*Artificial Blood Experiment: Is Your City Participating?*

[Guest guest]

This information could be very important to anyone who

might need a

blood transfusion and would be in ANY of these hospitals at the time.

 

Check for YOUR state and your local hospital.

 

I think this is shocking.

 

The Bush administration is turning Americans into human guinea pigs for

corporate experimentation and profit.

 

I think it won't be long before the Bushites and Republicans REQUIRE any

person or any entity receiving federal money, in the form of grants or

aid, to submit to being used as a guinea pig for medical experiments.

That would include all prisoners and all Medicare and Medicaid

recipients, and maybe all students receiving federally guaranteed

student loans.

 

The Bush theory is that if you take federal money, the federal

government owns you and your body.

*Artificial Blood Experiment: Is Your City Participating?*

 

Hospitals in Twenty Cities Take Part in Polyheme Trials

<< Northfield Lab's experimental blood substitute Polyheme is currently

in randomized phase III clinical trials recruiting patients WITHOUT

INFORMED CONSENT all over the country. At one point, it was being

tested in as many as 27 cities; it is still being tested in 23 hospitals

in 20 cities.

 

With the FDA's approval, Northfield Lab has recruited hospitals to

participate in the trial study with EXEMPTION FROM INFORMED

CONSENT requirements on study participants. Although Northfield Lab

claims that extensive information on the study has been made public, a

vast majority of the general public has NEVER heard of the trial.

 

Below is a list of the cities and hospitals that are currently

participating in the Polyheme trials. Check the list to see if you live

an area where you could become a trial participant WITHOUT YOUR

INFORMED CONSENT.

 

To opt out of the study, contact Northfield Labs

(http://www.northfieldlabs.com/contact.html) or a participating hospital

and request a blue bracelet. If worn, you will be exempt from the trial.
