I’m in a bit of a daze right now. I just randomly discovered that my first duty station I was at for eight years, was/still is a SUPERFUND SITE. I lived and worked, completely exposed to dangerous levels of several different chemicals as well as ionizing radiation levels from some kind of secret nuclear waste disposal being done there.
This was just the tip of the waste pile I just ran into. It really explains a lot. I have known so many seriously ill people that lived and worked there with me.
Steel barrels that hold concentrations of hazardous substances also irradiate (highly concentrated chemical radiation) the outside of the steel barrel containers, people are especially susceptible to this irradiation because it penetrates the skin all the way into the internal organs all the way down to the bone marrow without proper hazmat protection, one of my best friends who use to load these barrels ( without any protection) onto aircraft died from this exposure from liver cancer eventually. That is what he told me before he died.
Hazardous substance (Chlordane) fact sheet: https://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/0361.pdf
The Chlordane wasnt being stored/buried there. It was being used as a pesticide and a herbicide. As a pesticide it was soaked into the ground where the personnel’s living quarter slab foundations would sit. The foundations had holes drilled into them so that more can be soaked into the ground below the building “for termite control”. Every building I new of was cinder block construction. Impervious to termites. So that reaks of intentional exposure, or the purest form of stupidity.

I’ve learned you are a font of knowledge. I glean education with nearly every post you do. Please elaborate a bit more on this topic. I was speaking of ionizing, or nuclear radiation. I.E., test aircraft that were flown through mushroom clouds were washed down on this base in the 50’s and 60’s before the test ban treaty stopped open air testing of nuclear weapons. I’m assuming what you mean by “highly concentrated chemical radiation” is just plain old toxic waste leaking from them?
So sad to hear you lived with all that. Keep on top of your health. It can take 20-30 yrs. for things to show up for some people. My state has the countries highest rate of MS, most of those people, not all, but most worked at Rocky Flats, the nuclear weapons plant.
I hate using a like to something like this, but instead I’ll think ofnit as an acknowledgement, and thoughts and prayers?
I do have a kidney tumor. As well as chronic back pain. I have no idea how long Ive had the tumor. It was found when imaging for kidney stones. I seear the damn thing is causing some of the chronic pain, VA docs say it cant be that 
. I really have no faith in their medical opinions and consensus anymore.
Don’t get me started on those fucking quacks and butchers. The things my father had to go through when all he could afford was VA care. Bedsores, life threatening electrolyte imbalances, drug overdoses, generally shitty doctors. I’ve thought about maybe joining the army or air force if I can lose the weight before I’m too old, and if I do, I’m avoiding VA medical care like the plague when I get out. FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
When it’s removed (I assume that’s the plan) they will be able to tell how long you’ve had it by it’s size. Very predictable growth rate. I had one for 13 years without knowing. I only found out because I was getting quarterly blood work it showed kidney function problems all of the sudden. Ultrasound found a “mass”.
Mine has a confounder… me. Mine was growing about 1 mm a year for the 5 years following its discovery. After becoming a Ketonian it has shrank 2 mm (with the caveat that it hadnt been checked for two years, so that shrinkage could have been anytime honestly, but I seriously diubt it, but I will continue watching it in this new light of now being Keto, with thte knowledge I lived in a superfund site for 8 1/2 years 
.
Maybe yours will keep shrinking. I knew nothing about keto when I had mine in 2007. I seem to remember something about a cancer fighting diet, may have been keto. But the doctors convinced me that I needed surgery before it burst and spread to my pelvis and spine and the surrounding areas. Then it would be too late. I have wondered if I could have fixed it with diet if I had known earlier. Same goes for the leg I lost 8 years before that from atherosclerosis. 
Holy crap! I’m so sorry. That’s horrible!
I know zip about the topic. But I’ve done tons of reading about the effects of ascorbic body-wide (liposomal best form) and silymarin esp. for liver but also body-wide (liposomal best form) and if there were any supplements I’d be seriously downing regularly to help my body after something like that, those’d be the ones. Might be worth researching (pubmed has plenty of info, as well as the net in general).
