Blatant
Attack on Humanity – by Carol Webb
When I wrote the previous article exposing the risks
to our health that the European Food Code is allowing all its citizens’, and
through the World Trade Organization, most of the world, to consume irradiated
food, I had no idea that this prospect was so bleak.I understood that the irradiated food
would have little nutritional value, and therefore to remain healthy we would
have to find our own ways of consuming the vitamins and minerals that our diets
would now lack.
DNA Under Attack:
I did not understand that our very DNA
would be altered, and was quite shocked to read the following report.
As a result I have needed to re-think the
measures that will be required to beat this blatant attack on humanity.
When
you have read the report I will suggest the best ways that I know to rid the
body of harmful chemicals.
Report Translated from German
Public Citizen this week
released the world’s first English translation of a recent German study
revealing that a chemical formed in irradiated food can damage DNA.The study confirmed
what safe-food advocates and many pioneering researchers have known for more
than 30 years: Exposing food to ionizing radiation can lead to the
formation of bizarre new chemicals called “unique radiolytic products”
that can cause serious health problems.
One such chemical, known as 2-DCB, caused “significant DNA damage” in the colons of rats that ate the substance. The chemical - - which, ironically, is a well-known “marker” for determining whether food has been irradiated - - has never been found naturally in any food on Earth.
The study was conducted in 1998 under the auspices of two prominent pro-irradiation organizations. It was performed at one of the most prestigious food irradiation labs in the world, the Federal Research Center for Nutrition in Karlsruhe, Germany. And it was co-funded by the International Consultative Group on Food Irradiation, a United Nations-sponsored organization that promotes food irradiation worldwide. Public Citizen released an English translation of the study at a Feb. 13 meeting at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Washington, D.C.
The meeting was held to preview an upcoming meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which sets food safety standards for most nations of the world. Codex officials, meeting March 12-16 in The Hague, will consider a proposal to completely remove the maximum dose of radiation to which food can be exposed.
The current maximum dose is 10 kiloGray - - the equivalent of 330 million chest x-rays and enough radiation to kill a person 2,000 times over. At this week’s FDA meeting, Public Citizen told government officials and food industry executives that health authorities have used a variety of excuses to dismiss dozens of studies conducted since the 1950s that suggest irradiated food may not be safe for human consumption.
In these studies, lab animals have suffered
premature death, a rare form of cancer, fatal internal bleeding, stillbirths
and other reproductive problems, chromosomal aberrations, liver damage,
nutritional deficiencies and low weight gain.
The excuses most commonly given are that the studies are old,
inconclusive or poorly designed. None of these excuses apply to the German study, however, which was
conducted three years ago, yielded conclusive results, and was performed under
the guidance of cutting-edge scientific protocols.
Despite the study’s clear
findings and high quality, it was distorted and dismissed by the World Health
Organization, which has endorsed the irradiation of any food at any dose - - no
matter how high. And, because it had never been translated into English, FDA
officials never reviewed it. Now, FDA and WHO officials have no excuse.
Now they know that irradiated food holds the true
potential to harm people who eat it. Now they know that if they continue to
approve the food industry’s requests to irradiate food - - such as the pending
request to irradiate ready-to-eat foods such as deli meat and pre-cut salads -
- they will be defying the truth. Now they should know better. The question is:
Will they?
Bladderwrack
One of the best plants for healing the mucous
membrane of the body is ’seaweed’, Bladderwrack, Kelp or Irish Moss, and if you
live near the coast, or have access to sea water then collect it and consume in
any way that you find palatable. Because I live in the U.K. and so am never
more than 70 miles from the sea it can be collected while we are able to afford
the fuel (gas) to do it. If this becomes impossible then other plants will take
its place.
Dandelion -
This is an acquired taste, but we will have to make
friends with it. Its liver protective properties are legendary.
Nasturtium -
Easily grown
in pots and looks like a decorative flower it is another source of Iodine. Make
a tincture to last through the winter months, eat fresh flowers and leaves
through the growing season.
Chilli (Pepper) -
You will need to grow this in a pot as it too will
be irradiated. Eat it as you normally would but make a tincture to
add to other
teas. This herb increases the efficacy of all other herbs.
It has begun with the passing into European Law on the 31st December 2009 of the 'European Food Directive', which could and most probably will lead to CODEX, now planned for 2012 if we do nothing! Please contact Sue Croft on www.consumersforhealthchoice.com
