Roundup Ready Sugar Beet - What is next
This article hit my desk today and being a keen gardener, but amateur, I know what the effect on my plants that roundup or Glyphosphate has on them. To think that they are now genetically modifying sugar beet to be resistant to this chemical horrifies me. I remember talking to a lady quite recently who ended up in hospital from Glyphosphate poisoning from just spraying the paths in her farm. has anyone analysed the harvested sugar been for traces of glyphosphate or its derivatives - i guess not. My prediction is that these beet will contain high levels of this dangerous chemical - but thats OK because the governments and chemical companies say it is safe. Yeah right. Anyway make up your own mind.

I saw this article and couldn’t help echoing its sentiments.
by Barbara L. Minton (see all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) Do you ever get the feeling that your doctor doesn’t know what he’s doing? Well, you are probably right. There is little or no evidence that today’s $2 trillion-dollar medical system works any better than various other alternatives. Whether you have diabetes, heart trouble, back pain or cancer, this judgment applies. If you are contemplating surgery, you should know that the orthodox disease establishment doctors have little clue about the success rates for the procedures they endorse.
Dr. David Eddy, a consultant for healthcare giant Kaiser Permanente and leader in the development of clinical evidenced based guidelines admits that the medical profession does not know what its doing, according to an article published by Alan Stang. Even today, with a high-tech health-care system that costs the nation so much money, there is little or no evidence that many widely used treatments and procedures actually work.
Eighty-five percent of what doctors do is not backed by hard evidence, which presumably means that only fifteen percent is. “Doctors dangerously over treat patients, because they get paid to treat; they don’t get paid not to treat,” claims Stang.
A hundred and fifty years ago, Ignaz Semmelweis claimed that his fellow physicians were killing women delivering babies in Vienna’s hospitals. Women were so terrified of hospitals that they considered a hospital stay the same as a death sentence. Their families had to bring them there by force because the women would try to escape. Semmelweis suspected that the reason for the deaths was that doctors were going from surgery to surgery without washing their hands. When he demanded that they scrub and sterilize their hands, the death rate dropped dramatically.
Although you would suspect that modern practitioners certainly wash their hands between patients, especially between surgeries, you would be wrong. Eighty percent of hospital infections happen today because doctors don’t wash their hands, resulting in deaths of thousands of people and costs of over a billion dollars a year. For instance, more than one-quarter of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s doctors don’t wash, because proper washing takes time and costs them money they would otherwise be making, according to an article in Business Week that interviewed some of the nation’s leading doctors.
According to these doctors, some of their colleagues are killing and robbing thousands of Americans a year. And these unindicted felons are the same critics calling for the power of the government to raid health food stores and throw so-called “alternative” practitioners into jail. These are also the same moral miscreants who use government propaganda to warn disease victims to reject any other treatment and therapy except theirs. They are the ones in collusion with the pharmaceutical companies who are trying to ban nutritional supplements with Codex Alimentarius. They point with their unwashed hands at anyone who dares to contradict them.
Stang recalls the story of Abraham Cherrix who had Hodgkin’s disease. The doctors told him to take chemotherapy so he did. It failed and the cancer returned. The chemo had left Abraham so weak that he couldn’t walk. He didn’t want to do it again, wanting instead to try “alternative” treatments to restore his immune system. Doctors used the courts to force him to again take the same chemotherapy that had failed him and left him so weak.
Abraham’s dad asked the social worker, “What will you do with my little boy? Will you take him somewhere and strap him down and put duct tape on his mouth and pump him full of this stuff if he doesn’t want it?” The social worker replied, “No, I will come to your house with a uniformed officer, and I will take your son by force if he resists. And I will take him to somebody else who will do that.” As the result of the huge public outrage over this case, Abraham finally won and was returned to his parent’s custody.
How could this have happened? The disease establishment is willing to do anything to protect and maintain its multi-billion dollar control of the people. Establishment medicine as practiced in the U.S. is monopoly medicine. Any threat to that monopoly is taken seriously. The four big players in monopoly medicine are the government, the AMA (American Medical Association), the drug companies, and the medical schools.
No matter how beneficial prevention modalities and alternative treatment modalities are to the people, they must be concealed, controlled, and done away with. There is a kind of psychic disconnect practiced by the establishment mentalities that want to do away with the means to prevent and treat conditions that may eventually threaten their own lives.
As the drug companies and politicians try to line us up for forced vaccinations and treatments, it’s good to remember that forced medical treatment was one of the main principles of Nazism. The Holocaust did not begin with the extermination of Jewish people. It ended with them.
The Holocaust began with the doctors when Hitler was still in jail during the Weimar Republic established after World War I. The Allies had promised Germany there would not be a punitive peace. Of course they lied and ended up imposing a ruinous war debt at the Versailles Conference. When Germany could not pay, the doctors decided to do their patriotic duty by eliminating “useless eaters”. They began with handicapped children and worked their way to criminals and beyond. Since doctors were running the program, the public swallowed it as just being “humane”. Only years later was this program known as the Holocaust, which many people today wrongly believe only exterminated the Jewish.
The fact that Business Week was able to publish much of this information in their cover story suggests that the disease establishment may be losing some of its control. But like many large beasts, monopoly medicine is probably more dangerous in its death throws.

I see TV adverts and magazine articles promoting beauty products and in particular skin care solutions to the masses but I know from my own research that the constituents in these products in fact harm the skin especially when exposed to the sun. They actually accelerate the ageing of skin - so by using these mass market products women are actually harming their health and in the case of the youngsters who have yet to become mums the prospects of having normal healthy children (more of that in a later posting).
So my thread today is all about preservatives and parabens in particular in make-up and beauty products. The age old premise that ‘if you can’t say the name of something in a product’ then you shouldn’t eat it now applies to don’t put it on your skin.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, accounting for nearly one of every three cancers diagnosed in
So what does the new study actually tell us? Up to now it was known that parabens could be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract or the blood, metabolized, and eventually excreted in the urine. But now the presence of intact parabens in tumour tissue shows that these chemicals can not only be absorbed through the skin but can also persist and accumulate in breast cancer tissue in their original form, without being degraded. (When parabens are eaten they are degraded and lose some of their constituents, making them less oestrogen-like). This is new information. We do not yet know how long they can persist and what effects they might have. Because controls with normal breast tissue were not done, we also don’t know if comparable levels of parabens would be found in normal tissue. Plus, the study did not identify the route by which the parabens entered the body. The chemical form of the parabens found suggests that the source was probably underarm cosmetics, though this needs to be confirmed. (This article does not say anything about the use of deodorants/antiperspirants by the women in the study.) Despite these limitations, this study represents an important first step.
Knowing that parabens can be absorbed through the skin and retained in breast tissue is necessary in order to investigate the causes and possible mechanisms of its action. The authors of this study write in their paper: “This adds parabens to the list of environmental estrogenic chemicals that can be found to accumulate in the human breast and already includes polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs).” This also raises the issue of possible interactions between all these chemicals and the influence that might have on their toxicity.

Hi I’m a great devotee of the Low GI diet and have been for years - it is one of our threads in our quest to stay healthy. I was surprised when i read that a Low GI diet not only helps keep weight in the normal range but may also aid hair restoration. But once again when i read about what sucrose does to the body in my last post i realised that it also affects the hormonal system - hence the link with hair loss. Want to keep your hair - go Low GI, want to get pregnant - go Low GI, want to lose weight - go low GI. In fact if you want to live long and prosper - go Low GI

Trehalose - the safe sugarHow can I prevent hair loss?
Thinning hair isn’t just a problem for men—like many women, Kristin is experiencing hair loss. “I want to know how to slow it down, how to prevent it, and what are my options to try to get the thickness back,” she says.
Dr. Northrup says that Kristin’s thinning hair may be a result of a hormonal imbalance. “You can get it back by eating a low-glycemic diet, making sure that you are on supplements,” she says.
According to Dr. Northrup, glycemic foods can cause dramatic changes in the body. “One of the things that often happens in mid-life to people is if they have a lot of stress hormones in their system and they’re eating a high-glycemic diet, and the high insulin is in their blood from the high sugar … that actually changes the way hormones are metabolized. So you actually begin to shoot your estrogen and progesterone into androgen-like substances that produce male pattern baldness in women. Have you seen this—where [women] start to get a beard and they get thinning of the hair at the temples and so on?”
Other than a low-glycemic diet, Dr. Northrup has one other recommendation for thinning hair. “Acupuncture can be very, very helpful for it,” she says.

Trehalose - the safe sugarAnnouncement - water based skincare
At long last i have found a true water based skin care system suitable for all skin types but importantly one that does not have Parabens or chemical preservatives in it. Parabens are chemicals required by many products to prolong shelf life. Sadly they also damage the very skin we are trying to protect.
There will be much more on this subject over the coming days.

Now Doctors Say Its Good to be Overweight
By David Usborne, The Independent
November 13, 2007
A startling new study by medical researchers in the
The study, published yesterday in the respected Journal of the American Medical Association, runs counter to almost all other advice to consumers by saying that carrying a little extra flab — though not too much — might help people to live longer.
Struggling dieters, used to being told that staying thin is the best prescription for longevity, are likely to be confused this morning if not heartily relieved. While being a bit overweight may indeed increase your chances of dying from diabetes and kidney disease — conditions that are often linked with one another — the same is not true for a host of other ailments including cancer and heart disease, the report suggests.
In fact, scanning the whole gamut of diseases that could curtail your life, being over weight is, on balance, a good thing. The bottom line, the scientists say, is that modestly overweight people demonstrate a lower death rate than their peers who are underweight, obese or — most surprisingly — normal weight.
The findings will be hard to dismiss. They are the result of analysis of decades of data by federal researchers at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in
Being overweight, the report asserts in its conclusions, “was associated with significantly decreased all-cause mortality overall”.
“The take-home message is that the relationship between fat and mortality is more complicated than we tend to think,” said Katherine Flegal, the lead researcher. “It’s not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all situation where excess weight just increases your mortality risk for any and all causes of death.”
That the CDC has even published the report and thus threatened to muffle years of propaganda as to the health benefits of staying slender has enraged some medical experts.
“It’s just rubbish,” fumed Walter Willett, the professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. “It’s just ludicrous to say there is no increased risk of mortality from being overweight.”
Not that the CDC results are an invitation to throw caution to the winds and take cream with everything. The scientists are careful to stress that the benefits they are describing are limited to those people who are merely overweight — which generally means being no more than 30 pounds heavier than is recommended for your height — and certainly do not carry over to those who fall into the category of obese.
Obesity has been declared one of the main threats to health in the
The scientists at the CDC first hinted at the upside of being overweight a few years ago. Since then, however, they have expanded the base of their analysis, with data that includes mortality figures from 2004, the last year for which numbers were available, for no fewer than 2.3 million American adults.
Highlighting how a bit of bulge might help you, the scientists said that in 2004 there were 100,000 fewer deaths among the overweight in the
Aside from escaping diseases, tipping the scales a little further may also help people recover from serious surgery, injuries and infections, Dr Flegal suggested. Such patients may simply have deeper bodily reserves to draw on in times of medical crisis.
Not everyone in the medical profession was surprised or angry about the study. “What this tells us is the hazards have been very much exaggerated,” said Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science and biostatistics at the
“I believe the data,” added Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, a professor of family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego, who believes that a BMI of 25 to 30 — roughly the the so-called overweight range — “may be optimal”.
Critics, however, were quick to point out that the study was concerned with mortality data only and did not take account of the quality of life benefits of keeping your weight down. The study “is not about health and sickness”, noted the obesity researcher Barry Popkin of the
The report “definitely won’t be the last word”, said Dr Michael Thun of the American Cancer Society, who pointed out, in a report released last week by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research, that staying slim was the main recommendation for avoiding cancer.
Others in the American medical community, while a little bemused, were withholding judgement. “This is a very puzzling disconnect,” said Dr JoAnn Manson, the chief of preventive medicine at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
The suggestion that a bit of extra weight may assist patients recovering from an infection or surgery was of no surprise to Dr Flegal. “You may also have more lean mass — more bone and muscle,” she said. “If you are in an adverse situation, that could be good for you.”
In their conclusions, the authors of the study note: “Overweight … may be associated with improved survival during recovery from adverse conditions, such as infections or medical procedures, and with improved prognosis for some diseases. Such findings may be due to greater nutritional reserves or higher lean body mass associated with overweight.”
Those of us mostly likely to benefit from a little bulge beneath the belt, the study adds, are between 25 and 59 years old, although there were also some advantages for people over 60.
BBC - Cancer studies ‘wasted millions’
I saw this report and though it of such significance that i can’t be glossed over. If this is happening in one area what is to say that it is not happening else where. The conspiracy of silence is deafening - well done BBC. But what is thier motive for exposing this?
Makes you think.

Cancer studies ‘wasted millions’
Millions of pounds of charity donations and taxpayers’ money have been wasted on worthless cancer studies, the BBC has learned.
File On 4 has discovered thousands of studies have been invalidated.
It found some scientists have failed to carry out simple and inexpensive checks to ensure they are working with the right forms of human tumour cells.
Cancer Research
One of the latest examples of scientific research to be affected by this problem is a study of oesophageal cancer.
Researcher Dr Chris Tselepis worked with an international team which has found that TE7, an experimental culture of cancer cells used in labs for the past 20 years, was the wrong cancer.
Whole programmes of research had to be redone using verified human brain tumour cells
Prof Geoff Pilkington,“Fortunately, for us our research was based on a number of cell types, so the impact of a mistaken identity for this line has actually been fairly minimal to us,” said Dr Tselepis who is studying the cancer at the Cancer Research
“But I’m sure there’s many other laboratories UK and worldwide-based that essentially base lots of their conclusions on one cell line and in that case, this mistaken identity has a massive impact on conclusions that people draw from such studies,” he added.
Few scientists publicly admit such problems but Prof Geoff Pilkington, of the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC that he had to discard research into brain tumours after it emerged his team were studying human cells contaminated by the cells of rats and mice.
“Whole programmes of research had to be redone using verified human brain tumour cells,” he said.
“It’s hugely expensive and it’s incredibly frustrating,” Prof Pilkington added.
Erroneous data
The problem is compounded by the fact that studies based on erroneous research data will be printed in reputable scientific journals and become part of the accepted literature, thus misleading future researchers.
Earlier this year 19 eminent cancer specialists from the
The
But the letter’s originator, Prof Roland Nardone of the Catholic University of America, told the BBC that some scientists seemed unwilling to act.
Authenticated cell-lines
He said the best way to get scientists to comply would be to withhold research grants and publication in scientific journals unless their research used authenticated cell-lines.
This verification can be achieved using a technique of DNA profiling which compares the cell-line with a list of known contaminants and can cost as little as £180 per sample.
But the Medical Research Council, the major source of public funds for such research in the
Dr Rob Buckle of the MRC told the BBC: “As soon as you start talking about regulation we have to ensure that it is proportionate and does not inhibit research.”
Dr Buckle said the MRC was not aware of any particular study in the
However, one of the

“If one of the leading journals, which all of us want to publish in, said: ‘You have used cell-line - just give us the certificate of authenticity,’ Now we can tell all that and it doesn’t necessarily cost a lot of money.”
Cancer Research
Instead it issued a statement from Dr Lilian Clark, its executive director of Science Operations & Funding, which said: “It is of paramount importance for us to ensure that all our researchers deliver world class science - they have the latest systems and robust procedures in place to guarantee this.”
Dr Clark said the charity carried out stringent checks on cell-lines, including a DNA authenticating service.

I’ve recommended Apricot Kernels and other things as a source of B17 - wrongly called B17 as far as i can figure but that might be changing. Here is a great summary - if a little technical about B17 and what it does. We have seen some fascinating results with Sickle Cell Disease and B1, Apricot Kernels, Millet, and even Apricot Kernel Oil (cold pressed).
Apricot Kernels (B17 – called Vitamin B17 in error)
Apricot Kernels are the richest source of B17 (Laetrile). Ernst Krebs is the world’s leading authority on the relationship between cancer and nitrilosides, and the inventor of laetrile.

- Charles Gurchot’s explanation of How Vitamin B17 Works
Apricot kernels are known to prevent and cure cancer, even though the medical establishment has worked night and day and even lied to suppress it. B17 is found in most all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, nectarine and apricot. It is found in some beans and many grasses such as wheat grass. The hard wooden pit in the middle of the peach is not supposed to be thrown away. In fact, the wooden shell is strong armor protecting one of the most important foods known to man, the seed. It is one of the main courses of food in cultures such as the Navajo Indians, the Hunzas the Abkhasians and many more. Did you know that within these tribes there has never been a reported case of cancer. (And there are doctors and scientists from the
One of the most common nitrilosides is amygdalin. This nitriloside occurs in the kernels of seeds of practically all fruits. The seeds of apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, and the like carry this factor; often in the extraordinary concentration of 2 to 3 per cent. Since the seeds of fruits are possibly edible, it may be proper to designate the non-toxic water soluble accessory food factor or nitriloside that they contain as vitamin B-17. The presence of nitriloside in the diet produces specific physiologic effects and leaves as metabolites specific chemical compounds of a physiologically active nature. The production by a non-toxic, water-soluble accessory food factor of specific physiological effects as well as identifiable metabolites suggests the vitamin nature of the compound.
In metabolism, nitriloside is hydrolyzed to free hydrogen cyanide, benzaldehyde or acetone and sugar. This occurs largely through the enzyme Beta-glucosidase produced by intestinal bacteria as well as by the body. The released HCN [hydrocyanide] is detoxified by the enzyme rhodanese to the relatively non-toxic thiocyanate molecule. The sugar is normally metabolized. The released benzaldehyde in the presence of oxygen is immediately oxidized to benzoic acid which is non-toxic. Thus this newly designated vitamin B-17 (nitriloside) could account for:
- The thiocyanates in the body fluids–blood, urine, saliva, sweat, and tears;
- For part of the benzoic acid (and subsequently hippuric acid); salicylic acid isomers;
- For the HCN that goes to the production of cyanocobalamin from hydrocobalamin, or production of vitamin B12 from provitamin B12.
These are the physiological properties of the common nitriloside amygdalin. Before considering the possible antineoplastic activity of this vitamin B-17, let us recall that the benzoic acid arising from it has certain antirheumatic and antiseptic properties. It was rather widely used (in
Recall now, that thiocyanate also was once widely used, in both
Let us pause to reflect upon this question: Might not the rheumatic diseases as well as certain aspects of hypertension be in some cases partially related to a dietary deficiency in nitrilosides? One can hardly deny that the ingestion of a sufficient quantity of nitriloside-containing foods will metabolically yield sufficient benzoic acid and/or salicylic acid isomers to palliate rheumatic disease and certainly to decrease, however temporarily, hypertension as well as to foster the nitrilosation of provitamin B-12 to active vitamin B-12: cyanocobalamin.
Despite all this, are we justified in suggesting that cancer itself might be another chronic metabolic disease that arises from a specific vitamin deficiency–a deficiency specifically in B-17 (nitriloside)?
There are many chronic or metabolic diseases that challenge medicine. Many of these diseases have already been conquered. What proved to be their solution? By solution we mean both prevention and cure. What really cures really prevents. Let us think of some of these diseases that have found total prevention and hence cure. We are speaking of metabolic or non-transmissible diseases. At one time the metabolic disease known as scurvy killed hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes entire populations. This disease found total prevention and cure in the ascorbic acid or vitamin C component of fruits and vegetables. Similarly, the once fatal diseases so aptly called pernicious anaemia, pellagra, beri beri, countless neuropathies, and the like, found complete cure and prevention in specific dietary factors, that is, essential nutrients in an adequate diet.
Let’s go a step further, almost to the border of dogmatism, to advance an axiom in medicine and biology:
No chronic or metabolic disease has ever found cure or prevention, that is, real cure and real prevention–except through factors essential to an adequate diet and/or normal to animal economy.
I would welcome a contradiction to this principle; but even an exception would “prove the rule.”
Does it seem likely, therefore, that cancer will be the first exception to this generalization that to date has not had a single known exception? In my humble opinion, certainly not. But does it follow from this that B-17 (nitriloside) is the specific antineoplastic compound? Logically, by itself, alone, this conclusion that nitriloside is the specific antineoplastic compound does not follow. However, examine the brilliant laboratory studies of Dr. Dean Burk of the Department of Cytochemistry of the National Cancer Institute in
One might ask, then, whether we suggest that B-17 (nitriloside) or Laetrile is an effective cancer drug. Our reply must be: it is not a drug; it is a food.
