Time to STAND UP to the Food Industry

It IS Time to Stand Up. 

The world around us is standing up and saying "No More", in numbers that have never ever been seen before.  While the Main Stream Media tries to hide what is going on world wide, the truth is getting out faster and faster as the "alternative" media has now become the leaders in bringing news to the people. 

CHANGE comes from and through the people.  If you think you can sit back and that someone "official" will look after you and your family, then you are vastly misguided.

No One Is Coming To Save You.

If you want CHANGE then you must be the CHANGE you wish to SEE.  Does that mean you have to go out and protest?  That you have to burn cars and throw rotten eggs and scream and yell?   NO it doesn't.   But it DOES mean that you need to take some responsibility for those changes that you want to happen.  It DOES mean that you need to be involved- in whatever way resonates with you- to CREATE CHANGE.

Ask yourself this:  If I am not willing to stand up for my family's health and welfare, then who will?

I'm not asking you to get involved in "fighting" everything, or even most things.... but the time is NOW to PICK SOMETHING and GET INVOLVED.

Even the Main Stream Media is starting to talk about the horrific health of the average population in North America and in Western Europe.  The Alternative Media has been over flowing with facts and studies and information about the toxins in our food supply, our water, our air, and in our medications.

Two days ago I posted an article "The Food Industry Makes a Shift: STAND UP!" 

It was based on a skype post that a good friend of mine made.   He's decided to up the ante.


It IS Time NOW to GET UP and DO Something to Create CHANGE.

AMERICA AND THE WORLD YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO STAND UP AND MAKE THE CALLS.
  WE HAVE REACHED A TURNING POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS TIME TO PUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY ON NOTICE THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BUY THEIR CHEMICALLY LACED POISION FOOD PRODUCTS THEY ARE SELLING US ANY LONGER. IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE A STAND. IT IS INCUMBENT ON THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH SAFE HEALTH FOOD FREE OF CHEMICALS, LIKE GMO'S, MSG, FLOURIDE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE, AZODICARBONMIDE, ASPARTAME, HIGH FRUTOSE CORN SYRUP, THESE ARE JUST A FEW. THE FOOD INDUSTRY IS LACED WITH CHEMICALS THEY PUTTING IN OUR FOOD. IT IS TIME TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. EFFECTIVE YESTERDAY WE PUT THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY ON NOTICE AND TOLD THEM THEY WE DEMAND THEY CLEAN UP THEIR FOOD OR WE WILL PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS. WE WILL NO LONG BUY THEIR CONTAMINATED FOOD PRODUCTS. YESTERDAY AND TODAY WE LAUCHED ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MYSPACE, AND SKYPE AGAINST THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY AND MAJOR FOOD CHAINS. BELOW IS A LIST OF STORES WITH PHONE NUMBERS. PLEASE CALL THEM AND VOICE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR FOOD IN A CALM COOL AND COLLECTED MANNER WITH OUT YELLING AT THEM.

Do YOU know what Chlorpropham is?

Do YOU know what Chlorpropham is?

Chlorpropham... ever heard of it?  I certainly hadn't until I watched this awesome video put together by a 5th grader.  Elise tells the story of her project about sweet potatoes, and her effort to get one to sprout..... and what she learned about the chemical Chlorpropham that is sprayed on a lot of vegetables and fruit to stop them from sprouting...

Now, we all know about the evil of GMOs and pesticides, but have you ever heard of this chemical Chlorpropham?  I certainly had never heard of it before!  So I decided to do just a little bit of research - and I mean a very little bit, because page one of Google search on Chlorpropham provided me with all the info I really needed.


Cornell University:  http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/carbaryl-dicrotophos/chlorpropham-ext.html

INTRODUCTION

Chlorpropham is a plant growth regulator used for preemergence control of grass weeds in alfalfa, lima and snap beans, blueberries, cane berries, carrots, cranberries, ladino clover, garlic, seed grass, onions, spinach, sugar beets, tomatoes, safflower, soybeans, gladioli and woody nursery stock. It is also used to inhibit potato sprouting and for sucker control in tobacco (1). Chlorpropham is available in emulsifiable concentrate and liquid formulations.

TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS

ACUTE TOXICITY

Chlorpropham is moderately toxic by ingestion (2). It may cause irritation of the eyes or skin (2). Symptoms of poisoning in laboratory animals have included listlessness, incoordination, nose bleeds, protruding eyes, bloody tears, difficulty in breathing, prostration, inability to urinate, high fevers, and death. Autopsies of animals have shown inflammation of the stomach and intestinal lining, congestion of the brain, lungs and other organs, and degenerative changes in the kidneys and liver (2)

Giving floride the flush

I've always been leery of fluoride. Not when I was a kid and completely brainwashed by the propaganda put out by the schools and my dentist and doctor. Once my eldest daughter got to the age of having her teeth brushed, I started questioning it.  I mean, the box clearly states that toothpaste should never be swallowed, right?!  I had a terrible time trying to figure out how to keep my 12 month old from swallowing the toothpaste (that she seemed to think was even nummier than ice cream!!).  It wasn't until a friend brought me a tube of fluoride-free childrens toothpaste that I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.  But still, there was a niggling doubt that lingered:  I mean, fluoride was everywhere- especially in our drinking water!!  How could it be dangerous to swallow toothpaste, yet OK to drink fluoridated water? So I began researching and was horrified by this chemical that every health authority seems to think was a miracle cure for cavities...so much so that they saturated everything with it including our drinking water!!  I strongly suggest that every parent do some research on the topic of fluoridation Before they allow their child to have a drink from the water fountain, or get a glass of juice made from tap water. Fluoride has been slowly poisoning our children!!!

Prominent researcher apologizes for pushing fluoride

"Why'd you do it, Doc? Why'd you toss the fluoride folks overboard?"

I had just tracked down Dr. Hardy Limeback, B.Sc., Ph.D., in Biochemistry, D.D.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry for the University of Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research.

Dr. Limeback is Canada's leading fluoride authority and, until recently, the country's primary promoter of the controversial additive.

In a surprising newsmaker interview this past April, Dr. Limeback announced a dramatic change of heart. "Children under three should never use fluoridated toothpaste," he counseled. "Or drink fluoridated water. And baby formula must never be made up using Toronto tap water. Never."

Why, I wondered? What could have caused such a powerful paradigm shift?

"It's been building up for a couple of years," Limeback told me during a recent telephone interview. "But certainly the crowning blow was the realization that we have been dumping contaminated fluoride into water reservoirs for half a century. The vast majority of all fluoride additives come from Tampa Bay, Florida, smokestack scrubbers. The additives are a toxic byproduct of the super-phosphate fertilizer industry."

"Tragically," he continued, "that means we're not just dumping toxic fluoride into our drinking water. We're also exposing innocent, unsuspecting people to deadly elements of lead, arsenic and radium, all of them carcinogenic. Because of the cumulative properties of toxins, the detrimental effects on human health are catastrophic."

A recent study at the University of Toronto confirmed Dr. Limeback's worst fears. "Residents of cities that fluoridate have double the fluoride in their hip bones vis-a-vis the balance of the population. Worse, we discovered that fluoride is actually altering the basic architecture of human bones."

Skeletal fluorosis is a debilitating condition that occurs when fluoride accumulates in bones, making them extremely weak and brittle. The earliest symptoms?

"Mottled and brittle teeth," Dr. Limeback told me. "In Canada we are now spending more money treating dental fluorosis than we do treating cavities. That includes my own practice."

One of the most obvious living experiments today, Dr. Limeback believes, is a proof-positive comparison between any two Canadian cities. "Here in Toronto we've been fluoridating for 36 years. Yet Vancouver - which has never fluoridated - has a cavity rate lower than Toronto's." And, he pointed out, cavity rates are low all across the industrialized world including Europe, which is 98% fluoride free. Low because of improved standards of living, less refined sugar, regular dental checkups, flossing and frequent brushing. Now less than 2 cavities per child Canada-wide, he said. "I don't get it, Doc. Last month, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ran a puff piece all across America saying the stuff was better than sliced bread.

What's the story?" "Unfortunately," he replied, "the CDC is basing its position on data that is 50 years old, and questionable at best. Absolutely no one has done research on fluorosilicates, which is the junk they're dumping into the drinking water."

"On the other hand," he added, "the evidence against systemic fluoride in-take continues to pour in."

"But Doc, the dentists."

"I have absolutely no training in toxicity," he stated firmly. "Your well-intentioned dentist is simply following 50 years of misinformation from public health and the dental association. Me, too. Unfortunately, we were wrong."

Last week, Dr. Hardy Limeback addressed his faculty and students at the University of Toronto, Department of Dentistry. In a poignant, memorable meetng, he apologized to those gathered before him.

"Speaking as the head of preventive dentistry, I told them that I had unintentionally mislead my colleagues and my students. For the past 15 years, I had refused to study the toxicology information that is readily available to anyone. Poisoning our children was the furthest thing from my mind."

"The truth," he confessed to me, "was a bitter pill to swallow. But swallow it I did."

South of the border, the paradigm shift has yet to dawn. After half a century of delusion, the CDC, American Dental Association and Public Health stubbornly and skillfully continue to manipulate public opinion in favor of fluoridation.

Meantime, study after study is delivering the death knell of the deadly toxin. Sure, fuoridation will be around for a long time yet, but ultimately its supporters need to ready the life rafts. The poisonous waters of doubt and confusion are bound to get choppier.

"Are lawsuits inevitable?" I asked the good doctor. "Remember tobacco," was his short, succinct reply. Welcome, Dr. Hardy Limeback, to the far side of the fluoride equation. It's lonely over here, but in our society loneliness and truth frequently travel hand in hand. Thank you for the undeniable courage of your convictions.

Slowly poisoning our children

This is a must read article for all parents!!

FLUORIDE ALERT: Slowly Poisoning the Children?

Fluoride Rinse Program Instituted in Ohio Schools

by Sylvia P. Onusic, PhD
Our kids are getting too much fluoride. It’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere!  You might think, if a little is good, more is better. Not in the case of fluoride, which has no nutritional value in the human diet and is considered an extremely hazardous material which requires, by law, special transportation and disposal. Fluorine is the element, and all compounds of fluorine are called fluorides. Calcium fluoride occurs in nature but it is not calcium fluoride that is put into toothpaste, mouth rinse, drinking water, and other products. The fluoride added to US drinking water is considered a hazardous waste by EPA. Now it is purchased from China.  Remember the melamine in baby formula, the tainted dog food, the childrens’ toys and jewelry?
Before the 1950’s, fluoride was considered a poison by the American Dental Association and American Medical Association.  But after World War II, the American medical community flip- flopped, like some politicians, on their opinion of fluoride. In the 1950’s the American Public Health Service hired Edward Bernays, the grandson of Sigmund Freud, to sell fluoride to the American Public. He had previously done so with cigarettes, advertising that the best MD’s smoke Camels. After one study, which was not completed at Grand Rapids, Michigan, the US Public Health Service pronounced fluorides great for preventing cavities.  Since then fluoride chemicals have slowly made their way into many facets of our lives, our water, drugs, pesticides, toothpaste, mouth rinse, dental floss, and food products.
According to dental experts, the use of topical fluoride applications such as toothpaste, rinses, and mouth washes, as well as systemic treatments such as fluoridated water, only prevent cavities on  the smooth surfaces of the teeth (around the teeth) which means that the chewing surfaces (pits and fissures) are not affected by fluoride treatments. This is extremely significant for parents because it well known that 80 to 90% of cavities in children occur in the pits and fissures of the tooth, and that fluoride treatments are unable to prevent the great majority of cavities. So why use them?

“It is estimated that 84% of the caries experience in the 5 to 17 year-old population involves tooth surfaces with pits and fissures and fluorides cannot be expected appreciably to reduce our incidence of caries on these surfaces…”

Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Sued for Selling Toxic Baby Shampoo

Thursday, 22 April 2010 09:59

By Sarah Pierce If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer. The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit. A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products. You can read the details on that investigation at Legafi. HERE to go to the original article

1/3 of kids toys contain toxic chemicals

.... But notice: nothing is being done about it. A data base has been established for parents to look up the various toys to see if they contain any of the toxic chemicals.... but that's it. Is it not the responsibility of the governments to oversee the testing of these toys and to insure that toxic toys are banned? Why is it the responsibility of the parent to look up each and every toy that their children have, or that they are preparing to purchase for the holiday season? Is this data base well advertised? I've never heard of it before and if I haven't, I can guarantee that the vast portion of the consumer population hasn't either.

So great, we have a data base to refer too, and we can spend hours looking up each and every toy in our childrens rooms to make an educated decision about what is safe for our children to love. But WHAT is the government doing?

I think it's about time we asked them. Don't you?

Toxic chemicals found in a third of children's toys: Study

December 4, 2009

WASHINGTON – A third of the most popular children's toys in the United States this year contain harmful chemicals including lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, a US consumer group said Wednesday.

The Ecology Center, which published its findings on the website HealthyStuff.org, tested nearly 700 toys ahead of the Christmas shopping season and found that 32 percent contained one or more toxic chemical.
