Essiac: A formula to fight cancer and other chronic disease conditions

Since the 1970′s when the war on cancer formally began cancer rates have steadily increased. In the past decade modern medicine has heralded the increase in survival rates owing to breakthrough scientific research instead of admitting it was a change in the definition…

FBI’s new definition of rape ensnares TSA agents as serial rapists

(NaturalNews) The definition of “rape” was expanded this week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Criminal Justice Advisory Policy Board , following a barrage of emails from feminist activists who demanded change. The old definition was too narrow, many women argued, and needed to be updated. For one thing, it didn’t cover rape by women against women, or men against men, and we’ve all seen just how much of that goes on these days thanks to organizations like Penn State and the Catholic Church. So in October, the FBI’s UCR subcommittee Advisory Policy Board voted to recommend the definition be expanded. The new definition of rape, which looks set to be “officially” adopted by the FBI in 2012, is as follows: “Rape” is: …penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. ” FBI’s definition ensnares TSA agents as serial rapists Here’s the kicker in all this: According to this definition of rape, the federal government’s TSA agents are serial rapists. That’s because, in the course of carrying out their lewd, improper and entirely illegal strip-searches and “enhanced pat-downs,” they are engaged in precisely the acts covered in the FBI’s definition of rape. Namely, entering the vagina and anus with their fingers without consent of the victim . This means the next time you are fingered by a TSA agent in an airport you should seriously call the FBI and report a sex crime . In fact, it is illegal for you to not report a sex offender committing a crime of which you are directly aware. Failure to do so could make you an accomplice in that person’s next sex crime, legally speaking. Is the TSA really committing these sex crimes in America today? Yes, absolutely. Gov. Jesse Ventura’s lawsuit against the TSA goes into great detail about precisely these kinds of violation. Here’s another story about a woman who was sexually molested by the TSA: http://www.theagitator.com/2011/09/07/were-going-to-molest-you-and-then-were-going-to-make-you-pay-for-it/ Former Miss USA was also technically molested by the TSA: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/04/28/beauty-queen-tsa-agent-touched-my-vagina/ And now three elderly women have stepped forward and claimed they were forced to remove their underwear and strip-searched by TSA agents at JFK (http://www.naturalnews.com/034323_National_Organization_for_Women_TSA_illegal_searches.html). Countless women are being raped every single day by the TSA , and most are too shamed by the incident (or intimidated by TSA thugs) to step forward. What we’re looking at here is government-sanctioned sex offenders who are feeling up our children, teenage daughters, wives, mothers and grandmothers, routinely raping them , and then getting away with it day after day! And, astonishingly, there are only a handful of alternative media people who seem to care about this, with myself being one of the most outspoken. What I have learned in all this is that feminist groups don’t care if their women get raped by government agents because they don’t say a word against it. Where are women’s’ organizations in taking a stand against serial rapists working at the airport? In recent protests about expanding the definition of rape, one woman held up a sign that read, “TAKE RAPE SERIOUSLY.” Except, not if the government is raping people, apparently. Because when the government rapes women in plain daylight, women’s groups remain eerily silent and don’t take it seriously at all. In a recent article, I called out the National Organization for Women (NOW) for its total silence on the issue of government TSA agents molesting and physically abusing women at airports (http://www.naturalnews.com/034323_National_Organization_for_Women_TSA_illegal_searches.html). Why is rape wrong in the workplace, but rape is totally acceptable at the airport as long as it’s carried out by a government agent? One of the activist groups behind the FBI’s recent expansion of rape is the Feminist Majority Foundation . They have a campaign called “RAPE IS RAPE” and their protesters march the streets holding up signs that say things like “STOP VIOLENCE!” See photos at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2070956/Womens-rights-advocates-hail-FBIs-new-definition-rape.html?ito=feeds-newsxml But where is the Feminist Majority Foundation on the issue of the TSA raping women all across America? Dead silence… So I guess rape isn’t rape then, is it? Not if you’re working for the TSA, it isn’t, apparently. And “STOP VIOLENCE” actually means “…except if the government is committing that violence against women,” in which case all these feminist groups seem to be perfectly okay with it. Feminist.org caught hosting job listings for TSA serial rapists In fact, the Feminist.org website even hosts a job listing for a TSA security directory at the L.A. airport! Listed under “feminist jobs and internships” and touting a tag line in the header that reads, “Equality around the world,” this job listing promises that “your success is critical to national security” and says you’ll make up to $172,000 a year (http://feminist.org/911/jobs/jobdescription.asp?jobID=26864). But what it doesn’t say is that part of your job involves leading a team of serial rapists who physically and psychologically abuse women on a day-to-day basis while getting paid inflated government wages to do so. And this is woman-on-woman rape , so it’s really feminists raping other women! How sick can this get? So feminist.org is apparently not opposed to the TSA raping women every single day in America, and it’s actively helping the TSA recruit more feminist women who will then rape other women! Is that the new feminism in America? I hope not… NaturalNews challenges Feminist.org and NOW to denounce the TSA serial raping of women As the editor of NaturalNews.com, I personally challenge these two women’s organizations to publicly denounce the TSA serial raping of women , as defined by the FBI. If these two organizations will not publicly denounce the ongoing raping of women in America, they are total frauds who are betraying the very women whose rights and “equality” they claim to be fighting form. Maybe by “equality” they just mean that all women are equally raped at the airport or something similarly perverted… Here at NaturalNews, we believe rape is wrong , and unlike NOW and Feminist.org, we don’t make exceptions for federal employees committing those acts of rape. We think rape is ALWAYS wrong, whether you’re at an airport, a restaurant, a dental chair or a late-night party where you had a little too much to drink or your sex offender creep boyfriend dropped a little Rohypnol in your cup. It is stunning to find that we, an alternative news organization, actually possess a stronger sense of opposing rape than these feminist groups. And it makes you wonder: If they believe rape is acceptable when committed by federal employees at the airport, under what other conditions would they also support the serial raping of women? When is it okay to rape women? When you work for the government! (Sick!) If they already believe it’s okay for federal employees to rape women, would they also say it’s okay for local law enforcement officers to rape women, too? Or is this just a federal right or some sort? Or how about dentists? Can dentists rape women after giving them a little too much anesthesia? Or is that not okay? Somebody clarify this for me, please, because I’m finding all sorts of inconsistencies with the “RAPE IS RAPE… but not always” explanations of these feminist groups. Oh, or maybe I’m just too stupid to figure this out. I see. I’m not “smart” enough to know that when TSA agents stick their fingers inside your anus and vagina, against your will, somehow that’s NOT rape. Okay, wow. So I must be really stupid or something because I thought rape was always rape. I thought NO meant NO . Maybe I’m just not “trendy” and “metrosexual” enough to stay up with the latest fads, I guess. Maybe the feminists today are actually advocating being raped by government agents and nobody told me about that trend, so here I am like an idiot fighting against the raping of American women when nobody gave me the memo that reads, “Rape is now socially acceptable as long as the rapist claims to be fighting terrorism.” Well then, if rape is okay now then I suppose if a TSA agent carries a badge to a night club, then he can rape all the women he wants there, right? Because government agents are allowed to rape at will, right? All they have to do is claim they’re “fighting terrorism” while they rip your underwear off, right? That’s what they do to 88-year old women at JFK. Oh wait, maybe you mean they’re only allowed to rape women at the airport , not at night clubs or bars. Ah, I get it. So now airports are legalized rape zones , and that’s why it’s okay to rape women there, then, right? Am I getting this yet? This sounds really complicated, because I thought rape was rape, no meant no, and I had no idea airports were “legalized rape zones.” Maybe they should put up a sign to indicate that, huh? Silly me. All this time I’ve been operating from the apparently whacko belief that your vagina or your anus was your own private business and that nobody had the right to violate your body without your express consent. I guess I’m just not up to speed on the latest feminist philosophy, which defends the “administrative right” of government agents to commit serial sex offender crimes at will as long as such crimes are committed at airport security checkpoints in the name of “national security.” Hitler would have been proud. Yet even though Hitler’s soldiers gassed Jewish women by the millions, even they didn’t rape them first! For that level of psychopathic perverted sickness, you gotta come to the USA, folks. No wonder tourism in the USA has plummeted to record lows. Maybe tour companies should advertise a “free raping!” on their brochures as part of the “bonus” of flying through the United States of America which now features “legalized rape zones” known as international airports. Where is your outrage? I hope you see what I’m doing here. I’m trying to evoke your justified outrage at the verifiable fact that women are being raped by the TSA every single day in America — and no one is doing anything about it. The tongue-in-cheek questions I ask above are lewd, insensitive and highly inappropriate — which is EXACTLY what you need to feel in your gut right now if you are to have any hope of responding to this situation with the proper degree of anger and indignation. The raping of women in America’s airports is WRONG! It is ALWAYS wrong! There are no exceptions. No excuses. No “administrative rights.” No “we’re fighting terrorism” B.S. RAPE IS WRONG. Even in the name of (false) security. And to all the women reading this, if you let the TSA rape you today, what else will they try tomorrow? I mean, for all your fluoride-drooling morons out there who think raping women is perfectly okay because we’re “fighting terrorism,” do you also think that the TSA can rape little boys, too, as long as they claim to be fighting terrorism? So then, in your mind, the only thing that Sandusky did wrong at Penn States is that he wasn’t working for the TSA at the time he was allegedly raping those boys? Really? Is that your sick, pathetic system of distorted logic? You see, I recognize this situation for EXACTLY what it is. I have a clear head on this, and my eyes are wide open. I recognize the simple truth that women are being raped across America every single day in our nation’s airports , and even if I am the lone person shouting this across the country, I will continue to shout this simple, obvious truth for as long as it takes for enough people to wake up do something to stop it. Regardless of the disturbing silence of the feminists on this subject, rape is unacceptable as a “security policy”, even when done by someone wearing a badge. I shouldn’t even have to spend my time covering this whole thing — this realization should be OBVIOUS if half the country weren’t so doped up on psychiatric drugs and vaccine poisoning side effects that their brains were already half-melted into a zombie-like state. It’s absurd to even have to say this, but let’s stop the raping of women in America . And let’s arrest, indict and imprison the serial rapist sex offenders who are affectionately known as TSA agents. The only badge these goons should be wearing is a name badge in a psychiatric ward.

Online database lets you research the side effects of common psychiatric drugs

(NaturalNews) If you have ever seen a commercial for a pharmaceutical drug, you are probably familiar with the long list of dangerous side effects that are rattled off in the last five seconds of the advertisement, just after viewers are told how Drug “X” is going to save their lives, improve their memories or give them unlimited energy. What was that? Did he just say that pill might cause bleeding out of my eyes? Drug companies do a great job – and spend a lot of money – to ensure that most consumers aren’t aware of the harmful side effects of common drugs prescribed for conditions like depression, heart disease, arthritis, ADHD or high blood pressure. Unfortunately, the result of this has created a society where the average person with a health problem is captivated by the promises delivered in clever advertising. There is a drug for everything? All I have to do is talk to my doctor? How convenient. But what if there was a way to take back control of our lives and our health? What if, despite talking to your doctor, you still have questions or concerns about the safety of a drug? The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR) has a database that allows you to do just that. It’s called the Psychiatric Drug Database, and it allows consumers to research the potential side effects of common psychiatric drugs, such as Ritalin or Wellbutrin. While the database is limited to psychiatric drugs, this type of public information portal represents a significant step in the right direction to help patients find unbiased information and make informed decisions about their health. The database allows you to search by drug and will retrieve information about adverse reactions reported by patients who have taken the drug, international warnings and studies that have been done on the drug and what side effects different age groups or genders have experienced. For example, a search of the effects of Ritalin on 18-30 year old women retrieved 89 reported cases of adverse side effects. These effects including anxiety, fatigue, hypertension, tremors, chest discomfort, nausea, panic attacks, cardiac murmurs, aggression, suicide attempts and completed suicides. The results are broken down by case and list specific symptoms and reactions caused by the drug in each reported case. Another search of Zoloft and its effects on young children included cases of cerebral disorders, upper respiratory tract infections, sleep disorders, vertigo, hallucinations, psychomotor hyperactivity and suicidal ideation. The database only includes information on cases that were actually reported to the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System between 2004 and 2008. Based on the FDA’s own estimates, only about 1 to 10 percent of adverse drug side effects are even reported to the FDA. The CCHR’s database, therefore, represents only a small margin of the population that has been affected by adverse side effects of pharmaceutical psychiatric drugs. Visitors to the site will also notice an interesting anecdote that describes how the definition of poison – a substance that causes death or harm when consumed by a living organism – clearly characterizes the drugs listed in the database. Consumers are encouraged to research potential problems of a drug before agreeing with their doctors to start a course of therapy.

Health Ranger interviews Julie Bass – all charges dropped against Michigan gardener

(NaturalNews) Thanks to the help of NaturalNews readers and the alternative media, Julie Bass has achieved victory against the Oak Park, Michigan city planner’s office that threatened to throw her in jail for 93 days for the “crime” of growing cucumbers and tomatoes in her front yard. All charges have been dismissed, but it turns out the city council may now be plotting to put even more draconian rules in place in the fall of this year. I spoke by phone with Julie and asked her to share how the charges were dismissed, what allowed her to prevail in the case, and what she plans to do from here forward. My full interview with Julie is available right now at: http://soundcloud.com/naturalnews/interview-julie-bass-gardener Some of the highlights of the interview: “The city council recently suggested they should make a rule that everyone in Oak Park now has to run every single landscaping decision by the city council before they can do it. They’ve just reacted time and time again by digging in their heels and getting more draconian and trying to make even more absurd statements.” – Julie Bass Alternative media helps Julie Bass achieve victory In this interview, I asked Julie what role the alternative media (like NaturalNews and InfoWars) played in helping her achieve the dismissal of her charges. She said our public support for her case was essentially the primary reason why the charges were dropped: “I think that if they didn’t know there were so many eyes on them to do the right thing, I think it would have been really tempting to just have it be another citizen that they squashed down and put in her place. If no one was paying attention, it would have been so easy for them to just ride roughshod over us and give us all kinds of consequences and make up all kinds of other rules. I think it’s 100 percent responsible that there was so much public scrutiny on this one, so we appreciated that… more than we can even say,” said Julie. Listen to the full interview at: http://soundcloud.com/naturalnews/interview-julie-bass-gardener Julie learns how even local Big Government can be tyrannical I also asked Julie what she learned about standing up against local tyranny “I never really realized how involved in your life the city government could get. I never realized it would turn into this beast that could persecute you and be very shameless in their desire to basically squash you like a bug,” she said. “This was just a really eye-opening experience about how many things the government does that fly under the radar, that no one pays attention, no one thinks it will ever affect me … so I think this is a good wakeup call for us to just pay attention, and be more aware, and don’t fall asleep at the switch or they’ll run stuff by you that you’ll just wake up with your jar hanging open, like oh my God what happened?” “I hope it really does have a positive effect on government, to remind them that they are accountable to the people they work for. And to remind people that you can stand up. You can stand your ground. I’m glad that I didn’t back down. I’m glad that I can show other people that you can just be a regular stay-at-home mom, but yet I was able to make my feelings carry some weight,” she added. Highlights of the backlash Julie told me she also really enjoyed the comedy video skit I created that poked fun at the Oak Park city planner’s office. You can watch that hilarious Monty Python-style animation satire at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=3A4B88066D390F0EA7C2664E371269D3 “It took a lot of stress off during a really hard time,” Julie told me. Laughter is the best medicine, after all. Some other details that emerged from my conversation with Julie: • For an entire week after Kevin Rulkowski said on TV (twice) that the definition of “suitable” is “common,” the website Websters.com reported that the most frequently searched word definition on their dictionary website was “suitable.” • There was a campaign organized to mail dictionaries to the city of Oak Park, Michigan so that the word-challenged bureaucrats there could see for themselves the definition of the word “suitable.” • The Judge of her case in Oak Park was very fair and took a considerable amount of time to understand the charges and determine the real story of what had happened. Once again, listen to the full interview with Julie Bass at: http://soundcloud.com/naturalnews/interview-julie-bass-gardener … and watch the hilarious satire video at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=3A4B88066D390F0EA7C2664E371269D3 Yes, I did the character voice for the Kevin character. I do quite a few comedy character voices, including the voices in this hilarious skit called “General Mills Mind Games” at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=851519FA1AC72A56F7205D2285CC66CF

North Carolina SB 31 bill seeks to turn healers into felons; but the health freedom backlash has already begun

(NaturalNews) As virtually the entire North Carolina legislature now knows, NaturalNews readers have been loudly condemning the lawmakers there over the recent “stealth bill” SB 31 which introduced new language that would transform homeopaths, naturopaths, herbalists and midwives into criminal felons. (http://www.naturalnews.com/031953_medical_practice_licensing.html) It all hinges, you see, on the definition of “practicing medicine” without a license. SB 31 reads: Any person who practices medicine or surgery without being duly licensed and registered… shall be guilty of a Class I felony. (http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2011/Bills/Senate/PDF/S31v2.pdf) The pushers of this onerous bill have contacted NaturalNews with the claim that this is only meant to “harmonize” the penalties for in-state violators versus out-of-state violators of North Carolina law. But what they utterly fail to admit is the simple truth that makes this law a shining example of the medical police state hard at work: The State of North Carolina REFUSES to license holistic health practitioners to practice medicine at all! You can’t get a license to treat disease as a homeopath, an herbalist or even as a Chinese Medicine practitioner. Be sure you understand what I’m saying here: YES, you can be “licensed” as a TCM practitioner in North Carolina, but you are NOT licensed to actually treat disease . In fact, if you attempt to tell a patient that you are “treating cancer” (i.e. practicing medicine), then under this new law, you can be arrested and prosecuted for a felony crime. State medical boards enforce the medical monopolies This is an important distinction that no one is explaining to you: When a holistic healer says they are treating ANY disease, that act is considered “practicing medicine.” And yet holistic healers are never licensed to be able to treat or cure ANY disease! The state medical boards make sure of that. This is why this SB 31 bill is an assault on the God-given freedom to practice healing medicine. In fact, state medical boards are, themselves, a symptom of the “disease” of the medical police state . By what right does a state medical board have any authority to tell an herbalist that she cannot treat a heart patient or a diabetic? The huge assortment of herbs that can help reverse diabetes is astonishing, and yet the state medical board in North Carolina (and every other state) insists that degenerative disease can ONLY be treated with drugs and surgery. Anyone even attempting to treat cancer with herbs, for example, can be arrested and charged with a felony crime under this new bill. This kind of medical police state tyranny has created the situation today where natural healers, herbalists and Chinese Medicine practitioners are scared to death of being hauled off to prison if they accidentally utter a disease name during a patient treatment session. Were you aware that the national certification boards for most holistic modalities even warn healing arts practitioners that they cannot ever, under any circumstances, teach patients about the deadly dangers of prescription medications? That’s how bad the situation really is out there: The holistic healers are being criminalized and condemned even though they are the ones with the true answers to affordable, safe and effective health care (rather than the Big Pharma “drug everybody” approach that’s bankrupting the states). Meanwhile, states like North Carolina push their toxic drug-induced, Big Pharma-corrupted medication agenda that keeps conventional doctors in business because it keeps patients just sick enough to have to return for repeated treatments. It’s a clever trap designed to imprison holistic healers And now, with SB 31, North Carolina is blatantly seeking to throw the natural healers in prison. It’s right in the language: Anyone who practices medicine “without being duly licensed” will be guilty of a felony crime — even though the state refuses to license natural healers to treat disease in patients! Do you see the catch-22 here? It’s a clever legislative trap, much like the old witch hunt tests. They bind your hands and throw you in the river, and if you floated, you were a witch so they burned you at the stake. If you sank, you were innocent. But dead, of course. Today, in North Carolina, if you claim to be “practicing medicine” (i.e. treating any health condition whatsoever) using any holistic modality (including nutrition), you are instantly a criminal felon. But if you don’t claim to be treating anything, then there’s no reason for people to visit you for health treatments then, is there? A warning to those who would seek to crush the freedoms of the American people I have a warning for the legislators of North Carolina and every other state that is persecuting natural healers, herbalists and homeopaths: What you are seeing right now in terms of the public backlash is just the beginning of the info war that will ultimately see the reestablishment of our health freedoms and the collapse of the pharma poisoning of our nation. We, the health freedom movement, proclaim that no state, no government and no entity has any authority whatsoever to criminalize or imprison those who practice holistic healing modalities, and that any attempt to engage in a witch-hunt criminalization of those who practice natural medicine will result in a popular revolt against your false authority and your broken, bankrupt systems of chemical-based medicine. Criminalize the pharma executives, not the healers Western medicine has failed. It is a broken, hopeless system that only breeds bankruptcy and suffering. It does not produce health, nor does it prevent disease. Every family, city, state or nation that depends on western drugs-and-surgery medicine will eventually collapse under widespread financial destitution and chronic degenerative disease. You cannot drug your population into a state of health . Over the last several decades, the rise of Big Pharma has led to the downfall of public health. Only holistic healing modalities have the real answers to the long-term health and productivity of any given population. If North Carolina really cared about its people, it would criminalize the pharma drug pushers! Throw the Big Pharma executives in prison and unleash health freedom across the state so that natural healers can finally get down to the business of teaching people how to reverse cancer, reverse diabetes, eliminate heart disease and avoid osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and other chronic degenerative diseases. The real criminals in North Carolina today are the Big Pharma drug reps; the pharma marketers pushing poison medications and even the wildly misinformed doctors who treat disease symptoms but never the root cause of the disease. The conventional medical system is, by itself, a criminal racket that should be prosecuted under federal racketeering laws. Yet, instead, North Carolina is now going out of its way to turn non-licensed medical practitioners into felons, thereby imprisoning the very people who possess the only remaining solutions for lasting health! Why monopoly medicine is itself a crime against humanity That’s how insane our world has become today, friends. The poison-pushing physicians who offer only poisonous medicine and the psychiatric drugging of innocent children are given the monopoly “right” to treat disease, while the holistic healing arts practitioners who actually know how to help people heal are being criminalizes as felons. And North Carolina is the state with the remarkable town of Asheville, too — one of the most famous and abundant healing centers in all of North America! To think that North Carolina could sweep into Asheville with law enforcement vans and start handcuffing all the homeopaths and herbalists is the kind of thing that absolutely demands a unified resistance from the People. It is not merely our right, but our duty to stand against tyranny, against monopolistic practices and against the corrupt, dangerous and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that virtually controls the medical boards in every state in America today. Legalize health freedom! If North Carolina lawmakers had any sense whatsoever, they would be working on laws to legalize health freedom in the state, not criminalize those who practice it. The state medical board should be stripped of its monopoly over all medical practice and limited to just regulating the pharmaceutically-inclined doctors who, of course, have virtually nothing to offer the population in terms of lasting health. That’s why such a monopoly must be kept in force by the drug pushers, you see — because if North Carolina’s population was given a free market choice over the kind of medicine they really wanted , most would choose holistic medicine! Holistic medicine is cheaper, safer and far more effective than pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. But this is precisely why the extremely corrupt state medical boards all around the country will fight tooth and nail to maintain their monopolies: They know that if consumers were given a free market choice over the kind of medicine they really wanted, conventional medicine would collapse overnight . So I challenge North Carolina lawmakers who are reading this: I challenge you to unleash a true health care free market in North Carolina and let your own people decide what kind of “medical practice” they wish to undergo. Your state medical board is a medical police state monopoly racket, and if you support that state medical board, you support an anti-American, anti-free-market monopoly system that deprives consumers of the cost savings and benefits that naturally flow from open market competition. Why not let the people of North Carolina choose their own system of medicine to treat disease and protect their health? It’s funny how especially Republican lawmakers claim they support the free market in just about everything — cars, finance, agriculture, consumers goods and so on — but never medicine! Nope, medicine must be tightly controlled by a monopolistic, tyrannical state medical board, because free choice cannot be tolerated in the medical industry, you see. SB 31 is all about eliminating the healing arts practitioners in that state by either motivating them to move out of the state or arresting them and sending them to prison. Of course, if you call the North Carolina legislators’ offices, they won’t admit to any of this. They just want you to ignore this bill until they can get it passed, and then once it’s the new law, they sweep in with the police vans and the plasticuffs to start arresting the herbalists en masse . The true tyranny of the monopoly medical racket This is how the medical system really, really works: We’ve seen it with the forced vaccinations in Maryland, with the multiple armed FDA raids on vitamin companies, with the U.S. Marshals sneaking into Mexico to kidnap alternative cancer doctors, and even with the U.S. State Department hiring thugs to kidnap cancer herbalists in places like Ecuador so that they can be flown back to the United States and thrown in prison (http://www.naturalnews.com/027750_Greg_Caton_FDA.html). NaturalNews has documented each of these items. None of these are fictions. If you want to read just the history of the FDA raids, check this: http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html The North Carolina legislators, I assure you, have near-zero knowledge about the true history of the medical police state in America today. They know nothing about how many people have been assassinated, imprisoned or run out of the country in their fight for health freedom. They are ignorant of the waters of medical tyranny into which they have now carelessly waded. But let them be warned: The health freedom community will not go peacefully into your prisons . We will not stand by idly as you criminalize our healing modalities and attempt to keep us enslaved under a broken system of toxic pharmaceutical medicine. We will fight for our freedoms and our access to holistic healing modalities. We will stand up to tyranny and be united in our defense of liberty and health freedom . We will defend Mother Nature’s healing gifts even in the face of the most powerful, evil and corrupt pharmaceutical influences over the legislature of any state, including North Carolina. Enemies of health freedom are enemies of America Let the state lawmakers of every state in America be warned: The health freedom movement will no longer tolerate being criminalized for bringing our healing gifts to the world. We will stand unified against your poisons, your corruption and your monopolistic racketeering on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry, and we will be victorious in achieving health freedom across this great land known as America. Those who oppose health freedom in America are enemies of America , enemies of natural law, enemies of liberty and enemies of health and happiness. They have no role to play in the future of our society — a future which shall see the fall of Big Pharma and the rise of both liberty and justice in the name of Natural Law. We are watching it unfold even today, and it is unstoppable. It is the inevitable resurgence of health freedom as a backlash against a century of medical oppression in America at the hands of the FDA and the AMA. No law created by Man can strike down the Natural Law rights and freedoms that are now self-evident: That all people have the right to choose the health modalities they believe can assist them ; that we all have the right to buy, sell and consume raw milk ; that no law created by Man has any authority over a plant created by God and Mother Nature (such as hemp); that no government can extinguish the natural healing gifts and talents that have been suppressed for so long across the human race. We the People answer to a higher law than government law. We answer to God, Mother Nature and the very fabric of the universe itself which says that we are all connected , and therefore healing itself must be holistic. The age of compartmentalized, chemical-based “medicine” is fast coming to an end. And beyond it, on the other side, a new golden age of health freedom and natural healing is just waiting to burst forth and enlighten the human race with its compassion, wisdom and advanced healing modalities that will make today’s chemical-based “sick care” all but obsolete. Today’s “felons” in North Carolina, you see, are tomorrow’s advanced healing practitioners. No wonder the pharma-influenced state medical board is trying desperately to have them all branded as criminals.

EPA to raise limits for radiation exposure while Canada turns off fallout detectors

(NaturalNews) The mass radioactive contamination of our planet is now under way thanks to the astonishing actions taking place at the Fukushima nuclear facility in Japan. As of last night, TEPCO announced it is releasing 10,000 tons of radioactive water directly into the Pacific Ocean. That 2.4 million gallons of planetary poison being dumped directly into the ocean. This water is being released because they have run out of places to keep it on land. It’s too deadly to transport anywhere else, and all the storage pools around Fukushima are already overflowing. So they’re dumping it into the ocean, then calling it “safe” because they claim the ocean will “disperse” all the radiation and make it harmless. But because there’s more radioactive water being produced every day at Fukushima, this process of releasing radioactive water into the ocean could theoretically continue for years , easily making Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster in the history of our world. Quick, fudge the numbers before anybody notices! Fukushima, you see, is doing to the Pacific Ocean what BP and the Deepwater Horizon did to the Gulf of Mexico last summer. Except that in the case of Fukushima, that radiation doesn’t just disappear with the help of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals. Nope, that radiation sticks around for decades . So what to do? If you’re the United States Environment Protection Agency, there’s only one option: Declare radiation to be safe! Yes indeed, friends, we have reached a moment of comedic insanity at the EPA, where those in charge of protecting the environment are hastily rewriting the definition of “radioactive contamination” in order to make sure that whatever fallout reaches the United States falls under the new limits of “safe” radiation. The EPA maintains a set of so-called “Protective Action Guides” (PAGs). These PAGs are being quickly revised to radically increase the allowable levels of iodine-131 (a radioactive isotope) to anywhere from 3,000 to 100,000 times the currently allowable levels. The group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) is all over this issue, having obtained internal emails from a FOIA requests that reveal some truly shocking revelations of the level of back-stabbing betrayal happening inside the EPA. For example, under the newly-revised PAGs, drinking just one glass of water considered “safe” by the EPA could subject you to the lifetime limit of radiation . (http://www.peer.org/news/news_id.php?row_id=1325) “In addition,” PEER goes on to say, “it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed.” These new PAGs would also vastly increase the allowable levels of radiation in soil and food, too. That way, when the radioactive fallout from Fukushima’s massive release of raw radioactive water begins to rain down upon the West Coast, the EPA can officially announce that all the radiation is “below accepted limits.” That’s very comforting to many people, you see. And why is it below the limits? Because the EPA just raised the limits by as much as 100,000 times! Quack science is alive and well as the government Truly, this is science at its most delightful. When the facts don’t fit your fairy tale, simply rewrite the fairy tale to discard the facts! That’s science for you today, folks: There’s nothing that can’t be denied, censored, oppressed or ignored if you just fudge the numbers with enough determination and arrogance. The U.S. government does the exact same thing with vitamin D, of course. By lowering the definition of vitamin D deficiency to mean only those with a blood level below 30, the government magically and instantly transforms a wildly deficient American population into a “sufficiently nourished” population! It’s magic, friends. Magic with numbers. But even the EPA’s sleight-of-hand magic isn’t fooling very many people this time around. Even the most TV-obsessed, CNN-watching news zombie has by now figured out that too much radiation is bad for you. After all, the media has been screaming at people about the dangers of sunlight radiation for years, insisting that the mere act of sunlight touching your skin could kill you from skin cancer. And yet, thanks to the EPA’s magically-morphing numbers, even though sunlight radiation might kill you, Fukushima radiation is perfectly safe for ya! You have a front row seat in this entertaining charade Isn’t it amazing? Watching the U.S. government try to fudge its way out of the physical realities of Fukushima probably beats the best stage magic show you’ll ever find in Vegas. Sure, in Vegas they can make white tigers disappear right in front of your very eyes, but with the help of the U.S. government, they can cause the world’s largest nuclear catastrophe to vanish by simply redefining radiation exposure limits. You may wonder, dear readers, where the U.S. government learned these amazing and fantastic tricks of fudging the numbers. The answer, as regular NaturalNews know all too well, is that they learned it from the U.S. Treasury , where fudging the numbers is an essential skill to keep things running. After all, if the federal government can pretend that trillions of dollars in toxic debt have no impact on the U.S. economy, it’s a no-brainer to also pretend that massive doses of radioactive fallout have no impact on environmental health, either. That’s the new mantra in Washington: We just wish it away! It should be Obama’s new campaign slogan, actually: Are you ready to wish it all away? Watch the distraction in my right hand while I steal the money out of your wallet with my left… British scientists have the solution: Spread it all around! Getting back to the absolutely glowing situation in Fukushima, if you can’t believe the U.S. EPA, then perhaps you can take comfort in the authoritative words of a British newspaper, which assures us that: “Scientists also confirmed that ocean currents will swiftly dilute the radioactive iodine-131, eliminating risks to human health and the environment.” (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/8425719/Japan-nuclear-crisis-workers-using-newspaper-and-sawdust-to-block-pipes.html) Surely this logic is impeccable, no? Any amount of toxic radiation can simply be declared safe by dumping it into the ocean and watching the waves sweep it all away. By this same logic, you could clean up a toxic chemical spill by swishing it around with wet mops and then declaring the zone to be safe again. Didn’t we try this already with pesticides, herbicides and agricultural runoff? And didn’t it create massive ocean dead zones all around the planet? Now we’re going to add Chernobyl-sized radiation releases to that equation, too? Fukushima is a massive dirty bomb I’m reminded that if an Islamic-looking individual conducted such an act anywhere near a U.S. shoreline, it would be considered an act of terrorism . A dirty bomb, actually. And those individuals would be shipped off the Guantanamo Bay to be interrogated in a facility that President Obama once promised the voters would be closed down if he were elected. He was lying, of course. But that’s not even the news here. Everybody already knows he was lying about Gitmo. So why is unleashing a dirty bomb an act of terrorism if you’re Islamic-looking, but if you’re Japanese suddenly it’s all officially safe? And by what contortions in its twisted agenda of anti-public service does the EPA go to these extraordinary lengths to redefine the very margins of radiation exposure? If Fukushima goes into a total meltdown, will the EPA just add more zeroes to the end of its safety margin numbers until we’re all assured our food is U.S. government approved 100% safe even while our hair falls out from eating it? Will the FDA soon tell us that radioactive milk is safe to drink , but RAW milk is deadly? Canada tries to out-stupid the USA Ah, the fascination of watching this tragic comedy of errors unfold in the U.S. government almost cannot be exceeded. But Canada is sure trying. Its own nuclear monitoring network has simply been shut off, and its website now reads “Please note that as of March 25, 2011, the frequency of data collection by NRCan using the mobile surveys has been decreased due to the low levels of radiation being detected.” Seriously, see the bottom of the page: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/ed-ud/respond/nuclea/_data/nrcan-rncan-eng.php Yep, since they’re detecting low levels of radiation, this is apparently justification for turning off the monitors altogether , which of course is the kind of brilliant early warning plan that could have only been dreamed up by a brain-dead bureaucrat. It’s as if these morons are sitting around a table having a conversation that goes something like this: Bureaucratic Moron #1: Remember how we spent a hundred million dollars installing a national network of radiation detectors? Bureaucratic Moron #2: Yeah. Bureaucratic Moron #1: And remember how we started to detect some of the radioactive fallout from Fukushima as it began raining down upon Canada? Bureaucratic Moron #2: Yeah. Bureaucratic Moron #1: Well, I have a great idea. Let’s turn OFF all the detectors so that we stop detecting radiation! Bureaucratic Moron #2: That’s brilliant! You’re a genius! Bureaucratic Moron #1: I know I am. And we wouldn’t want to waste this expensive equipment, you know. Bureaucratic Moron #2: Right, we want to save it for a scenario when we might really need it, eh? Bureaucratic Moron #1: Exactly! And we’ll save millions of dollars in operating fees, because the best way to save money on radiation detectors is to not use them. Bureaucratic Moron #2: You’re a genius! You should run for Prime Minister! Yes there is a plan, but you’re not in it Obama, of course, is trying to best his Canadian counterpart by simply urging the American people to do nothing in the case of radioactive fallout. Don’t worry, my little consumer sheeple, you don’t need to prepare in any way whatsoever, Obama says from his nuclear fallout shelter that’s stocked with 10 years of food, water, emergency medical supplies, government ammunition and military communications equipment. It’s okay for the President to prepare for emergencies, I guess. Just not YOU. There is a plan, you see, for the government to survive every disaster that comes our way. You’re just not part of it. The government feels that its own survival is far more important than yours. And just to make sure you don’t interfere with its own plans, the government is going to turn off the radiation detectors, raise the official EPA limits of radioactive exposure, urge Americans to avoid preparing for fallout, and then pretend absolutely nothing’s wrong. Keep on buying, consuming and paying your bills, all you voters! Punch your time clock at your job if you still have one, and don’t ask any questions about radiation, vaccines or the chemical additives they put in hot dogs. Some food ingredients, you see, are only disclosed on a need-to-know basis. And you don’t need to know. Run for the cure. Vote in the next election. Buy diet sodas and watch lots of sports programs on television with occasional interruptions from the news programs now featuring “info babes” regurgitating scripted mindless propaganda bracketed by flying news network logos. Report suspicious activities at Wal-Mart (http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=5A4B5D4B84344D5D9CBD262A53D8B071). Call 911 on your Arab-looking neighbors just because they look Arab-looking. Watch “Ow, My Balls!” on your television set (http://www.naturalnews.com/021558_Idiocracy_Hollywood.html) and stop thinking about your future. Your government already has your future planned for you. That’s why there’s no need for you to expend any effort considering it yourself. Why bother thinking when you can just passively consume everything you’re being spoon-fed by the State? And don’t worry about the radioactive fallout. It’s all safe now. I’ve been assured of that by the EPA.

8000 IUs of vitamin D daily necessary to raise blood levels of "miracle" anti-cancer nutrient, declares groundbreaking new research

(NaturalNews) The reign of censorship and suppression against vitamin D is now coming to an end. Even though the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and many institutions leading the cancer industry (including the ACS) have intentionally tried to downplay the ability of vitamin D to prevent cancer, a new study appearing in the journal Anticancer Research lays out the simple, powerful truth about vitamin D that we’ve been teaching at NaturalNews for years: A typical adults needs 4,000 – 8,000 IUs of vitamin D each day to prevent cancer, MS and type-1 diabetes, not the ridiculously low 400 – 800 IUs recommended by the U.S. government. The new research was conducted by scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha. It is groundbreaking research because it establishes the relationship between vitamin D dosage and circulating vitamin D levels in the blood. This is a first. It is crucial information for the health care revolution that will be necessary to save states and nations from total health care bankruptcy in the coming years. Vitamin D turns out to be one of the simplest, safest and most affordable ways to prevent degenerative disease and sharply reduce long-term health care costs. Up to 8,000 IUs needed daily “We found that daily intakes of vitamin D by adults in the range of 4,000 to 8,000 IU [international units] are needed to maintain blood levels of vitamin D metabolites in the range needed to reduce by about half the risk of several diseases — breast cancer, colon cancer, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes,” said Dr. Cedric Garland. (http://health.ucsd.edu/news/2011/02-22-vitamin-D-cancer-risk.htm) Dr. Garland is the professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. He went on to say: “I was surprised to find that the intakes required to maintain vitamin D status for disease prevention were so high — much higher than the minimal intake of vitamin D of 400 IU/day that was needed to defeat rickets in the 20th century.” Study reveals 90% vitamin D deficiency rate across U.S. population This particular study involved over 3,000 volunteers who were taking vitamin D supplements. Researchers drew blood samples from them in order to determine their levels of 25-vitamin D (the common form circulating in the blood). The results were shocking even to the study authors, revealing that 90 percent of those studied were deficient in vitamin D , falling below the 40 – 60 ng/ml range now considered healthy. (Most nutritionally-aware experts in the natural health world recommend higher ranges of 60 – 70 ng/ml, actually.) The U.S. government’s Institute of Medicine has intentionally downplayed vitamin D recommendations, seemingly in an effort to keep boosting the profits of the cancer industry by denying any real benefit to vitamin D. The IOMs most recent recommendations seemed designed to actually cause vitamin D deficiency in the U.S. population (http://www.naturalnews.com/030598_vitamin_D_Institute_of_Medicine.html). The IOM has even gone out of its way to artificially lower the threshold of vitamin D deficiency by claiming that 20 ng/ml is a sufficient level. This magically transforms a “deficient” person into a “non-deficient” person by merely changing the definition. So a person with a level of 22 ng/ml, for example, is not considered “vitamin D deficient” by the established medical system, even though their vitamin D levels are so low that they may not be able to prevent cancer, MS or type-1 diabetes. Why the truth about vitamin D is a huge threat to the established for-profit medical system As NaturalNews has documented and reported many times over the last several years, the medical establishment — and especially the cancer industry — has willfully engaged in attempts to prevent people from learning the truth about vitamin D in order to protect the lucrative profits generated from sickness and disease. Vitamin D represents a greater threat to the medical establishment than any other single nutrient for three reasons: 1) Vitamin D is FREE (you can get it from the sun, without a prescription). 2) Vitamin D prevents over a dozen high-profit diseases and health conditions (osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, MS, and others). 3) Vitamin D is extremely safe, even when taken in supplement form, because it’s a natural vitamin / hormone that the body recognizes.

Those with existing high levels of vitamin D do not experience as much benefit from vitamin D supplements as those with low levels (which is roughly 90% of the population). • Vitamin D sales have increased 600% since 2001 (due largely to the efforts of those in both the natural health and honest science communities who are telling the truth about vitamin D). • Vitamin D is remarkably safe! From the conclusion of the study: “Universal intake of up to 40,000 IU vitamin D per day is unlikely to result in vitamin D toxicity.” Yes, that’s 40,000 IUs per day . See the abstract reprinted below. Why nearly everyone in first-world nations needs more vitamin D Thanks in large part to this remarkable research, it’s now clear that all the intelligent people are going to up their vitamin D intake to something in the range of 8,000 IUs per day (or more), especially through the winter months. Based on this study, I am personally increasing my intake to 10,000 IUs per day from October through April (in North America). And I’ll be sure to get plenty of sunshine during the other months. “Now that the results of this study are in, it will become common for almost every adult to take 4000 IU/day,” said Dr. Garland. “This is comfortably under the 10,000 IU/day that the IOM Committee Report considers as the lower limit of risk, and the benefits are substantial.” “Now is the time for virtually everyone to take more vitamin D to help prevent some major types of cancer, several other serious illnesses, and fractures,” said Robert P. Heaney, MD, of Creighton University, an experienced biomedical scientist. It seems the conventional cancer industry, the IOM and even the FDA will not be able to censor the truth about vitamin D much longer. The truth is getting out , thanks in large part due to you, the NaturalNews readers who share these stories and help educate and inform your friends and family members. Spread the news: Take more vitamin D! Please share this story on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. Let people know that the research is in, and vitamin D is a remarkably safe “miracle” nutrient that nearly everyone needs to be supplementing. This is especially true if they have darker skin. (We recommend vitamin D3 from quality nutritional supplement companies. Beware of cheap “multivitamin” sources that you find at common retailers. Go for quality supplements from reputable sources.) Here’s the title and abstract of the original study: Vitamin D Supplement Doses and Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D in the Range Associated with Cancer Prevention CEDRIC F. GARLAND, CHRISTINE B. FRENCH, , LEO L. BAGGERLY, and ROBERT P. HEANEY, “This paper provides a long awaited insight into a dose-response relationship between orally administered vitamin D3 and the resulting levels of serum 25(OH)D in over 3600 citizens. The results will allow new definition of high vitamin D dose safety and reduce concerns about toxicity. This is a landmark contribution in the vitamin D nutrition field!” – Anthony Norman, Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, Emeritus, University of California Riverside Abstract. Background: Studies indicate that intake of vitamin D in the range from 1,100 to 4,000 IU/d and a serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D concentration [25(OH)D] from 60-80 ng/ml may be needed to reduce cancer risk. Few community-based studies allow estimation of the dose,response relationship between oral intake of vitamin D and corresponding serum 25(OH)D in the range above 1,000 IU/d. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study of serum 25(OH)D concentration and self-reported vitamin D intake in a community-based cohort (n=3,667, mean age 51.313.4 y). Results: Serum 25(OH)D rose as a function of self-reported vitamin D supplement ingestion in a curvilinear fashion, with no intakes of 10,000 IU/d or lower producing 25(OH)D values above the lower-bound of the zone of potential toxicity (200 ng/ml). Unsupplemented all-source input was estimated at 3,300 IU/d. The supplemental dose ensuring that 97.5% of this population achieved a serum 25(OH)D of at least 40 ng/ml was 9,600 IU/d. Conclusion: Universal intake of up to 40,000 IU vitamin D per day is unlikely to result in vitamin D toxicity. The recent increase in interest in vitamin D by the general public has fueled a better than 200% increase in sales of over-the-counter vitamin D preparations from 2008 to 2009, and a more than 6-fold increase since 2001 (1). Additionally, products with progressively increasing content of vitamin D have been introduced with similar rapidity. There seems to have been little precedent for a change of this magnitude and duration for other nutrients (e.g., vitamins C and E) that have enjoyed brief periods of popularity among the general public. There is essentially no information on how the public uses these products or on their impact on the vitamin D status of consumers. GrassrootsHealth (GRH), a non-profit community service organization dedicated to promoting public awareness about vitamin D, has assembled a database that includes information on supplemental vitamin D intake by a self-selected population cohort, and links these intakes to measured values for serum 25(OH)D, various demographic variables, and a variety of health status measures. GRH data include values from many individuals with daily supplemental intakes in and above the ranges often used today for cancer prevention and co-therapy (2, 3). This study used the GRH database to describe the relationship of measured vitamin D status to vitamin D supplementation, both as practiced by health conscious individuals and as related to cancer prevention.

Roundup, GMOs linked to emergence of deadly new pathogen causing spontaneous abortions among animals

(NaturalNews) In a shocking warning letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, a highly experienced, ex-military pathogen researcher warns that the use of Roundup via GMO crops is resulting in the emergence of a deadly new pathogen — previously unknown to science — that’s causing widespread spontaneous abortions among cattle. The pathogen appears in high concentrations among even non-GMO crops that are “managed” through the use of glyphosate (Roundup) for weed control. The letter is authored by COL (Retired) Don M. Huber, a former Emeritus Professor at Purdue University. Huber was also the coordinator at the American Phytopathological Society , an organization that studies plant diseases and pathogens. Huber also sat on the committee for Emerging Diseases and Pathogens, chaired by an Agriculture Research Service (USDA) employee from Fort Detrick, Maryland. Fort Detrick, you may remember, is also where the U.S. military conducts much of its biological warfare research through its United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_Biological_Warfare_Laboratories). A few years ago, deadly pathogens “went missing” from this lab (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/22/AR2009042202005.html). Huber, in other words, is not just some ranting civilian. He’s someone who has worked around pathogens for many decades and whose warnings about pathogenic threats must be taken seriously. In his letter, Huber warns about a new pathogen, unknown to science, “…that appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings. Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in much higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and corn — suggesting a link with the RR gene or more likely the presence of Roundup.” This pathogen appears to be link to widespread spontaneous abortions among cattle. As Huber explains, “450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers …experienced spontaneous abortions.” That’s a spontaneous abortion rate of 45 percent! Huber goes on to say that this pathogen “…could result in a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies . …This new organism may already be responsible for significant harm…” Huber’s letter was made available to Tom Vilsack well before the USDA’s recent decision to deregulate GE alfalfa (http://www.naturalnews.com/031139_GE_alfalfa_deregulation.html), meaning that the USDA deregulated GE alfalfa even after being made aware of this severe threat to human and animal health . The threat to human health As Huber explains, this previously unknown pathogen causes spontaneous abortions and infertility . “Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. Preliminary results from ongoing research have also been able to reproduce abortions in a clinical setting.” That alone means this pathogen may be a huge threat to ranchers and cattle operations, but there’s more to this story: The HUMAN threat. “[The pathogen] 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,” says Huber. Guess where soybean meal is used? Throughout the processed food supply. Both soybean meal and GMO corn are widely used in thousands of foods found in grocery stores and even health food stores like Whole Foods. This means human consumers are almost certainly being exposed to this pathogen through the food supply right now , as there are often mistakes in food processing that don’t always kill the pathogens through cooking or pasteurization. Is this part of the explanation behind human spontaneous abortions and rising rates of infertility? More frighteningly, is this all part of a population control agenda being pursued by the U.S. government through the USDA? Given the threat that this pathogen presents to both human and animal life, why would the USDA deregulate so many Roundup Ready GMO crops unless it actually wanted to see more infertility and spontaneous abortions taking place? Pathogen also threatens plant life It’s not just animals and humans that are threatened by this mysterious and deadly pathogen, by the way. Crops are also threatened by it . “The organism is prolific in plants infected with two pervasive diseases that are driving down yields and farmer income — sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soy, and Goss’ wilt in corn. The pathogen is also found in the fungal causative agent of SDS (Fusarium solani fsp glycines).” Did you read that carefully? The pathogen caused by the use of Roundup and GMO crops drives down crop yields through plant disease! And yet, the whole selling point behind GMOs was supposed to be “increased yields!” That’s why farmers have been strong-armed into using GMOs in the first place. And yet, in reality, what we see are GMO crop failures, not increased yields. See this article by Jeffrey Smith for more: http://www.naturalnews.com/031138_Monsanto_Roundup.html Huber isn’t the only one warning about the toxic effects of Roundup on life, by the way. A paper published in Chemical Research in Toxicology also concluded that Roundup causes birth defects in frogs and chickens: Glyphosate-Based Herbicides Produce Teratogenic Effects on Vertebrates by Impairing Retinoic Acid Signaling (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/tx1001749?journalCode=crtoec) An emergency halt to all GMOs Huber’s letter drives home the most important point in all this: We need to STOP GMOs right now , at least until more research can be conducted. As Huber states: “[We request] an immediate moratorium on the deregulation of RR crops until the causal / predisposing relationship with glyphosate and / or RR plants can be ruled out as a threat to crop and animal production and human health. 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; it dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; and it reduces the bioavailability of nutrients in feed, which in turn can cause animal disorders.” But rather than stopping GMOs, the USDA has approved three new GE crops in just the last several weeks! The USDA, it seems, has decided to risk the sustainability of life on our planet — plant life, animal life and even human life. The USDA is now becoming as dangerous as the FDA! The USDA, through its recent decisions, is without question a threat to life on Earth . The coming ecological catastrophe Mark my words, friends: We are facing dark times ahead, thanks in part to these reckless actions being taken by the USDA. We are facing the likelihood of widespread crop failures which will obviously lead to food riots and starvation. We’re rolling the dice on the future of life on Earth, placing our bets on the profits of the biotech industry while violating the laws of nature . Once these deadly pathogens are out in the wild, there’s no recapturing them. I predict that, in the years ahead, GMOs will cause an ecological catastrophe that results in widespread suffering and death. Everybody is threatened by GMOs – cattle ranchers, dairy owners, pets, children, adults and even the crops themselves. Nothing is safe from the scourge of death and destruction now being unleashed upon our world by these evil corporations (http://www.naturalnews.com/030967_Monsanto_evil.html) working in conspiracy with corrupt, criminal-minded government all across the world — governments that are actively conspiring against their own people to unleash spontaneous abortions, infertility and eventual starvation. Make no mistake, all of you who read NaturalNews: Your government is conspiring with an industry of death to roll out GMOs that will result in abortions, suffering, starvation and ecological catastrophe. And they are doing this under the label of “science,” claiming that any restrictions of GMOs would be “unscientific.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/031093_unscientific_GMOs.html) They are claiming that GMOs will prevent starvation and “feed the world!” But the evidence reveals the far darker truth behind the scheme: It’s really about poisoning the world , reducing the population, and seizing control over the production and distribution of food. Why aren’t people protesting against GMOs? The truth about this matter is now becoming increasingly apparent to nearly everyone. But I have a question: When will the people take to the streets to protest this? Don’t you find it interesting that people in places like Madison, Wisconsin will protest threats to their incomes, but virtually nobody takes to the streets to protest GMOs and other threats to sustainable life on our planet? Why aren’t the people up in arms over GMOs, marching in front of the USDA offices and demanding the arrest and prosecution of people like Tom Vilsack who have emerged as enemies of life ? It really makes you wonder where peoples’ priorities are these days. While they’re busy protesting their paycheck in Madison, the federal government is secretly plotting behind their backs to abort their fetuses, starve their children, contaminate their crops and destroy their ranch animals. This is the definition of EVIL, folks. The dark era of “Satanic government” is upon us, and now they’re plotting with the biotech industry to literally destroy life on our planet. You need to understand, this is no longer about mere profits or political power. This is an agenda of death now being pursued by the USDA. Government-sponsored pestilence . The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and all that. This is downright Biblical in proportion because now we’re talking about threats to life across the planet. Below, I’ve reprinted the full letter from Huber: The letter to the USDA from Professor Huber Dear Secretary Vilsack: A team of senior plant and animal scientists have recently brought to my attention the discovery of an electron microscopic pathogen that appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings. Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in much higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and corn — suggesting a link with the RR gene or more likely the presence of Roundup. This organism appears NEW to science! This is highly sensitive information that could result in a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies. On the other hand, this new organism may already be responsible for significant harm (see below). My colleagues and I are therefore moving our investigation forward with speed and discretion, and seek assistance from the USDA and other entities to identify the pathogen’s source, prevalence, implications, and remedies. We are informing the USDA of our findings at this early stage, specifically due to your pending decision regarding approval of RR alfalfa. Naturally, if either the RR gene or Roundup itself is a promoter or co-factor of this pathogen, then such approval could be a calamity. Based on the current evidence, the only reasonable action at this time would be to delay deregulation at least until sufficient data has exonerated the RR system, if it does. For the past 40 years, I have been a scientist in the professional and military agencies that evaluate and prepare for natural and manmade biological threats, including germ warfare and disease outbreaks. Based on this experience, I believe the threat we are facing from this pathogen is unique and of a high risk status. In layman’s terms, it should be treated as an emergency. A diverse set of researchers working on this problem have contributed various pieces of the puzzle, which together presents the following disturbing scenario: Unique Physical Properties This previously unknown organism is only visible under an electron microscope (36,000X), 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. If so, it would be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is strong evidence that this infectious agent promotes diseases of both plants and mammals, which is very rare. Pathogen Location and Concentration 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. Linked with Outbreaks of Plant Disease The organism is prolific in plants infected with two pervasive diseases that are driving down yields and farmer income — sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soy, and Goss’ wilt in corn. The pathogen is also found in the fungal causative agent of SDS (Fusarium solani fsp glycines). Implicated in Animal Reproductive Failure Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. Preliminary results from ongoing research have also been able to reproduce abortions in a clinical setting. The pathogen 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%. For example, 450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers fed wheatlege experienced spontaneous abortions. Over the same period, another 1,000 heifers from the same herd that were raised on hay had no abortions. High concentrations of the pathogen were confirmed on the wheatlege, which likely had been under weed management using glyphosate. Recommendations In summary, because of the high titer of this new animal pathogen in Roundup Ready crops, and its association with plant and animal diseases that are reaching epidemic proportions, we request USDA’s participation in a multi-agency investigation, and an immediate moratorium on the deregulation of RR crops until the causal/predisposing relationship with glyphosate and/or RR plants can be ruled out as a threat to crop and animal production and human health. 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; it dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; and it reduces the bioavailability of nutrients in feed, which in turn can cause animal disorders. To properly evaluate these factors, we request access to the relevant USDA data. I have studied plant pathogens for more than 50 years. We are now seeing an unprecedented trend of increasing plant and animal diseases and disorders. This pathogen may be instrumental to understanding and solving this problem. It deserves immediate attention with significant resources to avoid a general collapse of our critical agricultural infrastructure. Sincerely, COL (Ret.) Don M.

Taco Bell beef faked? No more than the rest of the FDA-approved toxic food supply

(NaturalNews) The word spread like wildfire across the internet: An Alabama law firm had filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell in California, saying its meat fails to meet the definition of beef set forth by the U.S. government (and even that’s a pretty low hurdle, if you ask me). The lawsuit claims Taco Bell’s meat cannot be honestly advertised as “beef” because it claims tests showed the meat was only 35% beef, not the 70% beef required by federal standards. “It’s mainly soy and oats, and there’s lots of other stuff in there that I don’t even know how to pronounce,” said attorney Dee Miles. Taco Bell responded quickly, saying their meat was “88% beef” and that they buy the same brand of beef sold in supermarkets — Tyson Foods. Oh well, that clears it all up, then. Tyson Foods. And what’s the other 12%? According to Taco Bell, it’s water, spices, oats, starch and “other ingredients” that the restaurant says contribute to the “quality” of its beef. Apparently, Taco Bell believes the way to enhance the quality of beef is to throw in things that are not beef. So what else might be found in that “other ingredients” category? A quick look at Taco Bell’s own website reveals the restaurant uses all the following ingredients in its various menu offerings: • Autolyzed Yeast Extract (which contains MSG, an excitotoxin) • Red #40, Blue #1, Yellow #6 artificial colors • Corn syrup solids • Partially Hydrogenated Corn Oil • Soy Protein • Propylene Glycol Alginate • Dimethylpolysiloxane (an anti-foaming chemical) Source: http://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/ingredientstatement Are you seriously eating at Taco Bell? If you’re eating at Taco Bell, there’s not something wrong with their meat… there’s something wrong with your head. Even if Taco Bell’s beef is 100% beef, it’s still conventional beef from cows that are processed in factory farm operations (rather than open-range grass-fed cows). The soy ingredients used in Taco Bell foods are almost certainly GMO soy in origin. The other chemicals such as dimethylpolysiloxane make their foods sound more like chemical concoctions than real food. Then again, Taco Bell beef is probably no worse than any other fast food restaurant. These junk food chains all exist at the fringes of the very definition of “food” . What they serve is more like PHUD. In fact, in some ways Taco Bell is actually far better than some other popular restaurants. Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), for example, uses monosodium glutamate across a huge percentage of its menu items. And they advertise their fried chicken as “fresh!” (How is it fresh if it’s fried? The claim makes no sense…) Suddenly we care about food quality at Taco Bell? But seriously, the bigger issue here isn’t Taco Bell’s meat ingredients as much as it is Americans’ dietary complacency: If you eat at Taco Bell, you don’t CARE what you’re eating. Why should it matter if it’s meat, or soy, or even recycled rat turds? The very fact that somebody is eating at Taco Bell already establishes they’re not very interested in the purity, origins and nutritional potency of the foods they consume. If a guy walked up to me, for example, and showed me a Taco Bell beef burrito and complained, “Dude, I’m not sure if this is real beef! What do you think is the problem here?” Then I would pause, examine the burrito carefully, then reply, “The problem is… you’re a moron! ” Since when did people ever read the ingredients of the food they buy at Taco Bell anyway? I guess reading ingredients lists is just too complicated these days That’s the glaring contradiction in all this, frankly. Of all these people sounding the alert over Taco Bell’s beef, how many of them ever read the ingredients of the food they buy at Taco Bell in the first place? How many read ingredients at ANY restaurant? How many read the ingredients of the foods they buy at the grocery store? How many consider whether their favorite restaurants are cooking their food on toxic nonstick cookware? The answer is virtually none . Because if mainstream America actually read (and understood) the chemicals going into the foods they buy every single day — like bacon, sausage, canned soups and processed foods — there would be an overnight food revolt that would make Taco Bell’s beef burrito issue seem irrelevant. Because Taco Bell’s ingredient list isn’t any worse than what you find in canned soups at your grocery store right now. And if you really want to find some toxic foods, look into the children’s frozen food section where you’ll find some of the most obnoxious and damaging chemicals of all, including sodium nitrite which causes cancer, and artificial colors which are derived from coal tars. I recently produced and posted a mini-documentary video showing how blueberries are faked in many mainstream food products, including cereals from General Mills and Kellogg’s. You can watch that video at www.FoodInvestigations.com Nobody seemed to go berserk over that. Fake blueberries are acceptable to mainstream consumers, it seems. But fake beef? Oh, now that’s messin’ with the food supply! Eat up, America! The beef in your burrito is no more fake than the idea that the FDA-approved processed dead food supply is somehow good for your health. By the way, you’re also paying for your fake food using fake money being counterfeited by the Federal Reserve faster than you can say, “genetically modified soybean filler material.”

Banned toxic chemicals found in 100 percent of pregnant women – new study

(NaturalNews) A new study from the University of California, San Francisco reveals that 100 percent of expectant mothers (sample size = 268) are contaminated with highly toxic synthetic chemicals. The study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives , concluded, “Certain PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PFCs, phenols, PBDEs, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perchlorate were detected in 99 to 100% of pregnant women.” These chemicals are known to exhibit various harmful effects on human biology, covering everything from neurological and infertility problems to cancer and hormonal disorders. Many of the chemicals found in these women have been banned for not just years, but decades . The poisoning of our bodies by chemical companies Where do all these chemicals come from? Pesticides are sprayed on crops, of course, and the new so-called “Food Safety” bill passed by Congress does absolutely nothing to reduce pesticide levels of food (that’s not part of their definition of “safety,” apparently). In addition, S.510 actually places a new burden on U.S. farmers, shifting the competitive advantage to food importations from countries where the most toxic pesticides are still legal to use. (Yes, farms outside the U.S. can spray DDT on their crops, then import them into the USA for consumption.) Phthalates are chemical plasticizers . Pharmaceutical pills are often coated with phthalates to give them a shiny finish. They’re also used in children’s toys, medical devices, personal care products, sunscreens and even sex toys. On the personal care side, phthalates are found in perfumes, eye shadow, liquid soap, nail polish and hair spray (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2677823/?tool=pmcentrez). Phthalates are known as “endocrine disruptors” because they interfere with normal endocrine system function — potentially leading to obesity and birth defects (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalates#Endocrine_disruption). Perchlorate , also known as the “rocket fuel chemical,” is used in the manufacture of automobile airbags and other vehicle parts. It’s also present in many fireworks, and is frequently found contaminating the water supply. We could go on with more details, but here’s the point: We live in a toxic stew of synthetic chemicals — chemicals that the plastics industry and the American Chemistry Council tend to say are all completely harmless, of course. The FDA allows thousands of other chemicals to be used in food and personal care products, and the processed food manufacturers inject an alarming array of toxic chemicals into their foods (and food packaging materials). The average U.S. consumer bathes their clothing in extremely toxic fabric softeners and perfumed laundry detergents that make them smell like walking fragrance factories. The exhaust air from dryer vents even pollutes the air in residential neighborhoods and apartment buildings. With all this going on, is anybody really surprised that 100% of pregnant women are contaminated with toxic chemicals? The Roman Empire poisoned itself with lead in the water supply. The American empire has decided to poison itself with the “miracle of modern chemistry” as found in all the pesticides, plasticizers, additives, preservatives and other chemicals that a typical first-world consumer poisons themselves with a thousand times a day. You just gotta love Proctor and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, Unilever and all the other consumer product companies using synthetic chemicals to manufacture personal care products. It is corporations like these, in my opinion, whose products are poisoning our bodies and contaminating our world with dangerous synthetic chemicals. That’s why I personally refuse to buy any products manufactured by such companies. Ten powerful ways to protect yourself from toxic chemicals If you want to protect yourself from these toxic chemicals, here’s how to do it: #1) Don’t put anything on your skin you wouldn’t eat! Avoid all mainstream consumer skin care, cosmetics and personal care products, period! Need soap? Try natural, organic brands like Dr Bronner’s, AnnMarie Gianni or Pangea Organics. #2) Don’t eat foods made with chemicals you can’t pronounce. Read the ingredients labels. If the list of ingredients is too long and complex to figure out, it’s probably made more with chemicals than actual food. #3) Don’t poison your body with over-the-counter drugs or prescription pharmaceuticals. If you do need to use medication for short-term emergency use, be sure to detoxify your liver afterwards. #4) Detox your liver, kidneys and colon at least once a year. You can do this with a juice fast combined with detox supplements such as those offered by www.GlobalHealingCenter.com or www.BaselineNutritionals.com (get professional guidance from a naturopath before fasting). #5) Drink more water. Most people simply don’t consume enough water to effectively remove toxins from their bodies. If you don’t like water by itself, drink fresh vegetable juices such as celery or cucumber juice (which are actually structured water). #6) Cleanse your body with parsley, alfalfa, red clover, chlorella or chlorophyll. All these substances can help cleanse your body and eliminate toxic substances that may be detrimental to your health. #7) Don’t fill your home or apartment with products that off-gas toxic chemicals: Air fresheners, perfumed candles, particle board furniture, carpets, glues, etc. #8) Don’t cook on non-stick cookware. These are the worst! Invest in quality copper-clad stainless steel pans and use those. They’ll last a lifetime and they don’t contaminate your body with chemicals. Don’t eat at restaurants that use non-stick cookware. (That’s just about every restaurant in the world, it seems…) #9) Buy certified organic products. In the USA, the USDA Organic Seal is a trusted seal that genuinely indicates organic quality (both in foods and personal care products). Don’t be fooled by brand names that use the word “organics” in their name but aren’t really organic. For example, “Bob’s Organics” may or may not actually be organic. The Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org) can keep you posted on what’s what. #10) Get the cancer out of your laundry! Stop washing your clothes in toxic brand-name laundry detergents, and stop using brand-name fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Do you have any idea what chemicals are used in those products? The truth would astonish you. And, of course, keep reading NaturalNews.com to stay up to speed on what’s really good for you versus things that actually threaten your health. There is absolutely no question that the average chemical contamination of NaturalNews readers is far below that of typical American consumers. Stay healthy by staying informed. Don’t become another contaminated victim of the chemical industry.
