Jones began checking into their diet, mainly laboratory mice provided by a scientific supply house. The mice too turned out to be contaminated by dieldrin, although there was nothing in their standard pellets of food that could account for the poison's presence. Jones, however, did find that there was a potentially damaging concentration of dieldrin in the sawdust used as bedding in the rodents' cages. With all the fervor of a Baker Street Irregular, he then traced the suspect sawdust to a maker of wooden window frames. There, Jones found, the manufacturer had, quite legally, sprayed...
...first stage of the experiment, NIH'S Malcolm Martin and Wallace Rowe will splice DNA from the polyoma virus (which causes tumors in mice but not in humans) into a specially engineered strain of the common bacteria Escherichia coli. The bacteria will be fed to or injected into mice and hamsters, which will then be examined to determine 1) if the bacteria multiply into progeny that also contain the viral DNA, and 2) if the bacteria-carried viral DNA can cause tumors in the animals...
Experiments with isolated melanoma cells and with melanoma cells inside mice bore out these predictions...
Because they heat animal tissue, medical science has found a place for microwaves in its grand scheme. Medicine uses microwaves for diathermy machines, which heat tumors. Medicine has also found that certain microwave frequencies cook mice. And since then, experience has taught us that microwaves are blinding, carcinogenic, and genetically damaging--to human beings...
...treatment of insomnia. The drug's analgesic, preanesthetic, and antidepressant qualities show promise for treating alcoholics and in mitigating the effects of heroin withdrawal. Marijuana may be useful for relieving hangovers, and experimentally, direct application of THC has even caused an 82 per cent reduction in tumors in mice...
