1-19-11 – Pieces of a round roast purchased at a local grocery store has been dried and ready to be subjected to the 5500+F heat of the Vreeland Spectroscope’s carbon arc electrodes.

4 pieces of dried beef Round Roast resting upon a glass watch glass.

One of the above pieces of meat resting upon a graphite pad that rests upon a ceramic crucible is ready for the Vreeland burn.

The completed spectroscopic burn.

10x – A magnified view of the preceding image. The meat has turned to carbon.
Burn results:
Tl = Fair, In = n/d, Ga = n/d, Ge = n/d, Bi = n/d, Sn = n/d, Pb = n/d, Ag = very faint,
Au = did not look for, Cu = faint, Cd = n/d, Zn = faint, Mn = n/d, Mg = fair, Mo = n/d,
Cr = n/d, Fe = fair, Co = Faint, Ni = n/d, V = faint, Cb = faint, TA = n/d, W = faint,
U = faint, Th = n/d, Pt = n/d, Ir = n/d, Os = fair, Pd = n/d, Rh = fair, Ru = good,
Re = n/d, Na = fair, K = fair.
The primary purpose of this meat test of unknown origin (local, out of state foreign) was to see if thallium was present. The point is – grazing cattle eat the plants that mine the soil, so it’s no wonder that this meat contains a mirror image of what the soil contained. Because man is on-top of the food chain it takes no great leap of mental dexterity to recognize that eventually we humans will also become similar to what’s contained within the surrounding soils.
On 1-31-11 a spectroscopic analysis for thallium was conducted of my head hair.

The top of image is my hair cut by an electric clipper.
The bottom portion of image is the completed Vreeland burn of my hair.
I only checked for thallium – which proved to be in the category of FAIR.
I had hoped that after drinking thallium free water that my body was becoming less contaminated. Although the amount of thallium in my hair has significantly decreased this test indicates that I have stopped improving, which is likely due to the barrage of contaminated food I consume daily that is contaminated like the beef above.
Even though I have changed a lot of my daily eating habits I’m still smoking, which is not helping to reduce the amount of thallium my body is being subjected to. Therefore, armed with the knowledge I’ve been accumulating—if I don’t continue changing my behavior patterns how can I expect others, such as in the field of politics and mining to recognize the need for change?
