2013: Meet the Opposite of Monsanto — These Are the Folks That Really Feed the World

Meet the people fighting resource grabs, cultivating traditional crops, and defending their communities from exploitation by multinationals. When it comes to ‘feeding the world,’ agribusiness keeps selling the same old “solutions” that are actually undermining people’s access to healthful and sustainable food: massive industrialized farming operations, biotech (GMO) crops, pesticide-intensive mono-cropping, and so-called “free trade” agreements. They insist we just need to produce more food (with their seeds and petrochemicals) for the nearly one billion people who go hungry each year—yet landfills overflow with food waste in countries where agribusinesses have gained control of seeds, livestock, markets, and prices. In spring 2013, Monsanto grabbed headlines when its genetically modified wheat, MON71800—not approved for production or consumption—was found growing in a farmer’s field.  Yet in June, Monsanto and […] Read More

Herbs & Cancer

There are probably more varieties of cytotoxic herbs than thare are chemotherapeutic drugs. Research has already been accomplished spanning 5,000 years and 2,500,000 (2.5 million) herbs. Of all these, at least 3,000 possess some type of anti-cancer properties. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture uses this same figure. The way each herb interacts with Arthitis, Cancer, Cholesterol, Diabetes, Heart Disease, or any other conditin is different with each plant. Also it is very important that the condition of the individuals body be analyzed as this may have some impact on the dosage recommended. Finding the particular combinatin that works best for a particular person is NOT really a matter of trial and error. For example: 1 teaspoon of EZ-AK tea may be sufficient for one person […] Read More

1990: A.I.D.S. is Man-made

by William Cooper DATE/TIME: 07/27/90 21:02 To All, During my talks in Las Vegas last weekend I revealed a few things about aids that I have been keeping close to my chest. I have already revealed that I saw that AIDS was man made to eleminate the undesirable elements of society while I was attached to Naval Security and Intelligence. I stated this fact in my paper “The Secret Government.” Now for the rest of the story. The first study was made in 1957 by scientists meeting in Huntsville Alabama. That study resulted in “Alternative 3.” Another study was made by the Club of Rome in 1968 to determine the limits to growth. The result of the study was that civilization as we know it […] Read More

Alfalfa "King" of Herbs

Alfalfa, also known as “king of the herbs,” was one of the first herbs known to man. It is native to Asia and was brought to North America around 1850.

Plants Against Liver Cancer

Researchers at Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy look at liver cancer and the remedies, natural and synthetic, that can prevent and treat it. The abstract sets up the need for this research: Despite significant advances in medicine, liver cancer, predominantly hepatocellular carcinoma remains a major cause of death in the United States as well as the rest of the world. As limited treatment options are currently available to patients with liver cancer, novel preventive control and effective therapeutic approaches are considered to be reasonable and decisive measures to combat this disease. Several naturally occurring dietary and non-dietary phytochemicals have shown enormous potential in the prevention and treatment of several cancers, especially those of the gastrointestinal tract. The article then describe the largest […] Read More
