Labelling of Supplements
How do you like that? The MSG Bribery (they call it lobbying) won.
Labelling of Supplements
Don't know if this is your cup of tea, itâ€TMs not only relevant to supermarket stuff but to all pharmacy meds and health food. Also don't know if EC is interested or has a legal eagle who thinks it's worth running with. Whatever – here it is.
Is the label on a food package, packet, box, bottle, a contract between the manufacturer and the purchaser? If so, does full disclosure apply? Is the following a good definition of ‘full disclosureâ€TM?
Reveal, show, uncover, make known.
Is this a legally acceptable definition?
My final query is – isnâ€TMt failure to provide ‘full disclosureâ€TM a criminal offence?
If so, consider the millions of products on shelves in all countries.

Most natural substances and supplements are all recognized by the body as "natural" and are thus safe and easily metabolized.
Now, as natural supplements are usually concentrates, one must learn how to properly use them for maximum effect. Every supplement comes labeled w/ "suggested use" so it is advised to follow those recommends.

I take several of the suggested supplements from his protocol. I don't take all of the remedies to kill the candida but trust me it's a lot to keep up with for sure. However, Bill has cured his own sickness by taking these very things including quite a few supplements. If these supplements wasn't needed I'm sure he wouldn't suggest them.
I trust what Bill provides here at EC more than anybody else. It's not that I don't trust anybody else. He just has proven to know what he's talking about. Supplements are much much more safer than prescription meds. For anybody to say they aren't has gotten bad information. Thanks & God Bless!

I think the biggest risk of taking supplements the wrong way is lack of absorption causing lack of effectiveness.
I've seen a few people just mindlessly gobble down supplements and they haven't the faintest idea what they are doing. Knowing the active ingredient, the required dose, when is best time and empty stomach or with food are the important things to know. Blindly doing what it says on the bottle is another mistake. Some people need to be hand held through the process while others take on the responsibility.

I second what Prioris is saying.
We have had traditional and natural doctors help us with diagnosis at times....once a traditional doctor diagnosed cat scratch fever (and I thought it was just a song! ) in my son. It was a difficult diagnosis and I don't think I would have ever figured it out. Sometimes having bloodwork done has been helpful.
We have, at times, gotten advice from naturopaths that has been helpful to us.
And I am grateful for medical people who have helped us with emergencies...
Unfortunately, we have also gotten some misdiagnoses, bad advice, poor care etc from some medical professionals.
At the same time, the more I learn and study on my own, the easier it is for us to diagnose and treat many things inexpensively, safely, and naturally at home. And Earth Clinic has been a great blessing to me in that process!

MD vs Naturopathic Doctors
The ideal situation is that you go up the learning curve and become your own doctor and minimize your dependence on them. The more chronic medical problems you have, the more you want to go down this route.
MD vs Naturopathic Doctors
I go to a regular M.D. at a clinic nearby for now but of course need to take the usual blood tests and all. My question is if something needs taken care of I am def. not going this conventional way ever again. So is it better to get a diagnosis if need be from a regular doctor first and then go see a natural doctor for help? Reason is of course money as a regular clinic doesn't charge as much as an N.D. So if all is well I wont bother with the N.D... Or is it just better to see the N.D. if appt. is available right off the bat..
Hope this makes sense. Thank You

Our own Congress gave protection to GM producers this year by barring any injunctive relief which might have come at the GMO companies in various suits against them. Google "the Daily Show, GMO injunctive relief" and you should come up with the amazing story of how these Special Interests control DC. And Dr Oz, Dr Mercola and others are trying their best to blow the whistle on this crisis.

"Dear friends,
Across the USA, millions of bees are dying, threatening our food supply. Scientists blame one group of pesticides some of which have just been banned in Europe. A new bill could save America's bees, but big Agriculture and the pesticide industry are lobbying hard against it. We only have days to make sure Congress acts to stop the Chemical Armageddon -- sign the emergency petition now!
Quietly, across the USA, millions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food. A new bill this week could ban one group of deadly pesticides and save bees from annihilation, but only if Congress feels the sting of public opinion.
America's bees are facing a chemical Armageddon -- just last week, 50, 000 died in a single car park in Oregon after being exposed to pesticides, and last winter over 50% of all California's bees died. Leading scientists blame one group of pesticides called neonicotinoids. The evidence is so compelling that the entire European Union has begun banning them, and the Save America's Pollinators Act could impose a ban on these deadly poisons in the US.
Now it's up to us to get our politicians to save America's bees. Big Agriculture and powerful chemical companies like Bayer are already lobbying hard to stop the bill, but if we show an overwhelming public support for a ban, we can counter their influence. Sign the petition below and tell everyone -- when we reach 250, 000 signers, we'll take Avaaz's giant inflatable bee to Capitol Hill to tell Congress to save our bees:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/usa_save_the_bees/?beiDUdb&v=27215
Bees don't just make honey, they are vital to life on earth, every year pollinating 95 types of fruits such as avocados, almonds, apples, and that's just the A's -- with an estimated $30bn value. Without immediate action to save bees, many of our favorite fruits, vegetables, and nuts could vanish from our shelves.
Recent years have seen a steep and disturbing global decline in bee populations -- some bee species are already extinct and some US species are at just 4% of their previous numbers. Scientists have been scrambling for answers. Some studies claim the decline may be due to a combination of factors including disease, habitat loss and toxic chemicals.
But increasingly, independent research has produced strong evidence blaming neonicotinoid pesticides, forcing the European Union to temporarily suspend use of one or more of these bee killers. But, in the US, the EPA has been slow to react -- their review won't be completed until 2018 condemning our bees to 5 more years of chemical Armageddon.
This issue is now coming to the boil as major new studies have confirmed the scale of this problem, and Representatives Blumenauer and Conyers have introduced legislation. If we can get other members of Congress to act, we could shut down once and for all Bayer's influence on policy-makers and scientists. The real experts -- the beekeepers and farmers -- want these deadly pesticides prohibited until and unless we have solid, independent studies that show they are safe. Let's support them now. Sign the urgent petition to Congress now, then forward this email:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/usa_save_the_bees/?beiDUdb&v=27215
We know we can win on bees. Last April, over 2. 5 million of us signed a petition calling on the EU to adopt a ban on bee killing pesticides and won! And in the US, nearly a million of us persuaded the EPA to review their position on these poisons. Now let's go one step further towards saving bees!
With hope,
Iain, Luis, Anne, Alex, Allison, Ricken, and the whole Avaaz team

Have you seen the pictures recently released on the outcome of rats being fed GMO food? The experiment was done in France. I saw the pictures in one of my newsletters from the Organic world and also on Natural News. First off, I feel so sad for the rats but second, that should be enough to want to stop Monsanto in its tracks by all of us!
And isn't it interesting to see all the countries that won't allow GMO's but the US is fine with it? I don't get it... I hope people wake up and don't buy the lies Monsanto is propagating literally and figuratively! Lisa

But, nevertheless, Monsanto's GMO is still constantly working ruthlessly to achieve blanket status quo acceptance and recognition throughout the world. I've just read an astonishing article in Natural News that confirms that scientists, in New Zealand of all places, have just genetically engineered a mutant cloned cow that is being pumped full of synthetic hormones and goodness knows what else in order to help feed human babies with allergen-free milk!! How crazy is that ?
You don't have to be a top scientist to already know, from the independent research, that milk causes allergies because all the necessary enzymes in the milk that help human digestion have been inactivated and destroyed by the pasturization process -- another remarkably unhelpful scientific process that is supposed to help us avoid diseases, but which, instead, causes serious allergic reactions throughout whole populations as a serious side-effect.

They included a video made by Nutiva, the leading maker of organic hemp, coconut, and chia superfoods. I know some of us are working to stay informed regarding the subject of GMOs.
The title of the video is "The Video Monsanto Does Not Want You To See"

I am just beginning to investigate this, & there is an Alarming lack of info!!!! For one thing, most Doctors these days cannot distinguish between smallpox & chicken pox. Not to fault them, few have seen smallpox in years. I am sure there must be 'old remedies'. Can we learn of them before it is too late.... when & if there are no vaccines, etc...
Are any old remedies available??? Ever hopeful...

Has any one else seen this information? Sounds like our food could be sprayed with agent orange!!!
Another article was about trans-fats and the fact that it is now knows that they are terrible for the heart but also for the brain and maybe one of the causes of the obesity epidemic as the brain doesn't know anymore when to tell you to stop eating. But.... Are they going to do anything to ban them? I don't think so! It seems that here in Switzerland trans-fats are now allowed, at least not in restaurants, no idea whether they are allowed in the food sold in supermarkets. But then MSM is not allowed here either, neither is Melatonin! Still... little by little things seem to be changing! Let's see......
There is a previously unknown micro-fungal-like organism with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It is able to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. It is found in high concentrations in Roundup Ready soybean meal and corn, distillers meal, fermentation feed products, pig stomach contents, and pig and cattle placentas. This is a threat 'not only' to crop animal production, but to human health as well.
In Argentina and Paraguay, doctors and residents living in GM soy producing areas have reported serious health effects from glyphosate spraying, including high rates of birth defects as well as infertility, stillbirths, miscarriages, and cancers.
It is urgent to examine whether the side-effects of glyphosate use may have facilitated the growth of this pathogen, or allowed it to cause greater harm to 'weakened' plant and animal hosts. It is well-documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40 plant diseases.
NOTE: Glyphosate dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; reducing the bioavailability of nutrients in feed; which in turn - weakens and causes animal disorders... Bringing to mind "you are what you eat."
It's also reported that Roundup adjuvants bond with DNA - linking it to outbreaks of plant disease and implicating it with animal reproductive failure, which may explain the escalating frequency of infertility and spontaneous abortions over the past few years in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horse operations. These include recent reports of infertility rates in dairy heifers of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%.
Dr. Don M Huber, Emeritus Professor Purdue University, APS Coordinator, USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System (NPDRS) had expressed dire warnings to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on January 27. But to no avail... Vilsack gave blanket approval to all genetically modified alfalfa. And following orders from President Obama, he also removed buffer zone requirements. This was seen as a deliberate move to contaminate natural crops and destroy the organic meat and dairy industry which relies on GM-free alfalfa. Such genetic contamination will give the biotech industry complete control over the nation's fourth largest crop.
Criminally immoral and irresponsible, Monsanto and other biotech firms vociferously block independent research. They coerce or bribe representatives, governments and regulatory agencies, even globally, with little or no regard to the environment or human life.
Tom Laskawy at Grist estimated that in 2008, nearly 200 million pounds of glyphosate was poured onto US soils. But notes that "exact figures are a closely guarded secret thanks to the USDA's refusal to update its pesticide-use database after 2007. "... a figure that more than doubles what the EPA estimates was used in 2000.

Where did you get that ridiculous figure? Healthcare spending in Canada is around 12% of their GDP. Spreading falsehoods does no one any favors. Another reason people really need to research for themselves.

Big problem is the people who do have the individual stamina and personhood to use natural therapies mostly, and conventional meds only when necessary, are the minority. European naturalist couldn't gain enough signatures to slow or stop the (I think) Feb 2011 ban, so it's a big win for pharma.
