It is Time to Make a Fuss about Poison in Your Food

​        We hear about GMOs and Round Up
                   in our food supply,
  but is it just another inevitable part of life? 


    Are we fighting a battle for GMO labeling
       and regulation that can’t be won?







Genetically Modified Organisms are known as GMOs and represent the alteration of food seeds to produce higher yields with the use us glyphosate, or Round Up.  The seed is genetically altered to resist the chemical spraying.  Unfortunately,  the human body is suffering from the chemicals and the illnesses caused are rarely associated with the widespread use of this poison in our food supply and in our environment.

If you have not grasped the magnitude of GMOs on the planet, the issue could be easily dismissed.  Most are  unaware of the dangers and that was the plan.  GMO crops were developed with very little investigation or regulation and they infiltrated our food supply before we understood.  As people become aware of what GMOs do to the populations of animals and humans that eat them, they step up, demanding unadulterated food.


At this point, GMO crops are within most manufactured foods.  Almost all US corn, soy and wheat is from a GMO crop.  This means that food products from corn oil to animal feed are poisoned.  Most grain cereals and breads will show residue of glyphosate, which is the  same weed killer used in homes and on highways.

Your body regularly handles some poison and detoxes it with normal processing, but once the burden is too high, the body falters.    Feeding daily doses within the food supply, eating animals that have been fed this toxic poison, eating milk products from these same animals and finding these crops within cereals, breads, crackers, pasta and soy products  is overburdening the body. 

If you are already sick, you begin to understand the chain of events that brought your body into submission.  If you are not yet, the problem seems less critical.  The truth is that whatever your position, you have little choice.  The consumer's right to know the facts about  GMOs has been blocked.  

There is no labeling that identifies GMO products in the US.  Meanwhile entire countries have outlawed GMO production.  Other nations demand truthful labelling so that the consumer can choose if and when to poison themselves. 

America, forever feeding off corporate greed, has done neither of these things.  Meanwhile, people are suffering from "designer diseases" for which "designer drugs" are soothing symptoms until death.


Poisoning is only one aspect of the damage glyphosate does in our food supply. It is important to understand that glyphosate is a chelator that also binds to minerals in the soil. GMO crops grown in glyphosate treated soil are prevented from absorbing and utilizing these micronutrients because they are binding to the chemical.   This means a weaker food supply for consumers.

Additionally the GMO plants are less able to draw in nitrogen and return it to the soil, which is what plants do for us naturally.  Eventually we end up with nitrogen poor soil which is lacking in minerals and nutrient value. Ultimately there are fewer nutrients available for your body from commercially grown, GMO crops and their by-products.  Our bodies slowly diminish as our food supply becomes less beneficial.  We have become malnourished while eating plentiful amounts and becoming obese.

If your government put a stop to glyphosate use today, it will take a year for the glyphosate to begin to break down. After breaking down, it will take decades for it to disappear. This means you will have multiple sources of contamination for many years. It will be in the air, under your feet and in your food, not to mention any storage in your body organs or tissue.


If GMO production is everything it is touted to be, then there should be little issue with identifying its presence in our food supply.  No one screams when food is labeled “organic.”

Leaky Gut Syndrome is the Instigator of IBS, Allergies and Chronic Pain

8/22/2015

No one wants to talk about a leaky gut.  
It doesn’t even sound interesting, but if 
you have autoimmune issues or any of 
the following conditions,  you will likely 
want to check out what it is and how to 
cure it.

• Joint Pain
• Chronic Skin Conditions, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rashes
• Diarrhea
• Gas or Bloating
• Abdominal Pain
• Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia
• Food Allergies
• Depression
• Arthritis
• Weakness
• Heartburn
• Insomnia
• Asthma
• Anxiety
• Gluten intolerance


Leaky Gut Syndrome, the source of much unidentified pain, has only been acknowledged by alternative medicine practices until recently.  The condition is now so prevalent, due to the typical American diet, that traditional Western medicine is acknowledging its existence. 

​Because their is no pharmaceutical for the condition, there has been little discussion of Leaky Gut Syndrome, but it is real.  The overburdened belly, that has lived for too many years on junk food and sugars, reaches its limits and begins to manifest in symptoms that are belligerent and demanding.

In holistic medicine practices, the cure is to feed the body what  it wants rather than medicate the symptoms and deny the existence of a sick gut.  The jury is out as to how Western medicine will collectively decide to treat the condition, but the good new is that it is finally being recognized.

The short explanation of Leaky Gut Syndrome is that the walls of the intestines, which can include bowels, become compromised and more porous, causing a leak into the blood stream. Bacteria and toxins meant as waste are “leaked” into the blood system causing a wide variety of issues. This leak damages your immune system and causes malabsorption of the nutrients. You become sick from both from toxic exposure and eventually from the lack of nutrition. It can be caused by poor diet, parasites, infections and even medications.

What are the symptoms?

The list of symptoms above are just the most common.  Every body is different and how it reacts to a leaking gut will be different for everyone.  You should not expect to have every symptom on the list or be surprised if you don't recognize many.  

What is important, is that the symptoms of a leaking gut mimic other conditions. Because Western medicine is not in the habit of diagnosing a leaky gut, it is most always misdiagnosed. The treatment given circumvents the cause and wellness stays just out of reach.

Long term gut leaks go on to cause more dangerous conditions and compromises the immune system causing secondary illness. Those who work closely with the condition talk about its relationship to other autoimmune conditions like lupus, Crohn’s Disease, autism and multiple sclerosis.

Your doctor will likely not have the answer, so do your research. You will definitely find commentary on the “crazy concept” of Leaky Gut Syndrome and how it will serve only to extract money from unsuspecting believers. The fact is that the remedies for curing a leaky gut are natural and probably in your cupboard. 

So how do you cure Leaky Gut?


A knowledgeable profession can be a great help in managing a leaky gut.  Remedies will include:

• Anti-inflammatory Diet
• L-glutamine to strengthen lining of the small intestine
• Omega 3’s to reduce inflammation
• Probiotics to insure bacteria balance
• Digestive Enzymes
• Vitamin and Mineral Support

In truth, there is no pharmaceutical that will cure Leaky Gut Syndrome. The body will repair itself with the right supplements and supporting nutrition. If you choose to use medications to relieve symptoms, do so with caution. The wrong choice in medication could cause further damage.

It is Not Just Dandelions that Die When We Poison the Earth

8/20/2015

0 Comments

We are a well trained society that has been taught to believe that a yard with dandelions is unsuitable.   We spray and kill, never thinking about what is happening to the earth or its inhabitants.  


We spray dandelions and weeds with pesticides because we believe that “safe” means something in the dictionary of Corporate America. We believe that “environmentally friendly” could not be a lie and we believe the FDA is watching cautiously with our welfare in mind.  We have been marketed into thinking we are making the right choices, but is this liberal use of poison worth the extinction of a few dandelions?

In the world of weed killers, Round Up or glyphosate, is the most popular.  Its commercial and home use make it one of the most wide spread in the world.  A 2009 study found that Americans alone use a mere 100 million pounds of Round Up on lawns and gardens to eradicate weeds. Add to this the amount your government uses on public land, parks, waterfronts and highways.  Add to that the amount used on commercial crops and GMO production that contaminates your food supply.  We now use so much and spray so freely that you can count on having  glyphosate exposure with, or without, your personal use.

Monsanto, the maker of Round Up and glyphosate, continues to claim we are safe.  Cities across the nation have sued Monsanto  in regard to the safety claims of  this product, but fines are paid and sales continue without FDA interference. 


Here are a few bits that might change your mind about the safety of pesticides:

1.  Sri Lanka has identified glyphosate as the leading cause of kidney cancer. They have banned it’s use. 

2.  The growing of GMO crops depends on glyphosate. The heavy spraying on GMO crops, with a tolerance for the chemical, has  laden food supplies with poison that is passed on to the consumer.

3.  GMOs are linked to cancer, hormone disruption and severe liver and kidney damage.

4.  Many who test negative for gluten intolerance still do not do well eating wheat products. The suspicion is that they are being poisoned by the pesticide rather than allergic to the wheat or gluten.

5.  The White House has been linked to Monsanto for many years in relationships that appear to allow Monsanto to self-govern, moving freely without supervision.  The FDA rarely interferes.  

6.  Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, was a Monsanto lawyer for 4 years. As a Chief Justice, he has ruled in favor of Monsanto, over the people, his entire career.

7.  The ramifications of Round Up will take years to unfold. Many who study the issue believe it is showing today in “new” diseases and complications for the human body. Years from now, the cause will be identified and many years after that, we will beg to have this poison removed from our lives.

8.  Monsanto brought us Agent Orange, DDT and saccharine. We are clear about the progression of these products and the lies about their safety.

9.  Roundup is blamed for the current plight of the Monarch butterfly and bee populations.
​

10.  When parks and public areas are heavily sprayed, the insect population that dies can take years to recover.

11.  Pope Francis, a trained chemist, has spoken out against GMO, pesticides and workers who are exposed to chemicals. “This is our sin…Exploiting the earth…” he said.

Signs of glyphosate poisoning?

low sperm count
reduced urination
cough
diarrhea
drowsiness
nausea
vomiting
difficulty breathing
difficulty swallowing
permanent kidney damage
sore throat
stomach inflammation
blood in urine
infertility​

One cup of glyphosate, or Roundup, will kill an average sized human being.  Smaller does will still kill you, just more slowly through chronic illness and disease.

The Food Fight of Your Life:  Monsanto & GMO Production

8/17/2015

0 Comments

 
 We’ve all heard about the genetically modified organism and casually refer to the alteration of seed as GMO. Most people have a general idea about what a GMO is and have some form of an opinion developing.   We have been content with the lack of real understanding, but it is now time to make life altering decisions.

Some accept GMO foods as progress and inevitable. They hear GMOs are responsible for feeding the world and that sounds practical. They hear about pesticide resistant plants and think that might mean less dependency on chemicals.

Others have heard about, and ridiculed, groups being formed to resist GMO production, claiming there dangerous side effects and wanting to warn the world. At the very least, these groups claim, product labeling should announce the use of GMOs in the food supply so the public can choose to delete them from their diet. 

GMO “Bad” is not good enough…


To just dislike GMO produced foods because you’ve heard they are bad, is not enough. There is solid research about GMOs and although it can be conflicting, it is time to understand why and if one truly is affected by them. The decision you make could matter to the world.

Monsanto = GMO...


No one hears the name Monsanto without connecting it to GMO production. Monsanto, the leading GMO producer, has existed since 1901. It is responsible for Saccharine, DDT, Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone, Round Up and a large number of other products that are familiar, including their genetically modified seeds.

There is little disagreement that many products on the Monsanto list of creations are troublesome to say the least. Their dangers have taken years to uncover and even longer to be eliminated from the marketplace.

We are clear that the public was lied to about DDT being safe. We are clear that Agent Orange was responsible for catastrophic life changing conditions for those who were exposed to it during the Vietnam War. Now the awareness of Bovine Growth Hormone and Round Up is putting these products on the list of critical concerns by those who understand that these “safe” products are extreme hazards to health and the environment.


So what about this seed issue? Can we trust that genetically modified seed production is in our best interest? We have been lied to in the past, making at least half of the argument, Monsanto’s half, unreliable.

Where are US Controls?

Twenty-six nations have banned GMOs. Sixty-four countries demand GMO labeling. Among them China, Australia, Austria, India, Mexico and Italy, but not the United States of America. Those who wonder how this could be believe it is because the FDA does not effectively regulate Monsanto, ignoring the public demand for tighter controls.

Some very close alliances have existed between the White House, Monsanto and the US Food and Drug Administration. Alliances include Monsanto’s former lawyer, Michael Taylor, being given a position created for him by first President Bush in response to an FDA request. He was in charge of policy when GMO restrictions, or “non-restrictions,” were put in place by the FDA. 
Picture



Taylor later became the vice president of Monsanto and then on to the White House as Food Czar under President Obama which raises serious questions.  It appears that these incestuous relationships have allowed Monsanto to operate blatantly, without controls.

Cities across the United States have sued Monsanto in connection with dangerous products claimed to be “safe."  Once sued, Monsanto has been allowed to carry on with business as usual after simply paying fines. Even Monsanto fines reaching seven-hundred million dollars seem to have little affect on curtailing the sale of dangerous products.

Where is the Food and Drug Administration?

This is the FDA response to Monsanto’s submission for approval of genetically modified corn:

“FDA evaluated Monsanto’s submission to determine whether MON 87427 corn raises any safety or regulatory issues with respect to the intended modification or with respect to the food and feed itself. Based on the information provided by the company and other information available to the agency, FDA did not identify any safety or regulatory issues under the FD&C Act or current FDA regulations that would require further evaluation at this time. Monsanto has concluded that its glyphosate-tolerant corn variety, MON 87427 corn, and the foods and feeds derived from it are as safe as conventional corn varieties and, with the exception of the herbicide tolerance trait, are not materially different in composition or any other relevant parameter from other corn varieties now grown, marketed, and consumed in the U.S. At this time, based on Monsanto’s data and information, the agency considers Monsanto’s consultation on MON 87427 corn to be complete.”

Note that the FDA relies on “information provided by the company.” Curiously opponents are refused a platform. Those who oppose Monsanto reports find themselves without careers, with futures destroyed and ridiculed for opposing the findings. One has to wonder how this can be possible.

Making an Informed Decision…

The story is lengthy and is best told by the one hour plus video that follows. The video is comprehensive and supported by experts in countless fields. Evidenced by the fact that nations around the world refuse GMO production, one must question the legitimacy of the FDA.

The video will give you enough background to understand and make a decision about GMO production and if it is right for you. This is not someone else’s war.  It affects you. 


This is the Food Fight of Your Life.

“All Disease Begins in the Gut,” even Fibromyalgia

8/10/2015

It’s been 2000 years since Hippocrates mentioned it and finally, we are listening again.  "All disease begins in the gut" is as true today as when it was first said.   When disease strikes, the gut should be the first place we suspect, not the last. It can be responsible for minor upsets to catastrophic life conditions.

Body pain, diarrhea, constipation, exhaustion, bloating, abdominal discomfort, joint pain, anxiety, concentration lapses, memory lapses, depression, hyperactivity, fatigue, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, skin rashes, gluten intolerance, numbness, tingling, vaginal infections, nail infections, urinary distress and autoimmune diseases are the most recognizable symptoms of an upset gut.  These complaints are common, yet, are rarely  recognized as poor gut health. Because symptoms of an unhealthy gut are not on everyone's radar, they are usually misdiagnosed and medicated improperly.

Gut disturbances take time to manifest.  They can become so familiar to us, over decades of brewing, that they go unnoticed for years.  Finally, when true illness takes up residency, we look elsewhere for the cause, never suspecting the gut.  

Diagnosis of fibromyalgia, chronic illness or autoimmune conditions are among the usual misdiagnoses.  The initial reaction is to medicate the symptoms which can add to the issues by allowing them to evolve and persist.

The usual culprits to suspect with gut issues are candida and Leaky Gut Syndrome.  Both are  instigated by poor diet and wage war on the body.  Understanding these two possibilities could save you years of discomfort and searching.

The good news is, the gut can be healed and made peaceful again.  The varying symptoms and fatigue can be solved.  The body pain can be managed and normal life can be restored.  The bad news is that the solution is in life changes and a clean diet, not a pill.  Your belly is sick from what you've fed it.  When it rebels, it is demanding a cleaner life.

Before accepting a diagnosis for these symptoms make sure your troubles aren't being manufactured by your gut.  You cannot medicate yourself out of gut issues.  It takes changing behaviors and diet.

Don't Hesitate; Medicate

8/9/2015

At the first sign of illness, we are thoroughly trained to reach for pills. Pills stop the drip, cut the pain, settle the belly and alter the symptoms so we get can on with the day. We feel we are functioning relatively soon because the symptoms are lessened, but nothing has changed in terms of getting cured.  

The truth is that the masking of symptoms might be causing more harm than good.  By medicating, we gain the false sense of security that tells us we are getting better because symptoms have been put in check.  In reality we have tricked the body into an abnormal state and often reduce its defenses in the doing.   Without the symptoms, we ignore what the body actually needs.

Pills do not offer a cure. They can mask the pain, remove the swelling and curb the discomfort, but you don’t heal the source of the problem with pills.  

Heart medicine does not cure the heart, it changes the symptoms and regulates the situation. Antacids don't change the health of the gut, they change the symptoms.   The same is true of diabetes.  The medications offered do not cure the disease.  Proper diet and nutrition cure the disease.

Your body is the sole instrument of healing.  Supporting the body with what it needs, allows it to heal as designed.  In most cases, what it is demanding is not medication, but the power of nutrients to support the process of repairing itself naturally.

So how did we get off  track and forget about natural healing?  We were trained to forget.  We have become addicted to reaching for pharmaceuticals just like we were taught to smoke, through advertising.  The marketing has been masterful in making us dependent on pharmaceuticals and irrational about using nature to heal.


Think about what medication is actually doing to you before you indulge.  It is a serious decision with consequences.  Weighing the negative aspects over the positives is your decision, not your doctor's.   Ask questions and  choose wisely.
