Linda’s comments:  Here is more proof of what our government does  and how much control they have over our media…..WAKE UP FOLKS….

Garry’s Comments:

Here you have proof that FDA ignored the bovine growth hormone issue in spite of Canada’s ruling against it due to the potential of increased cancer. What is so frightening is that Fox news, owned my Rupert Murdoch, states openly:  we decide what it the news. They fire employees who have the story well documented that Americans needed to know and when the employees sue Fox news, of course, Fox wins.  

This is how Monsanto seemed destined to control the world, yet consumers got the message and refused to buy their contaminated milk and Monsanto sold off the bovine growth hormone division.  

There is still power in a fully informed public! The Internet is not yet controlled by the media so there is still hope. We need to get good at getting our message to the public and articulating it in a fashion they relate to on a scientific and emotional level.

You may have seen this before. This would be a great video to show to any jury prior to an alleged FDA violation trial…

Linda’s Comment:  Unfortunately not enough know how to treat Lyme, as well as identifying the disease. There is way to much mis-diagnosis of Lyme disease.  Most doctors, not just the consumers, know how to treat this disease and many more don’t subscribe how to treat it.  With the IDSA guidelines for diagnosing is not correct, they continue to recommend treatments that DO NOT WORK…Everyone relates this to ticks, where as they have found Lyme in rodents, ticks, fleas, ear mites….

Excerpt:

Abstract Lyme disease (LD) is rare in British Columbia (BC) and, despite 
being a reportable condition since 1994, may be underreported. Here we 
review all provincial laboratory and clinical databases to determine the 
number of LD cases reported in BC from 1997 to 2008. 

Linda’s comment:  A friend of mine on another group posted this valuable information….make a copy for your purse/wallet…IMPORTANT…

With all the food and pet products now coming from China, make sure to
scrutinize the labels. But no matter what the front of a box or package
says, turn it over and study the bar code. Many products no longer show
where they were made; they show only where the distributor is located. The
bar code will show the product’s origin.

Below are the first three digits of the barcode, and where the product is
made:

00 – 09 . . . . . . . . .     USA and/or Canada.
30 – 37 . . . . . . . . .     France
40 – 44 . . . . . . . . .     Germany
49 . . . . . . . . . . . . .      Japan
50 . . . . . . . . . . . . .      UK
471 . . . . . . . . . . . .     Taiwan
690 – 692 . . . . . . .    China

Also, if a product says “made in PROC,” this is People’s Republic of
China-China.

Excerpt:

Lyme disease is reported across Canada, but pinpointing the source of infection has been problematic. In this three-year, bird-tick-pathogen study (2004–2006), 366 ticks representing 12 species were collected from 151 songbirds (31 passerine species/subspecies) at 16 locations Canada-wide. Of the 167 ticks/pools tested, 19 (11.4%) were infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.). Sequencing of the rrf-rrl intergenic spacer gene revealed four Borrelia genotypes: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) and three novel genotypes (BC genotype 1, BC genotype 2, BC genotype 3). All four genotypes were detected in spirochete-infected Ixodes auritulus (females, nymphs, larvae) suggesting this tick species is a vector for B. burgdorferi s.l. We provide first-time records for: ticks in the Yukon (north of 60° latitude), northernmost collection of Amblyomma americanum in North America, and Amblyomma imitator in Canada. First reports of bird-derived ticks infected with B. burgdorferi s.l. include: live culture of spirochetes from Ixodes pacificus (nymph) plus detection in I. auritulus nymphs, Ixodes scapularis in New Brunswick, and an I. scapularis larva in Canada. We provide the first account of B. burgdorferi s. l. in an Ixodes muris tick collected from a songbird anywhere. Congruent with previous data for the American Robin, we suggest that the Common Yellowthroat, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Song Sparrow, and Swainson’s Thrush are reservoir-competent hosts. Song Sparrows, the predominant hosts, were parasitized by I. auritulus harboring all four Borrelia genotypes. Our results show that songbirds import B. burgdorferi s.l.-infected ticks into Canada. Bird-feeding I. scapularis subadults were infected with Lyme spirochetes during both spring and fall migration in eastern Canada. Because songbirds disperse millions of infected ticks across Canada, people and domestic animals contract Lyme disease outside of the known and expected range.
