Excerpt:
Silymarin, one of the most popular herbal medicines, has been widely used for its hepatoprotective effects. This study investigates the effects of repeated dose of silymarin and its major ingredient, silibinin, on the pharmacokinetics of the antidepressant trazodone. Treatment groups included vehicle control group, concomitant silymarin at 1.0g/kg dose, and four 7-day repeated dose induction groups of 0.5, 1.0g/kg silymarin and 0.175, 0.35g/kg silibinin.
What a GREAT gift to all….thank you “Mitchell Bebel Stargrove ND, LAc”….

Excerpt:
They said youngsters were spending more time indoors on their computers rather than previous generations who spent time playing outside with their friends.
The two medical experts have called for Vitamin D to be added to milk and other food products.
They said modern diets often lack Vitamin D and this could be a big reason - along with changing lifestyles - for the increasing health problems, in particular rickets in children.
The main source of Vitamin D is sunlight, through skin exposure. But it is also present in a small number of foods, such as oily fish or cod liver oil.
Linda’s comments: Please share this with all you know….You just may save a life…make sure you go to the main webpage found at http://www.responsibletechnology.org and sign up for the newsletter. Together we can win this war. I guarantee you if you read Jeffery’s books you will want to form an army to take down Monsanto. They LIE - CHEAT- and do NOT give a hoot about our health and welfare…. Learn all you can about GMO foods and just how deadly it is. Protect our children and grand-children from the deadly GMO foods. JUST SAY NO TO GMO!!
Excerpt:
A wise customer wanted to find out if the corn nuts she was eating were from genetically modified (GM) corn. She emailed the company and got a shocking reply. It began:
“Thank you for your contact. We are not aware of any GMO free corn in the U.S. We feel it is a ridiculous concern based on very poor science.”
The email, reproduced at the blog of Kelly the Kitchen Kop, even recommended:
“. . . if these concerns are truly important to you, you may be better served at a health food store.
We appreciate your patronage.
The Customer Support Team,
American Importing Co., Inc.”
Talk about being opinionated and misinformed.
There’s overwhelming evidence showing that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are unsafe. And there are plenty of sources for non-GMO corn.
Did this email get you angry? Are you thinking about flooding the company’s email with hostile missives? I had another idea.
I phoned the company owner.
I figured that although the email’s author was clearly misled, I also knew all about Monsanto and the other devious corporations that dis-informed him—and how they skillfully depict GMO critics as ridiculous and unscientific.

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Pour in oil and saute onion and garlic until golden-brown. Stir in tomatoes, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, lentils, tomato paste, oregano, pepper, and salt. Turn heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. Sprinkle in cheese and stir until melted. Serve immediately, or cool and freeze. Serves 8
Linda’s comments: READ labels folks….this is more proof why we need to eat organically. If it isn’t GMO it is tainted with toxins, pesticides and insecticides.
Linda’s comment: Were you aware that all those beautiful flowers women get on Valentine’s Day is full of Toxic Pesticides. Most don’t think about buying organic flowers. Between the flowers and the corn syrup in the candy, everyone should have a “toxic” day. I don’t mean to rain on your Valentine Day’s celebration, but things like this needs to be brought to everyone’s attention. Who would have thought??? THEN, you have the “child slavery” used to pick and ship these beautiful flowers….

Wait a minute; that cannot possibly be true.
Can it?
The US Department of Agriculture states that “the Guinea pig’s vitamin C requirement is 10-15 mg per day under normal conditions and 15-25 mg per day if pregnant, lactating, or growing.” (1)
Well, that sounds reasonable. But how much is that compared to humans?
An adult guinea pig weighs about one kilogram (2.2 pounds). Guinea pigs therefore need between 10 and 25 milligrams of C per kilogram.
