Stretching is an important part of any workout routine. It helps increase your flexibility and reduce your chances of injury. It's best to stretch the muscles you've used after your cool down although, if you have any chronically tight muscles, you may want to stretch those after your warm up as well. Below are some common stretches for your lower body including your quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and hips. Do each stretch at least once and hold for at least 15 seconds (more if you have time). Each stretch should feel good. If you feel any pain, ease up and go slower.

A friend told me about www.3billionandcounting.com and after going there, I have checked out all I could about DDT. I am one of the early "enviromentalists" who signed on to do something good. I am outraged about the banning of DDT .. and mostly .. that I went along with this .. because I didn't check for MYSELF without hopping on the wagon. Aaron Hills needs to do a little research before he himself makes such arrogant remarks. It is hard .. to face being lied to. And for those of us who accepted these lies for so long, we will not continue to do so. Thank You Dr. Rutledge for the courage to expose such.

DDTisSafe 09/19/2010 12:15:00 AM
I've seen this movie and it made me real angry - at what? - The lies that I have been told about DDT, first at University , then by the media, then by the environmentalists. The hard, scientific evidence is presented in this movie to show that DDT is safe. So, why aren't we using it to save millions? That's something I can hardly admit to myself....that there are organisations and individuals out there who don't want to save anyone by banning the most cost effective, efficient tool available right now. Vaccines will take years. DDT is available now. Go see the movie yourself - and reach your own conclusions.

By the way, take heart, people. Several African nations are defying the Aaron Hillis' of the world, and the ban, by using DDT to fight the scourge in their countries. Unlike Mr. Hillis, who has a comfy malaria-free life in New York, they witness the life destroying effects of malaria every day.
Thank God they are willing to spit in the eye of those who prefer them dead.

What does Aaron Hillis care about a bunch of useless black people? Three billion and counting? Sounds like Hillis is cheering for six billion and counting. Perhaps if they were black gay children he would find a modicum of compassion.

I can see that Steve is a true believer.........strange how you consider those who have a broader approach to healing and do not resort only to conventional drug and chemical based therapies doctors, which by the way comes from the Latin meaning "teacher". Sounds like the only person you consider a doctor is one who dispenses chemicals, which by the way have most of there origins within the plant community, you know like acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin as you would call it) is derived from the active ingredient in white willow bark, salicylic acid, or the active ingredient in red yeast rice is the what they chemically synthesize to make cholesterol lowering drugs. But then again, there is alot more money to be sucked out of people after they contract a disease. Can't really do that if contraction of the disease is prevented now can you? And come to think of it, if the only people you consider doctors are those who dispense chemicals in prevention of or treatment of disease, well then I guess every sprayer of DDT would just have to fall into that realm. As for Dr. Taylor's credentials, I will let them speak for themselves, they can be viewed here: www.3billionandcounting.com

This moves reveals Rutledge Taylor for the idiot that he truly is. He's not even an MD--he's a Doctor of Osteopathy, i.e. he couldn't get into a real med school.

Questioner 09/18/2010 1:18:00 AM
I saw all of these comments on Silent Spring and did a quick google. Found this review by a scientist called Baldwin. It's called Chemicals and Pests and makes very interesting reading. It's available here: here:http://bwcase.tripod.com/sci1962.pdf
I thought this was an interesting point from the review:
"The author gives no figures for deaths known to be due to pesticides, but her description of certain cases may leave
the impression with the uninformed reader that such cases of death due to the direct effects of pesticides are numerous.
Actually human deaths in the United States known to be caused by
pesticides are less than 100 annually. To place this in proper perspective, consider that almost twice that many deaths are known to be caused by aspirin and that almost one-half as manv deaths are known to be caused by bee stings".

-
Jennifer Larson 09/17/2010 7:57:00 PM
Did it get your attention? Then good - that is the point! The message is the important factor - Is DDT dangerous? Should the government continue to ban a chemical that will kill mosquitos and other pests, when it can proven to be safe? I thought the film was clear, and well done.
-
Don 09/17/2010 7:49:00 AM
Pretty funny! I have been chatting with various folks about the film and my partner said that he used to play in the DDT spray when he was a kid---and he is normal (well... mostly LOL).
The guy doing my emissions test today said that he and his friends used to ride their bikes in the clouds behind the DDT truck and he said he doesn't have cancer and is just fine!

Grace 09/17/2010 7:38:00 AM
In response to TruthaboutSilentSpring, there is a very good article here:
www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/955667/posts
It is called Rachel Carson's ecological genocide and it is about Silent Spring and how it came about. It details how she was initially supported by Dr. J. Gordon Edwards but after Edwards started looking a little deeper and delving into the facts he withdrew his support. He realized Rachel Carson was spinning half truths and lies.
Hope this helps.
-
TruthaboutSilentSpring 09/17/2010 4:16:00 AM
Is it just possible, could it perhaps be that Rachel Carson was wrong? I heard she had a co-author to give scientific credibility, and that he walked away because he didn't agree with her approach and what she was claiming. Anyone know anything more about this? I thought the movie website (www.3billionandcounting.com) might have shed more light on this, but I can't find anything. Responses welcome.
-
annie k 09/17/2010 4:01:00 AM
Try it before you deny it! Easy to judge when death is not on at your door. Hard to believe one person's comments (and you complain about Rutledge Taylor not doing enough research) were able to eradicate a highly effective, low cost solution. If Taylor has eaten eat and is still walking around, he has every reason to look smug.

EndMalariaUseDDT 09/17/2010 3:39:00 AM
Hey - I'm not sure where this writer is coming from...I caught a preview of this documentary at a Q@A screening in LA. The director was there...he seems like a very legitimate, sincere guy. From what he was saying I think the making of this documentary had quite an impact on him. He started off as a total sceptic, believing that DDT was toxic....imagine his surprise finding those hearing papers, some 9000 odd pages. I heard there are scientists all over the world looking to track those papers down. And this guy found them! Well worth a view ....but I did get a shock or 2, so be prepared....this film goes way beyond malaria. I found a website too, www.3billionandcounting.com I see that it's showing in NY tomorrow.

Audrey Mullen 09/16/2010 11:06:00 PM
What a shame that Mr. Hills cares so little about about a disease that kills millions of poor Africans, primarily children. I guess he doesn't feel that their deaths are worth his concern. Perhaps showing the need for malaria prevention is part of an "agenda" he can't accept.

Hannah Neufeld 09/16/2010 5:51:00 PM
Wow, what an interesting review. Aaron Hillis must not have seen the same movie I was very fortunate to see at a special preview -- "3 Billion and Counting". Hysterical? I think not..... dawdling?? Hardly. This film kept an extremely even pace while presenting an overwhelming amount of evidence in a pretty unbiased way until the evidence clearly showed the route of DDT's banishment.
Mr. Hillis makes emotional judgments without actually weighing the film's merits as a film.
I thought it also very interesting that in the last sentence the writer included "even President Obama is scolded" -- as if our current president has been at the top of everybody's love poll.
So please, skip this hysterical and dawdling review and go see "3 Billion and Counting". It will open your eyes!!

kay 09/16/2010 10:12:00 AM
I have read some about this film, but still don't know if I should go see it. Would someone on this blog tell me if there is any "new" information in it. The website and the comments are intreguing to say the least. Is there an answer to the malaria problem? Is there an answer to bedbugs? Does the film give one? Is DDT poison? What does the film relate about organic foods? I have a friend in LA who did go to the private screening and she was really impressed especially with the organic food commentary. She said I would just have to see it and she wished she had taken more notes.

Anthony 09/16/2010 9:28:00 AM
European nations and now the "west" have been colonizing and raping Africa for centuries. It's appalling that they are now doing it under the guise of helping. When will it stop! Thank God Dr. Rutledge has the courage to speak out on this atrocity.
I have one question for you, Mr. Hill. Are the findings in the film true? You fail to approach that issue in your review. Closed minds can never even approach real knowledge i.e. the Truth. You should open yours by asking yourself several questions. Is DDT effective in fighting malaria? Is it harmless? Could the proper use of it greatly reduce the near 1 million malaria deaths a year? Should it have ever been banned? Why would we eradicate a disease in the west but prevent impoverished, disease riddled nations from doing the same?
Ignoring what is keeps you stuck in a lie.

Peter G. 09/16/2010 8:36:00 AM
This is all about a power grab. In the early 60's a "conspiracy" to take over the United States was hatched up by a group of folks. The term "ecology" was invented in Germany in around 1871 by the german zoologist Ernst Haeckel. This "ecological model" was incorporated by Adolf Hitler,and was quoted in his Mein Kampf. He used this as one of the various means to rise to power and pass environmental laws. This ecological philosophy later transplanted itself to England and later on the United States were it began to permeate the culture. The "beat" generation of the 50's started with several " naturist " from Germany moving to the United States. Their views began to spread and morphed into the " beatniks " or hippies in the 60's. A group of these folks found a cause upon which they could build a scaffolding to rise to power and take over the United States government. The "cause" they used was DDT. Their motto was "assume the government's function". They cut their hair became lawyers, scientists and began in unison a paper war to take over the United States. An endless battle of litigation using DDT as the "buggy man" to save the "ecological system" and made up pseudo scientific studies to scare the population. The result was just like in germany during Hitler's time. They assumed the government's function and since then have held positions in all of it's ramifications. The collateral damage of DDT being used as a scapegoat for their power grab has been 3 billion and counting deaths world wide from malaria and a ever growing momentum of social "control" policies subjected upon the american and worlwide populations. Today to further their agenda the new "buggy man" is CARBON. The results of this assault on carbon and the carbon footprint which touches upon every aspect of our lives will be much the same. Millions upon millions of deaths worldwide and a systematic take over of every aspect of our daily living. I for one do not welcome this infringement upon Freedom. So if you value Freedom go and see how this horrific hoax was pulled off as detailed in the movie 3 Billion and Counting and visit the website: http://www.3billionandcounting.com

Grace 09/16/2010 8:18:00 AM
Good judgement and intelligent decisions are made when one goes after the facts and does not succumb to decisions based on emotionalism. Dr Rutledge does the first real expose of the consequences of the DDT ban which not only has allowed malaria to run rampant throughout third world countries but may have contributed to the population explosion which is an inevitable result of forcing people to remain in abject poverty and destitution. The ban which was put in place, not based on fact, but on hype is just another tool of the elite to construct their version of a perfect world. When one uses ones authority or voice to blatantly go along with a motive that endangers the lives of others, this is considered a criminal offense, yet it does not seem to apply to government mandates which are issued based on pseudo-science. No one is held accountable. In actuality, if one were looking for the mother of all theories which condones mass murder, one would actually have to go back to the theory of evolution. This was after all the "master race" in disguise and a basis for Hitlers agenda and all other elitist agendas including AGW. To go along with something and not question places you on the same mental level as a sheep, hence the term sheeple. Dr Rutledge appeals to the audiences innate intelligence to find and investigate for themselves the facts of the matter, not the beliefs.

Pam Ryan 09/16/2010 8:15:00 AM
My main concern and the reason I truly applaud 3 Billion is the fact that DDT is not harmful and was banned for reasons the general public were never actually informed about. Attacking the film in this way is a tricky deflection, but the facts speak for themselves. DDT never harmed a living thing. Look more closely if you dare.
-
Trudy S 09/16/2010 6:56:00 AM
Have you ever been shocked awake by a nightmare? What if the nightmare was something you believed was true -- and then you find out it was a total lie? Propaganda has said (for decades) that DDT is harmful. There is now plenty of evidence to disprove that lie! Watch this movie (opening in New York on Friday Sept. 17): 3 Billion and Counting.

lisa thompson 09/16/2010 6:25:00 AM
Okay...So I completely disagree with the above review. And I did find this review a little irritating and kind of irresponsible. But maybe that's because I loved this movie. If someone Like Rachel Carson gets "vilified" it seems to me, that from research presented she should be more than vilifed, but possibly tried for murder. Okay. That's sensationalist too. But the fact is, that the evidence presented makes us wonder why she was so lauded and who was behind that?
Most of us have all seen sad movies deriding the plight of The African Continent and developping world. And though I find myself concerned about the issue, I have never seen a movie that offers an obtainable and simple solution. There is a solution for change that is obtainable? Wow. ...I feel it is worth noting that I grew up thinking DDT was very very bad and I am a natural born and avid environmentalist. But I am also obviously, a humanist and never considered that on some issues the two would be at extreme odds with each other...That (in frank language)...Blows my mind. However, it is also clear now, that saving babies does not mean killing birds or vice versa. (whether you care about either or not). Is that not news? I found the research that was presented to support the theory entirely credible.I was embarassed by the behavior and the comments of my fellow environmentalists caught on camera and it made me think twice about announcing myself as their fellow in the future. (okay...that;s ridiculous. But geez folks not all environmentalists share the same view. Let me at least say that!) And I found the movie quite beautiful as well as entertaniing.The movie made me want to get up and make it happen now. It made me feel it IS time for a great debate that leads to action. Action! This movie made me want to get up and get it done. The story moves along, made me laugh, and okay made me cry too. but mostly made me feel I'd been on a journey at who's end, I could be the messenger for change. Loved it. I'm wondering if we were at the same movie. Ahh that glass prism, we all think we're lookng in, but the light plays tricks on all of us. I will have to see this movie again to be sure.

Those "green" organisations which support a ban on DDT have a lot to answer for - they won't be getting any more of my money!
DDT is safe and all of those folks have been dying unnecessarily. DDT works. It is cheap, effective, safe. Did you get that last word - SAFE!

CTB 09/16/2010 5:06:00 AM
An excellent film, brilliantly executed by Dr. Rutledge Taylor. He clearly establishes what the world needs now is an effective anti parasite product. One that can be handled by people without any harm. One that helps rather than contaminates the environment. This product was already developed, yet was suppressed, like many new technologies, by the controlling group that wants to keep people in fear. That product is DDT. In the new movie, 3 Billion and Counting, which is premiering this Friday Sept 17th at the Quad Cinema in the village NYC, watch the astonishing truth about the suppression of DDT and the resulting economic and physical results of such suppression. Cultures cannot rise and reach a population balance if they are being held down by health slavery. See the truth and shine the light of awareness on this very fixable problem. Don't miss this opportunity to learn the truth!

NoisyFall 09/16/2010 4:52:00 AM
Ignore Hillis. If you look at his previous reviews you will see that he's just in the business of rubbishing most of the movies he writes about. He's a journalist, and they like to be a bit "controversial". Actually, he's a sloppy journalist: I can't believe malaria kills "hundreds of millions" of people each year, as he says -- I think that number of deaths would have come to people's attention by now -- so either he's mis-quoted something (sloppy) or made the number up (even worse). Come to think of it, has Hillis actually seen the movie? If I was in the City this week I would go and see it.
-
edward 09/16/2010 4:24:00 AM
Sounds to me Aaron Hillis does'nt know what he is talking about.
He should try living in a country that has malaria. Malaria was wiped out in the USA by DDT.
He obviously not had to many of his family die from Malaria

Don Chestnut 09/16/2010 4:06:00 AM
Well, I have known Dr. Rutledge for almost 20 years and have known few others that have the individual integrity and devotion to Truth that this man embodies.
The findings in the film are based SOLELY on hard science and research and over 5000 pages of testimony that was presented in the EPA's original case on DDT---all of which SUPPORT the safe use of DDT! None of which was considered in the ruling.
It sounds as though Mr. Hillis has a chip on his shoulders which he is transferring to a brilliant film by which I was impressed.
I would expect the likes of the Village Voice to have more "open" views... something we claim to want on our side. How long will sheeple simply accept hear-say and emotional confusion in place of fact?
I am astounded by the accuracy of this quote:
A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. – Dresden James
