CHEMICAL AWARENESS ARTICLES

Dr. Tish forwarded the following articles she received through email, to share with you. 

Epic New Research: GM Crops and Roundup Cause Tumors, Organ Damage and Early Death!
If the scientific and political world reacts appropriately to this shocking research, GMOs will be re-examined and then removed.

Please share this groundbreaking and epic study widely.

CRIIGEN Study Links GM Maize and Roundup to Premature Death and Cancer
http://sustainablepulse.com/2012/09/19/criigen-study-links-gm-maize-roundup-premature-death-cancer/

In a study published in “Food and Chemical Toxicology”, researchers led by Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini from CRIIGEN have found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 Roundup tolerant GM maize or given water containing Roundup, at levels permitted in drinking water and GM crops in the US, developed cancers faster and died earlier than rats fed on a standard diet. They suffered breast cancer and severe liver and kidney damage.

Tell the USDA: Say NO to Monsanto's GMO corn

Monsanto has claimed for years that its GMO corn reduced the need to apply toxic pesticides to crops, like the company's own product Roundup (the brand name of the toxic pesticide glyphosate which is believed to cause birth defects in laboratory animals).¹

Yet the sale of "Roundup Ready" GMO crops immediately increased the use of the dangerous pesticide glyphosate. And as glyphosate use skyrockets, farmers are reporting outbreaks of superweeds that can be killed with larger doses of this hazardous chemical every year. It's a vicious cycle.

Now Monsanto has applied for USDA approval to let yet another Roundup Ready corn variety escape regulation under rules against plant pests, in spite of evidence that some of these superweeds are the product of transgenic crossbreeding with Roundup Ready GMO crops.² The USDA is now accepting public comments.

Tell the USDA to start saying no to GMO crops that breed superweeds and increase hazardous pesticide use.

Monsanto can't control genetic drift from its genetically engineered crops, and farmers' continued use of Roundup gives a potential survival advantage to weed populations that absorb Roundup Ready transgenes.

What's Monsanto's solution? Buy more Roundup from Monsanto. Buy more Roundup Ready crops from Monsanto. Spray more Roundup into our environment and, when it doesn't work, do it all over again. Enough.

Tell the USDA to stop superweeds and the pesticide brew at the source by rejecting GMO corn and conducting a full environmental review.

Thank you for standing up to Monsanto.

FROM:

Big news!Last week, Johnson & Johnson - makers of brands like Neutrogena, Aveeno, Clean & Clear, RoC and Lubriderm - announced its plan to reformulate its products to phase out dangerous chemicals like triclosan and formaldehyde-releasers.

Johnson & Johnson is the first major personal care products manufacturer to take such an important action in favor of its customers' safety.

According toThe Associated Press, "Research by the Environmental Working Group found most cosmetics and personal care products - other than from small companies in the fast-growing natural products niche - contain dangerous chemicals."

Our research - and our work with the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics - helped push Johnson & Johnson to produce safer products. This is a major victory for Americans' health and safety.

SHARING EXPERIENCES:

Remember that eating our food intolerances can have a dramatic effect on our moods as well as other symptoms we discuss, ad infinitum. .

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR VACCINES?
By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health

First…October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  A reminder to you, we have informative and interesting articles at SOH that discuss natural options for prevention.  If you are logged in, you may click on the following links and go directly to the articles:

October 2008 BREAST THERMOGRAPHY by Dr. Letitia Dick, ND

October 2009 OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH By Dr. Letitia Dick, N.D.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR VACCINES

While schools require that children be immunized, save special exceptions such as religious or moral preferences, many of us challenge the concept of vaccination as being highly risky; in fact, we’re not willing to chance the potential adverse effects. 

Conventional medical experts will tell you that vaccinations are generally safe and that there are no other choices well suited for your children’s protection – or, for that matter, yourself.  Are they right?  Not according to the doctors of Naturopathy, who have successfully applied alternative preventative methods for ages. 

In homeopathy, two classes of medicines are applied for prevention:  One class includes those substances obtained from plants, minerals, and animal products.  The second class is called nosodes.¹ 

Dr. Dick explains that “homeopathic immunization is using Nosode remedies to provoke immune response.  Nosodes are remedies made FROM measles, mumps, etc.” 

Nosodes may be derived from respiratory discharges, diseased tissue, or other matter from a sick animal (in veterinary medicine) or human.  This may sound yucky; yet the preparation of nosodes using alcohol and repeated dilution and succession, “essentially renders the substances harmless, while producing a powerful remedy.” ¹  They may be applied for either short-term protection, as in an epidemic crisis, and as long-term prevention.

Nosodes correspond to the specific diseases associated with the individual bacteria or virus.  Examples of the effectiveness of nosodes include “Lathyrus sativa (a plant) for polio and Pertussin (a preparation of the bacteria Bordetella pertussis) for whooping cough.”¹ 

Consider what’s been taking place in the vaccine world.  As the masses are vaccinated for specific influenzas, for example, new flu viruses arise that are even stronger than their predecessors, and for which there is not yet a vaccine until their epidemic tornado has already wreaked havoc.  In the meantime, the individual’s immune system actually begins to lose strength as the vaccine antibodies do the dirty protection work instead.  After all, if something else is working for our immune system, why should it work so hard to produce antibodies that already appear to be there?  The evolving result is compromised ability to fight off increasingly stronger bugs. 

Remember that use of nosodes are a PREVENTATIVE method

that is generally administered to an individual who is not already exhibiting symptoms.  As with any medication, they should always be administered and monitored by your Naturopath; and, we recommend that you discuss your options first with her/him prior to making any decisions. 

It is good to know that we do have safe options for protecting our family and ourselves.

To all my relations, Sandra

*About this month’s picture: 

From the artist:  The Painting "Feminine Wine" was inspired by a long process of searching for a design that would capture a vision in the mind of a close friend who was looking for a painting for her room and website. This wasn't the design that was chosen, but I was also very pleased with it so I decided to paint it for my own enjoyment. I have spent many years designing and painting custom artwork for people and take great joy in creating pieces that fit the person.

FOOD RESOURCE LIST UPDATES

THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST ON THE WEBSITE IS AVAILABLE IN PRINTABLE VERSION. JUST GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AND CLICK ON "SOH RESOURCE LIST PART 1 OR PART 2" FOR THE VERSION IN .PDF FORM.

Use the codes below to translate the Results Column.

HOW TO READ THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST AND USE THE KEY:

 As items are submitted and analyzed by our staff doctors, they are then added to the Food Resource List on the Song of Health website. We compile the updated lists to email to you as well.

 The items are listed per category.

 By listing the “Date Evaluated” you can be assured of the most recent updates.

 Under the “Evaluated For” column, “ALL” signifies that the product has been analyzed for all food categories included in the Carroll Food Intolerance Evaluation Method.

In some cases, you will see ingredients listed in the “Results” column that are ot included in “Evaluated For.” This is due to: 1) the ingredient has been listed on the packaging; 2) or it is obviously in the stated category; 3) or our doctors evaluated for more than what was asked for. For example, results for milk will be “dairy (D).”

 Under “Purchased At” we no longer furnish where the product was purchased; however, if the product was purchased outside the Pacific Northwest area, the region will be noted.  Sometimes, I will be able to locate a place to purchase a product for you, if requested.

If you have any questions, please contact us at:
manager@songofhealth.com. We are happy to help!

• SHOPPING SUGGESTION: Do you have a smart phone? You can log on to Song of Health.com, The Food Resource List, and look up items while you shop!
