EXCLUSIVE: West Virginians, Flushed Your Water Tank, Yet? DON'T! Scientist Says
West Virginia government officials’ advice regarding its tainted water has placed people directly in harm’s way, according to an expert who spoke to Deborah Dupré with Before It’s News on Wednesday, providing information on the best way to prevent further human poisoning.
“I have been encouraging everyone to avoid contact with liquids and vapors,” microbiologist Dr. Yuri Gorby said in an Unseen conversation.
No homeowner should be purging theirhot water tanks, according to Gorby.
“I would not allow any homeowner to purge their hot water tanks themselves,” he said.
Instead, the government, including Gov. Tomblin, instructed the public to flush the poison out of their home water systems, including their hot water tanks. Government officials provided details on how to do that. , both of which placed residents in harm’s way, according to Gorby and residents, who suffered neurological and other health problems in the process of doing as told.
“I realize that the longer those chemicals are in contact with plumbing and appliances, the more difficult it would be to clean those systems,” Gorby told Dupré. ”But in my opinion, flushing this waste stream - which was contained within the water distribution system - flushing this into the environmental was unwise.”
Gorby’s certain more poisons than already identified are in the area’s water system. He is eyeing frac chemicals, his colleagues have hinted, although he has not directly stated this to this reporter.
Today, one of Gorbys volunteer colleagues and former West Virginia gubernatorial candidate described chemicals that the team is eyeing , sating what the know so far is ”worse than imagined.” [See: EXCLUSIVE: 'Worse Than Feared' Poison In WV Leak Identified By Independent Scientist, Radiation Concern ]
The home system flushing method, that government officials publicly advised, is exposing people to those chemicals in their homes, he said.
“And this is exactly what happened,” Gorby stated, adding, “we have no idea of the environmental consequences from releasing those chemicals into the environment.”
He has restated they have no real credible data, yet, on what chemicals have leaked into the environment.
Safest Protocol For Residents: Do Not Purge Hot Water Tanks
“I have been encouraging everyone to avoid contact with liquids and vapors,” Gorby said. “I would not allow any homeowner to purge their hot water tanks themselves.”
He said that when West Virginia locals were volunteering to collect and send water samples to him, he advised them:
- Avoid all contact.
- Wear rubber gloves at the very least.
- Don’t breathe the fumes.
An ecologist has demonstrated on a video released Wednesday what is happening in West Virginia homes when residents try flushing their water systems, as officials told them to do to remove poison that leaked from Freedom Industries chemical tank, reportedly on Jan. 9.
Dr. Ben Stout is an ecologist from Wheeling Jesuit University, has fought against mountain top removal for decades, and recently took up the fight against fracking shale gas.
On January 18, 2014, Stout was videoed taking water samples from a kitchen faucet and a hot water tank of in an un-flushed Charleston, West Virginia home.
He describes the 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol that leaked into the water and sticking to insides of home pipes ”smells like cherry licorice, is light, oily and floats to the top of water.”
In the video, one can easily see the poison and sense its strength when it is released in the flush process.
Gorby warns: “Nobody at home should try flushing their system on their own.”
Hot water is the worst, as it gives off more potent fumes, he says.
Home water purging should be done by professionals and this should have been provided by the government officials and the responsible company. Instead, people did as told, many became sick, and homes are not being monitored where fumes from flushing did sicken people.
Over 100,000 homes and 300,000 people in nine West Virginia counties receive their water from the Elk River. All of them were using the poisoned water for at least a day, before advised it was tainted on Jan. 9.
Gorby said earlier this week that either the government should provide water for the 300,000 people in the poisoned zone or it should provide provisions for them to evacuate, at least temporarily until the poison is properly removed without further placing residents in harm’s way.
Monday, their governor gave little but a choice to West Virginians: Drink the water or don’t.
So what are residents supposed to do to prevent further compromising their health and safety by staying in their poisoned homes? Gorby explained what he’d do.
“I would turn off the power to their hot water heater,” Gorby said. “I would turn off all faucets. I would use other water even for flushing toilets. If that is not an option, I would close the lid after using the toilet and before flushing. I would then flush and leave the room and leave the fan on.”
In summary, according to Dr. Gorby:
- Avoid all contact with the water.
- Wear rubber gloves at the very least.
- Do not breathe the fumes.
- Turn off the power to hot water heater.
- Turn off all faucets.
- Use other water even for flushing toilets.
- If the latter is not an option, close the lid after using the toilet – before flushing.
- Flush and leave the room, leaving the fan on.
On Jan. 9, within hours of the declared federal disaster in West Virginia, military weapons of mass destruction response teams were on the scene, residents have learned this week.

Hopefully this will help prevent more poisoning. A hearty thanks to Dr. Gorby and his team.
The “leaders” are not only criminal, they’re incompetent. But cut them some slack, they’re just following orders…
Orders given by their Big Energy bosses.
West Virginians were told, “Flush your water tanks.” They were not told, “That will poison you more.”
This upcoming trial will be very interesting, indeed.
Remember when the twin towers fell in NY? The rescuers were told the air was safe to breath, when in fact the government knew it was not.
Lest we forget. Unfortunately for humans, that story was not repeatedly on the TV so people could see the damage the initial advice given after 911 caused so many more people to suffer. Thanks for the reminder, Sarah.
This is seeming less and less like an accident and more like a part of a larger agenda. First the Gulf of Mexico was contaminated. Then the Pacific Ocean is contaminated. The West Coast is having a fresh water emergency with unprecedented drought conditions where most of our produce is grown. Now the Mississippi Watershed has been fouled and we don’t have any idea as to what extent. The people in authority are instructing people to poison themselves while they are attempting to fix the problem in their homes. Suddenly we are in a global water crisis that didn’t exist prior to April 2010. How things can change in less than four years.
Thank you, Useful. What you suggest is too horrendous for too many people, of course.
Agreed, we are being hit from all sides – left, right, up and down.
I want to know exactly what was in those extra trucks coming and going, using the tank days before it leaked. I doubt we’ll get the full scoop on that until the trial – and goodness knows when that will happen.
What other deadly products does Nalco manufacture? I would start looking there first.
for how long can one do this..?? an get water from where..?? 10 counties away.. FEMA’s worthless unless you want heads knocked an total marital law.. FEMA hates being water boy/ blanket boy they’d much rather be bullet boy..
further more.. they even stopped being that roll since the govmn’t says it OK to drink the water..
remember back in the day when the govmn’t worked for the people.. an would do endless to make things right an hold accountable .. remember..
