    • How Monsanto really makes GMOs

      GMO's are made by manipulation of extremely deadly viruses & bacteria that have been engineered to be IMMUNE TO ANTIBIOTICS, such as E. coli (Pause video at 8:08). Monsanto spends millions of dollars each month to "sugar" coat and hide the truth of what they are doing or what is really behind how GMO's are made.

      This video straight-forwardly explains the scientific facts how Monsanto manufactures their GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) by removing all the corporate propaganda, the "smoke & mirrors" if you will.

      **Please be warned, the once the mask is removed from what you are eating & feeding your children each day, it will outrage you and shock you to the core.

      Monsanto's greed combined with their quest to totally monopolize all aspects of food on the planet, has knowingly allowed the proverbial Reaper free upon the world.

      GMO's are now acting much like the deadly virus and pre-cancer cells they are made from... by infecting other organisms that were once pure and healthy.

      The people of the world should be demanding Monsanto be held for crimes against humanity for the atrocities they have committed and what can be reasonably seen as the start of the end to all life as we know it.

      The Bee's disappearance is in perfect unison with the time line of Monsanto's release of GMO's; this can not be argued but due to Monsanto's influence of corruption in governments across the globe, any scientist that tries to inform the public and raise the alarm about the Bee's & GMO's is destroyed financially, as well as their careers'.

      Monsanto is the MOST ruthless corporation in the world, which basically controls many governments due to their near limitless resources, money and their "campaign contributions".

      They buy WHO they need and crush those that try to stand in their way.

      Now that you know, what will you do?

      Will YOU decided to fight, right now, this very day or will you put it off for some other time?

      After watching these videos, will you also knowingly look the other way and FEED your family GM foods; even though you now know you could be killing or permanently harming your child/family??? If so, call Monsanto for a job, for you have disgraced and shamed yourself for knowingly poisoning the people you claim to love and PROTECT!

      ....BUT

      If you are OUTRAGED at Monsanto's poisoning our food, milk (see my other video on milk!) and health; Please do the following actions, do them once a week... make a difference:

      1) Call and WRITE (pen & paper) you're Legislators

      (Emails are the very last thing you should do; most are scanned by software and are blocked/deleted when they contain certain key words. This is a fact.)

      Demand:

      2) That they FULLY endorse: "H.R. 6636 GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD RIGHT TO KNOW ACT"

      3) An immediate moratorium on all GMO's and their Byproducts!

      4) FDA change their findings on GMO's being "Generally Recognized As Safe"! This was done with ZERO testing by the FDA!

      5) Demand a full investigation into the criminal conflicts of interest as it pertains to the head personal of Monsanto and the FDA being one in the same.

      6) Demand congress pass a "whistle blowers protection" for all professional scientists so that Corporations, Universities and Colleges can no longer manipulate their research.

    • Model targets foot-and-mouth risk

      UK scientists have found a way to quickly identify livestock at risk from infection through airborne transmission of the foot-and-mouth virus.

      The control of foot-and-mouth outbreaks is of global socio-economic importance.

      Researchers have created a simple risk model by combining weather and livestock information collected during the 1967 UK foot-and-mouth outbreak.

      It may be possible to automate the system, the scientists suggest in the Journal of the Royal Society.

      Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth - a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals - cause severe disruption to the farming sector and economy.

      Dr Schley from the Pirbright Laboratory at the Institute for Animal Health in Surrey explained that transmission of the virus between different premises can mostly be controlled by implementing stringent control measures:

      "You can stop animal movements, try to enforce bio-security on farms and try and make sure people disinfect themselves," he told BBC News.

      However, airborne transmissions are particularly difficult to control: "All we can do is try to detect and contain such transmissions afterwards," explained Dr Schley.

      Airborne transmission of virus particles is influenced by the wind and atmospheric turbulence.

      Dr David Schley and colleagues used NAME in their study - a system that has been developed by the UK Meteorological Office to predict the weather.

      They also incorporated details about the source of the virus - including the number of animals infected.

      The model was tested by applying it to the recent 2007 UK outbreak in Surrey.

      Data deficient

      The scientists recognise that successful implementation of these predictions requires accurate information regarding the location of animals before any outbreak occurs.
      The independent review of the 2007 UK foot-and-mouth outbreak by Dr Iain Anderson included recommendations for improved "data and information management systems".

      "(Currently), we know where the owner of the animals lives, but that is slightly different from knowing where the animal is. If that information was available you could make some useful and powerful predictions in terms of risk," said Dr Schley.

      He added: "The level of information that I would like the UK to aspire to has already been achieved by other countries - including New Zealand."

      A well-coordinated and reliable data system could be automated: "The next day (we) would be able to say, these are the farms that we feel are the priority for inspection."

      Scientists at the Institute for Animal Health have developed other models for predicting the transmission of other viral diseases that affect livestock:

      "(Bluetongue) is spread by midges - but they can be affected by which way the wind blows because they are so tiny and light," commented Dr Schley.

    • Plastics suspect in lobster illness

      The search for what causes a debilitating shell disease affecting lobsters from Long Island Sound to Maine has led one Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) visiting scientist to suspect environmental alkyphenols, formed primarily by the breakdown of hard transparent plastics.

      Preliminary evidence from the lab of Hans Laufer suggests that certain concentrations of alkyphenols may be interfering with the ability of lobsters to develop tough shells. Instead, the shells are weakened, leaving affected lobsters susceptible to the microbial invasions characteristic of the illness.

      "Lobsters 'know' when their shell is damaged, and that's probably the reason when they have shell disease, why they molt more quickly," says Laufer, a visiting investigator at the MBL for over 20 years and professor emeritus of molecular and cell biology at the University of Connecticut. "But ultimately, they still come down with the disease. And we think the presence of alkyphenols contributes to that."
      ~~~~~~
      Yet, how many plastic bottles and other plastic items will wind up in our waterways today alone? Our convenience and apathy are poisoning the Earth and those species who live on it, including ourselves. Not very bright.

    • Genetically Modified Mosquitoes May Combat Malaria

      In a cramped, humid laboratory in London, mosquitoes swarming in stacked, net-covered cages are being scrutinized for keys to controlling malaria. Scientists have genetically modified hundreds of them, hoping to stop them from spreading the killer disease.

      Faced with a losing battle against malaria, scientists are increasingly exploring new avenues that might have seemed far-fetched just a few years ago.

      "We don't have things we can rely on," said Andrea Crisanti, the malaria expert in charge of genetically modifying mosquitoes at London's Imperial College. "It's time to try something else."

    • BIOTERRORISM: Plague as a biological weapon

      Bioterrorism is the utilization of microorganisms or toxins in order to produce a disease and/or death in human beings, animals or plants. Different from conventional weaponry, relatively economic means are used that allow the elimination of living beings without destroying the surrounding atmosphere.

      The most probably method for spread of bioweapons is aerial transmission, continuing into water supplies and food. The CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta) has subdivided into three categories the aggressiveness of "Bioweapons".

      Category A comprises:

      Plague, Anthrax, Smallpox, Botulism, Tularemia, Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (Ebola, Marpurg).

      The Plague. The data reported from the WHO refer to the presence of approximately 1000/3000 cases per year of the plague, distributed mostly between Africa, South America and Asia. In the United States the last city epidemic of plague was in 1924-25, in Los Angeles, and from there the disease manifested in the rural areas with a 10-15 cases the year, above all in the New Mexico, Arizona north and south Colorado region, and also in the California, souther Oregon and western Nevada regions.

      In Asia the plague is diffused in the the Caucasus and also in Russia, China, and in some zones of south-western and Southeastern Asia. The plague is present in Uganda (November 1988, 49 cases), Malawi (July 1999, 74 cases), Namibia (May 1999, 39 cases) in Madagascar and Sudafrica.

      The plague is absent in Europe and Australia.

      Never as hour has been taken place, in our history, the requirement to one preparation in sight of an eventual terroristic attack. A terroristic attack could be put in action to means of crews of mass destruction, of chemical products, therefore like by means of crews of biological nature which virus, bacteria and other germs. In case of attack with use of products chemical and/or radioactive , the effects would be immediate.

      Many hours, instead, even days, could pass silently before stating the devastating effects of an attack of biological nature.
      CDC declare that the plague is a possible biological weapon because the bacterium occurs in nature and could be isolated and grown in quantity in a laboratory .

      To understand a potential act of bioterrorism, it is important to recognize the presentation of naturally disease.

      Bubonic Plague: incubation period is 2-6 days. Early symptoms are lymphadenopathy and fever. Patients develop swollen lymph nodes, which are called buboes. If bubonic plague is not treated, the bacteria can scatter through the bloodstream causing septicemia or infect the lungs.

      Pneumonic Plague: incubation period is 2-4 days with range of 1-6 days. Symptoms are acute attack of fever, myalgias associated with progressive lack of energy. It is caused by direct inhalation of infective respiratory droplets or aerosolized bacteria. Chest radiographs of untreated patients show rapidly expanding bronchopneumonic infiltrates. Without early diagnosis and therapy in less than 24 hours, pneumonic plague is generally fatal.

      Septicemic Plague is frequently fatal also when treated. Occurs when Yersinia Pestis increase in the blood. Symptoms are acute attack of fever, prostration,vomit,nausea, abdominal pain,purpura. Subsequently the disease may develop disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

    • ABCD's of Melanoma

      Malignant Melanoma is the most aggressive of malignant cutaneous tumours. Cases with lymphonode involvement, and distant metastases, carry a very poor prognosis, (50% and 20% respectively alive in 5 years), while those presenting without evident lymphonode involvement have a much better survival rate (60% alive in 5 years).

      It is therefore extremely important to do early malignant melanoma diagnosis. There are several criteria that may lead to the diagnosis of a malignant melanoma. The most important one is the ABCD rule.

      The ABCD diagnosis of Malignant Melanoma -

      A = Asymmetry: Moles are commonly symmetrical and round. Very early melanomas, are asymmetrical assuming different forms. One half does not match the other half.

      B = Border: Commonly moles, have even and smooth borders. Early melanomas, are usually uneven and notched borders.The edges are ragged, notched or blurred.

      C = Color: Moles commonly are a single shade of brown, early malignant melanomas shows brown-tan or black color. Further, as melanomas progress, may see red, white, and blue color.

      D = Diameter: Early malignant melanomas, differently from moles, tend to grow larger in diameter. First suspects in melanoma start fom, a 6 millimeters diameter on. Any sudden or continuing increase in size should be of special concern.

      Synthesis: a mole with diameter of 6 millimeter, that it introduces alterations - irregular asymmetry, edges, color - must induce the patient to address early on dermatologist to careful clinical and dermatoscopic examination and consequently, if necessary, to surgical removal of the lesion, with successive hystological examination.
      Melanoma Prevention

      According to the risk factors for malignant melanoma, the following preventive measures are also recommended:

      * UV exposure, should be reduced. Prolonged sunbathing, as well as the use of tanning lamps, is not recommended. Children, under three years of age, should be held in the shade.

      * Sun protection, should be obtained through suitable clothing. Children should be peculiarly dressed when playing outside.

      * Use adequate sunscreens.

      * Sunburns should be avoided, particularly in children.

      Therefore people with multiple and abnormal moles, or with a family history of malignant melanoma, should have their skin checked continuously by a doctor/dermatologist.

    • Human viruses in deep groundwater threaten drinking water supplies

      Researchers testing deep aquifers used for drinking water found human viruses, challenging the assumption that these crucial water supplies are protected from surface contamination.

      Samples from three public water supply wells that draw from a 240-foot deep aquifer in Wisconsin contained human intestinal viruses, which as a group are associated with diseases such as meningitis, encephalitis, newborn enteroviral disease and polio.

      Deep aquifers are a source of drinking water for many people.

      Context:

      Municipal drinking water wells are often drilled deep into the ground to reach aquifers lying under relatively impermeable layers called aquitards. Aquifers bounded above and below by aquitards are called contained aquifers. The aquitards are thought to protect the aquifers from surface contamination.

      Shallow groundwater near waste water injection well sites can contain bacteria and viruses. Injecting waste water from treatment plants into the ground to recharge wells continues even though it's been known for 30 years that the recharged well water can be contaminated with pathogens (Vaughn et al. 1978). Bacteria found in human intestines have been measured as well in aquifers in the United Kingdom (Powell et al. 2003).

      Viruses have a greater likelihood of reaching aquifers to contaminate drinking water than bacteria, protozoa and other waterborne, disease-causing organisms because their small size may allow them to pass through aquitards to reach aquifer waters. Until now, this possibility has not been tested explicitly. In a survey of over 400 sites across the United States, groundwater samples tested positive for at least one virus type (Abbaszadegan et al. 2003). This study, however, did not identify which of the aquifers were contained aquifers.

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases On The Rise

      By analyzing 335 incidents of previous disease emergence beginning in 1940, the study has determined that zoonoses - diseases that originate in animals - are the current and most important threat in causing new diseases to emerge. And most of these, including SARS and the Ebola virus, originated in wildlife. Antibiotic drug resistance has been cited as another culprit, leading to diseases such as extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB).

      The scientists also found that more new diseases emerged in the 1980s than any other decade, "likely due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which led to a range of other new diseases in people," said Mark Levy, deputy director of the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESN) at Columbia University.

      But this team did not stop with determining the causes and origins of emerging infectious diseases; they took it a step further. To help predict and prevent future attacks, sophisticated computer models were used to help design a global map of emerging disease hotspots.

      "This is a seminal moment in how we study emerging diseases," said Gittleman, dean of the Odum School of Ecology, who developed the approach used in analyzing the global database. "Our study has shown that bringing ecological sciences and public health together can advance the field in a dramatic way."//////////end of excerpt.////////The more we develop without the proper safeguards, the more at risk we place our own species.

    • Moms pre-chewing food can give HIV to kids

      For the first time health officials are reporting that HIV/AIDS can be spread to kids by their mom's pre-chewing their food. It's not the saliva that carries the virus, it's the blood. In at least two of the cases studied, the infected mothers had bleeding gums or mouth sores.

      CDC officials say more studies are needed, but in the meantime they are asking parents and caregivers with HIV not to pre-chew infant's food, and they are trying to educate doctors about this kind of transmission.

      "The condition means she is unable to produce adrenaline in response to alarm or any sudden form of emotional or physical stress.

      Instead her body goes into shock and her organs could shut down unless she receives medical treatment."

      Jennifer's parents have to watch TV with her to make sure she does not see anything startling. If there are any she has to leave the room.
