A few days ago I came across an interesting article in a British newspaper, The Daily Mail where they were telling people to drink full fat milk instead of the processed skimmed alternatives. I didn't think that I would ever hear them say that..... And also, believe it or not, telling the readers that after all VCO is not bad for you. Now, you should know that VCO is hardly available anymore because of all the scary stories. In France a big supermarket even tried to get more costumers by telling them that they had banned palm oil from all their frozen and processed food. Once I had an interesting conversation with a lady who owned a franchise of that supermarket, asked her what she thought about all the war being waged against VCO and palm oil and she looked at me in shock because, although she owns the franchise, she had never come across all the publicity her own supermarket made against saturated fats. She told me that she was fully aware of how healthy they are! Another article was about trans-fats and the fact that it is now knows that they are terrible for the heart but also for the brain and maybe one of the causes of the obesity epidemic as the brain doesn't know anymore when to tell you to stop eating. But.... Are they going to do anything to ban them? I don't think so! It seems that here in Switzerland trans-fats are now allowed, at least not in restaurants, no idea whether they are allowed in the food sold in supermarkets. But then MSM is not allowed here either, neither is Melatonin! Still... little by little things seem to be changing! Let's see......

There is a previously unknown micro-fungal-like organism with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It is able to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. It is found in high concentrations in Roundup Ready soybean meal and corn, distillers meal, fermentation feed products, pig stomach contents, and pig and cattle placentas. This is a threat 'not only' to crop animal production, but to human health as well. In Argentina and Paraguay, doctors and residents living in GM soy producing areas have reported serious health effects from glyphosate spraying, including high rates of birth defects as well as infertility, stillbirths, miscarriages, and cancers. It is urgent to examine whether the side-effects of glyphosate use may have facilitated the growth of this pathogen, or allowed it to cause greater harm to 'weakened' plant and animal hosts. It is well-documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40 plant diseases. NOTE: Glyphosate dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; reducing the bioavailability of nutrients in feed; which in turn - weakens and causes animal disorders... Bringing to mind "you are what you eat." It's also reported that Roundup adjuvants bond with DNA - linking it to outbreaks of plant disease and implicating it with animal reproductive failure, which may explain the escalating frequency of infertility and spontaneous abortions over the past few years in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horse operations. These include recent reports of infertility rates in dairy heifers of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%. Dr. Don M Huber, Emeritus Professor Purdue University, APS Coordinator, USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System (NPDRS) had expressed dire warnings to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on January 27. But to no avail... Vilsack gave blanket approval to all genetically modified alfalfa. And following orders from President Obama, he also removed buffer zone requirements. This was seen as a deliberate move to contaminate natural crops and destroy the organic meat and dairy industry which relies on GM-free alfalfa. Such genetic contamination will give the biotech industry complete control over the nation's fourth largest crop. Criminally immoral and irresponsible, Monsanto and other biotech firms vociferously block independent research. They coerce or bribe representatives, governments and regulatory agencies, even globally, with little or no regard to the environment or human life. Tom Laskawy at Grist estimated that in 2008, nearly 200 million pounds of glyphosate was poured onto US soils. But notes that "exact figures are a closely guarded secret thanks to the USDA's refusal to update its pesticide-use database after 2007. "... a figure that more than doubles what the EPA estimates was used in 2000.

Magnesium Stearate is one. Dr. Ray Sahelian, one of the most conservative of the experts in nutritional science, wrote a rather passionate review of the potential side effects of magnesium stearate, citing some case studies. He finds that the fear that has been provoked about it is overwrought, and that people should be more concerned about over indulgence in the vitamin itself, as that could be more problematic. Magnesium Stearate components are found in nature; stearic acid is found in many of our foods, as is magnesium.

Despite all the evidence and research to the contrary, our mandated to protect... FDA is about as inept and corrupt and useless as our EPA. The US consumer is being poisoned by nearly every longer shelf life at any cost, especially the health prospects of our customers. Targeted are children and hispanics most recently as Walgreens, Little Debbie, Hostess, Safeway, Entemens, Franz, Kroeger, Albertsons, QFC, Fred Meyer, Jewell, almost every flour tortilla producer, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Duncan Hines and more are adding aluminum compounds to your favorite snacks mixes and treats, Their in store bakery items are also very often tainted. I wish we Americans were not so complacent and/or ignorant. Bad enough the EPA allows toxic levels of aluminum in municipal water supplies, bad enough that useless filters such as PUR and Brita which do not remove any aluminum from the water don't have to alert the consumer, bad enough that our corrupt leadership fumbles about as if the medical research folk don't know the cause of scores of disease, organ failure, cancers, while if they would read they'd find studies linking aluminum to almost all of them, including Alzheimers, osteoporosis, autism, any number of skeletal and nervous system maladies (that includes the various functions of the brain, folks), and because it can invade and corrupt the DNA is thought to cause birth defects, learning/growth disorders and on and on and our faulty leaders have given the aluminum consortium a green light and thumbs up to the toxic nightmare. Oh, you might like to know that injectable vitamin B12, which is supposed to do you good and is prescribed by so many well meaning medical folks, contains aluminum as a preservative. Ain't that a peach? If you have concerns and wish to emit a primal scream, my email is madhatter08(at)comcast.net and I, sadly was the victim of aluminum poisoning via B12 injections. I am now terminal with numerous health issues. My leg went numb where they gave me the injections and they misdiagnosed me with MS before, purely by accident, it was discovered the B12 was toxic.

Therefore their arguments about the ineffectiveness of all alternative therapies and herbals by pharma research directly contradicts the plain facts. But where pharma research really falls down is in their ultimate requirement or need for "inventing" new chemicals in order to patent them -- for which they can charge whatever they please -- then there is no worry about any competition. They will discover a plant extract that cures whatever, then they must invent a synthetic, patentable version otherwise they are simply not interested. DCA -- Dichloroacetic acid (a fairly simple base chemical) has recently shown to be very effective against cancer in Dutch and Norwegian research studies last year. DCA has already been passed as safe for use in genetically induced lactic acidosis as a remedy. So the pharma companies were in a tough corner -- they could not trash DCA's usefulness or safety because this drug had already been passed by the FDA but this discovery could nonetheless ruin pharma's highly profitable "cancer industry". So they just came out with it and said nope, we're not interested because we can't patent DCA. So this chemical will never even be considered or adopted by the pharmaceutical companies or the medical profession as a cancer cure for reasons that are entirely for profit. What other reason can there be? In fact nobody ever questions what the term autoimmune really means. The medical/pharma research definition is ailments caused when the body's immune system turns and attacks the body tissues, organs or glands in some way. Pharma research blandly and somewhat conveniently assures us that this is because antibodies are detected in these areas. But is the body really that stupid? The medical research profession will never admit -- in their autoimmune definition -- that antibodies will also actively come on site and remove cells if and whenever there is free-radical damage to the cells or whenever there is damage caused by viruses and bacteria. But the medical research profession will never admit to these as other possible reasons for autoimmune disease. Ted from Bangkok has been saying all along, for instance, that autoimmune arthritis is caused by mycoplasma and associated bacteria. The efficacy of his cures using borax, magnesium chloride and Hydrogen Peroxide etc are simple testimony to the fact that he must be right because the arthritis disappears with few side-effects. My own considered and revised pharma definition of an autoimmune disease is simply a disease that is incurable by medical research because they haven't got a bloody clue. So, after a 100 years of Germ Theory and drugs, where are the outright cures from pharma drugs for these autoimmune diseases? They simply don't exist. Pharma research's inability to cure autoimmune diseases also leads us to another possibility. Here we must consider the pharma industry's Business Model. From purely a ruthless business perspective and for profit point of view therefore, what would make more sense -- to invent outright cures for autoimmune diseases where you take the drugs only for a couple of weeks or months or simply to invent glorified and expensive anti-inflammatory and pain-killing drugs with horrific side-effects(for which you take even more drugs) that patients will have to take for the rest of their lives -- that don't cure anything? The latter business model would seem to make far more money for the pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders wouldn't it? Just some very frustrated thoughts.

One thing to think about as well is tobacco, although a known killer for those who smoke it and those who are around them it is tolerated albeit with some nasty messages on the packets but herbal supplements, many of them harmless, even if some won't do anything for you, are about to be forbidden!
