The Invisible Killer

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted

thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by

accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do

not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue

damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and

urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body

electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal

means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.

is found in high concentrations in beer.

contributes to the "greenhouse effect."

may cause severe burns.

contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.

accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.

may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of

automobile brakes.

has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream,

lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the

contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions

of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently

California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant.

in nuclear power plants.

in the production of styrofoam.

as a fire retardant.

in many forms of cruel animal research.

in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce

remains contaminated by this chemical.

as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be

done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on

wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The Horror Must Be Stopped!

The government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or

use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health

of the nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are

conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar

devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of

military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly

sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities

for later use.

It's Not Too Late!

Act NOW to prevent further problems.

The uses of dihydrogen monoxide are varied and growing:

1. As an industrial solvent and coolant;

2. In nuclear power plants;

3. In the production of styrofoam;

4. As a fire retardant;

5. In many forms of cruel animal research;

6. In the distribution of pesticides;

7. As an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products;

8. Large quantities of the substance are dumped into rivers and streams by factories;

The list of risks associated with dihydrogen monoxide include:

1. The substance is a major component of acid rain;

2. Contributes to soil erosion;

3. Accelerates corrosion and breakdown of metals and electrical equipment;

4. Excessive ingestion may cause various unpleasant, though generally not life-threatening, effects;

5. Prolonged contact with its solid form results in severe tissue damage;

6. May cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes;

7. Inhalation, even in small quantities, may cause death;

8. Its gaseous form may cause severe burns;

9. It has been found in the tumors of terminal cancer patients;

10. Withdrawal by those addicted to the substance causes certain death within 168 hours;

Nevertheless, the government and corporations continue using it widely, heedless of its grave dangers.
