 Scary Stuff

 

In our daily efforts to stay up to speed on the many  holistic "alternative" products in the world today, we sometimes stumble across information that is downright scary to us.  In our daily lives, we find ourselves sharing many of these snippets of information with our friends and family, only to quickly realize that they have no idea what is going on in our country, right under our noses.  We just thought we might share a few bits of information with those who ARE interested in what is happening to us here in the land of the free.

We will soon be organizing and presenting a list of "Action Sites" to help us all better understand what is happening to our RIGHTS, our environment, and our health... and how we can all make our voices heard.

Please feel free to send us any news bytes or bits of information you feel the public should be aware of, and by all means, feel free to refute or correct us if you feel we have posted inaccurate information.


Our favorite "Action Site" is seen here below, and is brought to by the Natural Solutions Foundation.

U.S. Senate Bill Broadly Eliminates Liability For Vaccines And Drugs!   " ...The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is calling the "Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 "a drug company stockholder's dream and a consumer's worst nightmare." The legislation will strip Americans of the right to a trial by jury if harmed by an experimental or licensed drug or vaccine that they are forced by government to take...
.
....will operate in secret, exempt from the Freedom of Information Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, insuring that no evidence of injuries or deaths caused by drugs and vaccines labeled as "countermeasures" will become public"...    More on vaccines

FDA Urges Consumption of Fish, Despite Mercury Contamination    The FDA is urging the government to amend its advisory that women and children should limit how much fish they eat, saying that the benefits of seafood outweigh the health risks and that most people should eat more fish, even if it contains mercury. ...the FDA's recommendations have alarmed scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency...    See more

How much mercury is too much?  GotMercury.org can help you answer that with their mercury calculator. Example: if a woman weighing 145 pounds ate 12 ounces (about 2 fillets) of yellowfin tuna per week, her mercury intake would be 240% over the current EPA “safe” limit!


In 2008, pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) submitted a Citizen Petition calling for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reclassify all weight loss support claims for dietary supplements as disease claims.

If the FDA were to agree with this petition, American consumers would be cheated out of hundreds of legally and responsibly marketed dietary supplements.  Click Here to Tell the FDA to Reject GSK's Petition


Congressional Oversight Needed to STOP FDA's  "Trilateral Cooperation Charter"   The FDA is in clear violation of the Administrative Procedures Act and of the Federal Advisory Committees Act. This is part of a bold effort to force us into a planned North American Union patterned after the EU.  It's part of an effort to repeal the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act in order to bar consumer access to vitamins and minerals within the therapeutic range. This is part of an effort to force UN CODEX dictates on the American people.   Sign the petition to stop them here:


2004 - "Merck kills at least 55,000"   FDA admits pharmaceutical drug giant Merck kills at least 55,000 people with their deadly drug Vioxx.

Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been tested for negative health effects!


45,000,000 Americans have no health insurance.


The EPA reports that the average American consumes 4 pounds of pesticides each year and has residues from over 400 toxic substances in his body. More than 3,000 chemical additives are found in the food we eat.

Approximately 10 million prescriptions are written for the 5 to 6 million children under age 5 suffering from ear infections each year. Studies have shown that antibiotics do very little for a child’s ear infection, while common painkillers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen work just as well as prescribed antibiotics.


In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals found in the group. Like most of us, the people tested do not work with chemicals on the job and do not live near an industrial facility...

... Scientists refer to this contamination as a person’s body burden.  Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development. The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in COMBINATION has never been studied!


The Federal Environmental Protection Agency  has found that airborne chemical levels in homes were as much as 70% higher than outside.
