Kyoto Hemp Forum Notes - Hemp Solution To Lead Caused Violence

How to reduce violence? Get rage causing lead out of the water. How? A combination of removing the lead using a natural process called phytoremediation from the soil and by using hemp and 3d printing to create a new infrastructure that does not have lead pipes yet does have ample water cleaning stations throughout the process from source to consumption.

It is time to review government approved legal levels of lead in our water and soil. There is substantial evidence that lead causes violent behavior going back to the age of Ancient Rome that used lead pipes to deliver water to citizens. The theory that 'Nero fiddled while Rome burned' is in reference to the people driven mad from the water flowing through the lead pipes from the aqueduct to the buildings. We can do a lot to save ourselves with a little bit of common sense. 

Even in modern times, whenever my attention is drawn to a USA violence problem, i.e. Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois, there is a problem with too much lead in the water in that city/town. The mental health condition use to be called plumber's or painter's colic. 

Princeton University issued a report:

"Violent and anti-social behavior is usually attributed to social factors, including poverty, poor education, and family instability. There is also evidence that many forms of violent behavior are more frequent in individuals of lower IQ. The role of exposure to environmental contaminants has received little attention as a factor predisposing to violent behavior. However a number of environmental exposures are documented to result in a common pattern of neurobehavioral effects, including lowered IQ, shortened attention span, and increased frequency of antisocial behavior. This pattern is best described for children exposed to lead early in life, but a similar pattern is seen upon exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and methyl mercury. Although not as extensively studied, similar decrements in IQ are seen upon exposure to arsenic and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. Prenatal and postnatal SHS exposure is also associated with increased rates of conduct disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity. Recent evidence suggests that temporal trends in rates of violent crime in many nations are consistent with earlier preschool blood lead trends, with a lag of about 20 years. These ecologic correlations are consistent with many controlled studies suggesting that lead exposed children suffer irreversible brain alterations that make them more likely to commit violent crimes as young adults. If this pattern is true for lead and other contaminants, the most effective way to fight crime may be to prevent exposure to these contaminants." May? It's time to stop being trifling and clean up our environment. The problem is not the gun, it is the mind controlling the finger on the trigger.

While some politicians lie and say the cause of violence is guns, the real cause of much if the violence could be too much lead in the water. That's something we can fix, thereby dramatically reduce our violence level from a proven root cause. At the bottom of this article is a list of studies and articles on the subject.





CNN’s United Shades covered the violence in Camden, NJ, a town with a lead problem since the last century. There's also Flint where the government intentionally put lead in the water and many other places. The water from Flint runs into Detroit. Chicago has old lead pipes built into its infrastructure. The list of areas with a lead problem is long and unattended. 

We must fix this by 5D, 4D, 3D printing a new infrastructure made from locally grown hemp to replace toxic lead in the pipes with non-toxic materials.  

When the problem is violence the solution is to peacefully resolve the issue. When the problem is lead as a cause of violent behavior, the solution is to clean up and/or safely restore the excess lead to it's natural position in the world. 


LEAD CAUSES VIOLENT BEHAVIOR - GET THE LEAD OUT! 
How? 

1. Use hemp to clean the soil via the science of phytoremediation.

Phytoextraction 

"Phytoextraction has been proven effective at a brownfields site in Trenton, New Jersey for remediation of lead-contaminated shallow soils (Blaylock et al., 1996). Approximately 50% of the lead was removed from the surface soil (~ 700 mg/kg) in order to achieve clean-up standards (400 mg/kg) in one year using Brassica juncea, a relative of the mustard family. For phytoextraction to be effective, one needs vigorously growing plants (and 3 tons dry matter/acre-yr), an easily harvestable aboveground portion, and a plant that accumulates large amounts of metals (~ 1000 mg/kg) in aboveground biomass. To achieve clean-up within three to five years, the plant must accumulate about ten times the level in soil (for example, if the level in soil is 500 mg/kg, then the concentration in the plant must be almost 5000 mg/kg to clean-up the soil in a few years). Some sites have metals that are bioavailable while others do not. Generally, cadmium, nickel, zinc, arsenic, and copper are relatively bioavailable while lead, chromium, and uranium are not taken-up and translocated to the harvestable biomass. Plants which accumulate nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, and selenium have been reported in the literature (Kumar et al., 1995). Zinc and boron are phytotoxic to some plants at levels above 200 mg/kg in soil. Addition of EDTA (0.5 to 10 µg EDTA/kg soil) has greatly enhanced the bioavailability of lead, but the enhancement must be weighed against the increased probability of lead migration to groundwater. Mathematical modeling of water movement and metals transport may be required to further understand the fate of lead under these conditions." (pages 14 and18 of the .pdf)

2. Use 5D, 4D and 3D printing to rebuild our infrastructure using hemp as the primary raw resource material. 

Clean water on the memory level i.e. Hydreva to remove toxins that cause both physical and mental health problems that are proven to be a cause of violence and many other problems in search of solutions. 


Above plants grown under identical conditions
with and without Hydreva

We must act now! A key to reducing violence is to remove the excess lead and other toxins that are harming us. We must combine science and common sense to reach necessary truths so we can restore balance. 

As was the case with crack and AIDS, the victims of government policies are blamed for not being able to overcome the scientific results. A report called The Color Of Crime, 2016 Edition was published that says the USA violence problem is rooted in race:

• "The evidence suggests that if there is police racial bias in arrests it is negligible. Victim and witness surveys show that police arrest violent criminals in close proportion to the rates at which criminals of different races commit violent crimes. • There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups. • In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race."Once again, it is time to look beyond the effect and get to the real cause of violence. I grew up in a large family in the middle of the last century with a back porch full of guns. Nobody shot anybody. 

 

The report does not factor in what's called environmental racism, where minority communities are subjected to excess amounts of lead and other toxins. For example, with buildings from the 1930's and 40's still standing in use, Harlem is surrounded by 5 open sewers, 3 of 4 sides with major highways in close range that use to throw off lead from the cars, etc. 

Of course with nuclear, fracking, GMO's, oil spill technology, etc., it's getting environmentally bad for all of us.

I'm still researching and putting this tapestry together. 

  • What if hemp can help reduce violence and lead poisoning? 
  • What if the peace pipe gives folks an opportunity to engage in non-violent conflict resolution? 
  • Can medical marijuana, like Rick Simpson's Oil, help with physical conditions created by lead exposure, which is creating a lot of stress in people's lives? 

We already know based on results the answer to those questions.  

Below is a list of studies, papers, articles on the subject of lead as a cause of violent behavior i.e. Harvard paper and a Mother Jones piece. Forbes  also has an excellent article on the subject.

My blog entry Phytoremediation - Nature's Peaceful Solution To Industrial Pollution has many articles and videos on the science of phytoremediation, i.e. 


"Overall, phytoremediation has great potential for cleaning up toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more than 30,000 sites in the United States alone require hazardous waste treatment. Restoring these areas and their soil, as well as disposing of the wastes, are costly projects, but the costs are expected to be reduced drastically if plants provide the phytoremediation results everyone is hoping for." 






Govt. knew about Camden lead problem since the beginning of this century, at least







NY  lead-pubs

This piece is a continuation of the work done at an amazing meeting in Kyoto, Japan on July 2, 2016, the Kyoto Hemp Forum, produced by the Japan Hemp Association. The event discussed the hemp solution to climate change. 

This international gathering radically intensified research on the need to, as Paul Stanford says, RESTORE HEMP! The group is going forward to promote and unite farmers to get hemp and other phytoremediation seeds into the ground.


In addition to climate change, hemp phytoremediation removes many toxic metals from the soil with its 6 foot root system. One of those metals is lead, a cause of many physical health problems and violent behavior.

It's old school knowledge that the best way to solve a problem is at the level of cause. Since one of the cases of violence is lead, it's time to get the lead out. 

It's Time4Hemp. 


Let me know what you think, please.

Thanks.

Fix Fukushima Fast - Hemp & 3D Printing Solution Summit - Notes!

THE PROBLEM

 

Fukushima - What Happened



Hemp In The Nuclear Age Details

Problem: Elevated nuclear radiation readings from various Geiger Counters around the world. USA South West is being fried, possibly as a result of Fukushima, WIPP, historic nuclear testing development and the "leaks from the nuclear plant, i.e. in the USA, from the first nuclear plant in Idaho to beyond the biggest, Palo Verde in Arizona . Based on results, we’ve proven we have not evolved sufficiently to control nuclear energy.  There is no such thing as safe nuclear radiation exposure according to Dr. Helen Caldicott.



Solution: Like Casper Leitch says, it's Time 4 Hemp. 

To fix Fukushima: Entomb nuclear radiation sources in scientifically calculated for depth, doubled, 3D printed layers using the contour crafting technique of hempcrete, lead, tungsten and hemp plastic. Solving our nuclear crisis is one of the keys to continuing life on earth.  The key chain is truth and hemp is a charm. 
  • 3D printing gives us the ability to make a 2,500 square foot house in less than 24 hours, with entire building constructed using the technique.  
  • Hemp is a biomass champion, when combined with other safe elements, that can be used to entomb “leaking” nuclear facilities.  
  • Hemp phytoremediation can help clean soil. 
  • Medical marijuana, Ibogaine, nutrition, etc. help with cancer, maybe brain seizure issues, both physical and mental, that are here and must be dealt with now, before it gets worse. Use medical marijuana and other therapies that work for the cancers and seizures we know are here and may come from the high nuclear levels. 
That's the truth and we need to use it to set ourselves free.  Elevated radiation levels equals elevated cancer and seizure rates.  Speaking of seizures, it is the two brain seizures I've experienced over the last year that got me focused on this issue from a big picture perspective. 

As a side note, we can 3d print in hemp ocean water desalination plants and pipes.

“3D Printing” in this conversation includes 4D (self assembling) and 5D Printing too. Hemp is agricultural, industrial, medical, religious and recreational. It's best use is determined by is it male or female and how is it processed and consumed. Especially since cleaning up our highly radioactive environment should be everybody’s goal, all hands are required on deck to clean up our environmental, especially nuclear mess now.  

Of course adequately shielded robots, drones, and remote controlled big earth moving equipment are required too to cut off radiation escaping from the source, be it a plant or waste facility.

Most importantly, we must use the tool of unity to solve this and other crisis situations.  

The nuclear radiation goal is to return to natural radiation levels, what were they in the 1930's, before it's too late. TEPCO is doing a heroic job trying to fix what is called a "leak", more like a gusher, since 2011, the job is not close to complete.     

Now is the time to grow hemp everywhere possible to remove excess radiation from the soil. Hemp with it's six foot root system is a great phytoremediator. 

"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." -President George Washington, 1794 

What has me focused on this issue is my own health problems over the last year over what has otherwise been a healthy, almost 63 year old life. I've lived in Arizona a long time and I suspect the nuclear radiation levels contributed to the health situation I am healing. 

As demonstrated in Dr. Seuss’ book HORTON HEARS A WHO, we need all voices to break through and deal with the nuclear crisis now. The hemp solution factors in all the elements necessary to make our world better. Ibogaine can help with mental health issues like drug addictions and Parkinson’s. Nutritional support like what Dr. Joel Wallach is talking about to fight cancers and other conditions caused by chronic increased nuclear radiation exposure, should be included for conversation too in implementing solutions. 



Concept: 

ONLY TRUTH CAN SET US FREE.

Solving our nuclear crisis is one of the keys to continuing life on earth.  The key chain is truth. 

The mission of this on line chat is to share the knowledge and expand the concepts discussed.  A secondary benefit of an on line conference where folks can either chat, hold on line classes, whatever it works out as, this will serve to give activist new information from folks who know what they are talking about. 

Everyone is invited.  Independent YouTube video uploads with links are encouraged for detailed information.  Like the old school pot luck dinners, folks are welcome to bring their own links. The research is still in process.

Hang Out 

Who: Concerned Citizens of Sun – any human who wants to learn and/or add ideas as to how we can use hemp and 3D Printing to fix Fukushima. Solutions are not limited to that as it is the big picture that is the best guide, only the truth is true.

What: On line conference where folks share information and their feelings about solving many modern problems due to our poor decision making skills, i.e. “safe nuclear energy”, war, ‘making nature our bitch’. 

We have the technology and the ability to grow the raw resource materials necessary to accomplish the task, i.e. build ocean water desalinization plants and pipes using hempcrete, hemp plastic and papers.

When: This work continues until effective solutions are in place to save us from stupid decisions. 


Why: Because we’ve made parts of nature illegal and wonder why we have problems with the environment.  If we change the way we live and support nature, she will stop supporting us, or as George Carlin said ‘shake us off like a bad case of fleas.’ 

How: Using social media create a synergy of ideas, skills and resources to support the environment, i.e. human life on earth.  Change from what is killing us to what will empower us.

Topics – uploaded videos – conversation rooms – feedback centers could include, but certainly not limited to

HEMP AS A RAW RESOURCE MATERIAL FOR 

4D AND 3D PRINTING FILAMENT


Hemp paper
Hemp plastics
Hemp foods
Hemp fabrics
Hempcrete
Hemp woods
Hemp inks and varnishes
Hemp oils
Hemp biofuels


3D PRINTING

Dr. Behrikh Khoshnevis, inventor contour crafting technique that can build a 2,500 sq. foot house in under 24 hours. 



We can use 3D printing’s contour crafting technique, robots and big earth moving equipment to 360 degrees entomb Fukushima, WIPP, 16,000 cracks in a Belgian nuclear plant, etc. 

We can also use the same technique to build ocean water desalinization plants and pipes out of locally grown hemp, radically reducing costs and enabling greater environmental resistance capabilities like rounded edges and a hemp plastic covering printed from the design.

HEMP AS A NUCLEAR PHYTOREMEDIATION TOOL – NUCLEAR and CO2

MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR THE CHRONIC, ELEVATED NUCLEAR RADIATION EXPOSURE CANCERS AND POSSIBLY BRAIN SEIZURES

IBOGAINE, RELIGIOUS AND RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA FOR THE TROUBLED SOUL

Religious and recreational marijuana / cannabis also have mind relaxing benefits, resembling the old saying ‘relax the animal so your spirit can soar.’ Given the double dynamic of stress contributes to cancer and medical marijuana plus pray have a long history as healing agents, this should be part of a healthy strategy for some. 

IBOGAINE

This mission requires all hands on deck.  Ibogaine breaks drug addictions quickly by introducing a person to their soul, the foundation of who they are.  Though much more complicated than that, that’s how the addiction is broken.

Ibogaine has other healing effects which is why it must be incorporated in this conversation of what can we do and how can we do it to achieve the goal of the healing of humanity.  Religious and recreational marijuana / cannabis also have mind relaxing benefits, resembling the old saying ‘relax the animal so your spirit can soar.’ Of course we can 3D print marijuana cakes in various religious and celebratory configurations. Oh the possibilities.


Speaking of possibilities, Dana Beal is working to open an Ibogaine clinic in Afghanistan so donate if you can.

Save women and children from the scourge of heroin. 1.6 million addicts. Contribute to Ibogaine for Afghanistan today!



Save women and children from the scourge of heroin. 

MMS, Dr. Joel Wallach's vitamins and minerals, meditation, anything we can do with a proven result of curing cancer...yes Tommy Chong was cured of cancer.  A good source for cannabis CBD oil is Crystal Pure CBD.

3D PRINTED OCEAN WATER DESALINATION PLANTS AND DISTRIBUTION PIPES FROM HEMPCRETE AND HEMP PLASTIC WITH HEMP PAPER AS PART OF THE WATER FILTERS
We need water to grow the hemp plants, and other things too.  In addition to declaring a drought emergency in California and Washington states, we could marshal resources to built water desalination plants out of hempcrete and hemp plastics / woods/ fabrics...  

CROP FINANCED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HEMP SOLUTION

ACTION PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THE HEMP SOLUTION.

Print the entombment for both the reactors and nuclear waste storage.

Print shells on existing structures to reduce indoor radiation.

Use medical marijuana and ibogaine to strengthen body and soul for survival in this, the nuclear age.

Phytoremediate the land with hemp and use hemp printed water desalination plants to clean ocean water for consumption by plants and animals....remember, we're animals too. 

Educate to stimulate new ideas sharpened with truth. Only the truth is true no matter how we look at it. 

Paraphrasing Bernice from TrueTV 'In a conversation based on facts, what you believe does not matter.' Hemp and 3D printing can help fix Fukushima and many other modern problems. That's a fact.

Bottom line, the time to solve our toxic environment mess is now. This first in a series of summits is about fixing the nuclear piece.  

RESEARCH LIBRARY being built i.e. media Time4Hemp, Cannabis Common Sense, High Times, Marijuana Business Media, The Leaf OnLine,  and pages / blog entries on recommended sites / insights and prayers to heal the harm we have done and better stop doing now.

This research is being done with many great souls to be listed shortly. 

Notes are posted click here.

Idea development and implementation continues.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE NUCLEAR ENERGY!
WE'VE ALL BEEN EXPOSED!

‘It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.’ The only thing that should be illegal in nature is to rape her in any form, like GMOs, fracking, drug war…. for example. 

I'll post links to updates as they become available.

We have lots of proof that the hemp solution works, just it's been a lot of work, mostly self financed, to pull together these elements.  Going forward anyway.


Please donate if you can.

Time4Hemp: Fukushima, Medical Marijuana and 3D Printing - Initial Program Production Approval

Can medical marijuana help with the rising cancer rates from Fukushima?

How can we apply fast growing, easily renewable hemp to the 3D Printing process?

Can we use the 3D Printing technique of contour crafting to entomb the buildings and water tanks at Fukushima?
---
I am overjoyed to announce that marijuana pioneer and hemp hero  Casper Leitch has approved the idea still in development to do at least two radio and web programs on his Time4Hemp Global Broadcasting Network with the possibility of any of the other 20+ hosts doing their own specials on the hemp solution to Fukushima.

As a point of understanding how dire the situation is, Dr. Michio Kaku explains in the video above the extinction level event (unless we fix this now - we are almost out of time) of the triple nuclear meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima plant.  Hemp is such a versatile, strong and nourishing plant that we should be using to not only address our nuclear crisis, but also to help us fix the age old problems of food, health, clothes and shelter.  Hemp is a tool we must use to co-create a better world.

One of the most extraordinary things about this original marijuana broadcast series that's been running for almost a quarter of a century, Time4Hemp, is the international bridges the network is building in the movement. 

The internet is an extraordinary tool for ever greater interaction by both 3/11 and 4/20 events all over the world (Japan, Europe, South America, USA, etc.).  Gatherings and individuals can share their insights as part of the programs in live chat rooms.  

Due to program time restrictions, we may have a Time4Overtime where folks can upload their thoughts and highlights of their events before, during or after the program, allowing us to step beyond the illusion of time. 

Medical marijuana as an aid in dealing with the illnesses that are affecting folks. 

The video below is of Beyond Nuclear hero, the great Kevin Kamps, who has appeared on Time4Hemp over the years since this nuclear crisis began along with other leaders of the anti-nuclear movement.  

Some of the general topics and questions (initial, unedited thoughts)for the programs include: 

Medical Marijuana and Fukushima cancers
·        Why should we be using cannabis to deal with the cancers that come as a result of increased radiation exposure?
·        How does hemp heal?
·        Is cannabis better than pharmaceutical cancer medicines and treatments?
·        What is the record for cannabis healing cancer?
·        Is there enough nutrition in hemp food to strengthen our bodies?
·        What are the various methods for consuming medical marijuana?
·        Is one marijuana strain better than the other for dealing with cancer?
·        Should we grow my own medicine? If so how should we start?
  
The second special(s) will be on April 20, 2014 and will focus on how to best use hemp in the 3D / 4D printing evolution as printer filaments.  Of course this covers a lot of materials like concrete which can be used for, for example, contour crafting (demonstrated in the video below) Fukushima’s entombment or build a 2,500 sq. foot house in a day; hemp foods for nutritious and delicious meals; hemp fabrics for clothing and furniture; hemp plastics for various items…oh the possibilities that growing our own filament and/or having an easily renewable low cost raw resource material available opens up.

                       

Initial questions for the 4/20 hemp and 3D Printing program include

·        What are the benefits of 3D / 4D Printing in hemp?
·        What are the best ways to use hemp to address the triple nuclear melt down going on at Fukushima?
·        How can hemp help make the 3D/4D printers, and for contour printing, the gantries for the big print jobs, i.e. a 2,500 sq. ft. house in 24 hours? 
·        Why is hemp a perfect filament for 3D Printing. 
·        What are the basic recipes for filament in the various uses and what is the modification ratio for each use, toxic to non-toxic hemp?
·        3D Printing hemp foods, i.e. textured vegetable protein that simply replaces soy flour with hemp flour, weed dogs and hemp burgers – print, cook and eat.  The recreational markets can add the cancer cure oil to some of their dishes.
·        Hemp fabrics 3D printed into various fashions and upholstery uses.
·        Hemp paper vs. wood paper for 3D printing. Printing in hemp woods. What is the difference in the results on all levels?
·        Best books and other resources list for agriculture, building materials, medicine, prayer, etc.
·        Hemp building materials and retrofitting existing housing to reduce indoor pollution, and lower interior radiation levels.
·        Architecture and 3D printing in hemp, a conversation /
Q and A
·        How can we crop finance the hemp solution?
·        How do we set up a hemp based banking system that includes a variety of currencies?
·        What are the business, job, creative opportunities hemp brings to the 3D / 4D printing marketplace?

The report on hemp and 3D / 4D printing is posted that my friends and I did with our brother and fellow Hemp For Victory missionary, the late Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum, is posted with links to more reports and articles throughout the blog post.
