What exactly is the FDA "good" for??

They drag out the approval process for drugs, and medicines that are proven effective in other countries. While they speed approve drugs that are insanely dangerous, and later have to be banned. After doing severe damage to a great number of people, that are only ignorant in trusting that the FDA is following through with their claim of keeping people safe.

There extensive process for passing drugs into market, increase the price to a point where the average person can't afford the medicines need. While at the same time, the FDA makes it illegal for people to purchase medicine from countries where it's cheaper.

They knowingly allow severely toxic chemicals to be added to our food supply, and to products used on a daily basis. Why? Not for the safety of the general public, but for the bottom line of corporations. A good example of this is McDonald's Chicken Nuggets, which contain dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent that's supposedly safe. It's a silicone oil usually found in caulk, rubber cement, mold release agents, and Silly Putty. Why on earth is it in nuggets? Not bcuz it's good for you. Not bcuz it adds any nutritional value to the junk. Nope....it's purely for manufacturing reasons. It keeps their machines pumping out nuggets at lightening speed, without clogging up the works with nasty, bacterial laden goo. Can it get worse? Yes! McNuggets also contain another petroleum-based chemical called tertiary butylhydroquinone (tBHQ)...this one proven TOXIC, is a form of butane. Used in the food industry as a preservative, to extend shelf-life, and keep foods from quickly going rancid.

The FDA considers tBHQ to be G.R.A.S. (Generally Recognized as Safe) allowing 0.02% of tBHQ overall. What are the side effects of ingesting tBHQ? In amounts as little as one gram ... "nausea, vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse." There are also suggestions that it may lead to hyperactivity in children as well as asthma, rhinitis and dermatitis. It may also further aggravate ADHD symptoms and cause restlessness. Long term, high doses of TBHQ in laboratory animals have shown a tendency for them to develop cancerous precursors in their stomachs, as well as cause DNA damage to them. It is also suggested that it may be responsible for affecting estrogen levels in women.

Let's not just bash McDonalds. tBHQ is used extensively in all processed and fast foods. It's also extremely prevalent in pet foods, as well as in cosmetisc and baby skincare products, varnish, lacquers and resins. It is used in the stabilisation process of explosive compounds. The risks and side-effects of this preservative product far outweigh the benefit of it being used as a highly unsafe preservative ingredient.

Anyway......what's that all lead to? Who's job is it to really protect our health, and keep us safe? FIRST AND FOREMOST....YOU!!! I don't have any problem with companies making shit food, and toxic products, and dumping in all the chemicals and dyes they want, or cutting every corner possible for profits. That's up to them I suppose. If a federal government body is going to exist...that claims to exist for food and drug SAFETY, then it should be made to do just that!!! Otherwise it shouldn't exist at all. The entire FDA needs to be restructured...top to bottom, inside out! Every single ingredient needs to be listed on all products. If the list is too long...it needs to be repacked to allow for an additional insert. Along with nutritional content, it should accompany warnings, side-effects, and links to online data. Not a phone number.

A whole other issue is stating directly on labels, whether ingredients are genetically engineered (GE). Some companies are taking it upon themselves to add claims on BPA-Free, MSG-free............finally! This is all due to consumer action, and online education about the harmful effects of these chemicals. WE CAN DO MORE. MORE! MORE! MORE! This is post hardly touches on the subject....it's only to kindle interest. As you research more online....be sure to UTILIZE ALL the social media buttons available! Post what you find to Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, etc, etc. Search for online petitions, sign them, and share the links with friends and family! That's the first step.

Second....email companies and share your disappointment in their choices, and business practices. Speak up for yourself and your family! Let them know you're not STUPID, and you're not going to spend your hard earned money on toxic garbage!

Third.....use your purchasing dollars to create change! Boycott products that are unsafe! Find affordable alternatives, make more fresh, homemade meals, eat more raw food, and continue to educated yourself! Find online support groups to keep you inspired!!!

Love Mama xoxox

P.S. Look for the "JUST LABEL IT" link in my sidebar....to take you to a simple petition to reform the FDA!!! It's a good place to start!

 

This is a biased post. I don't see the point of the FDA to begin with.

Seeds of Discord: BioPiracy. India files lawsuit against gentic-giant Monsanto

There's 2500 varieties of eggplant in India. If Monsanto had it their way...they'd kill off all but a few varieties....the ones they OWN! And, it won't just be eggplants...they'll follow suit with every edible plant that exists. In my opinion Monsanto should be dismantled, and their top dogs imprisoned for crimes against humanity, but...that's another post for another time.

Indian Governement Files Biopiracy Lawsuit Against Monsanto

Monsanto will own all seed

At one point in America we had hundreds of varieties of corn, rice, beans, tomatoes, and so on. Today...thanks to Monsanto's covert, and genetic manipulation...we have approximately 2 or 3 varsities of each...and Monsanto OWNS all of them! How does a corporation own a plant that someone else bought the seeds for, planted and grew in their own garden, or on their own property, on their own farm? How can Monsanto own our entire food supply? Actually....working at owning the entire GLOBAL food supply. Basically they own the PATENTS on a genetic level....if that makes any sense? And I should mention...it's not just plants....they've gotten into the business of owning livestock, human genetics, and body parts.....to the tune of 11,000 patents so far. There's a new rush to own the genetics of everything on earth. Biogentics is new real estate, and the riches to reaped are unlimited. Maybe, hopefully....a new realm of hackers will come into play here, and start leveling the playing field. Who knows. But, it's sad that it's been going on so long, unrecognized, unmonitored, and unregulated. Bless India for standing up!!!

Monsanto's methods are spelled out in a series of confidential commercial licensing agreements obtained by the AP. The contracts, as long as 30 pages, include basic terms for the selling of engineered crops resistant to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, along with shorter supplementary agreements that address new Monsanto traits or other contract amendments...

For example, one contract provision bans independent companies from breeding plants that contain both Monsanto's genes and the genes of any of its competitors, unless Monsanto gives prior written permission -- giving Monsanto the ability to effectively lock out competitors from inserting their patented traits into the vast share of U.S. crops that already contain Monsanto's genes...

"We now believe that Monsanto has control over as much as 90 percent of (seed genetics). This level of control is almost unbelievable," said Neil Harl, agricultural economist at Iowa State University who has studied the seed industry for decades. "The upshot of that is that it's tightening Monsanto's control, and makes it possible for them to increase their prices long term. And we've seen this happening the last five years, and the end is not in sight."

Unfortunately these videos are disable from embedding, so will have to follow links to Youtube if you haven't seen this episode.

Sid The Science Kid | Getting a Shot: You can do it!

Sid the Science Kid Gets a Flu Shot (song)

Not going to wax to crazy about conspiracy, but seriously...a little strange. Teaching about washing hands, and covering mouth when sneezing/coughing is one thing. My personal opinion is this cross the line. Would be just as strange to have an episode that discussed the dangerous of vaccinations. Neither is something I expect to see on a children's show, on public television. I understand that show exists to help little ones work through their concerns and fears, but this isn't really a matter for children. Is it? No harm done I guess....just weird!

Detox 2012: Coffee Enemas

For those who are into self-health.....coffee enema's are an invaluable, common practice that work wonders. For everyone else, enema's are an uncomfortable and taboo subject....something seldom performed, and usually as a last resort for severe constipation. One has to first understand that taking remedies orally has a limited effect. The digestive system has been very thoughtfully designed to be a "closed" system that doesn't effect all parts of the body. This is incredibly important, bcuz when things are ingested that aren't safe or healthy....the body can route it straight to the crapper, as everyone knows....who's eaten a bad meal. For those that really want to take control of their own health, protocols will eventually head in a more southerly direction, where blood vessels, and mucus membranes, closer to the surface....aid in a better delivery of some remedies.

Coffee is something everyone has on hand, and despite reasonable concerns about taking it in the other end....it's the most common enema for detoxing, and stimulating bile flow to help flush and clean the liver & gallbladder. If you really want to see results....it's something to be added to your regime. First, you'll have to get past the taboo of enemas. You'll have to buy a enema bag. You'll need a serious one, not the small, plastic, disposable types. The photo (right) is an enema, douche, water bottle from Walgreen's for around $10. 2-quart capacity, and latex-free. Douching is another delivery route, and having a flexible hot-water bottle on hand never hurts, so it's a good buy. The bag comes with a hook, to help gravity deliver flushes, and proudly displace your cleansing equipment! ;) What? Your shame will quickly turn to proud enthusiasm with the results.

On to the actual cleansing....

This protocol is from FloridaPie.com. Came across her site last night, and thought I'd show some love. She's got some interesting videos on her youtube channel. At first glance, soft-porn comes more to mind then detoxing, but I like the idea that a woman can play around with her looks, have fun, and still be totally serious about natural health. Plus, out of all the sites I looked at....I liked her protocol the best.

FloridaPie's 7 Day Detox Liver And Gallbladder Colon Cleanse.

FloridaPie suggests a "clean-burning" diet before starting. You can view her suggestions here (pretty simple).

Detoxification of the body is of the greatest importance!
Pregnant women should not use coffee enemas.Coffee as well as herbal enemas are great way too start detoxification of your body.
Coffee enemas enhance digestion by increasing bile flow and remove toxins in the large intestine so they cannot be absorbed.

If a coffee enema does not make you feel better you might be taking too many or too much, stop them for a day or two and then try again.
If you feel better after a coffee enema you probably need it.
The coffee enema has been used in hospitals to heal toxic shock and was part of orthodox medical technique listed in the Merk Manual for over seventy years [1898-1970s].

Coffee enemas are very stimulating to the liver, and are a great aid in eliminating its toxic poisons.
A coffee enema should be given every morning for one month, then twice a week for several more weeks.
Coffee enemas cause relaxation in the liver-gallbladder region which gives rapid relief of pain.You could even pass some gallstones.

Some health care practitioners suggest using the coffee enema up to 6 times daily for severely ill patients.

Here are some reasons for taking enemas
Small volume enemas to clean the rectum and lower colon, astringent enemas, to relieve inflammation in diarrhea, dysentery, nourishing enemas, given for wasting diseases, unconsciousness, and where it becomes necessary to administer nutrients by rectum, and enemas taken to thoroughly cleanse the entire length of the colon.
A basic dietary detox program, subtle colon stimuli are usually used to enhance colonic action. These may include herbal or pharmaceutical laxatives (an enema is better) , fiber and colon detox supplements, such as psyllium seed husks alone or mixed with other agents, aloe vera powder, bentonite clay, and acidophilus culture. Enemas using water, herbs, or coffee (stimulate liver cleansing) are sometimes used.

The caffeine used in enemas stimulates the liver and gallbladder to help remove toxins, open bile ducts, encourage increased peristaltic action, and produce the necessary enzyme activity for healthy red blood cell formation.

A coffee enema implant, it involves only a few ounces of brewed coffee.
Using a quart or more of coffee solution may be more difficult to retain for most individuals.
However, the use of a quart or two of coffee solution, and making sure the solution reaches most of the large intestine, is of great benefit for cleansing the colon of accumulated waste material. If one suspects severe bowel toxicity or in cases of serious illness, quart or multi quart enemas are preferable, at least to start with.

Their does not seem to be any negative effects of coffee enemas in those who need them.

Difficulties occasionally may arise if one has hemorrhoids. In these cases, extra care is needed in inserting the enema tip. (better lubrication is helpful in these cases) Vaseline is a better lubricant if a person has hemorrhoids.
Some people with hemorrhoids find enemas to irritating they would find it more comfortable if they used a lubricant.

A small number of people are unable to retain even a cup of coffee solution for the required 12 to 20 minutes. One can start with a weaker coffee solution and add more water in these cases. There seems to be no harm if one wishes to retain the enema longer than 20 minutes. While enemas may seem uncomfortable, many clients report the procedure is so helpful they soon forget the inconvenience.

These enemas will release old, encrusted colon waste, discharge parasites, freshen the intestinal tract and make the cleansing process easier and more thorough. Enemas accelerate any cleanse for optimum results. They are especially helpful during a healing crisis, after a serious illness to speed healing, or to remove drug residues. Migraines and skin problems like psoriasis are also helped with enemas. Adding herbs to the enemas serves to alkalize the large bowel , help control irritation and inflammation, and provide healing action to ulcerated or distended tissue.

Fresh wheatgrass juice enemas help stimulate the liver to cleanse. Wheatgrass juice enema nutrients are absorbed by the hemorrhoidal vein, just inside the anal sphincter, then circulate to the liver where they increase peristaltic action of the colon, and attract waste and old fecal matter like a magnet to be eliminated from the body. Wheatgrass juice tones the colon and is absorbed into the blood, adding oxygen and energy to the body.Use distilled water for an initial enema rinse of the colon.
Then use about a cup of water to 4 ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice.
Hold the juice for 10 to 20 minutes while massaging colon area. Then, expel.

Herbal implants are concentrated enema solutions for more serious health problems, like colitis, arthritis or prostate inflammation. Prepare for an implant by taking a small enema to clear out the lower bowel. You'll be able to hold the implant longer.

A colonic irrigation the "super enema."
I have used both colonics and enemas in detox programs. Benefits are matter of degree but they're dramatically different, both in terms of waste removed and body improvement.
Your colon is over five feet long. If you want to cleanse all of it you need a colonic irrigation. Here's how a colonic works. A colonic irrigation uses special equipment and gravity (or oxygen for more control) to give your colon an internal bath. The person receiving the colonic lies on a special board which is about three feet below the temperature-controlled water flow. A sterilized speculum is gently inserted in the rectum. Under the control of the practitioner, a steady flow of water gently flows from a small water tube.

There is no discomfort, not much internal pressure, just a steady gentle water flow in and then out of the colon through the evacuation tube, carrying with it impacted feces and mucous.

Unlike an enema, a colonic irrigation does not involve the retention of water. As the water flows out of the colon the practitioner gently massages the abdomen to help the colon release its contents, recover its natural shape, tone, and normalize peristaltic wave action. A view tube is available for observation and all colonic matter is contained in the equipment. You do nothing but lie back and relax while the entire colon is cleansed.

A colonic irrigation uses 30 to 40 gallons of water and takes about 60 minutes. The colonic procedure is not offensive, nor painful. The first things most people feel after a colonic irrigation is a sense of lightness, energy and an improved sense of well-being. Skin condition, digestion and immune response improve. Body odor and bad breath essentially disappear, as does belly distension.

Colonics or high enemas are best done in the early evening so that you can relax and retire for healing rest. For the best results take a green drink before and after the colonic.

Unlike a cleansing enema that takes only a few minutes to complete. A detox enema takes some time to finish!
There are several items you will need other than an enema bag.

I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS PROTOCOL. I HAVE IT ADDED TO THE STEPS I'M TAKING FOR MY OWN DETOX, AND I WILL POST RESULTS, AND EXPERIENCES FROM IT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EFFECTS. FROM ALL I'VE READ ON THE COFFEE ENEMA'S....THERE'S AN INCREDIBLE SENSE OF SPIRITUAL CALM AND WELL-BEING AFTERWARDS, AS IT SUPPOSEDLY WORKS WONDERS FOR PURGING TOXIC LOADS FROM THE BODY. THE ASPECT OF ENEMA'S THAT APPEALS TO ME....IS THAT IT'S OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THE BOWELS ARE EMPTYING QUICKLY WHEN DETOXING. A NATURAL LAXATIVE IS A MUST TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE TOXIC, DEATHLY GARBAGE YOUR BODY IS RELEASING........IS QUICKLY ELIMINATED FROM YOUR SYSTEM....OTHERWISE IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL MUCH MORE SICK!!!
I CAN STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF ELIMINATION! WITH ENEMA'S THAT'S ALREADY GUARANTEED. SO MANY THAT UNDERTAKE DETOXING, DON'T PUT ENOUGH EMPHASIS ON THE ELIMINATION PART, WIND UP HAVING TERRIBLE, TOXIC EFFECTS FROM THE SLUDGE SITTING IN THEIR INTESTINES/COLON TOO LONG, AND IT'S SO SCARY......THEY NEVER END UP TRYING IT AGAIN!
I know that taking responsibility for your own health is a daunting task in itself, and many of the protocols are complex, and weird, and the opinions so varied. Searching for answers online....make it even more confusing. You'll find one site that raves about the miraculous effects, and the next site will scare the shit of you dangers. When it comes right down to it.....FOLLOW YOUR OWN INNER GUIDANCE SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS!!!!! If it doesn't feel right for you....don't do it. If something feels right about it, but something is telling you to wait...listen, bookmark it, and get back to it later. Also feel free to come up with your own protocols (once you have an understanding of the all the aspects involved). Use muscle testing to help decide what the best course is for YOU.
With all that said...........
Know one thing is true.......................it all really comes down to shitting out toxins! There's no padding to that, and it's not a joke. Decades of accumulated junk is being stored in your body, and it exits one way. True, it can also leech through your pores, but this is not in anyway efficient, nor is throwing up (another exit route). Nope...your bum is your best friend in detoxing. Respect it, and take advantage of it's miraculous design!!! Shying away from it is disrespectful. Embrace your bum! Celebrate in it! :P

Castor Oil Therapy

Castor oil pack therapy has been used by humans for as long as we have recorded human history. It was seen as the most healing of agents in antiquity. So much, in fact, that ancient Romans came to call the Castor seed plant the Palma Christi, or "the hand of Christ." Castor oil was viewed as the all-healing agent -- almost divine in nature. Whether or not you are one to practice homeopathic or other natural remedies in the 21st century, the results obtained from Castor oil pack therapy typically speak for themselves - even among critics.

Castor oil is extracted from the seed of the Castor oil plant, whose botanical name is ricinus communis. And while it was Edgar Cayce who made Castor oil well known throughout the U.S. in the 20th century, it has a long history of use as a healing agent around the world. The Journal of Naturopathic Medicine published findings that Castor bean seeds, believed to be 4,000 years old, were found in many Egyptian tombs. Historical documents reveal the medicinal use of Castor oil in India, Africa, Greece, Rome, Egypt (for eye infections), China (for induction of childbirth and expulsion of the placenta), Persia (for epilepsy), Southern Europe, and the Americas.

Today Castor oil pack therapy remains an effective source of relief for a number of maladies. It is used for everything: general aches and pains, colds, flu, sciatica, eye infections, c-section healing, mastitis, arthritis, ulcers, and to decrease soreness/irritation/inflammation of almost any body organ - breasts, nipples, fingers, throats, abdomen, uterine cramping, etc. Castor oil pack therapy has been used to increase milk production among lactating women, and it is occasionally used to quickly and effectively heal the umbilicus of newborns, and is regularly used to stop hormone-related hair loss.

Castor oil pack therapy has also been used in the clinical setting for liver and gallbladder complications, abscesses, headaches, appendicitis, epilepsy, hemorrhoids, constipation, intestinal obstructions, hyperactivity, as well as in cases where pregnant women are at high risk of miscarriage.

Women have benefited from Castor oil pack therapy when used to avert breastfeeding issues (such as mastitis, clogged ducts, and general soreness/inflammation), and also to heal from birth (especially beneficial in cases of cesarean section or other healing from surgery). Castor oil has been used to treat ovarian cysts, fibroids, and heavy menstrual cycles.

Dr. Harold J. Reilly (2008) worked with Castor oil pack therapy for 45 years and told of one of his patients who'd been dealing with especially heavy menstrual cycles for 13 years. By the time this woman came to see Reilly, her problem was threatening her career as an opera singer, and had already impacted her home life as a mother and wife. Four leading gynecologists who reviewed her case all recommended surgery - ranging from D&C to total hysterectomy. Instead of surgery, Dr. Reilly put her on a regimen which included castor oil packs four days a week. This woman soon reported, "After the first two nights of the Castor oil packs, the spotting stopped, and this was remarkable, because it was just after my menstrual period, and usually that went on and on. By the end of the week, I sang in a concert and felt fine."

Directions for Use

1) Always use a high-quality, cold-pressed Castor oil, available in health food stores.

2) Use a cotton or wool flannel cloth that is folded to the correct size (for the location you are using the pack on) and is several layers thick when folded.

3) Pour Castor oil into a pan and soak the cloth in the oil.

4) Wring out the cloth so that it remains wet, but not dripping.

5) Apply the cloth to the area which needs treatment.

6) Cover with plastic (saran wrap or even plastic bags cut open work great) and then apply heat if desired (a hot cloth, heat pack, etc.) to increase penetration of Castor oil. Do not use heat if there is already open infection at the site.

7) If you are resting on a bed or couch, towels can be put down to protect the surface you are relaxing on.
8) After the pack is in place, you can wrap a large towel around the body (if using on the abdomen or breast) or a smaller towel (if using on the throat/head). An ace bandage can be used to hold the pack in place on the arm or leg.

9) The pack should remain in place for 60-90 minutes. So r-e-l-a-x. Breath deep. Listen to soothing music. Meditate. Pray. Watch a feel-good movie. Read a book. Whatever helps you stay calm and just let go of your worries for the hour.

10) After 60-90 minutes, the skin should be cleansed with a baking soda solution: 1 teaspoon baking soda to 1 pint water. You can wipe this over the area you treated in the shower (if desired) and shower off.

11) The flannel pack can be re-used several times. Do NOT throw it away. Put it into a ziplock baggie for future uses. It does not need to be rinsed or cleaned. The Castor oil soaked into it is fine to leave as is. Next time, soak again before starting.

12) Repeat these steps daily, or for 4 consecutive days per week (4 days on, 3 days off), until results are obtained.
