Getting cancer is a lot like playing Powerball with your health and mortality. Like Powerball, you need to get all 10 to “win.” Unlike Powerball, there are only 10 numbers to choose from — nine regular numbers and the #10 “bonus” Powerball that increases your chances of winning the jackpot — dying. Powerball: Jackpot winning […]

New FDA study draft of BPA safety is substandard science & repeats previous fatal errors
By Lewis Perdue Chairman, Co-Founder, Center for Research on Environmental Chemicals in Humans Co-Principal Investigator, Stealth Syndromes Human Study Last Friday’s draft of a new study by the FDA on the safety of the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) is a glaring example of substandard federal regulatory science that continues to place public health at risk. […]
Building a Better Baby Bottle Dispatches from the great plastics war
In the summer of 2016: [A] small Texas-based company began marketing a plastic baby bottle it claims is the first on the market to be “guaranteed” safe from health risks associated with bottles made from commonly used bisphenol-A (BPA). “The rollout is modest; the company is selling the bottle on a website and using […]
BPA alternative disrupts normal brain-cell growth, is tied to hyperactivity, study says
In a groundbreaking study, researchers have shown why a chemical once thought to be a safe alternative to bisphenol-A, which was abandoned by manufacturers of baby bottles and sippy cups after a public outcry, might itself be more harmful than BPA. University of Calgary scientists say they think their research is the first to show […]

Heat Shock Protein Hsp27 points to causal link between BPA and cancer & chemotherapy resistance
NOTE: This is a case study using a new precision paradigm on how to assess risks of environmental chemicals by reliance on the pharmaceutical development process and its science. More about that new paradigm at: Precision evaluation of environmental chemical risk assessment The development of a cancer’s resistance to chemotherapy has become a disheartening and […]
Precision evaluation of environmental chemical risk assessment: Using existing pharmaceutical evaluation results as a more accurate paradigm
The PharmBlocker: A new paradigm in assessing the risks of environmental chemicals PharmBlocker: An environmental chemical which acts on the identical cellular process as a pharmaceutical, but in a manner that decreases the effectiveness of the drug therapy. In plain words: If a substance is causal enough to investigate as a pharmaceutical, then it is […]
The Hallmarks of Cancer in a Nutshell
The “Hallmarks of Cancer” were described for the first time in 2008 (and updated in 2011), as the subject of a landmark paper written by research scientists Douglas Hanahan and Robert A. Weinberg and published in the prestigious scientific journal Cell. The 2008 “Hallmarks of Cancer” paper defined six rules of interlocking processes that fed […]
This is why you need to be concerned about tiny doses of environmental chemicals like BPA
NOTE: this article is extracted directly from: “Key UCSF Medical School Committee Approves Stealth Syndromes Study.” (Caution: 110 footnotes ahead) INTRODUCTION The human health effects of low-level concentrations of certain Chemicals of Emerging Concern (CECs) has stirred immense controversy between traditional toxicologists and a more recent, emerging body of scientists grounded in […]
