"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."- Thomas Jefferson
Deception, manipulation, propaganda and profit: These words have become the basis of the American corporate and political landscape without any seeming concern or guilt over their promulgation. One company in particular, which seems to be the iconographic example of this is Monsanto or so go the claims today by the "conspiracy crowd" in reaction to the Genetically Modified (GM) food technology and its apparent governmental backing.
In order to understand the purpose of GM foods and the reasons stated for its implementation, the powers that be will tell us we need only look at the current global environment and the necessity of solutions to provide an adequate food supply to those in need in the global community. Farmable land and access to water, energy, and biological resources are not as plentiful in many countries as they are in many parts of America. These shortages equate to low crop yield which means certain death and starvation to many people around the world each year.
Comment: The Food Crisis is Not About a Shortage of Food
Hunger can have many contributing factors; natural disaster, discrimination, war, poor infrastructure. So why, regardless of the situation, is high tech agriculture always assumed to be the only the solution? This premise is put forward and supported by those who would benefit financially if their "solution" were implemented. Corporations peddle their high technology genetically engineered seed and chemical packages, their genetically altered animals, always with the "promise" of feeding the world.

Food shortages are seldom about a lack of food, there is plenty of food in the world, the shortages occur because of the inability to get food where it is needed and the inability of the hungry to afford it. These two problems are principally caused by, as Francis Moore Lappe' put it, a lack of justice. There are also ethical considerations, a higher value should be placed on people than on corporate profit, this must be at the forefront, not an afterthought.
Comment: SOTT urges all of those who are dealing with Mercury toxicity issues to check out the works of Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Sherry Rogers, Dr. Sydney MacDonald Baker, and others spearheading the field of detoxing the body. There are detox programs for children as well as adults that are demonstrating remarkable results.
Also, for body detox assistance, please check the Éiriú Eolas where you can learn about this remarkable stress-control, healing, detoxing and rejuvenation program. Scientific studies show that stimulation of the vagus nerve assists the body in detoxing and boosts the immune system. And those are just two of the benefits of learning and regularly practicing this program!
Finally, scientific studies have shown a relationship between gluten and casein sensitivity and mercury toxicity. See the work of Dr. Peter Osborne for details. Individuals with type O blood, both positive and negative, appear to be particularly sensitive to gluten and casein. There are many articles and studies in the SOTT Health and Wellness database on this topic.
