	Chemicals: Dangers & Deceptions
	Tuesday June 20, 2006

Investigative reporter Randall Fitzgerald believes that the interaction of synthetic chemicals is wreaking havoc on human health and weakening people's immune systems. "We're all guinea pigs" in a vast chemical experiment, he said, arguing that western medicine is based on a synthetic paradigm in which ailments are treated by non-natural drugs that cause side effects, which in turn need to be remedied by more medications. He pointed out deceptions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and shared his findings:Animal studies are not reliable predictors of human health issues.

He recounted a phenomenal streak of luck he had gambling on slot machines at an Indian casino near his home. Fitzgerald said he tapped into his own radar system for sensing which machines were "pregnant" and ready to pay off. In one instance, he described seeing a hypnagogic image of three 7's on a slot machine, which propelled him to drive to the casino, where he subsequently won big on the specific machine he saw. The evidence suggests that the human body can act as a receiver of precognitive information, he explained. Fitzgerald sees gambling as metaphor for life, and considers luck to be an energetic force.
