In the words of Friedrich Engels Quote Parliamentary cretinism is an incurable disease, an ailment whose unfortunate victims are permeated by the lofty conviction that the whole world, its history and its future are directed and determined by a majority of votes of just that very representative institution that has the honour of having them in the capacity of its members. ref http www.marxists.org glossary terms p a.htm Glossary of Terms Pa Bot generated title ref References references Category Communist theory Poli term stub hist stub ... more details

Basil Stuart Hetzel , Order of Australia AC born 13 June 1922 is an Australia n medical researcher who has made a major contribution to combating iodine deficiency , a major cause of goitre and cretinism world wide. Academic career Hetzel graduated in medicine from the University of Adelaide in the 1940s. He was held a Fulbright Program Fulbright Research Scholar in the 1950s. He returned to Adelaide and was employed as Reader and then Michell Professor of Medicine at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide , University of Adelaide before moving to Monash University as the Foundation Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine . He also held the position of first chief of the CSIRO Division of Human Nutrition, Chair of the University of South Australia s Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, and University of South Australia Chancellor 1992&ndash 1998, Research Hetzel worked in remote areas of Papua New Guinea with the Public Health Department of the then Territory, and his research concluded that the endemic goitre and associated cretinism was attributable to an iodine deficient diet. He also demonstrated that dietary supplementation would entirely prevent these illnesses. In the 1980s Hetzel, supported by the Australian Agency for International Development , became an international advocate for iodine supplementation, which is now taken for granted with iodinated table salt . This was part of the stimulus for the creation of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders association, which is funded by various government, non government and community organisations including the United Nations , UNICEF , the World Health Organization , and the World Bank . It is claimed that iodine supplementation has been achieved in 70 of households worldwide by 2000.

The Taron are a small ethnic group in the Himalayan foothills of northern Burma Myanmar whose population is declining to the point where they are in danger of disappearing entirely. They have been referred to as the Asian pygmies . Like the pygmies of Central Africa and the Negritos of Southeast Asia , the Tarons are very small, averaging less than 4 feet and 3 inches 139.5 cm . Evolutionary history The Tarons have received their name from their original habitat The headwaters of the Taron River. Leaving their original homeland around 200 years ago, the Tarons moved into Burma territory through the Thalalarkha mountain pass. They settled in Kachin State , in the lower Adunlaung River valley in the Naung Mun Township of Putao District. The landscape is dense forests and difficult terrain, with torrential streams and snow clad mountains that are home to rare wild animals such as the blue sheep and the leaf deer . In the 1960 s, a Burmese research expedition found over 50 pure blood pygmies, and although cases of cretinism, mental retardation, goiter, and other physical and mental ailments were noted, they felt as though the community would sustain itself. A 1997 field trip commissioned by the Kachin State Peace and Development Council revealed that only eight individuals of pure Taron stock remained. It makes the Taron one of the most highly endangered human populations in the world today. Dr. Alan Rabinowitz visited their village to learn about the Taron pygmies in the early twenty first century, and discovered the fate of the tribe. Dawi, age 39, the youngest remaining Taron pure blood, explained that Taron babies were being born with increasingly severe birth defects, without any known cause. The Taron elders decided that rather than risk any more misshapen children, their race would go extinct. As a child, his father explained that Dawi would have no wife, sire no children. Soon, he will be the last Taron pygmy alive. In 2003, Dr. P. Christiaan Klieger from the Ca ... more details
