The US refuses to allow the labeling of foods which contain genetically modified ingredients (like corn) to be labeled to indicate that fact so we are looking at the possibility of undeclared birth control “foods” rendering whole populations sterile.  The US Government, starting with George Herbert Walker Bush, has adopted the policy that genetically modified foods are the same as unmodified ones.  The sterility corn is therefore, under this policy, the same as natural corn.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;If the US has its way, all such products will be acceptable for international trade without any labeling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;The Natural Solutions Foundation, the leading Global Health Freedom organization&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/gm+foods/" rel="tag"&gt;gm foods&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/monsanto/" rel="tag"&gt;monsanto&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/sterility/" rel="tag"&gt;sterility&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/corn/" rel="tag"&gt;corn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/corn+products/" rel="tag"&gt;corn products&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/infertility/" rel="tag"&gt;infertility&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/codex/" rel="tag"&gt;codex&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=563</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:17:47 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Lack of Sunshine Causes One Million Deaths a Year</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9AFBDEB6-7061-4E6E-B256-7BEB2E9B1AEB/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thedoorway/"&gt;thedoorway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  The medical industry is far more interested in their bottom line than they are in YOUR good health. That's been proven time and again. Look to others to learn the truth that will set you free. You won't get it from them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/08/24/lack-of-sunshine-causes-600-000-cancers-a-year.aspx" title="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/08/24/lack-of-sunshine-causes-600-000-cancers-a-year.aspx"&gt;articles.mercola.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/thedoorway/512/7C49C75B-BD2C-41E7-AD9C-45A47164FB2C.gif" alt="Mercola" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ArticleHeading"&gt;Lack of Sunshine Causes One Million Deaths a Year &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The dangers of sun exposure have been greatly exaggerated, and the benefits highly underestimated.  Sun exposure is not the major reason people develop skin cancer. I know many of you might be surprised by this, but this is simply not the truth, and buying into this lie will most assuredly deprive you of the vital benefits the sun can provide.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;And one of the major benefits is lowering your risk of getting cancer -- the number one cause of death. As this groundbreaking study found, &lt;SPAN&gt;600,000 cases of cancer could be prevented every year&lt;/SPAN&gt; just by increasing your levels of vitamin D, and without question, the best way to obtain your vitamin D is by UVB sunlight falling on unexposed skin in doses that do not cause sunburn.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Even beyond cancer, the researchers pointed out that increasing levels of vitamin D3 could &lt;SPAN&gt;prevent diseases that claim nearly 1 million lives&lt;/SPAN&gt; throughout the world each year!&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;NO ONE is making a penny from this recommendation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/health/" rel="tag"&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/skin+cancer/" rel="tag"&gt;skin cancer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/healthcare/" rel="tag"&gt;healthcare&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mercola.com/" rel="tag"&gt;mercola.com&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/sunshine/" rel="tag"&gt;sunshine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/vitamin+d/" rel="tag"&gt;vitamin d&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/08/24/lack-of-sunshine-causes-600-000-cancers-a-year.aspx</clipSource><pubDate>Sat, 15 Sep 2007 20:10:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title> How High Fructose Corn Syrup Damages Your Body</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/F3219035-2316-47B4-AA33-FD1826F93991/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thedoorway/"&gt;thedoorway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Read and heed, for your health's sake. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/10/how-high-fructose-corn-syrup-damages-your-body.aspx" title="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/10/how-high-fructose-corn-syrup-damages-your-body.aspx"&gt;articles.mercola.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/thedoorway/512/C383F3BE-BAEF-47A9-B362-240C68CCF81F.gif" alt="Mercola" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ArticleHeading"&gt;

The FDA, ostensibly created to protect Americans' health, is hell-bent on destroying it, using the bottomless pockets of Big Pharma. When are Americans going to say "Enough!"? &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron36.htm" title="http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron36.htm"&gt;www.newswithviews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;FONT size="6" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"&gt;FDA 
          ANNOUNCES PLAN TO ELIMINATE VITAMIN COMPANIES&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;The 
        FDA, emboldened by its transformation into a &lt;A href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron34.htm"&gt;drug 
        company&lt;/A&gt;, has embarked upon an anti-American plan of interfering with 
        business and intentionally eliminating various dietary supplement companies 
        from the market. The FDA announcement came on Friday, June 22, 2007 under 
        the guise of a final rule for dietary supplement good manufacturing practices 
        (CGMPs).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"&gt;This 
        FDA rule will directly raise the price of dietary supplements for all 
        consumers. The FDA acknowledges this and says “We expect that the majority 
        of these costs will be borne by consumers of dietary supplements, who 
        will likely respond to the increase in prices by reducing consumption.” 
        Thus, the FDA is intentionally seeking to shrink the size of the dietary 
        supplement industry and reduce the influence of safe and effective options 
        to improve the dreadful trend in the health of Americans. The goal is 
        to leave toxic drugs as the primary health option. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/fda/" rel="tag"&gt;fda&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/health/" rel="tag"&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/healthcare/" rel="tag"&gt;healthcare&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/vitamins/" rel="tag"&gt;vitamins&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/minerals/" rel="tag"&gt;minerals&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/big+pharma/" rel="tag"&gt;big pharma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.newswithviews.com/Richards/byron36.htm</clipSource><pubDate>Sat, 30 Jun 2007 23:39:05 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Big Pharma Gets a Trillion Dollar Health Scam Passed</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/3FA77A7A-898A-4879-8D87-08916C4AB939/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thedoorway/"&gt;thedoorway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Yep, Big Pharma twisted enough arms in Congress to get its Medicare drug bill passed, during the wee hours of the night. Prescription drugs are higher in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. And now Big Pharma is passing more of that cost to Medicare, by not allowing them to negotiate lower prices for the millions of drug prescriptions they purchase annually. Big Pharma and Congress sold us out again. Even "60 Minutes" reported on this outrageous scam. See the movie clip on this page. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Trillion-Dollar-Health-Scam-19438.aspx" title="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Trillion-Dollar-Health-Scam-19438.aspx"&gt;v.mercola.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/thedoorway/512/F9C855D0-985C-4842-943E-1CD37001C735.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ArticleHeading"&gt;Trillion Dollar Health Scam&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Drug companies are billing the &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;ST1:COUNTRY-REGION _moz-userdefined=""&gt;&lt;ST1:PLACE _moz-userdefined=""&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;U.S.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/ST1:PLACE&gt;&lt;/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; public for AT LEAST $1 trillion. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This is, without any doubt in my mind, one of the &lt;SPAN&gt;biggest scandals in the history of the &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;ST1:COUNTRY-REGION _moz-userdefined=""&gt;&lt;ST1:PLACE _moz-userdefined=""&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;United States&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/ST1:PLACE&gt;&lt;/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This &lt;SPAN&gt;Medicare drug plan fiasco&lt;/SPAN&gt; enriches pharmaceutical companies, fleeces taxpayers, and forces millions of older Americans to accept inferior drug coverage -- while doing nothing to address the real reasons prescription drugs cost so much.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The financial impact of this legislation on taxpayers cannot be overstated. Government projections that the drug program will cost $400 billion over the next decade cannot be trusted, as existing Medicare programs cost four times more than was estimated when they were created. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The likely cost is &lt;SPAN&gt;at least $1.5 trillion over 10 years&lt;/SPAN&gt;, and much more in following decades as the American population grows older.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;I am absolutely SHOCKED that this ever made it to national TV on Sixty Minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Most Profitable Industry in the World&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;YOU Are the Solution&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/health/" rel="tag"&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/big+pharma/" rel="tag"&gt;big pharma&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/pharmaceutical/" rel="tag"&gt;pharmaceutical&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/medicare/" rel="tag"&gt;medicare&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/prescription+drugs/" rel="tag"&gt;prescription drugs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Trillion-Dollar-Health-Scam-19438.aspx</clipSource><pubDate>Sun, 24 Jun 2007 05:38:22 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The FDA Has Blood on its Hands</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/6C5A6DCB-AAD5-4BC8-B3AE-01E6AF26F17F/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thedoorway/"&gt;thedoorway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Dr. Ron Paul (M.D.) has been a champion of our health rights (among many things) for many years. He keeps trying to help force the FDA to do its job--protecting the health of Americans--instead of what it normally does--protecting the profits of Big Pharma, at the expense of American lives. They approve drugs known to cause health problems and try to invalidate and prohibit natural remedies known to benefit health.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The majority of the FDA's budget comes from Big Pharma. Is it any wonder then that the FDA's decisions aren't about health; they're about protecting Big Pharma's cash cows? That's why they're nearly always in bed with them, and not protecting our health.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Not in Our Name any more! &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/The-FDA-Has-Blood-on-its-Hands-18252.aspx" title="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/The-FDA-Has-Blood-on-its-Hands-18252.aspx"&gt;v.mercola.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/thedoorway/512/DB7D38E2-19B9-4D61-8B93-7FF48399E120.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="ArticleHeading"&gt;The FDA Has Blood on its Hands&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;Congressman

Is that the kind of country we want to leave our kids and grandkids? We spend more money on healthcare than any other country, but our dollars only buy us 37th place worldwide? Something's dramatically wrong with that picture. Call it GREED!
