I guess copy and past above website and see where the gas deposits are in Michigan and all over the country!!
Very Interesting!

Northern Michigan
The fight of small group of people in Northern Michigan against the oil and gas industry. All we want is it done safely and know the health hazards! Ah, the dreaded pink tape. Just two women who health has been so drastically changed since 2003 fighting the big boys and educating those who want to be educated and even those who don't.

Health of the Oil and Gas
I just found out yesterday that two people I knew in Lewiston have died. More death. All around my age, 52 or younger. One even moved away from Lewiston but once you live by a "bad" well, you fate has been sealed eventually and that is so sad.
We have to keep harping about the health issues or any education about what this industry has done to our (and will do ) countryside and cities. My "tourist town" is no longer. It is an Oil and Gas town. I can't go near there for the chemicals but my sources still trapped there see it. People want that money or as my friends, they don't have the money to get out. Who can sell their homes in my area of Michigan, not many. I was lucky, I got out before things seemed to not be selling. I lost money but I would be dead if I hadn't left. That's a fact.
Educate, Educate, look at your surroundings and just keep learning from what others have gong through.
We have a death list, when we had a documentary made and then the documentarist disappeared but strangly is My Space friend, and it is so large. THOSE IN OTHER STATES THINKING ABOUT LETTING GAS AND OIL IN. THEY LIE AND WHAT WILL "ALL THAT MONEY" SHOW YOU WHEN YOU ARE TOO SICK TO ENJOY IT. Unfortunately, I lost everything, my family turned their back on me and live a life of poverty. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
I've been told I am tough. When you are fighting to live life as long as possible then I guess I am tough. Some days I just want to throw in the towel as people around Northern Michigan aren't ones to want to hear what is going on. That is getting better but it is too late for some. I try and stay positive so on a positive note, go up to a stranger and see how they feel.
I feel strongly that by just telling out stories, people have to see something isn't right. Being high on the health affects as I am so affected, I had another chemically related reaction. I have been so chemically injured that breathing something as mild as lavender essential oil can cause my muscles to freeze up and unable to move. I had gotten bursitis in my knees because my new husband is remodeling the house to make it safe for me to live in it. I had my mask on as he was putting a door into an addition. I reacted to the blown in paper insulation that was between the buildings. I immediately couldn't walk.
The pain was so severe that after 3 days I had to do something. My arthritis dr. had to inject steriods into my knees that had never been done before. I knew I would react to the Lidocaine because I had before. But the pain was so severe I wanted relief.(We try alot of natural remedies first) I wasn't out the door when all my muscles froze up and my husband drove us very quickly as we lived an hour away. I had what I needed at home to correct the reaction but it was a long hour home.
THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS THAT THIS INDUSTRY HAS DONE THIS TO MY IMMUNE SYSTEM AND SO MANY OTHERS, MOST DON'T EVEN REALIZE WHY THEY ARE "SICK".
I had gone to a Naturapath Dr. recently and left the results on the blog but forgot to mention how she came up with all the metal count in my body. Will have to email that because I can't reach it at the moment.
Long story, sorry, but some days are even longer.....Thanks to this group and those making documentaries and talking to people. Keep up the good work for those in this nightmare of a "fight".

Several years ago, OGAP recognized the need to produce a comprehensive guidebook for landowners who are being confronted with oil and gas development.
In 2004, the first edition of Oil and Gas at Your Door? was published. Within 7 months we had distributed more than 1500 copies to landowners, citizens' groups, government employees, ranchers, hunters, anglers, industry representatives, academics, libraries, and media representatives from across the U.S., Canada, and several other countries.
In 2005, we updated the guide, and published our the second edition of Oil and Gas at Your Door?
Download the entire landowner guide, or individual chapters

To receive a copy by mail, call OGAP: 970-259-3353.
Landowner guides are free to OGAP members, and $10 for non-members.
If you already own a copy of the original 2004 landowner guide, the Updates to the 2004 Edition are available in an easily downloadable format. We would prefer that you download these updates rather than order a 2005 guide, as we would like to reserve the new guides for those landowners who do not yet own their own copy.

Be afraid, very afraid
I thought I would share what information received after being by evaluated by a specific machine that measures certain things going on in my body.
This is what I wanted to share in the gathering line this week. I would advise this for anyone to find out just what is in your body. I was quite surprised.
Here we go:
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY METALS
Should be 0 but if some shows then the guide is below 20 is mild and over 100 real concern.
128 Uranium
127 Aluminum-dry & brittle nails, bone &skin, dementia
223 Arsenic-impacts every organ and tissue to some degree
74 Cadmium-Boils, skin problems, sinus issues, abd. Pain,
heart palpitations, impaired digestion
132 Lead-infertility, memory&learning problems, neurological
problems,bone muscle and joint pain, irritability,
depression and fear, progressive muscular&heart problems
141 Mercury-thin hair, skin problems, mistrustful&fearful,
mood swings, visions problems, sinus & lung problems,
impaired immune function, poor gum and tooth health,
heavy periods and heavy sweating.
247 Petroleum derivatives
210 Bismuth
POTENTIAL MINERAL CONCERNS
Normal 80-100, below 50 chronic, over 100 acute
150 Calcium (weak bones, nerves, adrenals, muscles)
167 Potassium (nerve, energy, heart, skin)
42 Sodium (aging, nerves, fatigue, digestion)
97 Chlorine (stomach acid, nerves, toxin release)
153 Magnesium (adrenals, muscles, oxygen, energy)
162 Iron (anemia, fatigue, oxygen, energy)
116 Sulphur (detox, energy, emotions, fertility)
108 Manganese (nerve & muscle disease, love)
116 Chromium (sugar regulation, muscle)
138 Zinc (immunity,oxygen, metabolic disease)
145 Selenium (detox, nerves, immune, skin)
115 Iodine (thyroid function, energy, metabolism)
110 Phosphorous (bone, brain, cells)
24 Boron (nerve regulation, dementia, depression
116 Molybedum (thyroid function, lactation, energy)
107 Silicon (bone, skin, nerves & brain function)
37 Copper (nerves, energy)
47 Phenylalanine
47 Cysteine
51 Tyrosine
45 Proline
Normal 80-100, below 50 chronic, over 100 acute
-2 Volt, reflects adrenal function and will power (I literally have no energy, gosh that answers my tiredness)
85 Amper, reflects brain function & related enzymatic
reactions
49 Resistance, reflects ease of flow of energy throughout
the body and immune system
71 Hydration, reflects ease of water flow in and out of
cells, thirst (I'm dehydrated)
78 Oxidation, reflects ease of slow of oxygen into cells
65-70 norm-below acid, above alkaline or potentially false
alkaline due to extreme toxicity
10 Proton pressure 66 is ideal
64 Electron pressure 67 is ideal
The great the point spread, the greater the challenge to heal
215 Major Resonant Frequency (Below 1000=risk degeneration,
above 10,000=nervous energy)
-1 Cellular vitality index (6+normal, below 3 chronic)
206 Reactance speed index, reflects how well the body is
recognizing imbalances & making corrections
(Below 15 ideal, below 40 norm, above 100 diseased/
degeneration states)
I could also go into the potential Vitamin concerns but email me and I will provide you with those.
The machine that was monitoring my brain activity had numerous areas of seizure activity and I wasn't feeling them. (which goes along with my 24 hr. EEG done in 2004) My foot jerked once, my little finger flinched and at times just staring. I would also stop breathing as the Dr. Was talking. When I am faced with chemicals I usually pass out or just stare blankly or my legs give out. Usually not knowing what is going on to cause this to happen.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
TIA ACTIVITY (IN THE BRAIN) THEN POTENTIAL FOR A STROKE
MALABSORPTION
Fungus in lungs and sinuses (no surprise there)
6th Cranial Nerve Stress
Organs showing potential imbalance:
Liver, Heart, Adrenals, Small intestine, Lung, immune, hormonal
thyroid and stomach.
I've lived away from Lewiston, Michigan for 4 years now. There is so much out there in the environment that those weak get hit with a lot of chemicals. More than we will ever know of. My point in sharing this with you all is to show you that yes, I have been chemically injured, both the medical and homeopathic community concur with that. So many others out there are sick and don't know why. It isn't in your head, chemicals are working away at your body. These figures don't lie. They would go along with sone of my hair testing and soil testing.(Thanks to others who donated to get the soil testing done!)
It is frightening to see what is still in my body and how ill I really am. I didn't realize how close to death I was until I was slapped across the face. Now is the fight of all fights. I intend on living a long time but if they try to draw those metals out of my body too fast that could kill me. We elected to try the nutritional way first.
SO BEFORE YOU LET OIL AND GAS INTO YOUR COMMUNITY LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS SAFE TOO. WERE THEY WRONG! THINK ABOUT IT, PLEASE.

I would love to get others tested by starting a fund to be able to do that. These tests give you a baseline. The cost is $250 and would gladly take donations so others can get this test. It is up to you. MICHIGAN, WE GOT A PROBLEM GOING ON!!!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROTTEN EGGS!

If only I had......over and over again
I had the pleasure of speaking to Congressman Stupak at the conference call town hall meeting.
I am working on a letter to send to him regarding this whole mess we have here. He has helped
us once before, time to step up to the plate again Bart. He listens to you and seems down to earth
but then he leaves the room and he is a politician. Can't trust em as far as you can throw them but
we need them and they need us. We just have to remind them that they need us periodically. That isn't
even why I am blogging today. Just popped up in the front of the brain and needed to come out first.
There are days like that.
I am blogging about the stupidity of chemically injured people. One in particular, me. Some that may come as no surprise as I am my worst enemy. Joe and I was watching BoatNerds.com and seeing what Great Lakes Boat was out there. There was one we were keeping our eye on because it was right out our back door, so to speak, and hadn't moved for days. In fact ice had formed around it. Finally yesterday it was moving. Yeah! Let's all go down to the public beach and watch the Coast Guard break the ice so they can come on in to Cheboygan! Us and quite a few other people had the same idea. They must have marine radio's too.
I saw it in the harbor and told Joe we had to go home and get the camera this was just so cool. Now, I knew better but I have the fascination with the Great Lakes Boats now. We got the camera and he drove me up to the gate across from the Boat. The Boat was carrying gasoline for the big tanks kept in Cheboygan that vent
to the air. My husband reminded me of that and kept me upwind from the tanker and tanks. I got some great pictures but my sinsuses were filling a bit swollen and I was getting hoarse. Joe took me over the bridge so I could get a picture of it on the other side of the boat. (which was downwind from the tanker and tanks) I started having fuzzy vision and acting drunk Joe said. That is what happens when exposed and people just think there are alot of drunks around. Joe experienced a headache and some fogginess. He was surprised that he had felt something. He realized he shouldn't have brought me down there at all but I was insistent and we forget the dangers.
For hours I could hardly move and my body hurt. If only I had ignored my inner desire to see that Boat, but we want to be normal and I have to realize that I'm not.
I hate this industry for its shoddy practices. The thousands of people who have things wrong with them because of this industries shoddy practices and selfishness makes me want to puke. Some days I do.
Wanted to share my experience......we have to be aware of our surroundings and not ignore them.
