Message to the Nutrient and Natural Products Industry

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Natural Solutions Foundation, as a 501(c)(3) exempt, nongovernmental organization does not lobby public officials, although we do our best to educate all decision makers about natural solutions to issues of pressing human need. That is why we teamed up with the Institute for Health Research to call upon organic, nutrient, natural products and natural remedies to form a 501(c)(4) lobbying alliance to tell state, national and international public officials that health freedom is essential for natural solutions. Here is the message we sent on May 31, 2008 – to the public email addresses of nearly 1,500 leaders in the industry:

May 31, 2008

Subject: International regulations threaten your business – what you can do.
An important message from Natural Solutions Foundation

Dear Natural Products Company CEO:

While various “insiders” in the nutrient industry tell us Codex Alimentarius (the World Food Code) is “no threat” to the industry because of the anti-harmonization statute, the US FDA -led delegation continues to lobby Codex for action. Why?

This suggests the FDA obviously feels Codex is an excellent wedge to get more control over the industry that DSHEA prevented. It was DSHEA, after all, that allowed our industry to grow from under a billion dollars before the law to over thirty billion dollars today! The FDA has repeatedly expressed its unhappiness with the continued existence of our industry and consistently creates new and ever more burdensome regulations and requirements, making our existence more difficult on a continuing basis. These requirements and regulations are all justified as bringing the US into Codex Compliance. In reality, the FDA pulls Codex where it wants to take it and then brings those requirements home to use against our industry.

If your voice is not represented where global political decisions are made that determine business practices, you may become a scapegoat. Witness the recent baseball steroid hearings, where dietary supplements were blamed for “sports heroes” shooting up steroid drugs. You know the distinction between foods and drugs, although FDA and Congress do not seem to understand the differences. This confusion is also evident at Codex itself, where its control over the international food trade includes nutrient products.

You may be familiar with my web site, www.VitaminLawyer.com, or you may have heard of the NonGovernmental Organization (NGO) of which I am proud to be a trustee, Natural Solutions Foundation. We are arguably the largest and most active “netroots” organization in the health freedom movement. But as a tax-exempt nonprofit, we are restricted in what we can do to promote natural solutions; we are permitted to educate Congress and demonstrate the wisdom of natural health strategies, but not to lobby. This is also true of other NGOs.

Since the NGOs cannot expend substantial funding on lobbying, we need your support for Codex consulting and international lobbying. Consider the expense a type of insurance against the industry (including your company) being “scapegoated” in the process of developing global regulations.

That’s why Natural Solutions Foundation (GlobalHealthFreedom.org) and the Institute for Health Research (Inhere.org) are spearheading the creation of an industry lobby for health freedom and natural solutions. Our sponsoring NGOs are “501(c)(3)” exempt entities so they cannot directly lobby. Instead, they have created “The Strategic Health Freedom Alliance”, which will be a “501(c)(4)” entity so it can lobby. What is the difference? One difference is that donations to a (c)(3) are tax deductible to individuals while consulting fees or contributions to a (c)(4) are a necessary business cost that can be expensed in your current business tax year.

Irrespective of what some have incorrectly suggested, that the “anti-harmonization statute,” 19 USC 3512, prevents of Codex being a threat to the US nutrient industry, the threat is real. That law applies to “Uruguay Round” trade agreements, and Codex is a pre-existing UN agency, not a trade agreement. The FDA had announced on October 11, 1995 in the Federal Register that it will “harmonize” American law with international regulations, even when not finalized. That includes Codex regulations.

This Codex “wedge” is part of what the Alliance is being formed to prevent. Under Codex, your product is regulated as if it were a dangerous industrial “toxin” – to be restricted in the interests of global “harmonization.”

What does your company get for joining the Alliance? Using the skills in new media we’ve painstakingly developed over the past several years, you’ll benefit from:

1. Our expertise in representing health freedom before regulatory agencies such as Codex. I’ve had 34 years experience representing companies like yours as The Vitamin Lawyer. I know my way around the agencies and the regulations. My my co-trustees bring even greater skills. Dr. Rima E. Laibow MD practiced drug free psychiatry and medicine for over 35 years, has testified before the FDA and spoken at many national and international venues; her video Nutricide has been seen well over a half million times. The Foundation President, Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA ret), has defended freedom for his entire illustrious military career. Today Gen. Stubblebine is well respected for his leadership in patriot freedom circles.

2. The efforts of an experienced, registered “beltway” lobbyist, Charles Frohman – cfrohman.com -and several DC area health freedom advocates who know their way around, inside the beltway, as we know our way around the international agencies.

3. Strategically significant, private email alerts with our insider information you need to protect and conduct your business.

4. Regular private consultation opportunities with us and our experts (through Codex Consultants and AER Consultants) to allow you to bring your concerns to us while we keep you informed “up to the minute” about developments that will impact your business growth or to protect your market access.

What have we accomplished so far?

In addition to facilitating about one million messages to public decision makers, Dr. Rima, Gen. Bert and I learned to interact with Congresspeople and their senior staff to change the course of public affairs. We were active – and effective – last year in educating Congress about exempting DSHEA compliant products from the FDA ill-advised reauthorization bill’s enhanced authority, and, in fact, such a protective clause was adopted, over the objections of those same “industry insiders” who said it “wasn’t necessary…” using their tattered and outworn “no threat” mantra.

Here is another example: many health advocates and scientists have decried dosing our drinking water with the industrial toxin, fluoride. “Anti-fluoride health nuts” nearly became a standard political derisive joke. Yet, a year before the recent Scientific American article proclaiming that scientists were rethinking fluoride (and nine days before the American Dental Association amended its position to bring it into line with ours), a growing Coalition of Health Conscious Nations (HCN), informed by a Natural Solutions Foundation White Paper and scientific dossier on the dangers of fluoride for infants prevented Codex from adding fluoride to the list of ingredients allowed for healthy baby formula in international trade; a small victory for freedom of choice, perhaps, but a major one for formula-fed babies around the world.

Of more direct impact to your business might be what happened this February at the Codex workgroup meeting on GM (genetically modified) food labeling. The US offered what appeared to be a neutral working paper… until we looked at it closely and realized it institutionalized the assumption GM foods were automatically deemed “safe” – thereby approving the US position (which refuses to examine safety data and forbids the labeling of GM foods) and positioning any challenge to that assumption for a WTO sanction. The Coalition surfaced again and the maneuver was stopped. The US position on GM foods is truly bizarre: ‘Since,’ says the US representative, ‘studies show Americans prefer non-GM foods when they have the information, and since we, the government, know they shouldn’t care about that, we want to forbid them from having this information; no required GM labeling, no permitted GM-free labeling.’1

You can read more about what we’ve accomplished through our education and strategic efforts at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=195

What we need from you.

We need your commitment to the Alliance. This entails two actions on your part:

(1) Sign up for a monthly contribution to the Strategic Health Freedom Alliance to enable our new (c)(4) lobby group to be formed, filed and start functioning, and

(2) Help us grow the Health Freedom eAlert list, now the largest in the health freedom movement; the larger the list, the stronger our voice.

Health Freedom e-Alert sign up: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187

Your financial commitment to the Alliance is a regular business expense and will vary, depending on gross sales, from $250 to $2,000 per quarter. This allows us to provide you with regular consulting services, Congressional and global lobbying. You can also personally donate directly to our NGO and receive a personal tax deduction while furthering their educational missions. Deductible donations for educating and business expense contributions for lobbying: you and health freedom win both ways!

Please reply to this email or call me at 973-300-4594 with any questions or suggestions. Let me know whom I should be in touch with in your organization. We’ll have our first Advisory Board conference call shortly and hope that you will be on board to help us determine our priorities.

You can, as lobbyist Charles Frohman says, “Either be represented in the halls of power, or risk the industry becoming a scapegoat in the struggle for power…” The choice is yours. The time is now. The stakes are high and the team is ready.

For health and freedom,

Ralph Fucetola JD
Trustee, Natural Solutions Foundation
Organizer, Strategic Health Freedom Alliance

PS – A year ago, when the FDA tried to sneak through their infamous CAM guidance that would have turned many natural products into “drugs” or “medical devices,” Natural Solutions Foundation alerted the public with the result that 588,000+ people tried to tell the FDA that they opposed these draft regulations through the Foundation site. The FDA made sure that their email was blocked most of the time but the Foundation still managed to generate 198,000 eAlert messages to the FDA. It is interesting to note that the FDA never finalized that potentially disastrous guidance. We have proven we can not just “hold the line” but can advance a pro-natural products agenda in Codex and elsewhere. Now we need your participation to protect your access to the market. Please contact me today.

1 That US position is (I suspect this is no surprise to you…) contrary to US law as determined by the Supreme Court. In Thompson v Western States Medical, the Court held, “If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last – not first – resort. … We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information.”

HOW DO YOU CONNECT DEADLY DOTS?
AND THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?

It sometimes seems almost impossible to keep up with the onslaught of serious threats to our health and health freedom. The Natural Solutions Foundation is unique because our focus is wide and comprehensive. Like you, we do not limit our focus to one or two areas of concern. Because we share your deep understanding that freedom, like health, is an indivisible whole which is far, far more than the sum of its parts, we choose the harder path, rather than the easier one: we keep you informed on what is actually happening, not what would lull you into complacency. And we give you meaningful action steps to change what needs to be changed. After all, you “can take it” or you would not be on our distribution list. Besides, the Media of Mass Deception (and fluoride…) does quite enough lulling without our help! This Health Freedom eAlert will take a look at some of the biggest of the dangerous and deadly dots and then tell you:

A. How we think these dots are connected
B. What we are doing about it and
C. What you can do about it.

A word of warning, though: before you get to the end of the bad stuff (and it is, I am afraid, really very bad) you may become discouraged and want to click off to something lighter. Please don’t. There is hope, and a good deal of it, at the end of this trail of deadly dots, but we need to be clear on what the problems are before we can solve them! It’s odd, you know: sometimes when we talk about all these issues, people, feeling overwhelmed, say things like, “I don’t want to hear anything negative! I only want to focus on the positive.” Natural Solutions Foundation knows that the solutions are positive, no matter how bad the problems seem.

SO these two girl ostriches are walking down the beach and two boy ostriches see them and decide to catch up with them. The girl ostriches are not very pleased and see that the boys are going to catch up in a very short time. They look at one another and immediately stick their heads in the sand. The boy ostriches come to a screeching, skidding halt, look at each other and say, “Where’d they go?”

Sticking our heads in the sand is not going to get us out of the spot we are in now.

Understanding, connecting and then dealing with the underlying cause of the dots, however, may save us.

DOT: DEADLY VACCINES

A psychiatrist might say that vaccination is pretty close to a cultural obsession. Anyone daring to even question it is, automatically unpatriotic, irrational, part of the lunatic fringe, a bad parent or a hippie. However, asking these questions is actually logical, wise and prudent. The questions we should be asking include, “How is it that thimerisol, which killed all the patients receiving it in its very first tests, and has been known for its horrific biological impact has been so valiantly defended by the supposed “health watchdogs” in and out of government? These failed guardians include, for example, the American Pediatric Association, the AMA, the FDA, the FTC and the EPA.” and “Why are ineffective and extraordinarily contaminated vaccines permitted at all? Why are cancer causing and other stealth viruses, aluminum hydroxide, monosodium gultamate, and dozens of other dangerous chemicals injected into us at all?” and “Why is the government covering up what they already know about vaccines?” Beyond greed, are we systematically being exposed to dangers we may not suspect, but the government and drug companies know very clearly? Why?

The well-established connection between mercury and autism needs no repetition, although the financial Pretorian Guard of the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, continues to defend this archaic and misguided practice as “safe and effective”. Click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=689) to learn how BARDA, the FDA’s secretive Vaccine Police is poised to compel mandatory vaccination for whatever they declare has become “a Pandemic” using whatever they decide to inject. That’s not OK with us and I know it’s not OK with you, either. Click here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/join) to join the vigorous on-line No-Forced-Vaccination Forum to learn and share more about your rights and freedom from forced vaccination. The

Natural Solutions Foundation has filed a highly innovative legal action, in the form of a Citizens Petition, with the Federal Trade Commission to compel it to hold hearings on whether the advertising and information put out by vaccine makers saying that vaccines are both safe and effective is truthful. We know it is not and so do you. We are also urging the FTC to ban such advertising and information until it is proven to be truthful. The FTC has “lost” and denied our petition unlawfully several times. Clearly, we have hit a nerve, and we did not use a syringe to get there. Stay tuned on this action: we’ll need your vigorous support as soon as the FTC gets around to fulfilling its legal obligation to formalize our ability to send comments in, under the issued FTC document number! Meanwhile, remember to take each of the actions in the side bar to protect your health and freedom. Congress needs to hear from millions of us on this issue. That’s why it is so important to get your contacts active, too. Forward this email and ask them to sign up for the Health Freedom eAlerts (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187) and take all the action steps. And ask them to forward it again to THEIR contacts when they have finished the Action Steps.

By the way, the long-awaited Vaccine Exemption eBook is nearing completion. Those of you who donated during our funding campaign for this book will receive your eBooks shortly. The book has grown and expanded into an even more impressive document with the help of experts and advisors. Thanks for your patience! We believe the Vaccine Exemption eBook will prove to be a major resource and well worth the wait!

DOT: INSANE SPRAYING

The State of California and the EPA have decided to spray cancer-inducing, environmentally destructive chemicals over the entire San Francisco Bay area (including waterways, wetlands, homes, playing fields, cities, farms and towns) to “control” a “pest” which has not even been confirmed to exist there and certainly does not present a hazard to any crop or plant species. Eradicating the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) is apparently such a high priority that, should the Governor of California decide to prohibit the spraying of Checkmate (R), a nano-plastic delivery system bonded to an insect pheromone, the EPA will step in and take over jurisdiction to make sure that the spraying takes place EVERY 30 DAYS FOR 5 TO 10 YEARS.

The nano-particle plastic breaks down in the environment in about 70 days. How long does it take to break down in your lungs and what happens when it does? Who knows. Why is San Francisco being punished — or experimented upon? Or is it slated for extermination? Under the US Biological Agents Act such experimentation is terrifyingly legal. See http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=449 Did we also mention that no one knows the impact of the nano particles to which the moth hormone is bonded when they lodge deep in the lungs of people who have no choice but to breath them? And did we also mention that while severe physical problems accompany the spraying of this compound on human populations, there is no credible evidence that the LBAM actually presents any threat to anything at all?

The Natural Solutions Foundation has been watching this situation since Santa Clara and Monterey were sprayed last year resulting in serious and prolonged mass illness. In fact, you can click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php) to see what General Stubblebine and I had to say at a meeting a few months ago in California about this genocidal program. And don’t miss the chance to click here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QTLhpc8fEIs) to see a music video with General Stubblebine!

Our collaborators, the Ecological Options Network, www.eon3.net, suspended work on our Health Freedom Documentary collaboration and the Health Freedom Video Library because of the emergency presented by the LBAM spraying so that they could document and support the community organization against this atrocious program which threatens the environment and the residents of Northern California and, we believe, the rest of the country, too.Your continued support in funding the Health Freedom Video is very important. Click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189)to make a donation to help fund the film. Donors of $100 or more will be thanked personally in the final version of the documentary. We are concerned that the Bay Area may a “belle weather” or early indicator experiment for the spraying which can be imposed on the rest of the US for reasons as far fetched and fatuous, and as potentially deadly, as those used in California.

It is imperative for us to be informed about this program because although the target is California now, there is no reason to believe that it will be limited there. Make-believe “pests” can be imagined anywhere and massive spraying programs called ChemTrails already exist. The EPA is willing to seize jurisdiction if California refuses to spray. Could this happen in your community? Click on these links to learn more:

http://www.eon3.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ES&Product_Code=STBTSA2V3S

Why would such dangerous, untested and patently absurd spraying, and sprays, be poured on us and on the environment every 30 days for 10 years without any pest to kill or safety studies to rely upon?

DOT: DEADLY DRUGS

It is no secret that properly used prescription drugs rank at the very top of causes of death in the US. It’s also no secret that drugs, which work by poisoning enzyme systems, lead to side effects which are frequently treated by more drugs which lead to side effects which are frequently treated by more drugs…. An untested and potentially deadly soup of drugs interacting with each other in unpredictable ways means patients getting worse, not better, or dying from their medical “care”. We all know the results and they are not pretty. It is also no secret that psychiatric drugs cause permanent changes in the brain and that they can stimulate deadly consequences in those who take them or those who are around those who take them. It is also no secret that the profits in these, and all other drugs, including chemotherapy drugs, are astonishingly high. The more we take of them, the richer the drug companies become.

Therefore, we are urged, through every possible channel, to take more and more drugs. I have speculated before in this forum, and will repeat my speculation, that the deadly consequences of these drugs, prescription and otherwise, and the vigorous propaganda war against the inexpensive, safe and effective alternative to these high cost toxins, are no accident.

There are too many smart scientists and doctors involved in drug research, and too many documented instances of industry and government colluding to suppress information about dangerous compounds which are approved for sale despite their known dangers for me to believe that this is an accidental state of affairs. Why would such dangerous drugs be allowed on our shelves and in our bodies?

DOT: GMOs, LABELED OR UNLABELED

The biotech industry may have done something good for humanity and the planet. If so, I am unaware of it. Some people hold out the idea that GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are safe or good for the economy and the environment. They are, in my opinion, simply wrong. Dead wrong. Here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=690) is a briefing on that topic which I prepared for the people I am talking to in Panama right now, including folks in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Biotech does nothing to inspire or impress me.

In fact, it scares me silly. I am unimpressed by dangerous drugs produced through recombinant DNA techniques, foods that can destroy the environment and have unintended health consequences in the near term or a score of years from now but which cannot be traced because the US will not allow labeling of these experimental foods. I am underwhelmed by hormones given to animals and people which have been made by shooting high energy “bullets” into DNA to make it serve commercial purposes which make the recipients sick.

I am not impressed by seeds which produce poisons and tolerate wildly dangerous chemicals in high concentrations so that they become vectors for environmental illnesses when their crops come to harvest. I find nothing to be joyous about in food and feed and super weeds that transfer their DNA into my cells (and my fetus’s) where that DNA and its promoter partners induce my DNA to produce proteins which have never existed before on the face of the earth and which have totally unknown consequences. Or, perhaps those consequences are not totally unknown to the purveyors of these Franken-foods, Franken-feed, Franken-Crops and Franken-animals.

And the more I learn what the Biotech firms like Monsanto are up to, the less I like the fact that they are taking over our food supply. Click here to spend some time learning about The World According to Monsanto (http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/the-world-according-to-monsanto-a-documentary-that-americans-wont-ever-see-full-video/). This remarkable film, originally made in French, was available on the internet and then disappeared. It is archived here. Please watch and share it. And when you do share it, please ask your contacts to join the Health Freedom eAlerts distribution list at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187.

One of the Codex activities which has been occupying a good deal of our time here at the Natural Solutions Foundation is making sure that our African, Caribbean, South Pacific and other health-friendly allies are so well informed, and so upset, by the US policy at Codex of totally unlabeled GMOs that they take action. And they have begun to do exactly that. But looking at the dots, why would an industry which despoils the planet, sickens and kills people and animals, be permitted, at least in the US, a totally free hand to market its products in the total absence of safety testing and precautions to protect people and the planet?

DOT: POISONED FOOD

Pesticides and herbicides, fungicides, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives, Splenda (c), Aspartame (c), hydrogenated fat, high fructose corn syrup, high saturated fat, “food” deconstructed from genetically modified corn and soy and rebuilt from the vat up, so to speak, are killing us.

There is not much new in that. But why? Why are our shelves filled with stuff with which we are killing ourselves, mouthful by mouthful?

. Why are we buying it and why, from a regulatory point of view, is it on our shelves to buy?

. Why are supplements filled with synthetic “nutrients”, including those derived from genetically modified plants, bacteria, yeast and animals on our shelves?

. Why are our water, toothpaste and medicines filled with fluoride, a carcinogenic, diabetogenic, endocrine poison and neurological poison that mining companies find too expensive to dispose of legally and sell to food and water companies?

. Why is this known neurotoxin which creates complacency in those who are exposed to it (discovered first by Stalin’s prison camp wardens) allowed in increasing amounts in our food and drink and sprayed at incredible concentrations on our food?

. Why are our children bombarded with advertisements for things to eat that will kill them? Profit for the “food” makers, surely, but are there other reasons?

Perhaps social strategies are in place which do not favor strong, clear thinking, active and informed citizens. Perhaps those strategies are working hand in glove with the policies which allow deadly fake foods to stand in for the nutritious foods we need will support and sustain us. And perhaps those strategies and policies are consistent with Henry Kissinger’s now public 1972 secret assessment for President Nixon that the first consideration of America’s foreign policy needs to be depopulation.

Dot, dot, dot . . .

DOT: CODEX
Codex is the wagon of the multinational corporations and its driver is the United States. True, each sector influencing Codex decisions wants more money. True, Big Pharma founded Codex in order to make sure that the food supply was sufficiently contaminated to make sure that people sickened from preventable diseases of under nutrition from which it could then make a lot of money.

(Watch Nutricide, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634, and read The Killing Camps of Codex, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=322, for more detail on this process.

But if you need consumers, more consumers, yet more consumers, why would you feed them food that is inevitably going to kill them? By the way, the next major Codex meeting is coming up in Geneva from June 30 to July 4, 2008. If you value our attendance there and want to have your usual ring-side seat as we participate in organizing the pro-health forces there and give you blow-by-blow reporting on who is doing what to whom and how it impacts your health and life, it is time to donate (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189) to send us there. The only way we can attend these meetings is through your generous tax deductible donations (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189). It is very helpful to us if you can make a recurring donation (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189) so that we can count on the income and make our plans accordingly. Thanks for your support!

DOT: CHEMTRAILS

ChemTrails have been denied since they first started appearing in the late 1970s. Recently the US General Accounting Office (GAO) admitted that there were, indeed, fluffy white ChemTrails being laid down in the skies. While the GOA tried to make it seem as if these innocent-looking white, red or black trails left as planes fly through the sky were of not particular consequence, there is a huge body of information that draws very different inferences from this world-wide activity. See, for example, http://educate-yourself.org/ct/ for a wide-ranging look at many points of view on ChemTrails.

Take a look at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GvioxJUL6C0
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IaPqCMIuEk4&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ohkV_i_0LWo&feature=related and the following 8 segments of this interview with a noted ChemTrail researcher by Alex Jones.

So my question here is, what is this program for? Who is responsible and what possible goal could be served by showering us with desiccated red blood cells and pathogens which are, in many cases, not previously identified? The government says there is nothing there.

As Chico Marx said in Duck Soup, “Who are you going to believe? Me or your eyes?” …And your lungs and the increased number of emergency room visits and deaths when ChemTrails are in your skies?

DOT: FORBIDDEN CANCER TREATMENTS

And then there is cancer, the single most economically productive disease ever encountered by humankind. Tragic, disastrous, largely preventable and oh-so-profitable. Big Pharma is big, in large measure, because of big cancer.

The World Health Organization includes cancer in its list of “non communicable preventive diseases of under-nutrition.” Within your lifetime and mine, cancer has gone from being a rare disease to one so common that anywhere from

* 1 child in 2 born after 2000 and
* 1 adult in 3

will develop cancer in the US ( the figure was 1 person in 5 in 1989!) The rest of the world is, sadly, playing catch-up with us.

Cancers are primarily environmentally caused: pesticides, fungicides, injected viruses like the MKV 40 virus in Polio and other vaccines, synthetic additives, mold contamination, industrial toxins, synthetic hormones in food or as medicine, heavy metals, etc., etc., etc. Now what if cancer were an easy to cure, easy to control and easy to prevent disease.? The consequences would be, quite simply, disastrous for the industries which profiteer from this dread and largely preventable scourge. For example, in 2007, cancer patient Jeanne Sather wrote,

“Every three weeks, always on a Thursday afternoon, I amble on over to the cancer center for my IV treatment.(I also take Cytoxan, a chemo drug that comes in pill form, every day, plus a handful of other pills to help deal with the side effects and fringe benefits of being in cancer treatment-anxiety, high blood pressure, occasional depression, insomnia.)The total bill for each treatment session at the cancer center is something north of $20,000. The annual cost of my cancer care is more than $300,000. That’s three hundred thousand dollars a year.Almost $30,000 a month to keep me alive.”
http://www.assertivepatient.com/2007/02/the_high_cost_o.html

Jeanne switched cancer treatment centers and, later that year, noted,

“… I was left to wonder why one cancer center charges $9,496.47 for one dose of Avastin and another cancer center in the same city charges $22,739.31. [for one afternoon’s treatment]… the same thing for the Herceptin. SCCA [a cancer treatment center – REL] charged me $6,254.95 for one dose of Herceptin, and Swedish [another cancer treatment center – REL] charged me $9,599.10.”
http://www.assertivepatient.com/2007/02/the_high_cost_o_1.html
Before you do a little intuitive math and come up with numbers so staggering that they take your breath away, here’s a little chart from 2006 compiled from manufacturer’s information. Today’s prices, of course, would be significantly higher:

    Drug Company Monthly cost


Avastin Genentec $4,400
Erbitux ImClone/Bristol-Myers $10,000
Gleevec Novartis $2,600
Herceptin Genentech $3,000
Nexavar Bayer Pharmaceuticals $4,300
Revlimid Celgene $4,500
Rituxan Genentech $4,200-$13,000
Sutent Pfizer $4,000
Tarceva Genentech/OSI Pharma. $2,400 to $2,700

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-07-10-cancer-drugs_x.htm
The same article notes, “many of the new drugs work only when combined with chemo, he says. Adding drugs such as Erbitux and Avastin to older therapies increases costs as well as side effects. Patients today still don’t live very long on most of the new medications.” which leads manufacturers to justify their costs this way, “Officials from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., which sells Erbitux, note that patents offer companies a limited amount of time to recoup their investments.” [Emphasis ours]
http://jco.ascopubs.org/cgi/content/full/22/17/3524

The US National Cancer Institutes 2007 Updates notes, “Cancer treatment accounted for an estimated $72.1 billion in 2004-just under 5 percent of U.S. spending for all medical treatment. Between 1995 and 2004, the overall costs of treating cancer increased by 75 percent. In the near future it is expected that cancer costs may increase at a faster rate than overall medical expenditures.”
http://progressreport.cancer.gov/doc_detail.asp?pid=1&did=2007&chid=75&coid=726&mid

By comparison, today all forms of supplements constitute a mere $24 billion in sales ($20 billion in 2004). IF all supplements were used as nutritional therapy for cancer (which they are not), then the total savings in 2004 for cancer treatment would have been $52.1 billion! Of course, the fact that, in my experience and that of many other health professionals, that people with cancer who use natural therapies fare better and live longer, is not represented in these numbers. Nor is the vastly increased quality of life for naturally helped patients reflected in these numbers.

There is no room here for a full discussion of the fraud known as “Cancer treatment” nor the complex dishonesty by which dangerous, ineffective, but highly profitable cancer treatments continue to rob cancer sufferers of their immune capacity, their chance at survival and their money. For a typical, information-rich examination of these issues, read the now slightly outdated, but very informative article at http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/cancer_business.htm

DOT to DOT

Here is how the dots look to me: I see level upon level of complexity.

At the bottom, simplest level of the problem, I believe that major companies and their executives are often driven by pure, unadulterated, mindless, heartless and soulless greed in the same way that ethics-free researchers are driven by mindless, heartless curiosity in a corporate ‘science for hire’ environment. There are no limits to what they will do because they know no ethical constraints.

These “Captains of Industry and Science” are so far removed from their hearts and values that they rationalize what they do as somehow good for themselves and their families without any concern whatsoever (unless they stumble upon a good death bed experience) about their extended families: that is, the rest of us, and our universal mother, the earth. They are the pride of the dominance system. They believe they can own land, lives, food, and other commodities and, having acquired ownership, they can do with them exactly as they like since, for them, social contracts do not exist, only a legal ones. Knowing no limitations for their greed and need to dominate, they corrupt and control governments as if they were their natural sandboxes filled with their toys. What happens next is of no concern to them. Power does corrupt

Next, there are the “Shapers”. These are people like Henry Kissinger and his ilk who believe that it is their right to make life and death (heavy on the death, here) decisions about who lives and who dies, who is worthy and who is not. Like my patient, the Head of State, they see people as either useful to them (e.g., themselves, their minions and their technicians) or of no value — “useless eaters” to be disposed of when their plans have ripened to the point where they can “clean the earth” of these encumbrances.

They have decided that population reduction is good through any means, however hidden or cruel, because it serves their purposes. They have brought to its highest level the split between “I” and “Thou” since the “I” sees no mutual, holistic existence of the other, the “Thou”, and can do away with the other person (or populations) at his own whim or economic impulse. These people see no relationship between themselves and anyone who does not serve them. They plan things like population reduction in order to achieve a “sustainable” planet for themselves AFTER 90% of the world’s population has been conveniently exterminated.

Schemes like ChemTrails and depleted uranium and Codex make horrifying sense to them and then they implement these schemes for their own purposes, hidden behind their minions like Monsanto and the US FDA operatives, and their useful Big Industry Captains (see above).

And then, if I am correct, there is the third level: the “uber-masters”, the shadowy levels of puppeteers, the behind-the-scenes controllers. Their shadowy existence is only guessed at through hints and suggestions, but the information pointing to their manipulative existence is persistent and, to me, appears compelling. As the levels go up, so does the power and the hidden nature of their control.

But all of them, from the scientists who experiment on people as if they had no meaning or worth to the agents of the corporations to the “Policy Makers” and on up to the Shapers and the uber-masters, all of them have one Achilles heel, just one. Their plans whither like poisonous mushrooms in the glare of information and the light of truth. That is what they fear and that is what destroys them at the same time that it liberates us! Truly, it is YOU who are the light of the world.

So times are grim and there, apparently, a concerted effort to use us badly, or terminally. That is not our agenda. We want to prosper and thrive. We want to make our choices for ourselves about how we live, how we pursue health and how we age.

We want our path to be illuminated by the bright light of truth and we want to be able to shed that light for others. What can we do? WE can be the light!

“Chaff” Defines ChemTrails Says US Government

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

The Idaho Observer reported with considerable skepticism that the General Accounting Office admitted that chemtrails exist but that they are “merely” fiberglass particles coated with aluminum whose health effects are unknown but whose existence is now acknowledged after decades of official denial.

As the article, below, points out, however, there is much more to the story and it is pretty ominous.
Asthma, cardiac disease, possibly a variant of Morgellon’s Disease, changes in the pH and metallic content of the soil around the world, immune system compromise, and a host of other possible effects for this constant and ubiquitous spraying have been noted and studied.
Can we really call the damage these sprays, the forced exposure to who knows what, anything but a hostile experiment using our bodies as the lab animals?

GAO Report Admits ‘Chaff’ — Lab Report Reveals Much More Last May a family in Iowa contacted the office of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) to report the constant criss-crossing of “chemtrails” in the sky above their neighborhood. They received back from the senator’s office a General Accounting Office (GAO) report on “military chaff” and the material safety data sheet for aluminum-coated fiberglass fibers being spread-seven days a week for several hours each day-in the skies above their home. The chaff is spread by pilots learning how to mask planes or send false radar images. It was reported that the military also has lead-based chaff, but that it is not being used at this time. Chaff was used by the military in Europe in WWII and, according to the GAO, had been used in training here at home since the 50s. Once chaff reaches the ground, it breaks down into particles small enough to inhale. Though military spokespeople insist that chaff is not harmful, the GAO report concluded that health effects are unknown and more studies are needed. Regardless, some members of this family are very sick. On May 23, after a hard rain the day before, they a noticed glittering substance and a pinkish- colored powder substance on the roof of their house. They then noticed the glittering substance on many surfaces, even the dashboard of the family car. Both substances were collected and sent to a lab for analysis. Among the substances found to be in the samples were several that should simply not be there:

* 6 bacteria, including anthrax and pneumonia
* 9 chemicals including acetylcholine chloride
* 26 heavy metals including arsenic, gold, lead,mercury, silver, uranium and zinc
* 4 molds and fungi
* 7 viruses
* 2 cancers
* 2 vaccines
* 2 sedatives

Over the last several months, The Iowa Observer has received a significant increase in chemtrail-related calls and letters. Most report a dramatic increase in chemtrail “spraying” activity in their areas; some are reporting the development of chronic flu-like symptoms, chronic fatigue and body aches that they have never before experienced. If you are seeing the relationship between accelerated chemtrail spraying in your area and symptoms among friends, family and members of your community, begin writing it down and send the information to us by mail or email. Note times, dates and specific symptoms. If you live near a military installation, expect that you are being “sprayed.” You may want to contact your senator or rep and, politely (that is how you get the information you are seeking) request the forwarding of any information that may be available on the military chaff being used in your area. After obtaining relevant documents from your rep or senator, consider using it to obtain epidemiological data from your local health department. Idaho Observer, July 2006

Dangers of Genetically Modified Foods

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Natural Solutions Foundation

www.Organics4U.org

The following is a briefing on the facts and myths of GMOs which I prepared for members of the Panamanian Government and interested citizens concerning the dangers of genetically modified or, as they are known in Panama, transgenic foods.
The briefing notes the Panamanian legal situation. In Panama, as in the US, GMOs are permitted in the food chain without any labeling at all. This is an ecological, medical and consumer’s rights disaster.

Only strong consumer advocacy, and market pressure against anything which might have GMOs in it (that means avoiding anything which is not labeled “organic” or “GM Free”) will change US policy. But once the environment, or your body, is contaminated with foreign DNA, there is no know way to reverse that process.

Codex, like the US, is totally untroubled by GMOs.

Here is the Myth and Fact Summary

Summary of Myths and Facts RE: Transgenic Foods
Rima E. Laibow, MD
Medical Director

May 25, 2008

The provisions of Panamanian Law No. 48 of August 8, 2002 that created the National Commission of Biosecurity for GMOs, in Article 7 – Section 8 – that the Commission “Promote the permanent update of the registries, national and international, of organisms genetically modified based on the precautionary principal.” This principal requires the utmost caution in allowing transgenic products.

The Natural Solutions Foundation urges the Government of Panama to implement this provision of law by imposing an
immediate moratorium on any additional GMO approvals without strict risk analysis and competent scientific proof of
lack of risk.

Myth:
Transgenic crops increase yield, reduce cost and reduce pesticide use. In fact, experience and analysis of the impact of GM crops have shown that none of these commercially useful, but unfounded, assertions is accurate.

Fact:
– Roundup © Ready crops require increasing use of Roundup © since super weeds become resistant to the herbicide
– Additional herbicides and pesticides become necessary to maintain adequate crop status
– Crop yield is often disappointing, in part because Roundup © can cause sudden crop death
– Transgenic crops are more sensitive to drought, an increasing problem in a warming environment
– Studies since 1999 consistently show that economic, social and environmental degradation follow use of transgenic crops
– Pollinator and predator species are seriously impacted by transgenic crops, including both habitat destruction (Roundup ©) and Bt production

Myth:
Panama has no transgenic crops

Fact:
Panama had registered coffee (arabica), yucca, yam, banana, banana tree, sugar cane, taro root, several varieties of rice, maize, pumpkin, kidney bean, sorghum, and strawberry with UPOV, the International organization, as of 2006 and is releasing a long grain transgenic rice in a few days.

Myth:
Transgenic crops are carefully regulated before release in prepared foods or as crops

Fact:
In the US, where virtually all transgenic crops originate, the FDA and USDA operate under a 1992 Executive Order which says that modified and unmodified foods are equivalent. Hence, no safety or other testing is required and both FDA and USDA refuse to require or examine safety testing. Only a patent is necessary to release a food into the food chain and environment. No environmental impact studies or statements are required.

Myth:
Transgenic foods are safe

Fact:
Transgenic foods have unintended and rapidly changing biological impact since the inserted genes, the promoter organisms and the marker organisms are foreign to the genome of the plant and are unstable in it.
– FDA and other US government scientists have issued strong warnings about the dangers of transgenic organisms which have either been suppressed or ignored.
– US Center for Disease Control found that food-related illness increased up to 10 fold since the commercialization of transgenic food
– The only published human feeding study verified that genetic material in transgenic soy transfers into the DNA of intestinal bacteria and continues to function
o Glyphosate (Roundup ©) resistant DNA has been shown to revert and become a glyphosate producer in the gut and in digestive bacteria. Glyphosate is a highly toxic compound associated with infertility, cancer, auto immune diseases and other serious consequences upon ingestion or other exposure
– Every commercialized transgenic organism released into the food supply has already undergone extensive genetic revision and change
– Early understanding of the genome held that its function was fixed and rigid.
– Today we understand that the genome is a fluid and dynamic system.
o Foreign DNA changes the proteins coded for in unpredictable ways with unintended consequences which
may take years to manifest or be identified
o DNA remains active and viable long after the death of the cell or organism
o Transgenic DNA may not be broken down by the digestive tract
o Transgenic DNA transfers to living cells and inserts itself into the genome of plants, bacteria, humans and other
animals through horizontal transfers coding for unknown proteins and leading to antibodies, allergenicity,
– Allergenicity cannot be predicted in advance but all corn, maize and soy tested for allergenicity according to WHO standards have failed because they have allergenicity characteristics
– GM foods which may or may not be allergenic in themselves can confer allergenicity to other foods and tissues
– Transgenic genes are inserted by the same process used by researchers to provide models of unstable DNA and are
inherently unstable
o Safety and quality are impossible to control with unstable genetic material
o Unintended horizontal transfer is impossible to control
o Expression of transgenic genes can change from generation to generation
– Promoter viruses mutate within the genome and have been linked to serious communicable and non communicable diseases:
o Multiple Drug Resistant Tuberculosis
o Cancer (including leukemia)
o Slow viruses
o Auto immune diseases
o Immune suppression
o Morgellon’s Disease
o Allergens
– Soy allergies rose by 50% in the UK soon after transgenic soy was introduced.
– Transgenic soy creates multiple problems in animal studies:
o Cooking increases soy allergens by as much as 700%
o Digestive enzymes are reduced
o Livers show toxic injury which is reversible after switching to natural soy
– Rats fed transgenic canola had livers which were 12-16% heavier
– Bt crops produce huge amounts of Bt which are
o Often insufficient to kill pests
o Sufficiently poisonous to harm beneficial insects
o Provoke strong, sometimes lethal, allergic reactions
– Synthetic genes do not function identically to natural ones with serious/lethal consequences for animals consuming them
– Antibiotic resistant marker organisms are known to have transferred their resistance to other bacteria and somatic cells conferring resistance to formerly clinically useful antibiotics through horizontal transfer
– GM labeling is forbidden in the US. Lack of species specific or
any other identification of GM food makes impossible
o Epidemiology
o Traceability
o Liability
– Bt toxins are significant toxins in themselves. While natural levels of Bt are safe for humans, transgenic Bt crops produce levels up to 10,000 greater and are documented serious
allergens
– Human and animal reproductive failure and sterility are common
consequences of exposure to
o Roundup ©
o GM soy
o GM corn (including an organism patented by Epicyte in 2001 to cause permanent male sterility – organism now
owned by DuPont and Monsanto)
– GM food consumed by animals causes the animals to become transgenic in unknown ways
– When consumed, these otherwise non-transgenic animals provide an unknown, and unregulated source of foreign DNA which then enters the human genome with unpredictable and unintended consequences
– Animal studies show when fed GM chow or feed
o Huge increases in
o Fetal death
o Low birth weight
o Failure to thrive after birth
o Sterility among offspring mated to each other
o Grazing animals die in large numbers
o Animal infertility when out-mated

Myth:
Transgenic crops can be contained in the area where they are planted

Fact:
Transgenic crops contaminate both same-species and other-species plants.
– Monsanto sues about 500 farmers per year for intellectual property rights through “volunteer” seeds trespassing on the farmers’ land via pollen drift and pollinator contamination
– Organic and conventional plants are irreversibly contaminated by
transgenic plants
o Although the US allows 10% GM contamination in certified organic foods (1), compared with most countries’ limits of 0.9% or 1.0%, organic foods sources are still in short supply in the US because of gross contamination of organic crops
o Conventional crops quickly become contaminated
o Louisiana rice crop contaminated with pharmaceutical rice grown by Bayer – many farmers now growing corn instead to avoid contamination
o Pharmaceutical rice by Bayer Cropscience was shipped as human food to at least 30 countries
o All South African corn now contaminated with Monsanto’s MON810 which has not been approved for human consumption and is considered unsafe in Europe
o New Zealand contaminated by 3 years of mislabeled shipment of maize by US
o All Mexican corn now contaminated by US corn
o Super weeds and super pests are prevalent wherever transgenic crops exist
