Sewage with My Salad?

The fruits and vegetables you feed your family may have been grown in re-purposed sewage filled with pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Action Alert! Hundreds of thousands of tons of sewage sludge are spread each year on America’s forests and agricultural lands. This is commonly done with great secrecy. If you want to know… Continue reading Sewage with My Salad?

Good and Bad News in the War on Compounded Natural Medicine

The FDA listens to ANH-USA members and other critics in final rule. The agency, in its final rule governing the removal of medicines from a list of permitted compounded drugs, has agreed to notify interested parties in advance, as required by law. This is a victory, in that the agency’s original proposal from 2014 was… Continue reading Good and Bad News in the War on Compounded Natural Medicine

Natural Hormones on the Chopping Block Yet Again

UPDATE: Good news—in a group of documents dated November 3, 2016, the FDA has responded to our concerns, indicating that compounded hormone creams WILL NOT BE on the agency’s chopping block at the next advisory committee meeting. We are glad to hear that the FDA is only considering the elimination of patches; creams, gels, foams, and ointments… Continue reading Natural Hormones on the Chopping Block Yet Again

Golden Rice Is a Sham GMO Invention

“Golden rice” is a genetically modified rice product with murky beginnings. Calgene (the company that created Flavr-Savr tomatoes genetically modified with fish genes) held the first patent. It, and its inventor, Christine K. Shewmaker, apparently transferred to Monsanto when the company bought Calgene. Later on, the patent turned up at Syngenta under the names of… Continue reading Golden Rice Is a Sham GMO Invention

GM Corrupts Our DNA Code

GMOs are part of so-called “synthetic biology,” an attempt to synthesize and change the code of all living things so everything can be bought and sold as a product. But genetic modification obliterates millions of years of adaptation to the environment. Whether you look at it as evolution or the work of God, monkeying with… Continue reading GM Corrupts Our DNA Code

Genetic Engineering of Transgenic Creatures is Animal Abuse

Scientists have plans to pen up animals and force them to become sentient machines making proteins for agro-business and organs for humans. Animals are crossed with human genes to create transgenic creatures with organs that won’t provoke an immune response so they can be “harvested” and transplanted into humans. Most transgenic animals, if they survive,… Continue reading Genetic Engineering of Transgenic Creatures is Animal Abuse

GMOs Spread to Related Crops, including Organic

The USDA claims that GE crops can “coexist” with organic crops. However, the facts show otherwise. GE is “escaping” and contaminating natural plants. GE mutations can spread to crops in the same family. The Brassica family includes the source plant for canola oil as well as cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Napa cabbage, cauliflower, turnips,… Continue reading GMOs Spread to Related Crops, including Organic

Outcomes of Genetic Engineering Are Not Predictable

Genetic engineering outcomes are inherently unpredictable. Credible scientists have proven that genetically altered DNA can be horizontally transmitted—say, from your food to your gut bacteria. And while millions of people worry about what scientists are doing with GMOs in laboratories, a new angle has emerged: do-it-yourself “scientists” bioengineering in their basement. They’re using a kit… Continue reading Outcomes of Genetic Engineering Are Not Predictable
