FORMALIN AS FISH PRESERVATIVE AND KIDNEY FAILURES - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

A couple of days ago, I took my wife to a dentist , somewhere in Karnataka state.  

As soon as I entered the posh clinic, my eyes smarted, due to airborne formaldehyde.  And then I started sniffing, and identified a few chemicals by odour like Cresol, Formalin,  Hydrogen Peroxide etc.

You may NOT believe this, we chemical men use at least two of our senses to locate unwanted chemicals.  I do NOT allow my officers to wear eye goggles while loading chemicals in still air conditions. For eyes are the early detectors of coming shadows.  The moment eyes start watering, it is time to terminate loading, till the wind picks up.

So when the dentist's job was over I spoke to him.  I said " After I leave your clinic , I would like you to punch into Google search FORMALDEHYDE VADAKAIL , and check out what I have to say about the grave dangers of Formalin. 

This post is an extract of actual emails, where in I had the Port Health Ministry of Brazil on the mat for using formaldehyde for fumigating my ship, with crew on board.  The correspondence was copied to WHO, via my London Insurers .

Then I asked the dentist to read about free radical damage to human cells ,caused by Hydrogen Peroxide.

Punch into google search -

BLUE AVATAR-VADAKAYIL

and

TULSI-VADAKAYIL.

I just gave him a brief explanation, as I was had to leave immediately.

Dentists in USA have damaged the cerebral capacity of millions by putting Flouride in muncipal tap water. Really the decision makers in USA should have been jailed. You can read my take on this by punching into Google search PINEAL GLAND , THIRD EYE- VADAKAYIL.

Then later in the after myself and my wife went to the local market , again somewhere in Karnataka , to buy fish. 

In Calicut the fish is delivered at my door step . The fish is taken in by the fisherman at the beach and brought to my home, while it is almost alive. It is such a pleasure to eat fresh sea food. You should see how high a live prawn/ shrimp jumps.

So in the market what I noticed was that there were NO flies sitting on the fish, while they sat elsewhere.  The eyes of the fish were clear and the fish looked squeaky clean, without the usual fishy odour.

So I told my wife " We will just buy a little as I suspect the the fish is doused in Formalin, to increase its shelf life in summer. And in any case there is ban on trawling and motorised fishing on the whole of the SW coast of India, in that particular month..

So later at night while I ate the fish , I could smell and taste the Formalin. The after taste of Formalin remained in my mouth for about two hours. And I could feel the insides of my mouth were slightly inflamed. 

So i told my wife " If it is actually Formalin, my throat too will be inflamed tomorrow. And sure enough, next morning I could feel it--as if I had ulcers .

Formaldehyde undergoes rapid chemical changes immediately after absorption. Therefore, its effect show up fast at the upper respiratory tract. Formaldehyde affects the lymphatic systems. Hence exposure to formaldehyde myeloid leukemia.

I am a Chemical expert and I know what I say, unlike all our immature journalists running around, playing to the gallery,  talking big.   On ships we use Mass spectrometers and Gas ion chromatographs to do Wall wash tests and first foot tests.

So what are the dangers of dousing fish in Formalin.

Formalin is used to preserve cadavers ( dead human bodies ) in the morgue. It is highly toxic as well as carcinogenic ( cancer causing ).

  

Formalin is the aqueous solution of Formaldehyde.  A 100% formalin solution consists of a saturated solution of formaldehyde (this is about 40% by volume or 37% by mass) in water, with a small amount of stabiliser, usually methanol to limit oxidation and polymerisation.

Formalin causes grave  disorders in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, lung, heart, and the central nervous system. Lot of people have died of cancer.

In Kerala if you visit the nephrology departments, in big hospitals , there are NO vacant beds. Too may people suffer from kidney failures.  Doctors dont know and they dont care.  After all  mucho moolah can be raked in.

Ingestion of formalin leads to peritonitis because of gastric wall inflammation..  Formalin is irritating, corrosive and toxic and absorbed from all surfaces of the body.  No specific antidote is available so far to treat formalin poisoning.

 A small glass of Formalin diluted in a bucketful of water, can preserve  250 kilos of fish for 4 days without decomposing. Ice first of all takes to much space and is cost intensive.

Once Formalin is doused in fish, it cannot be removed by soaking in water, cooking and frying. Ingested Formalin even in small quantities is harmful, because once it contacts the body cells, it kills the cells.

Formaldehyde is in gas form. In the liquid form it is Formalin. The eyes are most sensitive to formaldehyde exposure: The lowest level at which many people can begin to smell formaldehyde is about 0.05 ppm and the highest level is 1 ppm. Eye eye irritation starts at about 0.5 ppm.

In September 2007, the European Union banned the use of carcinogenic or cancer causing Formaldehyde  as a biocide (including embalming) under the Biocidal Products Directive (98/8/EC).[24][25].   

On 10 June 2011, the US National Toxicology Program formally described formaldehyde to be a known carcinogen.

Evil people who do this must be jailed for at least 10 years, in addition to heavy fines. Their names must be exposed -- name and shame, as adulterators in local newspapers. 

Formalin must NOT be available off the counter. The government must ensure this.  Anybody who buys Formalin, must leave his address, show his ID and write down for what purpose.

Formalin detection kits ( digital sensors ) are available for import in USA and Europe. Of course an untrained person cannot use it.  

India requires to train atleast 50000 people, if we care about the people. 

Doctors don't care.    Dialysis costs for renal failure and cancer treatments can sustain huge salaries. 

By the way dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function. It does not correct any endocrine functions of the kidney.  Dialysis is primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. 

Expensive and recurring dialysis treatments merely replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal). 

There are evil foreign funded NGOs , who are involved in kidney sales.  All are happy except the poor patient.

I WILL POST ON OZONE , FOR PROLONGING THE LIFE OF FISH , IN A SAFE AND HEALTHY MANNER -SOON.

Grace and peace!
