According to an article at the Institute For Responsible Technology website, On May19th of the year, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) called on “Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community, and the public to avoid GM (genetically modified) foods when possible and provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks.”

It seems that the GMO foods remain in our bodies. And sine these foods are developed to make pesticides to ward off pests, research indicates that the GM foods like soy beans and corn will alter the gut flora and might even turn our intestinal bacteria into “pesticide factories”.

I quote from the article:

“Famed Canadian geneticist David Suzuki answers, “The experiments simply haven’t been done and we now have become the guinea pigs.” He adds, “Anyone that says, ‘Oh, we know that this is perfectly safe,’ I say is either unbelievably stupid or deliberately lying.” ”

It seems that the increadse in gastro-intestinal issues in patients has risen tremendously in the past several years, along with allergies, reproductive issues, autism, and many other maladies.

So, a recent study indicates that we’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables -

In an age where health care costs are out of control and the government is taking over the health care industry, I would think that we would WANT to eat right and avoid the catastrophic health costs and and the bad things that happen when we don’t eat right.

Read it and… eat right!!!!

So, now it seems that our executive branch, which boasts of  “transparency”  is hiding this report (paid for by YOU the voter) because it does not line up with their political agenda and “beliefs”.

It appears to me that the real “truth” muddles up the political “facts” being sent out to the schools and media, supposedly based on “scientific study”.

Here is an excerpt from the story:

The American Public Health Association’s APHA website reveals the only is results of the survey:

“Adjusting for all other factors in the model, parent and peer factors are more consistently associated with differences in adolescent attitudes about sex and abstinence than are measures of adolescent exposure to sex and abstinence topics in a class or program.

Additionally, parent attitudes are more important in influencing adolescent views than the level of parent communication with their adolescent.

”The executive summary revealed that:

• 70 percent of parents agreed with the statement: “It is against your values for your adolescents to have sexual intercourse before marriage.
• 70 percent of parents agreed with the statement: “Having sexual intercourse is something only married people should do.”
• Adolescents had similar responses for the two questions.

During an APHA conference, researcher Lisa Rue, Ph.D., who specializes in adolescent behavior, was intrigued by the study and requested the full report. She was summarily denied access.

Rue then resorted to submitting a Freedom of Information Act FOIA request, which was also denied because it was “pre-decisional and deliberative” – even though it was presented in public twice.

“We have to know cultural norms and values before we ever do any kind of research, or develop initiatives,” Rue said. “If you ignore that, you’re ignoring a premise, a key premise in evaluation science and research.”

So, all of the processed foods (over 47000 on grocery shelves) containing high fructose corn syrup (and possibly other fructose sources)  promote cancer cell proliferation, according to a recent study of sugars and the effect on pancreatic tumor (cancer) cells.

So, if we eat fresh, local produce and meats, we can help fight the cancer cells in our own bodies.

While doctors are quick to prescribe a CT scan for all types of potential “illnesses” and symptoms, it seems that the CT scans may be doing more harm and causing worse maladies than the original issues.

It seems that the technicians “trained” on the equipment would give higher than recommended doses of radiation to get “clearer images” – and no one seems to know what “too high” means when scanning the brain.

Besides hair loss, there are reports of headaches and memory loss.

I wonder if this is what happened to me in 2004 when I had a bout with Bell’s palsy – the doctor treating me had me undergo 2 CT scans within a period of 1 week.
