Other drug and chemical companies produce neonicotinoids.

really disingenuous to say the least....

Glyphosate https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Glyphosate is the major ingredient in Roundup which is being looked at to cause bee colony collapse also.

To know more about bees and there condition today look at this website. http://pierreterre.com/

Some of you are old enough to remember seeing this false advertising from our friends from Monsanto...

What neonicotinoid does Monsanto produce?

Monsanto’s GMOs Alter DNA of Bacteria to Produce Pesticides in your Gut

The scariest thing about GMOs, to me, is that we really don’t know much about them. There’s almost no concrete evidence out there that proves the danger of consuming GM foods to humans. Wonder why that is?

There has only been one study done on the effects of GMOs in humans.

ONE.

And a pretty important little piece of knowledge from the lone study back in 2004 was gained — that GM genes effectively transfer into the bacteria living inside our intestines, causing them to carry out the altered genetic function — which in some GM foods, is PRODUCING PESTICIDES.

Roundup-Ready Gut Flora

The human subjects of the study who ate Roundup-Ready soy, courtesy of Monsanto, were shown to have bacteria in their gut with the same gene that was altered in the soy to withstand the deadly doses of herbicides given to the crop.

So my gut germs won’t be killed by chemical herbicides, you say? Yeah that doesn’t sound too bad. Except, disrupting the delicate balance of healthy intestinal flora, is a serious health gamble. You don’t want to go around messing with this stuff.

Without that normal, probiotic bacteria functioning as it should, your health is shot. Your immune system cannot function. You can’t digest foods. Your “bad” bacteria begins to take over, causing holes in your gut to develop and toxins to produce and leak out into your bloodstream.

We don’t know how altering the genetic makeup of the beneficial bacteria we need to keep our bodies healthy, will affect it in the long run. The thought of having Monsanto-tampered living beings constantly inside my body, does make me want to vomit, however.

extensively in the Harvard Health Publication: The Autism Revolution by Martha Herbert, MD, PhD, with Karen Weintraub, including strategies like consuming organic/avoiding processed foods. Sounds banal, but isn't.

The Autism Revolution
by Martha Herbert, MD, PhD, with Karen Weintraub

[img][/img]

After years of treating patients and analyzing scientific data, prominent Harvard researcher and clinician Dr. Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism and a transformative strategy for dealing with it. Autism is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child’s genes and destined to remain fixed forever, as we’re often told. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor: perhaps a genetic mutation, some toxic exposures, a stressful birth, a vitamin deficiency, and a series of infections. And while other doctors may dismiss your child’s physical symptoms—the diarrhea, anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, immune challenges, and seizures—as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. In The Autism Revolution, she teaches you how to approach autism as a collection of problems that can be overcome—and talents that can be developed. Each success you achieve gives your child more room to become healthy and to thrive.

Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, shore up the immune system, reduce stress, and open the door to learning and creativity—all by understanding and truly meeting your child’s needs. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits—for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and your next baby as well.

A paradigm-changing book that offers hope and healing for the millions of families who have autism in their lives, The Autism Revolution shows that there’s plenty you can do every day to give someone you love the best possible gift: a life lived to the fullest potential.

and I am one of those people hurt by Monsanto chemicals and the only way to get healthy again is to eat organic.

Somehow they believe that this is the fault of the Obama admin. Not even bringing Bush into the picture, that this is somehow purely Barack Obama's fault lol. They keep saying that we need Ron Paul to stand up to these evil companies. So when I replied with, "How? Through completely unregulated purely free market capitalism?" Now they're taking their time getting back to me. No doubt taking their side of it to their own crazy forum.

Seriously, though. Nowadays, Monsanto is the #1 reason for instituting strict gov't regulation. But I feel like the FDA is neutered. What can be done to fix it?

It shoulders the task of forming us and monitoring us from cradle to grave, and teaching us to want the things it wants us to want. It is not merely a matter of owning the police and corrupting the politicians. Capital has corrupted the academic study of economics to furnish an ideological superstructure, and the official state religion, and it has corrupted the study of psychology into the perverted creature called Marketing to provide it with the means to condition humans into predictable docile consumption units and debt creation mules. It is taking direct control over pedagogy. It no longer waits for willing workers and acquisitive consumers, but in full consciousness it embraces the task of molding their minds to serve its ends exclusively, from the womb onwards. Which is all to say, capitalism has become a self aware totalitarian project, albeit one with a hundred, or a thousand, or even ten thousand Dear Leaders, each pursuing the same social control program, in perfect accord with each other as how the rest of us are to be treated and thought of, even as they strive to be the capo di tutti capi, the Alpha Noah Cross.

And it is the information age. What does it say about us if corporations are going to be buying information so that they don't face regulations? What are experts for if not to make good information available to all.

sold out to Monsatan?

Thanks for the thread, MindMover.
