Jim West

The author, Jim West, independently found massive evidence to support his hypothesis that persistent pesticides caused The Great Polio Epidemic, post-WWII, and organochlorines in milk caused the great 1916 epidemic in New York City. His book contains original graphs and statistical analysis, regarding epidemiology, virology, and dose/response. West has been acclaimed globally by many independent authors and researchers. His work has been used by medical critics to review the properties and politics of disease paradigms. West has virtually no detractors who are able to debate him in any forum that could be made public. Mainstream responses to his simple and civil arguments include closing forums and threads. West has served as Chairman of the Science Committee for the NoSpray Coalition, which successfully litigated against New York City over the matter of aerial pesticide spray programs. He is a member of GreenSpeakers, a Toastmaster group. His work was the foundation of an article in The Ecologist, the world's leading ecology journal, acclaimed as a "Hot Topic" for six months. He has devoted much of his life to the study of medical science and politics, a study initiated at an very early age as a matter of survival. He has a scientific background, with a university level education in engineering, physics, chemistry, advanced math and various psychologies, though without completing his degree. He is self-taught in microbiology, biochemistry, toxicology, electronics and computer assembly language. He has some commercial achievement in designing chemical products. Jim is a dedicated researcher, journalist and advocate for the environment and responsible industry. He sees significant research advantages beyond those in official professional capacities. With less political complications, he is able to critique the professional medical mainstream in areas of scientific truth where a professional can be limited by a web of beliefs, rules and laws influenced by vested interests.
