“There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health
effects. There is causation,” as defined by recognized scientific criteria.
“The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is
confirmed in several animal studies.” …

New paradigm identifies gene responsible for acetaminophen-induced liver injury (FierceBiotech)
In this study, a team of researchers led by Dr. David Threadgill of North
Carolina State University utilized mouse genetics to aid the search for
candidate genes linked to acetaminophen-induced liver injury in humans. “We
approached the study from the perspective that drugs are used in very
heterogeneous patient populations, and that drug-induced toxicities are likely
the result of a person’s genetic makeup,” …
Germany Bans Genetically Modified Corn (Mercola.com)
Under the new regulations, the cultivation of MON 810, a GM corn produced by
Monsanto, will be prohibited in Germany. A clause in EU law allows individual
countries to impose such bans. Environmental groups welcomed the ban, pointing
out that numerous scientific studies demonstrated GM corn was a danger to the
environment. …
Could Monsanto Be Responsible for One Indian Farmer’s Death Every Thirty Minutes? (Mercola.com)
Monsanto has been ruthless in their drive to use India as a testing ground for
genetically modified crops, and it gives us a very clear picture of what could
be in store for the rest of the world’s small farmers if they’re allowed to
continue. …
Critical Alert: The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction? (Dr. Mercola)
My guess is that you can expect to see a lot of panic over this issue in the
near future. But the key is to remain calm — this isn’t the first time
the public has been warned about swine flu. The last time was in 1976, right
before I entered medical school and I remember it very clearly. It resulted in
the massive swine flu vaccine campaign.
Do you happen to recall the result of this massive campaign?
Within a few months, claims totaling $1.3 billion had been filed by victims …
THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF MICROBIOLOGISTS, THE FLU BUG and YOU!
Well it seems as if the crazy conspiracy theorists were right again, because the
world-wide flu pandemic they were warning you about has been unleashed, and
it
will dominate the headlines until millions, if not billions of people are
dead.
It won’t be stopped because no one with the means to stop it wants to
stop it. …
Monsanto’s Roundup Residues in GM Food Cause Cell Damage (Mercola.com)
The researchers studied toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup
formulations in human cells. The formulations were diluted at minimal doses (up
to 100,000 times or more), but they still caused cell death within a few hours.
The researchers also noted membrane and DNA damages, and found the formulations
inhibit cell respiration.

Warning: Never Swallow Regular Toothpaste (Mercola.com)
let’s make this point clear: fluoride
is NOT an essential nutrient. The fluoride added to your drinking water
is in fact a chemical waste product! It is NOT something you should use as a
supplement to your diet. …
Pioneer Press: U doctor scrutinized over drug research
The results compelled AstraZeneca to look deeper into the data
for more positives. What they got were negatives. On a rating scale, patients in
these same four studies showed a greater reduction in behavioral symptoms when
taking Haldol instead of Seroquel, according to the analysis. …
The fool on the hill: an essay sharply critical of the psychiatric industry (The Lancet)
Antipsychotics are, at times, cruel drugs. Some cause shaking, salivation,
restlessness, infertility, stiff ness, agitation, and frail bones; others cause
obesity, somnolence, and increase the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and
stroke. Antidepressants also have side-effects, although theirs are typically
less dramatic: sickness, sexual dysfunction, a feeling of being numbed, or
losing one’s personality, and acutely increased risk of suicide. …
