Monsanto's Stock Taking A Dive

Yipee, finally the news is getting out to Monsanto's stockholders that the world does not trust Monsanto and does not want their food. It is finally effecting their stocks. You can read more about it HERE.

It shows us that our constant persistence can pay off! Keep educating everyone and keep telling your stores you want non-GMO choices. The more people that refuse to buy their so called food, the less money Monsanto has and eventually they change or collapse. They already see the writing on the wall. I know a farmer in Oregon who says he supplies them with large amounts of organic certified corn seed. I have wondered over the last few years what they are up to purchasing the seed. I think perhaps they want a back-up plan for if and when they can't sell GMOs any more. It goes to show they are not so confident. Perhaps they are just trying to ride the tide as far as they can before it crashes. Then their back up plan is probably to sell "organic" which most folks will have had to change over to trying to escape the GM food. Little do they know that I don't plan to purchase either from them. Not just because I don't trust their "organic" food. I don't plan to give them one penny to come up with new ways to try to take over our food supply. There is nothing they could do that would gain my trust.

Government Trying to Control What We Feed our Infants

A woman on a federal food program called WIC (Women, Infant and Children) was seeing a Federal paid program doctor as a part of "MaineCare" ran by DHHS and mentioned she was feeding the infant raw goat milk as she could not provide enough milk. She was turned in by the physician to DHSS and almost lost her baby in the process all over feeding raw goat milk.  Link to Newspaper Story

This is what happens when the government takes over feeding you and providing your health care. They of course decide what is best for you and it is no surprise since they are supporting you. Becoming more independent of the government should be everyone's goal. Decreasing the size of our government should be a another goal. The bigger it gets the more it wants to control what we are doing. Be very careful what you tell your doctor in the future. Especially now that the IRS will be keeping all your medical records.

I suggest you find alternative practitioners and look for classes on how to take care of your own simple health care needs. Many of the really good docs are already refusing to take insurance or setting up alternative payment methods so they don't have to deal with the insurance companies. Good docs want to spend more than the 15 minutes often allotted per most visits. However, they won't get paid for it. This is why they are in a rush. This is why they do not chart well and mistakes happen from inadequate charting. 

There are many simple things you can do to stay healthy and assist your body to return to normal when you are ill. Look around your community for classes that teach you about how your body works, nutrition, herbs and health in general. Be sure they are taught by people who have your best interest in mind and they are an expert in the field they are teaching about. Ask around about them. 

This woman could have used galactagouge herbs to help increase her milk flow but I bet she did not know about them. Reading about herbs used in and after pregnancy would have helped her immensely. 

If you are curious about making infant formula when you can't make enough of your own milk, you can check out this Link to Weston Price Foundation and see what they suggest.

Roundup® Tolerance Levels on Food are Being Raised by EPA

The EPA is raising its tolerance levels for glyphosate(Roundup®) use on crops.

For example teff use to be 5 ppm (parts per million) and now will be 100 ppm

Root vegetables have been raised from 0.2 ppm to 6.0 ppm (30 times more than before)

Oil seed crops have been raised to 40 ppm (canola is an oil seed crop and was 20 ppm previously)

Why are they raising the tolerances? Well, GMO farmers are spraying way more glyphosate (Roundup^®) since they started planted Roundup^® resistant crops. It would make it much easier for the GMO farmers and conventional farmers to be allowed to have higher limits of glyphosate on their crops.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup^®, is the most popular herbicide used worldwide. The industry asserts it is minimally toxic to humans, but this is just not true. Residues are found in the main foods of the Western diet, comprised primarily of sugar, corn, soy and wheat. Glyphosate's inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. CYP enzymes play crucial roles in biology, one of which is to detoxify xenobiotics(a chemical compound in the environment). Thus, glyphosate enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins. Negative impact on the body is insidious and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body. Here, we show how interference with CYP enzymes acts synergistically with disruption of the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids by gut bacteria, as well as impairment in serum sulfate transport. Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. 

For more information go to this Link where you will be able to download a full article by Stephanie Seneff and Anthony Samsel on Glyphosate hazards. They go over the effect of glyphosate on the  cytochrome P450 pathway, obesity, cardiovascular system cancer, gastrointestinal system,  Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease.

If you wish to join others in telling the EPA you do not want to see this go into effect, you must act before July 1st. Click on this link to sign a petition to the EPA.
