On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved a viral cocktail to be

sprayed on foods we eat. This is the first time viruses have been

approved for use as food additives.

 

The FDA wants you to believe it will be safe to consume these

viruses every day for the rest of your life with no adverse health

effects. Not surprisingly, the FDA doesn't want you to know which

foods are adulterated in this manner, for fear you may not buy them;

thus, no labeling will be required.

 

This is a monumental announcement by the FDA, indicating they are

throwing all caution to the wind regarding the safety of our food

supply.

 

Are you willing to stand in line for a virus-laden sandwich? How do

you like the idea of buying virus-infested food for your family?

 

The first virally contaminated foods entering our food supply with

the blessings of the FDA will be luncheon meat and poultry.

 

Live viruses will be sprayed on foods such as cold cuts, sausages,

hot dogs, sliced turkey, and chicken.

 

At issue is the very real problem of a poor quality FDA-approved

food supply that is already full of diseased and sickly animals,

many of them imported from other countries.

 

The use of antibiotics during growth and radiation during food

processing is required by the fast-food animal farms owned by multi-

national companies to cover up the horrendous health of the animals

they wish to feed to Americans.

 

Animals in poor health are a friendly place for bacteria to grow and

prosper, especially after such meat goes to market.

 

Rather than address the source of the problem, the FDA wants to add

another adulteration into our food supply.

 

The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a rare

bacterium known as Listeria monocytogenes.

 

This bacterium is killed by cooking; however, it poses a problem in

meats that are cooked during processing and not cooked again prior

to consumption, so it can readily infect foods such as deli meats.

 

Yes, the FDA plans to use one infectious organism to fight another.

The carnage of battle will end up in your digestive tract along with

the victorious live viruses, which the FDA assures us will not

attack human cells.

 

However, they cannot possibly be certain the viruses will not attack

the friendly bacteria that make up the lining of your digestive

tract. And they want you to believe this is completely safe while

refusing to require the additive viruses to be listed on the food

label so that you would have a choice.

-

Turning Loose the Bacteria-Killing Viruses

 

The company that produces these biotech viruses is Baltimore-based

Intralytix, Inc. The viruses are known as bacteriophages, viruses

that kill bacteria, or phages for short.

 

Phages have been around a long time, living as parasites inside

many bacteria.

 

Intralytix uses biotechnology to grow viral phages in a culture with

Listeria, in theory teaching the viruses to recognize the bacteria.

The FDA-approved cocktail contains six different viruses intended to

attack one strain of bacteria.

 

This concoction is then sprayed on food. If Listeria is present in

the food, the bacteria will ingest the viruses. This results in

massive viral replication inside the bacteria, until such point as

the bacteria simply bursts.

 

This battle results in significant production of bacterial poisons

called " endotoxins " , as the bacteria tries to defend itself.

 

When the bacteria burst, these endotoxins are released. These,

along with the victorious live viruses, will now be on the food that

will be eaten.

 

The FDA and Intralytix would like us to believe that these viruses

will only attack the specified bacteria they are intended to kill

and will be harmless to humans. I'm sorry to burst their bubble, but

they can't possibly guarantee such safety.

 

It is true that the viruses, at least at this time, cannot

recognize human cells. However, the virus can potentially recognize

normal bacterial cells in the human digestive tract and may be able

to adapt to infect one or more of these friendly bacteria.

 

The FDA Certainly Knows There Are Risks

 

The FDA had some concerns about the amount of bacterial endotoxin in

the Intralytix product before it is sprayed; however, FDA tests

apparently showed that the product was adequately purified and so

they declared it safe if used as approved.

 

Will the FDA diligently monitor the quality of this product once it

is on the market, or will it go the path of many FDA-approved drugs

that the agency can't keep track of?

 

There is certainly a risk that humans will be exposed to excessive

amounts of endotoxin. This could come from the manufacturing of the

viral cocktail, the interaction of the viruses with bacteria after

being sprayed on food, and/or the interaction of the viruses with

bacteria in the digestive tract.

 

The human immune system is highly reactive and sensitive to

bacterial endotoxins. They provoke allergy, asthma, autoimmune

problems, and elevate cholesterol.

 

They also interfere with the healthy function of cells lining the

digestive tract. Researchers have demonstrated that the presence of

bacterial endotoxins can start cancer in the colon.

 

Additionally, the human immune system reacts directly to viral

phages. Thus, a person who eats a lot of processed deli meat is

certain to evoke an immune reaction to the viruses. What will this

reaction be? Allergy? Asthma? Autoimmunity? Cancer?

 

How can the FDA approve a food additive that it knows can induce a

variety of human immune responses? Phages are so good at disrupting

normal immunity that they are being considered for use as part of

organ transplant medicine.

 

The ingestion of significant amounts of viral phages into the human

digestive tract is a wild card full of unknown outcomes. For

example, it is certainly possible that these phages, which

constantly mutate in order to survive, are likely to find a way to

infect bacteria they were not intended to infect.

 

Since phages are parasites, they could hijack the friendly bacteria

of the digestive tract and turn them into viral machines, constantly

generating viral particles that are likely to confuse the human

immune system, if not directly infect the body. We know from history

that these viral phages can turn innocuous bacteria into a killer,

which is how cholera occurs.

 

Furthermore, the Listeria bacteria are not going to take the issue

lying down. They will develop resistance to the viruses over time,

as we have seen with the overuse of antibiotics.

 

Going down this path we are likely to have hundreds of viral food

additives in the food we eat, all designed to combat some possible

infection coming from poor quality food. Sooner or later we will

inadvertently create deadly new super-strains of bacteria and/or

parasitically infect the human digestive tract with an untreatable

infection.

 

There is also the very real possibility of unintended viral

recombination. What happens when a person with viral stomach flu

eats food containing a dose of this viral food additive?

 

It is certainly possible for the genetic material of the flu virus

to interact with the genetic material of the viral phages, provoking

an undesirable new viral infection.

 

Let's not forget that the FDA won't tell us which foods in the food

supply contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). Seventy percent

of the packaged food on grocery shelves already contains GMO

adulterated food.

 

These foods have viral promoter genes woven into the DNA of every

cell, a technique used to implant a pesticide toxin into every cell

of this fake food (see Fight for Your Health, chapter 15).

 

What happens when the viral phages interact with the viral promoter

genes in GMO food? What new virus will be encouraged to form?

 

Keep in mind that the FDA wants to conduct this experiment on our

food supply to protect a small minority, only about 2500 people, who

are made seriously ill by this infection each year. The ill are

mostly pregnant women, elderly with compromised immunity, and small

children.

 

It would be a lot more to the point if the FDA would simply warn

such people that eating these foods, due to their poor quality of

production, may be dangerous. What the FDA should really do is

improve the quality of our food supply, the true source of the

problem. Why expose millions of Americans to an unproven ingestion

of live viruses for the benefit of so few?

 

The FDA has failed miserably for the past century to protect the

public from the adulteration of our food supply by vested interests.

This is just one more insult added to a long list of injuries.

 

The Tip of an Iceberg

 

Intralytix has an agenda for the American food supply, as well as

for healthcare in general. This recent FDA ruling allows Intralytix

and other similar biotech companies to get their foot in a door that

should be slammed shut and bolted closed.

 

The company is also seeking FDA approval for viral sprays to treat

foods that could be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella, which

means that similar " trained " viruses could end up in a majority of

the protein foods in our food supply.

 

Intralytix sees financial opportunity. They have already licensed

their now FDA-approved viral spray to an undisclosed multi-national

company for use around the world. When the CEO of Intralytix, John

Vazzara, was recently asked about this partner company, he refused

to disclose their name. The grand profit-driven biotech experiment

on the health and well being of all Americans is now in full swing.

 

Of course, we will need new wonder drugs to combat the new bio-tech

produced infections. Americans will stay sick and the sickness-

driven bio-tech industry will flourish. The bio-tech industry will

make people sick on the front end and treat them on the back end.

It's a win-win situation for profit on illness.

 

The FDA is Rapidly Becoming a Public Enemy

 

Experimenting with viruses being added to the food supply is

incredibly dangerous and reckless. It is completely impossible for

the FDA to guarantee safety in the near term or the long term. Thus,

the FDA has made the bureaucratic decision that relative safety is

acceptable to them. What right does the FDA have to tamper with the

food supply in this manner?

 

It is quite clear that the Bush agenda has been to promote American

biotech companies as the new future for American prosperity.

Administrative opinions have trumped science in virtually every

situation wherein safety conflicts with profit.

 

The FDA will refuse to require labeling on food sprayed with

viruses, just as they refuse to require notification that food has

been genetically modified and contains toxins in every cell. The

reason is obvious; no person understanding these issues would buy or

eat such food. Thus, the FDA acts to hide the information from the

public to foster profits for biotech companies and the growth of the

biotech industry. This is a betrayal of the public trust.

 

The leaders of the FDA are personally responsible and need to be

held accountable. This means Andrew von Eschenbach, M.D., temporary

head of the FDA and his chief science officer, Scott Gottlieb, M.D.

These men are not only obsessed with approving risky drugs for the

benefits of Big Pharma, it is now clear that they are willing to

allow obvious adulteration of the food supply. They seek to control

what we eat, and they are tampering with survival of the human race.

 

The FDA does not truly know how safe viral phages are to consume on

a regular basis. They have no idea of the cumulative effect over the

course of a lifetime, especially as more of these viral cocktails

are added to the food supply. They have no way to measure how this

new type of adulteration in the food supply will interact with the

poor digestive/immune health of half the American population, in

combination with all the other serious adulterations already

approved by the FDA. The FDA lacks due diligence in honoring its

mandate to protect the American public.

 

Boycott Viral Tainted Foods, Support Your Sustainable Farmers

 

The only hope Americans have is to resurrect the quality of our food

supply. Doing so is against the odds, as there are billions of

dollars of profit-mongering taking our food supply in the wrong

direction. One day Americans will realize that food security is as

important to national security as any other topic. It is now crystal

clear that we cannot count on the FDA to do the job that Harvey

Wiley, M.D., envisioned one-hundred years ago.

 

How can any responsible parent feed virus-tainted food to their

children? The FDA should be forced to revoke this approval. Since

the FDA is refusing to make food companies list the viruses as

ingredients in food, consumers have no choice but to avoid buying

all foods that could be sprayed. I see no other way that safety can

be assured, since the FDA refuses to do its job and is putting

American's health at risk.

 

Every American has an obligation to support food security for our

nation. Congress must correct the leadership at the FDA and the FDA

itself. Americans must quit buying poor quality toxic food. Your

greatest ability to change this problem is based entirely on what

you purchase.

 

Get connected to the sustainable family farms in your community. Buy

meat that is range raised without antibiotics and synthetic growth

hormones. Demand that the food you are eating is labeled with a

country of origin. Buy American; buy locally-produced food whenever

possible. Support those who truly believe in being the stewards of

our land and food for our people and for future generations. These

good people are being squashed out of existence by multi-national

agribusiness, companies that could truly care less about the quality

of our food supply or the security and health of Americans. How you

spend your money is your most powerful vote. Vote for those who

care.
