There can be little doubt that genetically engineered crops are the most dangerous aspect of modern agriculture. Not only are we seeing rapid emergence of super-weeds resistant to glyphosate, courtesy of Roundup Ready crops, we now also have evidence of emerging Bt-resistant insects. Add to that the emergence of a brand new organism capable of producing disease and infertility in both plants and animals, and a wide variety of evidence showing harm to human health, and the only reasonable expectation one can glean is that humanity as a whole is being seriously threatened by this foolhardy technology.

ClearWater, a community-led project that is providing immediate relief to the people of the Ecuadorean Amazon. The same powerful communities that have been waging a 19-year battle to bring Chevron to justice for its toxic legacy in the Amazon are now building safe drinking water systems for themselves. http://ran.org/tell/clearwater/

A new ultra-sensitive test developed by scientists from the Imperial College London and Spain’s University of Vigo has the potential to detect the earliest stages of a disease, thereby giving any treatment the best possible chance of succeeding. The researchers claim their new biosensor test is capable of detecting biomarkers (molecules which indicate the presence of a disease) at concentration levels much lower than is possible with existing biosensors. While the new test has already proven capable of detecting a biomarker associated with prostate cancer, the team says their biosensor could be easily reconfigured to detect biomarkers related to other diseases or viruses. http://www.gizmag.com/ultra-sensitive-biosensor/22703/

Apparently thyme helps with acne! http://www.naturalnews.com/035869_acne_natural_cures_thyme.html
Green Tea and Thyme Skin Toner
4 to 5 good quality green tea bags or several heaping teaspoons of green tea leaves
1/3 to 1/2 cup of fresh thyme roughly chopped
2 cups of mineral or vitamin water 
small pot
Combine all ingredients in a small pot. Bring the pot to a boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tea and thyme steep until cool. This will make a rich, highly concentrated green tea and thyme solution.
Squeeze out each tea bag thoroughly over the pot, press the thyme with the back of a spoon to release every bit of the herb, and then strain liquid into a container.
Many herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and mint freeze very well for use in recipes all year long.
Use a cotton ball to tone the skin every day. The tea thyme toner can be kept for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Thyme, a very common garden herb, complements the tea in this recipe because it promotes circulation in addition to possessing antioxidant, astringent, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Thyme also has properties as an antiseptic and is used medicinally to treat sores and inflammation.
