Urgent call from the Gulf: More Barefoot Doctors needed

http://www.examiner.com/human-rights-in-national/urgent-call-for-more-gulf-barefoot-doctors


"My brother's recent hospice... is telling me about patients dying of internal bleeding and pneumonia after getting rashes and respiratory illness. And also getting sick and bleeding internally after eating Gulf seafood." - Correspondence to Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors, September 17, 2010
----


More and more serious health complaints from people along the Gulf Coast, especially from Louisiana and Florida Panhandle, are being made to Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors (GCBD) that have called for stronger community members with compassion throughout the region to become barefoot doctors to help serve growing needs of the sick and the poor. Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors is a grassroots initiative of volunteers and no paid staff.

The petrochemical-military-industrial-complex (PMIC) teams continue spraying Corexit in the Gulf, along the coastal land, and on inland waters, despite BP, Coast Guard, and Obama administration claims that the chemical attacks ceased in July.

"They lie," say Bill Nungasser, Plaquemines Parish president and Delia LaBarre, head of Gulf Coast Baerefoot Doctors, both Louisianans referring to the PMIC leaders and an its minions just following orders to participate in the Gulf crime against humanity that continues to be played out with no effective resistance.

"They've also probably lied about amount of Corexit released into the environment," stated LaBarre to the Examiner.

"This is a health emergency that the government is ignoring because they're either trying to kill people and the entire ecosystem or don't mind if they do."

2. Please share this with your friends and contacts. There is a virtual blackout of news .
People are STILL cheerfully traveling to the beaches, unaware of the spraying. Limited information is getting out.
