General Mills Gets a Taste of Backlash after it Spent Over 1.2 Million to defeat GMO Labeling Initiative

Just one day after General Mills’ Cheerios brand released a Facebook app allowing “fans” to “show what Cheerios mean to them,” the app was abruptly pulled due to thousands of angry consumers using it to create anti-GMO statements and lashing out against the company’s treachery

The fact that General Mills would rather pay millions to hide that their products contain GE ingredients rather than give you the choice to buy something else, or reformulate their product without GE ingredients is quite telling. And fortunately, people are now starting to see through these shady tactics where actions do not match the words

Washington state and Vermont are now working on people’s initiatives to get GE labeling laws passed in 2013

Are You Getting the Informatio n You Need from Your Doctor?

When you or a loved one becomes ill, it is usual to turn to the family doctor or specialist for advice. But if the recommended solution for the illness gives you concern or just doesn't make sense to you, what should you do?

You should find another health professional that will direct you to a course of action (who will explain it in a way that you can fully understand) that makes complete sense to you.

Remember, if a person cannot explain something to you in a way that you can understand and that makes sense to you, that person really doesn't understand it himself or herself.

But how can it be that doctors will direct patients to do something that that they themselves do not really fully understand, or is not in the best interest of the patient?

We hear how this can come about from one of the most highly regarded doctors in the medical profession today, from an article entitled:

Conformity* of Thought Among Doctors

[*Definition - Conform: bring into agreement; make similar.]

"More than any other profession, medicine develops, even demands, conformity among its practitioners. The concept of 'accepted practices' carries considerable weight in the medical profession."

"For the young physician, the pressures of conformity start in medical school and are intensified in the training programs that follow."

"The amount of material that a medical student or a training physician is expected to learn and understand, in addition to the time that he or she must spend caring for patients, is so large, that little time can be spent asking whether what is being taught is the best approach to a particular problem."

"Since there is general conformity of medical practices and education across the country, there is little reason for the physician in training to have any doubts that he or she is learning the superior, if not the only, method of treating our common diseases."

"After completion of medical training, conformity is necessary to receive hospital privileges and to acquire patients by referral from other doctors. The fear of disapproval from other physicians may sometimes be greater than the desire to do what seems best for the patient."

"This fear is justified, for nonconforming physicians can be stripped of their ability to practice medicine regardless of the benefit their patients may be receiving from their particular approach."

"Therefore, conforming to today's accepted practices ensures a degree of safety for the physician. Regardless of the outcome of a therapy, good or bad, physicians are above blame if they have complied with the currently accepted approaches."

"They can take comfort knowing that they did 'what was considered best.' This of course could be true, but what was thought best at any time in history is only just that - what was thought best at that time."

"It bears repeating: The history of medicine, even to the present day, is as much a sequence of failures abandoned as well as successes built upon. Yet each 'abandoned failure' was strongly believed in and practiced in its day."

"Even modern medicine is constantly cleaning house. It is estimated that 50 percent of all accepted medical practices are abandoned or replaced by safer or more effective ones every 20 years!"

"Until then, whatever is the 'accepted practice' of the day will be dispensed [Definition: provide to a number of people.] with enthusiasm and confidence by most physicians."

"It is not hard to see, therefore, how something as simple as looking to diet and exercise as the first-line, even superior, therapy for the diabetic could be ignored, even belittled, given the present enthusiasm for drugs and technology that is brought about by medical training and continued by the forces of professional conformity."

excerpted from Reversing Diabetes
by Julian M. Whitaker, M.D.

Always be willing to ask questions and demand answers, and demand that the answers make sense to you. If your doctor can't explain what you want to know, or "does not have the time", then it's time for you to find another doctor who will and can. Do not allow yourself to settle for second-class service or a second-class doctor.

Can Your Body Control Your Emotions? 

It is well understood that mental and physical travail can lead to emotional difficulties. It is not as well understood that poor physical health can lead to emotional trouble. Conversely, good physical health leads toward positive emotional states and may even magnify the intensity of the desirable emotional states. This body-emotion connection is known as the Somato-Limbic Relationship.

There is no question that drug companies have attempted to correct emotional troubles using drugs with the idea in mind that emotions are affected by physical states. Unfortunately, the drug results are very often erratic and even horrible. A few multinational drug corporations have ceased producing such emotion affecting also known as 'mind altering' drugs as law suits based on drug side effects were making their activities unprofitable.

Getting the body to close to ideal health through nutrition and other genuine approaches can do wonders though orthodox health care does not like to acknowledge these approaches as effective. Excellent emotional health is built through excellent physical health.

Poor health of organs or glands can be associated with certain emotional traits. Let's take the liver as a prime example. Poor liver health is associated with frustration and in a more severe form anger. If you are overly frustrated or overly angry in your dealings with life and you do not know why perhaps your liver could use some assistance. On the other hand, a healthy liver makes it much easier to be passionate about one's interests.

Look at a teenager on the SAD (Standard American Diet) pun intended who begins puberty. The liver is already under stress from the diet as well as environmental toxins and now the hormonal changes begin. The sex hormones being produced add another stress to liver function as the liver breaks down these hormones as part of the end cycle of metabolism. Further the adrenal cortex produced stress hormones tend to be brought into play as puberty itself is stressful. The liver gets to detoxify these as well. Poor liver health could easily be part of the troubles we see teenagers experience.

Numerous other unwanted emotional states can appear to lesser or greater degree associated with ill health in particular organs. Guess which organ when unhealthy is associated with low self esteem?

A Major Threat to Public Health

Antibiotic-resistant disease is a major threat to public health, and the primary cause for this man-made epidemic is the widespread misuse of antibiotics—both in medicine and agriculture

A baby gets his or her first "inoculation" of gut flora from the mother’s birth canal during childbirth, which is why a mother’s use of antibiotics during pregnancy may predispose the child to asthma and a variety of other ailments, including neurological dysfunction and autoimmune disorders

One chicken farmer has demonstrated that even large-scale animal farming can manage without routine administration of antibiotic drugs by using an herbal remedy of oregano oil and cinnamon instead

Vitamin C and Your Nerves

Sorbitol (a form of sugar) travels to certain parts of the body where it builds up. These parts of the body are the lens of the eye where it forms a white milky film called cataracts, and the sciatic nerve (the big nerve that runs down your leg) where it causes nerve damage (nerve pain).

Studies have shown that taking 2,000 mg a day of vitamin C reduces the production of sorbitol and strips sorbitol out of the body.

The only way you can acquire the vitamin C you need is through your diet and/or supplementation.

Most of the "vitamin C" sold in the US is ascorbic acid. This is a man-made chemical found nowhere in nature.

There is a huge difference between WSN Vitamin C and ascorbic acid. The more ascorbic acid you take, the less your body absorbs.

In contrast, WSN Vitamin C containing 100 percent Foodform Vitamin C is a whole food containing no ascorbic acid and the body knows exactly how to absorb and use it.

In fact, 3 WSN Vitamin C tablets contain almost as much whole food vitamin C as a half-gallon of fresh squeezed orange juice!

You can find out more and order the WSN Vitamin C by using this link:
