Guest guest Posted June 9, 1999 Report Share Posted June 9, 1999 I was amazed at some of the response I received about this. Most people were glad to see it, but some said ' They have no problem with genetically engineered food'. Well, maybe they don't care, but for me, I like to know what I am ingesting. Recently I saw this: In the 19th century, with the exception of ether, there were few anesthetics to relieve the pain of childbirth. In 1847, Sir James Young Simpson, M.D., a prominent obstetrician and a professor of medicine and midwifery at Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced chloroform. Chloroform, a colorless liquid that produces a vapor that renders you unconscious, began to be widely used for procedures other than childbirth, although a dangerous side effect was its high incidence of liver damage and heart problems. Today it is used daily as a flavoring and preservative for other medicines. Simpson, born on this date in 1811, was also an archaeologist. Are you familiar with this, and if so, does this also mean that chloroform is also approved as a flavoring and preservative in food? Just curious.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 1999 Report Share Posted June 9, 1999 You could get me going on this topic. Did you know that American Agri-Laws state that all Herbs imported into the US are " SUBJECT " to irradiation and fumigation? Did you also know that ALL the BIG pharmaceuticals get their herbs from third world countries where in many cases it is still legal to use DDT etc. etc.? I know what you mean about some people having no problem with genetically engineered food. These are probably the same people who have no problem with the fact that almost 25% of public school children are on a very heavy drug called Ritalin which has been proven to stunt growth (Mental and Physical), and can induce suicidal tendencies. Me thinks there is more to Y2K than just computer failures. Ian Carl /Dottie Wolgang wrote: > was amazed at some of the response I received about this.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Dear Ross, Thank you for this post... I believe this is one of the worst crimes against humanity there possibly can be... To forever contaminate our food supply with rogue genes... Who knows what the end result will be: cancer, famine, etc? And to show you how corrupt the system is, the supreme court just upheld that if a farmer's field is contaminated by these rogue genes- the farmer has to pay Monsanto for " use " of their patented nightmare... If you think the powers that be are here to serve us, and not their wallets and own agendas, take another look. That is why we need to become empowered and let our voices be heard, before it is too late. Other comments?
