Monsanto tries to distance itself from GMO seeds in Haiti

by Tony Isaacs

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about Monsanto apparently trying to backdoor its patented seeds and chemicals into Haiti in the form of a donations of hundreds of tons of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides which they called "earthquake relief".  At least two different sources I used in writing the article had published information that the Monsanto donation included GMO seeds and thus that is what I wrote in the article.

After I first posted the article at CureZone and here on this website I submitted it to Natural News, where it was subsequently published. Shortly thereafter I received a series of emails from Monsanto Social Media Team Lead Mica Leihman, which rather stridently objected to my article in which they emphasized that they had not donated any GMO seeds but rather had only donated hybrid seeds. Ms. Leihman also sent an email to Natural News which contained the same objections she sent to me:

"I would like to know why you have chosen to run a story that has flatout untruths in it. In your very FIRST statement, you say Monsanto donated GMO seeds to Haiti. We did no such thing. The seeds are HYBRID, not GMO. It's been documented on our Web site, by the Haitian Ministry and even by the third party articles you yourself reference (with the exceptionof Planet Green by Rachel Cernansky - I am following up with her.

Why then allow this rumor to continue to perpetuate?"

In subsequent emails, Ms. Leihman took pains to extol their hybrd seeds and how harmless they were, including pointing out that that hybrids occured in nature (never mind that natural hybrids were not designed with profit in mind, that natural hybrids do not hook farmers into a single source of their seeds or that natural hybrid seeds were not treated with dangerous fungicides and bactericides such as Monsanto's Maxim XO and Thiram).

Clearly, Monsanto's intent was to make sure that there were no reports or inferences of them donating GMO seeds to Haiti - but I had to wonder why Monsanto, by far the world's leader in GMO seeds, appeared to be taking such pains to distance itself from GMO seeds.  I also wondered why other sources would have been led to make mistaken reports.

And so I did some further research and found out that sure enough Monsanto's donation did not include any GMO seeds.  However, I also found out why it was likely that other sources had initially stated that Monsanto did donate GMO seeds.  You see, what Monsanto rep Leihman conveniently left out in her emails was this little gem:  Monsanto's initial donation offer was for GMO seeds and they only changed to hybrid seeds after that initial offer was rejected by the Haiti Ministry of Agriculture.

In other words, Monsanto wanted to remove all mention of GMO seeds from news reports and went out of their way to point out that they only donated hybrid seeds without any mention of their original intent to donate their GMO seeds.  Do you think that perhaps that might explain the other reports of GMO seeds and/or have anything to do with that "rumor" Monsanto does not want perpetuated?

In the interest of accuracy, I changed my story accordingly.  However, I don't think the changes were what Monsanto had in mind.  Here is the revised story, which, in addition to being posted on Natural News and this website, is also slated to appear on various other sites as well as in the newspaper The Agora:

Haiti Rejects Monsanto GMO Seeds Donation, Farmers Burn Hybrid Seeds

by Tony Isaacs

In what many believe is an attempt to backdoor its patented seeds and chemical products into a new market, Monsanto has donated hundreds of tons of hybrid seeds, fertilizers and pesticides to earthquake stricken Haiti.  Monsanto originally planned to donate GMO seed to Haiti but their offer was rejected by the Haiti Ministry of Agriculture.  Though Monsanto termed their donation an effort to help the people in Haiti with earthquake relief, Monsanto's "generosity" is being met with skepticism and outright rejection.  

In June, 10,000 farmers marched in protest against Monsanto and a group of small farmers burned a symbolic quantity of hybrid corn seed in the central square of the agricultural town of Hinche.  A 200,000-member national coalition is encouraging Haiti farmers to burn all Monsanto seeds that have already been distributed, and has called on the government to reject additional shipments.

Peasant leader Chavannes Jean-Baptiste told IPS News: Farmers want to preserve their traditional "organic agriculture that respects the environment and fights against its degradation. We defend native seeds and the rights of peasants on their land."  Jean-Batiste also said "Fighting hybrid and GMO seeds is critical to save our diversity and our agriculture" and maintained that a "county has a right to define its own agricultural policies, to grow first for the family and then for local market, to grow healthy food in a way which respects the environment and Mother Earth."

Another peasant farmer stated, "We have a problem today with Monsanto and all the multinationals who sell seeds. Seeds and water are the common patrimony of humanity."

Monsanto has already donated the first round of what Global Research has referred to as a "new earthquake" and "deadly gift": 475 tons of hybrid seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. Though Monsanto has pointed out that their donation contained only hybrid seeds and no GMO seeds, as noted earlier their initial offer of "earthquake relief" included Monsanto GMO "roundup ready" corn.  Only after the GMO seed offer was rejected did Monsanto change their donation to hybrid seeds.

The multinational seed giant is known around the world for its aggressive GMO and hybrid policies. It is also known for intimidating and suing farmers and small agricultural companies it claims have violated its contracts and patents, including farmers whose fields have been contaminated by pollen from someone else's genetically engineered crop or who have had voluntary seed sprout from a previous year's crop.  By 2007 Monsanto had already collected over $21.5 million in judgments in the U.S. alone.

In addition, Monsanto is infamously known for the deaths and health problems that have resulted from its highly toxic herbicide products, most notable of which is Agent Orange.   A large number of U.S. Veterans got cancer as a result of exposure to the company's Agent Orange.   The Vietnamese government claims that 400,000 of their citizens died or were disabled and 500,000 children were born with birth defects as a result of Agent Orange.

The corn seed product Monsanto donated to Haiti has been treated with the fungicide Maxim XO, while the calypso tomato seeds were treated with Thiram.  Thiram is a highly toxic chemical which the EPA examined and deemed to be so dangerous that agricultural workers are now mandated to wear protective clothing when handling them.

While Monsanto is calling the seeds a donation, it isn't hard to see how the company will benefit by getting farmers hooked on a need that only it can supply, as it has done elsewhere around the world - most notably in the U.S. and Canada. Once Monsanto’s seeds are introduced, they often also profit from sales of their fertilizer and pesticides, whose demand usually increases in proportion to the use of GMO seeds.

Seed company giants Monsanto, Syngenta, Dupont and Bayer control more than half of the world's seed patents.  Monsanto has almost 650 seed patents, most of which are for cotton, corn, and soy.  The company also owns almost 30 percent of the share of all the world's biotechnology research and development. 

The world's largest confederation of farmers, Via Campesina, has called Monsanto one of the "principal enemies of peasant sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty for all peoples."

Understanding Anxiety and Panic Disorders

By Luella May

In this day and age, it is common to come across people suffering from anxiety disorders. By “anxiety” I don’t mean common every day stresses. This type of anxiety deeply impacts an individual’s life, often becoming debilitating.

Anxiety disorders affect 2.4 million Americans. This means that 1 in 113 Americans lives with this condition. Contributing factors range from our toxic environment, to the very foods we eat, to our hectic pace of life.

A certain amount of anxiety is a normal part of life and can be beneficial in our day-to-day performance. However, anxiety becomes debilitating when it escalates beyond proportion and becomes out of control, almost having a life of its own. A person who suffers from this type of disorder feels the same stresses and fears that we do with one major difference: Their stress and fear is overly magnified.

For example, think of a time when you were the most fearful. Now, magnify it 100 times. How does it feel? Magnify it again 100 times…and again…and again. Do this until you have magnified this feeling 1,000 times. This is exactly what a person with an anxiety disorder experiences.

A person who suffers from anxiety doesn’t experience stress as we do. Our feelings of stress are of a temporary duration. A person suffering from anxiety has an overwhelming constant sense of apprehension, very often including feelings of fear and dread. This constant heightened state of alertness, an always-present flight or fight response, places a severe demand on the body and accounts for what happens next.

Physical symptoms surface, which only serve to further frighten the individual suffering from this condition. Muscles, especially around the shoulders and neck, become stiff. They may experience heart palpitations, numbness, tingling, blurry vision, electric shock feelings, and they may experience a sensation of waves throughout their head. Actually, there have been over 100 physical symptoms reported. Too often, the uncontrolled constant surge of adrenaline brought on by this state of constant apprehension will eventually affect the sympathetic nervous system, not only causing disturbing physical symptoms, but as the demands get more difficult for the body to withstand, it can result in what is called a panic attack.

The Mayo Clinic defines a panic attack as “a sudden episode of intense fear that develops for no apparent reason and that triggers severe physical reactions.” I suppose this sounds bad enough, but I consider it a mild description of what a panic attack actually is. From my personal perspective, a panic attack is nothing short of a simulated heart attack or stroke. It is no wonder that a person suffering a panic attack feels as though death is imminent. To make matters worse, these panic attacks do not usually occur in the comfort of your own home. They usually occur in public, very often in a store setting. Another common place for a panic attack to occur is while driving a car. This only serves to add to the terror that the individual already feels.

Unfortunately, panic attacks too often are not just a one-time occurrence. Public places very often serve as triggers, which result in additional panic attacks. The terror caused by these experiences results in the individual’s avoidance of such places. The person becomes fearful of driving and going to the store or other public places, and little by little withdraws from life, becoming homebound. The anxiety disorder has now progressed to a panic disorder and the individual is now classified as agoraphobic.

Severe depression normally goes hand-in-hand with anxiety. Because of a person’s individual makeup and experiences in life, it is impossible to tell whether depression has been instrumental in causing anxiety or vice versa. There is usually no way of telling which condition came first.

The causes of this disorder are varied. Sometimes it simply has a physical cause, such as poor diet. Many times it is a faulty thyroid causing this condition. Anxiety caused from a physical source is usually easier to recover from. However, in most cases, the cause is emotional, many times stemming back to childhood. Poor nutrition, however, does contribute to this condition. Those with anxiety disorders tend to drift to comforting foods that include unhealthy carbs, sweets, junk foods, fast foods, and so forth, thus feeding the condition and making it worse. Many seek relief in alcohol. This relief is short lived and usually leads to catastrophe as the sugar content in alcohol will only serve to eventually trigger the very panic attacks that they are trying so hard to avoid.

The good news is that an anxiety/panic disorder is very treatable, and it is most treatable naturally. Medications prescribed by healthcare professionals are usually not the answer. Medications such as SSRI`s and benzodiazepines, only mask symptoms. While at times appearing to bring relief, they come with their own price, side effects, some of which are dangerous. Additionally, these drugs are highly addictive. These medications work by turning off necessary emotions needed in every day life. You will find that many who rely on antidepressants don’t feel sadness, but they also don’t feel joy. Additionally, benzodiazepines tend to lose their effect after a short period of time, necessitating more and more in order to relieve anxiety and those dreaded bodily manifestations.

Natural alternatives are a safer and more effective way of dealing with anxiety and panic. There are supplements that will not only help to relieve those feelings of anxiety and panic, but aid in total healing. I will emphasize that resolving emotional conflicts is a very important part of healing, as many times this is the very source of the anxiety and panic.

Supplements that are just as effective in treating anxiety disorders are:

  • Colloidal Gold - improves neural communication in the brain. It is believed to be responsible for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

  • Oleander Extract - has demonstrated effectiveness against many conditions, including anxiety.

  • 5-HTP turns into serotonin. Serotonin is important in regulating anxiety.

  • I-Theanine - ia natural relaxant, which supports the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

  • GABA - Low levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid may be responsible for a person not being able to handle day-to-day stress. GABA decreases anxiety, induces relaxation and increases alertness.

  • KAVA - elevates mood, wellbeing and contentment.

  • Omega 3`s - Among their many benefits, Omega 3`s relieve depression and maintain emotional balance.

  • Hawthorne Berry Syrup - besides supporting the cardiovascular system, has been reported to be beneficial for heart symptoms suffered during anxiety and panic attacks.

  • Iodine Supplementation - Oftentimes, anxiety is the result of an iodine deficiency. It is recommended that anyone suffering from anxiety and panic symptoms have their thyroid checked. Supplementation is recommended because a great deal of us are deficient.

  • Bach Flower Remedies - aid in relieving a variety of emotional disorders.

A person whose anxiety has reached such proportions will, in most cases, need a therapist to point the way toward healing. Resolving present and past emotional conflicts is crucial, together with learning a new way of thinking. The therapist will teach the individual coping mechanisms such as relaxation exercises, visualization, meditation, etc. Cognitive behavior therapy is another stepping stone toward healing.

Diet cannot be overlooked. Proper nourishment will result in less anxiety. A diet rich in Omega 3’s will ease depression, while foods containing L-Tryptophan, such as turkey, will help the body to relax.

An anxiety disorder is a much misunderstood condition involving the emotional and the physical aspects of one’s being. Healing from this condition encompasses Body, Mind, and Spirit. The best option in achieving total wellness is addressing it through meditation, introspection, and by using diet and the herbs and supplements that nature has provided.

Rare Zebra-Donkey Offspring Born at Georgia Wildlife Preserve

A zedonk, an unusual cross between a donkey and a zebra, was born at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve about a week ago. The animal, which has a zebra father and donkey mother, has black stripes prominently displayed on her legs and face.

DAHLONEGA — In all his years running the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, C.W. Wathen has never seen it happen. But five days ago, a zedonk was born.

“The animals have been running (in the fields) together for more than 40 years, but this is the first time that this has happened here,” said Wathen, the preserve’s founder and general manager. “We never suspected that they (had mated), so it was quite a surprise when the zedonk was born.”

The animal is a mix between a zebra and donkey. With black stripes prominently displayed on her legs and face, her zebra heritage is readily apparent, but her slender face and spindly legs are more donkeylike.

“White tigers are more of our calling card, but this is one of the most unique animals that has ever been born here,” Wathen said.

While she was born to a donkey mother, the baby zedonk’s instincts are all zebra.

“Usually, a foal will lay over on its side, sunning itself,” Wathen said. “But the zedonk sits up at all time — like she’s on alert looking out for predators. She’s still got some of her wild instincts.”

Although it’s uncommon for donkeys and zebras to mate, it isn’t unheard of. In 2005, a zebra gave birth to a zedonk in Barbados, according to the news website, Science Daily. And in the 1970s, three zedonks were born at a European zoo to a donkey mother, according to the Colchester Zoo’s website.

In about two weeks, the 5-day-old zedonk will begin roaming the property with the rest of the animals — including a camel, a donkey sibling, her zebra father and a 40-year-old miniature donkey.

Once the zedonk gets a little older, Wathen said she’ll be able to go out for off-site visits like some of the other animals on the preserve.

“The kids (visiting the preserve) have been going crazy about the zedonk,” he said.

Other animals on the 25-acre nonprofit preserve include giant tortoises, colorful macaws, white tigers, black leopards and a 2-month-old wolf.

“We keep all the animals fed really well, so a lot of the animals that would normally be predators in the wild run together in the same areas here,” Wathen said. “In the wild they are competing for food, but here they don’t have to compete, so there’s no fighting.”

Teach Your Children Gardening for a Natural Head Start on Life

by Tony Isaacs

A new study conducted for Britain's Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has found that encouraging children to learn gardening boosts their development by helping them become happier, more confident, and more resilient. In addition, gardening also helps teach children patience and the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The study was conducted by researchers at the National Foundation for Children, who surveyed 1,300 teachers and 10 schools. Teachers who used gardening as part of their learning experience reported that it improved children's readiness to learn. The teachers also reported that gardening encouraged pupils to become more active in solving problems, as well as boosted literacy and numeracy skills. Now the society is urging that gardening should be incorporated as a key teaching tool in schools regular curriculum instead of being an optional extra-curricular activity.

Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts Stop the Spread of Breast and Other Cancers

by Tony Isaacs

Scientists have discovered that broccoli and Brussels sprouts have the ability to stop the spread of cancer. Eating the vegetables encourages the body to produce a substance known as 13C (indole-3-carbinol) which fights cancer and blocks cancer cells from proliferating.

In the study just published in Cancer Prevention Research researchers at the Ohio State University found compelling evidence indicating that 13C could have anticancer effects and other health benefits. The study focused on breast cancer cells, but it is likely that it can fight other cancers too, and it may even reverse Alzheimer's disease.

The Environmental Working Group's Cancer Prevention Tips

According to a new report from the President's Cancer Panel, environmental toxins play a significant and under-recognized role in cancer, causing "grievous harm" to untold numbers of people. EWG's own research has found that children are born "pre-polluted" with nearly 300 industrial chemicals, pesticides and contaminants that have been found to cause cancer in lab studies or in people.

Four of every 10 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes, and two of every 10 will die from it. Beyond talking to your doctor about lifestyle changes that are known to make a difference -- stopping smoking, reducing drinking, losing weight, exercising and eating right -- there are things you can do to reduce your risk.

Try this healthy homemade sports drink to avoid summer dehydration

For you guys and gals who are out in the heat doing whatever, hub and I have come up with a wonderful sports drink alternative you might want to try.  We need sodium, potassium, and glucose, as well as fluids for hydration.  Hub and I avoid the prepared sports drinks like the plague, so this is our alternative.  The molasses adds potassium and some glucose and other good stuff (make sure to use real molasses and not the syrup sold as molasses in some stores).  Of course, the salt adds the sodium.  Honey is just good for us, but adds some glucose too, without raising the glycemic index too much.  The lemon is mainly for taste, but the vitamin C can't hurt.  The apple juice is definitely for taste, so add whatever juice you prefer (grape juice would be wonderful in this).  We like the taste of regular tea, and of course the green tea is for the antioxidants.

1 large regular teabag
3 regular-sized green tea bags
1/4 to 1/2 cup of molasses
3-4 lemons
1-1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
2-3 cups Apple juice (or your juice of preference)
Honey to taste

Bring water to boil, add salt.  Turn off heat and add teabags.  Steep for 15-20 minutes.  In a gallon jug mix molasses, honey, lemon juice, and apple juice (or your juice of choice) to make 1/2 gallon.  Shake well.  Add prepared tea and water to complete the gallon.  Refrigerate and enjoy.

If you live near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, think "house plants"

by Tony Isaacs

As if Louisiana and other gulf coast residents didn't already have enough to worry about from the catastrophic oil spill, new reports are indicating that the very air they breathe has become a health threat. Air quality samples have found levels of sulphur dioxide, benzene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) anywhere from 100 to 1000 times the maximum levels considered safe. One place Gulf Coast residents may look to find considerable relief from VOCs in their homes and offices is their local organic nurseries where they can find indoor plants that are proven natural toxin removers.
