Dr. Arpad Pusztai was an enthusiastic supporter of genetic engineering working on cutting edge safety research, until he discovered the dangerous truth exactly twelve years ago. In Part 1, Jeffrey Smith recounts his dramatic story and why we all owe Dr. Pusztai a debt of gratitude.

Exposing Biotech Propaganda

And don’t miss Part 2, where Jeffrey responds point-by-point to the biotech industry’s spin of the Pusztai affair, which is still being hyped in their new attack website. This is the first in a series of rebuttals to the website’s attack of Genetic Roulette (as promised).

Linda’s comment:  People listenUP and listen to this u-tube over and over until you have it memorized.  This is the TRUTH.  Many of you have listened to me complain for years and years about the toxins we are ingesting into our bodies.  Plastic, Aspartame, Sodium Fluoride, GMO, food additives, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.  On your margarine you will find 49% plastic, but they tell you that organic raw butter is not good for you.  Even hospitals serve these things to people who are already sick with autoimmune diseases caused from BAD toxic foods. 

In its never-ending attempt to fabricate “mental disorders” out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: Healthy eating disorder.

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, “Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder” and goes on to claim this “disease” is called orthorexia nervosa — which is basically just Latin for “nervous about correct eating.”

But they can’t just called it “nervous healthy eating disorder” because that doesn’t sound like they know what they’re talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds smart (even though it isn’t). That’s where most disease names come from: Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with a name like osteoporosis (which means “bones with holes in them”).

Getting back to this fabricated “orthorexia” disease, the Guardian goes on to report, “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”

Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there’s something wrong with you.

But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be “normal?” If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that’s okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic, natural foods, apparently.

What is “normal” when it comes to foods?
I told you this was coming. Years ago, I warned NaturalNews readers that an attempt might soon be under way to outlaw broccoli because of its anti-cancer phytonutrients. This mental health assault on health-conscious consumers is part of that agenda. It’s an effort to marginalize healthy eaters by declaring them to be mentally unstable and therefore justify carting them off to mental institutions where they will be injected with psychiatric drugs and fed institutional food that’s all processed, dead and full of toxic chemicals.

The Guardian even goes to the ridiculous extreme of saying, “The obsession about which foods are “good” and which are “bad” means orthorexics can end up malnourished.”

AAAS article on most recent XMRV study

 In their publication “Science Now.”  Hedging their bets?

Linda’s comment: So as I see it, it is just another pathogen that chronically ill people need to deal with….Is it really a virus, parasite, bacterial?????  Don’t feed it, get on the FIGHT program and stop it in its track. All of these critters like the spirochete love feeding off GMO, toxic chemical sweeteners, heavy metals, etc., etc., etc.,  This gives them their energies/food supply to wreak havoc on our bodies.  Healthy people have an advantage over chronic illness.  The FIGHT program is one of the best prevention programs I have ever experienced.

Listen up as the XMRV is just one of many new things that are attacking our bodies.  Scientists are having a difficult time keeping up with all the new tragedies attacking our bodies because of our toxic environments.

Excerpt:

A theory linking chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) to an infectious mouse virus known as XMRV has taken a second major hit. First proposed last October in Science, the virus-CFS connection was quickly challenged by a British group. Now a second team of British virologists reports that, after examining tissue from 170 CFS patients, they have failed to find evidence of XMRV.

Patients with CFS often report that their condition–a mix of symptoms including unexplained pains and excessive fatigue–began after an otherwise normal viral infection. And scientists in the past have preliminarily linked CFS to a few viruses. However, those links have fallen apart under scrutiny, and without a firm biological cause for CFS, victims continue to face skepticism that their condition is a “real” disease.

 Linda’s comments:  This is a great article on how to purchase organic produce and why it is important to do your best to eat organic.  I’m sure you have seen these BIG wooden tubs that folks use to plant flowers in?  These are perfect for your patio to plant your own organic produce, plus it isn’t on the ground to break your back bending over weeding, and feeding your plants…..I use chicken wire to protect it from rabbits, etc.  Zip ties are great for hooking it around the planter….Find your local organic farmers.  They are popping up all over Arizona, plus the Farmers Markets are growing like wild fire….

Excerpt:

NaturalNews) Organic produce is nutritionally superior to so-called “conventional” produce, according to a comprehensive review conducted by researchers from the University of Aix-Marseille for the French food agency (AFSSA) and published in the journal Agronomy for Sustainable Development.

“This critical literature review indicates that organic agriculture, as developed until now, has the potential to produce high-quality products with some relevant improvements in terms of anti-oxidant phytomicronutrients, nitrate accumulation in vegetables and toxic residue levels,” the researchers wrote.

To be recognized as “organic,” a food product must be produced without the use of genetic modification or chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and must promote sustainable cropping methods. In the United States, organically produced meat and dairy must be raised without the use of synthetic growth hormones or antibiotics. Hormones and antibiotics are banned in animal production across the board in the European Union.

Linda’s comments:  THIS is criminal in my book.  Do they think we have stupid stamped on our foreheads?  We can stop this or at least make enough noise that Monsanto will think twice.  The main thing we can do is JUST SAY NO TO GMO and DO NOT PURCHASE THESE DEADLY FOODS.  The consumers are in control and need to take a stand.  We need to put our feet down and stand against these companies that have NO regard for our health and safety.  Cancers and autoimmune diseases are on the rise.  You can bet that GMO foods are part of the problem.  Think of your children and grand-children.  Don’t you want them to lead a healthy life and live to teach their grand-children??  How many more lives have to be lost to these DEADLY foods?  Stop and think about this, when your past presidents would not allow the GMO foods to be served to their families how can they allow Monsanto to continue??  Follow the money!!!

Linda’s comments:  I can not encourage everyone enough to STOP eating  GMO foods.  Here is a study showing you what it does to rats, yet you are willing to eat GMO.  What do you think it is doing to your stomach, colon and digestive system??  It effects the heart, adrenal glands, spleen, colon. Have you ever stopped to think why we have a rise in Cancers?  If you love your children and grandchildren you will try and educate them against GMO foods. 

We present for the first time a comparative analysis of blood and organ system data from trials with rats fed three main commercialized genetically modified (GM) maize (NK 603, MON 810, MON 863), which are present in food and feed in the world. NK 603 has been modified to be tolerant to the broad spectrum herbicide Roundup and thus contains residues of this formulation. MON 810 and MON 863 are engineered to synthesize two different Bt toxins used as insecticides. Approximately 60 different biochemical parameters were classified per organ and measured in serum and urine after 5 and 14 weeks of feeding. GM maize-fed rats were compared first to their respective isogenic or parental non-GM equivalent control groups. This was followed by comparison to six reference groups, which had consumed various other non-GM maize varieties. We applied nonparametric methods, including multiple pairwise comparisons with a False Discovery Rate approach.

Big biotech claims that genetic engineering is a necessary step towards feeding the world’s growing population.  And yet debate still rages as to whether GM crops actually increase yields at all.  Furthermore, the UN recently stated that 30,000 people a day were starving to death, but not because of underproduction of crops.  It’s simply through lack of access.
