Hi, You know this time of year touches everyone's heart. Most everyone wants to do something nice for other people.
There is a new documentary that takes a close look at the dolphin slaughter in Japan that continues on every year. The review web site for the documentary is http://www.takepart.com/thecove. Trailers, also, found at http://www.thecovemovie.com/ or, watch one of the trailers below. If you have ever felt led to help an animal foundation, this movie may direct your heart to a very worthwhile cause.
The movie is heart-rending! It is called "A classic espionage tale", "truly harrowing", "passionate, exciting, and frightening", ... The gentleman who trained the dolphins who played the part of Flipper many years ago is one of the main people in the movie. His heart is one of total compassion for the dolphins.
The people who made this documentary are very brave. If a script was written on the subject, it would not have been better portrayed with everything playing out as it did. This is real! It will open your eyes to something that is hard to fathom, because even though this movie has been daringly produced and the activity exposed world-wide, the slaughter is still scheduled to continue as it has not, as yet, been stopped.
"If we destroy anything in nature we are taking away from ourselves," is a quote in the movie. This our future and that of our children and grandchildren. We must take steps to ensure a safer, healthier environment and eco-system now. The ocean is life. What happens to it, happens to us.
God bless,
Stephen
(Do visit the web sites mentioned above. I had to remove the video due to a glitch that kept it in replay mode. You will find the trailers eye-opening.)
Summary...
In the 1960s, Richard O'Barry enjoyed a lucrative career as a specialized animal trainer; he captured the five dolphins that were used in the popular television series Flipper, and taught them the tricks and special commands they used on the show. Four decades later, O'Barry has renounced his former life as a trainer and become an animal rights activist, speaking out against the hunting of aquatic mammals and keeping them in captivity. O'Barry is not welcome in Taiji, a town along the Japanese coast where hunting dolphins is a major part of the local economy, but he and a group of activist filmmakers made their way into the city as well as the carefully guarded harbor in hopes of documenting the abuse of dolphins by fisherman and the poisoning of the waters that has taken a toll on the marine ecology. O'Barry and his colleagues captured some beautiful underwater footage as well as shocking images of how the town's fisherman have sullied the dolphins and their habitat, and director Louie Psihoyos has used this material as the basis for the documentary The Cove, which received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Water: A Precious Commodity-Don't Waste It & Know What You're Drinking!
We have been lecturing on water for 40 years. In the last 2 1/2 years we have immersed ourselves in the subject. It is vital for life.
There is a new documentary movie, Tapped, that will be shown in Hot Springs, AR, tomorrow, Monday, at around 11:15 AM at the Malco Theater, and at other theaters around the world at various Documentary Film Festivals. This is the only showing of the week. If you can possible see it, do so.
We need to be educated. We need to know what the best water is to drink. Water is not something to waste or to commercialize and be put into plastic bottles that endanger the environment and our health. Bottled water is not fit for human consumption!
Here is a bleep from the press release:
Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig’s debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water. From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.S.A., this timely documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never become a commodity: our water.

A Doctor's Expert Opinion on the Vaccine
I just received this video. Some of you may have seen it on Fox News. It is a video of an interview with Dr. Kent Holtorf, an expert on infectious diseases.
Something to think about: The uniqueness of the individual tends to get lost in programs like mass vaccination programs as was brought out in an article that appeared in the International Medical Digest ( July 1969) that stated: "There is no sound basis for the assumption that every child or infant must be inoculated with every available vaccine; on the contrary, there may be a valid reason for omitting any or all available antigens. Each patient is an individual, and deserves evaluation on this basis, rather than as an epidemiologic statistic." The article goes on to point out that "the incidence of vaccine-induced morbidity has increased alarmingly" and that the medical profession "must re-evaluate the principles, purposes, and hazards of immunization and reassess current procedures."
Take care, and I'll post more soon,
Stephen

What is "Squalene" Used in The Swine Flu Vaccine?
Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines? The information that follows is by Dr. Mercola. The link follows:
The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce the swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.
What is the adjuvant? Oil based Squalene. Think about the reference to "oil" that was made in the patent explanation in my previous post. It is interesting.
This is what has been found according to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine,
“A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities.”[v]
Novartis’s proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo’s is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries.
Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S.
What Squalene Does to Rats...
Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi]
A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis.[vii]
The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.
What Squalene Does to Humans...
Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.
The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.
Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii]
Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x]
The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).
However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.
A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics:
“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.
In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”[xi]
According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia:
“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War Syndrome," documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.
The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii]
Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent.
There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and illnesses.
Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many different illnesses and diseases.

Vaccine Manufacturers Exempt from Liability
As reported in the San Fransisco Chronicle on July 17, 2009, the headline read, Legal immunity Set for Swine Flu Vaccine Makers."Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius...
An article, Now Legal Immunity for Swine flu Vaccine Makers, By F. William Engdahl stated the following:
"... a full year before any reported case of the current alleged H1N1, the major pharmaceutical company, Baxter, filed for a patent for H1N1 vaccine: Baxter Vaccine Patent Application US 2009/0060950 A1. Their application states, “the composition or vaccine comprises more than one antigen…..such as influenza A and influenza B in particular selected from of one or more of the human H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, H5N1, H7N7, H1N2, H9N2, H7N2, H7N3, H10N7 subtypes, of the pig flu H1N1, H1N2, H3N1 and H3N2 subtypes, of the dog or horse flu H7N7, H3N8 subtypes or of the avian H5N1, H7N2, H1N7, H7N3, H13N6, H5N9, H11N6, H3N8, H9N2, H5N2, H4N8, H10N7, H2N2, H8N4, H14N5, H6N5, H12N5 subtypes...
The application, according to Engdahl, further states, “Suitable adjuvants can be selected from mineral gels, aluminium hydroxide, surface active substances, lysolecithin, pluronic polyols, polyanions or oil emulsions such as water in oil or oil in water, or a combination thereof. Of course the selection of the adjuvant depends on the intended use. E.g. toxicity may depend on the destined subject organism and can vary from no toxicity to high toxicity.”
More on this next time.
Take good care of your health. Get enough rest, drink good water (see side-bar for reference and suggestion-important), exercise, get enough sunshine and fresh air, eat HEALTHY by eating primarily from the outside aisles of your grocery store-lots of fresh green and colored vegetables as well as fresh fruit, and organic, if at all possible. Stay away from sodas and designer, flavored water which are highly acidic and puts a burden on the body. Everything on the inner aisles of the grocery stores is usually canned-"dead" food, and most snacks and packaged foods have high-fructose corn syrup on which I have posted before and are most unhealthy for you. Read your labels. If you can't pronounce it, define it, or it's not from a natural source, don't eat it!
Be happy, laugh, and have fun! It's good for you.
To a healthy immune system,
Stephen

Since the 1980s, the government has protected vaccine makers against lawsuits over the use of childhood vaccines. Instead, a federal court handles claims and decides who will be paid from a special fund...
The document signed by Sebelius last month grants immunity to those making a swine flu vaccine, under the provisions of a 2006 law for public health emergencies. It allows for a compensation fund, if needed." What is actually in place? It should be known.

Our Precious Commodity: Water. Don't Take It for Granted
On a little different note from my recent posts, the following is a movie about water and an amazing scientist and ecologist who cared about the environment. He wanted people to be aware of what was happening to the earth by man's carelessness. He showed what a precious, vital resource water is and how man needs to begin cherishing it or face dire circumstances in the future in his writings and studies.
The research of Callum Coats in the following video takes us on a journey through the life and inventions of Austrian ecologist, Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958).
Schauberger prophesied the environmental crises we are seeing today, predicting that unless we start to cherish rather than exploit our world, we would surely destroy ourselves. He demonstrated how deforestation would deplete the world of water, causing deserts and climatic chaos. Asked about our technology, "How else should it be done?" His answer was "exactly in the opposite way that it is done today!"
His maxim: "Comprehend and Copy Nature!" From his precise observations of the processes of Nature, Schauberger pioneered a completely new understanding of the nature of water as the most important life-giving and energy-empowered substance on the planet!
The video will guide you through forests, rivers, and the global water cycle, revealing insights into water's nature and how it needs to be handled for us to stay healthy. See the effects of nature's amazing vortex motion in water, how to harness clean abundant energy, and how to generate lightning from a fine water jet.
Enjoy watching the video,

Meet Dr. Anthony Morris: Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA-1976
During the Swine Flu "Pandemic" of 1976, this was said, "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway."
This quote was made by Dr. J. Anthony Morris (formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA).
Dr. Morris wrote the following book which you can access on-line here:

Dr. Mayer Eisenstein and Vaccines
Dr Eisenstein's video series continues:
In the video, Dr. Eisenstein said he had the privilege of being a student of Dr. Mendelsohn, the author of Confessions of a Medical Heretic. I knew Dr. Mendelsohn, also. He was our older children's pediatrician in their early school years.
One of the things that Dr. Mendelsohn told me is that the high-pitched scream that a child sometimes has after receiving a vaccine is not something for parents to ignore. The feeling the baby/child has is as if his brain is on fire. It upset him when other doctors would dismiss this as just being fussy. It is instead something to which to pay close attention.
Dr. Eisenstein speaks of Dr. Tenpenny in the following video and her vaccine expertise. Her site is www.drtenpenny.com . She has an article that everyone should read at this address. She discusses Cell Line Technology. Cell line technology is the use of cells and tissues for growing viruses found in vaccines that have been used since the 1950s:
"Examples include calf lymph for smallpox vaccines; African green monkey cells (AGMK cells) for polio vaccines and mouse brain cells for the Japanese encephalitis vaccine. In the 1960s, cells from aborted human fetal tissue, called MRC-5 and WI-38 cells, were developed and are still used for the manufacture of rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A, and shingles vaccines...
A third type of cell line, called PER.C6 cells, is derived from retinal cells of aborted fetal tissues. The fetal cells are transformed by infecting them with an adenovirus, turning them into “immortalized” cells and the capability to replicate endlessly. By their very nature, these cells are neoplastic (cancer-causing); researchers refer to them as “oncogenic” cells. If tumors are formed when the cells are injected into experimental animals, the cell lines are beyond oncogenic; they are tumorigenic."

Swine Flu Vaccine: If Damaged, Will There Be Compensation?
What will happen if a true pandemic is declared regarding who would be responsible for vaccine damage? That is not at this time quite clear. The vaccine has not been tested at length. Here is some insight from Barbara Loe Fisher from NVIC. More tomorrow...

Swine Flu News
For informational purposes only:
Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006.
According to the book The Coming Plague, 1994, by Laurie Garret, the influenza strain discovered at Fort Dix in 1976 was the "A" strain H1N1. It was, also, the strain in 1947. Is it new? More in the next post.
Here is a video, first in a series by renown Dr. Mayer Eisenstein of Chicago who we had the privilege to meet 30 years ago. He wrote the book, Don't Vaccinate Before You Educate:
Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006.

Swine Flu
For informational purposes only:
For weeks we have all heard a great deal on the news about the Swine Flu and H1N1. The Swine Flu received a great deal of publicity in 1976, too, and the Swine Flu vaccine was highly recommended at that time during the Ford Presidency.
Of those who got the vaccine, many complained of Guillaine-Barre and other numerous health challenges. Within a few short months, 1.3 billion dollars in claims were filed by victims and families. More on this next time.
I will never suggest that someone should not get the vaccine if it be their choice. Likewise, if someone does not want the vaccine, that should be their choice.
Here is a video by Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). I posted on this organization recently.
Have a great day,
Stephen

Rain Forest in Trouble
The same friend who sent us the news of the GMO's in my previous blog sent this to us, also. I have been hearing so many say, "There is no deforestation of the rain forest. We shouldn't be concerned. It's being controlled." The content of this site should be read by everyone.
A B O U T
P A C H A M A M A
"In recent years concern over the destruction of the world's tropical rainforests has reached global proportions. Alarm about the extinction of species, the permanent loss of potentially life-saving medicinal plants, the irreversible damage to the delicate balance of the Earth's climate control system and the tragic disappearance of indigenous cultures has captured the attention of millions of people around the world.
Hundreds of organizations have formed and are doing important work addressing virtually every level of the problem. And yet, rainforests continue to fall, by some estimates at the rate of 10 million trees per day. Despite our best efforts, the disappearance of our tropical rainforests, like many other global economic, social and environmental crises, seems beyond our ability to control. Obviously something more is needed.
The destruction of the world's rainforests is driven by a complex web of social and economic forces, many of these a logical result of modern society's worldview -- a view that, although rich in technological insight, is often ignorant of the value of nature's apparently free and limitless services. It is a view guided by maximum short-term financial gain while disregarding the long-term costs of ecological degradation.
It is a worldview in which tropical forests can show up as a cash crop to be harvested rather than as an irreplaceable ecosystem to be protected. This is not, however, the only worldview. After centuries of living in harmony with their environment, indigenous cultures see things very differently. They are informed and guided by the knowledge and spirit imbedded in nature. Rather than viewing the natural world as a collection of separate elements from which humans are apart, they recognize all of creation as an interconnected web, and each of us as an integral element in this miraculous and fragile weave of life.
The Pachamama Alliance believes that our ability to meet the challenges that face humanity as we make the transition to the next millennium, depends on our ability to successfully combine the best elements of these two worldviews into a single global vision, an alloy that blends the intellectual and scientific prowess of the modern world, with the deep and ancient wisdom of traditional cultures. This is the commitment which underlies the work of The Pachamama Alliance...." Visit the site to read more.
Life on this planet is a delicate balance as the site discusses. The deforestation of the rainforests destroys or misplaces indigenious plants and animals, dangerously interrupting the natural cycle of life. Planting "other" trees, does not replace the life-long eco-system that preceded the new growth. That cannot be replaced. The local people are uprooted from their natural habitat and environment totally upsetting their culture, lifestyle, and heritage. If not taken care of, protected, and of concern to everyone, the demise of the natural environment in one place on Earth will eventually affect us all without exception.
Visit the site and become a member. The Earth is the only home we all have... Let's all take care of it together.

If You Don't Like GMO Promotion, Read This...
I wrote about GMO's, or Genetically Modified Organisms, back in April, and we recently got an email from a friend of ours with this information. If not promoting seeds from the corporations like Monsanto is something that you feel strongly about, read the following and visit this site. It states this...
"Tell your senators: Monsanto can't feed the world:
"Tell your senators: Monsanto can't feed the world:
Last year's food riots in Haiti, India, Indonesia and elsewhere sounded the alarm bell for a painful level of global hunger that is only going to increase with a growing population and a changing climate. In a promising move, the G8 -- a group of the world's eight wealthiest nations -- has just announced a shift away from providing direct food aid to developing countries and towards helping farmers abroad produce and distribute their own food.
That's a laudable goal. But the Obama administration along with members of the U.S. Congress are using this singular moment to move their own agenda: propping up U.S. biotechnology companies like Monsanto. They hope to accomplish this by promoting genetically modified seeds and chemical inputs as tools to fight hunger through an exclusive focus on increasing crop yields. One powerful Senate committee has already passed a bill, sponsored by Senators Casey (D-PA) and Lugar (R-IN), that requires GMO technology to be part of the U.S. agricultural research agenda abroad. We need to tell them not to use our tax dollars to market Monsanto's products abroad!
Despite all the hype, GMOs have simply failed to deliver: there is no evidence that exporting this technology to the developing world will actually boost productivity. A recent analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that GMOs have had almost no impact on crop yields in the United States. Further, GMOs have little to offer drought-prone regions like Africa. Simply put: there are no drought-tolerant GMOs currently on the market. The only two GMO seed traits available -- sold by the biotechnology giants Monsanto and Bayer CropScience -- are herbicide tolerance and pest resistance for a handful of commodity crops like corn, soy and cotton. And not only are the existing seeds expensive but the use of these seeds would also tether poor farmers to the synthetic pesticides and fertilizers GMOs require.
Dedicating millions of dollars in aid money to biotechnology companies also reduces the funding available for proven agro-ecological systems and infrastructure improvements that are more appropriate for small and limited-resource producers.
Sign this petition today to tell your Senators that the path out of poverty isn't through Monsanto's doors. Ask them to oppose Casey-Lugar and any development aid bill that promotes GMO technology." Click Here to visit the site.

You may or may not agree with the political viewpoints of the site, but with regards to GMO's in general, it appears that many countries around the world refuse to use GMO seeds, nor do they want GMO food imported into their country. That is how strongly they voice their opinion on the subject.
What do they know that we don't? One country will not use GMO seeds, I understand, for at least 20 years until they know for sure that long range effects have been thoroughly studied and using them has been verified to be safe for their populace. Sounds like a good idea? What do you think? Are we playing God by splicing and changing genetic structures? Is it the Dr. Moreau syndrome of H.G. Wells' story written in 1896?

Stop the Insanity: Stop Drinking Bottled Water!
The next few posts will be a series on drinking bottled water or any beverage found in plastic bottles. The count, some say, is 2,000,000 plastic bottles being disposed of every 5 minutes. Others say it is 2.5 million every hour. Either way, that's insane!
All that plastic just doesn't go away. Did you know that every bit of plastic that has ever been produced is still around and will be around for 1000 years? Staggering to think about, isn't it. Think about all the plastic that people use now and will be using on infinitum in the future. That includes the plastic water bottle you may be holding in your hand right now.
We have been told that we shouldn't be concerned about it: People recycle. Well, Captain Charles Moore, who discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch just above the Hawaiian islands that is twice the size of Texas and getting bigger every year, had a great comment on that in the following video. A teacher once told him how much was recycled. "Diddly.squash," she said.
The truth is, less than 5% of our refuse may be recycled. That is the refuse which is deliberately discarded at recycle depositories like you probably do. But, how many other people do you know do that? And, interestingly, bottle caps are another story. Just watch the following video by Captain Charles Moore. It makes a strong statement. More posts on this subject will follow soon.
There is a logical, healthful, eco-friendly answer to the problem, however. Visit our web site and see how you can very easily be a part of the solution to a very serious problem.
Have a great day

Vaccines: Topic of Conversation in View of Latest News
There has never been a topic of more controversary among experts than that of vaccines. I will never say not to get them. However, I do believe in an "Informed Decision" and having a choice as to whether or not one wishes that they or a member of their family should be vaccinated.
I have a few suggestions from a lifetime of studying and personally dealing with the subject.
1. Ask for the package inserts of the vaccines that are being recommended or mandated to get so that you can read for yourself the side affects that one should be aware may take place.
2. Get the lot number, batch number, and manufacturer of the vaccine being administered should you choose to get the vaccine whether you are young or old. This is most important.
3. If you experience any side-effects listed in the pamphlets such as fever, swelling, etc., report it to the Vaccine Information Center at http://www.nvic.org/ . They have records of others who have reported problems and can coorelate the reports to see if your batch has had any side effects reported from it. You will, with all probability, have to report the problem yourself to the CDC since doctors do not usually do this. Please call the National Vaccine Information Center for details and help. Donations to them are greatly appreciated.
Watch this video for an interesting documentary on the subject. With all the vaccines planned for the future, this is important for everyone.
To your health,
Stephen

Genetically Engineered Foods: Does It Affect You?
In my previous post I talked about Genetically Engineered Foods, or Genetically Modified Organisms-GMO's, and that if I wrote about the subject, it would be a long post. To make it simpler, you can watch The Future of Food on NetFlix, or with a few commercial interruptions, you can go to http://www.hulu.com/ or watch it right here. This way you will understand first-hand the massive commercial movement behind the genetic engineering of our food supply and how it affects each one of us and our future.
How will all this affect our children and their children? The trouble is, no one really knows, and that should be of concern to us all.
To your health,
Stephen

Is Organic Farming in Jeopardy?
The world is changing. What use to be a world of purity in agriculture, leaving nature to do its own thing year after year, is becoming big business. Big corporations are turning farming into money-making, agricultural-science that is tainted with Frankenstein-like tendencies.
About 30 years ago, there was a movie produced entitled Henderson Monster. It is available on NetFlix. We highly recommend it.
About 30 years ago, there was a movie produced entitled Henderson Monster. It is available on NetFlix. We highly recommend it.
It was not dealing with science-fiction monsters as the title infers. Instead, it was a subtle expose' of how science, even in university labs, was big business and suggested that someday man would "own" genetic codes. Man, corporations, would have the ability to control life, manipulate life,...even own life, if you will. The year the movie was made, the first genes were patented. Fiction became non-fiction over night!
There was once the comment made: He who controls the food, controls the population. It appears to be coming to that. The above paragraph, is now reality. Big corporations, like Monsanto, do "own" the genetic codes of plant seeds. Farmers are finding, that once they start using them, they have to continue using the seeds on infinitum. Oh, and then there's the animal genes in our food-GMO's, and...well, ... that's another post. To elaborate on that at this time would probably make this post at least ten pages.---Another time.
To get back to the subject at hand--There are bills being considered in Congress that are bringing to an urgency something that we all must be informed of if the choice to eat organic foods is of importance to you. They are bills HR. 875 and S. 425 (Click on links to view bills). The bills, like many, incorporate many issues in them, but, even though lengthy, it is of vital concern to those who value their rights to live holistically.
We know first hand that not all those in congress show up for a congressional hearing on a bill or read it in its entirety. In this case, we hope they do. Take the time to read the bill yourself, and read between the lines. Under a heading described as protecting the public health and ensuring the safety of food, it creates a new "Food Safety Administration" within Health and Human Services. Oddly, it doesn't just add regulations to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) which is also under HHS. The bill applies to all manner of "Food Establishments" and "Food Production Facilities" (the following is an excerpt).
(14) FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY- The term ‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation. The bill would appear to even cover some fishing boats and potentially your downtown hot dog street vendors. "Transportation" of food also could be covered.
I encourage you to peruse the bill, particularly sections 206 and 207 under title 2, and section 3 that classifies the different definitions. The definitions will explain what the 5 classifications of the food establishments are. In essence, the small time farmer may have to jump giant hoops in the testing of foods, and new types of storage, etc., since it is very broadly-based written. That is the problem. Also, all these new regulations would be very expensive to conform to, and, if that be the case, government loans would be needed, and...you know what's next as a result of that: Conformity without choice. By not conforming and following suit of the new regulations, they will be in violation leading, no doubt, to a great price to be paid. In addition, again, by the way it is written, everything points to the possibility that the small time organic farmer could be penalized for trying to adhere to their God-given right to be holistic in farming.
Refer to the above points. Call your Legislators: 1-202-224-3121. Let's preserve the small organic gardener. We need them! And, if anyone has a small organic garden in their own back yard, it might, may, could, heaven forbid, apply to you.
Have a great, natural living day,
