GM plants, such as soybean, corn, cottonseed, and canola, have had foreign genes forced into their DNA. The inserted genes come from species, such as bacteria and viruses, which have never been in the human food supply.
Genetic engineering transfers genes across natural species barriers. It uses imprecise laboratory techniques that bear no resemblance to natural breeding, and is based on outdated concepts of how genes and cells work.[4] Gene insertion is done either by shooting genes from a "gene gun" into a plate of cells or by using bacteria to invade the cell with foreign DNA. The altered cell is then cloned into a plant. www.responsibletechnology.org...
The genetic engineering process creates massive collateral damage, causing mutations in hundreds or thousands of locations throughout the plant's DNA.[5] Natural genes can be deleted or permanently turned on or off, and hundreds may change their behavior.[6] Even the inserted gene can be damaged or rearraranged

Bt toxins (Bacillus thuringiensis) inserted into GM food crops to kill pests are reaching the bloodstreams of 93% of women and 80% of unborn babies because of the consumption of meat, milk, and eggs from livestock fed GE corn. This could turn bacteria in our intestines into pesticide factories. Animal studies show that DNA in food can travel into organs throughout the body, even into the fetus.
Unborn children... I'm mortified.
This is too much.
some hamster pups even begin growing hair inside their mouths.
No superhero powers here, only disgusting mutations and death.

I have been speaking to people about a lot of topics lately, the toxins in our food, the lack of food, the fact we are about to have a major food shortage and we will need to all become survivalists, even the issues with space weather that are affecting us, EVERYONE says "oh we wont see anything messed up in our lifetime, it's going to take hundreds of years for that to happen" Why don't people get that IT'S HAPPENING NOW!!!
We ARE in world war III, we ARE killing life all around us, the extinction rate of animals IS rediculous and occuring, we ARE heading for galactic centre, the oil IS in the sea where it really shouldn't be, the earthquakes ARE getting worse, the nutrients in the soil HAVE been depleted!! I could go on and on but i'm sure you get the picture, I am putting my survival plans in place as we speak, and I don't care who thinks i'm crazy!! I can feeeeeeeel the bubbles rising, it's not a joke any more!!
Love to all of ya x
The five major varieties—soy, corn, canola, cotton, and sugar beets—have bacterial genes inserted, which allow the plants to survive an otherwise deadly dose of weed killer. Farmers use considerably more herbicides on these GM crops and so the food has higher herbicide residues. About 68% of GM crops are herbicide tolerant.
The second GM trait is a built-in pesticide, found in GM corn and cotton. A gene from the soil bacterium called Bt (for Bacillus thuringiensis) is inserted into the plant’s DNA, where it secretes the insect-killing Bt-toxin in every cell. About 19% of GM crops produce their own pesticide. Another 13% produce a pesticide and are herbicide tolerant. www.responsibletechnology.org...

Lol.... ok...
Explain why humans have an apendix and what its for. Might help you understand what might be going on.

Thanks for you comments. It does stand to reason that your doc did you very well
as you cut out the toxins, you began to feel much better.
That is the most important part of all of this, taking care of ourselves so we can be well
and strong.
How in the world could we ever feel "good" with a bunch of pesticides in our bodies!

The most convincing evidence that pesticides are carcinogens comes from epidemiological studies. Farmers who frequently use 2,4-D have a six-fold increase in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Scientists believe that the use of lawn chemicals such as 2,4-D has been a significant factor in the 50% rise in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma over the past 20 years in the American population. (World health Organization. 2,4-D Environmental Aspects. Geneva, Switzerland, 1989.) 2,4-D has also been linked to malignant lymphoma in dogs. Pets are exposed to higher doses of pesticides because they are closer to the ground where concentrations are the highest. Parts of their bodies, such as their scrotum and armpits, are often directly exposed to pesticides. They also ingest pesticides when they are grooming themselves. Studies show that the risk of lymphomas doubled in dogs whose owners treated lawns four times a year. The lawn pesticides, mancozeb and chlorothalonil have been classified by the EPA as "probable" cancer causing chemicals in humans, as they have been found to cause cancer in animals. Mancozeb has also been found to react with sunlight to form a new compound the EPA categorizes as a "known" human carcinogen. The common lawn pesticide 2,4-D has been shown to increase the risk of lymphatic cancer in farmers six times the normal rate, according to a National Cancer Institute report.

Cotton?! Had no idea! That would explain some of the irritations and allergies. Thanks for the link.
I am moving soon from the city to have a piece of my own land and would like to grow my own crops and have been trying to find a list of sorts that are not GM but not successfully. I'd appreciate advice or a link. I haven't checked maybe ATS has a thread on that if not we should make one.

The cause of all this was/is the growth hormones that I had been ingesting for years via the food I was eating and the milk I was drinking. One can't expect to take growth hormones and not grow something. I can only imagine what the GM food is going to do long term.
