I saw Dr Mary Newport, on a TV show at someone's home as I don't own a TV. She explained how she brought her husband back from Alzheimer's with coconut oil.
Families who've given it to loved ones swear by it
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2258665/Alzeimers-Can-coconut-oil-ease-Families-whove-given-loved-ones-swear-it.html
Again nutrition will give us our health. Are doctors there for the money? Does it seem that the FDA is owned by Big Pharma who both influence how the doctors treat us? Daaa!
I suggest at least cook with it.
Benefits in 3 hours: http://www.naturepacific.com/contents/en-us/d240_Coconut_Oil_Cures_Dementia.html
I find this absolutely amazing.
How much should you take: 1 to 3 table spoons is suggested. http://www.naturepacific.com/contents/en-us/d240_Coconut_Oil_Cures_Dementia.html
Looks to me like ever 8 hours is best. Morning, dinner and bedtime. Effects they say are only eight hours long. Not so. I talked to someone who cooks with it and when they runs out for a couple of weeks, the person does fine for that time. S the effects are quick and somewhat lasting.

Safe Plastic For Food - I Don't Think SO!
According to Mother Jones magazine, chemicals used to replace BPA in plastic- does the same thing as BPA does, if not worse.
Still danger from plastic bottles, plastic food containers, plastic cling wrap.
The chemical BPA is a mimic of the natural hormone estrogen. This can cause all kinds of problems with the brain and organ development and other essential bodily functions. It has been proven by research that too much or too little of estrogen, especially during early childhood as well as in gestation, leaves us more susceptible to diseases including the following: behavioral disorder, cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and more.
“BPA-free” are still releasing the chemicals.

No sugar for one year
I just read a story about a family that went on a no sugar diet for 1 year. The Mom became an expert in reading food labels and discovered that there were '50 hidden names' for sugar including 'diastatic malt', 'refiners syrup' and 'mannitol'.
Interestingly, she did not lose any weight over the 1 year period, but the energy level in every family member increased as did the health of each individual. The kids went from missing 10 and 15 days of school to 2 and 3 days.
I say what a great experience, now just what would have happened if they had gone organic at the same time. I am going to try this experience my self, to be added to my already organic non glutton diet and see what I experience.
I would have to agree with the wait loss aspect. We are so conditioned by the Media that sugar makes us fat and I lost weight by going organic and I continued to eat sugar.

Probiotics: Loose Weight and Keep It Off
Probiotics Help You (Women) Lose Weight?
Very good study info and an easy listen:
http://radiomd.com/player/item/18355-can-probiotics-help-you-lose-weight#.UxgAC_ldWSo
We need to take the probiotic pills. They are better than yogurts.
Probiotics from animals such as yogurts, the gut will only retain about 10% of the healthy bacteria.
Probiotics from fermented vegetables, the gut will retain 90% of the healthy bacteria.
Stopping Cancer: Nature does it again, without drugs
Pawpaw is cancer therapy.
Then tune in Thursday, March 6 at 3 p.m. PST to Dr. Michael Smith's talk show on on www.RadioMD.com. New book entitled The Paw Paw Program — A Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer, written by Lorene Benoit, who holds a master's in Holistic Healing and founded Benoit & Associates Health Education Services.
Dr. Mike and Ms. Benoit will discuss pawpaw, a natural plant extract in the same plant family as the custard apple and cherimoya. Pawpaw is Ms. Benoit's natural program for understanding, preventing and treating cancer.
Research is showing pawpaw to be effective at fighting cancer by inhibiting the energy supply to cancer cells, by preventing replication of cancer cell DNA and RNA, and by blocking the creation of blood cells to prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells.
If you or someone you know has cancer, Dr. Mike is "The country doctor with a city education." It's your chance to learn about this natural breakthrough in cancer therapy.

Parkinson's Disease and a rice connection
Pesticide Exposure Is Tied To a Risk for Parkinson's Disease
In some of my reading today I found this tid bit by a contributor on another website
Parkinson's Disease is caused from the ingestion of cycasin toxin found in the cycad seed, which is used as filler in foods such as rice from the Orient.
I will now begin making sure that the rice that I buy does not go through the cycad seed filter process.
Cycads (specifically - toxic seeds) Lytico-Bodig,
Almost all cycad seeds require extensive processing to render them non-toxic.
Evidently this was figured out as far back as 1865 but ignored. Review article at the following website: http://www.cycad.org/documents/Marler-toxins-standards.pdf
Wikipedia also has some to say about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytico-bodig_disease
Side Note: In this article, not that the toxin is in the fat of the animal. As with all animals that we eat the toxins, other chemicals and pesticides are stored in the fat.
Disease From these seeds resembles (ALS - Lou Gehrig's disease), Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

High blood pressure/ hypertension is a part of about 30 percent of the U.S. have it and it is on the increase. The results of untreated is heart disease, stroke, dementia and kidney failure. The following has shown significant reduction in high blood pressure heart disease and stroke.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have a lot to say about High Blood pressure.
Points:
1. Did you know that antioxidants in dark chocolate can also lower blood pressure. I love that Dark Chocolate. Make it organic.
2. DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension):low-sodium diet which was high in vegetables, fruit, and fiber was able to lower blood pressure by over 11 points in people with hypertension. Ad some safe fish and make the rest non-GMO. The DASH diet is also high in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and anti-oxidants like vitamin C. So take some Magnesium pills also.
3. Plant food and fiber, fish, seafood and olive oil lower all lower blood pressure.
4. Live oil use relates to systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
5. Antioxidants in dark chocolate can also lower blood pressure.Relaxation of blood vessels w/ vitamin C. (500 mg per day) This is great but better if you can get the full molecule of the vitamin in it natural state in the food you consume.
6. And one cup of hibiscus tea taken 3 times daily was shown in a study to lower systolic blood pressure by 7 points.
7. Magnesium, 230-460 mg per day, has been shown to lower blood pressure and to enhance the effects of blood pressure medications.
A note of Caution: It has been said, "Do not take magnesium supplements if you have kidney disease".
Take Co-enzyme Q-10, of 60-100 mg taken twice daily with food. This may help.
8. A UC Davis study found: 150-300 mg of grape seed extract a day does lowers the systolic pressure by about 8 points after 4 weeks.
9. Exercise can lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 points, if done regularly with slow, deep breathing. It turns on "rest and digest" signals to the body. Consistency is important to lowering the systolic blood pressure by as much as 10 points.
10. Blood pressure issues or not: Start a healthy intake of food and follow up with your doctor. I suggest a good Natural Path Doctor. Going Organic is the best. If can't afford it all, do some until you can. Every bit helps your health and it tells the food producers and sellers what we want. Put your dollar where your health is. Not with your doctor and the bid pharma.

New England Journal of Medicine ----- http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200303 There are indications that the Mediterranean diet protects against heart attack, stroke or death from cardiovascular causes in older adults with high cardiovascular risk. The Mediterranean diet is high in fruit, vegetables, fish, legumes, nuts and olive oil. About a 29% less risk. So this must be good for the rest of us also. Just stay away from the GMOs and Chemicals that is in most of the food supply.

Chronic Inflammation
Seven out of the top ten causes of death in America, this
including diabetes and cancer, can be associated with chronic
inflammation? Inflammation is our body's natural response to any
problem or injury for fighting infection & repairing damage in the body. A problem
is that inflammation can stick around and actually begin attacking
healthy cells.
A poor diet is the largest contributing factor to a chronic
inflammation situation. A Mediterranean-style diet high in
vegetables, fruit, fish, nuts, and beans will reduce risk. According
to A Dr. Smith

Obesity - Don't wait to loose weight
Stop eating the Chemicals now, especially MSG and GMO or you may stay that way - Obese!
I just discovered that GMO foods also cause obesity also.
The he longer one remains overweight, the more "irreversible" obesity will be per-a-study.
Note the Oct.24 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
"Over time, a static, obese state can reset the "normal," body weight set point to become permanently elevated, despite dieting that initially worked to shed pounds," authors say. From News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Genomics & Genetics Weekly
Most adults find it difficult to maintain meaningful weight loss by dieting and exercise alone.

.
More than 500 million adults and 43 million children younger than age 5 are affected by Obesity.

When Organic is not Organic
"On
June 6, 2012, the USDA published the final ruling on the amendment of
the listing for yeast: Yeast - When used as food or a fermentation agent
in products labeled as "organic," yeast must be organic if its end use
is for human consumption; non-organic yeast may be used when organic
yeast is not available."
This amendment is effective on October 21, 201

You’re Getting Sicker And Fatter by eating most foods
Chances are, you're really are getting sicker and fatter, year after year.Not just Americans anymore, but around the world as the food produced here in America gets exported, more and more.
It's NOT your fault.
You've been lied to by ignorant doctors, government, profit-hungry agricultural conglomerates, chemical companies, and drug companies and the food corporations. Doctors have been lied to by their deceived medical school professors.
Diabetes: Two-thirds of Americans are overweight.. Depression and anxiety continues to rise. Autoimmune diseases is exploding. Now 4 out of 4 people get cancer. That's everyone folks.
Supposedly we the best best medical care of the world.
It used to be that 85% of the population wasn't overweight. Diabetes was rare. Fewer people needed glasses. Not much acne in the teanage population and not as much asthma or allergies. Cancer rates were very low. Heart disease was less. It can't be just genetics.
The corporate lobbyists have been and are destroying the food of the world and soon there will be no healthy crops left.
EVIL IS AS EVIL DOES
I noticed yesterday that my fat is disappearing like I've never experience before in my life. It has been 10 months since my family and I went organic.
God help the world when all food is poison. There will be no going back. Man is destroying nature. It may be to late now, but we have to try. What will you do about it?
I suggest you do something about it. Vote in the right people, Run for office yourself, send this blog link to your congressman or senator. Push, Push Push.

Yaaa! Rand Paul - Trying to protect our freedoms, again
Rand Paul (R) Kentucky is a good guy, congressman. He is trying to rain in the FDA.
Senate bill H.R.645 and the New FEMA
amendment 2143
Watch the 6 minute Video at: http://www.randpacusa.com/fda_sign.aspx?pid=0531h
First amendment allow free commercial speech which the FDA has taken away. This gives our free speech rights back.
He has introduced an amendment to halt the armed FDA from raiding farms and natural food stores. So let's help him turn up the heat an pass this amendment.
The following was taken from the following website: http://www.randpacusa.com/fda_sign.aspx?pid=0531h
"Imagine gun toting agents from the Food and Drug Administration storming onto your property because you choose to sell raw milk.
Think this can’t happen? Think again.
FDA agents have been barging in to farms and natural food stores to crack down on individuals whose only crime is believing they know better than the government what was good for their health.
Last week, I offered an amendment to the Food and Drug Reauthorization Bill.
My amendment would curb the FDA’s abuse of power and overreach.
It would disarm the FDA, terminate FDA raids on Amish farmers and natural food stores, and put an end to their censorship of dietary supplements.
I hope you’ll take a few moments to watch my floor speech explaining why my amendment to disarm the FDA is so vital".

Monsanto and the government are killing the bees?
Click here to hear: Has Illinois Become A Police State? With Terry Ingram - Episode 103
After 58 years of Bee Keeping, an unelected state agency, destroyed years of research, equipment, and bees without due process and no search warrant. This is the Illinois state government. When the government attacks an individual such as Terrence Ingram, they are attacking you. This can not be allowed. Hear the whole story: http://www.offthegridnews.com/2012/05/25/has-illinois-become-a-police-state-with-terry-ingram-episode-103/
Maybe Monsanto and the government are in bed together. Ya think? Oh yah, fascism. The constitution is being ignored and one more freedom is lost.

Obesity can go away without dieting - Stop eating the poison in the store bought food!
High sugar content in food is not the complete answer in the cause of obesity. It is High Fructose Corn Syrup and the fact that 55% of table sugar is fructose from sugar beets and both of these sources are GMO with round up weed killer in the DNA of the fructose. One more point: There are at least 15 names for MSG found on the labels of the food we buy and if researchers want to make a lab animal fat, what do they fed it, MSG.
So you are a lab rat if you continue to eat food with MSG in it. My family and I have chosen not to be a lab rat any more for the corporation. I have lost more than a pound a month and much more in inches. A new belt and three more hole put in the new belt by me and all of this in 7 months. My daughter has lost more than 9 inches and my wife is loosing 2 to 3 pounds a month.
Check it out:
1. www.mercola.com &
2. www.natraburst.blogspot.com
3. http://www.cornucopia.org/
4. http://www.responsibletechnology.org/
So how do you loose weight and slim down? You eat organic food and make sure that there are no chemicals, especially MSG in the food you eat.
Note: There are over 700 untested chemicals allowed in the store bought food we eat.
Another side benefit is that may get rid of diabetes or not having an onset. Notice I did not say cure or the government could put me in jail. Who says that we have freedom of speech? The corporations and the government (who is supposed to protect us) are in bed together with the laws that they have created to curtail our freedom to speak and our freedom of choice in the food we choose to eat. They used to call this fascism
( a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology. )
Case and point: The Amish farmer who sold raw milk and the purchaser took it across state lines and the FDA raided the farm and took the farmers products and threatened him will jail. Thankfully the state stepped in and stopped the harassment.

Conspiracy - That is the question!
This is one more news article in the mounting evidence of foul play in the world of world government. So, after you read the following information and listen to the radio broadcast from the link below, contemplate the ramifications.
Below was excerpted from an email that I get from Off The Grid Radio.
Those are the questions in Illinois right now, and Terrence Ingram would like them answered. This organic beekeeper has been subjected to searches that he was unaware occurred, to inspectors and their illiteracy when it came to knowledge about bees, and to the destruction of years of research that he says proves that Roundup is a major factor in Colony Collapse Disorder. In addition, he had successfully bred a queen that appeared to be resistant to Round-up, having survived three summers and winters where other queens and colonies died.
However, according to the Prairie Advocate, a newspaper in northwester Illinois, the most troubling aspect of all this was:

Below was excerpted from an email that I get from Off The Grid Radio.
Dear
A beekeeper of 58 years wants to know how an unelected state
agency, which appears to answer to no one, can come in and destroy years
of research, equipment, and bees without due process and even without a
search warrant. Has recent loose interpretations of the Constitution
and the power of the federal government spilled over into state
governments, who now think they can act with impunity and shut down any
business that happens to question an agency’s validity, credentials,
or findings? Is the era of big bully government upon us?Those are the questions in Illinois right now, and Terrence Ingram would like them answered. This organic beekeeper has been subjected to searches that he was unaware occurred, to inspectors and their illiteracy when it came to knowledge about bees, and to the destruction of years of research that he says proves that Roundup is a major factor in Colony Collapse Disorder. In addition, he had successfully bred a queen that appeared to be resistant to Round-up, having survived three summers and winters where other queens and colonies died.
However, according to the Prairie Advocate, a newspaper in northwester Illinois, the most troubling aspect of all this was:
[T]he State Department of Agriculture came in and inspected their hives when they were not home and without due process, took their bees and hives. At the time of the theft the Ingram’s [sic] had not yet had their day in court to prove that their hives did not have foulbrood. Ingram knew that the inspectors could not tell what they were seeing and had warned the Department that if any of them came back it would be considered a criminal trespass. Yet they came back when he was not home, stole his hives and ruined his 15 years of research.Please join Bill Heid and Terry Ingram on today’s Off the Grid Radio program as they discuss this latest atrocity of Illinois state government officials. Bill has personally done business with Terry since the early 80s, and this is a matter that strikes close to home. As Terry Ingram asked the Prairie Advocate, "Is Illinois a police state, where citizens do not have rights?"
"What was the value of that 3-year-old queen?" Ingram asked. "It could have been that she would have a resistant trait that we could expand into the whole bee culture to help them survive this Round-Up thing. How can you place a dollar value on that potential?"
Considering the fact that Ingram’s queens, bees, and hives were taken off his property on March 14, rather than being "abated," as was the "requirement" stated in the notices from the IDofA, the dollar value of such a queen cannot be disregarded as a major motivation for such an act.
Unfortunately, it would appear so.

Don't use Chemicals on you gardens (Agent Orange).
During the Vietnam war, researchers looked for chemicals pesticides
that could kill plants rapidly. Ever heard of the military chemical called
‘Agent Orange.’ One of the chemicals used in Agent Orange is 2,4-D
and it is still widely used on lawns andin gardens. Though the 2,4-D is
not the chemical that is considered to have caused the ill effects
seen with Agent Orange. The offending agent (supposedly) is a chemical
called 2,4,5-T and that is no longer being manufactured. 2,4-D is still a
very toxic compound that is under investigation for its possible ability to
cause cancer. Three studies have suggested 2,4-D is more toxic than once
believed, so read the labels of products before you buy them. The home
user is taking great risk using this product around their home.
For more information, review this site: http://www.herc.org/maketheconnection/docs/Volume3.pdf
The following is unconfirmed:
I was told that Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) has been put into the DNA of Corn and it paralyzes the gut so that when consumed, one will throw up the food. This was discovered and so the company sold the corn products to a third world country.
I was also told that Bti has also been put in many of the lakes in this country and you should not eat more than one fish a month and that women of children baring age, should not eat any. You can buy this stuff on the internet.
The poisons is everywhere and fast engulfing the world. Think of what it is doing to the water supply. Someone has to stop these (evil) people.
The unscrupulous are killing us and you are doing noting about it!

On the Cornucopia website you can see who owns the companies that are producing organic foods for the consumer. View the chart here: http://www.cornucopia.org/wp-content/themes/Cornucopia/downloads/OrganicT30IntJan08.pdf
A little more on this: http://www.cornucopia.org/who-owns-organic/
This is the latest update of the major corporate ownership and involvement in the organic food sector. This chart focuses on organic brands with ties to the top 25 food processors here in North America.
Next, this short 4 minute video and you will get a good view of the deception by these companies try to trick you into paying a higher price for their product that is not organic at all. http://www.cornucopia.org/2011/10/natural-vs-organic-cereal/

What They Are Hiding in Your Organic Food
I chose to get very angry the other day when I discovered the following: Just because you see a symbol that states that the food inside is organic, it is not necessarily true. This is a form of fascism - Government and corporations working together against the people.
Watch this: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/05/20/kastel-organic-foods.aspx
This video above features the co-director and Senior Farm Policy Analyst at the Cornucopia Institute, Mark Kastel . The Cornucopia Institute, based in Wisconsin, acts as an organic industry watchdog. In this presentation, serious issues are raised currently facing the organic food industry, and how you can help.
Here I was, eating what I thought was pure organic food, knowing that some poison may have slipped in, but for the most part, I thought that I was eating very healthy. It is true that I am getting more healthy as the excess fat is just falling off me. I just bought a new belt and I am about to put the 3rd hole in it to keep my pants up.
Oh, but now, I find this out. [ The evil that men do.] The Government lies right along with the corporations. There is almost nothing that I can buy that is processed and know and feel like I am eating healthy. I have lost the convenience of just opening a can or a box to eat food that I enjoy. I have to change my brain pathways even more now. IF THE LABEL DOES NOT SAY 100 % ORGANIC, IT IS NOT!
Are you angry yet? Watch the video and call your congress man.
I will now be working on changing my behavior even more to reflect this new information. I think I will find people who grow locally for sale or start my own at some point in the near future.
This has to change: Organics should be pure 100 % organic and the labels should reflect that. Watch the video and you will understand this better. I hate liars, don't you?

The True Cost Of Food!
If you shop for food, you know the cost to day is very high. Especially live food. A small bag of citrus can cost you $7.00 or $8,00. A pound for grapes can cost over $3.00. organic romaine lettuce can be over $4.00.
And yet at a fast food resturant, you can have a full meal for around $3.00,
What is wrong here?
The reason that fast food is so cheep is because corn and soy are the major ingredients. Soy and corn are subsidized by our government and the food manufacturers buy corn and soy for a lot less than it costs the farms to grow these foods. Then they make fake foods out of these mostly GMO Crops. Lots of high fructose corn syrup, is put in everything from soda, to "milk" shake, to bread - hamburger bun, to there secret sauces on the burger, in the breading on the shrimp and on around the chicken nuggets. Then there is the Soy which is about as ubiquitous as the corn.
Health subsidies for healthy foods like vegetables and fruit are not there. You can't get healthy eating all of the GMO so called foods that are a little like rat poison. Mostly low nutrition food with a touch of weed killer to destroy your health, make you unable to have children, and die early from cancers and other diseases like diabetes. So get personal responsibility and demand congerss change this around and stop eating the "Crap" you are feed by the "system". Let's change it. Stop the subsidy dollars that are pushed into corn and soy.
Like sheep being led to the slaughter. Each day, 50 million Americans eat at a fast food restaurants and the rest of us eat from the grocery store and other restaurants.
This is a slow, sickly death of cancers, heart disease and diabetes and of starvation because of the lack of nutrition.
Note: Obesity comes the chemicals in the food - MSG & the lack of nutrition. MSG makes you fat and hungry & the lack of nutrition keeps you needing to eat more.
You say that you can't afford it? How much do you or will you spend on the doctor? How much missed work? How much more work to pay for the doctor? How much less to spend on your family because of sickness?

MSG: Gets You Brain Damage And Over Weight
MSG can cause numbness, tingling, and tightness of the chest which can last for a couple of hours. It also causes brain lacerations, brain damage and make you fat.
MSG or glutamic acid is extracted from sea weed. It is all extracted from protein using acid hydrolysis.
Every hydrolyzed protein product, regardless of the name given to it on a label, contains MSG.
The use of MSG is still growing in the food supply. MSG is found in most soups, salad dressings, processed meats, frozen entrees, ice cream, and frozen yogurt, crackers, bread, canned tuna, and very often in "low fat" and "no fat" foods. This is done to make up for lost flavor when fat is reduced or eliminated in food products. It is also found in some cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements. It is also found in enteral feeding products and in infant formulas. It is used in vaccines, in hospitals jello, chicken soup, and even some IV solutions.
They put this stuff in baby food. MSG is used to make lab mice gain weight.

I get angry when I think about the poison in the food. How about you?
In a shocking report released just a few years ago,an Environmental Group revealed that:
"The average newborn baby in the United States now comes into the world with an average of 200 pesticides, industrial chemicals, and pollutants already detectable in their blood."i And that is with only 9 months of exposure.
So how important is detoxification? Just go to a non GMO Organic diet and your body will naturally detox. Many of these chemicals are stored in your fat and when you go organic and stop eating high fructose corn syrup, you start loosing weight and the chemicals get released and your health conditions will get worse before they get better because of the chemicals being released from your fat.
I experience this myself and the Natural Burst helped me make it through by reducing my pain in the process. it took about 3 months to start feeling the pain and it got worse up until about 8 months latter, when I began to get better.

Poison on the Platter – A documentary film 30 minutes
GM foods are attacking our health and the environment. Mankind is headed toward a disaster, which will be far more destructive than anything the world has seen. Many crop foods that have been released into the environment and there is putting it back in Pandora's box., This will affect and effect every single person living on this planet”.
Don't let your child chew on a baby blanket, it may have BT cotton in it. The farm animals (2000) that went into a BT cotton field all died very shortly there after in 2006. The BT caused the animals to be unable to digest their food. Right now in India there are 56 GMO crops that are currently being grown in India. So how many of them are grown where you live? Note: The GMO is in the polen in the air also. So how safe is the air in your spring and how much Poison is on your plate?

Do you like eating untested chemical
There are 700 untested chemicals in the US food supply. No wonder the institutions are filled with dementia, Alzheimer and everyone gets cancer.
The following quotes are from Wikapedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generally_recognized_as_safe
History
On January 1, 1958, the FDA established the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, with a list of 700 food substances that were exempt from the then new requirement that manufacturers test food additives before putting them on the market.[3] On August 31, 1960, William W. Goodrich, assistant general council of the FDA, addressed the annual meeting (16 Bus. Law. 107 -1960-1961) of the FFDCA. The purpose of the meeting was the forthcoming March 6, 1961, effective date of the enforcement provisions of the "Food Additives Amendment of 1958", referred to as GRAS.[4]
[edit]GRAS exemptions
GRAS exemptions are granted for substances that are generally recognized, among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate their safety, as having been adequately shown through scientific procedures (or, in the case of a substance used in food prior to January 1, 1958, through either scientific procedures or through experience based on common use in food) to be safe under the conditions of their intended use.

“A new invention to poison people … is not a patentable invention.” Lowell v. Lewis, 1817

The following is excerpted from this website: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24103
A landmark lawsuit filed on March 29 in US federal court seeks to invalidate Monsanto’s patents on genetically modified seeds and to prohibit the company from suing those whose crops become genetically contaminated. The Public Patent Foundation filed suit on behalf of 270,000 people from sixty organic and sustainable businesses and trade associations, including thousands of certified-organic farmers. In Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, et al. v. Monsanto, et al. (U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, Case No. 11 CIV 2163), PUBPAT details the invalidity of any patent that poisons people and the environment, and that is not useful to society, two hallmarks of US patent law. "As Justice Story wrote in 1817, to be patentable, an invention must not be 'injurious to the well being, good policy, or sound morals of society,'” notes the complaint in its opening paragraphs, citing Lowell v. Lewis. The suit points to studies citing harm caused by Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, including human placental damage, lymphoma, myeloma, animal miscarriages, and other impacts on human health. Plaintiffs condemn Monsanto for prohibiting independent research on its transgenic seeds and for its successful lobby efforts to ban GM food labeling. Many raise the specter of allergic reaction to GM foods, proof of which is hidden by lack of labeling. The suit also confronts the propaganda that transgenic seeds improve yield and reduce pesticide use, citing reports on failure to yield and increased pesticide use. The complaint mentions a 2010 lawsuit by West Virginia after several studies contradicted yield results claimed in Monsanto’s ads. And, it notes the growth inglyphosate-resistant superweeds. “Thus, since the harm of transgenic seed is known, and the promises of transgenic seed’s benefits are false, transgenic seed is not useful for society.” This means, should the court agree, that all transgenic seeds fail the test of patent law. The suit has the potential to reverse patent approval on all biotech seeds, impacting BASF, Bayer, DuPont, Dow, and Syngenta, and others. Genetic contamination of natural plants occurs where GM seeds are grown, no matter who developed them. Ingesting food which has had its DNA mucked with is dangerous, regardless of who does the mucking. What makes Monsanto different is its US seed monopoly. Well documented by market authorities, Plaintiffs point out that, “Over 85-90% of all soybeans, corn, cotton, sugar beets and canola grown in the U.S. contains Monsanto’s patented genes.” Through its monopoly, Monsanto has spiked the cost of seeds. In the past decade, corn seed prices increased 135% and soybean prices 108%, the suit asserts. As recently as 1997, soybean farmers spent only 4-8% of their income on seeds, “while in 2009, farmers who planted transgenic soybeans spent 16.4 percent of their income on seeds.” Monsanto has also used its dominant position to limit competition from other herbicide producers, as well, the suit alleges. Listing 23 US patents by Monsanto, Plaintiffs also accuse the firm of “double patenting” thus strengthening its monopoly over the entire field of transgenic seeds: “Although the United States patent system allows improvements on existing inventions, it does not permit a party to extend its monopoly over a field of invention by receiving a patent that expires later than and is not patentably distinct from a patent it already owns…. “Monsanto began applying for patents on glyphosate tolerance in the mid 1980s. Its first patents on the trait were granted in 1990 and are now expired. After pursuing its earliest patents on glyphosate resistance, Monsanto continued to seek and receive patents on Roundup Ready technology for over two decades…. “In acquiring the transgenic seed patents, Monsanto unjustly extended its period of patent exclusivity by duplicating its ownership of a field of invention already covered by other Monsanto patents.” The suit then concludes, “Monsanto’s transgenic seed patents are thus invalid for violating the prohibition against double patenting.” Genetic Contamination Here’s the mother of all arguments, which makes the most sense to the lay public. How dare Monsanto sue farmers damaged by genetic contamination of their crops? That’s like a pugilist suing for damage to his hand after he punches an unwilling victim.
Monsanto admits that its product contaminates natural crops. That must be why it recently altered its Technology Stewardship Agreement to transfer liability for its products to the farmers who buy them. The suit logically asserts that genetic contamination amounts to trespass on the property of those who do not want GE seeds, causing them substantial economic harm. We saw that when Bayer’s transgenic seeds contaminated a third of the US rice supply, causing the European Union to close its market to US rice. Bayer has faced 6,000 lawsuits due to that contamination and market closure. On top of lawsuits already lost or settled, last month, Bayer lost a $137 million lawsuit by Riceland Foods. The new suit notes that, “The worldwide total economic loss due to the [2006 GM rice] contamination event was estimated at $741 million to $1.285 billion.” Impact on the Biotech Food Industry The suit argues that because “contamination is reasonably foreseeable,” Monsanto thus loses its patent rights whenever it sells its GM seeds. This wouldn’t stop it from selling the seed, but it would allow farmers to save seeds from transgenic crops. No company can stay in business without repeat customers, especially ones that spend millions on research and development. And, because transgenic contamination is not limited to Monsanto’s seeds, all biotech seed companies would likewise face dissolution of their intellectual property rights. Other harm from biotechnology does not stop with Monsanto’s seeds or chemicals, either. To protect the world from the biotech food industry, which extends to animals, patenting life itself should be banned. This lawsuit might take us closer to a return of that legal standard, prior to the 2001 High Court decision in J.E.M. Ag Supply v. Pioneer Hi-Bred International. In that case, Oyez explains: “Farm Advantage filed a patent invalidity counterclaim, arguing that sexually reproducing plants, such as Pioneer’s corn plants, are not patentable subject matter within section 101. Farm Advantage maintained that the Plant Patent Act of 1930 (PPA) and the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) set forth the exclusive statutory means for protecting plant life.” The court disagreed, and thus allowed patents on sexually reproducing life forms, which extends to animals. Of note, the decision was written by ethically-challengedClarence Thomas, a former Monsanto attorney. Thomas also refused to recuse himself from a 2010 case involving Monsanto. (Geertson Seed v Monsanto involved contamination of natural alfalfa.) Among the plaintiffs in the PUBPAT suit is Navdanya International, headed by Dr. Vandana Shiva who has long fought biopiracy. Genetic patents “have unleashed an epidemic of the piracy of nature’s creativity and millennia of indigenous innovation,” Shiva wrote at Navdanya. The new lawsuit couldn’t come a moment too soon, given the USDA’s recent decision to allow rice modified with human genes by Ventria Bioscience. Such approval begs the question: At what point is the line into cannibalism crossed? Biotech and pharmaceutical companies have produced several hundred “pharma crops” – food that contains vaccines against a variety of diseases. The FDA and USDA would have us ignore that this scheme fails to consider appropriate dosage specific to a person’s age, weight and medical condition, the very foundation of pharmaceutical science. The biotech industry is out of control, and poses a significant danger to humans and the environment. PUBPAT’s lawsuit marks a significant step toward restoring a safe, sane and consensual food supply.

One step closer to the so-called Frankenstein Foods, the first known mingling of human-origin genes with plants. Our U.S. Department of Agriculture is not about protecting us. They have already signaled that they plan to allow commercial cultivation.
The California-based Ventria Bioscience, have been given preliminary approval to grow it on more than 3,000 acres in Kansas. The company plans to harvest the proteins and use them in drinks, desserts, yoghurts and muesli bars.

FYI: GMO Testing Information site
I found a place that can verify if the food is GMO or not. Don't know the cost yet but will follow up. The rest of the world is ahead of us. I believe it is because as Michelle Bachmann put it, congress has been lobbied and bought off by the corporations producing this poison food.
Info Excerpted form this site: http://www.eurofinsus.com/gmotesting/GMO_Testing.html
Testing for bioengineered crops, also referred to as Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), has become a necessity in light of legislation imposed in member countries of the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and in an increasing number of other countries. They established labeling laws for approved bioengineered crops, while prohibiting the import of unapproved varieties. For approved varieties, commonly tolerance thresholds are established below which a product does not have to be labeled as containing or derived from GMOs.
Threshold levels vary for each legislation. Since 2004, the labeling threshold for food products in the European Union is 0.9%. Current EU regulations demand control through analysis and traceability. Food and feed products that contain or are derived from GMOs must be labeled. For products that are highly refined, documentation of their conventional, non-biotech source material is now required. The labeling threshold in Japan is 5%, South Korea 3%, and Australia and New Zealand 1%.
Two different categories of analytical methods are used to detect GMOs. One is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). It is based on the detection of genetic material (DNA). It is most versatile for detection of biotech crops and therefore the method of choice for many applications. The alternative is Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). It detects foreign protein(s) which most bioengineered crops contain as a result of the insertion of bioengineered gene(s). As compared to PCR, ELISA is more restricted in its applicability but can be very useful in certain raw commodities.
A commonly recommended or required approach is to screen for any biotech crop or material derived thereof by the detection of genetic elements that are shared between virtually all commercialized agricultural GMOs. The two best- known examples are the 35S promoter from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) and the NOS terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. These are widely used, well-characterized elements, which direct the expression of the biotechnology genes they reside in. These tests will work on most matrices: corn, feed pellets, soybeans, corn starch, maltodextrin, seasonings, vitamins, beverages and all finished food.
This method is widely accepted as the most efficient way to screen for GMOs. Additional screening tests may be advisable for different commodities and ingredients. A variety of screening tests besides 35S promoter and NOS terminator are available at Eurofins GeneScan. Please contact our experts for more information about devising the best testing strategy for your product.
We offer a comprehensive suite of GMO tests for corn, corn by-products, soybeans, canola and rice being exported to the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Please contact our experts for more information about these packages.
