Sodium benzoate is a preservative that promotes cancer and kills healthy cells

(NaturalNews) Organic consumers and nutritionists may already know, but the rest of the general population does not know about sodium benzoate. It has the ability to deprive the cells of oxygen, break down the immune system and cause cancer. This killer is flying under consumer radar with its user friendly tag line, “as a preservative.” This silent cell choker has found its way into thousands of products, even foods that are labeled as all natural . But don’t be fooled. While benzoic acid is found naturally in low levels in many fruits, the sodium benzoate listed on a product’s label is synthesized in a lab . Derived from a reaction of benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide, sodium benzoate is actually the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Sodium benzoate is a known carcinogenic additive which, when eaten or applied to the skin, gets transported to the liver, where it is supposed to be filtered , and expelled in urine, but the damage gets done before that process is completed. Sodium benzoate chokes out your body’s nutrients at the DNA cellular level by depriving mitochondria cells of oxygen, sometimes completely shutting them down. Just as humans need oxygen to breathe, cells need oxygen to function properly and to fight off infection, including cancer . The FDA says it’s safe because the amount used to preserve foods is very low, but don’t ever combine it with vitamin C or E, as this causes benzene to be formed. This is dangerous. Benzene is a known carcinogen, which means it causes cancer. Okay, so this should be easy. Never, ever mix vitamin C with pickles, peppers, salad dressings, jams, most condiments, vinegar, fruit juices, salsa, dips, shredded cheese, ketchup, or diet or regular soda. Don’t forget about mouthwash, toothpaste, cough syrup, cream, lotion, and hundreds of cosmetic products. So now why is it put in food? It’s the cheapest mold inhibiter on the market, so it’s all about the money. Acidic foods tend to grow bacteria, mold and yeast more easily than non-acidic foods, so the sodium benzoate extends the shelf life, while it shortens human life . Cancer is all about the cumulative effect. When the human body is exposed repeatedly to any level of this carcinogen, which rears its ugly head in thousands of products, the immune system, over time, is depleted to the point that one acquires an immune deficiency. Then the body does not have enough essential nutrients to detoxify, and this occurs at the cellular level. Parkinson’s, neuro-degenerative diseases, and premature aging have all been attributed to this infamous preservative .

Green tea alters gene expression to improve cholesterol metabolism

(NaturalNews) Green tea consumption has been shown to benefit many health issues ranging from help with weight management to cancer prevention and treatment. New research published in the British Journal of Nutrition explains that the natural extract from the Camellia sinensis plant has a powerful effect on cholesterol metabolism in the human body. Most forward thinking health professionals understand that dysfunction in the LDL cholesterol pathway lays the foundation for cardiovascular health problems, cancer and fatty liver disease. Regular green tea consumption is now shown to improve healthy LDL cholesterol function, enabling the fatty molecule to efficiently usher excess cholesterol from the body and to improve risk factors for many chronic disease conditions. In one of the first studies of its type, researchers performed DNA microarray analysis to examine the effect of the active compound found in green tea called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Scientists specifically targeted the catechin to determine their effect on cholesterol metabolism in HepG2 hepatocytes. They determined that the expression levels of several genes related to cholesterol metabolism, including the LDL receptor, were changed by EGCG treatment. EGCG was found to boost the function of the LDL receptor on liver cells. Researchers commented “This is very important as proper function of the LDL receptor enables your liver to “capture” circulating LDL and recycle it.” In this study, green tea is shown to alter gene expression toward healthy LDL cholesterol metabolism by improving receptor acceptance by the liver. The liver displays an improved capacity to capture and filter LDL cholesterol for removal from the body. In addition to the finding that green tea alters LDL cholesterol metabolism, ECGC was found to inhibit genes to reduce the production of Apolipoprotein B (ApoB). ApoB formation is required to initially form LDL molecules in the blood. Excess production of ApoB is a significant marker for chronic illnesses ranging from cardiovascular disease and heart attack to increased risk of cancer and dementia. Green tea and the active compound EGCG are quickly ascending to nutritional “superstar” status. The Chinese have extolled its virtues for countless generations. Researchers now document the prowess of this nutrient by scientifically validating the direct impact exerted on our genetic structure to affect healthy cholesterol function and removal from the body. The healthy benefits of green tea are realized by drinking several fresh brewed cups of organically harvested leaves each day or by supplementing with 250 to 500 mg of EGCG extract.

Ensure you are not deficient in this critical nutrient vitamin B12

(NaturalNews) One of the most critical but overlooked vitamins in the world is vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body. It is crucial for processes such as DNA synthesis and energy production. B12 deficiencies are a hidden epidemic in our society. Boost your energy and mental clarity with high quality sources of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is very critical for neurological, cardiovascular, digestive, and immunological function. Together, B12 and folic acid reduce the metabolic end-product homocysteine. This pathway is responsible for the body’s entire sulfur-based detoxification system. With normal amounts of folic acid and B12 the body is able to convert homocysteine into glutathione and SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine). Folic acid and B12 deficiencies cause the body to produce less glutathione and elevated unmetabolized homocysteine. This is a red flag warning sign of elevated inflammation and tissue degeneration. Vitamin B12 deficiencies are associated with chronic diseases. B12 deficiencies lead to high homocysteine which is a strong risk factor in cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Mood disorders such as depression and bipolar are very much associated with B12 deficiencies. Researchers found that a diet deficient in folate, B12, and B6 caused cognitive dysfunction and a significant reduction in the length and density of brain capillaries. Many researchers believe that the standard American tests that measure serum B12 levels are far too low. In America, B12 deficiency is evidenced as a serum level below 200 pg/ml (145 pM). In Japan, a deficiency is found in levels under 550 pg/ml (400pM). Most B12 researchers and advanced functional nutritionists agree with the Japanese model. About 10% of the population appears to have normal serum B12; however, their bioavailable B12 is reduced. The telling sign of this is elevated homocysteine and methylmalonic acid despite normal folic acid, B6, and B12 levels. Vitamin B12 deficiencies are common in people who have used medications for a period of time. The medications most commonly associated with B12 deficiencies include a popular diabetes drug, antacids, anti-ulcers, blood pressure and cholesterol meds, and birth control pills. If you have ever taken any of these medications it is imperative to check your B12 levels and supplement if necessary. One population group that is especially vulnerable to B12 deficiencies are strict vegans. The most bioavailable form of B12 is found in animal products. Many vegans use blue-green algae as a form of B12. The algae forms are called pseudo -B12 because they are active in tests but do not have the same human biological activity. The best sources of B12 are found in organic meat and eggs. Be sure to find humanely raised, grass-fed sources of these meat products. Vitamin B12 is a very large molecule compared to other vitamins and requires an enzyme called intrinsic factor to metabolize effectively. High stress, infections, antacids and other medications deplete intrinsic factor. Without adequate intrinsic factor the body cannot effectively metabolize b12 and deficiencies will occur over time. It is estimated that 60% of Americans over the age of 50 and 90% over the age of 70 do not produce enough intrinsic factor and are currently dealing with some level of b12 deficiency. For many individuals B12 supplementation is a necessity. The large size of the molecule also makes supplementation a challenge. The most effective delivery system is through microscopic droplets of B12 that come in a fine mist that gets sprayed into the mouth. It is good to take 1-2mg a day in this form. This system does not depend on the presence of intrinsic factor in the gut and is much easier, cost-effective and significantly safer than B12 injections. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency http://www.tacanow.org/family-resources/methyl-b12-a-treatment-for-asd-with-methylation-issues/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12

Obama tells farmer no need to worry about government over-regulation of agriculture

(NaturalNews) During a town hall meeting yesterday, when an Illinois farmer told President Obama he was concerned about upcoming regulations regarding the Food Safety Modernization Act and would rather be farming than “filling out forms and permits,” Obama had choice words to offer in reply: “Don’t always believe what you hear.” For once, Obama has told the truth. “Don’t always believe what you hear” should be the rally cry for all the farmers, raw dairy producers and consumers harmed by government actions taking place under the Obama administration — actions which can only be called war against the People and crimes against nature. It was Obama’s USDA, for example, that approved genetically modified alfalfa to be openly planted everywhere, thereby contaminating non-GMO alfalfa crops with DNA pollution that’s impossible to remove from the harvest (http://www.naturalnews.com/031196_GE_alfalfa_GMOs.html). This is the same USDA that also recently said it would do nothing to halt the release of GMO yard grass seeds into the marketplace (http://www.naturalnews.com/033022_Scotts_Miracle-Gro_GMO_seeds.html). Because of that decision, by the Spring of 2012, we could see genetically engineered lawns spouting up in neighborhoods all across America, where they will be frequently sprayed with toxic Roundup herbicide chemicals. It was under President Obama that the FDA masterminded the recent armed raids on American raw dairy farmers by bringing a SWAT team to an L.A. food distribution center (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Rawesome_Foods_armed_raids.html). There, under the watchful eye of federal government thugs, agents proceeded to pour all the milk down the drain then seize and destroy tens of thousands of dollars worth of cheese, watermelons, mangos and other valuable food (http://www.naturalnews.com/033225_Rawesome_Foods_photos.html). Obama, of course, could have stopped this outrageous incarceration of raw dairy farmers at any time, but he stood back and said nothing. Perhaps he was too busy going on vacation (http://www.prisonplanet.com/trump-obama-takes-more-vacations-than-any-human-being-ive-ever-seen.html) to take any meaningful action trying to protect American farmers from gun-toting government tyrants. It was under Obama’s watch that Michigan gardener Julie Bass was threatened with 93 days of jail time for growing tomatoes in her own front yard (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_Julie_Bass_home_gardening.html). While this wasn’t a federal case (it was drummed up by local tyrants who run the city of Oak Park), Obama could have easily intervened with a national message about “the freedom to garden.” Where was Michelle Obama on this point in particular? The President’s wife can grow a garden on the White House lawn, but a mom in Oak Park Michigan can’t do the same on her own private property? Insane. It’s only going to get worse as the FDA gains more power under the FSMA Just watch as the Food Safety Modernization Act really kicks in, folks, because that’s when Obama’s words will really ring true: “Don’t always believe what you hear.” For starters, all the official talk about this food safety act claimed that small farms and growers would be exempted from the new FDA regulations. This, of course, is a complete lie: No commercial grower is exempt from the act. Small farms must apply to be granted an FDA exemption from only two provisions of the bill, and even that exemption is only offered at the pleasure of the King (the FDA). (http://www.naturalnews.com/030808_food_safety_bill_American_farmers.html) Secondly, the FDA’s view on “safe food” is perverted to begin with. The FDA admittedly believes that the only safe food is dead food . Anything that’s pasteurized, fumigated or irradiated is made safer, according to the FDA; but “live” foods are all considered dangerous and even pathogenic! An FDA spokesperson recently told the New York Times that drinking raw milk would cause children to become “paraplegics.” This is an example of precisely the kind of disinformation fear tactics campaign the FDA is waging against producers of raw or unprocessed foods. According to the FDA, Americans should be eating dead foods while taking patented prescription medications to cover any symptoms that might appear from malnutrition. The FDA is on the record stating that there is no such thing as any food, plant or herb that has any biological function whatsoever for treating, curing or preventing any disease! (http://www.naturalnews.com/029698_censorship_FDA.html) It is this kind of nutritional insanity that the Obama administration has unleashed upon America’s agricultural industry with the Food Safety Modernization Act, which only emboldens the FDA with more power — power that will be used to destroy nutrition in America and wipe out providers of healthful food products. Where is Obama on the biggest agricultural issue of the century? If you really want to revitalize agriculture in America, legalize hemp farming . That single action would pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the hands of farmers and turn the USA into a huge producer of hemp seeds, hemp oils, hemp fibers and other valuable hemp products. Even though Obama promised to move on this issue during his campaign, he has done absolutely nothing to push for legalizing hemp farming in America. The farmers be damned! No President can credibly claim to support American agriculture if they aren’t pushing for the total legalization of hemp farming. (It’s legal in Canada. So why do we import all those hemp products from Canada when we could be growing them in the United States?) On this issue — just as with ending wars, closing down Gitmo, pushing for medical marijuana legalization and just about everything else the political left has been pushing for — Obama has been a disappointing failure. But wait, there’s more! Get ready for the FDA to go Nazi on the nation Thanks to the Obama administration’s push for the Food Safety Modernization Act, we will soon see an army of FDA agents sweeping across America, ransacking organic gardens, pillaging raw dairy producers, vandalizing local food distributors and intimidating innocent farmers at gunpoint, using tactics that can only be called acts of terrorism . Any who refuse to comply with the FDA’s new tyrannical rules will be arrested and handcuffed while their inventory is destroyed and their offices ransacked. FDA agents are on the record stealing cash and computers, seizing business records, confiscating customer email lists and addresses, then forcing to these very same businesses to pay for the FDA’s own surprise inspections just to make sure they’re still obeying orders (http://www.naturalnews.com/033280_FDA_raids_timeline.html). These are the actions of a government-run terrorist organization , and these actions are being conducted with a nod and wink from the Obama administration which actually went out of its way to push for giving the FDA even more power and more money! No more Bushes or Obamas, please… Even though Obama was elected under the banner of “hope” for real change, it turns out this President is a pro-war, pro-GMO, pro secret prisons, pro Federal Reserve president who repeatedly seeks to expand the power of the very same government regulators that are terrorizing innocent Americans right now. Only Presidential candidate Ron Paul dares point out the outrageous abuses of freedom being pursued by the FDA today. In this interview on CNN, he called out the U.S. government for denying people the freedom to “drink raw milk”: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=00F7C086AFAB902425583F5567988F88 So stop putting your misplaced faith in the latest fad Democrat or Republican, folks. What we need in America is leadership based on PRINCIPLE . There’s only one candidate who stands on principle, which is why he’s being lambasted by the totally corrupt press: His name is Ron Paul. Ron Paul stands for legalizing hemp and medical marijuana , ending FDA tyranny in America, protecting our rights to buy and sell raw milk , ending the completely corrupt EPA and restoring liberty and freedom to America. I don’t agree with Ron Paul on every single thing, but when it comes to 2012, there’s no other candidate that even comes close to the honesty, integrity and liberty-loving actions of this man. If he’s not on the ballet, I won’t even vote! Because let’s face it: Bush was a war-mongering psychopath. Obama is an inept corporate sellout. And Rick Perry — God forbid he should somehow end up on the ballot — is a Big Pharma lackey who pushes vaccines onto little children. There’s only one choice who makes any sense at all to those who believe in liberty, freedom and a restoring of commonsense principles in America: www.RonPaul2012.com Left and Right Unite! Forget the partisan politics. It’s ultimately about freedom, folks. And only Ron Paul has the courage to defend and preserve it.

New NASA images show what appears to be liquid water on Mars

(NaturalNews) Images recently captured by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter undoubtedly illustrate the strongest evidence yet that the “Red Planet” likely contains liquid water, and potentially even life forms of some sort. Topping previous speculation linked to suggestive observation that frozen water may exist under Mars’ rock and sand formations, the new discovery suggests that during the planet’s warmer months, liquid water actually comes up from the ground and flows on its surface. “If the features identified, recurring slope lineae (RSL), can be confirmed to represent briny flows, this would be a very significant finding,” stated Christopher Carr, a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who is building a device to detect DNA and RNA on Mars. “It wouldn’t dramatically change our understanding of present-day Mars as generally cold and dry, but it would be important to the search for life on Mars.” NASA’s website contains a time-lapse image of the apparent RSL, which researchers believe are gradual trickles of salty water each spanning about half a yard wide and hundreds of yards long. You can view that image here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/multimedia/pia14472.html Most exploration and research of Mars has been undertaken with the assumption that life may have existed there in the past. But the new observation of liquid water flow during the spring and summer months may indicate that life exists on Mars right now, say scientists. And if this is the case, the next step may be to send manned missions, rather than just unmanned robot missions, to Mars. “That there is water on the surface means that explorers could go to Mars and potentially find extant life on the surface of Mars,” said Robert Zubrin, president and founder of the Mars Society, to SPACE.com. “It underscores the reason why Mars should be the target for human exploration. You’re not going to find life on the moon, you’re not going to find life on an asteroid. We need to send human explorers to the complex environments where the complex skills of human beings are actually useful.” Sources for this story include: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/08/04/nasa-finds-evidence-of-liquid-water-on-mars/ http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/10/scitech/main20090617.shtml

UK government to save DNA profiles of innocent people, civil liberties groups speak out

(NaturalNews) If you are arrested in the UK on suspicion that you may have committed a crime but are later proven innocent, your DNA profile will still remain within government databases, according to a new report in The Daily Telegraph . After previously promising that it would destroy all DNA profiles of innocent civilians, except when charges involve violence or sex crimes, the UK government has now decided that it will keep such profiles after all, but do so “anonymously.” DNA profiles are encrypted numeric sequences that identify individuals within a database system. Law enforcement agencies use DNA profiles to easily identify individuals for the purpose of parental testing or criminal investigation. But UK officials want to retain all DNA profiles of individuals that are taken into custody, regardless of whether or not they actually committed a crime. The government’s excuse for breaching its promise in the matter is that retained profiles will supposedly be categorized anonymously. However, the UK’s Home Office minister James Brokenshire openly admitted that it is possible to identify the profiles through simple laboratory analysis, which many civil liberties groups say is absolutely unacceptable. “Members of the committee will be aware that most DNA records … will include the original barcode, which is used by both the police and the FSS [Forensic Science Service] to track the sample and resulting profile through the system,” said Brokenshire before the UK Parliament. “It is therefore theoretically possible that a laboratory could identify an individual’s profile from the barcode, but only in conjunction with the force which took the original sample, by giving details of the barcode of the force and asking for the individual’s name.” In other words, the system is anything but anonymous, as it would be quite simple for local police departments to identify an “anonymous” profile by matching barcodes with their corresponding information sets. “This is disgraceful on the part of the government,” said Daniel Hamilton, director of the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, to the Telegraph . “Destroying physical DNA samples is a pointless gesture if the computer records are to be retained.” Sources for this story include: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8660821/Innocent-peoples-DNA-profiles-wont-be-deleted-after-all-minister-admits.html

AIDS drugs linked to premature aging, dementia, and heart disease

(NaturalNews) A study recently published in the journal Nature Genetics explains that nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, or NRTIs, which are drugs used primarily in Africa and other developing regions of the world to treat HIV and AIDS, are responsible for causing heart disease, dementia, premature aging, and other age-related illnesses. Originally introduced in the late 1980s, many NRTIs have since been replaced in developed countries by newer, and much more expensive, antiretroviral drug cocktails that may be just as damaging. But the older NRTIs are still being used on the poor with HIV and AIDS, and their devastating side effects are only just now beginning to be realized. “It takes time for these side effects to become apparent, so there is a question mark about the future and whether or not the newer drugs will cause this problem,” said Patrick Chinnery, lead author of the study from the Institute of Genetic Medicine at Newcastle University, to Reuters in a telephone interview. “They are probably less likely to, but we don’t know because we haven’t had time to see.” Scientists observed that the chemical compounds in NRTIs damage DNA in patients’ mitochondria, which are the power producers for cells. When these important structural elements become harmed or destroyed, they are unable to produce energy for cells, which can lead to a host of health problems and eventually death. “The DNA in our mitochondria gets copied throughout our lifetimes and, as we age, naturally accumulates errors,” added Chinnery. “We believe these HIV drugs accelerate the rate at which these errors build up. So over the space of, say, ten years, a person’s mitochondrial DNA may have accumulated the same amount of errors as a person who has naturally aged 20 or 30 years.” The findings illustrate the general fact that the unknown, long-term dangers associated with all types of drugs have not been properly identified. Because NRTIs and most other drugs have never been tested for long-term side effects, it is highly likely that a great majority of them will eventually be identified as damaging in much the same way as NRTIs.

US government caught in fake vaccination program harvesting DNA from civilians to target terrorists

(NaturalNews) An investigation by The Guardian reveals that CIA agents organized a fake vaccination scheme to harvest DNA from innocent civilians as part of a secret intelligence operation. The scheme was carried out in the town of Abbottabad, where Bin Laden’s family was believed to be hiding. And the purpose of the vaccination scheme was to acquire the DNA of Bin Laden family members in order to identify where Bin Laden was hiding (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/11/cia-fake-vaccinations-osama-bin-ladens-dna). This is the first time the mainstream media has gone public with a story admitting that vaccines are used as weapons of war , and it proves that vaccination programs sometimes have nothing to do with public health at all (and everything to do with killing people, which was the entire purpose of locating Bin Laden). How could taking DNA samples from civilians help the CIA determine where Bin Laden’s family was located? Because they already had DNA samples from Bin Laden’s sister who died in Boston in 2010. With that DNA sample in hand, it is a simple matter to determine which other samples are genetically related and then zero in on the desired target. Vaccines used to covertly harvest DNA without consent It also shows that vaccinations can be used to harvest DNA without the knowledge of the vaccine recipients. This isn’t even new: The U.S. government openly admitted in 2007 that it harvests the DNA of newborn babies and keeps a “DNA database” of nearly all newborns (http://www.prisonplanet.com/newborns-dna-routinely-harvested-for-government-bio-banks.html). It’s all described in a law called The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1858) which mandates that blood samples from newborns be harvested in order to extract DNA information which is held by the U.S. government. This is all done without parental consent. Hospitals do this secretly and quietly, not raising any alerts or questions over the practice. Most parents have no idea the blood of their baby is being secretly held by the U.S. government. But now we see something far worse: The setting up of a fake vaccination drive whose purpose was solely to harvest DNA in order to track the location of an individual slated to be murdered by the U.S. government. According to The Guardian , the CIA agents even launched the fake vaccination scheme in a poor part of town just to make it look real. They also canvassed the town with vaccination posters that encouraged people to go get vaccinated. A Pakistani doctor named Shakil Afridi was reportedly recruited by the CIA to conduct the vaccination campaign, lending it medical authority and invoking the public’s trust in doctors to trick them into giving up their DNA as part of a wartime intelligence operation. This program was conducted in total violation of medical ethics , using a doctor and a fictitious vaccination program to trick people into giving up their DNA — a blatant violation of human rights as well as international law. This proves that so-called “medicine” can be used as a cover story to conduct illicit government operations with the sole purpose of ending life , not protecting life. Keep that in mind the next time you consider having a needle jabbed in your arm that the government says is “perfectly safe” for you. That’s what they told the children in Pakistan, too. Fake vaccination operations are routinely carried out for a variety of reasons Fake vaccination pushes have, of course, been routinely conducted in the USA to sell vaccine inventories that the government purchased from vaccine manufacturers. For example, even when the risk of the H5N1 swine flu was extraordinarily low, and when the vaccine itself showed near-zero efficacy in actually preventing infections, the CDC was aggressively promoting vaccination campaigns across the nation in order to get more people to buy vaccines that didn’t even work (http://www.naturalnews.com/swine_flu.html). There is also strong evidence that vaccine programs are used around the world right now as a way to reduce the population through chemically-induced infertility. Bill Gates, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to vaccine programs in developing nations, openly describes vaccines as part of an effort to “lower [the population] by 10 or 15 percent.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html) Watch Bill Gates explain this in his own words, in a live audience presentation that’s viewable at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A155D113455FAC882A3290536575C723 Notice a pattern? What’s really interesting about all the news coming out lately is what we’re learning about our own government: • Through operation Fast and Furious , the U.S. government actively armed Mexican drug gangs with thousands of firearms for the purpose of causing gun violence in America (http://www.naturalnews.com/032934_ATF_illegal_firearms.html). This scam has blown up in the face of U.S. federal officials, and even comedian Jon Stewart exposed the utter ridiculousness of this whole scam in a hilarious comedy bit: http://www.youtube.com/user/oversightandreform?blend=2&ob=5#p/u/0/MvLU7ob7mwA • It is now admitted that the U.S. government conducted illegal medical experiments on Guatemalan citizens. President Obama was recently forced to apologize for the inhumane experimentation after the facts surrounding the practice become publicly known (http://www.naturalnews.com/029924_medical_experiments_Guatemala.html). In truth, even Jonas Salk, the famous inventor of the polio vaccine, was actually engaged in illegal medical experiments conducted on mental patients (http://www.naturalnews.com/031564_Jonas_Salk_medical_experiments.html). • The DEA is well known to actually distribute narcotics as a way to keep enough drugs on the street to justify their own existence. The DEA also routinely ignores state law and conducts armed raids on legal, licensed medical marijuana facilities that are merely providing natural medicine to help ease suffering in patients (http://www.naturalnews.com/021501.html). • Now through the CIA, the U.S. government faked a city-wide vaccination campaign for the sole purpose of harvesting DNA in order to track down someone they wanted to kill. How can you trust a government that actively works against you? So here’s the question: How do you know that vaccination campaigns conducted in the USA aren’t being used to harvest your DNA for some nefarious purpose? How do you know federal agents aren’t working against your interests and causing gun violence in America? How can you trust that vaccines aren’t being used for some secret, dark purpose that hasn’t been made public yet? The answer is that you can’t know for sure whether any vaccination program is actually being conducted for a medical purpose versus some other secret government agenda. The idea that the U.S. government staged fake vaccination programs as an act of war is no longer a bizarre conspiracy theory: It’s a documented historical fact! And if they can pull it off in Pakistan, there’s no reason why they can’t do the same thing in St. Louis, or Sante Fe, or Cleveland. I do not trust the federal government on anything — and especially not on anything that matters such as the national debt, the economy, health care or public health services. The government is not primarily a provider of essential services as is widely believed. Rather, it is actively plotting against the American people through one evil campaign after another: The Wall Street bailouts, the mass expansion of money creation that devalues all our hard-earned dollars, the War in Iraq fiasco, the Fast and Furious operation that has unleashed thousands of firearms into the hands of drug gang members, the continued (inexcusable) approval of GMOs by the USDA, the betrayal of U.S. health by the FDA, and on and on. The examples just never end. Time and time again, the U.S. government has proven itself to be aligned against the freedoms, rights and even the good health of the American people . So the next time your government (CDC, FDA, etc.) tells you to go get vaccinated, think twice about the DNA harvesting operation in Pakistan. Think hard about the true motives of your government, and start asking questions about WHY the population is being so strongly coerced into taking certain actions such as receiving vaccine shots or signing up for mammograms (or psychiatric disorder screening). Virtually every government program that’s advertised as being beneficial to you actually has an alternative agenda that seeks to exploit you, entrap you or otherwise trick you into giving up your money, your freedoms or your health. Big Government doesn’t even pretend to serve the People anymore, it turns out. Government agents don’t consider themselves servants, but rulers! They demand your obedience and your conformity.

BPA plastics chemical found to feminize males

(NaturalNews) Don’t worry, be happy. Just ignore the fact that countless researchers have warned time and time again that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA for short) is a major hormone disruptor and is a huge threat to human health. After all, we must all be safe because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would have banned the stuff long before now if there was really any problem, right? If you agree with the above, you might also think the deadly radiation still spewing from nuclear reactor meltdowns in Japan is nothing to worry about, either. But the truth is always better than sticking your head in the sand, and this is exactly what the FDA seems to be doing when it comes to BPA. Here’s the latest breaking news on what has become an environmental nightmare for both humans and possibly wildlife while the FDA does nothing but express “some concern” that BPA might not be perfectly safe. University of Missouri researchers have evidence that BPA causes male deer mice to lose their masculinity and behave more like females. In fact, female mice sense something isn’t quite “right” about BPA exposed males and don’t want to mate with them. The scientists conclude that exposure to BPA during human development could also be wreaking havoc on hormones and distorting and disrupting behavioral and cognitive traits that are unique to each sex and important in reproduction. “The BPA-exposed deer mice in our study look normal; there is nothing obviously wrong with them. Yet, they are clearly different,” said Cheryl Rosenfeld, associate professor in biomedical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and investigator in the Bond Life Sciences Center, in a statement to the media. “Females do not want to mate with BPA-exposed male deer mice, and BPA-exposed males perform worse on spatial navigation tasks that assess their ability to find female partners in the wild.” “This study sets the stage for BPA researchers to examine how BPA might differentially impact the behavioral and cognitive patterns of boys versus girls,” Rosenfeld added. “Investigators looking for obvious BPA-induced differences, such as chromosome deletions or DNA mutations, could be missing subtle behavioral differences that eventually lead to long-term adverse outcomes, including demasculinization of male behaviors with a decreased reproductive fitness.” For the new study, the researchers fed female deer mice a BPA-supplemented diet for two weeks prior to breeding and throughout lactation. The mothers were given a dosage equivalent to what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers a non-toxic dose for pregnant women to ingest. When the deer mice offspring were weaned at 25 days of age, they were fed on a non-supplemented BPA diet. Then, after the rodents matured into adults, their behavior was tested to study each mouse’s ability to navigate a maze to safety. Male deer mice normally have an enhanced spatial navigational ability. It’s important because it allows them to find female mates that are dispersed throughout the environment. Female deer mice do not need to search for mates so their navigational abilities have not been enhanced by evolution. But when the University of Missouri researchers tested the navigational skills of male mice that had been exposed to BPA early in their development, something was terribly wrong. Each male mouse had two five minute opportunities per day, for seven days, to try to find their way in to a home cage through one of several holes placed around the edge of an open maze. What’s more, the maze was marked with a set of visible navigational cues to help the animals. Yet many of them could not find the exit. On the other hand, all the male mice who had not been exposed to BPA found the correct exit quickly – some on the first day. Adding to the strong evidence that the BPA dramatically changed the ability of the male mice to navigate normally, the scientists found that the non-BPA exposed mice quickly learned the most direct approach to finding the correct hole, while the exposed males appeared to sort of randomly and inefficiently wander around looking. The female deer mice also were turned off by potential mates who had been exposed to BPA. In a mate choice experiment, the scientists measured the females’ level of interest in a stranger male by observing specific behaviors, such as nose-to-nose sniffing and the amount of time the female spent checking out her potential partner. According to Dr. Rosenfeld, both non-exposed and BPA-exposed females strongly preferred control males over BPA-exposed males. “These findings presumably have broad implications to other species, including humans, where there are also innate differences between males and females in cognitive and behavioral patterns,” Rosenfeld said in the media statement. “In the wide scheme of things, these behavioral deficits could, in the long term, undermine the ability of a species such as the deer mouse to reproduce in the wild. Whether there are comparable health threats to humans remains unclear, but there clearly must be a concern.” This research, which is set for publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , is the latest in a mounting and damning array of studies showing the dangers of BPA. For example, as NaturalNews has covered extensively, BPA has been found to cause precancerous conditions, kidney and developmental problems in animals. And research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that humans could be walking time bombs of health problems related to the ingestion of BPA, which is found in virtually all packaged foods. The JAMA study reported for the first time that the chemical might well be linked to the epidemic of heart disease and diabetes in this country (http://www.naturalnews.com/024207_BPA_health_plastics.html). Editor’s note: NaturalNews is opposed to the use of animals in medical experiments that expose them to harm. We present these findings in protest of the way in which they were acquired.

Claim: TSA employees now developing cancer clusters from standing near body scanner machines

(NaturalNews) In a new twist to the TSA saga to which we can only say, “We told ya so,” the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that reveal TSA employees are reporting “cancer clusters” among their own employees who work near radiation body scanners. At the same time, DHS refuses to issue dosimeters to TSA employees because, obviously, those dosimeters would indicate alarming levels of radiation exposure. So it’s better to just keep everyone ignorant and keep irradiating all the TSA employees and hope nobody notices, apparently. That TSA employees are giving themselves cancer by irradiating innocent travelers is perhaps the most striking bit of tragic justice we’ve yet seen in this entire fiasco. TSA agents commit felony crimes every single day against innocent travelers, molesting them, illegally detaining them and humiliating them as part of the “security screening” procedures. They’re also irradiating them with the naked body scanners that we all know Janet Napolitano openly lied about (http://www.naturalnews.com/032839_body_scanners_TSA.html). As a side effect of that irradiation effort, TSA employees are also irradiating themselves . Cancer, not surprisingly, will not be far behind. By the way, the best and most timely reporting on this subject is currently coming from Paul Joseph Watson at PrisonPlanet.com, who, together with Alex Jones leading the protests, has been hammering both the TSA and the Texas legislature over these criminal pat-downs (http://www.prisonplanet.com/cancer-surges-in-body-scanner-operators-tsa-launches-cover-up.html). In an age where nearly all mainstream journalism is little more than comedic shilling for Big Government, it’s refreshing to know that people like Watson are still pursuing the role of honest journalism that questions government’s lies (as in the Nixon era). Napolitano lied about safety of body scanners Why are the body scanners causing cancer clusters among TSA employees? As we reported yesterday, Janet Napolitano lied about the safety of the devices, claiming that NIST had “affirmed the safety” of them. NIST fired back an email that specifically explained NIST doesn’t test the safety of products at all! Ever! Therefore, all the claims that these devices were tested and confirmed as safe was complete B.S. from Napolitano. Just an outright lie. Not a shred of truth to be found. You see, when government has abandoned the truth as a matter of policy, it can only resort to lies to further its agenda. The truth no longer has any place in the U.S. government, where criminals and thugs simply make up whatever lies they want and then pass them off as “truth” to the press (which dutifully reports all government lies as truths). This is precisely the case with the TSA and these naked body scanners. It’s also the situation with the economy, the unemployment rate and the national debt, if you follow economic news. The American empire has become what the Roman Empire was right before its fall: A tragic cabal of professional thieves and liars who run the government and steal from the People. TSA employees fry their own genitals with radiation Now, even though the NIST did not test the safety of these machines, it did warn airport screeners to avoid standing next to them because the machines clearly emitted doses of radiation that could mutate DNA and cause cancer. The bulk of TSA employees, who we’ve already established are among the most intellectually-challenged individuals which are still somehow employable, don’t seem to care that they’re getting fried with radiation every day on the job. In fact, many TSA employees don’t even understand the laws of physics , as has been demonstrated over and over when they tell travelers truly idiotic things like, “There’s no radiation from these machines.” (True story. This is what one of our contributing writers was told by a TSA agent in Denver.) Gee, how do they think the machines work? Do they think they’re magic? Who needs radiation when you can just use magic to see through people! The one notable upshot from all this is the realization that TSA agents might experience so much DNA damage from standing next to those machines that they will be rendered completely infertile and therefore have no ability to reproduce. This, the scientists say, is called “natural selection.” Those best adapted to surviving will pass on their genes to the next generation, while those who fail to protect the integrity of their own DNA get removed from the human gene pool. I can’t think of a more appropriate example of natural selection in action. Darwin eats TSA agents as a mid-morning snack, it seems. So maybe those radiation machines do have a purpose after all… All kidding aside, there’s a kind of poetic justice in the idea that these agents who terrorize innocents will one day find themselves on the receiving end of a chemotherapy drip. It’s not that we wish suffering upon anyone, but this is a suffering they have brought upon themselves . At what point, I wonder, will the cancer-stricken TSA employees finally figure out the government is lying to THEM, too? That’s a realization shared by many veterans who sign up for military service with all sorts of patriotic enthusiasm and then one day realize the government has stolen their health benefits and abandoned their needs. Such is the result of naive faith in a government that couldn’t care less about the people it claims to serve. Well, heck, I’m not even sure the government continues that “serving the people” cover story anymore. Now, the government openly claims to be the supreme power over the servant people.

Also, of course, stay tuned in to www.PrisonPlanet.com where Alex Jones is leading the popular revolt against the TSA. Reaching over 24 million listeners a month, his radio show is probably one of the top three in the nation, and he doesn’t hold back. From time to time, I occasionally serve as a fill-in host for Alex when he’s traveling, so I’m very familiar with his operation there and how hard his entire team works to bring you freedom-oriented news six days a week. (It’s an exhausting job.) Not everybody enjoys Alex’s boisterous approach to delivering information, but I think it’s entirely appropriate given how far our government has descended down the path of tyranny and corruption. This is not a time to stay silent. Unless, for some reason, you just enjoy having your reproductive organs irradiated by a body scanning machine that’s probably giving the TSA’s own employees cancer right this minute.
