Vol VII No. 761 - Part 1b

June 2, 2019 ... Carrie Fellner
MY COMMENT: Pancreatic Cancer from Roundup. You know that their two cancers were from something toxic that they both were expos...ed to. I know of several people that died from this same cancer.
.
..." In 2017, Mr Dunn was also struck down with pancreatic cancer at the age of 73, of an identical kind to his wife.
Neither Mr nor Mrs Dunn had a family history of pancreatic cancer, which has been linked to Roundup exposure in scientific studies overseas.
Ms Woolston was blindsided.
"Exact same pancreatic cancer, same spot, and he lived for about eight months," she said.
"We strongly believe it's [Roundup/glyphosate] that killed Mum and Dad prematurely, absolutely. Especially when we read their diaries and find out how much they were using and spraying. "...

Today is June 18, 2019 this story comes from Monsanto's home town of St Louis.
" By Greg Edwards – Reporter, St. Louis Business Journal
a day ago"...
..."Baye...r said it will spend $5.6 billion over 10 years to research glyphosate alternatives to Monsanto’s Roundup, the weedkiller that has cost the company more than $2 billion in damages in lawsuits involving cancer.
“We’ve listened. We’ve learned,” Bayer said in a statement on its website.
It’s part of a strategy by Bayer to mitigate the reputational damage it has suffered as a result of lawsuits claiming Roundup causes cancer. The company’s stock has plunged, leaving it with a market valuation of $56 billion, less than the $63 billion that it paid for St. Louis-based Monsanto and Roundup last year."...
..." The number of plaintiffs so far claiming damages from Roundup is estimated at 13,400. The next Roundup trial is scheduled for August in St. Louis."...

Latest Findings Come as Courts Levy More Than $2B in Judgements Against Bayer-Monsanto Over Cancer-Causing Glyphosate

Posted online by Business Insider on May 16,2019
MY COMMENT: Do you have non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease? 100 million people in the US alone have this con...dition. Non alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease while common would be the result of something you are eating that is in your food. Remember that GMO ingredients are throughout our food system. Add to that, many non-GMO foods including sugar cane, some wheat, nuts, beans are sprayed with Roundup/Glyphosate at harvest time to 'kill' the crop by drying it.
This puts Glyphosate residues into these non-GMO crops.
.
..."After examining the urine of nearly 100 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the researchers found that glyphosate levels were higher in those with liver inflammation and damage than those without. These results held true regardless of a person's age, race, or Body Mass Index (BMI).
As the most common form of liver disease, fatty liver disease affects up to 100 million people in the US alone. Patients with the disease that exhibit liver inflammation and damage are more likely to develop cirrhosis (advanced liver scarring) and liver cancer. "...

MY COMMENT: You may wish to comment on the information contained within this 'Draft for Public Comment' document. You have up to July 8, 2019 to ...contact the 'Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry' (a CDC (Center for Disease Control agency ) which is located within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
.
Glyphosate, is the 'key' herbicide ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup formula. Because Monsanto lost their U.S. Patent for Glyphosate as an herbicide back in 2000, over 750 toxic formulas that contain Glyphosate as the 'key' herbicide in the formulas, have been placed in the market place by other chemical companies.
Herbicides are extremely dangerous because you cannot wash herbicides off food crops like you can wash off most pesticides. All herbicides go inside all food crops they are sprayed on, and they go inside all mammals they are sprayed on.
Monsanto retains their U.S. Patent for Glyphosate as an antibiotic.

Health Effects of Glyphosate
.
..." An overview of the number of human and animal studies examining potential endpoints of concern from exposure to glyphosate formulations is presented in Figure 2-2. Results from available animal studies identify the following targets of toxicity:
.
MY COMMENT: Please note that among the observed serious health effects that were observed in test subjects, a serious body weight gain happened from oral ingestion (Glyphosate residues are in our food system today as well as in some non-GMO foods such as cane sugar.).
Plus kidney lesions were observed in male subjects, and we know that CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is at a serious level today with Dialysis clinics opening up in many cities in the U.S. to care for seriously ill CKD patients.
.
• Developmental effects: Histopathologic testicular lesions, decreased sperm production, and increased incidence of fetal skeletal malformations were reported in response to oral dosing of rat weanlings or pregnant rats with selected glyphosate formulations in the range of 5– 500 mg/kg/day.
• Endocrine effects: Decreased serum testosterone was noted in male rat weanlings administered a glyphosate formulation orally at 5 mg/kg/day.
• Body weight effects: Seriously depressed body weight gain was observed in mice administered a glyphosate formulation orally at 50 mg/kg/day.
• Renal effects: Histopathologic kidney lesions were noted in male rats gavaged once with a glyphosate formulation at 250 mg/kg.
• Hepatic effects: Increased serum liver enzyme activity and histopathologic liver lesions were reported in male rats repeatedly gavaged with a glyphosate formulation at 487 mg/kg/day.
• Hematological effects: Decreases in red blood cells, hematocrit, and hemoglobin, and increases in mean corpuscular volume and neutrophils were reported in mice administered a glyphosate formulation orally at 500 mg/kg/day.
• Reproductive effects: Increased percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm was reported among rats receiving a glyphosate formulation from the drinking water for 8 days at 640 mg/kg/day. "...

Maui Causes
ACTION ALERT: Please come, dressed in blue, to the 8th floor of the County building Thursday, May 23 at 10AM
Like most, I thought the sewage effluent pumped int...o the Lahaina injection wells was creating polluted ocean waves filled with infectious bacteria, harming both people and the reefs.
The County says that the cess that’s pumped underground is UV treated for bacteria and isn't polluted because we don't have any heavy industry here.
The ocean protectors say that we may not be pouring New Jersey style heavy industrial pollutants down our Injection Wells, but what does hit the ocean is a really huge volume of water that is in fact polluted with really high levels of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous AND it's highly acidic, and it IS killing our reefs.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER? KEEP READING...
Obviously it’s not the Mayor nor our County Council that is actually running Maui, instead, it’s the lawyers of our Corporation Counsel who control Maui. The ordinance Corp Counsel just proposed giving them veto powers over the Mayor and the County Council is proof of their intention to dominate over our elected officials.
Based on the testimony this week it’s clear that Maui’s corrupt Corporation Counsel is being pushed hard to appeal Maui’s Injection Well lawsuit to Trump’s deregulation-frenzied Supreme Court by Industrialists of all sorts who’s profits are increased through pollution, aka “The Pollution Industry”.
Maui’s Injection Wells case I'm told is a relatively straight forward issue over permits for wastewater hitting underground water which is then carried into the ocean.
The Pollution Industry wants to use Maui’s relatively simple Injection Wells case to allow the court to do away with permit requirements for ALL similar injection wells, even where the wastewater does include heavy industrial chemicals.
The court just deals with Maui's case so it's a relatively clean public relations issue for the court to say Maui's case is no big deal because Maui's wastewater is "relatively" clean.
Meanwhile, the entire “Pollution Industry” is lining up to pour REALLY bad stuff down their local injection wells without needing a permit to do it, pollutants that can’t be filtered, and which will eventually poison their local waters.
The world over will never forget that the Shit of Maui was used to give polluters nationwide free reign to destroy our nation’s shoreline. I can just smell the boycott.
What a legacy the corrupt “Dinosaurs” of Maui’s Corporation Counsel are dumping on us. We need to flush them out.

  • Joseph Kohn nothing new about it. well documented

  • Sandra Toliver Of course it did. The herbicides sprayed on it, are designed to make an insects stomach explode. It is in soda, chips, cereal, and practically every pre processed food, and every food derived from an animal, for they feed it to livestock. Why people don't make the connection between food, nutrition and health is beyond me.

Veganic Fruiticulture is the Fruitful Way
by Jesse Krebs, Ph.D.
From Fruiticulture
Veganic Fruiticulture is an approach to growing food that encompasses a respect for animals, the environment and human health. It is a form of agriculture that goes above and beyond the standards for organic farming by excluding the use of products derived from confined animals and by encouraging the presence of native wild animals on the farmland. Organic farmers are permitted to use animal ...products as fertilizers: manure, blood meal, bone meal, feather meal and fish emulsion.
Veganic Fruiticulture breaks the link between livestock operations for the production of organic plant-foods by using plant-based techniques for soil fertility such as: glacial rock dust, mulching, fruit and vegetable compost, green manure, wood chips, crop rotation, polyculture and other sustainable methods. A veganic maxim states that by feeding the soil, the soil will feed the plants and trees. Adding organic plant-based materials to the soil produces a rich, living soil that has a plethora of microorganisms, which in turn feed the plants and create long-term sustainable fertility.
Veganic Fruiticulture is the ultimate ideal for a sustainable, vibrantly thriving culture. There simply is no better way of living in harmony with Mother Nature and being true to our frugivorous nature than to create cruelty-free, abundant fruit forests in every open space available. Who needs a grass lawn anyway? Can you imagine a society where you can walk and freely pick your lunch from the trees that line the streets and fill the public parks and places? Fruit trees create fertility, abundance, and health.
We have a naturally symbiotic relationship with fruit trees. They tempt us with their sweet, tangy edibles so that we, in return, will spread their seeds to sustain their species. No life is lost in Veganic Fruiticulture—there is only a perpetuation of fertility, life, health and abundance. That is a life in harmony with nature—the foundational design element for all human systems, integrated harmoniously with the planet’s ecology. That is Veganic Fruiticulture!

MY COMMENT: The Trump administration has demonstrated complete ignorance concerning issues of health and welfare for the American people. I will ...never forget the day I witnessed (via a video recording) the then new President Trump with Andrew N. Liveris at his side in the 'oval office' as he, the president, signed a document that stopped the banning of Dow's chlorpyrifos. What no one mentioned that day was the $1 million that Liveris donated to help pay for Trump's inaugural ball, which prompted Trump to do a horrible deed to our children. It is very bad policy for a government to put the acquisition of money over the safety and welfare of children. And it is a very bad government policy to put the acquisition of money over the health of a population. As a result of herbicides in our food system we are seeing more cancer in our population today than we ever saw before in our history. Treatment of cancer does not come cheap. Our government is paying heavily for our medical costs while BIG Chemical along with BIG Pharma rake$ in the almighty dollar$ spent for chemical Chemo.
.
..." The report also suggests similarities between the Trump Administration’s support for glyphosate and its actions around a pesticide called chlorpyrifos that is the active ingredient in an insecticide made by Dow Chemical, now DowDupont. There is a large body of science showing that chlorpyrifos is very damaging to children’s brain development and that children are most often exposed through the food and water they consume. Chlorpyrifos was due to be banned from agricultural use in 2017 because of its dangers but the Trump administration postponed the ban at the request of Dow and continues to allow its use in food production. The Hakluyt reports says:
“The way the EPA under the Trump administration has handled Chlorpyrifos might be instructive in how it would handle new science or new developments related to glyphosate.” "...

MY COMMENT: Tomorrow May 9, 2019 will start the closing arguments in the third Monsanto Lymphoma trial. The verdict in this trial will determine Judge Chhabria's decision on wither or not to push for Monsanto/Bayer to agree on a $ettlement for the remaining plantiffs in his MDL here in California.
