Health Freedom Uses the New Media:
Natural Solutions Webinars
INDEX
Introduction
Current Webinars
————————————-
We — you and us together — are the ‘net roots’ of Health Freedom, providing Natural Solutions to the problems that threaten our health and health freedom. The better informed we are, the more effective we become.
Using the Internet to achieve our goals, we constantly look for ways to share information in the continuing educational campaign that forms a principle thrust of our Health Freedom campaign.
Through our web sites and social networking links, our Health Freedom Action eAlerts and the action items they contain. Through the forums we’ve established on Yahoo!Groups. Through our attendance at Codex and other meetings with the YouTube video reports we’ve posted shortly after each event. Through our Health Freedom Blogs. We use many advanced communications techniques to keep you, our ‘net roots’ in the loop and in front of the crowd.
Based on your feedback and our advisers’ input, we are proud to offer you a new, enhanced outreach program:
The Health Freedom Action Webinars

Off-shore placement of retirement funds may not be available for much longer. In fact, your retirement funds are being eyed by the cash-starved US government. At the same time, your health freedom and access to clean food and dietary supplements is under more attack than at any time in the past. Retirement funds can support the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSoltutionsFoundation.org, in Panama while the Valley of the Moon helps to protect your health freedoms and reclaim the production of food.
This is more than a win-win relationship. It is a must-win relationship for both you and health freedom. Join us to learn more and find out what others are doing to protect their health and their wealth. Tuition includes a $15 tax deductible Donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation and a free eBook you can share with others to help them get the picture, too.

FDA
“Fraud and Death Administration”
Taking Back Food from the Government
It’s really simple, you know. If enough people demand it, the government will behave itself. We saw that a couple years ago when 598,000 of us sought to tell the FDA to leave our natural remedies alone… and the infamous anti-CAM guidance remains in limbo to this day. It comes down to taking simple actions to make sure the agencies, Congress, the President and other decision makers get your message loud and clear. Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder.
That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:
1. Right to Use ~ Right to Choose
Use Nano Silver, Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver
Questionable “Consumer Organizations” Petition EPA to Ban Nano Silver – Deadline extended to March 20th.
Tell EPA Not to Ban Nano Silver of Any Type http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405
Defending Nano Silver
https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1773
Good work! Your vigorous response to the approaching deadline caught the attention of the EPA. So many of your responded that the deadline was extended by 2 months. Now, Mighty Mouse Warriors, keep on clicking! And remember to tell your entire contact list that health freedom is under attack – again!
Ask them to take action here:

The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.)
Health Freedom is gaining new allies. Earlier this week Dr. Rima and I had some preliminary meetings with The City of Knowledge Foundation in Panama, seeking additional support for the International Decade of Nutrition’s Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project. In about 2 weeks we are being flown to Europe for a very special presentation that must remain quiet for now… We’ll be posting YouTube videos from that event, however, so check our YouTube channel often: http://youtube.com/naturalsolutions.
You see, Europe is already in the process of losing most of its supplements and all of its high potency ones. We in the US still enjoy access to them, but the FDA is gearing up to bring us into “HARMonziation” with the Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline just like Europe where the European Food Supplements Directive will make advanced health through high potency, varied nutritional supplements a criminal activity.
Natural treatments of all sorts are being seriously restricted there and the EU’s 27 countries met secretly not long ago to force GMO “franken foods” on a strongly unwilling population despite laws and objections. It’s a case of “follow the money – and you’ll find the genocidalists along with the bankers!” But Europe is waking up and Dr. Rima and I are making this trip to help that happen. We’ll keep you posted, of course.
After that, we’ll be filming some documentary footage and doing interviews and, I am happy to tell you, sneaking away for a few days of very, very much needed R&R. We’ll keep you posted on that, too.
One of the Principles of War is “Surprise”. You never want to be surprised and you always want the enemy to be surprised. That’s why it is so important for our side to disseminate high quality information. So if you did not have a chance to read my last communiqué on the current health freedom threat status, I urge you to do so now. Here’s the link to this very important message.

Change.org continues to promote Health Freedom as one of its Top Ten Ideas for Change! We can help them by clicking onto their site, taking a look at the videos we’ve posted and commenting on them. Thanks!

Divest the FDA!
While We’re At It, Divest the USDA, Too!
Action Step:
Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26314
It’s pretty ho-hum no-news that the FDA is failing miserably at every aspect of its mandate.
~Mercury in high fructose corn syrup (which is usually made from genetically modified “Franken Corn” ~MSG, a known neurological and pancreatic poison (of the excitotoxin class) in vaccines, kids food (and adults food, too) ~Melamine OK in baby’s formulas and the general food supply despite the fact that it can be lethal to babies and there was no safe level until the FDA unscientifically declared that there was ~Irradiated just-about-everything-including-salad-greens ~Antibiotics so widely used that antibiotic resistant (“flesh eating” staph shows up in pork and other foods, industrially genetically modified plants growing next to natural ones and contaminating them forever, ~Salmonella laced peanut butter ~Down graded organic foods to make Big Agribiz as happy as Big Pharma ~Conflicts of interest so blatant that the government no longer tries to deal wth them, ~Cattle producers forbidden to test their cattle for “mad cow” disease because they might find it, ~Sweeteners that can cause blindness, MS and brain damage, ~Acrylamide in snack foods, ~Dangerous unlabeled GMOs passed off as “equivalent” so consumers won’t ask, don’t know, ~Veterinary drugs and pesticides permitted in food despite known hazards, ~Viruses sprayed on foods, ~Cloned meat and milk, and on and on and on.
Thanks to the FDA, the “Fraud and Death Agency”, and the USDA, the “” agency, the US diet is not life sustaining: it is disease and death inducing. Our diet, thanks to these agencies, is literally killing us. Why? Because the regulators work for, and owe their allegiance – and their financial well-being, to the regulated industries.
Enough!
Congressional report after Congressional report, Hearing after Hearing makes it clear that the agencies charged with protecting our food can no more do that than the EPA can clean up and protect our environment. Again and again Congress affirms that the agencies have failed and then “solves” the problem by acting like the lunatic who, unsuccessful at a problem, does the same thing again, making the problem worse, not better.
Enough!
Congress take note: throwing money at the FDA and USDA and giving them more authority does not solve the problem. We have 80 years of proof that this strategy just makes things worse.
Enough!
Yes, the only answer is to take food regulatory authority away from these death dealing agencies and give it back to the States where popular pressure and control is far more meaningful. How to do that? By the same kind of pressure that made Congress do a 180º reversal of direction in 1994. Instead of voting to ban all nutrients (are you noticing a pattern here?) they responded to the millions of letters from Americans from all walks of life and passed legislation treating nutrients as foods which, as such, should not be regulated as if they were drugs. That legislation is called the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and public pressure in its favor is the ONLY reason that we have access to dietary supplements at all.
The lesson is clear. It is public pressure, like the 2×4 the apocryphal farmer used to get the mule’s attention, which drives enlightened public policy, NOT politicians and certainly not the lobbyists they routinely bow to.
The FDA does a poor enough job “regulating” dangerous and deadly drugs. There is no way an agency so pervasively corrupt and inept can change its ways and suddenly become the custodian of health and healthy foods when those very foods are the chief economic competitor of the drugs whose approval supplies the lion’s share of the operating budget of the FDA through “Users Fees”. The conflict of interest is so monumental that it fairly takes your breath away.
Enough!
Drugs are not the very core of life. Food is.
During 2009, the Natural Solutions Foundation will be creating and pursuing a campaign to take back our food from the inept and corrupt hands of the US Government (which also means getting the FDA and USDA out of Codex, by the way). We are going to be asking for your help in dissemination and for action steps.
Ready to get the government out of food and get food out of the government? Click here – http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26314 – to tell your Congressmen and women that the drug makers can have the FDA to play with, but we want the FDA and USDA out of the food regulation business.
And remember to click here – https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189 – to make your tax deductible donation to this vitally important campaign. All us us who eat are in this together, you know. And we need your help to set the table to serve up the dish known as health freedom, with clean, unadulterated food as the main course!
By the Way, While you still can get it, get some great Nano silver here:
www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
Go to Products and then scroll down to Silver Solutions (bottom of left side menu).
Nano silver has a very long shelf life, years really, so you can safely lay in your supply NOW!
General Bert told you that we speakers at an important conference in Europe. Make no mistake: we never, but never, leave home without silver. We believe that it is one of the most important reasons that we virtually never get sick and if we do, get better very, very quickly.
Please share this information with your friends and contacts and ask them to help protect food and freedom, too. Let them know that they can get their very free subscription to the Health Freedom Action eAlerts at https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187.

The multiple ways Monsanto is putting normal seeds out of reach
by Linn Cohen-Cole
People say if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, just don’t
buy their GMO seeds.
Not so simple. Where are farmers supposed to get normal seed these
days? How are they supposed to avoid contamination of their fields
from GM-crops? How are they supposed to stop Monsanto detectives from trespassing or Monsanto from using helicopters to fly over spying on them?
Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking
samples and if they find any GMO plants growing there (or say they
have), they then sue, saying they own the crop. It’s a way to make
money since farmers can’t fight back and court and they settle because they have no choice.
And they have done and are doing a bucket load of things to keep
farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying,
collecting, and saving of NORMAL seeds.
1. They’ve bought up the seed companies across the Midwest.
2. They’ve written Monsanto seed laws and gotten legislators to put
them through, that make cleaning, collecting and storing of seeds so
onerous in terms of fees and paperwork and testing and tracking every
variety and being subject to fines, that having normal seed becomes
almost impossible (an NAIS approach to wiping out normal seeds). Does your state have such a seed law? Before they existed, farmers just collected the seeds and put them in sacks in the shed and used them the next year, sharing whatever they wished with friends and
neighbors, selling some if they wanted. That’s been killed.
In Illinois which has such a seed law, Madigan, the Speaker of the
House, his staff is Monsanto lobbyists.
3. Monsanto is pushing anti-democracy laws (Vilsack’s brainchild,
actually) that remove community’ control over their own counties so
farmers and citizens can’t block the planting of GMO crops even if
they can contaminate other crops. So if you don’t want a GM-crop that grows industrial chemicals or drugs or a rice growing with human DNA in it, in your area and mixing with your crops, tough luck.
Check the map of just where the Monsanto/Vilsack laws are and see if
your state is still a democracy or is Monsanto’s. A farmer in Illinois
told me he heard that Bush had pushed through some regulation that
made this true in every state. People need to check on that.
4. For sure there are Monsanto regulations buried in the FDA right now
that make a farmer’s seed cleaning equipment illegal (another way to
leave nothing but GM-seeds) because it’s now considered a “source of
seed contamination.” Farmer can still seed clean but the equipment now has to be certified and a farmer said it would require a million to a
million and half dollar building and equipment … for EACH line of
seed. Seed storage facilities are also listed (another million?) and
harvesting and transport equipment. And manure. Something that can
contaminate seed. Notice that chemical fertilizers and pesticides are
not mentioned.
You could eat manure and be okay (a little grossed out but okay). Try
that with pesticides and fertilizers. Indian farmers have. Their top
choice for how to commit suicide to escape the debt they have been
left in is to drink Monsanto pesticides.
5. Monsanto is picking off seed cleaners across the Midwest. In Pilot
Grove, Missouri , in Indiana (Maurice Parr ), and now in southern
Illinois (Steve Hixon). And they are using US marshals and state
troopers and county police to show up in three cars to serve the poor
farmers who had used Hixon as their seed cleaner, telling them that he
or their neighbors turned them in, so across that 6 county areas, no
one talking to neighbors and people are living in fear and those
farming communities are falling apart from the suspicion Monsanto
sowed. Hixon’s office got broken into and he thinks someone put a
GPS tracking device on his equipment and that’s how Monsanto found
between 200-400 customers in very scattered and remote areas, and
threatened them all and destroyed his business within 2 days.
So, after demanding that seed cleaners somehow be able to tell one
seed from another (or be sued to kingdom come) or corrupting
legislatures to put in laws about labeling of seeds that are so
onerous no one can cope with them, what is Monsanto’s attitude about labeling their own stuff? You guessed it – they’re out there pushing laws against ANY labeling of their own GM-food and animals and of any exports to other countries. Why?
We know and they know why.
As Norman Braksick, the president of Asgrow Seed Co. (now owned by
Monsanto) predicted in the Kansas City Star (3/7/94) seven years ago, “If you put a label on a genetically engineered food, you might as
well put a skull and crossbones on it.”
And they’ve sued dairy farmers for telling the truth about their milk
being rBGH-free, though rBGH is associated with an increased risk of
breast, colon and prostate cancers.
I just heard that some seed dealers urge farmers to buy the seed under the seed dealer’s name, telling the farmers it helps the dealer get a discount on seed to buy a lot under their own name. Then Monsanto sues the poor farmer for buying their seed without a contract and extorts huge sums from them.
Here’s a youtube video that is worth your time. Vandana Shiva is one
of the leading anti-Monsanto people in the world. In this video, she
says (and this video is old), Monsanto had sued 1500 farmers whose
fields had simply been contaminated by GM-crops. Listen to all the
ways Monsanto goes after farmers.
Do you know the story of Gandhi in India and how the British had salt
laws that taxed salt? The British claimed it as theirs. Gandhi had
what was called a Salt Satyagraha, in which people were asked to break the laws and march to the sea and collect the salt without paying the British. A kind of Boston tea party, I guess.
Thousands of people marched 240 miles to the ocean where the British
were waiting. As people moved forward to collect the salt, the British
soldiers clubbed them but the people kept coming. The non-violent
protest exposed the British behavior which was so revolting to the
world that it helped end British control in India.
Vandana Shiva has started a Seed Satyagraha – nonviolent
non-cooperation around seed laws – has gotten millions of farmers to
sign a pledge to break those laws.
American farmers and cattlemen might appreciate what Gandhi fought for and what Shiva is bringing back and how much it is about what we are all so angry about – loss of basic freedoms.
The Seed Satyagraha is the name for the nonviolent, noncooperative
movement that Dr. Shiva has organized to stand against seed
monopolies. According to Dr. Shiva, the name was inspired by Gandhi’s
famous walk to the Dandi Beach, where he picked up salt and said,
“You can’t monopolize this which we need for life.” But it’s not just the
noncooperation aspect of the movement that is influenced by Gandhi.
The creative side saving seeds, trading seeds, farming without
corporate dependence-–without their chemicals, without their seed.
“All this is talked about in the language that Gandhi left us as a
legacy. We work with three key concepts.”
“(One) Swadeshi…which means the capacity to do your own
thing–produce your own food, produce your own goods….”
“(Two) Swaraj–to govern yourself. And we fight on three
fronts-–water, food, and seed. JalSwaraj is water independence–water freedom and water sovereignty. Anna Swaraj is food freedom, food sovereignty. And Bija Swaraj is seed freedom and seed sovereignty. Swa means self–that which rises from the self and is very, very much a deep notion of freedom.
“I believe that these concepts, which are deep, deep, deep in Indian
civilization, Gandhi resurrected them to fight for freedom. They are
very important for today’s world because so far what we’ve had is
centralized state rule, giving way now to centralized corporate
control, and we need a third alternate. That third alternate is, in
part, citizens being able to tell their state, ‘This is what your
function is. This is what your obligations are,’ and being able to
have their states act on corporations to say, ‘This is something you
cannot do.'”
“(Three) Satyagraha, non-cooperation, basically saying, ‘We will do
our thing and any law that tries to say that (our freedom) is illegal…
we will have to not cooperate with it. We will defend our freedoms to
have access to water, access to seed, access to food, access to
medicine.'”

I nominate Lawrence Summers for the Natural Solutions Foundation Hall of Shame. Perhaps the fact that he has been nominated for a second term as the Secretary of the Treasury by our newly elected President should widen that nomination.
The following memo by Lawrence Summers was written in 1991, when Mr. Summers was the Chief Economist for the World Bank. Mr. Summers was President of Harvard University until he noted in public that women lack the mental ability to do science.
Just in case you thought that the notion of a genocidal agenda by the global elite is “just a conspiracy theory”, please read the words of Mr. Summers himself rationalizing polluting the developing world because it is cheap, effective and the increased cancer ratios will not show since the people there do not live long enough to develop the cancers.
This insane “logic” was effectively pierced by the Brazilian Minister of Environment whose comments follow.
Mr. Summers is, as of today, President Obama’s pick for Secretary of the Treasury, a position he held under President Clinton as well.
Health Freedom? Freedom? Personal Rights? Protecting the Vulnerable? You tell me.
And then make sure you do everything you can to support the Natural Solutions Foundation in our support of your health and freedom. Click here (https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189) to donate, here (https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187) to join the Health Freedom Action eAlert list, here (http://www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org) to learn more about the International Decade of Nutrition and the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project and here (http://www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org) to order our magnificent Shade Grown, Friendly Food Certified Valley of the Moon Coffee. It’s free from pesticides, herbicides and other dangerous “cides” and every bag supports the work of the Natural Solutions Foundation. It’s our first product grown to teach farmers how to reclaim the production of food without chemicals or dangerous processes. Each $25 donation brings you a half pound of this exceptional coffee and a donation receipt for $20. Try it yourself and give it to your friends and colleagues. It really is “A Little Bit of Heaven in a Cup(TM) which supports health, not disease, the environment, not devastation and helps us keep your health and freedom intact against the other side, whoever they might be.

FR: Lawrence H. Summers
Subject: GEP
‘Dirty’ Industries: Just between you and me, shouldn’t the World Bank be encouraging MORE migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Less Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons:
1) The measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the foregone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality. From this point of view a given amount of health impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that.
2) The costs of pollution are likely to be non-linear as the initial increments of pollution probably have very low cost. I’ve always though that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City. Only the lamentable facts that so much pollution is generated by non-tradable industries (transport, electrical generation) and that the unit transport costs of solid waste are so high prevent world welfare enhancing trade in air pollution and waste.
3) The demand for a clean environment for aesthetic and health reasons is likely to have very high income elasticity. The concern over an agent that causes a one in a million change in the odds of prostrate cancer is obviously going to be much higher in a country where people survive to get prostrate cancer than in a country where under 5 mortality is is 200 per thousand. Also, much of the concern over industrial atmosphere discharge is about visibility impairing particulates. These discharges may have very little direct health impact. Clearly trade in goods that embody aesthetic pollution concerns could be welfare enhancing. While production is mobile the consumption of pretty air is a non-tradable.
The problem with the arguments against all of these proposals for more pollution in LDCs (intrinsic rights to certain goods, moral reasons, social concerns, lack of adequate markets, etc.) could be turned around and used more or less effectively against every Bank proposal for liberalization.
Postscript
After the memo became public in February 1992, Brazil’s then-Secretary of the Environment Jose Lutzenburger wrote back to Summers: “Your reasoning is perfectly logical but totally insane… Your thoughts [provide] a concrete example of the unbelievable alienation, reductionist thinking, social ruthlessness and the arrogant ignorance of many conventional ‘economists’ concerning the nature of the world we live in… If the World Bank keeps you as vice president it will lose all credibility. To me it would confirm what I often said… the best thing that could happen would be for the Bank to disappear.” Sadly, Mr. Lutzenburger was fired shortly after writing this letter.
Mr. Summers, on the other hand, was appointed the U.S. Treasury Secretary on July 2nd, 1999, and served through the remainder of the Clinton Administration. Afterwards, he was named president of Harvard University.

An Administration of Change? Where?
FDA Acts to Attack Health Freedom – Again, and Worse!
PYRIDOXAMINE: THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR DSHEA?
Before discussing the Vitamin B-6 ban, let’s briefly review FDA’s policies and initiatives that threaten health freedom and why DSHEA (the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act – 1994) is so important to your health freedom and why it is so much of a threat to the FDA.
DSHEA says that supplements and herbs are to be considered as food. Because they are food, there can be no limitation on dose, leaving the door open for the high potency supplements we enjoy so uniquely in the United States. Protected supplments, etc., are defined as those items available for sale and use in dietary supplements before June, 1994 (when DSHEA went into effect). The list of grandfathered substances was complied by the NNFA (now NPA) and accepted by the FDA. It defines the DSHEA protected substances and has been a core of health freedom as it pertains to supplements in the US since the law was passed.
The FDA is now unilaterally denying the fact that the list protects substances and acting to continue and accelerate the process of destroying access to high potency supplements upon which so much of our Natural Health options rest. Here’s the process the FDA is following:
First, in 2007, Congress rewards FDA for its failures by increasing its power. This was done through Sen. Kennedy’s FDA “enabling act” although our vigorous efforts (thank you!) did get the “DSHEA product savings clause” 1011 added to the bill. This important clause specifically exempts all DSHEA products from any provision in the bill.
Second, in 2008, FDA askes for public comments on how the “DSHEA product savings clause” applies to section 301(11) of the act which gives FDA authority to ban foods that are being studied for use as “treatment of disease.” The simple legal answer, of course, is that the section in question has no relationship whatsoever to DSHEA products since the entire law has no impact on DSHEA products.
We of course submitted our comments objecting to this evisceration of DSHEA and tens of thousands of Natural Solutions Foundation’s Mighty Mouse Warriors did likewise…

Third, a prior “Citizens Petition” from a pharmaceutical company is used by FDA as the excuse to ban a specific form of B6 (Pyridoxamine), negating the critically important 1994 NNFA Grandfather List of Dietary Ingredients for DSHEA is introduced. This opens all supplements to similar bans.
Fourth, comments are sought on the idea that FDA can ban any nutritional product it likes from interstate commerce despite legislative protection through the specific legislative prohibition preventing the FDA from doing so for products covered under DSHEA…
Read more at: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1956
Again, our valient Mouse Warriors took the challenge and clicked in large numbers to tell the FDA that we value both the rule of law and the protections of this bill for DSHEA products.
Fifth, , in Europe, the EFSD meets to discuss maximum permitted levels (MPLs) of nutrients …
Sixth, based on another one of those “citizens petitions” from favored “consumer” groups, EPA expresses its intention to ban topical nano silver despite the fact that it has already been approved as an efffective, inexpenisve and higly effective surface cleaner…
Seventh, FDA seeks to eliminate all nutrients and objects from health use which have had any study about them published of any sort whatsoever – this is the ultimate import of the dangerous section 301(11) of the act.
Eigth, FDA/CODEX seeks to eliminate all nutrients which have not had met an artificial “Significant Scientific Agreement” standard that violates DSHEA’s commercially reasonable standard of “competent and reliable scientific evidence.”
And the beat(ing) goes on…
Read more at: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1956
But back to Pyridoxamine. FDA’s “response” as noted above, to the position that DSHEA protects dietary supplements from the unfair tactic of some pharmaceutical company conducting a “study” of the ingredient for medical use and then using that to ban the competing natural substance, was to throw down the gauntlet at the feet of the industry and ban a legal, grandfathered nutritional supplement ingredient…

It’s our opinion that what we – health freedom advocates, industry and the consumers of the United States, together need to protect access to high potency supplements. It is also our opinion that we must engage in a concerted campaign to Divest the FDA (and the USDA) of Food Regulatory Authority. Congress has, at least three times before, divested FDA of authority it was misusing or failing to exercise well enough, when DEA, EPA and CPA were created.
How much more FDA mis-regulation can consumers and the industry survive? How much more FDA-mis-regulation will consumers tolerate? Are we ready to act?
So there we have it: either the FDA is divested of food authority or we will, bit by bit, then larger bit by larger bit, lose our access to high potency, advanced nutrition.

Divest the FDA!
I’ve posted another detailed example of why the FDA must be divested of its food authority before its mismanagement causes even more harm on our Health Freedom Blog ( https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1961 ). The Federal Government’s obscene “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy regarding GMO (genetically modified organisms) “food” creates the conditions for a mega-disaster of unimaginable severity.

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://staging.drrimatruthreports.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.
Campaigns like this are costly. All donations to the Natural Solutions Foundation are tax deductible and an astonishing 100% of all donations goes directly to the work of the Natural Solutions Foundation since all overhead is donated and the Trustees take no salaries. Click here (https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189) to give generously to help us help you by mounting an effective campaign to divest the US Government of its food regulatory authority and returning it to the People so that we can prevent the gross disregard for our well being, and the nightmarish destruction of our food and our health which the US regulatory structure allows.
Yours in health and freedom,

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.”
