DANGERS OF PSYCH DRUGS IN PREGNANCY

The Senate is about to approve legislation (Mothers Act – S.1375) which mandates the indoctrination of pregnant and nursing mothers into the use of extremely dangerous psychiatric medication. We already know this class of medication poses serious health risks to both mother and baby. Consequences to the baby are now proven to cause nerve-related changes that can adversely affect health for a lifetime.

This Big Pharma legislation was innocuously crafted under the pretense of helping pregnant mothers deal with stress and mood. On the surface it is made to look like a helpful public policy that any Senator would want to support. The reality is that pregnant and nursing mothers have become a Big Pharma target market and this legislation locks in taxpayer funds to dispense psych drugs to pregnant and nursing mothers – guaranteeing that Big Pharma will get billions for poisoning the most vulnerable members in our society.

PRESS RELEASE: Consumer organizations launch campaign demanding right to referendums

March 4, 2008
www.eu-referendum.org

Six non-governmental organizations (NGOs), collectively representing consumers from all 27 European Union (EU) countries, today announced the official launch of a campaign for citizens to have the right to vote in referendums whenever significant changes to laws affecting them are made at either national or European level. In particular, they are demanding that all EU citizens should immediately be given the opportunity to vote in referendums on the Lisbon Treaty.

Arguing that the EU is increasingly favouring the interests of big business over those of its own citizens, the six organizations say that unless this situation is reversed and European citizens are given the right to be directly involved in political decision-making, the European political system will rapidly degenerate into a dictatorship where democracy, freedom of choice and the privacy rights of individuals are routinely violated.

Paul Anthony Taylor, External Relations Director of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and the campaign’s coordinator, said: “Last November, for the thirteenth year in a row, the EU’s auditors refused to sign off its financial accounts citing errors of legality and presumed attempts at fraud. Then, only two weeks ago, EU politicians were openly accused of fraud and embezzlement on a massive scale and an official investigation was launched that could potentially lead to the imprisonment of a number of MEPs. Corruption, fraud and an overall lack of accountability are becoming increasingly rife amongst the European Union’s political elite and it is clearly time that ordinary citizens are given a direct say in the way that the EU is developing. Simply giving people one vote every four or five years - to elect their political representatives - is not nearly enough in any political system that still professes to be a democracy.”

Senate's Plan to Ban Aspartame 'Deferred': Health Committee Passes The Buck to the FDA

Hawaii Reporter
Freedom to Report Real News
By Betty Martini
February 26, 2006

HONOLULU, HI - A blazing epidemic ravages the planet. Everywhere are reports of the disabled and dying. There are 92 symptoms, seizures, comas, sexual dysfunction, death are listed by the FDA. Medical texts by eminent doctors define the causation and delineate a preventive to stop the slaughter. Thousands of case histories and dozens of peer reviewed studies by top professionals and research institutions confirm the source of the sickness, a sweet addictive toxin poisoning our foods and beverages: aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal.

But Government intransigently refuses to protect the people since big money is involved. Let people die, the profits of the poisoners must be protected, whatever the cost to citizens. The political influence and bottomless checkbooks of the producers overwhelm reason and evidence.

It's tobacco Redux. Nicotine murders millions, an endless rampage powered by greed, addiction and profit. But nicotine is known as a killer and its adult users are aware of it. Aspartame is in children's vitamins, even vaccines, plus thousands of prepared foods and "diet" products. No "Warning, this product includes a deadly poison" labels tell gum chewers and cola drinkers that they're putting death in their mouth. No warning for pregnant women aspartame causes birth defects.

So it will continue in Hawaii. On Monday the Senate Bill 2506 to ban aspartame was "deferred". Senator David Ige and the committee decided that FDA has this responsibility.

James Turner, renowned consumer attorney fought the approval of aspartame with world famous neuroscientist Dr. John Olney and explained: "The toxicity of this deadly carcinogen is well known. The FDA not only refused to approve aspartame for years, but asked the Department of Justice to indict G.D. Searle, the manufacturer, for submitting fraudulent test reports to get the poison approved.

Widely Reported New Zealand Study Bases Its Findings On Only 14 Cases

NORML Responds To Latest Marijuana And Lung Cancer Fears

Washington, DC: The results of a recent study from New Zealand reporting a nearly six-fold increased risk of lung cancer for individuals who smoke cannabis are based on only 14 cases, and have never been replicated in large-scale population case-control studies, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said today.

The widely reported study, published Friday in the European Respiratory Journal, assessed the relative risk of lung cancer associated with marijuana smoking in 79 cases and 324 controls. Of the 79 cases in the study, 70 reported smoking tobacco and 21 smoked cannabis.

Investigators reported that light-to-moderate lifetime cannabis use "was not associated with a significantly increased risk [of lung cancer]." By contrast, researchers reported that the 14 subjects in the study with the highest exposure to cannabis (more than one joint per day for 10 years) had a 5.7 times higher relative risk of lung cancer compared to controls. Overall, subjects who reported having ever smoked tobacco experienced a nearly seven-fold increase in lung cancer risk. By contrast, subjects who reported having ever used cannabis did not experience a statistically significant increased risk of lung cancer compared to non-using controls.
