ban halogen bulbs, forcing people touse compact fluorescents.That CFLs are harmful is not new information. It is well known that theycontain toxic mercury, a neurotoxin that can damage the brain, liver,kidneys and central nervous system. The bulbs are marketed as " safe " aslong as the glass remains intact. The danger comes, reports FoxNews(http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/...), if the bulbs are cracked,broken or not disposed of properly causing the toxic dust to spread intothe air. Just one fluorescent light bulb contains enough mercury tocontaminate 6,000 gallons of water and in humans to impair motorfunctioning, cognitive ability and emotional stability.Moreover, the " dirty energy " emitted by CFLs produces radiation that hasbeen linked with migraine headaches, sleep abnormalities, fatigue, andother health defects while the flickering of fluorescent bulbs causesdizziness, headaches, weakness and illness in some sensitive people.
