What BP Doesn’t Want You to See
Philippe Cousteau, grandson of famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, who went underwater off the Gulf Coast to see first-hand what the Deepwater Oil Disaster looks and feels like. And the answer to the question “What doesn’t BP want you to see,” he came back with: “This is a nightmare.”
This report on detoxification is an emergency extension of the previous post on “Clinical Bioenergetics as the Holistic Cure to Disease.”The 16 May 60 Minutes special on the Deep Water Horizon Disaster in the Gulf was very revealing. Although BP vanity, greed, and gross negligence is officially to blame for this catastrophe, there is no guarantee that they will make restitution for all of the damage.“BP will be made to pay…” is not a promise made in good faith by any politician – especially from one who has made big money from BP – and especially since current law caps the liability of oil company disasters at US$75 million.In a recent report made in respect to the recent Gulf Oil Spill, Effects of Oil Spills on Marine and Coastal Wildlife by Holly K. Ober, Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University of Florida, There have been six major oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico including the most recent one happening at the moment:
Off-shore oil spills can have a large impact on many components of natural ecosystems. Some of the most conspicuous effects of oil spills are apparent among larger species of wildlife, such as marine mammals and seabirds.
The consequences of oil exposure to marine and coastal wildlife include both immediate impacts on health as well as long-term changes in behavior. In small doses, the presence of oil can cause temporary physical harm to animals. Types of trauma can include skin irritation, altering of the immune system, reproductive or developmental damage, and liver disease…
Carnivorous (animal-eating) wildlife, such as shorebirds that feed on clams, mussels, or worms buried in the intertidal area, may consume prey organisms that have been exposed to oil sediments washed onto the shoreline…
Top predators may become vulnerable to large quantities of pollutants through bioaccumulation (the increased concentration of toxins found at higher level of the food chain)…
History of oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico is home to a rich abundance of wildlife, including many threatened and endangered species. Six large oil spills have occurred in the Gulf of Mexico during recent times, providing important insight on how best to manage such catastrophes to minimize harmful effects to wildlife…
