DDT to Return as Weapon Against Malaria, Experts Say
National Geographic - Aug 1, 2006
Agency for International Development (USAID) endorsed the use of DDT for indoor antimalarial treatment in the developing world. The World Health Organization (WHO) is expected to do the same in short order, according to a comprehensive report published in the current issue of the journal Nature Medicine. The chemical’s return is sure to raise some eyebrows, but people on the front lines of the malaria fight generally support the decision. “It’s about 20 years too late, but it’s a good thing,” said Don Roberts, a professor of tropical public heath at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. “I think it’s going to make a huge difference in the health of people at risk of malaria. From Miracle Pesticide to Notorious PolluterDDT, or dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane, was once considered a miracle pesticide… “I think it’s going to make a huge difference in the health of people at risk of malaria.

Swiss chemist Paul Müller won the 1948 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering its bug-killing properties. Some 675,000 tons (612,000 metric tons) of DDT were used in the U. between 1942 and 1972 (related photo:. nationalgeographic.

Pierre Pallardy: France’s gut doctor comes to the UK

It is a combination, he claims, that can rapidly cure all sorts of maladies not normally associated with the guts, ranging from general lethargy and insomnia to stomach upsets and aching joints. The central idea makes sense. According to Pallardy, modern medicine has forgotten the guts, except as an area to dose up with antacids or powerful anti-inflammatories - or, when all else fails, to cut out. “This is crazy,” he says. “It is in the guts we gather our nutrients. It is here that we make most of our immune chemicals. It is so complex it has been called the second brain… It ferments very fast, so drink it very slowly. “But what makes him more than a natural healer blessed with an unshakeable self-confidence is that the various elements of his system all chime with a system of natural checks and balances in your body that is usually ignored when you go to your GP for chronic conditions. It centres on acid-alkaline balance - something all medical students learn about and then promptly forget because it doesn’t conform to the drug-based nature of most western medicine. According to Pallardy, our bodies function best if they are slightly alkaline, but modern life - not least a junk food diet - tends to shift us in the acidic direction, and it is this that is the basis of many those chronic conditions such as tiredness, poor sleep, backache and allergies. It’s this imbalance, Pallardy says, that he could see when he peered at my stomach. One of the effects is to make parts of the gut tender, which is why his massage has such a fearsome reputation. “Just as the tensed muscle is painful when you massage it, so is the gut painful when it is too acidic,” he explains.
