Dr. Seth Forman will appear on MSNBC Wednesday morning to discuss the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Tampa dermatologist says the chemicals used in the clean up could have lasting effects. Today’s interview will air at 11:30 a.m. during the cable network’s MSNBC Live show.

“BP has already pumped more than 800,000 gallons of this toxin into the Gulf of Mexico,” says the Tampa dermatologist. “While it is good the EPA is forcing BP to reduce the amount of COREXIT used, the damage is already done. We will see the effects of this for years to come, similar to ‘agent orange’ in the 1960’s.”

Dr. Forman is Board Certified in both Dermatology and Dermapathologist. He has researched and written several articles on dermatological issues, including skin cancer and eczema. He’s also the author of two chapters in the leading reference medical textbook, Comprehensive Dermatological Drug Therapy.

3. Then it's similar to the Roundup poison they spray on GMO mutant crops

on millions of acres of farmland with the pernicious republispin 'claim' that they are making farms and food 'sustainable.'

Big Chem. Big Oil. Big Pharma. Big Ag. Big Military-Industrial Complex.

8. He is not really saying that corexit is like agent orange, chemically. Only the effects

will be big and lasting, like those of agent orange have been. At least that's how I read it.
