Food giants fight proposed nutrition guidelines: http://t.co/G5CLgE5 via @pearltrees || All they care about is money, not their customers' health. No wonder our health care is so expensive. Oh, and we don't need all that colorful packaging and advertising. We know what's out there and don't need you to tell us what crap to purchase. We're just not smart enough not to buy it.

Listening to "Vitamin Shelf"
on http://www.kestradio.com/. Great show about the truth concerning suppelments and vitamins. Name one drug that makes you healthy. The FDA does not have our health in mind. They are in bed with the pharmaceutical "industry". Remember that you must take responsibility for your own health.

Most professional medical journals refuse to publish alternative medicine study results. Why?
In collusion with the FDA*, the pharmaceuticals and doctors say no. They would lose masses of money if the truth came out. The truth would revolutionize our health and medical systems.** Are they really interested in our health or in their own wallet? Remember, your health is in your hands. Educate yourself and become healthier. *FDA Fraud and Disinformation Agency **Note, our "health" and "medical" organizations are not the same thing. One protects our health. The other makes money.

Click accept below to continue...In a nutshell.... The government (FDA, FCC, etc.) enforces certain orthodoxy when it comes to matters of health. You may not realize this, but a drug is defined as ANY SUBSTANCE that is used to diagnose, treat, mitigate, or prevent a disease. In other words, anything that effects health, magically becomes a "drug" and only doctors are allowed to legally prescribe or recommend "drugs" so anyone who talks about health who believes that Health Is Not Pharmaceutical runs a risk of offending the laws of the medical orthodoxy.
Free Speech permits me to voice my opinions, but this gets tricky in a commercial arena. I can say, "Prunes can relieve constipation". But if I have a store or website that sells prunes, then my statement has positioned the Prunes as a "drug". Prunes are not approved as a drug for constipation and now I have "crossed the line". I know this sounds silly but this is the way that the medical industry attempts to silence their critics under the guise of fighting "quackery".

"Just Say No to Drugs" and our "War On Drugs" - good but misdirected policies.
Nancy Reagan was right. President Nixon was correct in beginning his "War On Drugs". Unfortunately they were focusing on the wrong drugs. The real health problem in this country is the use of overly promoted drugs legally prescribed by Western doctors. The influence of the giant pharmaceutical companies on our medical system is a crime and must be stopped AND punished. The pharmaceutical industry kills more Americans every year than terrorists. So what happened to our "War On Drugs"? The small percentage of politicians and doctors who know the truth are afraid to confront the powerful pharmaceuticals. They would lose all that money the drug companies throw around. The remaining doctors and politicos have no idea of the truth about the drug companies and are just greedy. Politicians and pharmaceuticals make up an enormously strong alliance that must be confronted now. That begs the question, who is left to fight the "War On Drugs"? Only the individual. Become informed about your health. Become involved in your health. Find out what the true "side effects" of all the drugs you are taking. (A doctor once said "There are no side effects, only effects.") Find alternatives to the drugs you are consuming. Change you diet, change your life style and exercise. You CAN reduce your drug intake. Educate your representatives in Congress. Ask them how much money they receive from drug companies. What is the FDA and other governmental bodies doing to protect your health? It has been said, in the end, it is your responsibility to protect your health. Who do you trust with your life?

Ethanol is killing our environment and economy. Stop ethanol production now. There are better alternatives.
We must end most farm subsidies now. They are ruining our economy and our health. Monoculture farms and giant commercial farms are a bain to the environment. A waste of fossil fuels. On and on and on...

Riki Ott: At What Cost? BP Spill Responders Told to Forgo Precautionary Health Measures in Cleanup
Venice, Louisiana -- Local fishermen hired to work on BP's uncontrolled oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are scared and confused. Fishermen here and in other small communities dotting the southern marshes and swamplands of Barataria Bay are getting sick from the working on the cleanup, yet BP is assuring them they don't need respirators or other special protection from the crude oil, strong hydrocarbon vapors, or chemical dispersants being sprayed in massive quantities on the oil slick.
Fishermen have never seen the results from the air-quality monitoring patches some of them wear on their rain gear when they are out booming and skimming the giant oil slick. However, more and more fishermen are suffering from bad headaches, burning eyes, persistent coughs, sore throats, stuffy sinuses, nausea, and dizziness. They are starting to suspect that BP is not telling them the truth.
And based on air monitoring conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a Louisiana coastal community, those workers seem to be correct. The EPA findings show that airborne levels of toxic chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds like benzene, for instance, now far exceed safety standards for human exposure.
For two weeks, I've been in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama sharing stories from the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which devastated the community I lived and commercially fished in, with everyone from fishermen and women to local mayors to state governors and the crush of international media.
During the 1989 cleanup in Alaska, thousands of workers had what Exxon medical doctors called, "the Valdez Crud," and dismissed as simple colds and flu. Fourteen years later, I followed the trail of sick workers through the maze of court records, congressional records, obituaries, and media stories, and made hundreds of phone calls. I found a different story. As one former cleanup worker put it, "I thought I had the Valdez Crud in 1989. I didn't think I'd have it for fourteen years."
In 1989 Exxon knew cleanup workers were getting sick: Exxon's clinical data shows 6,722 cases of upper respiratory "infections"--or more likely work-related chemical induced illnesses. Exxon also knew workers were being overexposed to oil vapors and oil particles as verified through its air-quality monitoring program contracted to Med-Tox. The cleanup workers never saw results of this program. Neither did OSHA, the agency supposedly charged to oversee and independently monitor Exxon's worker-safety program.
Alarmed by the "chemical poisoning epidemic," as expert witness Dr. Daniel Teitelbaum would later call it when he testified on behalf of sick workers, Exxon created a partial release form to indemnify itself from future health claims. Exxon paid its workers $600.50 to sign it, as I discovered in court records.
Sick workers were left to fend for themselves. Merle Savage was a foreman on the Bering Trader during the cleanup and supervised 180 workers. She described a persistent headache and "bronchitis" symptoms in 1989 that "wouldn't go away." Her medical doctors didn't connect her symptoms to her hazardous waste cleanup work. She is now completely disabled.
Richard Nagel, a master captain, supervised the workers who sprayed the dispersant Inipol. Exxon called Inipol, a "bioremediation" agent, but the Material Safety Data Sheet listed the solvent and human health hazard, 2-butoxyethanol. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency knows the Product Schedule is rife with abuse and products are used interchangeably - and that "misuses may cause further harm to the environment than the oil alone," but the charade continues. Nagel outlived most of his crew on the Pegasus. He was fifty-three when he died in 2009 of complications from systemic illnesses that his medical doctors never connected to his cleanup work.Unlike the Exxon Valdez tragedy, in more recent oil spills human-health studies were conducted by independent qualified personnel. After the 2002 Prestige oil spill, medical researchers reported that fishermen and residents of Galacia, Spain, suffered identical symptoms to Exxon Valdez and now BP Gulf responders when cleaning up off their coast - or just from breathing air laced with oil vapors, driven by hurricane force winds. Similarly, after the 2007 Hebei Spirit oil spill off the coast of Taean, South Korea, medical researchers documented respiratory damage, central nervous system damage, and even genetic damage in volunteers and fishermen who worked on the cleanup.
There is no excuse for sick people. BP and the federal agencies charged with worker safety know that the risks of working on a hazardous waste cleanup are extraordinarily high and that it will take a concerted effort to keep workers safe and healthy. Further, it will take an equally extraordinary effort by BP and the federal government to protect public health in coastal communities downwind or downstream from the toxic stew in the Gulf.
Yet I don't see either BP or the federal government taking sufficient--or any--action to prevent human tragedy in the form of acute and likely long-term illnesses from its uncontrolled leak.
Years after the Exxon Valdez human-health tragedy, Eula Bingham, who was assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health in the Carter Administration, said of the federal OSHA inaction, "Quite frankly, they should have been more aggressive, but the government just folded."
I am in Louisiana as a volunteer to help make sure that, this time, the no one just folds. We need independent medical researchers to monitor health impacts. We need the Obama Administration to take aggressive steps to protect public health and worker safety and stop this unfolding tragedy before it gets worse.
BP's cost is going to be astronomical if they are going to have to pay for all the health problems related to cleanup on top of everything else. But when your profits are in the billions each quarter, what is money. Right?
