These articles not only don't say anything, one of them says the
company's listing on the NASDAQ is in question pending an earlier
claim made by an employee.

All the otherr claims below are also not accurate. Arsenic does not
come in one form. I think I'll avoid Ironite. Do as you wish, but
you have not furnished any information which disputes that Ironite has
the same class of arsenic as that of naturally occuring in greensand.
You are mixing yourself up. Unwind and take a breath. Do as you
wish. I couldn't care less.

the SEC filings list some of the subsidiaries such as GrowTec and Lilly
Miller which also distribute Ironite today.

Jan chub, to address your retort to my statement about arsenic in
greensand
as "not bloody likely". I'm afraid so.

You can believe these or not but do some actual research on some of the
other States that now also test and have these Ironite products on their
approved list:

The Ferettel Co.'s (PA) Greensand 0-0-3 was 5.8 ppm and 30 ppm of
arsenic/lead respectively,

GRO TEC's (GA) product IRONITE PLUS 7-6-6 was 0.001ppm /0.7 ppm
arsenic/lead respectively,

GRO TEC's 1-0-1 product was 5.5509ppm /0.1ppm arsenic/lead respectively,

ALASKA FISH FERTILIZER CO , Portland, OR ALASKA DRY PURE FISH FERTILIZER
8-5-1 W-Y was Arsenic: 9.3, Lead: 4.6 ( note this is also a sub of
Central
Garden and Pet)

AGROWCHEM INC KINGSTON ONT CN KELP EXTRACT POWDER 1-0-19
Arsenic: 28.6, Lead: 1

WEST COAST MARINE BIO-PROCESSING Company, BC CN
Arsenic: 10, Lead: .02

approved product list for sale in WA State.

Even Dr Scheckel from the EPA news brief you both keep referencing stated
he believes that they changed their formula when he sent me a copy of the
actual study to review.

Spoken goatlike.
I hope your doctor can fix that for ya, Billy.

Yes, I was wondering about the killfile also

Security is not what I have, it's what I can do without,,,

And if you have acquired a product line from a company that went out of
business because of the dangers found in that product, wouldn't good
business dictate that they would at least change the name? They must have
sold a ton before they went out of business to acquire such a loyal
following.

And this proves what, in your mind?

I'll never forget my father-in-law up in his blueberry fields with his
portable oxygen tank dying with lung cancer spraying Roundup on the weeds.
Or my neighbor who also died of lung cancer standing there telling me, while
smoking a cigar, of all the things he did that the 'left' called unhealthy
and that hadn't harmed him. Then a quizzically look came over his face and
he said, 'Well, I guess they did.'


You don't believe that cigarettes are harmful?

In the same vein, you may want to google for
"superfund sites for mine tailing's ".

Anecdotal or not, some people will never take anything as evidence of health
risks. It's downright un-American to not buy and use anything they damn well
want to. To them I say go for it, win the Darwin award, but stop poisoning
the rest of the world while you're at it.

So what?

Dead thread, my 2 cents - Elvis has left the building.

Agreed
