Looking for Environmental Doctor????

Can anyone direct me for an environmental doctor who actually knows about what oil and gas can do to someone.  My medical care has severly lacked since moving.  Educating the medical community about hydrogen sulfide or H2S and all those other  chemicals and how sensitive I am is discouraging but I will always try.  I live in Northern Michigan near the bridge.  Can anyone give me names?  Help??

Thanks Amy, I found this on Wikipedia.  Makes sense on where the water and whatever chemicals is going when it doesn't come back up.

News about Northern Michigan

I received some information about Michigan from my contact. My computer had gone down so I couldn't pass it on when I said I would, here it is. 
Just the deep hydrofracking wells:
In Kalkaska, they were getting light oil with a lot of the water. In the Spring the company might do more on that well and possibly produce. Huh?
Now the disturbing fact and PA and NY read up::::::
In  Wolverine (small town),  all of a sudden "the drilling water they pumped down stopped coming back up. The workers felt like they were in a cavern.  In a well down the road water (and what else) was put down the hole and there was NO WATER being pumped up"  Activity on those wells has been halted I believe.  WHERE IS THE WATER GOING IF IT DOESN'T COME BACK UP?  They don't know why? hmmm, scary situation.
The 2 wells by Lake City are producing. None of this is verified except my source talks right with the guys on the rigs.

Gas wells in Northern Michigan

There are 2,519 active natural gas wells and 309 active oil wells in the Au Sable River watershed. ( In the area of Northern Michigan where we live. This is not a current map but you get the picture) To see the map of all those gas wells here is the link   www.ausableanglers.org/files/Riverwatch60-4colorWeb.pdf
Oil wells are denoted with red dots; natural gas wells are in green. The map is based
on data provided by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
State officials said the vast
majority of wells in the Au Sable
River basin extract oil and natural
gas from underground geologic
formations without harming the
environment.
“When you look at the total
number of wells we have in this
area and the number of spills, we
have pretty good compliance,” (NO they're not!!!!)

THIS IS PART OF THE ARTICLE. IT IS A NUMBER OF PAGES TO DOWNLOAD BUT THE PICTURES WILL SHOW YOU JUST A SMALL PART OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN NEAR US AND THE AMOUNT OF WELLS AND MORE GOING IN.

JET SOUND IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN HEARD

That loud noise that has been heard in Florida and other states was heard here in Northern Michigan today about 11:30 am EST.  My husband said it sounded like a very loud jet engine but couldn't find where it was coming from. It is a small town and a puny airport and little industry.  Just a small town on Lake Huron.  Strange.

BENZENE IN AIRCONDITIONER=READ PLEASE

couldn't find anything on this in Snopes.com
makes sense to me.........


Let it air out first…………
You may already know this...I didn't, sometimes I leave the window closed as I turn on the air....I thought the heat was just a feeling of discomfort, not danger!
Take into account!  
A car parked in the shade during the day with the windows closed may contain of 400-800 mg. of benzene. If parked outside, in the sun, at a temperature above 16 ° c, the level of benzene will rise to 2000-4000 mg. 40 times the acceptable level...Benzene is a toxin that affects the kidney and liver. What is worse, it is extremely difficult for the body to expel this toxic substance.                           
People that get into their car leaving the windows shut will inevitably breathe in excessive amounts of the toxin in quick succession.
 The driver’s manual indicates that before one turns on the air conditioning, one should open the window for a few minutes, but the manual does not specify “why",   only that it is for the vehicle’s "best performance".                       
The medical reason: 
According to a study, by turning the air on to cool the interior of the car with the windows closed, the cool air sends all the hot air from the hot plastic ducts which emit the benzene, a toxin which causes types of cancer, into the interior of the car, where we sit.  It takes time to notice the smell of the hot plastic.  This is the importance of opening the windows for a few minutes when one turns on the ignition while inside the car.  
Do not turn the air conditioner on immediately after entering the hot car. You must first open the windows and after a time switch on the air conditioner and keep windows open for a few minutes.  
In addition to causing cancer, benzene poisons affect your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure may also cause leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.
So friends, please enter in the car and leave the windows open to allow time for the indoor air to be expelled along with the deadly toxin.
"When someone shares something valuable that is beneficial to others, it is the moral obligation to share the information with others."

Chemtrails-believer or not

Whether you believe in chemtrails or not it is an interesting subject.  If you keep track of these things you can tell a "contrail" and a chemtrail which is a deliberate spraying of chemicals high up in the sky.  Can they do, yes, I do believe they can.  They showed us how when they had the gulf disaster.

Interesting reading and some people just have to agree to disagree sometimes on this subject, but look up in the sky.

Michigan's Collingwood/Utica Shale Mtg.

It has been a long 24 hours.  We went to the meeting put on by the Michigan State University Extension service.  My hubby and I and a friend put together 75 copies of information forwarded to me, thank you Lisa and Ogap.  Within 15 minutes we had given those out and there were at least 200 people there.  We don't have anyone helping me financially with the fight so we made the copies we could afford to.  Funny kinda, when I went to pick them up there was another woman there making copies of the The Nation article and gave me several copies of that.  Their story was about what had happened in Pennsylvania.  Nice to know someone else is out there.  
     There was the Department of Environmental Quality geologists there.  A lawyer was there, as well as the industry  ducking in the back.  5 years ago we would have never heard this.  They were telling the downside of signing these leases and how the companies can do things they shouldn't to get you to sign a lease and then changes things later.  People seemed hungry for information.  
I had to wear my face mask and I had 5 people ask me if I was wearing it for AFFECT.  I said I couldn't breathe the air without it..  Need to educate!!!
    Here is what was found out that someone might find of interest. Oh Texas, a rig is on its way to us here in Northern Michigan.  They are not a rig we would use up here.  Saying that.....listen to what the State is saying.....there are no rules on deep wells in this State.  The companies waiting don't know what to do.  That would mean to me that they will have free reign like all the others. 
   There are 8 geologists to inspect at least 1000 wells now (I say it is 5000 wells).  They are inspected 3 times a year (not true) . And this one could make your jaw drop-BLOW OUT PROTECTORS ARE TESTED 3 TIMES A DAY.  I have not seen a company that would do that.   The DNRE don't know how much treatment the product will need, there is the Fear Of The Unknown-right out of the DNRE's mouth (used to be DEQ).
   And this is good-the company has patented the fracking chemicals used so they don't have to tell us.  From the DNRE's mouths also.  So they are going to go ahead with this and don't have a clue.  Sounds right for Michigan.  
   The main players are ENCANA using leasing companies Mason Dixon, Energy West.  CHESAPEAKE using Western Land and OIL Niagaran services to get leases.  Continental isn't playing here anymore.
  Not only is the test well in Missaukee County but one in the Upper Peninsula at 1000 feet in Pickford.  
  I can't wait for hubby to get home from the meeting with Encana,  hey I had a way of getting into the private meeting.   I was so sick from last night. I had my mask on but standing outside with cars going by and standing on new asphalt put me into a crisis.  
That's what I have found out this week, looking forward to comments.  
(I seem to have something wrong with the blog that I'm working on trying to get rid of that cutsy thing.)

Health effects of the Gas/Oil Industry

I will be putting together a packet to give out to educate people. On what? The health effects of the oil and gas industry can have on your health. I know there is at least one company I've heard going door to door asking for people to sign their mineral rights to them to drill. People must not have learned too much from the Gulf disaster as that can happen here, in our backyard, literally. They have inundated the middle of Northern Michigan and with the discovery of the Collinwood and Utica Shale, there will be another oil and gas boom. More sick people. Stayed tuned while I get my stuff out there AND SHARE IT PLEASE!!!

Health of the Oil and Gas

I received an email from one of my cohorts when we were fighting so hard for years and he sums it up
"People are finally beginning to understand the health hazards connected to the oil and gas industry. We knew this before a lot of others. I was surprised to see the link containing the ABC clip dealing with this issue. It is telling people what we knew all along. I really think that we and others like us around the country started a rolling snowball so to speak that will hopefully turn into an avalanche of people coming forward with information so that this will help educate people AND doctors to the seriousness of this issue. Those who called us crazy will maybe stop and think, "maybe they were right and maybe we should have listened to what they were saying all along." John K.

We need to educate, educate, educate. I have always said I am the health portion of this group. Well, I am up and slowly walking, lol, and working on it. God shows us our way in mysterious ways.
