I’d Like to Order One Viral Sandwich Please

The FDA, stooping to a new all-time low, has now approved experimental viruses to be sprayed on food to kill bacteria.  And this is just the beginning, the company that produces these biotech wonder bugs, Baltimore-based Intralytix Inc, is planning all sorts of news viruses for our food supply.

A cocktail of six viruses will be spayed on processed luncheon meat, like turkey and ham, as well as chicken.  The goal is to kill a rare but nasty bacteria known as Listeria monocytogenes.  The company is also seeking FDA approval for viral sprays to treat foods that could be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella, which means these viruses will end up in a majority of the protein foods in the food supply.

Medical Identification Chips are Coming

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey will conduct extensive testing of the implantable VeriChip in 280 patients.  The FDA would like a VeriChip in everyone’s arm.  However, in order to gain acceptance they will first work with chronically ill patients, get the bugs out of the system, and then try to implement the technology in our society.  They will try to claim this will help reduce the hundred thousand deaths per year from inept medical care.  This is part of a broad FDA agenda to electronically track all health information in an FDA-owned database.  As I explain in Fight for Your Health, this will include your DNA.

The FDA is Overwhelmed by All the Drugs it Has Approved

A new report in the Wall Street Journal shows that the FDA is unable to keep track of all the drugs it has approved.  The FDA’s approved drug list has risen from 36,000 drugs in 1990 to over 123,000 in 2005.  An insepction by the Department of Health and Human Serivces found that the directory failed to list 9,000 current medications and listed 34,200 that were no longer on the market or listed in error.  How can the FDA possibly keep track of adverse drug events when it can’t even keep track of the drugs?

Update:  On August 23, 2006 the FDA proposed a rule to require drug companies to file all information electronically and submit updates every six months.  While this is a good idea, in typical government style, it will take months before the plan is implemented.

Health Freedom Activists Question the FDA on Illegal Behavior

The FDA is actively colluding with foreign governments behind the backs of the American people and Congress.  In essence, the FDA is seeking to establish “Health Treaties” that will harmonize U.S. law with foreign countries.  The FDA has no legal authority to do this.  Members of Congress are getting upset.  The FDA has a lot of answering up to do!  Recently, a letter was delivered to the temporary head of the FDA, Andrew von Eschenbach, M.D., demanding an explanation.  It is simply hard to comprehend how out-of-control the FDA is, consistently acting in ways that undermine Americans, health freedom, and the right to be healthy.

The Unique Risks of Infants and the Unborn

Our society is woefully lacking in taking steps to protect the smallest of our citizens from extreme health dangers.  Exposure of the fetus to various forms of chemical or other forms of stress may easily damage the nervous system with lifelong consequences.  Likewise, infants are also at particular risk for harm.  The fluoride added to water and the rocket ignition fuel contaminant perchlorate are examples of powerful neurotoxins that are especially harmful to our smallest citizens (read Fight for Your Health for the full details).  Two new studies lend further credence to this important issue.  In one study it was found that ultrasound exposure of baby mice for a total of 30 minutes during pregnancy resulted in permanent malformation of brain cells.  Another study showed that exposure of infants in the Los Angeles area to higher amounts of air pollution doubled the risk of dying from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).  Little bodies are trying to grow and develop.  We owe every person a fair chance at a healthy life.

Continuing the Life-Threatening Brain Experiment on Children

A new study confirms that antidepressants in children cause an elevated risk for suicide, more so than adults.  Children taking antidepressants may have a 15 fold higher increase rate of attempting and possibly committing suicide, compared to children not taking antidepressants.  The scientists have no clear explanation for the increased susceptibility to damage in the developing nervous system.  Even though the FDA has issued a black box warning, how can they allow such an experiment to continue?  I’ll answer more own question.  The forces in place that are giving out the medication, including our own federal government (as pushed by the Bush TeenScreen agenda) are far more concerned and obsessed with mind control of the population than with mental health of children.

Pesticides are the Source of Many Health Problems

Animal studies confirm that pesticide exposure damages the nervous system and digestive system. Of course, along with the immune system these are critical areas of development for any person seeking to grow up to be healthy.  When are the brain-dead bureaucrats going to clean up the environment and clean up the food supply?  Don’t count on the EPA to be of any help.  As their own scientists point out, the criminal companies that our poisoning our country and food simply hide behind the legal system.  Of course, the Bush administration does everything it can do to side with industrial polluters at the expense of human health (not that Clinton was any better).
