Research Indicates That GMO Could Be a Cause of Infertility
natural-fertility-info.com
Is it possible that the foods you eat are actually affecting your fertility and inhibiting your chances of getting pregnant? The answer is a resounding, “Yes,” according to dozens of research groups worldwide who have been studying the effects of Genetically Modified Organisms found in many of today’s most common foods.
Is it possible that the foods you eat are actually affecting your fertility and inhibiting your chances of getting pregnant? The answer is a resounding, “Yes,” according to dozens of research groups worldwide who have been studying the effects of Genetically Modified Organisms found in many of today’s most common foods.
Genetically Modified foods, according to researchers, are becoming a real problem when it comes to fertility, causing an influx in worldwide infertility rates. Since the 1970’s alone, sperm counts among the world’s male population have declined as much as 40-50%, according to some studies. GMO foods may be just one of the reasons, warn those studying the phenomenon.
Despite alerts being published by the world’s most renowned scientists, manufacturers continue to use GM foods in their products to feed to both livestock and humans.
The problem has become so great that the EU has actually banned the use of GMO products throughout Europe, while the United States continues to allow them throughout our nation. While some of the top food manufacturers like Kellogg®, Heinz®, Pepsi®, Coke® and Kraft®, have changed their recipes in Europe, no longer using GMO ingredients in their products, those same products sold in the States continue to use these dangerous ingredients, thanks to the lack of action being taken by the FDA.
So, why do genetically modified foods present such a danger for animal and human fertility? According to a report published last spring by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), “There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects.” These findings have caused the AAEM to encourage all physicians to “…educate their patients, the medical community and the public to avoid all genetically modified foods.”
Risks Most Associated with GMO Foods
The Austrian Health Ministers reported in 2008, that their own research indicated that fertility rates have suffered dramatically due to GMO exposure, as has the health of the human immune system. Those who regularly ingest GMO foods are more likely to be sick, age faster and have a harder time getting (and staying) pregnant.
In study after study, the effects on fertility were alarming, claim researchers. In one report, the testicles of some animals actually changed colors from a normal pink to an alarming blue after being fed GMO produced feed. In addition, sperm was shown to be altered, resulting in fewer pregnancies overall. DNA too has shown alterations after ingesting even the smallest amount of GMO foods.
But, males are not the only ones being affected by GMOs. Female fertility too is under attack. Female animals being studied showed an alarming increase in an inability to get pregnant as well as a spike in premature births; low birth weight babies and infant mortality after being fed a regular diet of GMO. Rats given GMO feed in Europe were shown to give birth to babies that regularly died within weeks of their birth (sometimes as many as 99%), compared to only a 10% mortality rate for those fed regular feed.
One of the few long-terms studies (there are not many long-term studies done on GMO foods) showed that mice fed GMO corn over a period of 20 weeks had greatly impaired fertility compared to the mice fed non-GMO corn. In addition the offspring of the GMO mice also suffered from lower fertility rates.
In the U.S., pig farmers in the Midwest reported that more than 1,000 pigs on their farms became sterile after being fed a regular diet of GMO feed over several months.
Considering the dire consequences of using this type of food product, why do manufacturers continue to add it to both livestock feed and human food products? Designed to include a built-in pesticide that kills insects when they eat it, Genetically Manufactured Foods contain Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to keep all sorts of insects from killing the crops. This increases profit margins as farmers lose less of their crops. Unfortunately, the same Bt that kills off the insects is believed to be causing widespread health and fertility issues throughout the world, causing many countries to ban its use altogether until it can be proven to be safe for consumption. This has left some food manufacturers scrambling to change their ingredients in Europe, while continuing to use these same dangerous products in U.S. foodstuffs.
To make matters worse, the FDA has yet to require food manufacturers to list the use of GMO foods on their packages, leaving many consumers unaware of what they are really eating. This can make it even harder to make the wisest and healthiest food choices while shopping.
Which Foods are Most Likely GMO?
The highest GMO food grown is soy. In the U.S., approximately 54% of all soybeans cultivated in 2000 were genetically-modified, in 2010 93% of soybeans are genetically modified. Yet another reason to avoid soy foods.
While soy, corn and potatoes are the most prevalent GMO foods, there are many others that you should be aware about as well, such as:
- Salmon
- Canola oil
- High fructose corn syrup/corn sugar (on of the reasons there is so much GMO cornbeing grown. The other reason for so much corn is that it is readily fed to livestock)
- Dairy (conventional cows are injected with the genetically engineered hormone rBGH/rBST and are frequently fed GMO corn and grains.)
- Processed foods (many processed foods have been tested and shown to contain some GMO ingredients.)
How To Avoid GMO Foods
In the US there are currently no labeling laws requiring that the inclusion of GMO foods be placed on the label. The best ways to avoid GMO foods are to buy organic and shop at the local farmer’s market.
Buy organic – If it is organic it is not a GMO food. In the US and Canada manufacturers are not allowed to label something as 100% organic if it has been genetically modified or if it is an animal and has been fed genetically modified feed. So when it comes to eggs, dairy and meats, organic is a must.
Know your numbers – On produce there is a little sticker that has a number on it. This can help you identify if the produce is GMO, organic or conventional. Keep in mind that food producers are not required to tell us if the produce they are selling is GMO, so buying organic is still the best option. Producers of GM foods can choose to opt out of putting PLU labels on their produce if they feel it will impact the consumers choice to purchase their product. If retailers don’t expect to price a GM item differently than the same conventional item, they can label the GM item with a four digit PLU and omit the ‘8’ identifying it as a GM product.- If it is a 4-digit number, or is a 5 digit code beginning with a ‘0’ the produce is conventionally produced.
- If it is a 5-digit number beginning with an ‘8’, it is GM. However, do not trust that GE foods will have a PLU identifying it as such, because PLU labeling is optional.
- If it is a 5-digit number beginning with a ‘9’, it is organic.
Avoid processed foods – Processed foods can contain GMO ingredients and do not have to disclose it on the label. They can also contain other harmful ingredients such as MSG and other chemicals without disclosing them on the label. In addition, processed foods are not healthy and should be avoided anyway.

DIETS RICH IN SATURATED FAT MAY ACTUALLY HELP PREVENT DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE
Natural fats improved the health of those participating in the study
Current dietary advice says foods containing high levels of saturated fats such as cream, butter, red meat, eggs and cheese should be avoided because they increase the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer.
But a study published in a leading medical journal has found the opposite is true, with a diet full of natural fats improving the health of people taking part.
Professor Sherif Sultan, a heart specialist from the University of Ireland, said: “We urgently need to overturn current dietary guidelines.”

Vaccinated Versus Unvaccinated Children 2016 Health Study Pulled From Publication
The just-ended presidential election cycle in the USA has something very much in common with vaccine ‘science’, or so it seems: Both produce results that are questioned, contentious and even manipulated with varying degrees of culpability. Strong words! Maybe, but factual to the point of proof as in the scientific journal article that was “unpublished” after vaccine acolytes raised all sorts of hell about it and the study’s results proving that “Vaccinated children were significantly less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with chickenpox and pertussis, but significantly more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies and NDDs (defined as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or a learning disability).
In the Abstract’s Conclusion, it was noted that “In this study based on mothers’ reports, the vaccinated had a higher rate of allergies and NDD than the unvaccinated. Vaccination, but not preterm birth, remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors. However, preterm birth combined with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples is needed to verify and understand these unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on children’s health.”
According to Baxter Dmitry at IWB (Investment Watch Blog) [1], the study was “unpublished” at Frontiers In Public Health, “but a cached version available on internet archives has also been removed, suggesting there is a serious campaign to stop members of the public from viewing the study. However a screenshot of the abstract was saved before it was scrubbed from the internet,” and which I have inserted below thanks to Baxter Dmitry.
Question: Does anything sound familiar regarding control mechanisms, especially when things don’t go the way controlling interests want them to go?
Answer: Either pull the article a la Dr Andrew Wakefield notoriety or demand vote recounts all the way up to a state’s Supreme Court!
However, there’s manipulation by the vaccine industry and its ‘press corps’ extolling totally unscientific and fraudulent reports (as confirmed by various Big Pharma [4] and CDC [5] whistleblowers) published everywhere with great fanfare, even when many of those vaccines are the ‘coincidences’ that cause today’s horrendous neurodevelopmental disorders not seen in the medical literature until the onset [late 1980s forward] of mandated vaccinations, some starting immediately after birth!
Personally, I find it extremely interesting that scientific journals obviously kowtow to skewed pro-vaccine science radical acolytes, especially those who promote apparently fraudulent studies such as Frank DeStefano, William Thompson and Coleen Boyle—U.S. CDC employees and bureaucrats, while Congress boldly looks the other way!
Generally, I think the vaccine industry and Big Pharma, in particular, owe Coleen Boyle, PhD, a tremendous debt of gratitude because she apparently perfected and became the ‘Mother of Obfuscation’regarding the manipulation of research data to produce statistical results vested-interests want and need for published scientific studies. Her research ‘magic and fingerprints’ apparently can be found in the Vietnam Agent Orange and several vaccine studies, especially the famous Danish MMR vaccine—no-Autism-link study!
Boyle’s ‘research’ work on disassociating Agent Orange with Vietnam War veterans’ health problems obviously gained her not only the respect of the pharmaceutical industry but a unique status and position she obviously enjoys within CDC as their ‘point person’ before Congress.
YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3cyoJLGbTw?
Furthermore, Boyle apparently played a ‘guiding tutorial role’ along with Diana Schendel (Thorsen’s CDC girlfriend) in the Poul Thorsen Danish MMR vaccine study the CDC always trots out as proof that the MMR vaccine does not cause Autism based upon Danish health data that were massaged around to get the results the CDC obviously was looking for, but also was scammed out of more than $2 million by indicted and “criminal-at-large-in-Denmark” Poul Thorsen!
If any paper should be retracted, vilified and removed from publication on the CDC’s website and in the New England Journal of Medicine, it should be the Poul Thorsen Danish MMR vaccine study [2, 3] co-authored with Diana Schendel, which you can read here that states, “This study provides strong evidence against the hypothesis that MMR vaccination causes autism.”
N Engl J Med. 2002 Nov 7;347(19):1477-82.
A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and autism.
The double-standards, which ‘guide’ and prevail regarding vested-interest-science and independent-research-science studies publication, retractions and discussions about vaccines, must be addressed if there is to be any hope of ever ending the ever-growing, frightening neurodevelopmental disorders* children have been contracting overwhelmingly [6] ever since vaccines took off [7] like greased lightning at the behest of the CDC/FDA, the totally-misinformed-and-proselytized medical professions and their financially-generous ‘muse’, Big pHARMa.

MY INTERVIEW WITH FORMER CBS STAR REPORTER: FAKE NEWS
CBS will conveniently forget how it aided and abetted the CDC by censoring real news
CBS is now publishing the names of sites they claim are fake news. Well, what about CBS itself?
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’re aware that a film, Vaxxed, has been showing in theaters across America and overseas—and audiences are stunned by its revelations.
Vaxxed exposes a huge scandal at the CDC, where a long-time researcher, William Thompson, confessed (2014) that he and colleagues committed gross fraud in a study of the MMR vaccine.
Thompson admitted the evidence showed the vaccine led to a higher risk of autism in children—but that finding was intentionally buried, and the vaccine was given a free pass.
Of course, mainstream reporters have been mercilessly attacking Vaxxed, and a segment of the population finds it impossible to believe that the CDC would ever commit this kind of fraud.
So, as a mind-changer, let me take you back to the late summer of 2009, and the Swine Flu epidemic, which was hyped to the sky by the CDC. The Agency was calling for all Americans to take the Swine Flu vaccine. Remember?
The problem was, the CDC was concealing another scandal.
At the time, star CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, was working on a Swine Flu story. She discovered that the CDC had secretly stopped counting cases of the illness—while, of course, continuing to warn Americans about its unchecked spread.
Understand that the CDC’s main job is counting cases and reporting the numbers.
What was the Agency up to?
Here is an excerpt from my 2014 interview with Sharyl Attkisson:
Rappoport: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly] stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the “pandemic,” without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?
Attkisson: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it [after it was published on the CBS News website] and, in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.
—end of interview excerpt—
I’ll add a few details. It was routine for doctors all over America to send blood samples from patients they’d diagnosed with Swine Flu, or the “most likely” Swine Flu patients, to labs for testing. And overwhelmingly, those samples were coming back with the result: not Swine Flu, not any kind of flu.
That was the big secret. That’s what the CDC was hiding. That’s why they stopped reporting Swine Flu case numbers. That’s what Attkisson had discovered. That’s why she was shut down.
But it gets even worse.
Because about three weeks after Attkisson’s findings were published on the CBS News website, the CDC, obviously in a panic, decided to double down. If one lie is exposed, tell an even bigger one. A much bigger one.
Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC’s response: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents — the CDC’s best guess is 22 million — came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” by Daniel J. DeNoon).
Are your eyeballs popping? They should be.
In the summer of 2009, the CDC secretly stops counting Swine Flu cases in America, because the overwhelming percentage of lab tests from likely Swine Flu patients shows no sign of Swine Flu or any other kind of flu.
There is no Swine Flu epidemic.
Then, the CDC estimates there are 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US.
So…the premise that the CDC would never lie about important matters like, oh, a vaccine increasing the risk of autism…you can lay that one to rest.
The CDC will lie about anything it wants to. It will boldly go where no person interested in real science will go.
It will completely ignore its mandate to care about human health, and it will get away with it.
And CBS will conveniently forget how it aided and abetted the CDC, by censoring real news, and instead opted for egregious and titanic fake bullshit.

PSYCHEDELIC MUSHROOMS COULD TREAT ANXIETY, DEPRESSION
Could magic mushrooms compete with pharmaceuticals?
In the wake of the announcement that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved large-scale trials of ecstasy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) comes the news that several universities have already been experimenting with using mushrooms to help relieve the symptoms of major depression and anxiety.
If approved as a treatment, going back to the basics of using psychedelic drugs to treat psychiatric conditions might just offer the public both a more natural cure and offer stiff competition to the pharmaceutical industry.
Two studies on these drugs were performed simultaneously – one at Johns Hopkins University and the other at New York University’s Langone Medical Center. The results were published in The Journal of Psychopharmacology.
The studies focused on those who had a diagnoses of severe depression and/or anxiety, as well as those who had life-threatening cancer and were suffering from mood disorders as a result.
In both studies, patients were invited to go on “trips” using “magic mushrooms” in a controlled environment. At Johns Hopkins, 78% of patients noted a reduction in their depression symptoms and 83% stated they had noticed they were experiencing fewer episodes of anxiety. After six months, 65% of the participants said they were cured of their depression and 57% stated they were no longer experiencing anxiety.
NYU’s study yielded similar results, with 60 to 80% of patients stating that they saw a dramatic reduction in their symptoms. 70% of those who participated said this was one of the most meaningful experiences of their lives.
Stephen Ross, of NYU’s Langone Medical Center and lead author of his study, stated:
“The most surprising thing to me is that this actually worked. I was highly skeptical. The moment they get psilocybin, their distress comes down. That’s very new in psychiatry, to have a medication that works immediately for depression and anxiety and can last for that long.”
Using psychedelic drugs may be a return to psychiatric roots. In the 1950s and 1960s, psychiatrists often experimented with hallucinogenics on their patients. Many times, they found they helped alleviate symptoms. However, the era of the “war on drugs” and other political issues that made them both illegal and taboo put an abrupt stop to the research. And we may just be getting back to it.
H.S. STUDENTS RECREATE $750 MEDICATION FOR ONLY $2
Students defeat crony Big Pharma profit model
Martin Shkreli, otherwise known as Pharma Bro, made headlines last year when he upped the price of the HIV drug Daraprim by almost 4,000% in a day.
Knowing this drug was necessary to save many people’s lives, it appeared Shkreli had done this for no other reason than to profit off of other’s desperation, but a group of school boys in Sydney, Australia have found a way to recreate the major ingredient in the drug for only $2.
Alice Williamson, a postdoctoral fellow in chemistry from the University of Sydney, teamed up with a local high school to help oversee science projects.
That’s when she had the idea to see if she could get the boys she was coaching to make the medicine for much cheaper. It would be an exciting project with real world application and consequences.
To start the project, boys at Sydney Grammar School, recreated the active ingredient of Daraprim, pyrimethamine, by ordering 17 grams of 2,4-chlorophenyl acetonitrile to kickstart their project.
This chemical can be purchased online for just $36.50 for 100 grams.
Although the boys had access to the patent method, it involved using reagents that were too dangerous for a high school chemistry lab.
Because of this, the boys had to find a way to recreate the drug using raw ingredients, creating both a financial and physical challenge.
The 16- and 17-year-olds have been working together for the past 12 months in order to recreate the drug’s active ingredient, taking time both before and after school to do so.
Last week, they were finally successful. They created 3.7 grams of pyrimethamine which Williamson confirmed to be worth about $110,000.
While the drug is still available in non-US countries for $1-$2 per pill, it is only available in the United States through Turing Pharmaceuticals, which operates on a closed distribution model.
To be sold in the US at the cheaper rate, Shkreli would have to allow trials to take place to compare it to his own drug.
As it doesn’t seem he’s the benevolent type, anyone attempting to sell a new drug, such as the inexpensive one the high school students created, would need to fund their own study to prove its effectiveness.
This could cost a upwards of a few million dollars. Therefore, it’s unlikely their drug will hit the market any time soon.
However, Williamson says she hopes this experiment can show pharmaceutical companies that the high price tag for the medication is ridiculous.
“How can you get away with charging $750 for an essential medicine to so many people who are already vulnerable?”

What The Fukushima? Greens Embrace Nuke Power
After dodging another Fukushima disaster, can we continue to avoid disaster of nuclear power plants on earthquake fault lines like Diabolo Canyon in California? Environmentalists have opposed nuclear power as dangerous in the past, but they are now following Obama’s lead in favoring it over power sources that emit carbon dioxide. That’s right — nuclear waste that has to be safely stored for thousands of years and is some of the most toxic substances on earth less of a threat than carbon dioxide that plants need and consume naturally. Just like Kerry said that air conditioning is a greater threat than ISIS.

Recommended Thermostat Settings for Home Comfort
Recommended Thermostat Settings
During the warm weather, it is generally recommended that you set your home's cooling system to 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you are home. If you will be out of the house for four or more hours, consider raising the setting so the cooling system only comes on if the temperature tops 88 degrees Fahrenheit. It is estimated that for every degree higher you set your thermostat over 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months, you could save approximately six to eight percent off your home energy bill, per degree.
So, keeping your home's temperature slightly higher and using the best settings for spring and summer can ultimately help save you money. Later in this article, we give an overview of the benefits of installing a programming thermostatto easily manage your thermostat throughout the day.
In the winter, you can save energy and keep your costs in check by keeping your thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit while you are at home during the daytime. Energy.gov reports that turning your thermostat lower by 10 to 15 degrees for 8 hours per day will help you see an energy usage reduction of 5 to 15 percent per year on your bill.
Depending on your family's personal comfort preferences, one idea you may consider is lowering the thermostat at night while you sleep. Many people find it comfortable to sleep in a cooler environment while using winter blankets to regulate warmth. It's important to note that indoor humidity plays a role in the comfort of the air in your home.
