Toxic water in Mexico

All about the Toxic water in Mexico and how you need to be very very careful when trusting expats in 3rd world countries.

So when I talk about the Toxic water in Mexico, I’m not talking about how they always tell you not to drink the tap water.

I’m talking about water in the lakes and oceans that are so toxic, that it directly affects the people living near them.

Even tap water full of pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate, fecal matter, arsenic, etc.

This makes people very sick with cancer, kidney issues, and babies are being born with deformities.

Mexico doesn’t purify the tap water. Most people don’t understand this.

The border towns with the US are the worst, because the evil corps had set up manufacturing plants on the border so they could get cheap labor. Then they dumped their chemicals into the water poisoning all of not just the Mexicans, but also the immigrants who travel from across the world just to get work there.

NEVER live in a border town.

But even if it’s a bit of a ways in, if there’s American manufacturing plants set up there, you will make yourself sick just like if you live in an American city with a manufacturing plant.

There was ONLY fakebook group for Mexico that had some expats that were slightly awake and talked about the toxic water and air pollution in Mexico.

They banned me for no reason at all and I found out afterward the scammer who scammed me when I first got to Mexico who came from his group went and lied and said I never paid him for picking me up at the bus station. Why they would ban me without even asking me for my side of story speaks volumes about their lack of character and dysfunction.

Now on February 20, 2024 the owner of the group saw my article here, threatened me, called me insane, called me a liar, accused me of doing something to some other person who I don’t know, I probably never even talked to (no recollection) and it’s clear to me that he’s unhinged.

His public attacks lying about me all started with me mentioning his name in here so I’m removing it.

Note: I am not doing this because I did anything wrong (I DON’T LIE even though he accused me of lying) nor because I’m weak. I’m doing this because we are in the middle of a war that I’M FIGHTING and this person wants to behave just like the evils do and harm others for no reason at all.

He is trying to stop me from fighting in THIS WAR because his insecurities trump FIGHTING IN THIS WAR. I’ll bet you he does NOTHING to fight in this war.

This is what our world is like, but it was like this BEFORE the war started in March 2020. A lot of people are mentally dysfunctional and lash out and want to control everyone else. It’s not just him, I was just told of a a guy who is similar to him who attacked another woman online because she rejected him and then tried to get her personal videos taken down lying and saying she lied so he is taking ownership of them. WTF???

THIS is one of the reasons why we are in this mess, because people really are not just insecure, but full of RAGE at themselves and everyone around them and they are what I would classify as severely disturbed. They make up stories in their head and can’t even get the facts straight.

This person may harm me, steal what little money I have, send criminals to harm me, pay someone off to kidnap me all for me saying he blocked me from his group. He already threatened this.

He claims he didn’t know I was banned because it was one of this mods who did it, but when I asked him if he did block me (this was 2+ years ago), he said yes and then attacked me then too telling me to go live in the toxic cesspool of Mexico. WOW

So he lies non stop. Just because you don’t remember what you did, doesn’t mean you didn’t say or do it.

If I am attacked, disappear or die within the next year, you will find his name in my files and I will give them to friends and my Think Tank partners to release this story so you can investigate and let others know.

Expats here and in a lot of countries are CRAZY and I’m not using that word loosely.

I’ve seen how people have been attacked online for no reason at all going back years ago.

This world doesn’t allow personal opinions, stories and certainly NOT FREE SPEACH. Most people know this, but think it only started happening recently and it didn’t.

Like I said, they side with the evils’ agenda to SILENCE EVERYONE plus harm others who speak the Truth. That’s their common trait.

So in order for me to be able to continue to do my work to help save HUMANITY (all FOR FREE without much help from others) and so I’m not being sidelined by this person, I’m being forced to edit this article.

About the scammer from the group owner who just threatened me, the scammer lured me over to where he lives saying that he was going to search for rentals and then I got here and he tries to get me to pay for dinners for him and his son. I actually felt threatened because all of my things were in his truck and I had no place to go. He had convinced me (my fault for trusting him) to stay with him instead of taking an Airbnb.

We were in the restaurant and he was trying to guilt me into paying for his son’s dinner when I had agreed to only pay for his dinner, but that’s when I thought he was going to find me rentals and not 10 minutes after I arrived. I WAS SHOCKED.

Who expects someone to pay for someone’s dinner just based on a few emails back and forth?

I paid over the top prices for him to pick me up (I could have taken an Uber that was 85% less), he also starts trying to guilt me about everything he did for me when I never asked him to do any of that stuff and I thought he was just being a nice guy.

He then lied and said that because he was searching for rentals for me the week before that he didn’t do work and therefor lost money. This is before I was even in Mexico. I am NOT responsible for what someone decides to do. I never hired this guy, I (again, yes I can be too trusting) thought he was being a nice guy.

Did I have to pay him again to drive me back to the closest city when I was now 100% sure this guy was nuts? YES,

He scammed me out of 2 expensive meals and 1,000 pesos and do you think he showed me ONE RENTAL? OF COURSE NOT LOL

He played a little game taking me to a house where no one answered and said I thought he would be here to show me around.

He ordered one of the most expensive items on the menu and alcohol both times. The second time I felt like if I didn’t give him more food and make nice with him, I may never make it to safety even though I had to pay him $500 to drive me to the city.

I was stuck in his house which was freezing cold, he lied and said there would be food for me the night before and there wasn’t, and supposedly there was no address for me to have an Uber pick me up, so I had to rely upon him.

End of the drama with the scammer and facebook group owner.

Onto the toxic water in Mexico

My advice is to test the water in the area you want to live in. I said that in his group about a month ago and he shrugged it off that the testing couldn’t be trusted.

I just found out from a Mexican American that chemists set up these testing places, so even if you have to go to two places just to be sure, that’s what I recommend.

I’m still going to give you this info below because you need to know what could be happening in the area you want to live in.

I have also been wondering if all of the mainstream articles he shows as proof (and there are a lot) is the evils’ handwork. I mean they are ONLY coming from the mainstream media. But I have also heard from several refugees that they got so sick, they were sick for a month.

I recently heard from a tourist in Argentina who came here a couple of years ago that she got very sick in Cancun and was sick for 2 months AFTER she went back home. WOW She was sure it was the food.

I can’t say one way or another if all of the reports are lies because I do believe the evils are poisoning Mexico, but if it’s not all true, then WHY don’t they want us coming to Mexico?

Most other Mexican expat groups on fakebook are full of zombies, and they lash out at anyone who speaks the truth whether it be about the toxic water or the war/scamdemic.

They either lie out of ignorance, or because they have a vested interest in you coming to them to give them money.

Here are some excerpts about the toxic water in Mexico…

“After NAFTA companies from the entire world opened factories in Mexico to exploit the cheap labor and lapse environmental enforcement. They all build close to a river to dump their toxic waste. The sewage systems are also overburdened and outdated. Nobody wants to smell or swim in the ocean with sewage but it also hassome major health risks.

One got mad because I said you can smell the sewage in the ocean in Boca del Rio (which you can) and skin infections are common to those who swim there… snip”

Another got mad because I posted a report that Mexico will send a nurse to your home and vaccinate your child who is in public schools if they fall behind, even if you are not home, they will inject and leave a note. … snip…”

A lot got mad when I reported that children were dying from breathing the pesticides evaporating off of Lake Chapala which was documented by blood tests by the University of Guadalajara. They own BnB’s there or sell real estate.

A lot got mad when I reported that cancer in women went up by 40% in one year in the Yucatan including Merida because there are pesticides in the water that are inhaled during a shower.

More got mad when I reported alpha radiation 300% over the permissible limits, arsenic and excessive fluoride in the water in San Miguel de Allende causing childhood cancers to fly, they too own real estate ventures.”

“Merida is not “crime free” nor, “the safest city in Mexico” as they have titled themselves, There are murders, kidnappings, child rape, coyotes holding immigrants in houses and cancer in women rose by 40% last year alone from showering in water that has pesticides in it.”

“In other places such as Guanajuato, including San Miguel de Allende the aquifer is being depleted at such a fast rate that the water coming up now is drawn from such depths that naturally occurring toxins are coming up with the water, alpha radiation 300% over the permissible limits, arsenic, and excessive fluoride are causing cancer rates to fly.

Erionite exists on the surface and entire adobe houses are built with earth that contains erionite, this is causing lung cancer rates to skyrocket.

All beaches in Mexico contain some amount of fecal coliforms, the amount depends on the location and population and the proximity of rivers flushing millions of gallons into the ocean daily, particularly after a hard rain. Mazatlan, Sayulita, Puerto Vallarta and others. Generally Oaxaca beaches are cleaner than those to the north.

But, some of the most popular expatriate destinations which are populated with the largest number of expatriates or expats are so polluted people are dying. I will touch on the different types of problems briefly here so that you get an understanding of just how severe the pollution can be in places here and then will cover them in greater detail later in this book.

For example in the state of Guanajuato, including the very popular San Miguel de Allende cancer rates are literally flying through the roof. Also there was a rise of breast and uterine cancer in women which rose 40% in 2018 alone in the Yucatan. Why, you ask? Because there are pesticides in the water supply there and really severe toxins in the water in Guanajuato.

People think, “I will only drink bottled water and be safe” but this is not the case. This isn’t Kansas, the pollution in certain places is so severe and the water treatment so questionable that just showering in some places is causing the sudden rise in cancer because the toxins are inhaled while showering.

Just breathing the fumes of pesticides and glyphosate coming off Mexico’s largest freshwater lake, and one of the top expat destinations, Lake Chapala is causing kidney failure, deaths, birth defects and neurological damage to the children.

According to a report from Reuters, pesticides evaporating from the lake are breathed by the population and this is causing children all along the shores of the lake to die from kidney failure. There are also birth defects such as heart defects, club feet, malformed hands, and neurological damage, the children can’t even color within the lines at an age where they should be doing this. More than half of the school children have damaged kidneys, and only one in 6 demonstrates healthy cognitive development according to a study done by the University of Guadalajara. The research found significant attention and memory deficits among local children with many struggling with fine motor skills used for drawing, writing and eating.

The rivers of Mexico are largely open sewers contaminated with industrial waste, chemicals, raw sewage, runoff of pesticides, and chemical fertilizers, herbicides such as Roundup or glyphosate, a known carcinogen, heavy metals and chemicals used in mining such as mercury.

Mexico has some of the toughest environmental laws on the pollution of rivers but they are simply not enforced. This lack of enforcement is in part due to no governmental agencies actively inspecting industrial facilities along with corruption.

Factories are always located on a river, to get rid of the waste. If they build a waste water treatment facility which is expensive to operate and maintain, most of the time it is simply bypassed until an inspection is announced and the toxins wind up in the river untreated. When detected, “fines” or extortion will be imposed and all is forgiven.

In the case of the Lerma River which eventually dumps into Lake Chapala, it flows through five states receiving the toxic waste of almost nine thousand factories.

In 2008 an eight year old boy named Miguel was kicking a ball with his friends alongside the Lerma River in northwestern Mexico. The ball rolled into the water and when he stepped into the water to retrieve it, he fell in. After grabbing the ball he immediately got out. Later that night Miguel began to vomit. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he fell into a coma, eighteen days later he died and the cause was determined to be arsenic poisoning, just from that brief encounter with the water, imagine showering in poorly treated water daily and inhaling this.

In other popular expat locations such as San Miguel de Alllende, the water underground or the aquifer has been so over exploited for so long that the water level has dropped over three hundred feet in the past sixteen years. According to a report from The National Institute for Nuclear Research (ININ) of Mexico’s Energy Ministry and the Autonomous University of Mexico, at these depths in volcanic rock naturally occurring radiation 300 % over the permissible limits, arsenic, erionite, (a mineral similar to asbestos which causes cancer when inhaled) and excessive fluoride, so much that is eating holes in the children’s teeth and attacking their skeletons with skeletal fluorosis).

These toxins are inhaled during a shower in the water vapor. Later when the shower walls and floor dries, the erionite fibers are released and become airborne, causing a lung cancer similar to asbestosis.

Heavy metals is a somewhat deceptive term as heavy metals are simply naturally occurring elements that have an atomic weight and a density at least 5 times than that of water. Still, they can become airborne and inhaled such as in the shower or car exhaust, such as in downtown Merida where these toxins were reported to be five times higher in the center of town than the outlying neighborhoods .

Heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, silver and arsenic in even minute quantities have delirious affects causing acute and chronic toxicities in humans. Once introduced into the body these elements are distributed through the body to the tissues. Lead is carried by the red blood cells to the liver and kidneys and is subsequently redistributed to the bones, teeth and hair.

Cadmium binds to the blood cells then moves on to the liver an kidneys. Arsenic is distributed by the blood and winds up in the heart, lungs, liver, muscle and neural tissues. Many places popular with expats have heavy metals in the water and air and will be discussed in this book.

According to a report done by Plumaslibres, Mexico uses 183 pesticides of which 111 have been banned in other countries, even though scientific evidence shows that these substances are capable of generating cancer and other effects on the endocrine, metabolic and neurological system. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reported that Mexican agriculture used an average of 4.55 tons of pesticides (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) per thousand hectares between 2009 and 2010.

In addition to the pesticides, glyphosate, a known carcinogen is widely used just before the harvest to speed up the drying of crops such as beans, not only as a defoliant which it is also used as.

In October of 2018 the ACO, the Organic Consumers Association announced the result of laboratory tests that found levels of glyphosate and AMPA – amino methyl phosphonic acid, the main metabolite of glyphosate in various samples of white corn and yellow corn of the Maseca brand. The most outstanding cases of the study were those of corn flour tortillas, in which the effective concentration of glyphosate were 17.59 percent were located. In the American brand of dehydrated corn HoneyVille the finding was 29.98 percent.

The entire Yucatan Peninsula has a limestone or “karst” substrate or ground. There are no rivers in this region but the water flows through underground rivers. Limestone is highly permeable, that is, any substance that is placed on the ground quickly and easily leeches down through the earth and into the water supply. This includes pesticides which are widely used on crops and pig farms and herbicides which are also used to control weeds and dry crops prior to harvesting.

Sewage also soaks easily through the ground into the water supply. The city of Merida has over a million residents with thousands more showing up monthly but only treats 1.6 percent of its sewage, the rest trickles back down into the water supply. Women from all over the Yucatan tested positive for pesticides not only in their blood but also in their breast milk, passing these poisons onto the babies.”

Someone asked about El Cuyo and Felipe’s response was… “You won’t find good water in the Yucatan, cancer rates are flying there, an increase of 40% last year alone. Showering in and inhaling pesticides are the main problems. I personally would avoid the Yucatan completely. ”

That’s just some of the evidence of what goes on.

I’ll leave this with you so you can get an understanding of what we have to put up with here.

Here’s my first article about escaping to Mexico.

Here’s my information on drinking water in Mexico.

I hope you have learned something.
