    Brave mom exposes vaccine corruption to Washington State Board of Health
    Posted by: Dena Schmidt, staff writer in Vaccine Dangers August 24, 2018
    https://www.naturalhealth365.com/vac...dule-2675.html

    "(NaturalHealth365) "Bernadette Pajer of Informed Choice Washington gave an impassioned speech to the WA Board of Health regarding a terrifying vaccine industry initiative: a large and highly organized network involving public health groups and big pharma wish to force vaccines on every adult and an immunization schedule on every child.

    The vaccine industry is working hard (behind closed doors) to vaccinate as many people as possible. Sadly, the right to refuse vaccinations is viewed as an ‘obstacle’ by the pharmaceutical industry and conventional medicine.

    But, Bernadette Pajer reveals the true nature of big pharma and vaccine policy makers – which will shock most uninformed people.
    Bernadette Pajer called out immunization program head Michelle Roberts and the heads of every state in the U.S. on their involvement in this ghastly initiative, which she called “a mission to remove our human right to medical choice” and silence the truth about vaccine side effects and limitations.
    Advocacy groups met with silence when trying to discuss vaccine side effects and vaccine dangers
    The immunization program heads are pushing this agenda with full the collaboration and support of big drug companies like Merck, Pfizer, Glaxo Smith Kline and many others.

    Pajer shared that Informed Choice Washington has been trying to get the word out about vaccine side effects as well as immune system problems to the public health agencies of Washington state. The goal of the group is to foster discussion and better conditions for consumers of all ages.

    Instead of openness and cooperation, she was astonished to find a tightly organized, unreceptive network with literally thousands of components working toward one goal: to increase vaccination uptake at any cost.

    Washington Board of Health is one of many groups downplaying unwanted vaccine side effects
    She notes that since 1999, the Association for Immunization Managers (AIM) has been working closely with the pharmaceutical industry toward this goal. She laments that the efforts of her group and others like it to work with these agencies on education and improvement are either met with disdain or completely ignored.

    Instead, programs are in place and conferences held to further the agenda of getting the highest numbers of vaccine acceptance possible. There are even seminars given to medical professionals on how to handle “vaccine hesitancy” and “compel” patients (and parents) to accept vaccines – even if their misgivings are valid.

    She is alarmed at the coordinated effort of these groups – and you should be, too.

    The list of vaccine side effects is long and well-documented. They include autism, cognitive problems, compromised immunity, chronic headaches plus many other issues.

    Vaccine adjuvants like aluminum, chromium and mercury are known neurotoxins that are doing underreported damage to the brain – especially in young and developing children.

    Also, despite widespread vaccine use, incidents of many diseases are actually higher. Cancer rates and infectious diseases are still a major concern – despite the widespread use of vaccines.

    With so many vaccine dangers, it is beyond alarming that there is a highly organized network in place with the agenda of pushing vaccines – without adequate testing or safety data.

    Bernadette Pajer should be applauded for speaking out, and hopefully her example will inspire many others to do the same."

    What The $289 Million Verdict Against Monsanto Means To You
    https://foodrevolution.org/blog/mons...wayne-johnson/


    Long article, but very informative, well worth reading and sharing. (Bold letters my own emphasis.)

    "A California jury ordered Monsanto to pay a terminally ill groundskeeper $289 million. Learn why this Monsanto lawsuit matters to you and how you can take action to help create safer communities.

    On August 10th, 2018, Dewayne Johnson, a 46-year-old man facing a terminal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis, won a massive victory in a landmark case.

    Johnson had used Monsanto’s Roundup up to 30 times per year while working as a groundskeeper in a California school district. The California jury determined that the weed killer caused Mr. Johnson’s cancer and that the pesticide-maker failed to warn him of the health hazards from his exposure.

    The jury ordered Monsanto (which merged with Bayer in June 2018 to create an enormous agrochemical and pharmaceutical company) to pay Mr. Johnson a total of $289 million.

    Dewayne Johnson vs. Monsanto: Why Monsanto Lost
    This case was particularly noteworthy because the judge allowed Johnson’s team to present scientific arguments about what caused his cancer, as well as claims that Monsanto suppressed evidence that showed the risks of its weed-killing products.

    During the extensive trial, the plaintiff’s attorneys brought forward internal emails from Monsanto executives. The emails demonstrated how the corporation repeatedly ignored experts’ warnings, sought favorable scientific analyses, and helped “ghostwrite” research that encouraged continued usage.

    The jury found Monsanto to be responsible for “negligent failure” and declared that the company knew or should have known that its product was “dangerous.”

    What Happens Now That There’s a Verdict?
    Monsanto, of course, disagreed with the ruling and plans to appeal. It will likely be years before a final settlement is reached.

    And it seems unlikely that Dewayne Johnson will live long enough to receive any money because doctors have told him he only has months to live. However, the husband and father of three said he hopes his suffering will not be in vain. He also hopes labels will change so that, in the future, people like him won’t be left to risk their lives without a warning if they’re using a product that causes cancer in humans.

    As Monsanto’s new owner, Bayer might be having some mixed feelings about its recent $66 billion purchase. The company, which plans to discontinue use of the Monsanto name, is not only acquiring all of Monsanto’s assets but also its liabilities. The day after the August 10th ruling, Bayer’s stock price dropped by 12%.

    With the precedent of this court case, the burden is now on Monsanto / Bayer to prove that Roundup is safe.

    If they fail to do so, subsequent courts will uphold the ruling, and Mr. Johnson’s case could be only the beginning.

    In fact, there are now more than 8,000 lawsuits like Mr. Johnson’s that are currently moving through the courts.

    Can the company successfully defend and appeal all of them? And will Mr. Johnson’s victory open the floodgates to even more cases?

    Monsanto Defends the Safety of Its Products
    Monsanto Lawsuit: What the $289 Million Verdict Means to You

    Following the trial, Monsanto vice president Scott Partridge reaffirmed that there was no link between glyphosate (the main active ingredient in Roundup) and cancer.

    He declared that the “verdict doesn’t change the four-plus decades of safe use and science behind the product.”

    But the World Health Organization disagrees.

    In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) ruled that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

    The Shocking Ways Monsanto Fought Back Against the IARC
    Glyphosate’s maker, Monsanto, didn’t like the decision of the IARC and set out to undermine the WHO and its ruling.

    As IARC explains and documents:

    “Following the classification of glyphosate in March 2015 as probably carcinogenic to humans […] IARC has been the target of an unprecedented number of orchestrated actions by stakeholders seeking to undermine its credibility. In the interest of transparency, IARC has documented some of these instances, and our responses can be found on the Agency’s Governance website.”

    Monsanto, it seems, has crossed major ethical and potentially even legal lines in order to keep its product’s reputation from being undermined.


    Bloomberg reports that the company “was its own ghostwriter for some safety reviews,” and an EPA official reportedly helped Monsanto “kill” another agency’s cancer study.

    An investigation in Le Monde details Monsanto’s effort “to destroy the United Nations’ cancer agency by any means possible” to save glyphosate.

    Reporter, 2018 Food Revolution Summit speaker, and former Reuters senior correspondent, Carey Gillam writes:

    “Monsanto and its chemical industry allies have spent decades actively working to confuse and deceive consumers, farmers, regulators, and lawmakers about the risks associated with glyphosate-based herbicides. As they’ve suppressed the risks, they’ve trumpeted the rewards and pushed use of this weed killer to historically high levels.

    The evidence that has come to light from Monsanto’s own internal documents, combined with data and documents from regulatory agencies, could not be more clear: It is time for public officials across the globe to act to protect public health and not corporate profits.”


    How Much Roundup Is Used on Our Food?


    Monsanto has come up with (and Bayer is inheriting) a fairly ingenious business model.

    The company genetically engineers seeds that are resistant to its famed herbicide, Roundup. This means farmers growing Roundup-resistant crops can spray their fields with this chemical, and the weeds will die — but the crops will not.

    Before the invention of genetically engineered Roundup Ready seeds, no one ever consumed weed killer, because no one ever sprayed these toxic chemicals on food crops. To do so would have killed the plants.

    But now, thanks to genetic engineering, Roundup is being sprayed directly on food crops destined for human consumption.

    This method has created a historically unprecedented reality: The vast majority of us are now eating weed killer on a daily basis.

    And the amounts are enormous. In 1987, the United States was using 11 million pounds of Roundup. Today, the United States applies nearly 300 million pounds of Roundup each year.

    This chemical is also being sprayed on 89% of U.S. corn crops and 94% of soybeans.

    Worldwide, there have been 9.4 million tons of Roundup used on fields growing our food. That’s more than two pounds for every single human on Earth!

    On August 15th, Environmental Working Group released results of a report finding elevated levels of glyphosate in 31 out of 45 breakfast cereal samples tested. The contaminated samples included Cheerios, Quaker Oats, and other breakfast foods that could increase cancer risk for children.

    Dr. Jennifer Lowry, head of the Council on Environmental Health for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said she was “shocked […] We don’t know a lot about the effects of glyphosate on children, and essentially we’re just throwing it at them.”

    How To Avoid GMOs and Glyphosate in Your Food


    Organically grown foods are, by definition, non-GMO and grown without the use of glyphosate. So if you want to avoid GMOs and glyphosate, choosing organic is more important than ever.
    (Find out more about the difference between non-GMO and organic food labels here.)


    But not everyone can afford to go organic. If that’s the case for you, it may be comforting to know that most fruits and vegetable are still not being genetically engineered or sprayed with glyphosate. Also, it can help to know which non-organic foods are likely to contain them.


    The major crops that are genetically modified are:

    Corn, much of which is fed to livestock and used for ethanol for our cars but is also used in many refined foods
    Soy, also often turned into animal feed, though much of it is processed and eaten by people in the form of refined foods
    Sugar beets, which supply about half the sugar in the U.S., and almost all of which are genetically modified (though cane sugar is not genetically modified)
    Canola, mostly used for canola oil
    Alfalfa, used primarily as animal feed, and
    Cotton, mostly used for clothing as well as for cottonseed oil
    But keep in mind that corn and soy, in particular, are used as the raw ingredients for all sorts of food additives.

    These include:

    Aspartame, sodium ascorbate, and vitamin C,
    Citric acid, sodium citrate, ethanol, and natural flavorings,
    Artificial flavorings, high fructose corn syrup, and hydrolyzed vegetable protein,
    Lactic acid, maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate, and
    Sucralose, textured vegetable protein (also known as TVP), and xanthan gum.
    If a product isn’t certified organic or certified non-GMO, and if it has more than a few ingredients, there’s a pretty good chance that it contains GMOs.

    And now, some new GMO crops are beginning to be grown more widely, including Hawaiian papayas. Some Canadian farmed salmon is genetically engineered, though it only makes up a relatively small portion of the overall salmon for sale. And across North America, we have increasing amounts of genetically engineered zucchini, summer squash, apples, and potatoes coming on the market.

    Most, but not all, GMO crops have been engineered to withstand herbicides. Some also produce their own insecticides in every cell of the plant, while a few GMO crops have other traits. For example, genetically engineered salmon grow much faster than normal salmon, thus saving farmers money (and potentially opening the floodgates to a host of unintended consequences).

    And It’s Not Just GMOs You Need to Be Concerned About
    Until recently, you could avoid eating Roundup and its primary active ingredient, glyphosate, by steering clear of GMOs. But now, the equation’s become more complicated.

    It’s now become more common to use glyphosate as a desiccant. The herbicide is being sprayed on crops that are not genetically engineered in order to dry them out before harvest.

    These crops include wheat (the primary culprit), as well as barley and oats. And the practice seems to be spreading now to include some legumes, sunflower seeds, and potatoes.

    These foods could be “non-GMO” and still be sprayed with glyphosate. If you don’t want to eat glyphosate, then it’s best to choose organically grown versions of these crops.

    How You Can Take Action to Help Create Safer Communities
    If you are concerned about the spread of glyphosate into our food supply and our environment, now is the time to take action.

    The truth is, it’s easier to change the world than you might think!

    Here are seven steps you can take:

    Help get Roundup and toxins out of your community. Parks, streets, sidewalks, parking lots, schools, daycare facilities, universities, sports fields, and playgrounds are being sprayed with Roundup in many communities. Mom’s Across America has launched a campaign with videos, training, petitions, and more. Find out more about the campaign and how you can help here. Beyond Pesticides also offers tools for change. See their resources here.
    Use a template letter to reach out to your local council. Low Tox Life has a resource you can use to reach out to your local council about the safety of pesticides and herbicides used during maintenance and landscaping of local gardens, fields, parks, and bus stops. Get the template here.
    Learn and share alternatives to glyphosate for landscaping. Check out this University of Maryland report on natural weed-killing alternatives.
    Create safer lawns and landscapes. Beyond Pesticides provides resources for nontoxic lawns and landscapes. Get more info here.
    Sign the petition to get U.S. schools to stop using Roundup. Organic Consumers Organization has launched a petition to tell the National School Boards Association to ban Roundup. Sign the petition here.https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/te...ational-school
    Take action if you believe you or your family have been harmed by Roundup. The law firm Marcus & Mack is helping people get their time in court. Find out more and ask for a free consultation here.
    Get informed and spread the word! Knowledge is power, and knowledge turned into action can shift the course of history. For more knowledge and power, check out my forthcoming book, 31-Day Food Revolution, here.
    It’s Time for a Change
    The Dewayne Johnson vs. Monsanto lawsuit has ignited a firestorm of attention to the hazards of Roundup, and communities around the world are beginning to take action.

    The State of California has already declared Roundup to be a chemical known to cause cancer and is fighting to mandate warning labels on all Roundup sold in the state. (Monsanto / Bayer is fighting back, and the case is still in the courts.) And now two California cities, Novato and Dewayne Johnson’s hometown of Benicia, are going Roundup-free.

    Novato Mayor Josh Friday commented, “There’s a saying that you put your money behind your values and in our community, we value the environment, we value protecting our children.”

    Monsanto / Bayer is a huge company. It controls 23% of the world’s seed supply, with deep pockets and enormous political influence. But the big cigarette companies were pretty powerful a couple generations ago, too. And then the truth got out, and in the last 50 years, cigarette consumption has fallen by more than 60%.

    My prediction: The fall of glyphosate won’t take 50 years. Not even close.

    But what happens might depend, in part, on you."

    Good grief! I bought a bottle of MMS and some citric acid a few years ago and did the recommended protocol for awhile. It was very inexpensive then, but I was just price checking it today and found on eBay it's &84.95 for 2 fluid ounces of both. I thought increased demand was supposed to make prices go down! Can anyone recommend a good source that isn't so expensive?
    I found a 4 oz bottle here: https://www.mms-supplement.com/cds.html which says this solution" DOES NOT require on site activation prior to use, as the product is already completely activated (unlike traditional MMS). The CDS solution is made via the process of bubbling active chlorine dioxide gas through a base of slightly saline solution until complete saturation takes place - therefore NO FURTHER ACTIVATION is required."
    When I used MMS before, the taste was awful and I felt like I was taking bleach (I know that's not what it actually is, but it tasted like it.) This new version is not supposed to taste like that, which is good, but I wonder if this is what is being recommended. Does anyone here who is up to date have input? Thanks.

    Rather than using eBay for this, I'd go to the Genesis II Church website for their list of MMS providers: http://genesis2church.ch/mms/providers. I'd expect more reliable product, for less money, from some of these providers.

    I would be concerned that the pre-mixed CDS solution (already activated) might have a substantially shorter shelf life, but I don't recall the details now.

    It's been a while since I did much with MMS, but my recollection is that the taste is due to the impurities in the sodium chlorite that end up in the final solution, and that making your own chlorine dioxide solution by collecting chlorine dioxide gas as it outgasses during the reaction produces a nearly tasteless, odorless CDS, and can be done using the lower cost raw materials - sodium chlorite (dry) flakes and citric acid powder. This produces what might be the best product, for the lowest cost, but is quite a bit more complicated procedure.

    See my 2014 post for more details on this procedure, to make CDS from the raw, dry powder, ingredients: MMS - tasteless and odourless. the new CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) -- Post #44

    The outgassed chlorine dioxide is nasty to breath, and in sufficient concentrations, explosive. So not only is the above procedure more complicated, but it can also be risky. I recall having a nasty lung inflammation for a couple of days, from breathing too much of the stuff once, before I got the procedure working well.

    Thanks Paul. I read the thread from your post #44 to the end, and I was confused, so I went back to the beginning of the thread and read more, and now I am even more confused. Chemistry is not my strong suit!
    As I recall the protocol used to be a simple matter of adding a drop of one solution to a drop of another solution and drinking it with juice.
    That I can do, but I definitely am not going to set up equipment in my kitchen and try to make my own solution. They are selling sodium chlorate here: http://www.atlantishealingcenter.com...st-popular.htm though they advertise it as being part of a MMS kit, along with a hydrochloric acid solution.
    And they are selling MMS2 65% Cal Hypo Powder (calcium hypochlorite) here:
    http://www.atlantishealingcenter.com...s2-tablets.htm
    ..also MMS1 Kits w/ HCL Activator + 1 - DMSO + 1 - Spray Bottle
    So now I have too many choices.
    I watched the video in post 184, and what prompted me to think about taking MMS again was the discussion about glysophate and how it's likely all of us have too much of it in our bodies now, so my objective was to address that. Can anyone help me narrow it down? Thanks!

    As I recall the protocol used to be a simple matter of adding a drop of one solution to a drop of another solution and drinking it with juice.
    For non-chemists in America, I'd recommend starting with the first option on this page: http://www.discovermms.com

    The description for that option, from that page, reads:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    Sodium Chlorite Solution (SCS) & Activator Solution Set

    Use one drop of 50% citric acid solution OR 4% HCL acid solution for each drop of SCS. SCS is 22.4% strength, which is made with 28% of flakes containing 80% technical grade Sodium Chlorite. It will keep an estimated (not guaranteed) 2+ years when stored in an air-tight container in a dark, cool and dry place. Use as directed. See our report on safe and effective household uses of SCS. Each set includes:

    1 - 4 fluid Oz. bottle of Sodium Chlorite Solution (SCS) with dropper cap. Ingredients: 28% Sodium Chlorite, distilled water.
    1 - 4 fluid Oz. bottle of activator with dropper cap. Your choice of 99.9% pure, food grade 50% citric acid solution (Ingredients: 50% citric acid, distilled water) OR 4% HCL acid solution (Ingredients: hydrochloric acid, distilled water). (Why use citric acid or HCL acid?).
    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    I am used to using the Citric Acid option, not the HCL option, but apparently it doesn't matter much. The One Set w/Citric - $18.99 option on the pull down menu for that product will get you two bottles, one bottle with one of the ingredients, and the other bottle with the other ingredient. Put the same number of drops from both bottles together and let them react (bubble and turn yellowish) for 30 to 60 seconds, then add several ounces (or more, doesn't matter) of your choice of water or fruit juice, which will stop the reaction and make it (somewhat) more drinkable. Start with one drop of each, and then perhaps build up the dosage, two drops of each bottle, then three, and so on.

    The above vendor that I linked, http://www.discovermms.com, comes from the list of recommended vendors at the http://genesis2church.ch/mms/providers link that I gave in my previous post.

    I have a pair of those bottles myself, in my refrigerator, that I bought probably 3 or 4 years ago, and they still seem to work fine to create the desired reaction.

    I watched the video in post 184, and what prompted me to think about taking MMS again was the discussion about glysophate and how it's likely all of us have too much of it in our bodies now, so my objective was to address that. Can anyone help me narrow it down? Thanks!
    I had the same idea, from listening to Stephanie Seneff in that video. She's awesome, and her suggestion that MMS (chlorine dioxide) might neutralize glyphosate in the gut seemed quite plausible to me.

    She doesn't say it, but I suppose that MMS might also neutralize glyphosate in liquid ingredients used in cooking, such as bread batters ... but that would involve some experimentation and a wee bit of chemistry to work out the practical details.

    Rounding Up Glyphosate: Toxicity Known Since the 80’s—So Why Weren’t We Protected?

    By Brian S. Hooker, Science Advisor, Focus for Health and Board Member, World Mercury Project

    "The pesticide glyphosate, also known by its trade name Round-Up®, has been in the news recently due to a lawsuit filed against agriculture giant Monsanto by a school district employee who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma while using glyphosate weed killer as a part of his work. The plaintiff in the case, DeWayne Johnson, was recently awarded $289.2 million in damages from Monsanto, including a $250 million penalty against the company for punitive damages. This is a huge victory for the plaintiff and his legal team, which included Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has contributed much to the debate surrounding environmental causes of chronic illness and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. An estimated additional 4000 cases have been filed in U.S. courts claiming that exposure to glyphosate has caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

    Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer Round-Up®, is the most widely produced herbicide in the world today.
    Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer Round-Up®, is the most widely produced herbicide in the world today. The compound has an analogous structure to the amino acid glycine, which is a common building block for large, physiologically relevant proteins in nature. Glyphosate was originally purported for use as an herbicide because it inhibits growth and metabolism by disrupting biochemical pathways in plants – pathways that do not exist in humans or other animals. For that reason, scientists hypothesized that it would not be toxic to humans, but instead would kill plants and plants alone.

    The key feature that enhanced the commercial appeal of glyphosate was the advent of genetically modified crop plants, such as Round-Up Ready® corn and soybeans, which were introduced in the U.S. in 1996. These crops are engineered to resist the effects of glyphosate and are able to grow in its presence. In this manner, glyphosate can be sprayed liberally on these crops for weed control without damaging the crop itself.

    Today, glyphosate-tolerant crops include varieties of corn, soybeans, cotton, canola, sugar beet and alfalfa, among others. Over 90% of all soybeans and over 70% of all corn grown in the U.S. are genetically modified, with the majority of these plants specifically possessing glyphosate tolerance. These crops may be treated with much higher levels of glyphosate than those that predate the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and consequently, people are being exposed to this herbicide through the food supply. Other non-GMO crops such as oats and wheat are also sprayed with glyphosate to cause the plants to dry faster for harvesting.

    An independent, FDA-approved analytical laboratory (Anresco) tested 29 common food substances in the U.S. diet and found alarming levels of glyphosate in such brands as Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, Oreos and Doritos, among others. Levels found in Cheerios were greater than one part per million (i.e., 1 milligram per kilogram food substance).https://www.ecowatch.com/monsanto-gl...093130379.html Glyphosate has also been detected in the urine of cattle at levels up to 146 parts per million and in organ meat of cattle up to 108 parts per million. https://www.omicsonline.org/open-acc...25.1000210.pdf In this same analysis, it was shown that both humans and animals fed organic (GMO-free) diets excrete substantially lower levels of glyphosate in their urine.

    Human vaccines have also been shown to contain glyphosate. Moms Across America has reported levels as high as 2.6 parts per billion (as determined by independent testing laboratory, Microbe Inotech Laboratories, Inc., St. Louis, MO) in the MMR-II vaccine, with all other vaccines tested showing at least detectable levels of glyphosate. https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/gl...dhood_vaccines This isn’t unexpected, given that vaccines are manufactured using bovine and pork-based cell culture products derived from livestock that may have consumed grain-based feed with the allowable level of glyphosate at 400 parts per million. Although glyphosate levels in vaccines are up to 1000 times lower than that in food substances, one must consider that vaccines are directly injected into the body, meaning that 100% of the herbicide is directly absorbed into the recipient’s tissues. Additionally, vaccines contain other substances like adjuvants and surfactants which can hasten the uptake of glyphosate into cells.

    In a survey of the open literature, there are over 200 scientific papers covering the toxicity of glyphosate in human tissues
    Glyphosate at current environmental levels has exhibited an “estrogenic” effect on human breast cancer cells, meaning that it essentially enhanced the growth of certain types of tumor cells. Another publication by Mesnage et al. 2015 revealed that glyphosate levels in the range of the acceptable daily intake causes chronic health effects including teratogenic, tumorigenic, and hepatorenal effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26282372 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23756170 The authors hypothesize that adjuvants in the pesticide that enhance the toxicity and uptake of glyphosate by plants also augment the toxic effect of glyphosate in humans. This would serve to invalidate any previous safety study completed on glyphosate alone, which would be meaningless unless all the pesticide components were present.

    Clear evidence that specific formulations which include glyphosate are toxic to human cells at concentrations deemed safe for human consumption in the U.S. was available as early as 2009 (Gasnier et al. 2009). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19539684 These formulations were shown to cause endocrine disruption, cellular toxicity, and DNA damage. Another study linked glyphosate exposure to occupational lung disease (Kumar et al. 2014). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25172162 Perhaps the most impactful study completed to date, termed the “Global Glyphosate Study“, was completed by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy and was published in May 2018 in the journal Environmental Healt. https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/...940-018-0393-y Within this study, laboratory rats were fed 1.75 mg of glyphosate per kg body weight each day (the U.S. EPA acceptable daily intake) over a 13-week time period. Changes were seen, as compared to the control group of animals, in biochemical parameters related to sexual development, genotoxicity, and the alteration of the intestinal microbiome.

    Monsanto brings in approximately $5 billion annual revenues related to glyphosate and has been shown to have undue influence over the federal government regarding its toxicity.
    Given myriad studies showing harm to human tissues by glyphosate and glyphosate-containing herbicide formulations, it seems reasonable to severely limit human exposure to this substance. In fact, in 2015, glyphosate was added to the list of probable human carcinogens by the World Health Organization after a review of its current toxicology literature. However, Monsanto, agriculture industry insiders, and even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) repeatedly claim that “glyphosate is safe.” In 2017, the U.S. EPA rejected the notion of glyphosate toxicity despite the warnings by the World Health Organization. Following the history of the EPA’s position on glyphosate, it was first classified as a suspected human carcinogen in 1985, then delisted in 1991 due to the EPA’s new position that glyphosate was considered non-carcinogenic. In the state of California, glyphosate has also been a thorny issue, where for the latter part of 2017 the herbicide was listed as possibly carcinogenic, until a federal judge temporarily struck down the state’s warning in February 2018, just to later have that decision overturned.

    Monsanto brings in approximately $5 billion annual revenues related to glyphosate and has been shown to have undue influence over the federal government regarding its toxicity. One report suggests that the EPA delisted glyphosate as a suspected human carcinogen in 1991 to ready the agricultural market for the eventual introduction of Round-Up Ready® (glyphosate resistant) crops. In 2013, Congress shockingly enacted what has been called the “Monsanto Protection Act” as a part of a federal spending bill, which barred federal courts from halting the sale of genetically modified crops (such as Round-Up Ready® crops) regardless of any existing or new science showing safety concerns. https://www.ibtimes.com/monsanto-pro...vision-1156079 Many of the representatives voting on the spending bill did not even know of the provision, which was written by Monsanto lobbyists along with Congressional representatives including Roy Blunt (R-MO). Fortunately, the act was repealed about 6 months later.

    Court documents in the Dewayne Johnson case have shown that Monsanto exerted undue influence over EPA deputy director Jess Rowland, who chaired a committee that found insufficient evidence to conclude glyphosate is carcinogenic and left his job just days after his report was leaked to the press in May 2016.

    As a society, our food supply and even our vaccines are awash in glyphosate, which should be of grave concern. One study has shown that 93% of individuals tested in the U.S. show levels of glyphosate in their urine. https://www.ecowatch.com/glyphosate-...891146755.html Average levels of glyphosate in urine of children in this study eclipsed 3.5 parts per billion. This is highly disconcerting given that another study https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/...940-015-0056-1 shows glyphosate-related damage to the liver and kidneys of rats at levels as low as 0.05 parts per billion. Despite all this evidence, the U.S. EPA sticks to their claim that glyphosate is safe for consumption. As is the case with vaccines and other medical products, with our food supply, we simply cannot trust our government to tell us what is safe to put in our bodies.

    Children’s Health Defense Will Tackle the “Avalanche of Unprecedented Health Epidemics” in Children
    SEPTEMBER 13, 2018
    (Many more hyperlinks in this article)
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...urce=mailchimp

    By the Children’s Health Defense Team

    "There is no greater crisis facing our world today than the chronic disease epidemic that has sabotaged the health of our children. To date, WMP’s advocacy work has focused primarily on the toxic effects of mercury – one of the most neurotoxic substances on Earth – and the epidemic of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, plaguing our children. Recent research has documented that not only has autism dramatically increased, but our children are the sickest generation ever with over half suffering with a life-long chronic disease.

    Children born in the 1990s and early 2000’s diagnosed with autism, were the tip of the iceberg with regard to injury and mercury is just one of many harmful exposures fueling the chronic childhood health conditions and injuries we see today. In response to this knowledge, World Mercury Project is changing both its name and the focus of its advocacy efforts.

    As the new name implies, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), has a bigger, bolder mission to end the childhood health epidemics by:

    Exposing causes and eliminating harmful exposures
    Holding those responsible accountable
    Seeking justice for the injured and
    Establishing safeguards to ensure this never happens again
    CHD has the same dedicated staff and board with Chairman, Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Vice Chairman, JB Handley leading our efforts. The organization will continue to publish its popular online newsletter Kennedy News and Views. And, followers on social media will automatically be switched over to the new Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts in the next couple of days.

    “Our children’s ability to develop and thrive is being sabotaged by an avalanche of unprecedented health epidemics now affecting 54% of our children. This is unacceptable,” said Mr. Kennedy.
    The facts are sobering: Autism rates are as high as one in 28 boys in some states, one in six children has a learning or behavioral disorder, one in every nine children has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and 13% of kids in public school receive special education services. Food allergies, including severe anaphylactic reactions, increased 50% from 1997 to 2011. Last year over 15,000 children were diagnosed with cancer. There is an epidemic of autoimmune illnesses like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and eczema and half of U.S. adolescents have suffered from a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder. U.S. kids are 70% more likely to die before adulthood than kids in other rich countries and America’s infant mortality is much higher than in peer nations. The social and emotional impact of these epidemics on children and their families are enormous as are the financial impacts on our educational and medical systems.

    In this video, Mr. Kennedy asks, “Why are our federal agencies not asking the essential question, ‘What is debilitating America’s children?’ We need to know that answer and we need to stop these exposures to our children today.”

    Generation Sick, a free CHD E-Book, details the childhood epidemics, the suspected environmental culprits and the steps needed to protect children. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/ebook-sign-up/

    To build awareness of the health problems facing the world’s children, CHD is asking everyone to tell their story with the hashtag #MyChildToo https://childrenshealthdefense.org/t...on/mychildtoo/ if they or a loved one suffers from a chronic disease or was injured by an environmental toxin or vaccine. The campaign gives parents and others affected by epidemics—including autism, ADHD, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and more—a platform to tell their stories of unnecessary and devastating injuries.

    CHD is planning multiple legal strategies in an effort to defend the health of our children and obtain justice for those already injured. Your support is essential to CHD’s successful mission.

    Action Alert

    From our friends at Children’s Health Defense, formerly World Mercury Project, a new free e-book by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Generation Sick: The Facts Behind the Children’s Health Crisis and Why It Needs to End

    " Children are the key to a successful future and a prosperous nation, yet American children have never been sicker with a vast array of chronic illnesses.

    In 2011 54% of children had at least one of 20 chronic health conditions;
    Life expectancy is falling, and infant mortality is rising. U.S. children are 76% more likely to die before their first birthday than infants in other wealthy countries;
    A study conducted from 2001-2004 found that half of U.S. youth (ages 13-18) had been diagnosed with at least one mental, emotional, and/or behavioral disorder;
    Top military leaders report seven in ten young Americans aged 17-24 are unfit to serve in the U.S. military because of obesity, asthma, hearing and eyesight problems and mental illness.
    Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has launched Children’s Health Defense to address this crisis because there is no other issue that more urgently requires our attention.

    This comprehensive report covers the chronic illnesses now affecting a majority of American children. You’ll learn the suspected environmental culprits—heavy metals, pesticides, fluoride, air pollutants, flame retardants, food additives— and the steps you need to take to protect your children and other loved ones now.

    Federal officials should be asking the essential question, “What is happening to America’s children?” And, everyone—parents and family, educators, health care and insurance providers, cutting-edge businesses that employ graduates and our country’s military—has a stake in finding the answers and the fight to restore our children’s health."

    Read more about the facts and the social impacts of the avalanche of chronic illnesses affecting over half of our nation’s children and what you can do to help RFK, Jr. and Children’s Health Defense in the movement to stop the epidemics.

    Good grief! I bought a bottle of MMS and some citric acid a few years ago and did the recommended protocol for awhile. It was very inexpensive then, but I was just price checking it today and found on eBay it's &84.95 for 2 fluid ounces of both. I thought increased demand was supposed to make prices go down! Can anyone recommend a good source that isn't so expensive?
    I found a 4 oz bottle here: https://www.mms-supplement.com/cds.html which says this solution" DOES NOT require on site activation prior to use, as the product is already completely activated (unlike traditional MMS). The CDS solution is made via the process of bubbling active chlorine dioxide gas through a base of slightly saline solution until complete saturation takes place - therefore NO FURTHER ACTIVATION is required."
    When I used MMS before, the taste was awful and I felt like I was taking bleach (I know that's not what it actually is, but it tasted like it.) This new version is not supposed to taste like that, which is good, but I wonder if this is what is being recommended. Does anyone here who is up to date have input? Thanks.
    Take a look at Andreas Kalcker as you may find his methods very useful. He has advanced the use of MMS and has several Youtube videos that are very informative. Citric acid is no longer recommended as it can cause problems. HCL is now used instead. Here is a link to his website protocols. All of the listed protocols are explained in the link below.

    So we can list the following protocols:

    protocol A: as Amateur it is for all beginner

    protocol B: as Basic which is equivalent to the old protocol 1000

    protocol C: as CDS the old protocol 101 (110)

    protocol D: as Dermatological for skin

    protocol E: as Enemas

    protocol F: as Frequent, the ancient viral protocol 115 CDS

    protocol G: as Gas, it is used only dioxide gas

    protocol H: as House prevent contagion,

    protocol I: as Insects and Stings

    protocol J : as Jaws & mouthwashing

    protocol K: as Kit combined with DMSO

    protocol M: as Malaria, high dose protocol

    protocol N: as Nipper or juNiors

    protocol O: as Ophthalmologists or Otolaryngology

    protocol P: as Parasites, intense protocol

    protocol Q: as Quick burn relieve

    protocol R: as Rectal with irrigant ball

    protocol S: as Sensible, at very slowly doses

    protocol T: as Terminal very serious illnesses

    protocol U: as Urgency, which is the old protocol 6 + 6 Clara

    protocol V: as Vaginal, using irrigation

    protocol W: as Wau!… also can be used to …

    protocol X: as detoX , it means to detoxify heavy metals

    protocol Y: as Your last chance-infusion of CDI

    protocol Z: as Zapper, frequencies therapy like Dr. Rife’s

    As I recall the protocol used to be a simple matter of adding a drop of one solution to a drop of another solution and drinking it with juice.

    I am used to using the Citric Acid option, not the HCL option, but apparently it doesn't matter much..
    As others have noted above, Andreas Kalcker is having better results with 4% HCL, instead of citric acid:

    Strange Bedfellows: GMO and Vaccine Partnerships

    By Dr. Mercola

    Over the years, I've written a number of articles outing industry front groups1 such as the Genetic Literacy Project, the American Council for Science and Health (ACSH),2 Science 2.0, GMO Answers, Independent Women's Forum, Science Codex, Center for Consumer Freedom and the Center for Inquiry.

    Once you start to investigate these front groups, you'll find the same names appearing again and again, cowriting articles, interviewing each other and referring to each other's work in a closed loop.

    I've also written about academics and journalists who, while presenting themselves as independent experts, are actually shills for industry. This is a fairly close-knit group of individuals, so the worst actors are not hard to identify based on their associations.

    Well-established actors include Forbes contributor Kavin Senapathy;3 Henry Miller; Steven Salzberg;4 Bruce Chassy, Jon Entine,5,6 Kevin Folta, Keith Kloor7 and Mark Lynas.

    Learn to Recognize Astroturfing When You See It
    In the TED Talk above, award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson discusses strategies used by industry to manipulate public opinion and steer online discussion.

    A strategy that has become phenomenally popular with the advent of social media is astroturfing, which is when a special interests group creates a fake grassroots campaign for or against a particular agenda. You might think it's a group of moms devoted to children's health that is touting the benefits of GMOs or vaccines, for example, when in fact the campaign is run by industry.

    Increasingly over the past year or so you may have seen a number of articles simultaneously criticizing both the "anti-vaxxers" and "anti-GMO movement," making contemptuous and sometimes wildly insulting comments about people who question the safety of either of these industries and their wares.

    While GMOs and vaccines may seem like strange bedfellows, the cross-linking of these two industries in propaganda material is neither accidental nor haphazard.

    Industry Messaging Example
    In a May 18, 2017, Forbes article,8 Senapathy (one well-known mouthpiece for the GMO industry) took aim at the "anti-vaccine and anti-GMO movements," saying they're "inextricably linked and cause preventable suffering."

    "The thoroughly answered question of whether vaccines cause autism isn't really a question outside of conspiracy-theorist circles," Senapathy writes.

    "The body of evidence shows that vaccination has … vastly reduced suffering and death … and that vaccines don't cause autism, cancer, dementia or long term health problems, and that any minute risk is vastly outweighed by benefits to individuals and society.

    Yet with the backing of prominent leaders like Robert DeNiro and Robert Kennedy Jr., anti-vaccine groups fuel common narratives that keep herd immunity down, directly leading to suffering and death.

    Now with Donald Trump embracing vaccine skeptics, the anti-vaccine movement has earned a hallowed place on the shelf next to other tinfoil hat clad schools of thought.

    The question of the safety of genetically engineered crops (GMOs) has been answered just as thoroughly, and the anti-GMO movement deserves its own place on the same shelf, not just for being wrong but for its role in unconscionable suffering …

    She goes on to point out how similar the communication tactics are between vaccine and GMO detractors. Ironically, her article reveals just as much if not more about the biotech and vaccine industries' messaging tactics. You can go through her article and check off numerous boxes for how to spot a piece of industry propaganda.

    That includes the claim that the science is settled (which automatically precludes the need for further discussion), citing a fellow industry shill (in this case Kloor), using strong, derogatory language when describing those who disagree with industry talking points, making ample references to "conspiracy theories" and "other tinfoil hat clad schools of thought."

    Seven Classic Propaganda Techniques
    Whenever you hear or read that someone is a "quack," and that "the science has been settled," or that something is "science-based," it's probably a smear campaign created by an astroturf group, industry front group or paid shill. In fact, the seven techniques of propaganda have been clearly delineated and are used without exception by most industries. As noted by writer Morgan Crouch in his article, "What Are the Seven Techniques of Propaganda?" these include:9

    Name calling — Derogatory terms or discriminatory words used to arouse suspicion and prejudice
    Glittering generalities — Slogans, catchphrases and highly generalized statements that sound good but mean little and prove nothing (such as "the science is settled")
    Transfer — The linking of a company/industry idea with a revered symbol
    Testimonial — Testimony by a respected authority, similar to celebrity endorsement
    Plain folks — Corporate material presented by someone who appears to be "just like you" — someone who shares your concerns and ideals
    Bandwagon — Creating the illusion that there's a consensus, which capitalizes on people's inherent desire to be on the "right" side
    Card stacking — Using only those facts that support the company's/industry's ideas, with the aim of making you assume these facts are conclusive. As noted by Crouch, "By 'stacking cards against the truth,' propagandists can control the beliefs of their audience"
    Pesticide and Vaccine Partnerships Revealed
    While Senapathy tries to show how those who question the safety of either GMOs or vaccines are all alike — that is, tinfoil hat-wearing lunatics who follow flat-earth theories in their spare time — what she ultimately achieves is a perfect example of industry PR.

    This systematic messaging strategy has been carefully developed, and is known to have a penetrating psychological effect. Both the vaccine and biotechnology industries use the same terminology and the same psychological assault strategies to make you feel like you're in the wrong — or worse.

    In her article, Senapathy basically accuses all vaccine and GMO safety advocates of being killers, merely for asking questions and not settling for non-answers, and doing what they think is right for their own health and that of their children.

    Another article10 that connects the vaccine and chemical technology industries was recently published by The Feed.

    In it, Ashleigh Morse, Ph.D., whose training centers on psychology and the influence of environmental cues on decision-making, and who says she works as a consultant to "a range of clients" in the field of science communication and public health,11 argues that juries are incapable of assessing the validity of scientific evidence presented in court, or the validity of the scientific methods used.

    Specifically, Morse — whose professional credits include a single published research paper listed on her LinkedIN bio on the role of opioid processes in reward and decision-making — is referring to the recent jury verdict against Monsanto, but she goes on to link that to vaccine science. "When juries decide on the science, we get autism linked to vaccines and the Monsanto verdict," she writes.

    When In Doubt, Blame the Russians
    Then there's the curious claim that the Russians are to blame for Americans' lack of faith in vaccine safety.12 According to a recent paper13 published in the American Journal of Public Health, Russian trolls and Soviet-directed Twitter bots promoted anti-vaccine information on social media to "amplify the vaccine debate" and create dissent in the U.S.

    According to the authors, "Accounts masquerading as legitimate users create false equivalency, eroding public consensus on vaccination," and "Directly confronting vaccine skeptics enables bots to legitimize the vaccine debate." Those two sentences are interesting and revealing indeed.

    In a nutshell, they're saying that by providing anti-vaccine content, these bots made it seem as though there was actually something to discuss when, in the opinion of the authors, no discussion about vaccine safety should occur at all.

    Apparently, it is their view that the vaccine debate is "illegitimate," since there's "public consensus" on vaccines (refer back to the bandwagon strategy, No. 6 in the propaganda list above).

    In other words, everyone knows vaccines are safe; the science is settled, so there's no valid reason to question it. Summing up the alleged Russian bots' efforts to sway public opinion against vaccination, the authors referred to it as "weaponized health communication."

    The Russians Did It Again
    Coincidentally, the vaccine paper above was submitted for publication shortly after news stories began circulating claiming the Russians were behind anti-GMO rhetoric.14 Minnesota Farm Living writes:15

    "Researchers from Iowa State University (Shawn Dorius and Carolyn Lawrence-Dill) wanted to better understand the controversy around genetically engineered food.16 The issue is with the overwhelming belief in the science community is that GMOs are safe, consumers still question their safety. Dorius and Lawrence-Dill wanted to find out why.

    What they found was surprising. The ISU researchers looked at not only how U.S. publications portrayed GMOs but also looked at the American versions of RT and Sputknik, two Russian publications. They counted how many times the term 'GMO' was used in different publications …

    They went a step further and analyzed the tone of each article. What they found is the Russian publications were overwhelming anti-GMO. The articles talked negatively about environmental risks, nutrition concerns, and health risks of GMOs."

    Here, the author links to the "Are GMOs Safe?" page on the Genetic Literacy Project's website as evidence to support GMO safety. But, the Genetic Literacy Project is a well-known front group for the GMO industry and hardly a reliable source of impartial information.

    As for why the Russians would want to spread anti-GMO rhetoric in the U.S., the study authors note Russia has an interest in creating division among the American people to weaken the country as a whole, and to promote their own agricultural exports, as Russia banned GMOs in 2016 and is trying to increase its exports of organic food.

    Claim of Scientific Consensus on GMO Safety Is Patently False
    In the Minnesota Farm Living article cited above, you can see the telltale industry rhetoric in the sentence, "the overwhelming belief in the science community is that GMOs are safe, [yet] consumers still question their safety." The reality is there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMOs.

    That is in fact the title of a scientific statement17 published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Sciences Europe, January 24, 2015. The statement, aptly titled "No Scientific Consensus on GMO Safety," was signed by 300 scientists, researchers, physicians and scholars.

    What's more, the paper states that the claim of scientific consensus on GMO safety is in actuality "an artificial construct that has been falsely perpetuated," and that such a claim "is misleading and misrepresents or outright ignores the currently available scientific evidence and the broad diversity of scientific opinions among scientists on this issue."

    In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration still does not possess any evidence demonstrating safety because they do not do scientific reviews. And even if they did, hundreds of scientists say there's no evidence demonstrating that genetically engineered foods are safe, and a number of independent studies have raised serious health concerns.

    To learn more about how GMOs were introduced into the food supply without safety testing, see my two-part interview with attorney Steven Druker, author of "Altered Genes, Twisted Truth." (Part 1, Part 2.)

    GMO-Vaccine Convergence
    The reason for the joining of PR forces between the vaccine and biotech industries becomes clearer when you take into account the fact that GMOs are moving into the vaccine industry. The 2016 article,18 "GMOs Lead the Fight Against Zika, Ebola and the Next Unknown Pandemic," published in The Conversation, asserts that GMOs play a "vital role" in medicine, adding:

    "Most modern biomedical advances, especially the vaccines used to eradicate disease and protect against pandemics … rely on the same molecular biology tools that are used to create genetically modified organisms.

    To protect the public, scientists have embraced GMO technology to quickly study new health threats, manufacture enough protective vaccines, and monitor and even predict new outbreaks."

    Additionally, scientists are also exploring the possibility of vaccinating plants against pests as an alternative to using pesticides.19 In other words, it's really quite crucial for these two bedfellows, strange as their joining may seem at first, to get people to embrace both genetic engineering and vaccines.

    That's why we're now seeing more and more articles deriding both vaccine and GMO safety advocates in the same piece, whether it necessarily makes sense to do so or not.

    Both of these industries are using the exact same messaging strategies — because so far they have worked — to achieve the same aim: Shame those who dare question the safety of either, and make them feel like ignorant outcasts and social misfits, thereby shutting down the conversation.

    Preempting Your Rights
    In my five-part "Ghost in the Machine" series, I discuss the many ways in which big industries manipulate science, and how they've captured our regulatory agencies and manipulate our political system. Here's a listing of the series, in case you missed any of them:

    Introduction to Ghost in the Machine — A New Article Series That Exposes How Puppet Masters Control the Planet for Their Benefit

    Ghost in the Machine, Part 1 — Drug Safety and Media Shaped by Big Pharma

    Ghost in the Machine, Part 2 — Success Breeds Greed That Gets in the Way of Ethics, Common Sense and Caution

    Ghost in the Machine, Part 3 — Pride and the Politics of Vaccines

    Ghost in the Machine, Part 4 — The War on Supplements, Essential Oils and Homeopathy

    Ghost in the Machine, Part 5 — Lies, Denial, Deceit and Manipulative 'Research'

    A feature common to both the vaccine industry and the biotech industry is the use of legislation to preempt your rights and force you to use their products whether you want to or not, and without regard for the health consequences.

    In recent years, I've written extensively about the vaccine industry's attempts to mandate vaccines and eliminate personal belief exemptions across the U.S. In some cases, they've succeeded. In others, they've lost, but efforts to strip every American of their right to informed consent and medical freedom is ongoing.

    The chemical technology industry is following the same agenda. One of the latest infringements on your rights is a provision in the Farm Bill that would block local governments from regulating pesticide use. The U.S. House committee approved the draft back in April. As noted by Jay Feldman, executive director of Beyond Pesticides:20

    "This is really a backdoor attempt to interfere with state governments and local governments. I think the trend is for local governments to engage on this issue. This would undermine that."

    Monsanto Ghostwriting Shill Attempts to Tie USRTK to Russian Troll Efforts
    A common corporate tactic is to use "third-party experts" to bring the industry's message to the public under the cloak of independent opinion or expertise (No. 4, "Testimonial"). The idea is that academic types are far more credible than industry employees when it comes to defending the industry's position.

    A well-known spokesperson for the GMO industry is Henry Miller, who was thoroughly outed as a Monsanto shill during the 2012 Proposition 37 GMO labeling campaign in California. A "No on 37" advertisement had to be pulled off the air because Miller was fraudulently identified as being part of the Stanford University faculty.

    Last year, Miller was outed yet again — this time as a ghostwriter for Monsanto. Forbes fired Miller when it became clear he had submitted ghostwritten material. On a relevant side note, Senapathy has cowritten articles with Miller, which is why some of her Forbes articles ended up being deleted as well,21 and the foreword for her book “Fear Babe” was written by Folta, a University of Florida professor who hid his financial ties to Monsanto.

    The Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA) discovery against Monsanto was led by U.S. Right to Know (USRTK). Proving he's still working on Monsanto's behalf, Miller penned a two-part article22,23 for Investor's Business Daily this past summer, in which he tries — quite unsuccessfully — to tie USRTK to the alleged Russian GMO disinformation campaign.

    The fact that they're still turning to Miller is probably a sign of just how desperate Monsanto (now Bayer) has become. Other discovery documents obtained by USRTK included email correspondence revealing Monsanto has been quite desperate for a number of years already.

    In an email dated February 26, 2015, Daniel Goldstein, senior science lead of medical sciences and outreach for Monsanto, tells Monsanto's food safety scientific affairs lead, John Vicini, Ph.D.:24

    Daniel Goldstein email
    In this email, Goldstein admits two pearls: First, the list of supporters willing to do their dirty work is short — which is why we keep seeing the same names pop up in pro-GMO propaganda pieces — and ACSH is a most valuable front group for the biotech industry.

    Another Undercover Ambassador for GMO Industry Wants You to Think the Russians Are Responsible for 'Anti-Vaccine Myths'
    So, who else wants you to think that "the Russians did it"? Mark Lynas, a long-term shill for the GMO industry, just published: "Opinion: Russian Campaign to Spread Anti-Vaccine Myths Part of a Wider War on Science and Truth"25 on the Alliance for Science website.

    As the other examples cited above, Lynas — normally a pro-GMO advocate — is now cross-linking GMOs and vaccines, closely mimicking the core message of Senapathy's article, which is that "Many anti-GMO groups and anti-vaxxers are closely linked."

    Again, what we're seeing is a crossover or merging of the GMO and vaccine industries in terms of messaging and propaganda angles. Rather than fighting public doubt separately, the shills for these industries are now putting out a single joint message that anyone who doubts the science presented by either of them is an anti-science nut job.

    The take-home message here is that these tactics are nothing but a PR ploy. Yes, they're trying to make you feel like an outsider, an outcast. They're trying to make you feel ashamed of your "ignorance," or worse, as if you've fallen for false propaganda propagated by evil Russians in an effort to divide and conquer.

    But all you really need to do is look for the hallmarks of astroturfing, and you'll quickly see through their ruse. You are not wrong for questioning flawed and biased science. You are not ignorant for questioning whether vaccines and GMOs might be unsafe when there's a clear lack of evidence to support safety claims.

    You are not a danger to the public for looking at the evidence and making your own decisions about whether or not you want your family to receive a particular vaccine or eat a certain food. Your inquiries and thought processes are only dangerous to the industries in question which, by the way, are willing to go to just about any lengths to hide the dangers of their products in order to maintain their profits. Stand your ground. It's solid."

    The House of Cards is Falling: The Shake Up At Cochrane
    SEPTEMBER 18, 2018
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...urce=mailchimp
    "By the Children’s Health Defense Team

    The international scientific network now known as Cochrane (formerly the Cochrane Collaboration)—which every year churns out hundreds of influential systematic reviews geared toward health policy-making—is not the type of organization that typically makes news headlines. Of late, however, Cochrane’s vaunted edifice of credibility has been visibly crumbling as the organization deals with mounting questions about whether it is as free from conflicted funding and industry-favorable bias as it likes to claim.

    In the latest scandal to hit the broadsheets, Cochrane’s Governing Board has expelled Peter Gøtzsche, the Danish physician-researcher who helped found Cochrane 25 years ago while also launching and leading the Cochrane-affiliated Nordic Cochrane Centre. Four other members of the 13-member Governing Board immediately resigned (see table) in protest at the Board’s decision which was reached by a bare majority of voting members—six to five—with one other member abstaining (and Gøtzsche absent by Board order.) In a three-page letter announcing his unprecedented expulsion and Cochrane’s “moral governance crisis,” Gøtzsche noted that “in just 24 hours the Cochrane Governing Board of thirteen members has lost five of its members, four of which are centre directors and key members of the organization in different countries.” (Subsequently, one more Governing Board member and a Cochrane Steering Group member also “voluntarily stepped down.”)



    The backdrop to the Board’s controversial maneuver was a July 2018 critique published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine by Gøtzsche and two other Cochrane-affiliated authors (the Nordic Cochrane Centre’s Lars Jørgensen and the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine’s Tom Jefferson). The three writers questioned both the methodology and conclusions of a Cochrane review published in May 2018—which was fawningly favorable toward human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines—arguing that the review was methodologically flawed, ignored conflicts of interest and failed to “meet the standards for Cochrane reviews.” In response, the editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Library stated that a team of editors would work with the authors of the review “to investigate the claims as a matter of urgency.”

    Gøtzsche suggests that his expulsion should be viewed in the context of a “growing top-down authoritarian culture” at Cochrane and “an increasingly commercial business model,” both of which “threaten the scientific, moral and social objectives of the organization.”
    Instead, the Cochrane Board appears to have decided that it was more expedient simply to remove one of the perceived troublemakers. Gøtzsche, by his own admission, has been a vocal critic of some aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. In his letter, Gøtzsche suggests that his expulsion should be viewed in the context of a “growing top-down authoritarian culture” at Cochrane and “an increasingly commercial business model,” both of which “threaten the scientific, moral and social objectives of the organization.” He adds:

    “…The central executive team of Cochrane has failed to activate adequate safeguards…to assure sufficient policies in the fields of epistemology, ethics and morality. Transparency, open debate, criticism and expanded participation are tools that guarantee the reduction of uncertainty of reviews and improve the public perception of the democratic scientific process. These are conditions and tools that cannot be eliminated, as has happened recently, without placing into serious doubt the rigorous scientific undertaking of Cochrane and eroding public confidence in Cochrane´s work” [emphasis added].

    A staunch defender of the Board’s decision to jettison Gøtzsche notes that Cochrane has grown, over a quarter-century, “from a tiny academic network run on collegiality and small donations to a sprawling trans-national bureaucracy with…a multi-million dollar annual turnover.” Somewhat ironically under the circumstances, this individual suggests that retaining the goodwill of the governments and philanthropists who fund Cochrane “requires delicate navigation of tricky political spaces and sometimes accepting hard-won compromises.”

    According to Gøtzsche, therein lies the rub—accompanying the shift toward a less collaborative and more heavy-handed executive leadership is “stronger and stronger resistance to say anything that could bother pharmaceutical industry interests,” along with “stalling” to avoid strengthening Cochrane´s conflict of interest policies. As Gøtzsche concludes, Cochrane’s increasingly commercial orientation reflects a worrisome erosion of the “sharing, independence and openness” that once were the trademark selling points of the Cochrane Collaboration."

    Infant Deaths Following Vaccination: The Numbers Don’t Lie—Or Do They?
    SEPTEMBER 17, 2018
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...urce=mailchimp
    By the Children’s Health Defense Team
    "National and international health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) routinely and emphatically claim that serious adverse events following vaccination are rare. Nowhere is officialdom’s minimization of vaccine risks more apparent than in these agencies’ position on vaccine-related deaths. The WHO, for example, states that “so few deaths can plausibly be attributed to vaccines that it is hard to assess the risk statistically.” Nevertheless, once regulators have deemed that a given vaccine is safe enough to be licensed and widely marketed, vaccine manufacturers are supposed to do just that—that is, continue to statistically assess a vaccine’s risks, including the risk of death—and regulators are supposed to carefully review the postlicensure data that pharmaceutical companies submit.

    …GlaxoSmithKline neglected to report to regulatory authorities that there was a statistically significant increased risk of sudden infant death in the four days after administration of its hexavalent vaccine…
    A 2017 commentary by India-based physicians Jacob Puliyel and C. Sathyamala in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics describes a shocking dereliction of duty on the part of regulators who were presented with vaccine data carefully tailored to obscure serious risks. Tackling concerns about infant deaths that have occurred following hexavalent vaccination in several European countries, the authors of the commentary show that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) neglected to report to regulatory authorities that there was a statistically significant increased risk of sudden infant death in the four days after administration of its hexavalent vaccine—and the regulatory agency in question (the EMA) ignored the omission and accepted GSK’s apparently whitewashed data at face value.

    Problematic hexavalent vaccines and problematic analyses
    Among world regions, European countries have taken the lead in incorporating hexavalent vaccines into their childhood vaccine schedules. Hexavalent vaccines are potent six-in-one combination shots covering diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio and Haemophilus influenzae type B. In 2000, the European Union (EU) approved two hexavalent vaccines—GSK’s Infanrix hexa and Sanofi Pasteur’s Hexavac—but suspended Hexavac five years later after a detailed analysis suggested that children who received the vaccine in their second year of life had an elevated risk of sudden death. The analysis by Drs. Puliyel and Sathyamala suggests that Infanrix hexa may be just as problematic as the discredited Hexavac vaccine.

    In Europe, vaccine manufacturers routinely provide the EMA with pharmacovigilance documents called periodic safety update reports (PSURs). The PSURs are intended to be critical medical analyses that evaluate “new or changing safety data,” and the EMA relies on them to make or uphold its vaccine-related policies. In its PSURs for Infanrix hexa, GSK typically compares “expected” and “observed” deaths following hexavalent vaccination. If the observed deaths were to significantly exceed the expected deaths, GSK would be forced to report “an increased risk of sudden infant death following vaccination with Infanrix hexa.”

    According to Drs. Puliyel and Sathyamala, GSK’s analyses have been marred by statistical maneuvers and flawed assumptions that enable the company to mask probable risks. For example, GSK’s calculation of expected deaths relies on assumptions that overestimate expected deaths, while the company gleans its figures for observed deaths through passive surveillance reports that are not actively solicited or investigated and are notorious for underestimating the true magnitude of adverse events. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that passive surveillance captures about one percent of vaccine-related adverse events. A study in Africa that compared passive with active surveillance found that passive surveillance “failed to identify half of all AEFIs [adverse events following immunization] that were identified through active surveillance, including all of the serious AEFIs.”

    Reviewing and reanalyzing GSK’s sudden death data from five PSURs (numbers 15-19), Drs. Puliyel and Sathyamala start with the earliest PSUR (number 15) and note a “clustering” of sudden deaths among infants (under age one) in the first three days following vaccination—with 72% of the deaths (42/58) taking place in that time frame and nearly all (93% or 54/58) occurring within 10 days of vaccination. The authors state:

    “The fact that the rate of death decreases rapidly with the passage of time following immunization suggests that the deaths could be related to vaccination.”

    Turning to the 19th PSUR (which should include all cumulative deaths reported in prior PSURs), Puliyel and Sathyamala note that the numbers in number 19 are not “consistent” with the numbers in the 16th PSUR; specifically, “the cumulative deaths reported are lower in the PSUR 19 than in the PSUR 16.” After correcting the data by restoring the missing deaths, the two authors find that “the number of observed deaths is significantly higher than expected for the first four days after vaccination” [emphasis added]. They suggest that GSK owes consumers and regulators an explanation as to why it did not report this statistically significant increased risk of infant death. They also caution:

    “If one glosses over the deaths after vaccination, one can prevent/delay the evaluation of the vaccine’s safety profile and this has the potential to result in more, unnecessary deaths, which is difficult to justify ethically.”

    Clinical evidence on hexavalent vaccines
    Italian researchers have published clinical reports that suggest a relationship between Infanrix hexa and sudden infant death. In one case report, a three-month-old female infant died within 24 hours of vaccination with Infanrix hexa due to a likely anaphylactic reaction. The authors of the study suggest that anaphylaxis may be underreported as a vaccine-related outcome, given the difficulty of pinpointing which specific vaccine components were involved and the possibility that several ingredients (i.e., vaccine antigens, animal proteins, antibiotics) could be responsible.

    Another analysis looked at 13 SIDS deaths that occurred one to seven days after administration of either Hexavac or Infanrix hexa (2000-2010) and likewise speculated that “vaccine components could have a direct role in sparking off a lethal outcome in vulnerable babies.” Elaborating on possible mechanisms, the authors stated:

    “…Several compounds and…adjuvants of the hexavalent vaccine might easily go beyond the BBB [blood-brain barrier], that in the first months of life is still immature and quite permeable, inducing…molecular alterations [in the brain]…with consequent fatal disorganization of respiratory control in particularly predisposed infants.”

    Making safety a priority
    The WHO and government health agencies are quick to dismiss as a “myth” any possible link between vaccines and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or other unexplained infant deaths—despite a landmark ruling by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in 2017 that vaccines “caused or substantially contributed” to a 2011 SIDS death. And, notwithstanding the worrisome reports of sudden infant deaths associated with hexavalent vaccines, the combination vaccines appear to be here to stay. Following Hexavac’s withdrawal from the European market, the EU has gone on to grant marketing approval to two other hexavalent vaccines manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur (Hexyon and Vaxelis, in 2013 and 2016, respectively). The EU also gave a scientific thumbs-up for rollout of Sanofi’s Hexaxim vaccine in non-EU regions.

    …public health officials and agencies in low- and middle-income countries, including India, are eagerly embracing hexavalent vaccines as “the future of routine immunization,” primarily because of the six-in-one vaccines’ perceived potential to boost vaccine coverage while lowering program costs.
    Outside the EU, public health officials and agencies in low- and middle-income countries, including India, are eagerly embracing hexavalent vaccines as “the future of routine immunization,” primarily because of the six-in-one vaccines’ perceived potential to boost vaccine coverage while lowering program costs. These same enthusiasts also view combination vaccines as a way to defuse the concerns of those who object that babies receive “too many shots too soon.” A 2017 study funded by Merck and Sanofi Pasteur optimistically stated that incorporation of hexavalent vaccines into the U.S. vaccine schedule “could improve coverage rates and timeliness” and “reduce the ‘shot burden.’”

    Vaccine researchers at the CDC admit that there is a need to invest in vaccine safety infrastructure “at a level commensurate with investments in vaccine development,” particularly through postlicensure studies that compensate for the “well-known limitations” of prelicensure clinical trials. These CDC researchers also (somewhat understatedly) point out the “increasing emphasis…on proving, rather than assuming, that no problems are associated with a vaccine” [emphasis added]. What the commentary by Drs. Puliyel and Sathyamala shows is that the “proof” offered by vaccine manufacturers cannot be accepted uncritically and that regulatory agencies must scrutinize pharma-authored reports rather than simply rubber-stamping them. As a result of the EMA’s failure to perform due diligence on Infanrix hexa, say the two medical researchers, “numerous children were unnecessarily exposed to the risk of death.' "
