Are Humans Like Rats? Or Are They Simply Guinea-Pigs?

February 27th, 2011 — 12:50 pm

God knows that we have to hope that human beings are not like rats, and not just for the reasons that may spring immediately to mind! But what is certain is that we have all been treated like guinea-pigs, in a global laboratory experiment that has already been running for most of the last decade… genetic modification and genetic engineering of currently widely consumed food crops!

This interview (videos below) with Dr. Arpad Pusztai makes it clear that we can only hope that we are not as susceptible as rats seem to be to what is termed ‘proliferative growth’ in the small intestine when we consume Genetically Modified foods. It is apparent that products such as the ‘Flavr Savr’ tomato (an early gentically modified — GM — product to be found on the supermarket shelves) which apparently caused pin-point bleeding in the rats’ bowel, and GM poatoes (experimental work on which became Dr. Pusztai’s widely media covered ‘downfall’, when he happened to utter a few words of true scientific concern about potential problems with GM food much to the discontent of powerful corporate concerns that wield international political power!) which may also cause abnormalities in the gut and/or liver (in rats!).

Additionally, more recent studies (as referred to by Pusztai) have also indicated similar concerns.

The problem being that unlike MOST prior scinetific work, that has to be done on innovative products with intense scrutiny BEFORE they get anywhere near the public-cosumption stage — this work has been done in ‘reverse order. WE have been eating GM for years — and well before exhaustive tests have been run, and in continued defiance of the negative evidence that work like Pusztai’s and others have provided!

Sources suggest that perhaps 70 to 80 percent of products on the typical US supermarket shelves now contains one or more GM ingredient.

It has been widely suggested that almost all soya and corn (maize) and related derivatves and ingredients are contaminated with GM strains (if not wholly and deliberately manufactured from such agricultural sources).

Genetically Modified Organisms are simply a spuriously justified, unnatural initiative, that has been pushed forward by corporate concerns looking to make huge profits. In effect companies such as Monsanto (amongst others) are manoeuvering themselves into a position to ‘own the food chain’ by exploiting GM related trademarked crops. They have callously destroyed small farmers who have not ‘trodden their path’, enabled to do this thanks to shocking legislation, enacted by former employes of the ‘concerned parties’ who have been awarded critical political positions in the legal system in the US. Such legislation protects the GM producers whilst demanding the impossible of the small farmer who is determined to farm in natural way — i.e. avoiding the use of GM seed crops, and employing seed saving methods that have been the tradition of real farming for thousands of years.

As humans seem to suffer ever more from strange and essentially ‘inexplicable’ ailments, according to ‘medical science’ — and in light of the observation of the Russian Nobel Laureate, Dr. Elie Metchnikoff, in the early 1900’s, that ‘death begins in the colon‘ — it seems likely that we will begin to reap a truly bitter GM harvest in years to come…

From beneficial insects (such as ladybirds/ladybugs — the digsetive deterioration of which creatures is identified by Dr Pusztai as the ‘canary in the coalmine’ that awakened his own suspicions about the problems of GM potatoes), through honey bees, dying off in their millions to God alone knows what ultimate disastrous natural effect (some sources suggesting that it is the self-same detrimental effect of GM on their digestive tract that is responsibile for this species declne), through to laboratory rats… and potentially humans, too… The travesty of GM, backed by the billions of the greed-driven corporates, is that it CANNOT coexist with the ‘natural option’… Due to Nature itself, GM crops WILL cross-pollinate, unnatural genetics WILL find their way into the natural crops… And as Pusztai implies… even watering down the ‘Frankenstien genetics’ may well NOT reduce their potential for health-impugning impact!

It may take a few generations for the human race to become evidently and widely affected by the impact of GM on the digestive tract… By which time it will be too late to stop the rot! As billions die early from genetically induced digestive, hepatic or as yet un-expected disease — from ‘proliferative growth’ in the intestines or perhaps in the liver, maybe elsewhere — then those that were responsible will all have passed on (hopefully to the place they deserve!)… Leaving our future generations to watch our species decline… and wonder if the issues (which by then will have probably have inflitrated all food crops and animals globally, as they almost have already!) can ever be resolved?

If one was of a ‘conspiratorial bent’ then one might suggest that this is all part of the widely-suspected ‘grand plot’ to reduce the human population by substantial numbers… The problem with such a suggestion, naturally being, that those who perpetrate this crime against Nature, and Humanity, will also have to ‘eat from the same pot’ — so they will be killing their own families too!… But then, perhaps they don’t really care about this, as long as they all make a ‘buck’ today!! When will we stand up to to this type of exploitation?

When will we stop listening to the media clap-trap about positive reasons for meddling with genetics and for pursuing the spurious and dangerous GM agenda? I am guessing — if ever — it will be when it is too late to stop the problem from becoming yet another of the ’sins of the Fathers’ that our children, grand-children and beyond will have to TRY and deal with!

Banning the pursuance of the development and use of ALL GM seed crops and livestock is an immediate requirement. It may already be too late to pull-back from the brink of what is potentially the foundation of an unimaginable natural calamity… But it is past time that more people woke-up and stopped allowing themselves and their families to be pushed around, exploited for gain, and ultimately probably physically harmed by being ‘unknowing’ guinea-pigs… not to mention the harm already visited upon the Earth and innumerable other species — even the laboratory rats!

A Hearty, Healthy, Weight Loss Breakfast

June 18th, 2008 — 12:36 pm

Q: What to eat for breakfast if I need to lose weight?

I am trying to lose weight by eating less and eating better foods. What do you suggest I eat for breakfast in the mornings so that I can drop a few pounds? I’ve got dinner and lunches down, just not breakfast foods yet.

A: Maybe challenging some conventional wisdom but if you want to lose weight and have a healthy positive start to the day:

1) Completely Ignore the spurious clap-trap masquerading as news about eating a big grilled sausage, bacon, egg and tomato breakfast spewed forth from a hideously mis-informed so called ‘nutritionist’ as reported from Sky News (!!!) and in retold Yahoo news today:
Yahoo “News”
This is UTTER UNMITIGATED CLAPTRAP — and totally confusing for anyone who is trying to eat more healthily

2) Recognize what your body needs after 7 to 8 hours of enforced ‘fasting’ (i.e. while asleep) — namely:
a) Hydration
b) The reduction of any acidity (due to the continuance of digestive processes, and the effects of water loss overnight)
c) Nourishment — meaning some quickly transformed, but lasting energy source in the form of more complex carbohydrates

Bear in mind also that ’sugars’ should be avoided as they are both acidifying and burn too quickly…this means avoid using actual sugars (such as on cereals — and IF you do choose to eat cereals use only those with no added sugar — oats for example are a good choice)

This also means avoiding too much sweet fruit as they are simply alternative sugar sources and little better than a candy bar (or so-called ‘breakfast bars’ most of which are simply profit-making sugar sicks that should be shunned a all times).

Ideally you should therefore try to eat food which provide some complex carbs, some mineral nutrients, some water, and some alkalizing effects.

An ideal start to the day would therefore be:
i) A half pint of good quality mineral water (or home distilled water) within a few minutes of waking.
ii) After a refreshing wash (i.e. not too soon after the water)– a good sized plateful of cucumber and tomatoes (and a generous sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley, plus some mild sweet salad onions IF you aren’t going to work in close proximity with clients for a couple of hours! Onions are a good source of flavonoids which are not only anti-cancer but also are known to be anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory), generously dressed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, an seasoned with naturally iodine and mineral rich sea salt, and a little black pepper (or a milder chilli pepper — like pimenton picante; or sweet pimenton dulce — if you like it).

You could alternatively make these same ingredients into a superb ’smoothie’ (some might call it Gazpacho!) along with a couple of small cloves of fresh garlic for its additional anti-viral and blood cleansing properties.

If you still crave some further substance a slice of wholemeal spelt (a lower gluten wheatflour alternative) soda bread (i.e. NO yeast!) which is VERY easy to make at home, or a couple of organic rice cakes, would be OK topped with EV olive oil…or even a smear of butter wouldn’t be out of the question on occasions!

This is a TRULY health start to the day that will support your system in many ways and contribute to your weight loss goals. Ignore all else ;-) Good luck!

How to Lose Fat Effectively…

January 15th, 2008 — 01:24 pm

Some more tips stemming from a Yahoo Answers response:

Here is a diet outline that aims to boost your health BUT is also the best approach for weight loss too (when you add in a bit of extra exercise!):
http://www.gonando.com/boost-immune-system.html

How ‘easy’ it is to lose weight depend to some extent on your metabolism, and also on how ‘toxic’ your body is.

It is now known that much of the fat the body stores is deposited as a way to ‘protect’ the body from toxins…such as chemical toxins from synthetic chemical skin care, and from the processed foods we eat.

Therefore — if you detox you will start to lose weight not only as you clear out a lot of rubbish that can hang around in the system, but also as the health diet regime allows these toxins to be flushed from the system which means that the body does not have to hang on to its ‘fatty protection deposits’.

Feeling the burn! Calories OR Fat?

January 15th, 2008 — 01:17 pm

A quick Yahoo Answer…about a topic that is often misunderstood:

“Does cardio result in burning fat or calories?
i’m confused, help please, thank you!”

Both - a gram of fat has 9 kilo calories (commonly referred to as 9 calories) therefore burn 9 kcal through vigorous exercise and you burn a gram of fat!

In fact ANY type of exercise burns (causes the body to use energy) calories, as calories are a measurement of energy (the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one cc of water by 1degree C)…

Many/most foods contain ‘calorific values’ (that is to say contain potential calories of energy) that is why if you BURN more energy than you consume, you will lose weight. Because, once your food reserves have been burnt, the body draws on it reserves of fat…

Food that is consumed in excess to daily energy requirements is ’stored’ as fat (that is to say other constituents like carbohydrate and even protein are converted to fat for storage if not used) around the body, because it is a more ‘concentrated form’ of calorie storage. These resources can then be drawn on in times of need.

Sadly in Western developed countries we hardly ever experience a time of ‘real need’ unless we enforce it on ourselves…therefore we just keep getting FATTER!!

B.T.W.: The point of ‘cardio’ is that it means that your heart rate is up, meaning that it is working your heart muscles, hence good for your heart health.
