New disease due to GM foods?

May 6, 2008

ah yes...Monsanto.....the number one sponsor of the American

Dietetic Association and the reason I refuse to be a member of their

organization. The evil ruler of the universe when it comes to

developing the poisons people put in their mouth on a daily basis.

As far as GMO's go..until very recently they were banned in

England. Over the last two years they have been allowed in the food

supply. Low and behold, allergies and asthma in children have

skyrocketed in just the last year. hmmmm.

Morgellons Disease has been in the news for some years now but I have

not seen a case yet. It is not a new disease because it was described

circa 300 years ago, but the incidence seems to be increasing since

2001.

Most Medline abstracts on this disease appear to regard it as a form

of " delusional parasitosis " . However, it was claimed recently that

analysis of cellulose-like " fibres " taken from the skin lesions of

Morgellons Disease sufferers show a DNA match with Agrobacterium.

See: CONTRIBUTION OF AGROBACTERIUM TO MORGELLONS DISEASE.

RB Stricker, VR Savely, A Zaltsman, and V Citovsky, San Francisco,

CA, Bethesda, MD, and Stony Brook, NY. (WAFMR) [Abstract 287 - Not

avaliable online but see: http://nielsmayer.com/morgellons07.pdf

Agrobacterium is a bacterium often used in GM research. Its genes,

inserted into GM plants, enhance cellulose synthesis. See:

If these genes were to get into humans, could they cause human cells

to synthesise cellulose? That would be a horrific scenario.

The thought of Monsanto, or other multinational companies, messing up

the genetics of basic food production in their search for GM foods

(for which they may become the world's main source of seed) makes my

flesh crawl.

Indeed, Morgellons Disease may have BOTH a physical (Agrobacterium-

cellulose-related) and a mental aetiology.

Hi Kimberly, all,

The UK had GMO crop trials going on in 2002, if not earlier already. GM

crops are not yet grown in a large scale here.

However GMO containing foods started in 1996.

I'd be mental too if I were synthesizing cellulose b/c some people were messing

around with genes.

Â Hi Kimberley.

Â Could you provide references?

Â After a quick search, this is what I came up with:

" Its stated mission is to 'improve the health of the public,' but with 15

percent of its budget--more than $3 million--coming from food companies and

trade groups, it has learned not to bite the hand that feeds it, " Sheldon

Rampton and John Stauber write. " 'They never criticize the food industry,' says

Joan Gussow, a former head of the nutrition education program at Teachers

College at Columbia University. The ADA's website even contains a series of

'fact sheets' about various food products, sponsored by the same corporations

that make them (Monsanto for biotechnology; Procter & Gamble for olestra;

Ajinomoto for MSG; the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers for fats

and oils). "

Â I had a talk with one of my patients yesterday, and he was mentioning how if

we want CM (for instance) to be recognised or to have power, we need to provide

documentation. Clear accurate documentation. I've always wished for places like

this list to be sources of this nature.
