GMO Files: GMO Drugs Carry More Dangers than Chemical Ones

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

The careless, industry controlled FDA has been happy to approve drugs made from genetically modified molecules, including many from plants, since 1985 when it approved GMO insulin. These drugs are called “Biologicals”. A new analysis, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows that biologicals are twice as dangerous as chemical (non GMO) drugs. We know how dangerous they are (over 100,000 deaths per year and 3 million hospitalizations per year for adverse events from properly used drugs in the US each year. Now multiply that danger by at least two and see what you get: a profit-driven disaster.

The excellent summary below makes it clear that while it is essential to divest the FDA and USDA of their food regulatory responsibilities, the dangerous and industry-supported FDA is not doing any better with their regulatory responsibilities on drugs than they are on food. At least with drugs, however, you have a chance, for the moment, of saying “yes” or “no” to their use. Food is compulsory. Drugs are [usually] voluntary. And that is why, of course, natural medicine options, in all their forms, are under such vigorous attack.

That is also why the Natural Solutions Foundation continually asks you to make sure that everyone in your contact list becomes aware of these issues and that you request that they take the actions that you take to prevent the loss of our health freedoms and to separate this dangerous agency (and the USDA) from your table and your health.

‘Biologicals’, Wonder Drugs with Problems

Protein drugs produced by genetic engineering cause adverse events including death more frequently than synthetic chemical drugs; yet they are being produced in transgenic crops grown in open fields Prof. Joe Cummins

‘Biologicals’ more dangerous than chemicals

‘Biologicals’ are drugs in which the active substance is produced by or extracted from a biological source (in contrast to synthetic chemicals). Biologicals are relatively recent, being for the most part, recombinant proteins produced by genetic engineering. The first biological was recombinant human insulin produced in recombinant bacteria and commercially approved in 1982. Currently, there are more than 250 biologicals on the market, including recombinant blood products, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines that have been approved by regulatory agencies in the United States and European Union (EU). Between 2003 and 2006 biologicals represented 24 percent of all new approvals in the US and 22 percent of new approvals in the EU [1]. Ten biologicals are listed among the top selling ‘blockbuster’ drugs valued at 1 to 3.2 billion dollars in sales. These drugs included treatments for red blood cell disorders, immune system disorders, cancer and insulin analogues [2].

Newly approved drugs are frequently found to cause unexpected problems; but biologicals are incurring problems even more frequently than synthetic chemical drugs. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association confirms that the biological drugs have provoked significantly more regulatory actions than newly introduced synthetic chemical drugs. The researchers, based in The Netherlands, followed up a group of biologicals approved in the US and EU between 1995 and 2008, and found that 24 percent of these have prompted safety regulatory actions. New chemical drugs have an 8.5 percent chance of safety warning within ten years of approval, compared to 17 percent for biologics [2]. The regulatory actions included warnings on general disorders and administration site conditions, infections and infestations, immune system disorders and cancers (benign, malignant and unspecified). Adverse events included many serious complications of the drug treatment such as increased mortality, anaphylaxis, cancer, heart failure, stroke, and infections [1]. However, industry representatives implied [2] that the diseases being treated were very serious, and the drugs were efficacious and the adverse events relatively rare. The study concluded [1]: “The nature of safety problems identified after approval for biologicals is often related to the immunomodulatory effect (infections). Because the biologicals first to be approved in a class were more likely to be subjected to regulatory action, close monitoring is recommended.”

FDA blaming the victims rather than the drugs?

A review of the Netherlands study published in Nature Biotechnology acknowledges the significance of the study and the problem of adverse events related to biologicals. The article mentions a caveat to the study’s conclusions added by Sandra Kweder, deputy director of FDA’s office of new drugs at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research [2]: “Biological therapeutics are more likely to be developed to treat serious illnesses, she points out, and serious illnesses themselves are fertile ground for ‘toxicity’ whether related to the drug or disease, so interpreting data on the drug’s or biological’s risk must take that into account.” That seems to lay the blame for the adverse outcomes on those being treated rather than the drugs; and looks like an attempt to protect the billion-dollar industry.

The Nature Biotechnology review [2] further comments that industry insiders agree long-term safety monitoring will be crucial for biologics. While the antibody producing company InNexux’s chief scientific officer is reported to have said: “That long-term use may lead to problems I think is a given,” – a suspicion borne out by the latest study – the company’s chairman and ceo Jeff Morhet, finds at least one important consolation: “the study showed that no biological was pulled from the market for safety reasons.”

Lax FDA regulation and a profit-hungry industry

If anything, Morhet’s remark should offer no consolation to those being treated; as it exposes the lack of adequate regulation to protect the public in face of ‘miracle cures’ being offered by an industry whose primary concern is profit.

Significantly, no one has commented on the 2005 case of the drug Tysabri (natalizumab) a treatment for multiple sclerosis that was suspended following two deaths of patients from leukoencephalopathy (progressive damage or inflammation of the white matter of the brain) [3]. Nor indeed has anyone mentioned the catastrophic London drug trial of a biological monoclonal antibody drug that left six healthy young volunteers seriously ill [4] (London Drug Trial Catastrophe – Collapse of Science and Ethics, SiS 30).

The Institute of Science in Society (ISIS) has long been critical of the manner in which biological are tested and used in treatment. The adverse event, ‘cytokine storm’ unleashed in the immune system of the volunteers, was not exactly a surprise. The FDA had issued a long list of warnings on similar monoclonal antibody drugs [5] (Warnings on FDA Approved Monoclonal Antibody Drugs, SiS 30); but that seemed to have been ignored [6] (Post Mortem on the TGN1412 Disaster, SiS 30).

Pharm crops with dangerous biologicals in open field trials put the public at risk

Even more seriously, the secret trials of food crops (pharm crops) in open fields modified with mammalian genes expressing proteins used to treat human or animal disease continue unabated [7] (Drug Trial Catastrophe & Safety of Secretly Tested Pharm Crops, SiS 30). Pharm crops for vaccines and therapeutic antibodies have been trialed since 2004 and earlier [8] (Pharm Crops for Vaccines and Therapeutic Antibodies, SiS 24). Antibodies are produced in tobacco plants [9] (Antibodies from Hybrid GM Tobacco Plants, SiS 35) and in maize [10] (Transgenic Maize with Monoclonal Antibodies Grown in France, SiS 35). Biologicals are well known to have severe side effects on patients and on healthy people. There is no justification for exposing the unsuspecting public to these drugs produced in pharm crops grown in open fields.

Vaccine Files: Corrupt Journal Articles Help Determine Court Outcomes

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Barbara Loe Fisher is a tireless advocate of both vaccine truth and choice and the Natural Solutions Foundation nominates her for our Hall of Fame. Barbara continues to examine carefully the vaccine industry, its products and its corruption. Her site, www.NVIC.org, is a mine of information and assistance on vaccine and vaccination issues. She is an ally and a resource of great value.

Barbara’s latest commentary on the corrupt – and corrupting – vaccine industry is a very important read.
In it she points out that vaccine safety and effectiveness have not been demonstrated by the studies published about them even in prestige journals. Those studies are of poor quality and show little that can be relied upon scientifically, but are, none the less, used as the evidence relied upon by vaccine courts to determine whether vaccines have harmed or killed anyone.

The Natural Solutions Foundation has filed a Citizens Petition with the Federal Trade Commission demanding hearings on whether vaccines are safe and/or effective and asking for a ban on any advertising or materials which suggest that they are either safe, effective or both until that fact is established.

And click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2220) to read the latest news on the “accidental” Baxter International contamination scandal in which live, virulent Avian Flu H5N1 virus was somehow mixed with seasonal flu vaccine shipped to 18 countries. This mixture would allow re-assortment or mutation of the Avian Flu virus which currently is very ineffective in causing human disease. Such alteration of the virus could potentially allow it to become as deadly as the Avian Flu has been predicted to be when it causes the next “inevitable” pandemic. Of course, if it is mixed in with other flu viruses and injected “by accident”, the next pandemic really IS inevitable.

Please share this information as widely as possible, and make a tax deductible donation (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189) as generously as possible so that the Natural Solutions Foundation can continue to bring you vitally important information and fight for your health and freedom.

Vaccine Studies: Under the Influence of Pharma

Barbara Loe Fisher

If you take more than a casual look at the way the mass vaccination system in the U.S. works, you see that pharmaceutical companies marketing vaccines have a lot of clout.
It was the pharmaceutical industry that told Congress in 1982 that they were going to leave the nation without vaccines if they didn’t get liability protection but have opposed making it less difficult for vaccine victims to obtain federal compensation in the U.S. Court of Claims under a 1986 law that gave them liability protection.
It is Pharma lobbyists, who bully the FDA into fast tracking vaccines like Gardasil and who sit at the CDC’s policymaking tables urging that new vaccines be recommended for use by all children so they can persuade state legislators to mandate vaccines like influenza vaccine.

How Big Pharma Influences Medical Journals
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal reveals the clout that Big Pharma has in the world of medicine journal publishing, specifically the publishing of scientific articles about vaccines. In a Cochrane Collaboration review and analysis of published influenza vaccine studies found that influenza vaccine studies sponsored by industry are treated more favorably by medical journals even when the studies are of poor quality.
This analysis confirms that drug companies marketing vaccines have a major influence on what gets published and is said about vaccines in medical journals. It is no wonder that there are almost no studies published in the medical literature that call into question vaccine safety.
The preferential treatment of Pharma-funded studies also explains why the risks of an inappropriately fast-tracked vaccine like Gardasil are underplayed in the medical literature and why a physician like Andrew Wakefield, M.D. who dared to publish a study in 1998 in a medical journal (The Lancet) calling for more scientific investigation into the possible link between MMR vaccine and regressive autism, has been mercilessly persecuted for more than a decade, by both Pharma-funded special interest groups, as well as public health officials maintaining close relationships with vaccine manufacturers.

Study Finds No Correlation Between Quality of Study and Publication
This recent review identified and assessed 274 published studies on influenza vaccines for their methodological quality and found no relationship between study quality, publication in prestige journals or their subsequent citation in other articles.
The researchers also found that most influenza vaccine studies are of poor quality but those with conclusions favorable to influenza vaccinations are of significantly lower methodological quality. The single most important factor determining where the studies were published or how much they were cited was sponsorship, with those partially or wholly funded by the pharmaceutical industry having higher visibility.
The authors commented: “The study shows that one of the levers for accessing prestige journals is the financial size of your sponsor. Pharma sponsors order many reprints of studies supporting their products, often with in house translations into many languages. They also purchase advertising space in the journal. Many publishers openly advertise these services on their website. It is time journals made a full disclosure of their sources of funding”.

The HPV Vaccine — Just One Example of Inappropriate Influence Endangering Public Health
Last month the National Vaccine Information Center (www.NVIC.org) called on the Obama Administration and Congress to investigate Gardasil vaccine risks. NVIC has long questioned the inappropriate influence of vaccine manufacturers in federal vaccine licensing and policymaking and state vaccine mandates.
In 2006, Merck’s Gardasil vaccine was fast tracked by the FDA at Merck’s request and in 2007 Merck lobbyists mounted an aggressive lobbying campaign to get Gardasil mandated by state legislators for all sixth grade girls, which would have assured the big drug company a predictable market.
The Pharma lobbying effort in 2007 to get all states to mandate Gardasil failed but every other vaccine produced by drug companies and licensed by the FDA in the past quarter century has been mandated. Those new mandates were added to state vaccine laws by legislators and public health officials at the urging of vaccine manufacturer lobbyists and Pharma funded organizations touting vaccine studies published in the medical literature.

Massive Increase in Number of Vaccines Given
In the past three decades, the numbers of doses of government recommended vaccines for children and medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics has tripled to 69 doses of 16 vaccines, with 48 doses of 14 vaccines targeted to children under age six.
Pharma lobbyists have persuaded most states to pass laws requiring two to three dozen doses of most of the 16 government recommended vaccines. Last year New Jersey became the first state to mandate influenza vaccine for children attending daycare and school.
In the past few years, Dr. Jefferson has authored several independent reviews of influenza studies published in the medical literature for the Cochrane Collaboration, which have been published in the British Medical Journal, questioning the quality of published scientific evidence for influenza vaccine effectiveness and safety for the elderly as well as children.
Clearly, if the makers and marketers of vaccines can influence the quality and quantity of the scientific evidence published in the medical literature proving that vaccines are safe and effective — evidence that is used by states to mandate vaccines and by the U.S. Court of Claims to deny compensation to vaccine injured children — then Congress was wrong in 1986 to protect the makers and marketers of vaccines from liability for injuries and deaths caused by those vaccines.

Government Vaccine Recommendations Based on Tainted Evidence
The U.S. Court of Claims vaccine injury compensation awards, and state vaccine mandates are justified on the strength of scientific published in medical journals. It is time for medical journals to disclose all financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. It is time for studies questioning the safety and effectiveness of vaccines to receive a fair hearing in scientific journals rather than editors confining themselves to primarily publishing studies funded by the pharmaceutical industry maintaining that every vaccine is totally safe, effective and necessary.
Kudos to the British Medical Journal for having the integrity to publish Dr. Jefferson’s comprehensive analysis of pharmaceutical money influence on vaccine studies published in the medical literature. Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for the scientific community, Congress and the public to put an end to the undue influence the pharmaceutical industry has on the science and policy of mass vaccination in the U.S.

And this quote just in from Dr. Joseph Mercola (04/29/09):

“Could a mixed animal-human mutant like this occur naturally? And if not, who made it, and how was it released?

“Not one to dabble too deep in conspiracy theories, I don’t have to strain very hard to find actual facts to support the notion that this may not be a natural mutation, and that those who stand to gain have the wherewithal to pull off such a stunt.

“Just last month I reported on the story that the American pharmaceutical company Baxter was under investigation for distributing the deadly avian flu virus to 18 different countries as part of a seasonal flu vaccine shipment. Czech reporters were probing to see if it may have been part of a deliberate attempt to start a pandemic; as such a “mistake” would be virtually impossible under the security protocols of that virus.”

The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III
(US Army, Ret.)

Big Pharma Company “Accidentally”
Contaminates Vaccines With LIVE
AVIAN FLU VIRUS in 18 Countries

Protecting Yourself and Family

Dr. Rima and I are still in Germany where the talk of health freedom advocates is this horrifying late-breaking story, though you may already be aware of it. Although it is being widely reported around the world, the US MMD (media of mass deception) appears to have a blackout placed on this story.

World media are reporting that Baxter Pharmaceuticals has admitted that it “accidentally” contaminated various vaccine batches with Avian Flu viruses. These batches were shipped to 18 countries. Clearly, either 1. stupidity and incompetence or 2. intentional contamianation of flu vaccine lots was at work.

Number 1 is easy to understand. Number 2 comes into focus quickly when you realize that there are many competing Avian Flu Vaccines already in production and in the Pharma “pipeline” although Avian Flu has been slow to become pandemic by “jumping the sepecies barrier” to humans in large numbers.

Vaccines are profitable ONLY if used in huge numbers. Competing vaccines, for a disease which has yet to pose any reasonable threat, have a tough economic row to how. But a good, solid cluster of cases, or, better yet, several clusters, would create a hue and cry for those vaccines which is difficult to imagine. Bottom line for Big Pharma? One of the biggest wins in history. Bottom line for Little People? A manipulated disaster of unprecedented magnitude precipitated by unprecedented avarice and greed.

Baxter International Inc. is no stranger to recalls and lethal contaminations:

January 17, 2008 Recalls 9 lots of heparin sodium injection products due to a higher than usual number of reports of adverse patient reactions after suspending production Voluntary recall of all remaining lots and doses of its heparin sodium injection multi-dose, single-dose vials and HEP-LOCK heparin flush products http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/baxter02_08.html

February 28, 2008 Voluntary recall of all remaining lots and doses of its heparin sodium injection multi-dose, single-dose vials and HEP-LOCK heparin flush products http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/baxter02_08.html

July 30, 2007 Baxter recalls faulty infusion pumps http://www.devicelink.com/mddi/blog/?p=443

February 2, 2006 Urgent recall letter on faulty volumetric pumps classified by FDA as a Class I recall http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/baxter-unit-fda-classifies-customer/story.aspx?guid={FE374F7D-FCE4-40B8-99CF-4E0A0C46F058}

July 24, 2001 Albumin Buminate 5 percent, used to treat burn and shock victims, recalled following revelation that it was tainted with HIV-2 http://www.aegis.org/news/ct/2001/CT010716.html

December 12, 2005 Dialysis machines recalled due to faulty transfusion tubing which kinks http://www.redherring.com/Home/14857

October 21, 2001 Baxter International Inc. recalled some of its blood-cleaning filters pending results of an investigation into the deaths of 23 kidney dialysis patients in Croatia http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-10322069_ITM

So through either conspiracy or stupidity, either way, a potential pandemic was nearly unleashed on the world.

What happens then? Here is what the US has planned:

1. Immediate demand for mass vaccination without the right to object on religious or other grounds.

2. Compulsory vaccination or dentention under Patriot I, Patriot II, BARDA, BioShield I, BioShield II and/or State Emergency Medical Powers Acts.

And here is what the UN has planned:

1. The “North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza” provides that in the case of a pandemic, “U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law during a pandemic” setting the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies (Jerome Corsi, http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2007/020907_power_grab.htm)

Baxter mixed a virus which has a hard time infecting people (H5N1 Avian Flu) with one that infects them easily (“Seasonal Flu”) in a medium which can promote mutations of the H5N1 virus into a type which can infect us easily. What will be in the vaccine you are forced/coerced/threatened into allowing into your body? Who knows?

What we do know is that you and I want, demand, must have, the right to say “NO!” to vaccinations and other treatments that we do not want. The Police Power of the State ENDS at my skin and yours!

Your action is needed now. Click below to send your letter demanding that Congress pass legislation NOW assuring your right to refuse vaccination whether there is a declared Pandemic or not.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830

Breaking News from Europe!

This week, Austria and Hungary won the right, after several rounds of losses in the WTO and EU dispute resolution systems, to ban genetically modified foods, specifically MON810 and TK25 maize (corn) from their countries. This is of enormous importance to food quality, health and health freedom and sets important precidents in Europe and, because of the WTO, potentially around the globe. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/038509e8-0794-11de-9294-000077b07658.html

The Natural Solutions Foundation is just giving birth to Natural Solutions Foundation – Europe and we will be taking this opportunity to create national petitions here in Europe, starting with Germany, to tell national parliaments that the will of the people is NOT to eat Frankenfood.

As you probably already know from our discussions of what is going on at Codex, the US is trying very hard to force GMO “food” and seeds on an unwilling third world and on Europe. This victory in Europe can help to change the balance of power in Codex as well.

“Mouse Warrior” Action Items

Congress, the President and other decision makers must get your message loud and clear! Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder. That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:

New Action Item:

Tell the President and Congress that we want them to protect our right to refuse medical treatments including vaccinations

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830

1. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills!
HR 875 and S.425

We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.

You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

2. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom

You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate through the White House halls.

Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!

Click below to tell President Obama that we want REAL change — which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671

Click here to send an Open Letter to the President

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2096

3. Right to Use – Right to Choose – Use Nano Silver

Thanks to Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments has been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.

Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405

Want to know more? Read Defending Nano Silver:

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=1773

4. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority – and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation! We oppose H.R. 875 and S. 425, but do support divesting the FDA!

With those bills, Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Dr. Laibow Reporting from Europe

Europe is ripe for health freedom because they are loosing their health, food and freedom at an astonishing rate. In some ways, that rate is even faster than the loss of freedoms in the US. Things have gotten so bad here that people are ready to make them right now.

We have been meeting with anti-censorship, food freedom activists, physicians, dentists, patients, vaccine “truthers” and others on a gruelling schedule here in Europe since we arrived about two weeks ago. The consensus is clear: Europe is ready for a strong and effective health freedom movement and we are here to make that happen.

There are organizations here which focus on health freedoms and we will be forging alliances with those that are effective and focused on the solutions, not on internacine warfare and wasting time (that should sound familiar to Health Freedom advocates in the US!) General Bert and I are finding a huge welcome from the people we are meeting with during our fact-finding, private diplomacy mission here in Europe. Click below to see my report on our activities (and stay tuned for the next update).

The report includes our presentation to a 2,000 person anti-censorship gathering in Switzerland and work with videographers and health freedom advocates in Germany. We’ll be discussing the new allignment developing in the EU and how what happens in Europe will effect our freedoms here in the US and the rest of the Americas.

We first raised the issue of Weaponized Avian Flu as a real threat to world security last summer. Since then we have revisited the issue as developments warranted.

We questioned how many laboratories around the world had pharmaceutical and gov’t funding for weaponized Avian Flu research, and how many such “studies” were needed to guarantee that a virulent version of the virus would escape containment and lead to a pandemic. That question still remains unanswered.

However we now see that even the most sophisticated pharmaceutical containment systems are not full-proof. And what was the Avian Flu virus doing “accidentally” in the vicinity of vaccines?

We must be clear: we do not know if this “accident” will lead to a world wide flu pandemic. We pray not. But what we want the most is for you all to be prepared.

Dr. Rima Recommends:

What do I recommend today? Just what I recommended a couple of days ago, in our last Action eAlert, before the pandemic risk threat level was so dramatically raised by the Baxter Pharmaceutical “accidental” flu virus contamination of vaccinations —

“I recommend a large dose of HOPE and a fulfillment of PROMISE… the Hope that together we are making a difference… the Promise that we will always try!”

We’ve been in Europe where people are shocked but not surprised about revelations such as the Baxter contamination indictment. Gen. Bert and I presented at the well attended AZK anti censorship coalition conference in Chur, Switzerland weekend before last. Approximately 2000 people filled the City Hall of Chur where leading truth and freedom movement activists and whistleblowers spoke to a rapt crowd. The video report of this conference will be available on line shortly and I’ll let you know when you can watch it.

Corruption in the Economic and Pharmaceutical worlds were detailed by insiders. General Bert and I offered a detailed and comprehensive look at Codex and its Genocidal agenda, past and future.

But what happened after that is really exciting. We see a new alignment developing in the EU! What happens in Europe will effect our freedoms here in the US and the rest of the Americas.

So here is your part: if you are a health freedom supporter in Europe or have language skills that you are willing to volunteer to translate information into various languages, we can share what we know, and learn from our European colleagues as we create the “Natural Solutions Foundation – Europe” organization. If you have friends, relatives and contacts in Europe, please contact them and ask them to visit www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org and sign up for the free, secure and very important Health Freedom Action eAlerts. We will be publishing action steps for those living in Europe as we go forward. And of course, please ask them to join our NSF-EU forum at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSF-EU/join

Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom, globally! The globalists are trying to destroy it. Let’s “planetize” it!

Pandemic Flu Alert: Media Reports Virus Vaccine Contamination

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org
www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org

UPDATE: See our White Paper: Stay Home, Stay Alive: Your Right to Self-Shield:
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2752

Big Pharma Company “Accidentally”
Contaminates Vaccines with AVIAN FLU VIRUS

Many of you may already be aware of this late-breaking story. It is being widely reported around the world, but the US MMD (media of mass deception) appears to have a blackout placed on it.

World media are reporting that Baxter Pharmaceuticals has admitted that it “accidentally” contaminated various vaccine batches with Avian Flu viruses. These batches were shipped to 18 countries. Clearly, either 1. stupidity and incompetence or 2. intentional contamination of flu vaccine lots was at work.

Number 1 is easy to understand. Number 2 comes into focus quickly when you realize that there are many competing Avian Flu Vaccines already in production and in the Pharma “pipeline” although Avian Flu has been slow to become pandemic by “jumping the species barrier” to humans in large numbers.

Vaccines are profitable ONLY if used in huge numbers. Competing vaccines, for a disease which has yet to pose any reasonable threat, have a tough economic row to how. But a good, solid cluster of cases, or, better yet, several clusters, would create a hue and cry for those vaccines which is difficult to imagine. Bottom line for Big Pharma? One of the biggest wins in history. Bottom line for Little People? A manipulated disaster of unprecedented magnitude precipitated by unprecedented avarice and greed.

Baxter International Inc. is no stranger to recalls and contamination:

January 17, 2008 Recalls 9 lots of heparin sodium injection products due to a higher than usual number of reports of adverse patient reactions after suspending production, Jan. 2008

February 28, 2008 Voluntary recall of all remaining lots and doses of its heparin sodium injection multi-dose, single-dose vials and HEP-LOCK heparin flush products http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/baxter02_08.html

July 30, 2007 Baxter recalls faulty infusion pumps http://www.devicelink.com/mddi/blog/?p=443

February 2, 2006 Urgent recall letter on faulty volumetric pumps classified by FDA as a Class I recall http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/baxter-unit-fda-classifies-customer/story.aspx?guid={FE374F7D-FCE4-40B8-99CF-4E0A0C46F058}

July 24, 2001 Albumin Buminate 5 percent, used to treat burn and shock victims, recalled following revelation that it was tainted with HIV-2 http://www.aegis.org/news/ct/2001/CT010716.html

December 12, 2005 Dialysis machines recalled due to faulty transfusion tubing which kinks http://www.redherring.com/Home/14857

October 21, 2001 Baxter International Inc. recalled some of its blood-cleaning filters pending results of an investigation into the deaths of 23 kidney dialysis patients in Croatia http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-10322069_ITM

So conspiracy or stupidity, either way, a potential pandemic was nearly unleashed on the world.

What happens then? Here is what the US has planned:

1. Immediate demand for mass vaccination without the right to object on religious or other grounds.

2. Compulsory vaccination or detention under Patriot I, Patriot II, BARDA, BioShield I, BioShield II and/or State Emergency Medical Powers Acts.

And here is what the UN has planned:

1. The “North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza” provides that in the case of a pandemic, “U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law during a pandemic” setting the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies (Jerome Corsi, http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2007/020907_power_grab.htm)

Baxter mixed a virus which has a hard time infecting people (H5N1 Avian Flu) with one that infects them easily (“Seasonal Flu”) in a medium which can promote mutations of the H5N1 virus into a type which can infect us easily.

Your action is needed now. Click below to send your letter demanding that Congress pass legislation NOW assuring your right to refuse vaccination whether there is a declared Pandemic or not.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830

If, in the event of a Pandemic, you choose, for example, to take safe and effective Nano Silver – www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions – rather than dangerous and potentially deadly vaccines, this MUST be your right without being detained or declared a felon, forcibly detained or otherwise moles.

Now that you have this information, please make sure that everyone you know gets this information from you with the request to take action and send this on to their contacts as well.

We will continue to post updates at: www.HealthFreedomUSA.org Health Freedom Blog

2010 Update: www.DrRima.net

“Dr. Rima Recommends” is a regular feature of the Health Freedom Action eAlerts sent to all the members of the Health Freedom Mouse Warrior Team.

Here is a sample of her recommendations, from Spring 2009 [rev:05.02.09]:

What do I recommend today?

I recommend that you take positive actions to protect your self, your family, your health and your access to wholesome foods and dietary supplements.

New Nano Silver Solution site: http://www.healthyagain.biz/naturalsolutions/

1. Click here to send this open letter to President Obama and your Congressmen and Women:

The President:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671

Congress:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

2. Click here to support the Natural Solutions Foundation, you health freedom champions. Wait a bit and there may be nothing left to defend. Remember, the “Stimulus Plan” makes any medical care which is not approved by the new Super Bureaucracy in Health And Human Services a forbidden treatment or option.


http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

3. A. Click here to send a strong message to Congress that the so-called “Health Care Reforms” in the Stimulus Bill are unconstitutional and violate your rights. Therefore, they MUST be repealed in favor of legislation which memorializes you right to control your body and your health choices. Anything less is catastrophic and will mean that your options can only be exercised off shore in the near future.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

B. Click here to tell Congress “No!” to forced industrialization of family farms, natural and home food production, under the guise of fake (sic) “Food Safety” bills that merely give more power to Washington bureaucracies:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134

Are you prepared to surrender your right to natural health to Codex, to Federal and international agencies, and to the Pharmaceutical corporations? If you are, please, please do nothing.

Oh, by they way, your reproductive rights are next. Here is what is happening in the Netherlands. If Holland goes, can the US be far behind?

Bert and I presented at the AZK anti censorship coalition conference in Chur, Switzerland weekend before last. Approximately 2000 filled the City Hall of Chur where leading truth and freedom movement activists and whistleblowers spoke to a rapt crowd. Corruption in the Economic and Pharmaceutical worlds were detailed by insiders. General Bert and I offered a detailed and comprehensive look at Codex and its Genocidal agenda, past and future.

But what happened after that is really exciting. We see a new alignment developing in the EU! What happens in Europe will effect our freedoms here in the US and the rest of the Americas.

You can find out more at my video Report from Europe:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmMXIfYZ6AE

We’re also discussing the creation of an EU Natural Solutions Foundation, with a leading European Constitutional Attorney and Law Professor — how to create the petition to reopen EU policy on natural supplements, food, herbs, medicine and Codex.

One million signatures needed in EU, 50K signatures needed in Switzerland, and we have allies from all of the continent who will work with us to bring this petition forward. The EU has strong recall provisions which we lack in the US but it would be very helpful to our side to detach the EC from the “rear” of the US in its slavish support of the policies of the Bigs (Big Pharma, Big Agra, Big Chema, Big Finance and Big Govt) which the US brings forward on every Codex issue.

Only on GMOs does the EU differ from the US, and that rift has been meaningful up to now. We want more rifts, bigger rifts, better rifts!

Perhaps we want the EU out of Codex. We shall see what the Constitutional Law Professor has to say when he advises us.And we will, of course, advise you!

Do we want a European presence for the Natural Solutions Foundation, just as we have an African and a Panamanian? Of course we do! And that, too, will be part of the discussion. We are building for Global Health Freedom at the same time that the other side is destroying for global health fascism.

Which side are YOU on? Where is your support? Of course it is with freedom. Now, check at least one of the boxes below to know what you want to do to build the momentum and power of the health freedom movement over the next 7 days:

Disseminate, Disseminate, Disseminate! In activism, there are only two options: have enough money or have enough people to bring your point of view forward compellingly. Well, we have people. You have more people. And they have yet more people.

Please be aware of what all these people have accomplished already. Like stopping the ’06 anti-CAM FDA guidance; like keeping the DSHEA protective language in the ’07 FDA bill… Never lose heart!

It is up to us to make sure that the forces which are rapidly trying to destroy our food, our fertility and our freedoms do not succeed. We are, after all, free men and women who own our own bodies and we must vigorously protect that ownership.

So the time has come. Paul Revere is swinging his lantern. You are on the winning side, but you must act, and act and act. Now.

I am proud to be associative with the Natural Solutions Foundation and I know you are, too. Let’s take that pride and manifest it as power: the Power to Speak Truth and Manifest Freedom – Health Freedom

Please share this health freedom information with your friends and contacts and ask them to help protect food and freedom, too. Let them know that they can get their very free subscription to the Health Freedom Action eAlerts at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187.

Thanks!

Yours in health and freedom,
