She is hip to all of the fluoride stuff. The Census is a no brainer. If you are uncomfortable with any questions don’t answer them. My take is that you only have a constitutional duty to answer the number of people in your home. That is what I will do and leave the rest blank. There are possible penalties. 100$ fine for no answer; 500$ fine for knowingly giving false information. I DO NOT recommend lying on the form. Bottom line realize you open yourself to possible fines and be prepared for them if you don’t answer all the questions. It’s now or never on healthcare!!! Make your last ditch stance now or it may be too late!! Worker ID card, biometric ID. More personal intrusion in my space rather than enforcing laws that are on the books right now like E-Verify and hey what about a FENCE?

CDC says genital herpes is still a ’serious health threat’

Published on 03-12-2010

As much as 16 percent of the U.S. population between the ages of 14 and 49 has genital herpes, according to a government study released Tuesday.

And sexually transmitted diseases of all varieties infect 19 million more Americans every year — a rate that costs the health care system some $16 billion annually, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found. The study was released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as part of the the National STD Prevention Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

The herpes simplex 2 virus — one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States — causes painful, recurring genital sores.

“This study serves as a stark reminder that herpes remains a common and serious health threat in the United States. Everyone should be aware of the symptoms, risk factors and steps that can be taken to prevent the spread of this lifelong and incurable infection,” said Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention.

Women and African-Americans have the highest rate of genital herpes infections. According to the study, one in five women is infected with the herpes virus. The infection rate was almost twice as high among women — nearly 21 percent — than among men, at 11.5 percent.

For African-Americans, the prevalence of infection was 39.2 percent — more than three times that of whites, at 12.3 percent.

Black women are most affected by the disease, with an infection rate of 48 percent.

Fenton said the high rates of herpes among African-Americans is most likely contributing to the high rate of HIV in that community. In fact, statistics show that people with herpes are two to three times more likely to get HIV if exposed.

The CDC estimates that more than 80 percent of the people who have the herpes simplex 2 virus don’t know they are infected. Many people never have symptoms or outbreaks, or those symptoms are mild and mistaken for something else. But transmission can occur without symptoms or visible sores.

“Many individuals are transmitting herpes to others without even knowing it,” said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., director of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention. “We can’t afford to be complacent about this disease. It is important that persons with symptoms suggestive of herpes — especially recurrent sores in the genital area — seek clinical care to determine if these symptoms may be due to herpes and might benefit from treatment.”

These new numbers are from data between 2005 and 2008 and are consistent with the last study, which covered 1999-2004. The CDC says that there was a slight decline in infection rates but that it was not statistically significant.

Prevention strategies can help reduce national rates, the CDC said, and there are a number of effective drugs that can help treat and prevent outbreaks.

Douglas said people who know their herpes status should avoid sex when they have symptoms or sores, limit their number of sexual partners, and use condoms consistently and correctly.

However, CDC experts say there are a number of barriers to treatment, including poverty and lack of access to care. They say young women often don’t get tested for STDs because of misinformation and stigma.

According to four studies also released at the National STD Prevention Conference on Tuesday, African-Americans are shouldering a heavy STD burden.

While African-Americans make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, that population accounts for nearly half of all reported syphilis and chlamydia cases, more than 70 percent of all reported gonorrhea cases and about half of all new HIV infections.

And, according to CDC experts, while African-American women and men are often unwilling to get tested, doctors are often reluctant to discuss sexual health with their patients — particularly with black male patients.

Something doesn’t quite add up about genetically modified (GM) foods.
Big biotech claims that genetic engineering is a necessary step towards feeding the world’s growing population. And yet debate still rages as to whether GM crops actually increase yields at all. Furthermore, the UN recently stated that 30,000 people a day were starving to death, but not because of underproduction of crops. It’s simply through lack of access.
Independent scientific studies raised serious alarm bells over the safety of GM foods over a decade ago. But while this made front-page headlines in European newspapers, the North American mainstream media were conspiratorially silent.
Biotech companies stand to make billions from their seed patents. Governments and supreme courts have sanctioned the patenting of life itself. The planet’s food supply is becoming increasingly dominated by fewer and fewer players.
If the biotech industry’s stated intention of feeding the world is misguided or even misdirecting, is there another political agenda behind GM food? Have we been mis-sold? Were we even given a choice in the first place?
It looks the same – the bread, pies, sodas, even corn on the cob. So much of what we eat every day looks just like it did 20 years ago. But something profoundly different has happened without our knowledge or consent. And according to leading doctors, what we don’t know may already be hurting us big time.
In May, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) publicly condemned genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our food supply, saying they posed "a serious health risk." They called on the US government to implement an immediate moratorium on all genetically modified (GM) foods, and urged physicians to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients.
GM-What?
Genetic engineering is quite distinct from selective breeding because it involves taking genes from a completely different species and inserting them into the DNA of a plant or animal. The long term effects of this for our health and our planet’s biodiversity are unknown.
AAEM, an "Academy of Firsts," was the first US medical organization to describe or acknowledge Gulf War Syndrome, chemical sensitivity, food allergy/addiction, and a host of other medical issues. But the potential for harm from GMOs dwarfs anything they have identified thus far. It can impact everyone who eats.
More than 70% of the foods on supermarket shelves contain derivatives of the eight GM foods on the market – soy, corn, oil from canola and cottonseed, sugar from sugar beets, Hawaiian papaya, and a small amount of zucchini and crook neck squash. The biotech industry hopes to genetically engineer virtually all remaining vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans (not to mention animals).
The two primary reasons why plants are engineered are to allow them to either drink poison, or produce poison. The poison drinkers are called herbicide tolerant. They’re inserted with bacterial genes that allow them to survive otherwise deadly doses of toxic herbicide. Biotech companies sell the seed and herbicide as a package deal, and US farmers use hundreds of millions of pounds more herbicide because of these types of GM crops. The poison producers are called Bt crops. Inserted genes from the soil bacterium Bacillus Thuringiensis produce an insect-killing pesticide called Bt-toxin in every cell of the plant. Both classes of GM crops are linked to dangerous side effects.
Doctors and Patients: Just Say No to GMOs
"Now that soy is genetically engineered," warns Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles, "it is so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it." How dangerous are GM foods? World renowned biologist Pushpa M. Bhargava, PhD, believes they are the major reason for the recent rise in serious illnesses in the US.
The range of what GMOs might do to us is breathtaking. "Several animal studies," according to the AAEM, reveal a long list of disorders, including: "infertility, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated with cholesterol synthesis, [faulty] insulin regulation, cell signaling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system."
"There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects," says the AAEM position paper. Based on established scientific criteria, "there is causation."
Difficult to Trace the Damage
Outside the carefully controlled laboratory setting, it is more difficult to confidently assign GMOs as the cause for a particular set of diseases, especially since there are no human clinical trials and no agency that even attempts to monitor GMO-related health problems among the population. "If there are problems," says biologist David Schubert, PhD, of the Salk Institute, "we will probably never know because the cause will not be traceable and many diseases take a very long time to develop."
GM crops were widely introduced in 1996. Within nine years, the incidence of people in the US with three or more chronic diseases nearly doubled – from 7% to 13%. Visits to the emergency room due to allergies doubled from 1997 to 2002. And overall food related illnesses doubled from 1994 to 2001, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Obesity, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and autism are also among the conditions that are skyrocketing in the US.
The Lyme Induced Autism Foundation, a patient advocacy group, is not waiting for studies to prove that GMOs cause or worsen Lyme, autism, and the many other diseases on the rise since gene-spliced foods were introduced. Like AAEM, the LIA Foundation says there is more than enough evidence of harm in animal feeding studies for them to "urge doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets" and for "individuals, especially those with autism, Lyme disease, and associated conditions, to avoid" GM foods.
Another patient group, those suffering from eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS), is more confident about the GMO origins of their particular disease. It was caused by a genetically engineered brand of a food supplement called L-tryptophan in the late 1980s. It killed about 100 Americans and caused 5,000-10,000 people to fall sick or become permanently disabled. The characteristics of EMS made it much easier for authorities to identify the epidemic and its cause. It only affected those who consumed the pills; symptoms came on almost immediately; and its effects were horrific – including unbearable pain and paralysis. There was even a unique, easy-to-measure change in the white blood cell count. But even though EMS was practically screaming to be discovered, it still took the medical community more than four years – and it was almost missed.
"The experiments simply haven’t been done and we now have become the guinea pigs." David Suzuki, renowned Canadian geneticist.
What if the GMOs throughout our food supply are creating common diseases which come on slowly? It would be nearly impossible to confirm them as the cause. "Physicians are probably seeing the effects in their patients," says AAEM president Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, "but need to know how to ask the right questions." The patients at greatest risk are the very young. "Children are the most likely to be adversely effected by toxins and other dietary problems" related to GM foods, says Dr. Schubert. They become "the experimental animals," our collective canaries in the coal mine.
Warnings by Government Scientists Ignored and Denied
Scientists at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had warned about all these problems back in the early 1990s. According to secret documents made public from a lawsuit, the scientific consensus at the agency was that GM foods were inherently dangerous, and might create hard-to-detect allergies, poisons, new "super" diseases, and nutritional problems. They urged their superiors to require rigorous long-term tests. But the White House had ordered the agency to promote biotechnology and the FDA responded by recruiting Michael Taylor, Monsanto’s former attorney, to head up the formation of GMO policy. That policy, which is in effect today, denies knowledge of the scientists’ concerns and declares that no safety studies on GMOs are required. It is up to Monsanto and the other biotech companies – who have a long history of lying about the toxicity of their earlier products – to determine if their own foods are safe.
After overseeing GMO policy at the FDA, Mr. Taylor worked on GMO issues at the USDA, and then later became Monsanto’s vice president. In the summer of 2009, he went through the revolving door again. Taylor was appointed by the Obama administration as the de facto US food safety czar at the FDA.
Dangerously Few Studies, Untraceable Diseases
"Where is the scientific evidence showing that GM plants/food are toxicologically safe, as assumed by the biotechnology companies?" This was the concluding question posed in a 2007 review of published scientific literature on the health risks of GM plants, showing that the number of studies and available data are "very scarce."
"The experiments simply haven’t been done and we now have become the guinea pigs," says renowned Canadian geneticist David Suzuki. He adds, "Anyone that says, ‘Oh, we know that this is perfectly safe,’ I say is either unbelievably stupid or deliberately lying."
When consumers realize the dangers of GM foods and that the FDA has abdicated its responsibility to protect us, they usually want to opt out of this massive feeding experiment. In fact, most Americans already say they would avoid GMO brands if given a choice.
It wouldn’t take a majority of us to kick GMOs out of our food supply. Kraft and other food companies wouldn’t wait until half their market share is gone before telling their suppliers to switch to the non-GM corn, soy, etc. By using GM ingredients, they don’t offer customers a single advantage. The food doesn’t taste better, last longer, or have more nutrients. Thus, if even a tiny percentage of US consumers – say 5% or 15 million people – started avoiding GMO brands, the millions in lost sales revenue would likely force brands to remove all GM ingredients, like they already have in Europe.
But the FDA doesn’t want to give us the choice. They ignore the wishes of nine out of ten Americans for mandatory GMO labeling in order to promote the economic interests of just five biotech companies.
The Shocking Evidence of Harm from GMOs
Genetically modified (GM) foods have not been scientifically tested on human beings. (The only published human feeding study had ominous results) Instead, animals are used as our surrogates, but the few published animal safety studies are generally short-term and superficial. In fact, industry-funded research is widely criticized as designed to avoid finding problems. They’ve got bad science – down to a science. Even still, the accumulated evidence of harm is compelling people to read ingredient labels and avoid brands with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Infant Mortality and Reproductive Disorders
When GM soy flour was added to the diets of female rats, most of their babies died within three weeks – compared to only a 10% death rate among mothers fed natural soy. The babies from the GM-fed group were also smaller and later had problems getting pregnant.
When male rats were fed GM soy, their testicles actually changed color – from the normal pink to dark blue. Mice testicles also showed changes, including damaged young sperm cells. And the DNA in mice embryos functioned differently when their parents ate GM soy. Mice fed GM corn had fewer babies, and their children were smaller than normal.
About two dozen US farmers say that thousands of their pigs became sterile after consuming certain GM corn varieties. Some had false pregnancies; others gave birth to bags of water. Cows and bulls also became infertile when fed the same corn. Investigators in the state of Haryana, India, report that most buffalo that ate GM cottonseed had reproductive complications such as premature deliveries, abortions, infertility, and prolapsed uteruses. Many calves died.
In the US population, the incidence of low birth weight babies, infertility, and infant mortality are all escalating.
Food, A Registered Pesticide?
When insects bite genetically modified Bt corn and cotton, they get a mouthful of a built-in toxin, produced by every cell of the plant. The poison splits open their stomach and kills them. The GM plants are registered as pesticides with the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Biotech companies claim that Bt-toxin has a history of safe use, since organic farmers and others use Bt bacteria spray for natural insect control. Genetic engineers insert genes from the bacteria into the DNA of the corn and cotton, so the plants themselves do the killing.
They fail to point out that the Bt-toxin produced in GM plants:

• Is thousands of times more concentrated than natural Bt spray
• Is designed to be more toxic
• Has properties of an allergen
• Unlike the spray, cannot be washed off the plant.

But even the less toxic natural bacterial spray is harmful. When dispersed by plane to kill gypsy moths in the Pacific Northwest, about 500 people reported allergy or flu-like symptoms. Some had to go to the emergency room.
Those exact same symptoms are now being reported by farm workers handling Bt cotton grown in India. According to Sunday India, medical records confirm that "victims of itching have increased massively . . . related to Bt cotton farming."
If GM crops kill animals, how safe are they for us to eat?
When sheep grazed on Bt cotton plants after harvest, thousands died. Post mortems showed severe irritation and black patches in their intestines and livers. Investigators said preliminary evidence "strongly suggests that the sheep mortality was due to a toxin. . . . most probably Bt-toxin." In a small feeding study, 100% of sheep fed Bt cotton died within 30 days, while those grazing on natural cotton plants in the adjoining field had no symptoms.
Similarly, buffalo that grazed on natural cotton plants for years without incident are reacting to the Bt variety. In one village, for example, they allowed their 13 buffalo to graze on Bt cotton plants for a single day in January 2008. All died within three days.
Bt corn was also implicated in the deaths of cows in Germany, and horses, buffaloes, and chickens in the Philippines. Even Monsanto’s own 90-day rat feeding study showed evidence of poisoning in major organs due to their Bt corn. And a 2008 Italian government study found that Bt corn provoked immune responses in mice.
GMOs Contain Allergens
Immune system problems in GMO-fed animals are "a consistent feature of all the studies," according to GM food safety expert Dr. Arpad Pusztai. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine specifically notes an increase in cytokines, "associated with asthma, allergy, and inflammation." While all three conditions are on the rise in the US, it is the upsurge in food allergies among children that has generated the most alarm nationwide.
There are many reasons why GMOs might be the cause:

• The GM proteins produced in GM soy, corn, and papayas have properties of known allergens. They actually fail the allergy screening protocol recommended by the World Health Organization.
• The process of creating a GMO can introduce new allergens or elevate existing ones. Both GM soy and corn contain new unintended allergenic proteins, and GM soy has as much as seven times higher levels of a natural soy allergen – trypsin inhibitor.
• Herbicide tolerant GM crops have considerably more residues of toxic herbicides, which may provoke reactions.
• Skin prick allergy tests confirm that some people react to GM, but not to non-GM soy.

Soon after GM soy was introduced to the UK, soy allergies skyrocketed by 50%. But there are other non-GM foods that are also provoking more allergic responses now than in the past. Research shows, however, that consuming GM foods may still be the culprit by provoking sensitivity to other foods.
Mice fed Bt-toxin, for example, not only reacted to the Bt itself, they started having immune reactions to foods that were formerly harmless. Similarly, after mice ate GM peas, they started to react to other foods that previously had no impact. In addition, GM soy drastically reduces digestive enzymes in mice. If our ability to breakdown proteins is impaired, we could become allergic to a wide variety of foods.
GMOs and Liver Problems
As a primary detoxifier, the condition of the liver can point to toxins in our diet. The livers of mice and rats fed GM feed had profound changes. Some were smaller and partially atrophied, others were significantly heavier, possibly inflamed, and some showed signs of a toxic insult from eating GM food.
The Worst Finding of All? GMOs Remain Inside Us!
The only published human feeding study revealed what many find to be the most disturbing discovery. The genes inserted into GM crops transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside our intestines and continue to function. This means that long after we stop eating GMOs, we may still have potentially harmful GM proteins produced continuously inside of us. Although scientists only tested this on soy, if Bt genes from corn chips also transferred, they could transform our intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories, possibly for the rest of our lives.
When doctors hear about this evidence, they often respond by citing the huge increase of gastrointestinal problems over the last decade. GM foods might be colonizing the gut flora of North Americans.
Even if GMOs helped combat global hunger, which they don’t, it would be hard to justify putting these high-risk organisms into the food supply in their current state. Especially since GM crops cross-pollinate and contaminate the environment. Their self-propagating genetic pollution may outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste.
Shhhh! Meet the Scientists Who Dared to Break the Silence on GMOs.
Arpad Pusztai
Biologist Arpad Pusztai had more than 300 articles and 12 books to his credit and was the world’s top expert in his field. But when he accidentally discovered that genetically modified (GM) foods are dangerous, he became the biotech industry’s bad-boy poster child, setting an example for other scientists thinking about blowing the whistle.
In the early 1990s, Dr. Pusztai was awarded a $3 million grant by the UK government to design the system for safety testing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). His team included more than 20 scientists working at three facilities, including the Rowett Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, the top nutritional research lab in the UK, and his employer for the previous 35 years. The results of Pusztai’s work were supposed to become the required testing protocols for all of Europe. But when he fed supposedly harmless GM potatoes to rats, things didn’t go as planned.
Within just 10 days, the animals developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, smaller brains, livers, and testicles, partially atrophied livers, and damaged immune systems. Moreover, the cause was almost certainly side effects from the process of genetic engineering itself. In other words, the GM foods on the market, which are created from the same process, might have similar affects on humans.
With permission from his Director, Pusztai was interviewed on TV and expressed his concerns about GM foods. He became a hero at his Institute – for two days. Then came the phone calls from the pro-GMO Prime Minister’s office to the Institute’s Director. The next morning, Pusztai was fired. He was silenced with threats of a lawsuit, his team was dismantled, and the protocols never implemented. His Institute, the biotech industry, and the UK government, together launched a smear campaign to destroy Pusztai’s reputation.
Eventually, an invitation to speak before Parliament lifted his gag order and his research was published in the prestigious Lancet. No similar in-depth studies have yet tested the GM foods eaten every day by Americans and Canadians.
Irina Ermakova
Irina Ermakova, a senior scientist at the Russian National Academy of Sciences, was shocked to discover that more than half of the baby rats in her experiment died within three weeks. She had fed the mothers GM soy flour purchased at a supermarket. The babies from mothers fed natural non-GMO soy, however, only suffered a 10% death rate. She repeated her experiment three times with similar results.
Dr. Ermakova reported her preliminary findings at a conference in October 2005, asking the scientific community to replicate her study. Instead, she was attacked and vilified. Her boss told her to stop doing anymore GM food research. Samples were stolen from her lab, and a paper was even set fire on her desk. One of her colleagues tried to comfort her by saying, "Maybe the GM soy will solve the overpopulation problem."
Of the mostly spurious criticisms leveled at Ermakova, one was significant enough to raise doubts about the cause of the deaths. She did not conduct a biochemical analysis of the feed. Without it, we don’t know if some rogue toxin had contaminated the soy flour. But more recent events suggest that whatever caused the high infant mortality was not unique to her one bag of GM flour. In November 2005, the supplier of rat food to the laboratory where Ermakova worked began using GM soy in the formulation. All the rats were now eating it. After two months, Ermakova asked other scientists about the infant mortality rate in their experiments. It had skyrocketed to over 55%.
It’s been four years since these findings were reported. No one has yet repeated Ermakova’s study, even though it would cost just a few thousand dollars.
Andrés Carrasco
Embryologist Andrés Carrasco told a leading Buenos Aires newspaper about the results of his research into Roundup®, the herbicide sold in conjunction with Monsanto’s genetically engineered Roundup Ready® crops. Dr. Carrasco, who works in Argentina’s Ministry of Science, said his studies of amphibians suggest that the herbicide could cause defects in the brain, intestines, and hearts of fetuses. Moreover, the amount of Roundup® used on GM soy fields was as much as 1,500 times greater than that which created the defects. Tragically, his research had been inspired by the experience of desperate peasant and indigenous communities who were suffering from exposure to toxic herbicides used on the GM soy fields throughout Argentina.
According to an article in Grain, the biotech industry "mounted an unprecedented attack on Carrasco, ridiculing his research and even issuing personal threats." In addition, four men arrived unannounced at his laboratory and were extremely aggressive, attempting to interrogate Carrasco and obtain details of his study. "It was a violent, disproportionate, dirty reaction," he said. "I hadn’t even discovered anything new, only confirmed conclusions that others had reached."
Argentina’s Association of Environmental Lawyers filed a petition calling for a ban on Roundup®, and the Ministry of Defense banned GM soy from its fields.
Terje Traavik
Prominent virologist Terje Traavik presented preliminary data at a February 2004 meeting at the UN Biosafety Protocol Conference, showing that:

• Filipinos living next to a GM cornfield developed serious symptoms while the corn was pollinating;
• Genetic material inserted into GM crops transferred to rat organs after a single meal; and
• Key safety assumptions about genetically engineered viruses were overturned, calling into question the safety of using these viruses in vaccines.

The biotech industry mercilessly attacked Dr. Traavik. Their excuse? He presented unpublished work. But presenting preliminary data at professional conferences is a long tradition in science, something that the biotech industry itself relied on in 1999 to try to counter the evidence that butterflies were endangered by GM corn.
Ironically, three years after attacking Traavik, the same biotech proponents sharply criticized a peer-reviewed publication for not citing unpublished data that had been presented at a conference. The paper shows how the runoff of GM Bt corn into streams can kill the "caddis fly," which may seriously upset marine ecosystems. The study set off a storm of attacks against its author, ecologist Emma Rosi-Marshall, which Nature described in a September 2009 article as a "hail of abuse."
Nothing to Hide?
When Ohio State University plant ecologist Allison Snow discovered problematic side effects in GM sunflowers, Pioneer Hi-Bred International and Dow AgroSciences blocked further research by withholding GM seeds and genes. After Marc Lappé and Britt Bailey found significant reductions in cancer-fighting isoflavones in Monsanto’s GM soybeans, the seed seller, Hartz, told them they could no longer provide samples. Research by a plant geneticist at a leading US university was also thwarted when two companies refused him GM corn. In fact, almost no independent studies are conducted that might find problems. According to a scathing opinion piece in an August 2009 Scientific American,

"Agritech companies have given themselves veto power over the work of independent researchers. . . . Only studies that the seed companies have approved ever see the light of a peer-reviewed journal."

Restricted access is not limited to the US. When a Japanese scientist wanted to conduct animal feeding studies on the GM soybeans under review in Japan, both the government and the bean’s maker DuPont refused to give him any samples. Hungarian Professor Bela Darvas discovered that Monsanto’s GM corn hurt endangered species in his country. Monsanto immediately shut off his supplies. Dr. Darvas later gave a speech on his preliminary findings and discovered that a false and incriminating report about his research was circulating. He traced it to a Monsanto public relations employee, who claimed it mysteriously appeared on her desk – so she faxed it out.
Why is Science and Debate Being Silenced?
The attacks on scientists have taken its toll. There appears to be a de facto ban on scientists asking certain questions and finding certain results.
New Zealand Parliament member Sue Kedgley told a Royal Commission in 2001:

"Personally I have been contacted by telephone and e-mail by a number of scientists who have serious concerns about aspects of the research that is taking place . . . and the increasingly close ties that are developing between science and commerce, but who are convinced that if they express these fears publicly, … or even if they asked the awkward and difficult questions, they will be eased out of their institution."

University of Minnesota biologist Phil Regal testified before the same Commission, "I think the people who boost genetic engineering are going to have to do a mea culpa and ask for forgiveness, like the Pope did on the inquisition." Sue Kedgley has a different idea. She recommends we "set up human clinical trials using volunteers of genetic engineering scientists and their families, because I think they are so convinced of the safety of their products, I’m sure they would very readily volunteer to become part of a human clinical trial."
Failing that, are you willing to continue your participation?

Food & Water Europe
Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:24 EST

Statement of Food & Water Europe Executive Director Wenonah Hauter
Brussels – “We welcome the Woodruff County, Arkansas court finding that German corporation Bayer CropScience ‘intentionally’ contaminated US rice supplies. We applaud the decision requiring the company to pay Lennie Joe Kyle, the farmer who suffered losses when his rice was contaminated with Bayer’s genetically modified (GM) product, a total of US$1.3 million. This amount includes the first punitive damages for loss of future earnings ever awarded against Bayer.”
“The case is one of a raft of hundreds of cases stemming from the 2006 contamination of US rice supplies with Bayer’s experimental GM LL601 rice – an incident which continues to undermine US exports years later. The company has already been ordered by federal courts to pay four other farmers a total of US$3.5 million.”
“While we are pleased to see the courts step in to protect farmers and consumers when regulatory bodies fail, it is a pity that farmers have to go to these lengths to get satisfaction for their losses. As Mr. Kyle said, ‘It’s a lot to do with the way the big companies act. They think the farmer is just going to tuck his tail and take it, but we’re not going to anymore.’”
“GM is clearly an unpredictable technology that has proved both difficult to contain and damaging when it escapes. It is simply not necessary to take these chances with the safety of our food supply or the viability of our farms. It is important to see Bayer being held accountable for the damage they have done. Hopefully the court decision will act as a warning to other GM companies.”
Additional Information about Food & Water Europe
Food & Water Europe is a program of Food & Water Watch, Inc., a non-profit consumer NGO based in Washington, DC, working to ensure clean water and safe food in Europe and around the world. We challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources by empowering people to take action and transforming the public consciousness about what we eat and drink.

The recent apparent demise of Senator McCain’s bill, S.3002, which was designed to kill access to high potency supplements, was trumpeted in the health freedom world as a triumph.  We urged caution, saying that while Senator McCain’s abandoning his own bill sounded good, we were quite certain that the dangerous provisions of the bill would be incorporated into Senator Harkin’s S. 510, a genuine food fascism bill.  Many said, as they usually do, that we were alarmist and had missed the point of this triumph.

Well, unfortunately, the Natural Solutions Foundation was on target again.  Earlier today a letter was released from Senators McCain and Dorgan, sponsors of DSSA (that’s pronounced "DISS-sa" as in "disappoints") the so-called "Dietary Supplement Safety Act" S.3002. This letter to Senators Harkin and Hatch confirmed in writing what had been rumored for a few days: they were abandoning their ill-considered bill to gut the law that protects Americans’ access to high potency nutrients, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). That law was adopted by a unanimous Congress responding to strong pressure from the Health Freedom Movement. The McCain/Dorgan bill has just died due to very powerful PUSH BACK from a more mature and even more effective Health Freedom Movement, led by over 390,000 emails to the Senate and decision makers through Health Freedom USA’s Action Item.  Sounds like a triumph for the pro health freedom forcers, right?

But this battle for the survival of high potency nutrients is not over yet. The letter asks Harkin and Hatch to import some of the worst provisions of S.3002 into another pending fake "safety" bill, S.510… literally imposing the Codex Alimentarius "approved dietary supplement list" instead of the consumer’s right to choose, protected in current law.  Remember, the United States is the ONLY high potency nutrient country in the world.  The globalizing forces have long had their eyes set on the destruction of this legally granted freedom to choose high potency nutrients, each of which cuts into the huge profitability of Big Pharma products.  Each of these dangerous bills is designed to control more and more of your freedoms around food and supplements and, finally, control them out of existence.

This battle is between your freedom to control your own body and how you use it and those who take all such freedom from you.  It is, truly, the "Mother of all Battles" wth regard to supplements and other dietary strategies to be well or get that way.

Push Back Is Working!

Push Back Turns to Take Down: India bans Food Crop GMOs!

India has had enough of GMO contamination.  Suiciding farmers by the dozens of thousands and the lack of real science showing that GMO foods are safe (plus the science showing that they are not safe) are enough for India .  Watch this brief video and then ask yourself why we cannot dfo at least as well.

FDA Creates an Ear Candle Ban!

Natural Solutions Foundation Action Item Says, "Back Off, FDA!”

Tell the FDA to BACK OFF! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2521

Have you ever tried an Ear Candle?  It is a pleasant experience and some say a curative one.  Be that as it may, this relaxation tool is one of the many choices that you might want to make to follow a healthy and natural health path.  But the FDA has decided that NOW is the time to ban them in the total absence of any substantiation of any kind. Make no mistake: this is not about cones of wax through which you might relax your body.  The battle is about your freedom to make your choices your way today, tomorrow and the next day.  This is the same battle as the one that is being waged in the Senate against your right to choose nutrients for your health and the one against your access to clean, healthy food. Today it is Ear Candles.  Tomorrow it could be a massage tool or a herbal nutrient or tomatoes you grow in your own back yard, corn without GMO genes, etc. 

The next day?  Who knows?  Only the globalists and their minions.

Consider: the FDA has decided to ban Ear Candles. No one has ever died from ear candles.  There are 5 adverse event reports about Ear Candles.

Meanwhile the FDA routinely approves dangerous drugs that kill over 150,000 Americans annually, when properly prescribed.  five adverse event reports in ten years are apparently sufficient to deny adults their right to engage in this traditional relaxation technique. We say "NO!" to yet more Nanny State interference in our private lives!

Natural Solutions Foundation is entering a Citizens Peititon, which is a law suit against the FDA, for taking this draconian and irrational step.

You probably know that the Natural Solutions Foundation has created an innovative and very important porject to reclaim the production of food world-wide and establish a community around that activity which will include all of the natural aspects of a healthy community.  One of those aspects is a health service system with a facility called the Natural Solutions Center. 

Three days a week, we will hold seminars at the facility.  The other four days a week we will practice natural health care for local, ex pat, national and international people who want to experience, learn or teach, these health care techniques.  What will we do there?

Cognitive Enhancement… It’s Mind Control, All Right: You Control Your Own Mind!

General Bert and I continue experiencing extraordinary results with our Cognitive Enhancement Pack (me) and Senior Cognitive Enhancement Pack (Gen. Bert) which are literally astonishing. Last week we made a quick trip to the Northwest to speak to several thousand people, and the feedback we’ve received is that we were "on top of the game" and held the attention of all those present. That takes focus, attention and acuity… and that’s the benefit of Cognitive Enhancement!
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4558 or www.DrRima.net
I know supplementation and neurological enhancement very, very well. I have never seen (or experienced) anything like this. You know how busy we are; how much we rely on our ability to multitask and react quickly to challenges…
The name says it all: COGNITIVE. ENHANCEMENT.
That’s the story, in two words.
Here are the other two words to the story: Try Them!

Remember, the EPA and FDA are, in a separate action, trying to take nano and colloidal silver off the market, just as the European Food Supplements Directive has succeeded in doing there as of January 1, 2010.  The goal is to "HARMonzie" our freedoms with their restrictions. They have succeeded totally in Europe. Silver for health is now an illegal substance there.
Why? Because silver is the universal antibiotic and would destroy a vast pharmaceutical market (over used in both animals and people and very, very dangerous!) if enough people knew about it. After investigation, I personally recommend the Silver Biotics nano silver available at: www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions

Urgently Important: Health Freedom Action eAlert Action Items –
Health Freedom Movement turning "Push Back" into "Take Down" – And Natural Solutions Foundation is Leading the Way, As Always! And after taking the Action Items below once for every member of your household, please send this email to every person you can reach asking them to take action and then pass it on in the same way.  After all, everyone eats so this is everyone’s battle. We’re making this issue "go viral":  that’s how we turn "Push Back" into "Take Down!"
We are pleased to report that a number of health freedom groups who are, generally, so fragmented and ineffective that they trip all over each other, are once again taking their cue from our Action Items and offering a Citizens Petition for Health Freedom. We say: "Good for them! And Good for us all!"  We believe that the Globalist agenda must die the "death of the thousand cuts" and that every opposition to it is one of those cuts. Therefore, in addtion to taking our Food and Supplement Freedom Action Item,

Our urgent call to Ban ALL GMOs immediately,
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
We urge you to also take this new Action Item  to sign the Health Revolution Petition, created by other members of the Health Freedom world.  The more voices, the bigger the swell –

And for any of our supporters who are involved in the Tea Party, we’ve started a new forum on the Tea Party ning.com web site. We’d appreciate your comments on the forum, since an active forum will be noticed by others and we hope to show the Tea Party that "Health Freedom is Our First Freedom" since without it, our other freedoms cannot be enjoyed. so, just as we engaged with Change.org during the transition between presidential administrations, we seek to open a dialogue with these people too.

What do you call it when Robert Wanek, a high school student, is physically assaulted by a teacher, and then suspended by his school for handing out literature about vaccine hazards when his school is holding a free vaccine clinic?  Fascism?  Police State?  Tyranny?  Oppression? I say,  "All of the above".  The other side is weak enough so that they respond in irrational fear and oppression when legitimate challenges to their propaganda and distortions.  Thank you, Robert!

How do you turn Push Back into Take Down? You bring millions of people together. How do you do that? One person at a time! The following is a short – and very important – video on Leadership: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ&feature=player_embedded
If you need a reminder of why Sen. McCain’s S. 3002 (or its replacement, S.510)  is such a good ploy to get nutrient restrictions matching Codex into the US, watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30Itrfhn8o
and recall that these Nutrient Reference Values are supposed to tell consumers what they need of a particular nutrient on labels first and then they will become the maximum permissible upper level. How low are they?  Low enough to mandate under nutrition which guarantees increased chronic, deadly degenerative diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity just as we have been warning was the next step since 2005.
But just exactly what is Codex?  How does it work and what are its vulnerabilities?  Watch "Rome Codex Deconstruction"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyo_VjJSVFo
And where did it come from?  If you have not yet seen the video "Nutricide", now would be a good time to learn where the genocidal Codex program came from.  Hint: "From convicted genocidalists, of course!)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634&ei=WxiTS5-cDpK8qgKFzrzbAg&q=nutricide
You can purchase your own copy here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1192, along with the Codex eBook.
Brain in a whirl? Does it feel like it is all too much?  Is age taking a toll on your memory or that of someone you care about?

You must watch Gen Bert and Dr Rima on "Cognitive Enhancement"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FL3SKYVEwE
Then try these amazing products. I personally KNOW how amazing they are.  You may find that you are amazed after trying them. Find them at www.DrRima.net.

Good News from Eco Demonstration Project

And one more thing: The Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, is all about reclaiming the production of clean, unadulterated food on a global basis. We chose Panama for a multitude of reasons, including its political stability, its social stability and its financial stability.  There is a wide spread interest in clean, unadulterated food here, among both the English speaking and the Spanish speaking communities. The diversity of growing eco niches and micro climates means that the growing conditions of most of the world are represented here, making farm classrooms meaningful for teaching farmers from all over the world how to grow food without dangerous chemicals.  For example, take our Valley of the Moon Coffee.  Please. Once you do, you will be brewing yourself a cup of what coffee experts tell us is the finest coffee they have ever tasted, free from GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or any other "cides".  Shouldn’t health freedom have its own Friendly Food Certified Coffee, friendly to the workers, the environment and you, the consumer? We think so!  And shouldn’t you know about it, drink it and give it as a special gift? http://www.ValleyfotheMoonCoffee.org

Eco Project Update – Read More here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4798
Is Your IRA Safe from
US Government Confiscation?
Certainly NOT!

But there is another reason for talking about the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project right now.  And that is money.  You see, the US Government has announced that it is accepting comments on taking your IRA and 401 retirement funds and converting them to fixed income annuities with a 3% yield "guaranteed" by the failing, flailing US Treasury. Middle-class Americans’ last asset base [since the equity in our homes is gone] will be raided like the Social Security "Trust Fund" has been raided… to fund more government waste!
The Natural Solutions Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Panama Natural Solutions Foundation, is a legitimate offshore investment vehicle for those funds (and any others you might want to have offshore, such as personal funds, trust funds, family investment funds, church or other nonprofit funds).  Offshore investment is an option which will not, we believe, be available much longer now that the US economy has been gutted and the last pool of what passes for real money, your retirement funds, is about to be stolen out of your future.
In addition to producing Health Freedom’s Own Coffee, the wonderful, smooth and delightful Valley of the Moon Coffee, we are also entering the process of generating our own BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic food for our use and for the use of our customers here in Panama and elsewhere. We are nearing completion of our Natural Solutions Center (with its wellness and seminar programs): we’ll let you know about our Grand Opening Celebration and our Seminar Schedule as soon as we have firm dates!  Meanwhile, I can tell you that I feel much better having invested my own IRA offshore in a project with such a strong future.
If you are interested in any of our many types of participation in changing the face of food and freedom around the world, and living in a sustainable community with like minded people, you are invited to check out –

FDA Creates an Ear Candle Ban!

Make no mistake: this is not about cones of wax through which you might relax your body.  The battle is about your freedom to make your choices your way today, tomorrow and the next day.  This is the same battle as the one that is being waged in the Senate against your right to choose nutrients for your health and the one against your access to clean, healthy food.

If you want a personal consultation with her, just fill in the on-line questionaire, http://www.luceleaf.com/DrRimaNet/DRN-Quest.php,  and you’ll be on your way to a private medical conversation with Dr. Rima!
The latest news on the Health Freedom front is that FDA has ordered the traditional relaxation remedy Ear Candles off the market! This was done several days ago by determination letters issued, claiming this simple relaxing method is a "medical device!" Check the Dr. Rima Network over the next few days… we will be adding Ear Candles, Natural Solutions Ear Candles, to what you can find on the site!

You probably know that the Natural Solutions Foundation has created an innovative and very important porject to reclaim the production of food world-wide and establish a community around that activity which will include all of the natural aspects of a healthy community.  One of those aspects is a health service system with a facility called the Natural Solutions Center. 

Three days a week, we will hold seminars at the facility.  The other four days a week we will practice natural health care for local, ex pat, national and international people who want to experience, learn or teach, these health care techniques.  What will we do there?

Please take a few moments to look at our Outline for TherapeuticProtocol for services, http://www.luceleaf.com/DrRimaNet/DRN-Protocol.php at Dr. Rima’s Natural Solutions Center in Chiriqui, Panama. www.DrRima.net

You might also want to think about how you would like to use the services of the Natural Solutions Center and contact us for more information: dr.laibow@gmail.com

This is what we call Push Back with Your Dollars!

Cognitive Enhancement… It’s Mind Control, All Right: You Control Your Own Mind!

General Bert and I continue experiencing extraordinary results with our Cognitive Enhancement Pack (me) and Senior Cognitive Enhancement Pack (Gen. Bert) which are literally astonishing. Last week we made a quick trip to the Northwest to speak to several thousand people, and the feedback we’ve received is that we were "on top of the game" and held the attention of all those present. That takes focus, attention and acuity… and that’s the benefit of Cognitive Enhancement!
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4558 or www.DrRima.net
I know supplementation and neurological enhancement very, very well. I have never seen (or experienced) anything like this. You know how busy we are; how much we rely on our ability to multitask and react quickly to challenges…
The name says it all: COGNITIVE. ENHANCEMENT.
That’s the story, in two words.
Here are the other two words to the story: Try Them!

Remember, the EPA and FDA are, in a separate action, trying to take nano and colloidal silver off the market, just as the European Food Supplements Directive has succeeded in doing there as of January 1, 2010.  The goal is to "HARMonzie" our freedoms with their restrictions. They have succeeded totally in Europe. Silver for health is now an illegal substance there.
Why? Because silver is the universal antibiotic and would destroy a vast pharmaceutical market (over used in both animals and people and very, very dangerous!) if enough people knew about it. After investigation, I personally recommend the Silver Biotics nano silver available at: www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions

Urgently Important: Health Freedom Action eAlert Action Items –
Health Freedom Movement turning "Push Back" into "Take Down" – And Natural Solutions Foundation is Leading the Way, As Always! And after taking the Action Items below once for every member of your household, please send this email to every person you can reach asking them to take action and then pass it on in the same way.  After all, everyone eats so this is everyone’s battle. We’re making this issue "go viral":  that’s how we turn "Push Back" into "Take Down!"
We are pleased to report that a number of health freedom groups who are, generally, so fragmented and ineffective that they trip all over each other, are once again taking their cue from our Action Items and offering a Citizens Petition for Health Freedom. We say: "Good for them! And Good for us all!"  We believe that the Globalist agenda must die the "death of the thousand cuts" and that every opposition to it is one of those cuts. Therefore, in addtion to taking our Food and Supplement Freedom Action Item,
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Our new Ear Candle Petition to the FDA:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2521
Our urgent call to Ban ALL GMOs immediately,
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
We urge you to also take this new Action Item  to sign the Health Revolution Petition, created by other members of the Health Freedom world.  The more voices, the bigger the swell –
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2352
And for any of our supporters who are involved in the Tea Party, we’ve started a new forum on the Tea Party ning.com web site. We’d appreciate your comments on the forum, since an active forum will be noticed by others and we hope to show the Tea Party that "Health Freedom is Our First Freedom" since without it, our other freedoms cannot be enjoyed. so, just as we engaged with Change.org during the transition between presidential administrations, we seek to open a dialogue with these people too.

What do you call it when Robert Wanek, a high school student, is physically assaulted by a teacher, and then suspended by his school for handing out literature about vaccine hazzards when his school is holding a free vaccine clinic?  Fascism?  Police State?  Tyranny?  Oppression? I say,  "All of the above".  The other side is weak enough so that they respond in irationale fear and oppression when letitimate challenges to their propaganda and distortions.  Thank you, Robert!

How do you turn Push Back into Take Down? You bring millions of people together. How do you do that? One person at a time! The following is a short – and very important – video on Leadership: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ&feature=player_embedded
If you need a reminder of why Sen. McCain’s S. 3002 (or its replacement, S.510)  is such a good ploy to get nutrient restrictions matching Codex into the US, watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30Itrfhn8o
and recall that these Nutrient Reference Values are supposed to tell consumers what they need of a particular nutrient on labels first and then they will become the maximum permissible upper level. How low are they?  Low enough to mandate under nutrition which guarantees increased chronic, deadly degenerative diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity just as we have been warning was the next step since 2005.
But just exactly what is Codex?  How does it work and what are its vulnerabilities?  Watch "Rome Codex Deconstruction"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyo_VjJSVFo
And where did it come from?  If you have not yet seen the video "Nutricide", now would be a good time to learn where the genocidal Codex program came from.  Hint: "From convicted genocidalists, of course!)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634&ei=WxiTS5-cDpK8qgKFzrzbAg&q=nutricide
You can purchase your own copy here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1192, along with the Codex eBook.
Brain in a whirl? Does it feel like it is all too much?  Is age taking a toll on your memory or that of someone you care about?

You must watch Gen Bert and Dr Rima on "Cognitive Enhancement"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FL3SKYVEwE
Then try these amazing products. I personally KNOW how amazing they are.  You may find that you are amazed after trying them. Find them at www.DrRima.net.

Good News from Eco Demonstration Project

And one more thing: The Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, is all about reclaiming the production of clean, unadulterated food on a global basis. We chose Panama for a multitude of reasons, including its political stability, its social stability and its financial stability.  There is a wide spread interest in clean, unadulterated food here, among both the English speaking and the Spanish speaking communities. The diversity of growing eco niches and micro climates means that the growing conditions of most of the world are represented here, making farm classrooms meaningful for teaching farmers from all over the world how to grow food without dangerous chemicals.  For example, take our Valley of the Moon Coffee.  Please. Once you do, you will be brewing yourself a cup of what coffee experts tell us is the finest coffee they have ever tasted, free from GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or any other "cides".  Shouldn’t health freedom have its own Friendly Food Certified Coffee, friendly to the workers, the environment and you, the consumer? We think so!  And shouldn’t you know about it, drink it and give it as a special gift? http://www.ValleyfotheMoonCoffee.org

Eco Project Update – Read More here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4798
Is Your IRA Safe from
US Government Confiscation?
Certainly NOT!

But there is another reason for talking about the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project right now.  And that is money.  You see, the US Government has announced that it is accepting comments on taking your IRA and 401 retirement funds and converting them to fixed income annuities with a 3% yield "guaranteed" by the failing, flailing US Treasury. Middle-class Americans’ last asset base [since the equity in our homes is gone] will be raided like the Social Security "Trust Fund" has been raided… to fund more government waste!
The Natural Solutions Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Panama Natural Solutions Foundation, is a legitimate offshore investment vehicle for those funds (and any others you might want to have offshore, such as personal funds, trust funds, family investment funds, church or other nonprofit funds).  Offshore investment is an option which will not, we believe, be available much longer now that the US economy has been gutted and the last pool of what passes for real money, your retirement funds, is about to be stolen out of your future.
In addition to producing Health Freedom’s Own Coffee, the wonderful, smooth and delightful Valley of the Moon Coffee, we are also entering the process of generating our own BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic food for our use and for the use of our customers here in Panama and elsewhere. We are nearing completion of our Natural Solutions Center (with its wellness and seminar programs): we’ll let you know about our Grand Opening Celebration and our Seminar Schedule as soon as we have firm dates!  Meanwhile, I can tell you that I feel much better having invested my own IRA offshore in a project with such a strong future.
If you are interested in any of our many types of participation in changing the face of food and freedom around the world, and living in a sustainable community with like minded people, you are invited to check out –
