Hello Paul,

    Thank You for spotting that one.    DU is heating up with the new leukemia data coming in, and it will surely promt some science from outside the US's bias.

   Wonderful that someone is onto the correct chain of thought and expessing common sense in newsprint.    One must use the correct technique to measure the DU, looking at the lung retention and lymph system burdens.   The lymph system will have high concentrations.   Then recognize that cancers principally come from malfunction of the immune system cells and not just the presence of the tumor cells.    Cancerous cell mutations happen constantly and a properly performing immune response takes care of these cells, and that is the root of the problem.

   One must also recognize that much of this cancer response data on DU in workers was collected long ago, and that most of the population has been exposed to much higher toxic loads, so it takes less these days to push their immune systems into malfunction.     When other long retained toxics come into play, ie pesticides and fluoride based nerve gases, the baseline resistance also changes.   50 years of fluoridation in a country can be a factor, as per the US.

   The tests for kidney excretion is a bogus method and everyone needs to call them on it.    If this heats up enough, the European science won't be so quick to buy the US and NATO BS on no problems.
