Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 new disease due to GMO foods???!!! i don't normally do this, but i was so shocked by this article that i thought i would post it for everyone's benefit. the video is really interesting also. according to the article, people have been growing some kind of plastic fibers out of their skin. has anyone ever heard of this or had a patient with these sort of symptoms? http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/01/this-company-may-b\ e- the-biggest-threat-to-your-future-health.aspx?source=nl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 > new disease due to GMO foods???!!! > Just a quick reply... The disease they are referring to is Morgellons's disease and it was first reported in France a few centuries ago. Agrobacterium (the bacteria that seems to cause the disease) has always been found " in the wild " . It's the one that causes crown gall diseases on trees (ever saw those trees in forests with a hug " bump " on their trunks or branches?). http://www.i-sis.org.uk/agrobacteriumAndMorgellons.php has some less " sensationalisitc " information.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Artemis, Thank you! Between you and me, I'm glad there's at least one other biologist on this list. In recent years I've taken the position that I absolutely will not take questions from students or fellow list members who cite Dr. Mercola and information from similar lists. We have Pub Med and Pub Med Central (fully open access) now in the 21st Century. I hope a fair percentage of any list can step up to the integrity of both Western and Oriental sciences. Regarding the autoimmune madness, we all have cellular inclusions bodies from our entertaining Western diets preserved with tonnage of nitrites and the wide world of preservatives. Consider the " normal " childhood of Cocoa Puffs, MacDonald's milkshakes, the infinite variety of snack foods, processed meats and super sized Cokes. That and the self-enforced immobility of TV and computers. No sky and lots of intracellular inclusion bodies by way of preservatives. I'll be waiting for the Pub Med Central review papers in support of the Western science, or someone's conspiracy theory. But I'll pass on Mercola. Respectfully and gratefully, Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I didn't know either, it is one of the most received and read.His commentary is just that commentary, but he lists may papers and has citations that have even more papers that i went and tracked down from the venues of Pub Med and Medline and others. His information about 80% of the research going the way of the group that financed the research was important to understand as is Dr. Deepok Chopra's definition of teliology. Predetermining the outcome of research to suit the manufacturing companies, well, science ghost writers as I have run into Medical Science writers that push propaganda for the Marketers that pay for the advertising in professional associaiton publications, I am thankful to Dr. Mercola for helping to define the open boundaries of " misinformation " and " bad science " , it is everywhere.Sincerely,Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology : mrsegmen: pinevillage: Tue, 6 May 2008 05:38:06 -0700Re: TCM - Re: new disease due to GMO foods???!!!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hello, One of my issues with Dr Mercola is that he quotes only papers that supposrt his point of view. As a scientist I liek to hear evidence from both sides... then make up my own mind. Artemis - I didn't know either, it is one of the most received and read.His commentary is just that commentary, but he lists may papers and has citations that have even more papers (....) - I didn't realize there was a stigma regarding Dr. Mercola's site.
