Standing up every ten minutes, even briefly, helps prevent some of the damage!

In the course of analysis to identify potential allergens in GMO crops, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has belatedly discovered that the most common genetic regulatory sequence in commercial GMOs also encodes a significant fragment of a viral gene (Podevin and du Jardin 2012). This finding has serious ramifications for crop biotechnology and its regulation, but possibly even greater ones for consumers and farmers. This is because there are clear indications that this viral gene (called Gene VI) might not be safe for human consumption. It also may disturb the normal functioning of crops, including their natural pest resistance.
What Podevin and du Jardin discovered is that of the 86 different transgenic events (unique insertions of foreign DNA) commercialized to-date in the United States 54 contain portions of Gene VI within them. They include any with a widely used gene regulatory sequence called the CaMV 35S promoter (from the cauliflower mosaic virus; CaMV). Among the affected transgenic events are some of the most widely grown GMOs, including Roundup Ready soybeans (40-3-2) and MON810 maize. They include the controversial NK603 maize recently reported as causing tumors in rats (Seralini et al. 2012).
The researchers themselves concluded that the presence of segments of Gene VI “might result in unintended phenotypic changes”. They reached this conclusion because similar fragments of Gene VI have already been shown to be active on their own (e.g. De Tapia et al. 1993). In other words, the EFSA researchers were unable to rule out a hazard to public health or the environment.

According to the same simplistic logic (forget the false data they propagate) used by those who wish to ban guns, because doctors cause deaths, we should ban them too!
Address this problem (psychs and GPs prescribing deadly drugs) first and the gun problem might just go away!
The number of iatrogenic deaths FAR exceed gun related deaths.
BAN DOCTORS!
36 Million SERIOUS Adverse Drug Reactions PER YEAR In The USA
“On January 8th, 2001, the LA Times published an article by one of the best medical reporters in the business, Linda Marsa: “When Good Drugs Do Harm.” Marsa quoted researcher Dr. David Bates, who indicated that, in the US, there are 36 million serious adverse reactions to medical drugs per year.”

I have not verified the statistics but they do not look unreal.

Here is a blog post and comment that give the tech on how to do it.
I make almond flour at the same time that I make my almond milk. It’s a bit of a process and takes a while to make enough for baking, but the grind is very fine. First, I blanch one cup of almonds and take the skins off. then place them in the blender with two cups water and blend very well. Add one to two more cups of water and blend and pour the whole through a cloth lined colander over a bowl to catch the milk. Use a spoon to stir along the cloth to move the almond flour around to allow the milk to go through, and then twist and squeeze the cloth to force the milk through as much as possible. Add a tsp. of vanilla and about a tsp. of honey to the milk and store in the refrigerator to use on cereal or in smoothies, etc. Take the flour from the cloth and spread out on cookie sheet to dry in oven on coolest setting (170 or 150 degrees). After it is dry and hard blend it into a fine flour. I keep mine in the freezer until I have enough for baking. It makes about 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time. The milk is tasty and rich and is really good in chai tea. It will separate in the refrigerator, but I just shake it up before using it.
