Hi ladies, Here's a little news on the Dow C., and what their famous for producing, toxic chemicals called epoxy resins. I'm positive what they use the epoxy resin in, isn't that what is in our breast implants, of course this toxic resin is in all breast implants. Dow's claim to fame, while their victims sit here waiting for a settlement, Dow's out buying up other companies. Leader in science, and technology my fanny, this company is a killer of human lives...and continues to lie!! Link included, where you can get sick, as you read their sneaky pre planned buy outs. 

Sure the Dow's are broke, nope their using Your settlement money, to take over other companies. Dow's never going to change their strategy, or the toxins they manufacture, they're getting larger by the day! Now they can use other countries, UN informed people, to make their toxic chemicals faster @ this country probably doesn't require... an agency to check on them. Oops again.. like our own FDA, really made them, do the proper studies...and produce them to the FDA. 

What a buddy system, w0w, Dow can write their own laws.. in the USA! Read all about, how broke the Dow's aren't, and never were bankrupt! What a free ride, the Dow's have been allowed to pull off, Screech! We're watching every single move you make, an I mean even if you move one inch, I'm right there on your b*tt.. microscope extended up!
