Twenty-two leading scientists, experts in pest resistance, have written an urgent letter to the EPA asking the agency to warn farmers about the hazards of Monsanto’s genetically engineered Bt corn, planted on millions of acres across the U.S. and Canada.
The corn has been gene-spliced with bacterial DNA that produces Bt insecticide in every cell of the plant. Monsanto’s misleading promise was that farmers could plant Bt crops and not have to spray pesticides, but predictably, corn rootworms have begun to develop resistance. Scientists warn of massive yield loss and surging corn costs if the EPA doesn’t act quickly to drastically reduce Bt crops’ acreage and force Monsanto to make non-GMO varieties of its high-yielding hybrid corn available to farmers.
Now’s our chance to ask the EPA to ban Bt crops! Let’s urge the EPA to look at the danger to human health, as well as farming. Monsanto’s insecticide-producing bacterial DNA survives digestion and is now found in the blood of more than 80% of North American women – and their fetuses! Scientists say the exposure comes from a typical (non-organic) diet, primarily through the consumption of animals fed GMO crops. The chronic health impacts of exposure to GMO Bt genes is unknown, but Monsanto’s own study of rats fed Bt crops showed liver and kidney damage.

Outlaw Psychiatry!
Yesterday I finished listening to a lecture series from 1959.
I now know why psychiatrists can advocate such destructive actions as electric shock, cutting up people’s brains, sterilisation and chemical straight jacketing. This is what they are actually doing or advocating doing to minors in WA right now.
They cannot do anything to genuinely help a person so that makes it OK to do ANYTHING to a person – even kill them.
Another piece of the jigsaw puzzle of life falls into place.
The sooner psychiatry is outlawed the better.
Secrets To Success In Life
When I woke up this morning lying in bed, I was asking myself,
‘What are some of the secrets of success in life?’
I found the answer right there, in my very room.
The fan said………….Be cool.
The roof said………..Aim high.
The window said…….See the world.
The clock said……….Every minute is precious.
The mirror said……….Reflect before you act.
The calendar…………Be up-to-date.
The door said…………Push hard for your goals.

Here’s This Weeks Reminder to Focus On the Important Things
COFFEE
A group of alumni, well established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor (Professer Ed, The working girl’s friend).
The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, and some exquisite — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. After all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it’s just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and then began eying each other’s cup.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, houses, cars, things, money and position in society are the cups. They are just used to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee Nature has provided us.
You brew the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee. Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect. It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections. Live in peace and peace will live in you.”
Psychiatry's Master Plan for Control
Here are actual recordings of a prominent English psychiatrist by the name of Colonel J R Rees addressing the National Council of Mental Hygiene in October 1940 and his colleague G. Brock Chisholm, the co-founder of the World Federation for Mental Health setting the agenda for psychiatry’s influence and control of every sector of your life. Today it’s becoming more a reality with mental illness being diagnosed for all and any of life’s inherent difficulties www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh6-79wc2Ac#!

On Diet, Rice and Sugars
I was recently asked about brown rice in the diet. Dr Mercola interview Dr Paul Jaminet and his “Perfect Diet”. The interview is at:

and more data on rice is at:
