Tell Congress: Keep sexual assault survivors' therapy records private!




Her rapists shattered her trust. Now her school is doing the same thing.
An unnamed student at the University of Oregon was brutally gang raped by three basketball players last year. The school ultimately expelled the three criminals — but waited months before taking action, did not pursue a court case, and had even recruited one of them despite knowing he had a record of sexual assault. It gets worse.
The sexual-assault survivor is suing the university — and the school is using her private therapy records from their campus health clinic against her in court.
Even in an era of gridlock, protecting sexual assault survivors' security and trust is a no-brainer. Sign the petition to Congress today and demand that private therapy records be kept private!
The school can get away with violating their students' privacy because of a loophole in FERPA — the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. But legal or not, patients expect confidentiality when they go to counseling, or the counseling won't work. This is especially true for sexual assault survivors whose security and trust has already been shattered once.
Even if it's legal, what the University of Oregon is doing is shocking, cruel, and flat-out wrong. As Kelsey Jones, another student from the school's Organization Against Sexual Assault, told NPR, "It's ten times harder now to seek help and feel safe, and feel OK to share 100 percent of what you're feeling."
Our friends at UltraViolet and Daily Kos have taken the lead on this issue. Let's add our voices and send Congress 50,000 Care2 names demanding action!
Be kind to each other,

Is your floor emitting toxic formaldehyde?

 

A recent 60 Minutes exposé revealed that one of the country's largest flooring retailers appears to be selling laminate with levels of toxic formaldehyde that exceed California health standards. Sign the petition and tell Lumber Liquidators to stop selling any unsafe Chinese laminate immediately, and pay to remove and replace the flooring for those who unsuspectingly bought their products containing this toxic chemical.
According to Global Community Monitor, Lumber Liquidators' Chinese laminate that the group tested can emit on average over 6 times the legally allowed level of formaldehyde under California Air Resource Board regulations. Formaldehyde can cause cancer at high levels of exposure, and cause chronic respiratory irritation and trigger asthma at lower levels.
Additional 60 Minutes reporting showed that Lumber Liquidators' Chinese factories were well aware of the elevated formaldehyde levels, yet may have knowingly and illegally labeled their products as CARB (California Air Resources Board) Phase 2 compliant.
In response to 60 Minutes’ reporting, and Global Community Monitor’s testing, Lumber Liquidators is offering to send home formaldehyde monitoring kits to customers who request them, which is inadequate and ignores the fact that they have sold products which fail to meet CARB health and safety standards.
Thanks for taking action!

Pick Your Poison-Aspartame Vs. Splenda

A little something I wrote a few years back at care2.com that's still relevant today.

 Sep 3, 2007

Once upon a time last year while I was enjoying a Diet Coke flavored with Splenda I decided to call the soft drink giant with a comment and suggestion. The comment was how much I preferred the Splenda flavored cola to its aspartame flavored counterpart. The suggestion was that they do away with the aspartame altogether. The Splenda was great I thought, and not only that, it also has no reputation for being a deadly poison. After some further research however I came to the conclusion it might just be the lesser of two evils. Dr. Janet Hull for instance on her website http://splendaexposed.com/ makes the point that many people think Splenda is the savior, but she thinks it may be just as bad.

At the time when I called the number on my can on pop I had recently been turned onto the website http://aspartametruth.com which consists of scientific research and testimony from various sources that indicates the stuff is just plain bad for you in the worst of ways. I mentioned this site and the man on the other end of the phone said my opinions would be noted and passed along or something to that effect. He also said that the aspartame flavored Diet Coke was one of their best selling products. You don't say, now we're getting somewhere! The root of all evil, the bottom line, the old mighty dollar. The phrases pick you poison, and compare and contrast come to mind.

Sucralose is the substance commonly known to consumers under the brand name Splenda and it is not without its fair share of criticism. The Sugar Association and their website The Truth About Splenda, which unlike Aspartame Truth.Com is an industry site brings up the following points.

 1.Sucralose is a chlorocarbon
 2.Up to 27% of sucralose that is ingested is absorbed
 into the body by the digestive system
 3.Long-term human studies with sucralose have not been
 performed

Fair enough, but this is the Sugar Association we are talking about and I would hazard a guess that they have a monetarily fueled interest in this subject. As is also the case with allegations of misleading advertising launched at Splenda from the makers of Equal, which by the way is just a brand name for aspartame!

False advertising claims are one thing. Health matters are something else altogether. Most of the criticism of Splenda by the Sugar Association and the makers of Equal focus on the advertising issues, which appear valid, but pale in comparison to people's wellbeing.

Industry criticism aside the aforementioned Dr. Janet Hull is a credible and prominent Splenda critic. Other credible sources are mentioned in Wikipedia's article on the subject. (linked throughout this article)

The article makes note of Food and Diet's webpage on the substance which mentions claims filed that allege "drug-like feelings of disorientation and confusion, headaches, depression, anxiety, diarrhea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, and more." stemming from Splenda. Also mentioned by Wikipedia is the natural and organic foods retailer Whole Foods Market who decided not to sell Splenda or other Suraclose containing products, citing concerns similar to that of Sugar Association.
 

If rarely occurring the side effects mentioned above are bad, but it seems that in the battle over which substance is worse for you aspartame currently takes the cake and flavors it too.

The two sweetners share mundane reported side effects such as headaches. But aspartame is currently in a league of it's own when it comes to the really disturbing ones. The companion article on aspartame on Wikipedia entitled  Aspartame Controversy makes mention of the fact that "a few studies have recommended further investigation into the possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma."

As I looked into these studies further I found their results are being found valid by some very credible people. The most respected of these studies was accepted for publication by the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. The study found Aspartame Causes Cancer in Rats at Levels Currently Approved for Humans! The long-term animal tests from the Italian cancer institute found increases in lymphomas, leukemia’s, and breast cancers in rats exposed to the sweetener. Among the people who took notice of this research and supported its findings was 
a member of the London parliamentary select committee on food and the environment, Roger Williams. He went so far as to inform the Commons "the additive was potentially 'far more dangerous' than Sudan 1, the banned food dye linked to cancer and found in some products in Britain."

Another source to cite the research as good evidence of a cancer connection to aspartame was the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) who called for the FDA to "to voluntarily switch to other sugar substitutes."

But only a year later a new government study attempting to refute the Italian Cancer Institutes research made CSPI change their tune. Or maybe the fact that their board of directors includes former FDA and other government officials had something to do with it. The study was the epitome of the phrase 'conflict of interest' and anything but independent and objective. Paul Joesph Watson's analysis of the study proves it laughable at best.

A documentary film has even been made entitled "Sweet Misery" that presents further evidence of a link between aspartame and cancer as well as other illnesses. The film also poses compelling questions such as "The FDA would not approve a poison to put on grocery store shelves and in hundreds of products just because a few political favors were pulled in, would they?"


Well we needn't look any further than the horse’s mouth to find the answer to that one. In 1981 Donald Rumsfeld stated he would use "political rather than scientific means" to finally get FDA approval for aspartame. As Dr. Betty Martini notes in a news article she wrote on the subject "For 16 years, the FDA resisted pressure to approve aspartame due to safety studies linking the artificial sweetener to numerous adverse reactions, including the development of brain tumors in animal studies." That is until Bushes former right hand man Rummy stepped in with his political clout.

MS like symptoms are another side effect reported to stem from the use of aspartame. For testimony on this one I didn't have to look any further than my own family. My mother related the following story to me:

"When I was in my early forties I started experiencing numbness and tingling in my wrists, elbows and shoulder.  Due to the nature of my work, which included repetitive movements, typing and sitting in one position for long periods of time the doctor and even I thought I was experiencing a form of carpal tunnel.  The numbness and tingling never subsided and in fact started moving down my back, into my lower legs and feet.  Eventually I got to the place where I couldn't sit for more than 15 or 20 minutes without my hips seeming to lock in place.  These symptoms only grew worse until I couldn't raise from a sitting or laying position without pulling myself up with the strength of my arms or being pulled up by another person.  Once I was in a standing position I would have to take very small calculated steps until I would gradually limber up enough to walk with a normal gait. 

My doctor thought perhaps I was suffering from fibro mialgia and started treating me with Zoloft and told me to do stretching exercises.  I continued to get worse and also felt weak so he decided to run a series of tests to rule out MS.  They performed an MRI on me and concluded that I wasn't suffering the effects of MS after all. 

I proceeded to go through psyical therapy and when receiving treatment the therapist asked if I drank a lot of diet soda.  He said he had been hearing from other therapists who were starting to make a connection between patients who were ingesting a lot of Equal brand sweetener, especially through drinking diet sodas. 

I began researching Equal, finding out that it was really aspartame.  I began purchasing soda products and using Splenda and did notice a big difference in the way I felt.  Admittedly I was seeing a chiropractor also but nearly 13 years later I have not experienced the same type of malady since. 

Recently I let down my guard and began drinking soda's containing Equal and noticed that I was experiencing headaches and more body aches and pains.  I am once again attempting to break away from Equal as a sweetening agent but now with the new found evidence I'm reluctant to use Splenda as a substitute.  Since most of my sweetener intake is the form of diet soda's I've decided to choose the Splenda as the less of two evils but am trying to limit my intake of even that artificial sweetener, allowing myself to savor more real, raw sugar and readjusting myself to drink more water.  In essence the verdict is still out on whether I will see any improvement in my condition." 

So in closing maybe the smartest thing we can all do is just drink water! Wait, never mind, I forgot they add fluoride to that now. But hey I'm just being paranoid. If the Government says Aspartame Is Good For You why wouldn't you believe them? They didn't know about the dangers of Agent Orange either? Right?

20 Houseplants to Clear Toxins From Your Home

Bringing a bit of nature into your home does more than brighten the atmosphere. Introducing houseplants into various rooms in the house can help reduce the chance of getting seasonal sicknesses (such as the common cold), remove airborne contaminants (volatile organic compounds [or VOCs]), reduce the chance of headaches, lift your mood, decrease your blood pressure, reduce allergies, improve sleep and much more. [1]
The 20 plants listed below are specifically known for their air purifying properties.  And while an open window may feel like all the fresh air you need, did you know that everything from toilet paper to common household cleaners can contain chemicals and release toxins like formaldehyde? Or that VOCs like benzene can be released into the air by everything from the paint on your walls, to the printed material found in your home?
So why not breathe a bit easier and enjoy the beauty of a new houseplant at the same time!
(All plants listed will clear CO2 and may clear more VOCs than noted.)


1. Golden pothos (Scindapsus aures): Clears formaldehyde and other VOCs.
2. Ficus alii (Ficus maeleilandii alii): Good general air purifier.
3. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum): Clears benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene.
4. Lady Palm (Rhapis Excelsa): Good general air purifier.

5. Snake plant (
Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’): Clears formaldehyde.



6. Aloe: Clears formaldehyde and benzene.
7. Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis): Clears formaldehyde.
8. Dwarf/Pygmy Date Palm (Phoenix roebelenii): Clears formaldehyde and xylene.
9. Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema Crispum ‘Deborah’): Clears air pollutants and toxins.
10. Chrysanthemum (Chrysantheium morifolium): Clears benzene.
11. Gerber daisy (Gerbera jamesonii): Clears trichloroethylene and benzene.
12. Red-edged dracaena (Dracaena marginata): Clears xylene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde.
13. Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina): Clears formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene
14. English ivy (Hedera helix): Clears airborne fecal-matter particles.
15. Azalea (Rhododendron simsii): Clears formaldehyde.


16. Heart leaf philodendron (Philodendron oxycardium): Clears formaldehyde and many other air pollutants.
17. Warneck dracaena (Dracaena deremensis ‘Warneckii’): Clears pollutants such as those associated with varnishes and oils.
18. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata Bostoniensis): Clears formaldehyde.
19. Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea sefritzii): Clears benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde.
20. Peace lily (Spathiphyllum): Clears formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, toluene and xylene.

BPA Free Toilet Paper Review. Made from Bamboo, Kora Brand - Or Charmin & Plant Some Trees!

From Dr. Mark Stengler's Health Revelations Newsletter:
By now you probably already know that hormone-like compounds hidden in plastic products like water bottles may be bad for your health. In fact, these compounds like BPA, PCBs, and phthalates... have been linked with everything from autism to cancer...

Researchers, from the Department of Waste Management at Dresden University of Technology in Germany, tested toilet paper...

Shockingly, they found that all but one of the hormone pretenders was in the toilet paper... and at very high concentrations.

Why Buy Healthy, Non-GMO Pet Food?

There are always dangers to the health of any living creature that eats food created in a science lab. Studies have found that rats fed GMO corn showed significant kidney and liver disease after only 90 days had negative effects on other organs as well, including the heart and spleen. The FDA has not posed the strict regulations on genetically modified foods that they have with other drugs and consumed products. Therefore the full extent of the necessary research has not been conducted.

Keeping our pets healthy is our responsibility, and the choices we make will greatly affect them. Unfortunately, today there are many pet food products that are unhealthy and can actually be toxic over time to our beloved pets. These products are marketed and labeled as “natural” and “healthy” but are actually not healthy or natural at all.

When shopping at GMOFreePetFood.com you can rest assured that you are buying your pet some of the most nutrient-dense, toxin-free and GMO-free food available for your pet.

No Vet Let Behind

A little something I wrote a few years back at care2.com that's still relevant today.
Jul 11, 2007


As the health care debate in America continues, so does the suffering of Vietnam veterans and citizens due to the toxic defoliant Agent Orange used in the war. The substance has been linked to everything from cancer, to birth defects of children whos parents were exposed. Gary D. Moore, SSgt USAF 1968-1972 has compiled an alphabetical index of the many diseases related to the effects of herbicide exposure, as well as medical and scientific terms used when reading about it.

Despite what any of us think about the wars our soldiers fight in, I think we can all agree our vets deserve nothing but the best health care available. Especially when one considers that many of their medical woes come as a direct result of their own Governments actions.

The
Wikipedia article on the subject states that...

"At the time Agent Orange was sold to the U.S. government for use in Vietnam, internal memos of its manufacturers reveal it was known that a dioxin,
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), is produced as a byproduct of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T, and was thus present in any of the herbicides that used it."

In other words they knew the risks! In 1984 a $180 million settlement resulted in one time lump sums of $1,200 being paid out to affected veterans. I am sure many affected veterans never saw a dime of this money. For the ones that did, I am sure that $1,200 did not go far!

The US has
refused to compensate Vietnam's Agent Orange victims and canceled a study looking into it's affects in the country.

It is also of interest to note that a April 17, 2003 study found that
Agent Orange Use Was Underestimated. It has also been exposed that the American army tested Agent Orange in Canada.My friend Karen Stillwell has been fighting an uphill battle with the Department of Veterans Affairs. She has recently written the agency a letter detailing her struggles and pleading for help. Here is the intro to that letter...

"I am writing with regards to my husband, James Maurice Stillwell. Honorably discharged from the Army, on January 15 th, 1971, who applied for benefits through the local veterans administration, back in the first part of February 2007. James was diagnosed with agent orange in his lungs, only half of his liver is working, and getting worse daily. His spleen is enlarged, the gallbladder has already been taken and his digestive track and large and small intestines are rotting away, again, due to agent orange, environmental issues, and herbicides via the police action in Viet Nam. He is going on the list for a liver transplant if the next medicine he starts taking doesn't work. That will be probably after the month of July. He has to see the doctors again in Nashville ,TN. at the Veterans Hospital in a couple of weeks for another appointment.
We have not heard from nor have we seen any type of benefits as of this date, July 11 th/2007."

I strongly suggest you read the whole letter
HERE.

Their struggle detailed in the letter is amazing. At every corner they have been met with apathy and contempt. The sad thing about it is similar struggles have been taking place for decades now. Vets have been fighting for what is owed them to no avail.

Even more shocking is the fact that things of this nature still continue with our Military today.

The makers of the documentary film 
Beyond Treason which covers topics such as Gulf War Illness and the current use of Depleted Uranium  state in their film description...

"What you don't know about your government could kill you... Department of Defense documents obtained through the Freedom of Information
Act expose the horrific underworld of the disposable army mentality and the government funded experimentation upon US citizens conducted without their knowledge or consent" 


So it's a new war and basically the same old crap! Watch the trailer HERE.
 
We have to fight for justice for the veterans and citizens of Vietnam while remembering that history is repeating itself as we speak. The following links are some activist websites and petitions to get you started.

Tell the Military: Stop Mutilating and Killing Animals



Did you know that the military is mutilating and killing more than 8,500 animals each year?
 It's true and they are using your tax dollars to pay for it.
At U.S. military bases all across the country, soldiers are forced to use live animals for trauma training exercises. Pigs and goats are shot, burned, stabbed or have their limbs broken in order to mimic wounds that could occur on the field.
New advances in science mean that we no longer need to use live animals in order to mimic human battlefield injuries. In fact, the Department of Defense recommended ending the program almost a decade ago.
If passed, the BEST Practices Act would put an end this cruel program once and for all. It would ban the expensive and ineffective trauma drills on live animals while still ensuring that our military medics and others gain the skills they need to save lives on the battlefield.
Thank you,

Save Whales and Dolphins From Reckless Navy Warfare Training

Have you heard about the planned Naval war exercises from Hawai'i to California?
The Navy will use missiles, underwater explosions, surface-to-air gunnery, missiles, and mid-frequency sonar... right in whale and dolphin habitat!
Times are already pretty tough for whales and dolphins. They swim in increasingly polluted waters, and many of their main food sources are being depleted by overfishing and changes in the ocean acidification and temperature.
Now the US Navy is planning to literally drop explosives and blast head-splitting sonar in key habitat for whales and dolphins.
The Navy and National Marine Fisheries Service estimates that, over the course of the Navy's plan, training and testing activities will cause nearly 9.6 million instances of harm to whales, dolphins and other marine mammals.
The sonar and explosives will include active sonar and explosives, which can cause these sonar-sensitive marine mammals to lose their way, beach themselves, or drown.
For the Wild Ones,

Unbelievably bad science in the movie Seeds of Death?

Scroll down past the video for the other side of the story.




First off, what about this unbelievably bad science, Myles?
GMO “science” smacks of “tobacco science”

All the scientists pushing GMOs today almost perfectly resemble the sellout doctors, scientists and medical authorities who recommend cigarettes three generations ago.

There was a time when Big Tobacco ruled the realm of “science” and even ran full-page advertisements in the Journal of the American Medical Association claiming, “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette!” ( Click here to see the ad for yourself .)

The mantra of the day was that cigarettes had, “no evidence of harm.” This is the exact same false rationalization currently used with GMOs. Of course, the only reason there is “no evidence of harm” is because any scientists who happen to document evidence of harm are immediately railroaded, censored and threatened for daring to conduct real science. Any scientific work that manages to get published showing health risks of GMOs is quickly retracted after journal editors are threatened and intimidated by biotech operatives. (Yes, the biotech industry routinely uses mafia-style tactics to censor the truth about GMOs . )

GMOs have never been tested for long-term safety in humans, so any claim of “no evidence of harm” is obviously ludicrous. A person could say the same thing immediately after leaping off a cliff. “Hey, there’s no evidence of harm!” And there isn’t until you hit the ground, at which point it’s too late to stop the damage.
http://drleonardcoldwell.com/tag/protest-gmo?print=pdf-page
The biotech industry uses "tobacco science" to claim product safety.
Biotech companies like Monsanto told us that Agent Orange, PCBs, and DDT were safe. They are now using the same type of superficial, rigged research to try and convince us that GMOs are safe. Independent scientists, however, have caught the spin-masters red-handed, demonstrating without doubt how industry-funded research is designed to avoid finding problems, and how adverse findings are distorted or denied.

Independent research and reporting is attacked and suppressed.
Scientists who discover problems with GMOs have been attacked, gagged, fired, threatened, and denied funding. The journal Nature acknowledged that a "large block of scientists . . . denigrate research by other legitimate scientists in a knee-jerk, partisan, emotional way that is not helpful in advancing knowledge." Attempts by media to expose problems are also often censored. 
http://responsibletechnology.org/10-Reasons-to-Avoid-GMOs
Agent Orange contaminated more than 3 million civilians and servicemen, and an estimated 500,000 Vietnamese children have been born with deformities attributed to Agent Orange, leading to calls for Monsanto to be prosecuted for war crimes. No compensation has been paid to Vietnamese civilians and though some compensation was paid to U.S. veterans, according to William Sanjour, who led the Toxic Waste division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “thousands of veterans were disallowed benefits” because “Monsanto studies showed that dioxin [as found in Agent Orange] was not a human carcinogen.” An EPA colleague discovered that Monsanto had apparently falsified the data in their studies. Sanjour says, “If [the studies] were done correctly, they would have reached just the opposite result.”

By the 1980s Monsanto was being hit by a series of lawsuits. It was one of the companies named in 1987 in an $180 million settlement for Vietnam War veterans exposed to Agent Orange. In 1991 Monsanto was fined $1.2 million for trying to conceal the discharge of contaminated waste water. In 1995 Monsanto was ordered to pay $41.1 million to a waste management company in Texas due to concerns over hazardous waste dumping. That same year Monsanto was ranked fifth among U.S. corporations in EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory, having discharged 37 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the air, land, water and underground. In 1997 The Seattle Times reported that Monsanto sold 6,000 tons of contaminated waste to Idaho fertilizer companies, which contained the carcinogenic heavy metal cadmium.

Then in 2002 the Washington Post ran an article entitled, “Monsanto Hid Decades Of Pollution, PCBs Drenched Ala. Town, But No One Was Ever Told”. Monsanto began production of polychlorinated biphenyls in the United States in 1929. PCBs were considered an industrial wonder chemical – an oil that would not burn, was impervious to degradation and had almost limitless applications. Today PCBs are considered one of the gravest chemical threats on the planet.

GMO Soy Repeatedly Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality, Birth Defects

What Skeptics are Saying

Like the other studies listed here, Surov’s met a storm of criticism—sometimes even rightfully so.
In reference to another GM study, Mark Tester, a research professor at the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the University of Adelaide asks, “If the effects are as big as purported, and if the work really is relevant to humans, why aren’t the North Americans dropping like flies? GM has been in the food chain for over a decade over there—and longevity continues to increase inexorably.”
Sadly, North Americans are dropping like flies. Well, sort of. Genetically modified foods and related technology, like Monsanto’s Roundup, are quite often linked to significant organ disruption, sterility, impotence, and even obesity, one of the American public’s weightiest topics. While the contributors to those conditions, even in animal studies, can hardly be attributed to GMOs alone, they should not so eagerly be cast out of consideration.

In fact, Surov himself warns against jumping to conclusions. “It is quite possible that the GMO does not cause these effects by itself,” but may also be influenced by the herbicide Roundup (found in greater levels in Roundup Ready GM crops).

To be fair, many critics of these studies have reasonable points. There are factors in Surov’s and others’ studies worth scrutinizing, such as the breed and strain of animal used. King’s College London’s head of nutritional sciences research division, Tom Sanders, notes that Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen—in a French study that found rats fed Roundup-doused GMOs or given water contaminated with Roundup died earlier than those on other diets—didn’t provide data on how much the rats were fed. “This strain of rat is very prone to mammary tumors particularly when food intake is not restricted.” Moreover, David Spiegelalter of the University of Cambridge criticized Seralini’s control arm of the study, in which most subjects also developed tumors.
But even with the criticism, it doesn’t change the fact that GMOs are simply not proven safe by any means, and are being approved for human consumption prematurely.
Both Parties Guilty of Bad Science
Statistics can be turned and science performed badly, but this sword has two edges. The very scholars, researchers, and scientists accusing Seralini, Surov, and Ermakova of bad science are often guilty of advocating the widespread cultivation and consumption of genetically modified material after nodding at or performing themselves 90-day trials, assuming that the absence of side effects in what isn’t even a generation for a rat is evidence of safety in lifetime consumption by humans. Many, no doubt, are patted on the back for speaking against anti-GM movements by Big Agriculture and even the US government, repeated found deep in bed with industry.
It’s not like Big Ag and the government are making it easy to believe them when they say GMOs are safe to eat. Here are just a few examples of their sketchy past.
  • Monsanto bought out a research firm that pointed its finger at herbicides in colony collapse.
  • Processed food manufacturers and GMO firms contributed millions of dollars against GMO food labeling in Proposition 37, and were helped out by the Food and Drug Administration…
  • Which makes sense because, once-VP and lawyer of Monsanto is the chief commissioner of foods at the FDA. He was also a US Department of Agriculture commissioner.
In Ermakova’s case, mysterious hands burned paper on her desk and stole samples from her laboratory; her boss, under pressure from his superior, told her to stop researching GMOs. Patents on GMOs and contracts forced upon farmers make it even more difficult to perform studies unless paid for by Big Ag itself.

“We have no right to use GMOs until we understand the possible adverse effects, not only to ourselves but to future generations as well,” says Surov. “We definitely need fully detailed studies to clarify this. Any type of contamination has to be tested before we consume it, and GMO is just one of them.”

New Study Links GMO Food To Leukemia

GMO SCIENCE – STUDIES & RESEARCH
This compilation is a sample of the scientific references including over 2000 studies, surveys, and analyses that suggest various adverse impacts and potential adverse impacts of genetically engineered (GE/GMO) crops, foods and related pesticides. This list contains references regarding health impacts, environmental impacts, including impact of non-target organisms (NTOs), resistance of target organisms, pesticide drift, genetic contamination, horizontal gene transfer, unintended effects, as well as references regarding yields, social impact, ethics, economics and regulations. In most cases, links are provided to the abstracts for the references or links to sites where the study can be purchased.
The Institute of Science in Society:
Research and commercialization of genetically modified (GM) organisms exemplifies how science affects society. The adoption of GM crop cultivation has been widely studied and shown to impact both the health of people and the environment. Scientific publications, industry data, farmers and citizen reports provide toxicological, genetic, ecological, epidemiological evidence as well as witness statements relating to how the genetic engineering and artificial manipulation of life has far reaching consequences. Challenging a corporate coup of our food supply through thorough documentation and analysis of the evidence is necessary for survival of people and planet.
ISIS has been writing on these topics for well over a decade, and due to the very large number of reports we have attempted to categorize them.
GMO Dangers: How Much More Proof Do We Need? - "The other bogus claim that Big Agra makes is that GMO foods are perfectly safe. Yet there is undeniable scientific evidence that proves the contrary — GMOs pose a grave threat to human health."

Scientific Studies Proving GMOs Are Unsafe Health Risks "There are a multitude of credible scientific studies that clearly demonstrate why GMOs should not be consumed, and more are emerging every year. There are also a number of scientists all around the world who oppose them."
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) concluded in a study that GM foods contain pesticide residue has shown to produce human cellular endocrine disruptors measured at 1000 times below.

Corroborating the NIH, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) found that “GM foods pose a serious health risk.”

Eight hundred scientists from the Institute of Science in Society (ISS) have come together from all across the globe to demand that Monsanto’s GM experiment end.

In an open letter “from world scientists to all governments concerning genetically modified organisms” it was expressed that “GM crops offer no benefits to farmers or consumers. Instead, many problems have been identified, including yield drag, increased herbicide use, erratic performance, and poor economic returns to farmers. GM crops also intensify corporate monopoly on food, which is driving family farmers to destitution, and preventing the essential shift to sustainable agriculture that can guarantee food security and health around the world.”

The letter states: “We urge the US Congress to reject GM crops as both hazardous and contrary to the interest of family farmers; and to support research and development of sustainable agricultural methods that can truly benefit family farmers all over the world. We, the undersigned scientists, call for the immediate suspension of all environmental releases of GM crops and products, both commercially and in open field trials, for at least 5 years; for patents on living processes, organisms, seeds, cell lines and genes to be revoked and banned; and for a comprehensive public inquiry into the future of agriculture and food security for all.”

The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) report, authored by more than 400 scientists and backed by 58 governments, stated that GM crop yields were "highly variable" and in some cases, "yields declined." The report noted, "Assessment of the technology lags behind its development, information is anecdotal and contradictory, and uncertainty about possible benefits and damage is unavoidable." They determined that the current GMOs have nothing to offer the goals of reducing hunger and poverty, improving nutrition, health and rural livelihoods, and facilitating social and environmental sustainability.
On the contrary, GMOs divert money and resources that would otherwise be spent on more safe, reliable, and appropriate technologies.
http://responsibletechnology.org/10-Reasons-to-Avoid-GMOs
A veteran soil scientist wrote a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack warning of what he says is a newly identified pathogen linked to the herbicide Roundup that might be implicated in livestock fertility problems, as well as diseased corn and soybean crops.

Don Huber, plant pathologist and a professor emeritus from Purdue University, sent his letter (posted last Friday on the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance’s website) a week before Vilsack deregulated genetically modified alfalfa. The letter’s public release has generated renewed calls for the government to reverse course on the unrestricted cultivation of GM crops.

Huber coordinates the Emergent Diseases and Pathogens Committee of the American Phytopathological Society as part of the USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System.  He has researched glyphosate, the active chemical in Roundup, for two decades and is a longtime critic of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops that are genetically modified to make them resistant to the herbicide.

In his letter, Huber said the research findings were at an “early stage,” but wrote that this “electron microscopic pathogen appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings” and likely is connected to glyphosate.

GE Crops Contain Bacterial DNA That May Be Hazardous To Health

from PSRAST
(Physicians and Scientists for Responsible Application of Science and Technology)

Summary For Laymen
All genetically eningeered crops contain bacterial DNA. This DNA contains a genetic element (the so called "CpG motif") that stimulates the immune system to start a sequence of reactions leading to inflammation. Exposure to these genetic elements may lead to promotion of inflammation, arthritis and lymphoma (a malignant blood disease).

Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that DNA is not broken down in the gastro-intestinal tract to the extent formerly believed. Ingested DNA sequences large enough to contain whole genes have remained intact and entered the blood and tissues. This means that eating GE foods may increase the risk of said disorders.

Professor Cummins concludes: "The available evidence is sufficient to support a moratorium on the massive intake of GM crops by human populations until the genetic consequences are resolved in the laboratory."

The Fate of Food Genes and the DNA CpG Motif and Its Impact

Toxicology Symposium, University of Guelph
March 3, 2001

Dr. Joe Cummins, Emeritus Professor of Genetics,
University of Western Ontario, Canada

In evaluating the safety of genetically modified (GM) food crops it has previously been assumed that food is completely digested and the genes of the food organisms are not circulated to the cells of the predator. However, that assumption was not tested until quite recently and found to be deficient. Gene fragments from the food are circulated and sometimes integrated into the chromosomes of the predator. Similarly, the products of genes on the DNA of bacteria (principally proteins but sometimes RNA) governed how the bacterium interacted with the animal host.

However, it was recently discovered that the DNA sequence motifs serve as important signals that allow animals to recognize the genes of bacterial pathogens and turn on inflammation defenses. GM crops all contain bacterial DNA from the plasmids used in engineering their construction.
Today I will focus on the fate of genes in GM crops and their potential ability to alter and activate the immune system.
http://www.saynotogmos.org/scientific_studies.htm
Here are actual cases of GMO’s harm to humans and livestock (that we eat):
1. There have been numerous cases where animals have died or became serious ill and were put down in order to avoid mass contamination or to calm down the panic that would have caused even more damage to the food industry. In Hesse, Germany many cows died suddenly when they were fed with Syngenta’s genetically engineered maize cow food and as a result of this incident the authorities in Germany decided to slaughter the rest of the cows to avoid having the mysterious disease to get out and contaminate other cattle houses. Syngenta did admit that the protein used for the cow food maize is also used for human genetically engineered foods. Oh dear, why has Syngenta now withdrawn this protein from human genetically engineered foods? Let’s ask FDA.

- Syngenta Charged for Covering up Livestock Deaths from GM Corn

- Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Modified Food
2. Why should you be concerned that cows eating GMO foods died and/or got contaminated with a mysterious disease? Because, if you eat meat or chicken that is contaminated as a result of a GMO with re-engineered DNA that is contaminated with a pathogen, then the DNA genes contaminate your cells and are also harmful to you. These DNA genes can be INSERTED into your own genes.

- Genetically Engineered Food Alters Our Digestive Systems
 
- Assessing Survival of Transgenic Plant DNA in the Human Gastrointestinal Tract
 
- DNA from GE foods can end up in your genes 

3. Roundup Ready Soy was given to mother rats as food during a study and it was discovered that 53% of the babies born died within a couple of weeks, about 10 times worse than normal. The biochemical form and structure of rats are very similar to human which is why they are used so often for studies to protect humans against various diseases. So the study should be of a major concern to FDA and other authorities that are concerned with health impediments of GMO’s. What should be even more concerning to FDA is that the GMO soy beans given to these rats caused serious disturbances to the liver by changing the cellular function of the liver and the cell nucleus, which may cause serious changes to the way our body operates at the biological level. Who knows how far this may go – may be in a few years of nucleus changes, men will even get pregnant since some already are growing breasts due to consumption of hormones.

- Mother Rats Fed Genetically Modified Soy Led to 56% Mortality of Offspring

- Biological Effects of Transgenic Maize Fed Long Term to Mice

- Genetically Modified Soy Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality

4. If you don’t eat beef or don’t much care about rats, then do you like lamb? When was the last time you had lamb kobabs or lamps cutlets? Nearly 2,000 sheep have died after grazing on GMO cotton crops and were found to have server toxicity and inflammation of intestines and the same toxin exists in GMO foods intended for future release to people, starting in Asia and Africa.

- Mortality in Sheep Flocks after Grazing on Bt Cotton FieldsWarangal District, Andhra Pradesh” Report of the Preliminary Assessment, April 2006
 
5. In United States gastrointestinal diseases (chronic and acute) have increased dramatically since mid 90s and this has been linked to GMO foods given to sheep. In Sweden, where no GMO foods are allowed for humans or cattle, there has been no change whatsoever. Scientists are still researching the inflammation causes to the intestine and the study will take another 2 years to complete, while GMO foods are still being given to sheep in US.

- How Genetically Modified Foods Lead to Inflammatory Bowel Disease
 
6. In UK, GMO soy was put through a thorough test on a group of students at Sheffield University, half on GMO soy and the other on non-GMO soy and the research was conducted with all other parameters being equal, e.g. water consumption, diet size, environmental factors, etc. By the end of the research the GMO soy fed subjects were experiencing some allergies with 50% of them experiencing long term allergies – compared to no GMO soy fed subjects. 7. In laboratory tests, again and again, animals avoided GMO foods compared to non-GMO equivalent. Should we trust the instincts of animals that live based on their instincts? 8. Argentina has been one of the first countries to convert half of their arable land to GMO food production and are now the country with a major serious agricultural nightmare which has resulted in more than 20,000 farmers losing their land and livelihoods to superweeds that have destroyed the soil and is now a major agricultural crises in the world.

In India every 30 minutes, one farmer commits suicide because of devastating side effects of genetically modified organisms. 9. Scientists and Genetic Engineers themselves (if not coerced nor threatened with unemployment – or worse) tell us that GMO as used in crop development is not precise or predictable and has not been shown to be safe. The technique can result in the unexpected production of toxins or allergens in food that are unlikely to be spotted in current regulatory checks.

10. The scariest of them all – the authorities (FDA and others) as well as food corporations protest profusely to any kind of labeling of GMO foods. I don’t know about you, but that certainly concerns me that they would be so adamantly against labeling and so vehemently fighting against it – as if they have nothing better to do. Why are they so much against it? What is wrong with labeling or essentially saying, “… some foods are GMO and we (FDA) as well as our partners (Food Companies) don’t think there is anything wrong with them, but for the informed consumers’ choice and for fairness, we decided to include it in the labeling”. The fact that they assume that they know best and that they are the informed, logical, and trustworthy entity and us the people, who want labeling, are ignorant, fearful, and paranoid – tells me that they are hiding something. Why not be open and truthful and let people decide if they want GMO in their food or not? In a free country, should we not have the choice to eat GMO-free foods if we want?

Regarding animals avoiding GMO food, I can personally attest to seeing evidence that this is true. I was recently leaving non-GMO cat food outside for a cat I'd seen around and the entire bowl would get eaten in one day. This went on for two or three days before a friend of mine gave me some cheaper grain food she had left over after having switched her cats over to non-GMO as well. In all likelihood it was a chock full of GMOs, and lo and behold, not a bite was taken. So I switched back to leaving the non-GMO food outside, and you guessed it, every bit got eaten. It was well below zero on these days, if the cat was a stray it'd be extra odd for it to be picky. And the rabbit I saw around either didn't find the food or also possibly made the choice to be GMO-free!
Monsanto’s ‘biopesticide’ known as Bt is not only developing mutated insects and requiring excessive pesticide use, but new findings show that it is also killing human kidney cells — even in low doses. Amazingly, Monsanto’s superweed-breeding Roundup also has the same effect. Scientists have demonstrated in new research that the Bt pesticide, in addition to Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup, exhibit direct toxicity to human cells. The findings add to the long list of hazardous effects presented by Monsanto’s genetically modified creations.
These dangerous Bt crops currently engulf 39% of globally cultivated GMO crops, and Monsanto does not seem to be slowing down on their campaign to expand usage. Led by Gilles-Eric Séralini, a French scientist from the University of Caen, Séralini and his team are no strangers to the toxic effects of both Bt and glyphosate — the main component used in Roundup. Previously, Séralini and a group of other scientists found that Roundup is linked to infertility, killing testicular cells in rats. The report stated that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed.
At only 100 parts per million (ppm), Monsanto’s biopesticide lead to cell death. Furthermore, they found that Roundup at 57.2ppm  killed half of the cell population – 200 times below agricultural use.  This is concerning as researchers have previously detected Roundup in 41% of the 140 groundwater samples taken from Catalonia Spain that were actually above the limit of quantification. Even in very small doses, the research indicates that Roundup appears to be assaulting your biology.

To wrap things up, here are some choice replies to Myles Power on YouTube:  
What you ingest can't change your DNA?
http://metro.co.uk/2012/09/21/feeding-your-dna-does-your-diet-affect-your-genes-581760/
I found a slew of claims otherwise. I picked this one as it's completely unrelated to the GMO controversy. And, there's been a lot of claims made over the years that the amount of corn consumed is so high (it's used in much of the processed food as a filler, and sweetener) that it's detectable in the DNA. Again, unrelated to the GMO controversy.
So, I was thinking about something I vaguely remembered about cancer. And sure enough:
http://www.cancerquest.org/mutation-and-cancer.htmlgrowth

"For almost all types of cancer studied to date, it seems as if the transition from a normal, healthy cell to a cancer cell is step-wise progression that requires genetic changes in several different oncogenes and tumor suppressors. This is one reason why cancer is much more prevalent in older individuals"

And, we've been advised that the ingestion of tobacco products, through smoking or chewing causes cancer. Were we lied to?

So, I'm thinking Myles claim here is bullshit. Look, I don't know if GMO's are harmful or not. But, I'm seeing so much hand waving dismissal of studies that just keep popping up, and don't appear to be agenda driven, wrists must be getting strained. And, the advisers for all the countries that have issues with GMO's? Well, they're all silly bastards that buy in to conspiracy theories. Right.

Of course we can poison the well by attacking the fringe elements. That's easy. The problem is, people are biased. On both sides of this issue. Confirmation bias is in play, and working overtime. It appears we're getting some major spin.

WTF did i just watch? hahahah, who is this Myles Power kid? "I FOUND OUT A MAJOR CONSPIRACY! IN HER WEB SITE IT SAYS! "Not intended to diagnose, prescribe for, treat or claim to cure, or prevent disease conditions" is he for real? is he aware of basic law? the FDA requires ANY "alternative" medical practices to type write this down or else they would be taken to courts.

what a shame, i actually thought i would see something valuable, but then again, it comes from pseudo-intellectuals that think that GMO's are good for you.

i wonder if there is any GMO pusher that can go POINT BY POINT the whole movie seeds of death and prove that its all wrong, so far he shown 5 minutes of the movie he found "inaccurate" to his taste, 95% accurate documentary is pretty good.

funny the same people pushing GMO's now (after being brainwashed by idiots like this Mylis kid) said that sodium fluoride is also healthy, now that the whole world know that ALL there BILLION of dollars of laboratories and ACADEMIC GENIUSES were wrong and the "kooks" were right all along with spot on accurate science, they are removing it from the water supply around the world, here in Israel the head scientist who was responsible to the water fluoridation openly apologized and said "we were wrong all along", you know what this means? THEY WERE POISONING PEOPLE FOR YEARS!.
hem, no one cares, lets put spider genes into a water melon so it would be silky smooth from within, this is a good idea.

this is after THE SAME stupid campaigns, same stupid fake corporate "proves" same stupid paid puppets that push this poison, same shit same shitty dumb-asses different subject, when will they learn? its fucking hilarious.
and i cant go beyond the
"I FOUND OUT A MAJOR CONSPIRACY! IN HER WEB SITE IT SAYS! Not intended to diagnose, prescribe for, treat or claim to cure, or prevent disease conditions"

this is too funny :D i wont take his advise on the weather let alone on his opinions on such subjects as nutrition and genetic mutated chimeras as foods or medicine.
...
With all this debunking, I'm curious to know- if GMOs and vaccines, and modern medicine are so awesome, what the F*** is causing all these G** D***ed immune disorders, cancers, & autism in your opinion. Or is your "science" only good for "proving" things DON'T exist?  I like some-to-a-lot of the points you make in your videos, but then you lose me by your lack of acknowledging of the issues that remain. And making fun of a rap doesn't debunk. It (rapping) may be a tacky gimmick for attention to otherwise important information, but it doesn't disqualify that info.  Unless you are running a popularity site and not a debunking one. 
...
There is absolutely NO reason to genetically modify food or anything EVER!.  All the lies being told to you are from all the people connected to Monsanto or who actually want people to be killed off.  THERE ISN'T ANYONE WHO WORKS AT MONSANTO OR IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO EATS GMOS.  IF GMOS ARE SO SAFE, WHY ISN'T THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY EATING THEM?  BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE POISON.  Michelle Obama made a big deal about the fact that they have an organic garden to supply food for themselves.  The evidence that GMOs are poison is everywhere.  Ask any farmer who raises animals on GMO feed what happens to them after consuming the feed.  They get miscarriages, birth defects, cancer, all kinds of reproductive damage and then they die.  All the cows and pigs that have been dying in recent years is because of GMOs.  All the bees dying is because of GMOs.  I know for a fact that GMOs make people sick.  I was constantly throwing up and feeling sick all the time and didn't know why.  Then after I found out about GMOs and switched to an organic/non GMO diet, I stopped throwing and feeling sick.  It was immediate too.  Within 1 month of switching to non GMO food, I lost 15 lbs.  GMOs are poison!  GMOs were created to control the entire world's food supply and to kill off 90% of the population, but especially those people in Africa, India and Hispanic countries.  No one should be allowed to patent a living organism.

I think it's clear that Myles Power is on the wrong side of the GMO topic, just as he is about issues surrounding 9/11.
