The World According to Monsanto

The long awaited, blockbuster film http://www.fsicart.com/seeds The World According to Monsanto is now available in the United States. It is a powerful tool to motivate anyone to take up the cause against genetically modified foods. We urge you to hold house parties and sponsor free public showings of the film. Use our Film Showing Kit to help publicize the film and mobilize inspired audiences to take effective action to stop GMOs.

This months Spilling the Beans is a review of the film. We also offer a shorter version of the review for websites and publications that are limited in space.

Update on bovine growth hormone (rBGH)

But first, great news! Monsanto just sold off their bovine growth hormone (rBGH/rBST) business to Ely Lillys animal division, Elanco. Monsanto dumped this genetically engineered drug because snowballing consumer rejection of dairy products from cows treated with rBGH has already driven it out of Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Kroger, and 40 of the top 100 dairies.

Our Institute for Responsible Technology was one of many groups that helped bring about this victory by educating consumers about the potential health dangers (increased risks of cancer, higher fraternal twin rate, antibiotic resistant diseases, etc.). Informed people dont want anything to do with the drug. When the numbers of concerned, discerning shoppers hit the critical mass, a tipping point in the dairy industry ensued. For the inside scoop, view our new film on rBGH, Your Milk on Drugs Just Say http://www.yourmilkondrugs.com/ No! No! No!. Better yet, watch it as part of the bonus material on The World According to Monsanto DVD.

GMO Tipping Point Needs Your Help

Our Institute is now pursuing the same tipping point strategy to end the genetic engineering of the food supply. Our Campaign for Healthier Eating in America will inform receptive demographic groups in the US about GMO risks, and provide them with Non-GMO Shopping Guides. We expect to achieve the US tipping point before the end of 2009, which will leave companies scrambling to replace their suddenly unpopular GM ingredients.

To achieve our goals, we need to add some key staff positions immediately. Now would be a great time - actually a critical time - for you to donate to our Institute and invest in the health of our food supply and ecosystem. http://tccouncil.org/institute/ Please find an excuse to make a contribution today.

How much outrage can a single multinational corporation inspire How much damage can they inflict The breathtaking new film, The World According to Monsanto, features a company that sets the new standard. From Iowa to Paraguay, from England to India, Monsanto is uprooting our food supply and replacing it with their patented genetically engineered creations. And along the way, farmers, communities, and nature become collateral damage.

The Gazette says the movie will freeze the blood in your veins. The Hour says its a horrifying enough picture to warrant fury. But most importantly, this critical film opens our eyes just in time.

The film is the work of celebrated award-winning French filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, whose three years of work on four continents exposes why Monsanto has become the worlds poster child for malignant corporate influence in government and technology. Combining secret documents with accounts by victims, scientists and policy makers, she guides us through a web of misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. And we learn how the company systematically tricked governments into allowing dangerous genetically modified (GM) foods into our diet: with Monsanto in charge of determining if theyre safe.

Deception, Deception, Deception

The companys history with some of the most toxic chemicals ever produced, illustrates why they cant be trusted. Ask the folks of Anniston, Alabama, where Monsantos PCB factory secretly poisoned the neighborhood for decades. PCBs are Monsantos toxic oils used as coolants and lubricants for over 50 years and are now virtually omnipresent in the blood and tissues of humans and wildlife around the globe. But Anniston residents have levels hundreds or thousands of times the average. They all know their levels, which they carry as death sentences. David Baker, who lost his little brother and most of his friends to PCB-related diseases such as cancer, says Anniston kids used to run up to him, report their PCB level and ask, How long you think I got

Ken Cook of the Environmental Working Group says that based on Monsanto documents made public during a trial, the company knew the truth from the very beginning. They lied about it. They hid the truth from their neighbors. One Monsanto memo explains their justification: We cant afford to lose one dollar of business.

Monsanto also produced the infamous Agent Orange, the cancer and birth-defect causing defoliant sprayed over Vietnam. It contaminated more than 3 million civilians and servicemen. But according to William Sanjour, who led the Toxic Waste Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, thousands of veterans were disallowed benefits because Monsanto studies showed that dioxin [the main ingredient in Agent Orange] was not a human carcinogen. But his EPA colleague discovered that Monsanto had allegedly falsified the data in their studies. Sanjour says, If they were done correctly, [the studies] would have reached just the opposite result.

Secret documents stolen from the FDA also reveal serious health effects from Monsantos genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, called rBGH or rBST. In particular, the amount of a powerful hormone called IGF-1 is substantially increased in milk from treated cows. Samuel Epstein, Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, says that approximately 60 studies link IGF-1 to breast, colon, and prostate cancers.

Cancer is also implicated in Monsantos showcase herbicide, Roundup. According Professor Robert Belles research showing disrupted cell division, Roundup provokes the first stages that lead to cancer. Belle, who is with the National Center for Scientific Research and the Pierre and Marie Curie Institute in France, says, The tested doses were well below those which people normally use.

Monsanto has promoted Roundup as harmless to both humans and the environment. But their advertised environmental claims, such as biodegradable, leaves the soil clean, and respects the environment, were declared false and illegal by judges in both the US and France. In fact, Monsantos own studies showed that 28 days after application, only 2% of the product had broken down. They were forced to remove biodegradable from the label.

Above the law

When Monsantos transgressions are reported to authorities, somehow the company is magically let off the hook.

When Monsanto finally did share information on PCBs with the government, for example, Ken Cook says instead of siding with the people who were being poisoned, [the government] sided with the company. . . . It was outrageous! When William Sanjours EPA colleague, Cate Jenkins, asked the agency to review Monsantos flawed Agent Orange studies, Sanjour says, there was no investigation of Monsanto. . . . What they investigated was Cate Jenkins, the whistleblower! They made her life a hell.

When Richard Burroughs of the FDA held up approval of rBGH by demanding more rigorous and relevant testing, he was fired. He says, They figured: eWell, if youre in the way, well get you out of the way.. . . One day, I was escorted to the door and told that was it; I was done. Senior government scientists at Health Canada testified that their superiors were pressuring them to approve rBGH and that Monsanto had offered them an alleged bribe of $1-2 million. The scientists were later reprimanded, punished, and eventually dismissed for disobedience. rBGH was never approved in Canada, Europe, and most industrialized nations.

When Professor Belle went to his administration to let the public know about the dangers of Roundup herbicide, he was ordered not to communicate his findings due to the GMO question lurking in the background. That question about genetically modified organisms was in relation to Monsantos Roundup Ready crops. Monsanto has the patent for 90% of the GMOs grown on the planet, and most of them are genetically modified specifically to tolerate applications of Roundup.

Corporate Coup detat

Monsantos past manipulations were mere warm ups compared to the virtual government takeover used to approve GM foods. Author Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation for Economic Trends, says, I have never seen a situation where one company could have so much overwhelming influence at the highest levels of regulatory decision making.

The problem Monsanto faced was that GMOs are inherently unsafe. They can create dangerous side effects. That was the overwhelming consensus by FDA scientists, according to 44,000 agency documents made public from a lawsuit. But the most important document, FDAs official policy, claimed that GMOs were not substantially different. They were granted the status Generally Recognized as Safe, even though they failed to meet the normal criteria. Thus, no safety testing is necessary. If Monsanto declares their GM products safe, the FDA has no further questions.

Former FDA biotech coordinator James Maryanski admits on camera that the GMO policy was a political decision, not scientific. In fact, FDA political appointee Michael Taylor was in charge of the policy. Taylor was formerly Monsantos attorney and later their vice president.

Monsantos people regularly infiltrate upper echelons of government, and the company offers prominent positions to officials when they leave public service. This revolving door has included key people in the White House, regulatory agencies, even the Supreme Court. Monsanto also had George Bush Senior on their side, as evidenced by footage of Vice President Bush at Monsantos facility offering help to get their products through government bureaucracy. He says, Call me. Were in the ede-reg business. Maybe we can help.

Monsantos influence continued into the Clinton administration. Dan Glickman, then Secretary of Agriculture, says, there was a general feeling in agro-business and inside our government in the US that if you werent marching lock-step forward in favor of rapid approvals of biotech products, rapid approvals of GMO crops, then somehow, you were anti-science and anti-progress. He admits, when I opened my mouth in the Clinton Administration [about the lax regulations on GMOs], I got slapped around a little bit.

Unlike Glickman, FDAs Maryanski tries in vain to convince filmmaker Robin that GMOs are safe and that US regulation is adequate. But Robin had conducted four months of intensive internet research examining declassified documents, leaked internal files, scientific studies, trial transcripts, articles, and first hand accounts of whistleblowers. She was prepared.

In a priceless sequence, the film alternates between Maryanskis assurances and public interest attorney Steven Druker reading formerly secret memos by agency scientists, describing the serious health damage that GMOs may cause. When Robin repeats these same quotes to Maryanski, he resorts to uncomfortable stuttering, stammering, and backtracking. When he ultimately tries to dismiss genetic engineering as completely safe, Robin nails him. She reads to Maryanski his own words from a 1991 memo in which he acknowledged that genetic engineering of a food supplement called L-tryptophan in the 1980s may have been responsible for a deadly epidemic that killed dozens and caused thousands to fall sick or become disabled.

Suppressing evidence of harm, attacking GMO scientists

When Monsantos GM crops hit American farm fields in 1996, virtually no safety studies had been published. The pro-GM UK government decided to commission Dr. Arpad Pusztai, the worlds leading scientist in his field, to design rigorous safety testing protocols that would convince a skeptical public to embrace GM foods. When Pusztai fed GM potatoes to rats, however, they developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, a damaged immune system, and inhibited growth of major organs. Moreover, Pusztais work implicated the generic process of genetic engineering itself as the cause. That is, any GM food already on the market might create the same problems in humans.

When Pusztai went public with his concerns, he was praised for his wonderful work by his director at the prestigious Rowett Institute. But according to a colleague, two phone calls from Downing Street [the home of UK Prime Minister Tony Blair] to the director resulted in Pusztais sudden dismissal after 35 years. His protocols were shelved and he was the target of a relentless smear campaign, designed to destroy his reputation while promoting that of GMOs.

UC Berkeley Professor Ignacio Chapela was also targeted after he published evidence that GM corn had cross-pollinated with indigenous Mexican varieties, forever contaminating the worlds genetic reservoir of corn. Just after his research was published in Nature, Mary Murphy and Andura Smetacek began posting false accusations on a biotech forum website, recruiting scientists to inundate the publication with demands to retract the study. When anti-GMO campaigner Jonathan Matthews analyzed the technical headers on the twos emails, he traced Smetacek to a Monsanto computer, and Murphy to their PR firm. The two were apparently fictitious characters created to stir things up. Matthews says, Theres no ethics at all in whats going on here. It shows an organization that is determined to push its products into countries around the world and its determined to destroy the reputation of anybody who stands in their way.

Monster corn and contamination by design

The film explores an ominous new development in Mexico that has yet to be reported in the scientific literature. Mutated and bizarrely shaped corn plants have been found along the roadside or in peoples yards or fields. Community organizer Aldo Gonzales says, They are really monsters! And whenever analyzed, the monsters turn out to be genetically engineered. Local scientists believe that when GM corn cross-pollinates with traditional varieties, some genetic effect disturbs the offspring.

One Mexican farmer realized the implications. If we dont manage to stop their spread in our fields, soon well be forced to buy our corn seed because our own wont work anymore Gonzales wonders if the contamination was intentional. He says, Contamination only benefits multinationals like Monsanto.

Intentional contamination of another sort appears to have happened in Paraguay, as illegal Roundup Ready seeds were smuggled in before GMOs were approved. Roberto Franco, Paraguays Deputy Agriculture Ministry, tactfully admits, It is possible that [Monsanto], lets say, promoted its varieties and its seeds before they were approved. We had to authorize GMO seeds because they had already entered our country in an, lets say, unorthodox way.

Once approved, large agribusinesses bought huge tracts and cut down the rainforest to plant vast Roundup Ready soybean fields. The GMOs allow them to spray by plane or mechanical spreader; to farm without farmers. Peasants who had worked the land for generations are forced out: 100,000 each year leave rural areas to live in the shanty towns of the cities. In one small farm community that is holding out next to a soy field, sprayed Roundup kills their livestock and crops, and sickens their children.

Destroying farmers

US family farmers also feel the heat. Troy Roush is one of hundreds accused by Monsanto of illegally saving their seeds. The company requires farmers to sign a contract that they will not save and replant GM seeds from their harvest. That way Monsanto can sell its seeds: at a premium: each season.

Although Roush maintains his innocence, he was forced to settle with Monsanto after two and a half years of court battles. He says his family was just destroyed [from] the stress involved. Many farmers are afraid, according to Roush, because Monsanto has created a little industry that serves no other purpose than to wreck farmers lives.

Massive farmer suicides

In many countries where Monsanto monopolizes the seeds of certain crops, they eliminate non-GMO choices to force farmers to buy GM varieties. In India, for example, where Monsanto pushes their pesticide-producing Bt cotton, there was no non-BT hybrid seed available in the market, says agronomist Kiran Sakhari.

Farmers had to borrow heavily to pay four times the price for the GM varieties, along with the chemicals needed to grow them. In spite of glowing promises of higher yields by Monsantos ads, Bt cotton often performs poorly. Tragically, tens of thousands of indebted desperate farmers have resorted to suicide, often drinking unused pesticides. In one region, more than three Bt cotton farmers take their own lives each day.

Replacing Nature: Nothing Shall Be Eaten That We Dont Own

Monsanto is the worlds largest seed company and many are concerned. Troy Roush says, They are in the process of owning food, all food. Paraguayan farmer Jorge Galeano says, Its objective is to control all of the worlds food production. Renowned Indian physicist and community organizer Vandana Shiva says, If they control seed, they control food; they know it, its strategic. Its more powerful than bombs; its more powerful than guns. This is the best way to control the populations of the world.

The World According to Monsanto is aptly named. It is about Monsanto seeking to recreate the world in its own image, for its own benefit. They intend to replace (and patent) the entire food supply. And since their genetic pollution self-propagates in the environment, it will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste.

Such widespread permanent influence may not be safe with any individual or company. With Monsantos record, the results can only be catastrophic.

This powerful documentary might just inspire a global rejection of Monsantos plans for our world. If so, it will be the most important film in history.

Hi Matt,

Here is the latest update from Michael Horn who is the originator and presenter of "The Fly" who is presenting information given to and about Billy Meier.You can get on the list to get his email from his site.

Les

Hi List Members,

There's a bunch of new - and important - information to share with you, such as:

Coming Earthquake & Tsunami!

I was just on C2C (http://www.coasttocoastam.com/) on September 5 and presented information I recently received from Switzerland (from a contact Meier had in 2005) regarding a coming earthquake and two tsunamis that will originate in the Northwest, off the coast of Oregon.

I've since learned that it will actually extend down to the south of California. The information is that the first earthquake will be a 9.0 and will last five minutes. This will be followed by the first and largest of the tsunamis, then lesser quakes and the next tsunami. Obviously, enormous damage to life and property is foretold. There is no specific date given for this event but the consensus seems to be that it's not all that far in the future.

When I received the information from Meier I did an internet search and found this very recent article, which lends even more credence to Meier's information:
 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/08/080826124413.htm

I also received the following from someone (not connected with Meier) who wishes to remain anonymous:

"I'm aware of the article and the scientists trying to figure out what is going on there off the coast of Oregon. I am way ahead of them on what is going on. They are coming to the wrong conclusions. I know what is causing the activity out there. I also know why they are puzzled.

"As for visions or otherwise, I can only go by my instruments that give me a few weeks to days warning. The bigger picture trend is that the volcanic root system is coming to life in the PNW. This is the sympathetic induction mechanism to the events off the coast (scalar latitudinal resonance). The scientists need to look inland to see what is going on silently. There is magma flowing quietly in areas that is not being detected."

Many people have asked for Meier to give specific predictions for these times. While many already exist (and can be read in the various prophecies published at http://www.theyfly.com this one is both very specific and very ominous. Each person must decide what meaning it has for them. Should I receive any more information pertaining to it I will also publish it.

Drilling for Oil

In light of the ignorant clamoring for more offshore oil drilling, and the warning above of the earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the longstanding warnings in the Meier material of the causal relationship between them and oil drilling (and the overbuilding of cities and damning of waters) I think that sensible people will push in every way possible to prevent just such irresponsible pursuits that only add the likelihood of such disasters.

Censorship Attempt by Skeptics

Just recently, Derek Bartholomaus and the skeptics at CFI-West/IIG pressured PRWeb to remove my latest press release, which primarily dealt with Meier's having beaten NASA by 32 years in publishing information about Mars. The press release also included information about the failure of these same skeptics to substantiate any of their claims that Meier hoaxed his UFO evidence.

While PRWeb gave in to their pressure, even though there was absolutely nothing untrue or defamatory in the press release, I still have the original up on my site at:
http://theyfly.com/newsflash94/UFO_Skeptics_Throw_in_the_Towel.htm
http://www.theyfly.com/newsflash94/UFO_Skeptics_Throw_in_the_Towel.htm

I also will eventually publish more information on just how embarrassingly bad the research by the skeptics has been. For those who've already seen the Special Features segment of The Silent Revolution of Truth where Bartholomaus comments on Marcel Vogel's metal sample analysis, you may recall that I criticized an inaccuracy of his. It turns out that the reason he made his mistake was because he copied the information from an abbreviated article of mine that had a typo in it - rather than actually having read the source material that I referred him to numerous times.

While such minutia may be of no interest to many people, in my opinion it's indicative of the overall incompetence, ineptitude and arrogance that is the hallmark of the pseudo-scientific skeptics. And such shoddy, despicable efforts have contributed greatly to the suppression and dismissive attitude that has kept the Meier case from getting the kind of serious, worldwide, mainstream attention it deserves.

Even an astronomer (and avowed skeptic) like Phil Plait, who wants to present himself as a cutting edge scientist actually interested in seeing proof of UFOs and extraterrestrials, ran the other way when I began to present the Meier material to him. I have had to point out to all of these very self-impressed "experts" that scientist and skeptic are not synonyms.

I should add that there is new, very interesting astronomical information that I just received from Meier that I will be publishing on my website in the very near future.

British Skeptic Tries to Duplicate

I am glad to say that there is a British skeptic, Tony Wharton, who at least tried to back up his claims by making a series of videos repesenting his best efforts to duplicate Meier's UFO films. You can see his videos as linked from my article at http://theyfly.com/newsflash95/British_Skeptic_Final.pdf, which also includes James Deardorff's and my my own critique of Wharton's efforts, as well as his acknowledgement of the points we raise.

Meier Warned of Russia-Georgia Scenario

In this article http://theyfly.com/newsflash94/Meier_Warned_About_Russia_Georgia.pdf you can read about the information Meier received (actually in 1989) that was first published in German in a book in 1991. I refer to it as the Russia-Georgia scenario because the warning seems to indicate that there will be a number of such events, also seemingly involving Russia as well.

New Spiritual Teaching Section

I'm very glad to say that we've expanded the Spiritual Teaching section and put links in the middle of the lower part of the homepage to several new translated articles on different aspects of the spiritual teaching in the Meier case. We hope to add many more translations in the future as they become available.

New CD of the "Beamship Symphony"!

People have been asking for a fuller recoding (26 minutes!) of the sounds of the UFO for a long, long time and now we finally have it at http://theyfly.com/products/products.htm#beamsymph. You can read all about it there but be sure to heed the suggestion, "It is NOT recommended to play this, late at night, from high-powered stereo speakers in automobiles, while driving slowly, with the windows down, through peaceful neighborhoods. Remember, please don't do this, no matter how tempted you may be. After all, we don't want to be in any way responsible for waking up the sleepy masses with sounds of UFOs from outer space.

Additional Savings!

At some point we'll get around to putting the following notices in all of the places where it applies but until then, pertaining to the four "Message from the Pleiades" volumes from Wendelle Stevens, "We also now have Message from the Pleiades Volumes 1 - 4 all on one disk for only $90, instead of $100 for all four volumes sold separately. Don't worry, we now contact anyone who orders the four volumes and offer them the discount and a refund of $10.

we also offer the Preliminary and Supplementary Investigation Reports on one disk for $45 instead of $50 for two disks. And, as above, we will offer the discount and a refund of $5.

With economic realities being what they are, we're trying to actually lower prices wherever possible on this valuable, hard to find information.

Coming Video Newsletters

In the next couple of months we hope to put some video newsletters up on youtube, etc. so that people who don't have the time to read all of the information can at least get the "news" in an easy to access form. More about that will follow once we're ready to go.

2012 Hysteria

There's a lot of conjecture floating around about December 21, 2012. This is addressed seemingly quie logically by a member of the FIGU Forum at http://forum.figu.org/cgi-bin/us/show.cgi?14/8853 wherein he says, "So the problem is not that the Mayan calendar is inaccurate but that it has been misinterpreted. It has been misinterpreted in several New Age books by people who don't understand the cyclic nature of the Mayan, Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days, a period known as The Great Circle. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. And, of course the Mayan civilization died out before they had the chance to extend it.

"If our civilization was wiped out tomorrow by some unforeseen catastrophe, and centuries from now an alien race were to find a typical wall calendar left behind, then they might think that we believed the world was going to end on December 31, 2008 if the same illogical thinking was used by them."

I think that this has the ring of truth to it and it certainly should be offered to all of those people who are running around promoting yet another New Age myth.

NEWS RELEASE

Release: No.909-DNA/420

Experts Link DNA to Dolphin-Human Communications and Remarkable Healings

Puna, Hawai’i — Beyond being life’s blueprint, DNA plays a powerful role in newly discovered communications between dolphins and humans, according to a team of Cetacean (dolphin and whale) researchers at the Sirius Institute on the Big Island of Hawai’i. An ongoing study there shows these marine mammals receive and transmit sound signals capable of affecting the genetic double helix, and using natural biotechnology, dolphins may heal humans swimming near them “sonogenetically.”

Fourteen years of multidisciplinary study at this arm of the Human-Dolphin Foundation indicates that the expression of DNA, traditionally considered the “blueprint of life,” can be changed by the sound and electromagnetic fields generated by dolphins. A startling report, published this month in DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral (Tetrahedron, LLC; 1-888-508-4787), by research director Dr. Michael Hyson and others, examines DNA’s coiled design, vibrating action, and “electrogenetic” functions during bioacoustic interactions between dolphins and humans. The dolphin’s acoustic and electromagnetic effects on the human body through DNA may best explain how remarkable healings, often reported by swimmers following dolphin contacts, have occurred.

DNA is activated, new research shows, by waves and particles of energized sound and light which, more than chemicals or drugs, switch genes “on” or “off.” Likewise, genetic inheritance is energetically transmitted “bioacoustically and electromagnetically” through special water molecules that form the electrogenetic matrix of the DNA. These hydroelectric structures shaped like pyramids, hexagons, and pentagons, direct healing processes. In this case, dolphin-assisted therapy occurs in an undersea environment—electrochemically similar to human blood serum—which enhances the energetic effects according to the researchers.

These findings, according to Paradise Newland, founder of the Sirius Institute, dolphin-attended underwater childbirth pioneer, and originator of the Cetacean Commonwealth, support a new view of dolphins and whales as “people of the sea.” “The Cetacea have had complex languages for millions of years, have the largest brains, include the largest creatures anywhere, and have a history of friendship, cooperation, and even partnership with humans,” she says. These facts support the need to enact legislation, according to Ms. Newland, designating dolphins and whales as “conscious beings” and giving them “full protection under human laws.” The Commonwealth is advancing this scientific and political agenda to encourage Cetacean preservation, cross-species communication, and their increasing participation in our world.

“Experiences with dolphins over 40 years,” Dr. Hyson notes, “have shown me that dolphins are more ‘human’ than many of us. They are empathetic, telepathic, and often willing to help humans heal. We will use this research to help establish the rights the Cetacea are entitled to in a process similar to how the Australian Aboriginal people gained their human rights to life.”

Dr. Hyson’s research on the mechanisms of dolphin-assisted therapies is included in the new 550-page book ($29.15) available by special order from the small press and select bookstores. It is written for “intelligent lay readers and above.”

Vinegar Kills Bacteria, Mold and Germs

The Five Basics for Nontoxic Cleaning

Learning to clean from scratch—making home-made recipes—can truly work if you take time to understand a bit about the chemistry behind how the materials work. Here are the five ingredients that I find to be the safest, most effective, and useful for cleaning.

Baking Soda  A commonly available mineral full of many cleaning attributes, baking soda is made from soda ash, and is slightly alkaline (it’s pH is around 8.1; 7 is neutral). It neutralizes acid-based odors in water, and adsorbs odors from the air. Sprinkled on a damp sponge or cloth, baking soda can be used as a gentle nonabrasive cleanser for kitchen counter tops, sinks, bathtubs, ovens, and fiberglass. It will eliminate perspiration odors and even neutralize the smell of many chemicals if you add up to a cup per load to the laundry. It is a useful air freshener, and a fine carpet deodorizer.

Washing Soda A chemical neighbor of baking soda, washing soda (sodium carbonate) is much more strongly alkaline, with a pH around 11. It releases no harmful fumes and is far safer than a commercial solvent formula, but you should wear gloves when using it because it is caustic. Washing soda cuts grease, cleans petroleum oil, removes wax or lipstick, and neutralizes odors in the same way that baking soda does. Don’t use it on fiberglass, aluminum or waxed floors—unless you intend to remove the wax.

White Vinegar and Lemon Juice White vinegar and lemon juice are acidic—they neutralize alkaline substances such as scale from hard water. Acids dissolve gummy buildup, eat away tarnish, and remove dirt from wood surfaces.

Liquid Soaps and Detergent Liquid soaps and detergents are necessary for cutting grease, and they are not the same thing. Soap is made from fats and lye. Detergents are synthetic materials discovered and synthesized early in this century. Unlike soap, detergents are designed specifically so that they don’t react with hard water minerals and cause soap scum. If you have hard water buy a biodegradable detergent without perfumes; if you have soft water you can use liquid soap (both are available in health food stores).

Mold Killers and Disinfectants For a substance to be registered by the EPA as a disinfectant it must go through extensive and expensive tests. EPA recommends simple soap to use as a disinfectant There are many essential oils, such as lavender, clove, and tea tree oil (an excellent natural fungicide), that are very antiseptic, as is grapefruit seed extract, even though they aren’t registered as such. Use one teaspoon of essential oil to 2 cups of water in a spray bottle (make sure to avoid eyes). A grapefruit seed extract spray can be made by adding 20 drops of extract to a quart of water.

Vinegar is a mainstay of the old folk recipes for cleaning, and with good reason. The vim of the vinegar is that it kills bacteria, mold, and germs.

Heinz company spokesperson Michael Mullen references numerous studies to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar—such as you can buy in the supermarket—kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses).

He noted that Heinz can't claim on their packaging that vinegar is a disinfectant since the company has not registered it as a pesticide with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, it seems to be common knowledge in the industry that vinegar is powerfully antibacterial. Even the CBS news show 48 Hours had a special last December with Heloise reporting on tests from The Good Housekeeping Institute that showed this.

Just like antibiotics, common disinfectants found in sponges and household sprays may contribute to drug resistant bacteria, according to researchers of drug resistance at Tufts New England Medical Center. Furthermore, research at the Government Accounting Office shows that many commercial disinfectants are ineffective to begin with, just like antibiotics.

Keep a clean spray bottle filled with straight 5 percent vinegar in your kitchen near your cutting board, and in your bathroom, and use them for cleaning. I often spray the vinegar on our cutting board before going to bed at night, and don't even rinse, but let it set overnight. The smell of vinegar dissipates within a few hours. Straight vinegar is also great for cleaning the toilet rim. Just spray it on and wipe off.

A friend once offered me a very musty, beautiful bureau. Because the bureau was so nice, I gratefully accepted the gift, with the thought that setting the bureau in a little sun for a day or two might kill the mold. Unfortunately, the sun didn't do the trick. Much to my surprise, the solution I finally found was easy, used all natural materials, and removed 100 percent of the musty smell.

Over the years I have found three natural ingredients that kill mold: tea tree oil (an essential oil found in most health food stores), grapefruit seed extract, and vinegar. There are pros and cons of each, but all three work. Vinegar is by far the cheapest. Tea tree oil is expensive, but it is a broad spectrum fungicide and seems to kill all the mold families it contacts. The problem is that it has a very strong smell, but that dissipates in a few days. Grapefruit seed extract is also expensive, but has no smell. Click here for how to use these three ingredients in your home, to kill mold and mildew.

Mold can be dangerous to your health, even if you aren't allergic. Many people react to mold by getting tired and even depressed. Try to stay on top of moisture and mold as soon as either arises. Dry out anything that is damp, such as basements (use a dehumidifier), and carpets. Fix leaks in plumbing and roofs. Wipe up spills. Make sure water doesn't escape from shower curtains. Vigilance will pay off!

* Tea Tree Treasure Nothing natural works for mold and mildew as well as this spray. I've used it successfully on a moldy ceiling from a leaking roof, on a musty bureau, a musty rug, and a moldy shower curtain. Tea tree oil is expensive, but a little goes a very long way. Note that the smell of tea tree oil is very strong, but it will dissipate in a few days.

2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water

Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem areas. Do not rinse. Makes 2 cups Preparation Time: Under a minute Shelf Life: Indefinite Storage: Leave in the spray bottle

* Citrus Seed Extract The advantage of using citrus seed extract instead of tea tree oil for killing mold is that it is odorless.

20 drops citrus seed extract
2 cups water

Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem areas. Do not rinse. Makes 2 cups Preparation Time: A minute or so Shelf Life: Indefinite Storage: Leave in the spray bottle

* Vinegar Spray Straight vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent of mold. Pour some white distilled vinegar straight into a spray bottle, spray on the moldy area, and let set without rinsing if you can put up with the smell. It will dissipate in a few hours.

Vinegar of the Four Thieves

Natural antiseptics can be made at home instead of buying commercial disinfectants that we are now finding out may cause drug resistance.

During the time of the Black Plague a family of perfumers robbed the dead. As perfumers they knew well the antiseptic essential oils, and they infused them in vinegar and rubbed them on their bodies; by doing so they protected themselves from certain death.

The doctors of the time used the same herbs and essential oils to to protect themselves while tending so many who were contagious. They wore big cloaks over their heads that reached down well below their shoulders. Attached to the cloak over the nose and mouth was a 10” long canoe-like shaped beak full of antiseptic herbs and essential oils.

Here is the famous Vinegar of The Four Thieves recipe; it is sometimes called Grave Robber’s Blend.

Place a small handful each of dried lavender, rosemary, sage, rue and mint in a large jar, and cover completely with organic apple cider vinegar. Cover tightly and set for six weeks. Strain into a spray bottle. Whereas no home can be made to be sterile, spray the powerfully antiseptic Vinegar of Four Thieves recipe in areas of concern, such as on cutting boards and door knobs, always making sure to avoid your eyes.

Non-toxic Oven Cleaner 

So many of you write to me asking how to safely clean the oven at this time of year, I know you are preparing for doing a lot of cooking.

Most of you also mention that you don’t like to use commercial oven cleaners because it is very hard to rinse the oven cleaner out of the oven enough and the taste of it gets into food. Yum: Roast turkey a la Oven Cleaner. Many also get headaches when using the commercial products.

Believe it or not, you can clean your oven safely with nothing but baking soda and water! Give this a try, because it really works!

Most people can hardly believe that all I use for cleaning the oven is baking soda and water, and that the project requires no scrubbing. I suppose we have all been so brainwashed by household products companies that we mistakenly believe we require powerful chemicals for cleaning. But most people don't know that simple household minerals such as baking soda can clean like magic. The key is using enough of the mineral.

To clean my oven, I sprinkle baking soda all over the bottom until it is covered completely with about 1/4 of an inch of baking soda. Then, using a clean spray bottle, I spray the baking soda with water until the baking soda is thoroughly damp but not flooded. After that, this lazy cleaner goes off and does other things. When I think of it, I dampen the baking soda again if it is drying out. Before I go to bed, I do that again. When I wake up in the morning, the baking soda can effortlessly be scooped out of the oven with a sponge, bringing all the grime with it. That's it! The only downside is that you need to rinse out the white residue left by the baking soda, but it sure beats Turkey à La Oven cleaner because there are no fumes!

Hi Matt,
This is one of the emails I sent out in 06 regarding research on the ocean conveyor.

Hi All,
I sent this email out last year however since then it is now known that in many parts of the world we have an increase in temperatures of over 3 degrees (our average went up 3.2 degrees in 2004 and 5. In some parts of Australia it is well over 7 degrees hotter and we are officially in a 1 in 1000 year drought. We are being fed bullshit by governments and certain scientist. Events in California is only the beginning, ice storms in a moderate climate !!!
Les

This piece of research is in my mind very important if not crucial to at least be aware of. I have attached a BBC net page with the full details of the program mentioned. Firstly however below are two extracts,one from The Henoch prophecies from his 215th.  Contact on February 28, 1987, the other from the 251st Contact on February 3, 1995. At that time there was no scientific evidence available to confirm this prophecy ! This can be found at the Nexus magazine web site at :-
http://www.nexusmagazine.com/

All of this will lead to increasingly horrible floods and unusually massive snowfalls which will advance to the southern countries and finally even to the equatorial regions, because through the insanity of human beings the Earth has begun unnoticeably to spin [strangely] as a consequence of atomic explosions inside and on the surface of the Earth. And this will be the reason that the planet will slowly but surely enter an extraordinary spinning orbit around the Sun, while the first phase is already occurring, which causes a change in climate, leading to a new ice age. Precipitated by the previously mentioned climate weapon, the entire earth will be subjected to very problematic climatic changes when overall temperatures fall, that is, they drop dramatically. the result will be that land masses and oceans will freeze because of man's insanity..........

Now is this possible and are there signs that this is actually happening.
The following are extracts from a new BBC Horizons special called "The Big Chill". Based upon scientific research after year 2000.

The significance of this report / programme is that the ocean conveyor which keeps the northern hemisphere in a warm climate is failing.  If this happens it will plunge the northern regions into another ice age.  The information also confirms that in the past the conveyor has switched of / closed down resulting in an  ice age. These events have happened quite suddenly and NOT as science still believes over many decades.

Over the past 5 years we have seen a significant change in our weather patterns world wide. Here in Australia we have been seeing an ongoing drought for now over 10 years with nearly every month in the past 2 years a new weather record is set whether it be hottest night, hottest day , driest period, highest rainfall etc. Typically areas on the Gold coast had over 900mm of rain in a 24 hour period (yes that's over 36 inches of rain ) yet so little fell in the rain catchment areas that the whole south coast region of Queensland have the lowest dam levels ever.

In Greenland the ice thaw has doubled in the last 10 years. Heavy rain in parts of Russia have increased the amount of water flowing from 3 major river systems that feed into the north Atlantic ocean.This has now contributed to a significant decline in salinity to the main ocean current.

The flow of hot water travels north and cools down in the arctic waters.
When it cools the salt in the water forces the current to drop to the ocean floor and then the cold current returns to the equator. What is now of major concern is the salinity of this ocean current has significantly reduced in the past few years. The latest research has discovered that the return current has reduced by a massive 20% over the past 5 years. (This it seems was from 1995 to 2000 !)

Science do not know at what level  loss of salt in the water will effect a complete stop of the ocean conveyor. Clearly however if this rate continues then in another 5 years the salinity of the ocean water will be significantly lost and there will be so little salt left in the water to allow for the drop of the ocean current and in consequence there will be a complete stop to the conveyor. When this happens the whole of England, part of Europe,Canada, Northern America will be plunged into an ice age and the monsoon seasons will also cease. The effect world wide will be catastrophic.

The Big Chill - Parts of transcript....Full transcript attached.
NARRATOR (JACK FORTUNE): In thirty years time they say Britain's summers could be like the South of France. By the end of the century we could be as hot as Greece. This they say is what global warming could bring us. But a growing number of scientists believe we could have our future climate completely wrong.

PROF BILL MCGUIRE: I can only describe it as catastrophic. It's clearly going to influence every single one of us every day of our lives.

Dr RICHARD WOOD: You could expect to see sea ice off the coast of South East England, probably several miles off shore.

BOB GASGOSIAN: The implications are huge. The economic implications, the political implications, and the national security implications, for all countries.

NARRATOR: If these scientists have it right forget the Riviera, Britain could be heading for a climate like Alaska's. And it could all happen in the just the next twenty years.

NARRATOR: Turrell believes that he has found evidence that a climate catastrophe could be heading right towards us.

DR BILL TURRELL: These changes are fundamental, they're substantial. They are going to impact our climate and the climate our children have to live in.

NARRATOR: If he is right then Britain could be heading for a massive drop in temperatures. It seems we could be heading for something like an ice age. The ice ages were one of the greatest forces nature has unleashed on our planet.

PROF BILL MCGUIRE: Effectively they wiped the slate clean in the northern hemisphere, over twenty times in the last two million years.

Prof RICHARD ALLEY: This flabbergasted us, I think this flabbergasted a lot of people.

NARRATOR: The changes were anything but slow. He saw that temperatures could drop suddenly and catastrophically. And it happened far more often than was predicted by the passage of ice ages.

Prof RICHARD ALLEY: The world sometimes did change in the slow grand sleeps and sometimes it changed like a light switch.

NARRATOR: The earth's past was full of devastating climate jilts, none as bad as a full ice age but enough to turn Britain in to Alaska. The search was on to find out what could trigger these climatic disasters. They searched through the ice record for clues. Had huge volcanoes blotted out the sun? There was no evidence for that. A succession of asteroid impacts? Again, no evidence. More wobbles in the sun's orbit? That didn't fit. In fact no one could account for what Ally had discovered. Except for one man who thought he could. Wally Broecker is the guru of climate science. He was convinced that it was all to do with the oceans.

Prof WALLY BROECKER (Columbia University): I'm convinced that the ocean is at the core of the whole thing. The trigger lies in the ocean.

NARRATOR: Broecker's attention was drawn to one ocean current in particular, the gulf stream. Britain bathes in its heat. It begins south of the equator and as it flows along the gulf of Mexico it absorbs heat from the tropics. It continues on past the coast of Britain.

Prof WALLY BROECKER: It's roughly equal to all the rain in the world. Fifteen million cubic meters per second.

NARRATOR: The current carries the heat of a million power stations. It means we can swim in the sea at the same latitudes that Canada has polar bears. But the most important thing about it happens further north. It sinks.

Prof WALLY BROECKER: When it gets up in to the northern regions of the Atlantic, cooled and make denser and it sinks in to the deep sea and goes back the other way.

NARRATOR: This sinking is caused by salt in the water. When the salty water cools near Greenland it becomes so dense that it plummets to the bottom of the ocean. The water then heads back south to where the gulf stream began, and the whole process begins again. It's a continuously circulating belt of water and heat, that's why it's called the conveyor. The sinking off Greenland is vital, this is what keeps Britain forever warm. So Wally began to speculate what would happen if the conveyor ceased to flow. Could that explain those dramatic falls in temperature? Trouble was most scientists were convinced that the oceans never changed at all.

NARRATOR: To his surprise he found massive variations in the composition of the shells. In other words at times in the past the conveyor must have switched off. When this work was published Wally Broecker knew exactly what it meant. It was the clue he had been looking for.

NARRATOR: So he put it all together. The huge drops in temperature seen in the Greenland ice, the shells that said the conveyor had been cut off, they had to be connected.

Prof WALLY BROECKER: Well it was, it was this merging two parts of my science, the understanding of the ocean and the understanding of the climate. It popped in to my head that one way you could do that would be by turning on and off the what's now called the conveyor belt, the deep water formation in the north Atlantic. And so I got the idea well hell if you turned that on and off or up and down, that could make at least in Europe very large climate changes.

NARRATOR: And if it had happened before it could happen again. And if it did Britain would be plunged in to a bitterly cold climate. But then someone pointed out one obvious flaw in the theory. This isn't the age of global cooling but of global warming. Eight of the ten warmest years on record fell in the last decade. Climate experts are predicting temperatures to rise faster than at any time since the last ice age.

BILL KRABILL : There's definitely changes taking place here, all over the margin of the Greenland ice sheet it is thinning. It's equivalent to fifty cubic kilometres of ice and snow that are disappearing off the Greenland ice sheet each year.

NARRATOR: This fifty gigotonnes of water melting from Greenland was the first evidence that global warming might be effecting the ice sheet here. But one change really shocked them. They started to measure one of the island's biggest glaciers.

BOB THOMAS: Less than ten years ago, five years ago, it was moving at about six, seven kilometres per year. And that was more or less in balance with the snowfall. Now in the five years since then the speed is almost doubled.

NARRATOR: NASA have recently doubled their estimates of how much fresh water is coming off Greenland. To a hundred cubic kilometres per year. And much of that fresh water is flowing towards the sinking zone of the conveyor. Scientists began to wonder just what could be the effect of all that fresh water on the conveyor. They began to realise that because the conveyor was driven by the salty water sinking then too much fresh water would dilute the salt and so if the salt was diluted too much the conveyor wouldn't sink.

Dr TERRY JOYCE (Woods Hole Oceanographic Inst.): What's amazing about this is that how well fine tuned the system is. Where only a one percent chance in the salinities maybe significant, may tip us over in to this regime where the water is too fresh at higher altitudes to sink and the conveyor will stop.

NARRATOR: Cut off the conveyor and a climate catastrophe would happen. The only question was just how much fresh water would it take. The truth is that no one quite knows. What they do know is that Greenland isn't the half of it. There is another even bigger source of fresh water heading straight for the sinking zone. Predictions are that global warming will lead to a much wetter world, because warm air can hold more moisture. And when it heads north and cools it should lead to more rain. In 2000 a team of American scientists travelled to Siberia. They studied the effects of global warming on some of the biggest rivers in the world.

NARRATOR: The rivers collect rain that has fallen over a vast area of land. They already carry nearly twenty times the amount of fresh water towards the sinking zone, then drains from the ice in Greenland. Peterson wanted to find out if global warming had led to more water in these rivers. The warming in the last hundred years is only about half a degree. He measured how the flow of water had changed.

NARRATOR: It's a horrifying prospect. A fifty percent increase in some of the world's biggest rivers.
If Peterson's projections are true a vast wall of fresh water will soon come flooding through northern Siberia. An extra thousand cubic kilometres a year more could flow in to the salty waters of the conveyor. The impact could be immense. And that was the warning that Bill Turrell had seen in the deep. He's been monitoring the saltiness of the conveyor as it flows past the Faro Isles north of Scotland.

NARRATOR: Turrell had measured the largest and most dramatic change recorded in the era of modern instruments.
And there was worse. He took measurements from the very bottom of the ocean, from the return leg of the conveyor. Its flow had fallen by a massive twenty percent.

DR BILL TURRELL: It's the first changes that we'd expect to see if we thought that global warming was beginning to effect the conveyor belt. Er a few years ago I probably wouldn't have said that because global warming was far more iffy, it wasn't so significant, it wasn't so certain. Now we really do know that fresh water input to the Arctic is increasing. The Siberian rivers are pumping out more fresh water. The Arctic ice sheets are melting and there is more release of fresh water. It, it's the most fundamental change I've observed in my career.

NARRATOR: The process that could cut off the conveyor has begun. We don't know where the cut off point is, we just know we're getting closer to it.

NARRATOR: And there is a final twist to these scenarios. Switching the conveyor off can happen at speed. But switching it back on is altogether harder.

TERRY JOYCE: We're moving along and suddenly we drop down, how do we switch it back on? Well we would have to climb this cliff. There's an enormous amount of energy required to climb that cliff.

I managed to find the original article on this Gulf Stream problem, which I read some years ago. I believe it gives a clearer truth than anything we are being told. I hope it makes sense to you?
[this info was released July 19, 2004]

 "One of the first hints that something may be different than what we are being told (especially in the US) was published in Discover magazine in September 2002 with the cover announcing "Global Warming Surprise, A New Ice Age", "Oceanographers have discovered a huge river of fresh water in the Atlantic formed by melting polar ice. They warn it could soon bury the Gulf Stream, plunging North America and Europe into frigid winters."

"... in January 2004 enter Sir David King. Sir King is the Prime Minister of England's chief scientist. Sir King went to Mr. Blair and told him of the impending worldwide disaster and that they needed to tell the world of what was about to happen.
Tony Blair told Sir David King to be quiet and not speak.

But Sir King felt that this was simply too important for him to say nothing, so in January of this year he deliberately went around Mr. Blair and went straight to the American journal Science where he published his information and concern. Sir King said in this article, "In my view, climate change is the most severe problem we are facing today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism." England placed a gag order on Sir David King, and now he is not even allowed to discuss this subject publicly without threat of detention.
 "Scientist 'gagged' by No 10 after warning of global warming threat"
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/environment/story.jsp?story=499013
 "Andrew Marshall, says that this Gulf Stream problem is a greater threat to US national security (and other countries') than all of the world's combined terrorism. Really, when you think about it, terrorism is nothing compared to the stopping of the Gulf Stream. It's not even close."

In the Pentagon report they said that they believed that the stoppage of the Gulf Stream would probably happen in three to five years *** FROM *** October 2003. This was their best guess, and admittedly it was only a guess and a theory.

But what they didn't know, because it was beginning at the actual time of their release of their report, was that the Gulf Stream was beginning to change shape. The change of shape of the Gulf Stream is the beginning of the breakdown and stoppage of this warm water current... I have this information from two sources, both of which do not wish to be named right now, but both of them are world famous scientists."
