FDA Files: Powerful Congresswoman Agrees with NSF: FDA Cannot Regulate Drugs, Food

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

We have Another Friend in Congress!
Powerful Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) has adopted a position in line with what the Natural Solutions Foundation has been calling for over the last months: the FDA cannot regulate drugs and their major economic competitor, foods. She also applauds our oft-repeated assessment of the FDA’s performance in food safety is beyond dismal and cites the recent – and damning – Government Accountability Office (GAO) study to document just how dismal it is.

Up to now, the solution of the Federal Government to repeated exposure of how dangerous, corrupt and damaged the FDA is has been two fold: either Congress took away powers and responsibilities to set up new agencies (e.g., EPA, Consumer Protection Agency, Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, etc.) or they passed new legislation which gave the failed, and deadly, agency more money and more power to do a worse job with (e.g., 2008 FDA Reorganization Act). The current food safety crisis, with melamine approved for infants, GMO foods and cloned meats and milk approved without scientific studies showing they are safe, fluoridation of water permitted and encouraged despite massive scientific evidence documenting its dangers, irradiation of everything it can find a way to irradiate, including raw nuts and salad greens approved regardless of rational thought, growth hormones, pesticides, veterinary antibiotics permitted in outrageous doses, a relentless assault on dietary supplements, herbs and other non-drug health strategies, multinational servitude in Codex with disastrous results to the world food supply, etc., etc., etc., must be laid solely at the doorstep of one of the most dangerous and corrupt agencies in the history of the United State.
It is time to stop the losses and get food out of the dirty hands of the FDA. The same, of course, is true of the USDA. How? By giving food regulations back to the States where the local interest influences of consumers and the impact of local certification programs can help us to reclaim the production of safe, wholesome food and make it accessible for all of us once again.
Industrial food is killing us.

Let’s kill the messenger and get government out of food and food out of government.

Food Safety Mustn’t Be Left In FDA’s Hands

Congresswoman ROSA L. DELAURO
February 8, 2009

For years now, the American people have learned to live with the possibility that their food may not be safe. The list of incidents has grown month after month, from spinach to shellfish from ground beef to peppers.

Now, a devastating salmonella outbreak has been tied to the Peanut Corp. of America and its Blakely, Ga., plant. It has killed eight people and sickened more than 500 people across the country, and a criminal investigation is underway to determine whether the producer knowingly sold a dangerous, contaminated product.

But this is not just a case of one bad actor. This salmonella outbreak is just the latest — and it represents the full-scale breakdown of a patchwork food safety system. When we look at recent headlines, it is hard not to see a food safety system in crisis — a dysfunctional federal agency, the Food and Drug Administration. unable to perform its mission and protect the American public.

Last month, the Government Accountability Office deemed that the regulatory activities governing food safety continue to pose a “high risk” to the economy and public health — the consequence of a fragmented legal and organizational structure with insufficient authority and too few resources to protect the American people.

While innocent people continued to get sick from contaminated peanut butter, the case lingered in jurisdictional limbo between the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, causing critical delays. And when the salmonella’s source was finally identified, FDA officials had to wait for industry approval before they could go live with the recall. That is not how a fully functioning regulatory agency is supposed to operate.

To truly fix inherent problems in our food safety system, we must fundamentally restructure the food safety bureaucracy at the FDA. Today, food safety is divided among multiple, separately managed units at the FDA — the Office of the Commissioner, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, the field force (Office of Regulatory Affairs) and the National Center for Toxicological Research. As a result, there is no one single individual to be held accountable for food safety at the FDA or anywhere else at the federal level.

Separating food safety regulation from drug and device approvals would go a long way toward restoring the balance that has long been missing at the federal Department of Health and Human Services, and give food safety the attention it deserves. By establishing a Food Safety Administration within Health and Human Services, headed by its own commissioner, we can give food safety experts and researchers the room and the resources to do their jobs.

Because we need an agency fully committed to actively preventing food-borne illness, not just reacting to it, I have introduced the Food Safety Modernization Act. In addition to establishing a new, separate Food Safety Administration, this legislation would provide the regulatory tools to access important records, recall products and penalize companies for knowingly selling tainted products. It also would require traceability, mandate regular inspections, demand that imported food meet our safety standards and require companies to take preventive measures.

While these are not new ideas, the push for change could not be more urgent. With every recall, the American people grow more concerned and the momentum for reform grows. I know this is an important issue for many of my colleagues in Congress and I look forward to working with them to ensure food safety is a priority.

Ultimately, though, it starts at the top. For eight years, our food safety system has been crippled by disinvestment, mismanagement and a failure to meet its most basic regulatory responsibilities. True reform is going to require strong leadership from our president.

I am confident, at last, that we have a government that understands its obligation to its citizens and is ready to modernize our food safety system to better protect public health.

FDA Files, GMO Files: Another Reason to Divest the FDA Plant Based Vaccines

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org

This detailed posting gives yet another example of why the FDA must be divested of its food authority before its mismanagement causes even more harm. The Federal Govt’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy regarding GMO (genetically modified organisms) creates conditions for a mega-disaster of unknown severity.

For more on Divesting the FDA:

Plant Based Vaccines Under Development World Wide

Once genetic material migrates from a modified plant or animal into other plants, animals, insect, or what have you, that migration is permanent except for one thing: the DNA is not stable so it literally “jumps around” causing novel proteins to be expressed.

Novel proteins, or proteins which have never existed before during the course of all life on this planet, have novel impacts. Read that as “infertility”, “sterility”, “cancers”, “auto-immune diseases”, “Joint and connective tissue diseases”, “neurological diseases”, “fetal death”, “failure to thrive”, “infant mortality”, etc. Babies in utero are particularly susceptible to the impact of these “novel proteins”, but no one is immune.

Worse, the genes have no stable place to reside in the DNA of whatever cell they are working in this week so they move from place to place to place inside the nucleus of the cell, causing the resident genes to change their functions and produce yet more novel proteins.

Now ask yourself what happens if vaccine-producing plants (or industrial-product producing plants – the issue is identical) mingle their pollen with the plants that produce your food and the food of the animals of this planet. The USDA has reduced the already close-to-non-existent controls on industrial plant growth next to, and contaminating, food plants. For example, for 5 years Bayer’s Crop Science vaccine rice was growing next to, and contaminating, food rice in Louisiana. Bayer knew about it (perhaps the USDA did, too – we do not have that information) and said nothing.

When the contamination was discovered, Bayer was not fined or sanctioned by the US Government and the contaminated rice was simply sold to the US Military for its troops in Iraq (!!!). US Military labs detected the contamination and the rice was then sold to sub Saharan African countries like Ghana. There, in every rice market that was tested, the contaminated rice was found. Poor people, buying their daily food, were eating poisoned rice, courtesy of the Biotech Industry, Bayer Crop Science (from Beyer, the same corporation that knowingly sold HIV contaminated blood fractions in Europe when they could not sell them in the US) and the US Government. But if you are buying food, especially prepared food, in the US, you are in exactly the same position: poisoned “food”, lacking any notification or labeling of that poisonous status, is being sold to you as if it were wholesome and fit for human consumption because of the total failure of the US Government to protect your health or the integrity of the food supply from commercial – and worse – interests.

The Natural Solutions Foundation has created the International Decade of Nutrition, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, to reclaim the production of food. The US Government is on the other side: industry interests and conflicts of interest make the US Government, according to all assessments, including the US Congress’ most recent report on the subject, totally unable to resist industry pressure and totally unwilling to clean house in order to become a health promoting system. Indeed, FDA scientists have openly appealed to President Obama for help in allowing them to do their job: being science to the regulation of safety.

Reformation after reformation, new agency after new agency, staff shuffle after staff shuffle have failed to weaken industry and strengthen either science or sense in the government regulation of food. ENOUGH! Our lives and our children’s lives are at stake. The Natural Solutions Foundation is once again leading the way by identifying the problem and providing the natural solutions: the system is broken beyond repair. No amount of patchwork will repair it. It is time for the failed US Government to relinquish its failed mission of food safety and regulation to the smaller governmental units which are closer to the will of the people: State governments.

Remembering that NO science of safety is PERMITTED for genetically modified “foods” in the US, remembering that patents on GMOs are based on outdated and invalid scientific premises, remember that the US Supreme Court was packed beforehand in order to grant patent rights to Monsanto, and remembering that well over 80% of the US population would prefer not to eat GMO “food” although more than 90% of the American food stock is contaminated with GMO “food”, the following article should arouse a strong response.

The stunning disregard for science and safety shown by the US Government at the behest of the food-related industries is almost too large to take in at one gulp. Biotech “foods”, approved by the FDA, USDA and Codex, as they are, represent a major threat to health, indeed, to life on this planet.

None of the agencies tasked with responsiblity for food safety and food regulation in the United States are either capable or willing to provide meaningful safety or health-based regulation. After deadly decades, it has become clear that they cannot be reformed and that
1. The USDA must be dissolved
2. The FDA must have its food regulatory responsibility removed from it as environmental protection, consumer safety and narcotics and dangerous drug responsibility was removed from it to create separate government agencies
3. Another federal agency will not protect food and the health of the American people since conflict of interest and corruption run too deep.
4. Regulatory responsibility for food must be turned over to the States, consistent with their Constitutional mandates and rights so that the impact of the people, from whom regulatory authority comes, is far closer to the exercise of regulatory authority.

The Natural Solutions Foundation invites you to join us in the 2009 Health Freedom Campaign to Divest the US Government of its Food Regulatory Responsibilities in order to return assurance of food safety and health protection to the States and, hence, to the People. For more information on the Campaign to Divest the US Government of Food Regulation, click here (https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/?p=1601).

Please write to divestgovernment_food@gmail.com to indicate your interest in this special, life-saving campaign. We are planning a webinar on the topic and would like to keep you informed. Your email information will not be shared with anyone else and will be kept confidential by the Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org. Please indicate “Divest” in the subject line and we will notify you when the webinar will take place.

Worldwide team set to develop plant-based livestock vaccines
Written by Lautaro Vargas
Wednesday, 28 January 2009

DEVASTATING: A ruptured oral vesicle in a cow with foot and mouth disease
DEVASTATING: A ruptured oral vesicle in a cow with foot and mouth disease
Norwich based scientists are heading up an international collaboration that aims to develop plant-based vaccines for some of the most devastating diseases to afflict the world’s livestock.

Avian flu, foot and mouth disease and blue tongue are just some of the diseases targeted under the EU-funded project, led by Prof George Lomonossoff of the John Innes Centre (JIC) in Norfolk and backed by further participation from teams in Russia and South Africa.

Using a new system that lowers the time required to conduct the experiments from months to weeks, plants will be stimulated into producing specific proteins, which can subsequently be assessed for their value as vaccines.

It is the time taken for production of these proteins that has been accelerated, which means that large-scale screening for candidate vaccines is now within reach.

The partners say they have now shown that plant-based vaccines production and assessment is possible, and safe.

Professor Konstantin Skryabin, coordinator of the Russian laboratories for the PLAPROVA (Plant Produced Vaccines) project, said the development of new techniques for expression of vaccine proteins in plants is a very important topic for Russia.

He said: “Russian scientists have already obtained promising results and international collaboration in this field will contribute to the success of plant-based systems.”

PLAPROVA will utilise transient expression techniques to temporarily stimulate plants into over-producing proteins, which can subsequently be assessed for their value as vaccines.

Though plants have been used to produce pharmaceuticals in this way before, technical constraints have prevented their value from being fully realised.

The group say a few candidates with proven vaccine ability have been produced and, although these proteins are effective at preventing disease, they have limited commercial use as they are in competition with existing conventional products. They have, however, shown that plant-based vaccines production and assessment is possible and safe.

Initially, the consortium will concentrate on diseases of importance to farming in both the EU and Russia, which includes avian influenza, blue tongue, foot and mouth disease and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.

Proteins identified through this screening programme will be developed for large-scale production and ultimately low-cost production of effective vaccines.

Overall project coordinator Prof Lomonossoff, said: “The consortium brings together the leading laboratories from the EU, Russia and South Africa working to produce useful proteins from plants, and this international cooperation is central to the success of the project in battling diseases that affect us all.”

President, Natural Solutions Foundation

The General’s Communiqué

The new year starts with an important strategic development for Health Freedom. Your last minute efforts on New Years Eve pushed Health Freedom into the top three Health Care issues on Change.org, a web site which apparently may truly function as a direct channel to the President-elect. Responding to a request from Natural Solutions Foundation to make your voice heard, enough people went to the Health Freedom page from our site to vote our issue, Health Freedom, into third place and therefore into the second, and final, round of voting. Top ranked issues on Change.org will be presented to the new President on Inauguration Day. Health Freedom deserves to be Item Number 1 on the Issues List since Natural Solutions Foundation and you know that Health Freedom is Our First Freedom.

More information about this extraordinary development follows below in this Health Freedom Action eAlert. Please read it carefully and be prepared for action. We need you to be ready to act, since voting in Round Two of the Change.org’s pole is limited to January 5th through 15th. We’ll ask you to vote and ask you to share the opportunity with every single person on your list. We want Health Freedom to be the Number 1 Freedom issue presented to President Obama, and we want to be the presenters so that we know exactly what is being said… and YOU can make that happen.

One aspect of Health Freedom is controlling and reformatting the FDA. There is no Health Freedom with Industry at the helm of our Food and Health regulatory agencies. “Kathy’s Corner” focuses on how we need to organize to Divest the FDA of its food regulatory authority while Counsel Fucetola’s “Legal Eagle” section tells you about some of our preparatory work for that effort. “Dr. Rima’s Recommendations” are exactly the sort of important health options that the FDA and Big Pharma want to make illegal for each of us. Health Freedom IS the number one issue confronting us. We need to make sure that the new Administration hears that from our collective awareness of that truth. So your Change.org votes can, indeed, set the stage for a new day for Health Freedom.

Council and Trustee, Natural Solutions Foundation
Legal Eagle

I’m particularly excited about the potential for change we have in promoting health freedom with the New Administration and Congress this year. They have the opportunity to show that their rhetoric for change has substance: we will give them the format to work with.

It’s certainly going to be a year of legal changes, and we’re ready. I’m currently working on proposed legislation divesting the FDA of its food regulatory authority. This important bill, which we will present to our friends in Congress, will give them the language and information they need to bring our food out of the shadow of Big Pharma, Big Biotechna, Big Chema, Big Biotechna and Big Govt and into the light of healthy food production and regulation. Our goal is to have a bill introduced in the New Congress which will move us forward with the Natural Solutions Foundation’s 2009 Legislative Goal of Divesting the FDA of its Food Regulatory Authority.

Check the Health Freedom Blog at www.HealthFreedomUSA.org – I’ll be posting the draft legislation there shortly.

Here Comes Health Freedom: Change.org – Round 2

What a great way to start the New Year! Thanks to all you Mouse Warriors out there, we have wonderful news from Change.org —

“This idea [Health Freedom – Dr. Rima] finished in 3rd Place in the Health Care category and has therefore qualified for the final round. Final round voting will run from January 5th – 15th, and voting totals will be reset at zero for all qualifying ideas to ensure an equal playing field.”

The Top 3 Ideas in Health Care on Change.org Were:

Free Single Payer Health Care #2159
Fully Fund Medicaid Waivers for the Developmentally Disabled #1804
Health Freedom #1694

Here is the Change.org Health Freedom page: http://www.change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom

But something strange happened on the way to this initial victory. We were the only Health Freedom organization to take advantage of the opportunity. On December 30, we asked you, along with all of your friends, to vote for Health Freedom at Change.org so that Health Freedom could be one of the 10 ideas presented on inauguration day to the new President.

You voted and got us into third place in a little over 24 hours. We went from 98th place to 3rd place, enough to get us into the second round. But something strange happened on the way to this initial victory. In the final hours of voting, leading up to midnight, December 31st, suddenly competing “Health Freedom pages” suddenly began showing up in the Health Care category. This flurry of December 31 page entries is unprecedented elsewhere on the Change.org system. For example, in Domestic Poverty, 45 Votes were recorded on Dec 31 @ 06:35AM PST for a single item. Interestingly, that item was the only December 31 entry in its category. Keep reading to find out why that flurry of “Health Freedom” pages is so significant!

Real Health Freedom advocates are activated and motivated: 10,644 people visited the page for which I asked you to vote by using our links. I suspect many of you were confused by the voting procedure – I know that I was and it took me some time to figure it out. Imagine what would have happened if we had all voted for a single idea: Health Freedom is our First Freedom! It would be far and away the winner in all categories.

What’s Right with Health Freedom? You!

What’s Wrong with Health Freedom? Keep Reading

The people who think that the most important thing is to defeat or damage the rest of the health freedom team so they get to be more important [or even worse motivations] are a serious problem to your health freedom. What happened at Change.org during this vote is a perfect example and we need to change it.

You probably know that there are irrational and irrelevant attacks on people in the health freedom movement – including us – by people with a variety of motivations. You also know that Natural Solutions Foundation does not attack anyone, ever. If anyone thinks that these attacks help anyone except the egos of the attackers and the other side, think again.

Here is a perfect example:

Our December 30 call blast asking you to go to www.Change.org and vote for Health Freedom as a major issue for the Obama Administration to consider was done with great seriousness. To get from where Health Freedom was at that point (98th place) to ranking in the first 3, we needed about 1200+ votes.

The Health Freedom page which we asked you to go to so you could vote had our organization listed as well as three others: we did not put up a page with only our organization because the issue is not us, it is Health Freedom for all of us. In other words, it’s about scoring a Health Freedom victory, not taking possession of territory. None the less, other people supposedly in the health freedom movement seem to have tried (but failed!) to stop YOU from claiming YOUR victory.

We garnered a total of 1804 votes in less than 24 hours, putting us in third place and putting us in the second round of voting. As soon as we started gaining traction, an astonishing additional 34 pages were posted with the phrase “Health Freedom” within hours of our eblast asking people to make Health Freedom a national priority. Now, it is possible that some people misunderstood the way the system worked and thought that by posting a Health Freedom page they were adding a vote. I know one of the posts by a friend of mine was surely an accident of that sort. But the “leaders” who posted those pages surely understood the process.

Consider this: there were a total of 140 votes for those “extra” 34 pages. One “leader” of the Health Freedom Movement posted her comments in 4 separate sections, each one of which got 5 votes. Why? Well, the result was that instead of being in second place, we came in third. It is hard not to conclude that the intent of those 34 pages was to drain off votes so that the issue went nowhere in the process.

Happily, you were active and committed enough to vote us into the final round and for that we thank you. But what sort of “leadership” is it to mobilize people for NEGATIVE benefit to the cause in which they claim to believe by such transparent misdirection?

The truth of the matter is that the other side — Big Pharma and its fellow “Bigs”: – Big Finance, Big Agra, Big Govt, etc., are well organized, huge, enormously well funded and very, very cleaver. They can certainly manipulate online efforts to seek to thwart us. But when our ostensible allies do it… For shame!

Can we really afford to behave this way any longer? Is this juvenile competitiveness worthy of us, is it the best we can do and can it win the Health Freedom War? The answer is clear.

Most people do not know or care about the attacks, counter attacks and foolishness of this behavior. They want their health and their freedom. But the so-called “leaders” who lead this way are leading them over a cliff.

OK. That’s over and what’s done is done. What’s next? The second round.

In a couple days we will be mounting a page on www.HealthFreedomUSA.org at which we will coordinate an all out campaign of support to reach first place nationally on Change.org. We hereby invite ALL of the Health Freedom groups to join us. If they do, we know which side they are probably on. If they do not, we know which side they are certainly on.

In other words, this is a Rubicon for Health Freedom. Just as when Caesar pronounced that the Romans crossing the River Rubicon would change Rome’s course forever, so this event created by Change.org, is a Rubicon for us.

Those who are willing to work together, drop their absurd territoriality and bickering, are welcome to join forces with you and with me. We are, after all, the single most powerful voice for health freedom in the world and your response over the New Year’s holiday proved that conclusively.

If others mount a divisive campaign, shame on them. If they mount a cooperative campaign, sunshine on them. If they continue to seek to divert our (and your) attention with irrational and even violence-implying attacks, we will rise above such pettiness and Keep Our Eyes on the Prize: Health Freedom.

For America and for the world, Health Freedom IS a First Freedom!

Change.org is one way we can tell the new administration in no uncertain, and very positive, terms what is needed to insure that our sovereignty over our own bodies is assured and that we are not menaced with “treatments”, toxins or threats to that personal sovereignty which is essential to free men and women.

So join us, from January 5 to January 15, in urging everyone you know to vote for Health Freedom, our First Freedom. And be ready to help everyone you know understand how important the simple click of a mouse can be to their health and health freedom.

Mouse Warriors: are you ready? Starting on January 5, anyone can go to the page Natural Solutions Foundation is about to put up and make sure that the Obama Administration understands that Health Freedom is our First Freedom.

That, and divesting the FDA of its Food Regulatory Authority, should keep us busy – and free – in 2009. What a great opportunity for change!

Ready? Here Comes Health Freedom!

Dr. Rima Recommends
Adrenal Support For Normal Adrenal Function

Modern life is stressful and insurmountable stress is, quite literally, a killer. Our stress response mechanism is adapted for short bursts of stress followed by longer periods of tranquility. Show me someone whose life is like that and I’ll show you someone who lives in a lead mine or in seclusion in a Himalayan monastery!

We all suffer from the effects of chronic stress and our bodies do not thank us for it. Overwhelming stress may, after long enough, feel normal to us, but is because we have gotten use to having our bodies break down and are no longer paying attention.

Adrenal stress is associated with chronic degenerative diseases (including deadly ones like cancer and crippling ones like arthritis), undesired weight gain, mineral and blood chemistry disregulation, fatigue, immune suppression, premature aging and a host of other negative consequences.

Let me tell you what I use for myself and what I recommend for people suffering from adrenal stress or its more severe cousin, adrenal collapse: Vital Nutrients’ remarkable product called, simply, Adrenal Support – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=230.

The label of this product tells the story since every item in the product helps to restore normal adrenal function. And Vital Nutrients is a company whose products I know to be clean and wholesome. No GMO products or products derived from GMOs are used and purity is a huge issue for them. In short, I trust their products.

Adrenal Support contains:

Adrenal (whole) Bovine 300 mg and Adrenal (cortex) Bovine 150 mg : Adrenal Cortex from Organically Raised, clean cattle has been shown to be effective taken orally (by mouth) and helps to restore normal blood sugar regulation, red blood cell volume and non-protein blood nitrogen, an important physiological marker. http://westonaprice.org/archive/britton.html

Eleuthro Extract (Eleutherococcus senticosus) 28:1 200 mg : Also known as Siberian Ginseng, Eleuthro has been used in traditional medicine to support energy, regulate blood pressure, and increase our ability to tolerate stress of many kinds and assist energy levels in people with chronic fatigue. Econ Med Plant Res. 1985;1:156-215), http://www.vitalnutrients.net/hq_handouts2.asp?VitaminName=Adrenal%20Support

Ashwaganda Extract 5:1 200 mg: Asgawanda, or Indian Ginseng, is a revered rejuvenation herb in Ayurveda and is used to support adrenal function through its sedating effect while it helps to restore normal digestive and nervous system function. It is also strongly anti-inflammatory with consequent anti-arthritic properties as well. http://www.vitalnutrients.net/hq_handouts2.asp?VitaminName=Adrenal%20Support

Cordyceps sinensis Extract 4:1 100 mg: This mushroom extract has a very long history of use for its rejuvenation impact on adrenal function and for its help in restoring normal liver and lung support. http://www.vitalnutrients.net/hq_handouts2.asp?VitaminName=Adrenal%20Support

Pantothenic Acid 100 mg : One of the major stress vitamins, Pantothenic Acid (B 5), is associated with energy production and supports the thyroid, another energy-related gland. It is vital for optimal adrenal activity (including increasing production of cortisone and other adrenal hormones) and supports numerous biochemical processes necessary for healthy adrenal and energy function. http://www.vitalnutrients.net/hq_handouts2.asp?VitaminName=Adrenal%20Support

I have found that Adrenal Support – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=230 – along with some others that we will be talking about, are extremely effective in returning your adrenals to a state of normal function. These statements, while not approved by the FDA, represent my experience on a personal basis, too.

You can imagine the kind of stress that General Stubblebine and I are exposed to through the work we do for health freedom. Constant travel, less than perfect food, long hours of burning the candle at both ends (like right now!) to bring you health freedom information, etc., have certainly taken a toll on our adrenal systems. We cannot afford to get sick so we pay close attention to our bodies. We, like others who think that we “can take it” found out the hard way how important it is to nourish and take care of the needs of your adrenals before you find out the hard way that they have collapsed!

A word of caution, though: for most people, adrenal support should be taken early in the day. For severely adrenal compromised persons, please consult your local advanced health care provider.

Pregnant women should not take this product without consulting a physician.

But pretty much everyone else should and I hope that you will give it a try! I know that I want my adrenals in tip top shape to protect me from the ravages of stress and I bet you do, too.

Oh, don’t forget that your purchase on www.organics4U.org gives you a 40% tax deduction as our “Thank You” gift while you support your health and Health Freedom.

SUMMARY: Organizing to Divest the FDA

Let’s talk briefly about how you can help us organize to take away the FDA’s power to deny us access to wholesome foods and natural remedies.

We will need people who can contact their local Congresspeople. We need conscientious members of Congress to be willing to introduce our Divest the FDA bill. If you have a personal relationship with any member of Congress, especially any ranking Democratic member, please contact me at dr.laibow@gmail.com with “Congress” in the subject line. We need your help.

Please remember to ask everyone you know to join the Action eAlert system at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.or/index.php?page_id=187 .

We need to grow the list in order to be ready to generate the hundreds of thousands, even millions, of messages to Congress that will be needed to change the law.

And, of course, your generous donations are certainly appreciated; we need your support to educate Congress on this important issue: https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/index.php?page_id=189 .

A Word From Dr. Rima

Some time ago the Elders of the Hopi Nation (Oraibi, Arizona) issued a warning message to the world. Their words resonate deeply with me today since this Health Freedom Action eAlert issues a call for all of us who love Health Freedom and understand that it is our First Freedom, to come together and bring our message to national and global prominence. Back biting and squabbling will get us nowhere, but the system has offered us an unexpected and important opportunity to amplify our voices while the world’s eyes are on the coming inauguration.

It is deeply meaningful to me, too, because I am now in Panama helping to create a unique, but easily replicated, Valley of the Moon (TM) Eco Demonstration Project – www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org – to help reclaim the production of food around the world so we are looking toward the soil, toward our community, toward ourselves for leadership.

I offer you the wisdom of the Hopi Elders as you embark upon a year of health, peace, prosperity, accomplishment, joy and love.

Hopi Message

“You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.
And there are things to be considered:

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships? Are you in right relation?
Where is your water? Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community. Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!

There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river
Keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.
See who is in there with you
And celebrate.

At this time in history we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

May your New Year be everything you wish for yourself and your loved ones,

Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima

SUMMARY: Health Freedom is Alive and Well – And It’s Only Going to Get Better in 2009!

We’re coming up to another new year… and we’re almost a decade into the new millennium. Time certainly moves on! Our HealthFreedomUSA.org web site and the Natural Solutions Foundation were founded in 2004; in 2005 we announced the Codex 2 Step Process – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/index.php?page_id=220 – to allow countries to defy Codex and provide – and trade – clean, unadulterated food; we published our seminal ” Nutricide” DVD – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/index.php?page_id=156 – telling people – including Codex Delegates! – what Codex really is and where it came from; we announced our overall strategy to achieve and maintain free access to healthy foods, dietary supplements and natural remedies. We called that strategy “The International Decade of Nutrition” – www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org – and have initiated three major projects to demonstrate ways to reclaim food production, ending under-nutrition and the diseases that go along with it, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity, the major killer diseases. Two of those projects are in West Africa and one is in Panama. You can click here – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/?p=1711 – to read about the extraordinarily positive developments in the Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project in Volcan, Panama and here – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/?page_id=1130 – to taste our very first “Friendly Food” Certified Valley of the Moon(TM) product: GMO Free, Pesticide Free, Chemical Free Shade Grown Valley of the Moon(TM) Coffee!

I am drinking some right now and it is spectacular! To bring that to you we had to find, and apply, a natural solution to the fungus that destroys the crop here and we have done that. Now we will provide that all-natural solution to the local farmers so they don’t have to use toxic chemicals for their crops!

With your strong support we’ve achieved some remarkable successes. Take a look at our List of Accomplishments at: https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/index.php?page_id=195

But, of course, such success sometimes comes with the odd Internet denizen or two (and they really are odd!) nipping at our heels and complaining about… all sorts of bizarre irrelevant matters. You may have seen some of the recent Internet furor fueled by poison pen emails from two or three of these odd malcontents.

These attacks always happen when we are getting close to major breakthroughs. And that is what this eblast is about: our hopes and plans for the coming year. Without your help, we will achieve nothing. With your help we will achieve amazing results!

And that’s the truth. During the past few weeks of unrelenting Internet attack our Health Freedom Action eAlert mailing list has grown by over 10,000 new members!

THANK YOU! You have spoken loud and clear. We are humbly appreciative of your continuing support!

This year will provide us with great challenges and choices for change.

If you are in the US, one way to make change is to visit www.Change.org – http://www.change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom – and vote for Health Freedom as a vitally important area of consideration and change for the new administration. This is definitely worth the effort.

Click here – http://www.change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom – to read what the Natural Solutions Foundation Trustees have posted and then add your voice. “Voicing” ends on December 31, 2009. We only need 5000 voting voices to make Health Freedom the number 1 priority of the Change.org system. This may be a real opportunity to raise our collective voices to bring about a real change in the US to re-establish health freedom in place of the growing trend toward health tyranny. Do it now.

Click as if your life depends on it — because it might !

I wish you a wonderful, peaceful, healthy and free New Year. Please check below where we set out the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Wish List for 2009…

SUMMARY: Nutritional Silver Safety is Now Easy to Calculate with the Silver Safety Pyramid

The Natural Solutions Foundation is deeply impressed with the capacity of nano silver to protect against all know biological pathogens (disease causing agents) and enthusiastically recommends the use of a laboratory-tested nano silver product, available at www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions (-> products tab -> “Silver Solutions” on left hand side of page).

Questions arise frequently about the safety of silver because of vastly over-rated reports and fears of argyria (bluish-tinged skin following profound overuse and abuse of silver solutions). Nano silver is not stored int the body because of its extremely small particle size and so poses no threat to humans. Many people either have questions or use other forms of silver so we want to offer you a gift of knowledge on this issue.

Along with a number of other professionals involved in advanced healthcare and the health freedom movement, I am a member of the Silver Safety Committee for our Foundation. I’m pleased to announce that the Committee has created the Silver Safety Pyramid and an online calculator so you can determine the safe level of nutrient silver for you.

Is silver safe? Here is what one of my fellow committee members has to say:

“The two things we treat children for most often in poison control centers are toxic intake levels of water and of table salt. Anything in excess is toxic. With normal responsible usage, silver supplements are entirely harmless to humans.”

Jeffrey Blumer, MD, PhD; Director of the Center for Drug Research

Health Freedom Action eAlert
New Year’s Wish List for Us All (+ All US!)

1. FDA Divested of Food Regulatory Authority

US Congressional Hearings on Divesting the FDA, supported by appropriate public outrage leads to a new Cabinet Level Department of Agriculture and Food headed by a Consumer Protection advocate with a separate watchdog agency with no budgetary ties to the organization it is overseeing. Anyone with ties to industry is barred from serving in either a decision making or advisory capacity. Conflict of Interests render the person ineligible to serve in any capacity in the agency. All boards are dominated by consumers, scientists and physicians specializing in health, not illness, to promote open market access to nutritious food, dietary supplements and natural remedies.

2. FTC Bans Advertising and Sale of Vaccines in Interstate Commerce

Federal Trade Commission holds hearings on dangers of vaccines, as requested in our Citizens Petition, and correctly concludes that there is no compelling scientific proof of either vaccine safety or efficacy. FTC then bans advertising which states or implies that vaccines are either safe or effective and bans advertising for, and the interstate commerce of, vaccines until they are proven safe and effective.

3. FrankenFoods Banned

Genetically Modified Foods are banned from the human and animal food supply and may not be grown pending a detailed scientific study on their safety for human, environment and animal health. All GMO plantings must be burned. No GMO crops which produce any industrial or medical products are permitted either in greenhouses or open plantings.

4. All GMO Patents Rescinded

All Biotech (GMO) patents are rescinded since the science upon which such patents have been granted is now understood to be false and inaccurate. No new patents are permitted and all current ones are suspended until further investigation is concluded. International shipment of GMO foods is interdicted for commercial, safety and scientific reasons.

5. Natural Medicine Receives Government and Insurance Incentive, Support

The financial crisis created for the US and global economies results in natural medicine receiving insurance and government support to reduce the amount of money spent on medical care from 16+% to 8% over the next 5 years.

6. Organic Family Farming Receives Financial Incentives, Organic Standards Raised to Meaningful Levels

Organic family farming and foods receive government subsidies while the Codex and National Organics Board standards are revisited to permit upward revision of each and every standard to a level which supports and enhances human, animal and environmental well-being.

7. US Codex Participation Limited to Consumer and Health Advocates, Corporations Barred from Participation

US Codex participation is declared off-limits to corporate interests. Only consumer advocates and health scientists may participate as US delegates to all Codex meetings and activities. Codex reverses course and becomes a force for global health, as its original Statute contemplated.

8. Forced vaccination and Drugging Declared Illegal

All forced vaccination and medication programs are declared illegal through unanimous consent of Congress.

9. Non Toxic Farming Becomes US Domestic and Foreign Priority

Food Production US Domestic and Foreign aide programs are developed to teach chemical free agriculture in the US and elsewhere

10. Poisons Forbidden for Humans and Animals

The use of fluoride, mercury and other toxins, including pesticides, herbicides and industrial sludge, are banned for foods, medicine, dental, agriculture and similar applications.

11. Antibiotics are Banned in Food Animals

Veterinary antibiotic and other drug use is banned for food animals and natural medicine is encourgaged for animals intended for consumption

12. US Joins Global Movement Against Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Other Persistent Toxins

The US ratifies the Stockholm Convention banning the 12 most toxic chemicals known, 9 of which are pesticides and engages on educational and regulatory programs to ban all toxic chemicals associated with food or agriculture from the environment. Seven of these POPs are permitted by Codex in food without labeling or other identification.

13. The Production of Food is Shifted Away From Industrial, Toxic Methods to Totally Natural Ones in the Hands of Family Farmers

Advanced technologies which produce chemical free, safe, clean food are subsidized for family farms while industrial farms are taxed so heavily for their pollution, inhumanity and health degradation that they cannot stay in business. Local production feeds local communities.

14. What’s next?

Write to us at dr.laibow@gmail.com and tell us what YOUR wish list for 2009 holds. We are listening!

15. R&R

General Bert, Ralph and I all get a vacation sometime this year! Mine involves skiing!

16. Natural Solutions Foundation’s Net Roots Take Wing

We have not just the 193,000+ people on our Health Freedom Action eAlert list that we do today, but 20 million+ active, concerned and involved people around the world spreading the word and making sure that the global message goes out: “My body is my property and I can make my own health decisions freely and without interference!”

17. Blessings Descend Upon Us All

Your year, and that of those you love, like ours, is truly blessed with peace, prosperity, health, joy and accomplishment in the company of those you love and those who love you.

18. Resources Become Available to Win the Codex and Health Freedom Struggles

Sufficient funds to carry out all our objectives make themselves available. For example, a couple of million dollars, judiciously used, would solve the Codex problem by creating an effective voice for consumers and galvanizing the “Coalition of the Unwilling” — those countries unwilling to submit to the current Codex agenda of support for industrial food and destruction of organic foods, natural remedies and nutritional supplements. Also, 100 strong supporters for the Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project will move us forward substantially in teaching farmers and others around the world the methods and skills necessary to reclaim food production.

19. Disinformation Attacks Disappear

All irrational disinformation attacks on us will vaporize into the mists of morning and the energy they consume will actually go to solving the problems we are facing instead of creating divisions and strife which serves the other side but weakens health freedom.

20. The Natural Solutions Foundation’s International Decade and its Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project show the way in Ending Hunger and Its Deadly Consequences

The Valley of the Moon(TM) ‘s type of food production and Eco Community organization sets the standard for farmers, consumers and countries around the world through education and participatory agriculture and health practices.

21. The Health Freedom Battle is Over – We Have Won!

I can go back to the full time practice of natural, drug-free medicine.

22. Everyone Who is Interested Gets to Experience the Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project

You and I get to meet when you visit the beautiful, bountiful, temperate Highlands of Panama and experience the Valley of the Moon (TM) for yourself!

23. You Get to Experience “A Little Taste of Heaven in a Cup (TM)”

You try our Shade Grown, Valley of the Moon(TM) GMO Free, Pesticide-Free, Chemical-Free Coffee – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/?page_id=1130#order

and love it so much you give it as gifts to everyone you know for either beverage or detox use. Your tax deductible donation says “Thanks!” in your morning cup of Java and you are loving it!

24. Right Makes Rights Once Again

The looming crises to our way of life and constitutional rights, health freedoms and other invasions of our liberties vanish.

May it all be so for all of us in 2009, a year of health, prosperity, productivity, joy and happiness.

Dr. Rima Recommends
Stem Enhance – Nature’s Healer

Today I want to talk about 2 products.

Individually they are each remarkable. Together they are extraordinary. I use both of them daily and so does General Bert. I have seen exceptional success with them in my natural medical practice and know how wide their impact can be. Since they stimulate and enhance natural healing processes, the range of conditions they deal with is exceptional. After all, give the body/mind/spirit/energy unit (that’s a human being, by the way) what it needs to heal and, most of the time, it will do just that, regardless of the pharmaceutical/allopathic dogma!

Health Aid 1: Stem Enhance ( http://www.wealthbuilderssystem.com/site/index.asp?DL=140935&page=103264&ad=0 ) is an extract of blue green algae which has the proven ability to signal your bone marrow to release adult stem cell – YOUR adult stem cells.

Stem cells are the renewal system of the body because they have unique, nearly limitless healing abilities to detect areas of the body that need help and flock to that site. Once there, they set about altering themselves to become – literally – whatever type of cell is needed, whether it is a heart cell, or a brain cell or a kedney, etc.

Of course, the trick is getting the body to pay attention to the danger and release adult stem cells. All too often, although we are making adult stem cells, we keep them “hidden away for a rainy day” in our bone marrow and other physiological hidey-holes. As we age, or with the stress of illness,
Stem Enhance knows that trick and literally calls forth stem cells lurking in the bone marrow and elsewhere.

Stem Enhance is totally natural, easily available and, in my experience, strikingly effective in helping the body to correct serious, long term and often devastating problems – in short, to return to normal structure and function despite serious or even lethal diagnoses.

Click here – http://www.wealthbuilderssystem.com/site/index.asp?DL=140935&page=103264&ad=0 – to learn more about Stem Enhance and its amazing ability to stimulate release of adult stem cells in your body and here – http://organics4u.stemtechbiz.com/quickorder.aspx – to get started using Stem Enhance to harness the power of your own adult stem cells.

Naturally Enhances Circulation and Detox

Health Aid 2: Stem Flo – https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1239 – reduces oxidative stress and enhances circulation within 30 minutes of taking this all natural combination of widely known circulatory stimulators according to laboratory studies. That means that the adult stem cells released by your body when you take Stem Enhance are carried with greater effect to every part of your body. Of course, even without Stem Enhance, increasing circulation is helpful for a great many people. Click here – http://www.stemflo.com/index.html – to see the natural ingredients which have been synergystically combined to provide circulatory support and then imagine what increasing blood flow to the brain, heart, kidneys, lung, etc., can do to bring stem cells, nutrients and oxygen to them while removing debris and toxic waste at the same time!

Together with Stem Enhance or alone, I find that Stem Flo is a unique and highly effective circulatory aid to help the body return to normal structure and function.

SUMMARY: It’s a New Year and that means New Opportunities.

I’ve said it before, but it deserves repeating: we are here because YOU care. You care about your health and that of your family. You care about your freedom. And, as we’ve learned in the past few weeks, you care about us.

I take care of the hundreds of emails that come to our Foundation every day, forwarding to Gen. Bert, Dr. Rima and Counsel Ralph your messages, answering those that I can. What has most impressed me recently have been the hundreds of messages of support and good wishes. That, and the impressive growth in our Health Freedom Action eAlert list tells me that we can count on you, just as you can count on us!

Please remember to ask everyone you know to join the Action eAlert system at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.or/index.php?page_id=187

And, of course, your generous year-end donations are certainly appreciated: https://www.staging.healthfreedomusa.com/index.php?page_id=189

A Word From Dr. Rima

My personal wish for your 2009 is exactly the same as my personal wish for my year and that of my family: peace, prosperity, health, joy, accomplishment and, not least, freedom. Personal freedom, health freedom, civil freedom, and the freedom to learn, share information and think your own thoughts free from harassment, inhibition or interference. Oh, yes, I urgently wish us in the US all a return to to the Constitutional form of Government which protects and directs a free society.

2009 CAN be a year of decisive forward movement for freedom – all freedom – if we join hands and hearts, ignore the distractions and disinformation (which indicate just how effective we are!), focus on committing ourselves to taking back our legitimate power and using it for making our voices ring loud and clear in the halls of power, in our homes and hearts.

Happy New Year!

Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima

GM Files: FrankenFoods To Make You Sterile

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Think about it for a moment: unlabeled GMOs with medical consequences, including, as in this case, sterility, constitutes the force feeding of industrial toxins to a global population. You might call it forced drugging, and you would be right.

One would tend to assume that food sold to consumers would not have intended or unintended medical consequences like birth defects, cancer, auto immune diseases, infertility or sterility. One would be wrong. Since FDA and USDA do not conduct, or examine, safety studies except once very early on in the approval process when they review preliminary safety testing provided by the corporation developing the product (!), these “foods” (Frankenfoods, really) are launched into the market place with neither safety testing nor review of safety testing by our supposed “watchdog” agencies.

Natural Solutions Foundation believes in your health freedom. Apparently, the FDA and USDA do not. If they did, they would not permit dangerous, untested and unlabeled (that is, forbidden to be labeled!) GMO “food” to be sold in the US as “food” (for people) and “feed” (for animals who are, ultimately, eaten by people). You see, we believe that your right to safe, unadulterated foods and it also includes your right to have children if you want to, and grandchildren, too.

Seven months ago we noted that a little-known genetic bioengineering firm in California, Epicyte, announced the development of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide which made the semen of men who ate it sterile in 2001. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault. Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company. It was astonishing to learn that Epicyte had developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same USDA which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held by Monsanto.

Every independent scientific review of safety of which I am aware documents the serious, potentially lethal, and now, sterility-inducing impact of these “foods”. One has to wonder whether the Epicyte human sterility gene is part of the NK 603xMon810 genome now since its impact is sterility.

Whether it is or not, what is clear is that the consumption of the unlabeled “foods” or their by products and derivatives poses as great a threat to humanity as the ever-promised Avian Flu Pandemic. Eat them at your own risk. And get involved to pressure your Congressional members to become co-sponsors of, and strongly support, the 2 excellent bills before Congress now which would require safety testing and labeling of all GMO foods. Click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25920) to send you strong message to Congress for your food rights.


Genetically Modified “foods” do not have names. They have numbers

Real food has names, usually less than 3 syllables. GMO “foods” and “feeds” hide behind initials and numbers like the biochemicals they are: e.g., NK 603 and Mon810. Those are genetically engineered corn types permitted for human and animal food in the US and the EU and elsewhere in the world. Neither corn (or “maize” as it is also called) has EVER been properly tested for safety by an independent governmental agency. No safety review of independent, non-industry studies has ever been done by a government agency anywhere in the world. Independent studies have never been commissioned by any government agency before these foods were approved, strictly on the basis of corporate assurances that these “foods” were safe in the US, Europe and elsewhere.

The reality is that when independent studies are conducted on these “foods”, they are neither safe nor benign.

The FDA thinks it is perfectly fine to take those rights, and your posterity, away from you without your knowledge or consent. By allowing genetically modified (GMO) “foods” which are known to reduce fertility in animals (we are, reproductively speaking, biologically similar to the animals being tested) and forbidding labeling of GMO foods or ingredients, the FDA says that foods like NK603 and Mon810 are acceptable to them. Is the truth that this is part of a long-stanidng, wide-ranging depopulation program using multiple ways to eliminate your ability to reproduce?

Who cares? You do, and so do we.

Thanks for your continuing support. Without it, the Natural Solutions Foundation could not continue its important work.

Genetically-engineered food: potential threat to fertility
Study shows that genetically engineered maize affects reproductive health in mice

Vienna, Austria, 11 November 2008 – A study published today by the Austrian government identified serious health threats of genetically engineered (GE) crops. In one of the very few long-term feeding studies ever conducted with GE crops, the fertility of mice fed with GE maize was found to be severely impaired, with fewer offspring being produced than by mice fed on natural crops. Considering the severity of the potential threat to human health and reproduction, Greenpeace is demanding a recall of all GE food and crops from the market, worldwide. Of course, that would mean changing the happy approval of Codex of all “foods” genetically modified and all GMO “feeds” as well. We’ll need your strong support to build the coalition to mass the muscle to reopen those issues. It can be done, of course, but we need your help.

Your only protection on your table and in your cupboards right now, of course, is to eat, grow and source organic food. Only organic food. Too expensive? What is your health worth and, if you are of child bearing age, the ability to have children or have your children have children? A few dollars more in food per week? Probably. If you can’t afford the expense, start doing intensive gardening in a corner of your apartment, on your patio or in a small corner of your garden. Foot Square Gardening references abound on the internet, at your library and in your book store. Take a look. Even in the winter it’s pretty simple to do indoors. Don’t delay, though. The damage from these Frankenfoods is cumulative.

The study, sponsored by the Austrian Ministries for Agriculture and Health, was presented today at a scientific seminar in Vienna, Austria. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Zentek, Professor for Veterinary Medicine at the University of Vienna and lead author of the study, summarised the findings: Mice fed with GE maize had less offspring in the third and fourth generations, and these difference were statistically significant. Mice fed with non-GE maize reproduced more efficiently. This effect can be attributed to the differences in the food source.

“GE food appears to be acting as a birth control agent, potentially leading to infertility – if this is not reason enough to close down the whole biotech industry once and for all, I am not sure what kind of disaster we are waiting for,” said Dr. Jan van Aken, GE expert at Greenpeace International. “Playing genetic roulette with our food crops is like playing Russian roulette with consumers and public health”.

The Austrian scientists performed several long-term feeding trials with laboratory mice over a course of 20 weeks. One of the studies was a so-called reproductive assessment by continuous breeding (RACB) trial, in which the same parent generation gave birth to several litters of baby mice. The parents were fed either with a diet containing 33% of a GE maize variety (NK 603 x MON 810), or a closely related non-GE variety. A decrease in litter size and weight was found to be statistically significant in the third and fourth litters in the GE-fed mice compared to the control group.

Owned by Monsanto, the GE maize variety tested in this study is tolerant to a herbicide and resistant to certain insect pests. It has been approved for planting and food use in a variety of countries, including the US, Argentina, Japan, Philippines and South Africa. In Mexico and the European Union(1), it is approved for food and feed use.

“This study is yet another example that the food and feed safety of GE crops and food cannot be guaranteed. The reproductive toxicity of this GE maize was a totally unexpected result, but regulators around the world had considered this GE maize variety as safe as non-GE varieties – a potentially devastating error,” said Dr. van Aken.

Notes to Editors:

(1) In 2005, the European Food Safety Agency EFSA gave a green light for this variety. Without conducting any independent studies and just relying on Monsanto’s data, EFSA wrote it “considers it unlikely that NK603 x MON810 maize will have any adverse effect on human and animal health”. This exemplifies how flawed and ill-designed the European risk assessment for GE crops is.
