Let me add another atrocity I stumbled across last week. Monsanto's

multi-carcinogen, brain-scrambling, mitochondria-destroying ASPARTAME,

manufactured with genetically modified microorganism escherichia coli, has been

added as an extra toxicity enhancer to antiretroviral drugs given to pregnant

women and newborns. The side effects of PFIZER's VIRACEPT, for instance, include

low white blood cells (leukopenie/neutropenia, which means that the primary

cells of the immune system, neutrophils, have been depleted, along with some

other other cells, eosinophils and basophils) in children,diabetes and high

blood pressure, changes in body fat (buffalo hump) plus it is clearly stated

that the effects of VIRACEPT on pregnant women or their unborn basies are not

known! http://www.pfizer.comproducts/ppi_viracept.pdf.

 

The same applies to Nevirapine/Lamivudine/Zidovudine

http://www.who.int/selection_medicines/committees/subcommittee/2/compLNZ.pdf

 

and Retrovir (AZT) also see http://www.fda.gov/oc/opt/pediatriclabeling.html and

http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2008/019910s033lbl.pdf (Retrovir (AZT)

 

It goes without saying that patients will never see these product information

sheets, let alone be told about the side effects of these allegedly

" life-saving " drugs.

 

NEVIRAPINE label:

 

“Warning: Severe, life-threatening, and in some cases fatal hepatotoxicity

[liver poisoning], including fulminant and cholestatic hepatitis, hepatitic

necrosis [liver death] and hepatatic [liver] failure, has been reported in

patients treated with VIRAMUNE [Nevirapine]…Patients with signs or symptoms of

hepatitis must discontinue VIRAMUNE and seek medical evaluation immediately.

Severe, life-threatening skin reactions, including fatal cases, have occurred in

patients treated with VIRAMUNE. These have included cases of Stevens-Johnson

syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis [skin death], and hypersensitivity

reactions characterized by rash, constitutional findings and organ dysfunction.

 

It is essential that patients be monitored intensively during the first 18 weeks

of therapy with VIRAMUNE to detect potentially life-threatening hepatotoxicity

or skin reactions….In some cases, hepatatic injury has progressed despite

continuation of treatment. VIRAMUNE should not be restarted following severe

hepatatic, skin, or hypersensitivity reactions.”

[The drug’s manufacturer, Boehringer Ingelheim, had originally slotted the drug

for pregnant HIV-positive women in the U.S. But Nevirapine’s toxicities were so

great, they pulled it out of the FDA approval process. Then they did what all

AIDS drug manufacturers do with their garbage – dump it into the gay, Black or

foreign market and tell the soft-headed liberal media that it’ s an

“antiretroviral” that will stop AIDS.

 

The Ugandan study that Tramont helped bury was overseen by Dr. Laura Guay, a

U.S. doctor from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Under Dr. Guay,

the drug found its approval overseas. How does a drug that kills Americans save

Africans?]

 

 

AZT " WARNING: RETROVIR (ZIDOVUDINE) [=AZT] MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH HEMATOLOGIC

TOXICITY INCLUDING GRANULOCYTOPENIA AND SEVERE ANEMIA PARTICULARLY IN PATIENTS

WITH ADVANCED HIV DISEASE (SEE WARNINGS). PROLONGED USE OF RETROVIR [=AZT] HAS

BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SYMPTOMATIC MYOPATHY SIMILAR TO THAT PRODUCED BY HUMAN

IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS. RARE OCCURRENCES OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS IN THE ABSENCE OF

HYPOXEMIA, AND SEVERE HEPATOMEGALY WITH STEATOSIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE

USE OF ANTIRETROVIRAL NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGUES, INCLUDING RETROVIR AND ZALCITABINE,

AND ARE POTENTIALLY FATAL (SEE WARNINGS). "

 

- from Glaxo Welcome AZT product information

 

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF AZT? " Excruciating headaches; severe nausea; muscular

pain; wasting of the muscles; damage to kidneys and nerves; excruciating pains

in the legs; encephalitis; severe anemia requiring transfusions to stay alive;

lymphoma (cancer); cancer in 49% of cases, versus 2% incidence in non AZT group;

liver damage; nail dyschromia (fingernails turn black); insomnia; impotence;

dementia; mania; ataxia (failure of muscular coordination); seizures; alopecia

(hair falls out). It is a fairly well established fact that AZT was designed to

kill the bone marrow. It causes neutropenia or leukopenia (loss of white blood

cells) or bone marrow aplasia. Bone marrow toxicity. White blood cells are the

basis of the immune system. T cells, granulocytes, those are all parts of the

immune system. You kill those with AZT and the immune system is gone. "

ISIS Press Release 18/03/09

 

The Golden Rice Scandal Unfolds #########################

 

Phase II clinical trials on children have been conducted with unapproved

experimental GM rice enhanced in pro-Vitamin A that has the potential to cause

birth defects and developmental abnormalities Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe

Cummins

 

This report has been sent to the United States Food and Drug Administration on

behalf of ISIS

 

Clinical trials of unapproved, uncharacterized GM rice on children

 

More than 30 senior scientists and academics signed an open letter condemning

 

researchers at Tufts University (Boston) in the United States for carrying out

clinical trials of genetically modified (GM) ‘Golden Rice’ on children [1]

(Scientists Protest Unethical Clinical Trials of GM Golden Rice). The scientists

claimed that the trials were in breach of the Nuremberg Code of Ethics brought

in at the end of the Second World War to prevent any repetition of the

experiments conducted by Nazi scientists including many on children.

 

The ‘Golden Rice’ in the trials (GR2) appears to be an experimental collection

of transgenic events still in the laboratory, uncharacterised in terms of basic

molecular genetics or biological and biochemical properties, not tested

pre-clinically on animals, or subjected to any other safety assessment.

 

Of the three studies listed on the US Clinical Trials website, two involved

children. The first, “Retinol Equivalence of Plant Carotenoids in Children” [2]

- a phase II trial to compare the vitamin A value of b-carotene in oil capsule,

spinach and Golden Rice - recruited 72 children 7 to 9 years of age, and the

start and finish dates were September 2004 and November 2005 respectively. The

second study, with the same title and also a phase II trial [3], recruited 72

children 6 to 8 years of age and registered start and finish dates July 2008 and

January 2009 respectively. No results are available for either of the studies

(as of 17 March 2009).

 

The third study [4], “Bioavailability of Golden Rice Carotenoids in Humans”,

listed as “ongoing, but not recruiting participants”, was a phase I trial on 6

adults 40 to 70 years of age. The start date was August 2004, and estimated

completion date August 2008. Again, no results are available; though an article

in Science (25 April 2008) [5] mentioned “a recent, soon-to-be-published study

among healthy volunteers who ate cooked golden rice, led by Robert Russell of

Tufts University in Boston.”

 

All the studies were done in the United States, though it appears that trials

were also carried out and/or intended elsewhere.

 

The Golden Rice Project website [6] (accessed 17 March 2009), stated that

“Golden Rice has gone through many tests since it was first obtained” Nine items

are listed; but no feeding trial on animals among them. The final two items are:

 

“8. Tests for beta-carotene bioavailability and bioconversion to retinol….with

deuterium-labelled Golden Rice fed to adults in USA and a small group of

children in China have been conducted. The former were highly successful and the

latter are being evaluated at present.

 

9. Feeding trials with human adults in China were carried out to measure the

effect of fat in the diet, on bioconversion and bioavailability.”
