Stop the Shot Litigation about to be re-filed!
URGENT FUNDING NEEDED
As the Judge said, “Your clients are winning…” but we still did not have “standing” to challenge the FDA’s illegal approvals of the flu vaccines! That’s about to change.
You can read the history of the case so far here:
The November NY Case: Lawyers Video Report: www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3933
The December NJ Case: www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3970
WELL, WE ARE READY TO GO BACK TO COURT
With new vaccine mandated clients —
However, this time we are not “telegraphing our punches” by announcing our clients in advance! Last night I emailed the 13 documents, two of them over 30 pages each, which will make up the initial filing, to our lawyers in DC who will actually file the case. Once filed, we will post the Brief and Complaint on this web site.
IT’S TIME TO FUND THE “STOP THE SHOT” LITIGATION.
The H1N1 vaccine is the perfect example of “Obamacare” in action: the govt bought $6.4 billion worth of vaccines, then the govt (FDA) approved the vaccines (we say, “Illegally!”) then the govt (CDC) recommended the vaccines and then the govt (HHS) distributed them… all without fully following their own drug approval rules!
This type of litigation is expensive. So far it’s been mostly done with volunteer work, but now the lawyers in DC need some funding to cover the cost of their associate who is actually doing the leg work. We also need to cover the filing fees. Natural Solutions paid the filing fees in November. Our ally in this case, author, nutritionist and researcher Dr. Gary Null is covering his lawyer’s costs.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO COVER THE DC LAWYERS
Who have been working “pro bono” to this point, but need funding to continue.
IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DONATE FOR THIS PURPOSE, please email me immediately. We need to talk. A few $1,000+ donations would go a long way! But, the total cost of this case could be a hundred thousand or more. And make no mistake about it: this case is vitally needed if we are going to protect our children and ourselves from forced vaccination. Your PUSH BACK, with 2.8 million emails to state and federal decision makers stopped national mandatory vaccinations. This lawsuit will de-license flu vaccines, protecting the public from the harm such vaccines will surely cause.
All donations, no matter how small are appreciated. For other donations to the litigation fund, you can directly use our new PayPal donation button:
‘Nough said. Who out there is willing to make this happen? I promise you, it will be money well invested.

Hello, Gen. Bert, Dr. Rima and Ralph:
Would HealthFreedomUSA be willing to sign on as a supporting organization? (see below)
We will be launching our website tomorrow and it will have details. We want as many nongovernmental organizations as possible on the list when we announce.
You’re doing important work. I think there are many points of cross-over and confluence, where we can work together… to do this type of collaboration justice… I am hoping 2010 is a turning point…
Trust all is well…
All Best,

Tom Harkin’s fake “Food Safety” bill, S 510 and John McCain’s fake “Supplement Safety” bill S 3002 are dangerous to your heath and deadly to your freedom!
How to stop them? Generate Huge Opposition and GROW it by dissemination! We are pleased to say that about 16 health freedom and consumer groups have followed our lead and taken up this battle. That is wonderful. Our momentum and leadership are what you, and the other groups, rely on. Our numbers are what the decision-makers respond to.

This Valentine’s Day, You’ll be Saying “I Love You, Codex”
1,000 times Over If You Choose To Do Nothing
Join NSF’s NO GMO Forum, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-genetically-modified-foods/join
This is in response to an email bemoaning (quite correctly, as it happens) what is happening to the US and its food supply. But rather than just bemoan it, I have a different take on the situation.
First, a true story:
Years ago, just after General Bert and I founded the Natural Solutions Foundation, I contacted the founder and president of the major glyconutrient MLM and told him that he would be put out of business if Codex was permitted to ratify the 2005 Vitamin and Mineral Guideline. I knew that without support from the wellness industry as well as consumers, it would be ratified on July 4, 2005 at the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as, indeed, it was.
He told me, through his special assistant, that he was not worried because he had been promised that if he helped to bring in Codex into the US and Canada, his “reward” would be that his would be the only line of nutrients available in the EU.
I asked him what about the people who depended upon his products here, and firmly believed that they were the reason that cancer, autism, ADD and a host of other serious diseases and disorders were either gone or under control.
The answer?
“Business is Business!”
This man was also deeply involved with the MLM industry organization.
End of true story.
The writer of the post on the GMO forum said that she had been fighting this battle for a long time. I have been fighting this war for a long time, too.
It is clearly up to us, each one of us. So here is my question to you all, each and every one of you: What are YOU doing to organize your community, to take the call for a total ban on GMOs and the fight against the McCain/Harkin bills, S 3002 and S 510, to your communities of interest?
Have you been out to your local farmers’ market, your health food stores armed with flyers and Action Item information and directions?
Have you sent emails with the action items out to every single person on your lists with a short note saying this is important to you and you believe it is important to them, too?
Have you written or called the supplement companies you are buying products from, asked if their materials are free of GMO sources, how do they know and, if not, what they are doing about replacing them so that they are free of them?
Have you asked your tea and coffee, snack and other food companies if their products are free of GMOs and, as above, how do they know and what are they doing to change that?
Have you stopped, absolutely stopped, buying prepared and prepackaged foods, totally, unless they say “Organic” (even then, there is a serious problem, but it is considerably better than other foods)?
Have you stopped buying anything but organic foods in all forms an, if there is an economic problem, made other compensatory changes (fewer chips, sodas, bottled water – fill a glass bottle with your own and take it with you)?
If not, inaction will cost us the battle. Either each and every one of us is either a warrior or we are not. Are you?
I know you are busy. That is exactly what the other side is counting on.
I know you feel powerless. That, too, is exactly what they are counting on.
I know you feel over whelmed. Guess what? They are counting on that, too.
We have the numbers IF we use them.
They have the dollars and they are absolutely using them.
So here is the battle plan:
Go here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4608 and read this then take action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
to stop the McCain and Harkin bills (S. 3002 and S. 501) that WILL repeal DSHEA and thus destroy our right to access supplements to bring us into HARMonization with Europe, where this has already happened and WILL totally industrialize the entire US food supply.
We’ve already generated 1.099,240 emails already but that’s just the beginning. Let’s make it 10 times that many. Remember to ask everyone to take the action once for each member of their household.
Next, go here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
, to ban ALL GMOs. We have only generated 39,883 emails on this Action Item. That means that the people on this list and their friends may care, but not enough to act strongly. This is actually quite surprising, since polls repeatedly show that well over 80% of Americans do not want GMO foods in their cupboards, their foods or their bodies. So it would seem reasonable that this list would be very close to 100% in its opposition to this type of adulterant in its food since freedom alone, and health aside, I cannot imagine anyone one who is a Natural Solutions Foundation supporter agreeing that secret, untested, dangerous and biosphere contaminating food should be forced upon to make us sick without our having any say in the matter. We agree. Act now.
Take these Actions and then disseminate these items asking everyone you know to take action and then disseminate it the same way.
If we are a nation of sheep and we do not know it, we are, I suppose, not to blame.
If we know what is happening and we act like sheep, then we are to blame.
Let’s take our collective awareness and spearhead the drive to own our own bodies and reclaim our freedom!
Yours in health and freedom,

Idiocy of the Decade: CDC announces ’57 Million People Have Swine Flu!’
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-sci-swine-flu13-2010feb13,0,5302753.story
This is the most astonishing, and laughable incidence of propaganda puffery gone wild that I can remember in ages. I sent this to a friend and here is what he wrote back to me. Be sure to read the quote at the end of his letter to understand his intent:
<< Rima, GET REAL! 1.67 Swine Flu cases per person in the US is very logical. You need to stop trying to think things through and do what you are told! Who do you think you are trying to second guess The Los Angeles Times? Why they are one of the most credible sources and you know it.
<< By questioning my known, reliable sources, you are taking away my comfort zone and I don’t appreciate it. Please stop it and start conforming, go with the flow and start doing what you are told for once, will you? Please!
<< It is people like you that will make it necessary to censor the web so we can go back to only having credible TV and newspaper media sources again.
<< Please stop it before I report you !!!!!!!
Your friend,

Obviously, my friend wrote a tongue in cheek missive to point out what the MMD, Media of Mass Deception, is trying to impose on us.
If the answer is, “None”, you need to reassess your priorities. If the answer is, “Some, but not enough”, you are on the way to making a better decision. If the answer is, “Here I am, ready to do more – I have already taken all the Action Steps for each member of my family and have sent out the Health Freedom Action eAlert to everyone I can reach, what can I do next?”, you are a Health Freedom Hero.
Thank you for your activism. This is everyone’s fight and that means that everyone needs to put their shoulder to the wheel. Of course, part of that shoulder-to-the-wheel-ism is helping make financial resources possible.
Managing Resources is a Serious Matter For Any Army
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
Why do we need resources? Well, there is the vitally important Stop the Shot litigation through which we intend to STOP all influenza AND H1N1 vaccine use since they are deeply illegal under the existing laws and regulations of the Untied States. If your donation end in the number “6”, the funds will be earmarked for our legal activities.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
Then there is Codex, the New Food Order, the destroyer of clean food, nutrition and nutrients. On may 3-7, 2010, Codex will hold its annual Codex Committee on Food Labeling, a vitally important meeting, in Canada.
If you want us there, now is the time to start making donations, because that is the ONLY way we are going to get there. You know that there are at least 3 Codex meetings this year that you want us to attend for you. Instead of a last minute emergency, let’s start accumulating the money to go to them – that way, we can plan on attending them, spend the necessary time doing the preparatory research, buy our tickets early to get better prices, make arrangements to meet national delegates for meetings, etc.
If you want daily video reports on what Codex is up to like this one,
The Natural Solutions Foundation is working for your health and your health freedom in the most creative, diverse and effective ways, which is why it is the largest health freedom organization in the world.
But, not surprisingly, it needs resources to run: human resources, energetic resources and financial resources. We are the Health Freedom team, you and the Natural Solutions Foundation. And we ARE playing a good game of defense. The more resources we have, the better our game of offense gets!

More Ways To Serve You: Natural Solutions Foundation Launches New Website
“Dr. Rima Recommends” has become such a popular part of our Health Freedom Action eAlert that we decided to give you more of my recommendations and more in-depth information. The site is already up, and it will be growing rapidly to make more of my recommendations, based on 40 years of medical and psychiatric practice without drugs.
You know, from a wellness industry point of view, we live in a fascinating time: the illness care industry wants to kill our wellness care products, which includes healthy food, of course, because they are so effective. Being effective, they are the logical and most significant economic
competitors
Why do I say that drugs/vaccines nothing more than permanent marketing strategies? Simple: they weaken your immune system, do organ damage and make you sick so you have to take more meds and more vaccines and more and more and more. From my perspective as a drug free physician and psychiatrist, I can see absolutely no place, whatsoever, none!, for drugs in any part of medicine but emergency rooms and operation rooms. But think of the reaction of Big Pharma to that reality. Codex is part of it, the lap-dog, stunningly corrupt FDA and all the Direct to Consumer advertising they permit is part of it, the vicious attacks on good health care practitioners who do not use drugs are part of it. The Mc Cain and Harkin bills are part of it. GMO “food” is, too.
That IS all part of the marketing model.
And, remember, that the agricultural chemicals and GMOs that make you sick are made by drug companies. This is no accident.
So our strategy is really, really simple:
1. Get the truth out on the internet that Sen. Jay Rockefeller regrets our ever having gotten hold of and on radio and by every other means of which we can think
2. Formulate effective strategies and them implement them through effective tactics (that is where you come in!)
3. Garner the assets, including activists, domestic and international friends to what we are doing, finances and keep doing it better and better and better.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 over and over and over.

Remember, the EPA and FDA are, in a separate action, trying to take nano and colloidal silver off the market, just as the European Food Supplements Directive has succeeded in doing there as of January 1, 2010. Silver is an illegal substance in Europe.
Why? Because silver is the universal antibiotic and would destroy a vast pharmaceutical market if enough people knew about it. After investigation, I personally recommend the nano silver available at
www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions, Silver Biotics.
I would start laying in a supply now. Although the product carries an “expiration date”, there is no evidence of which I am aware to suggest that Silver Biotics has a significantly limited shelf life.

Vaccines are a magnificently financed, well-crafted fraud. They do not work. They are dangerous. There has NEVER been a single placebo-controlled, double blind standard to show whether vaccines do or do not protect against disease.
Kids vaccinated with seasonal influenza shots have three times the hospital admissions for all reasons. Asthma incidence and prevalence has gone up at the same rate as increases in pediatric vaccine schedule. Autism has followed the same curve. Infant mortality has, too, so that it is safer to be pregnant and give birth – for both mother and baby, in Bosnia than it is in the US where vaccines are ubiquitous.
People are getting wise and are becoming resistant to the lie that vaccines are safe or effective or, worse, both. They stayed away in droves from the H1N1 vaccine and, guess what? They did not die. Since the lab tests for H1N1 virus are wrong 90% of the time, and since nobody is doing those lab tests anymore, it is not clear that a single person has ever died from that genetically engineered, highly profitable virus.
It is clear, however, that no antibody produced by the body in response to a vaccine have ever been shown to protect the vaccinated person against the disease.
Vaccine programs create outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics.
Read the article following to see how it works and note carefully that 75% of the victims of mumps had been vaccinated either once or twice, considered full immunization by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5851a6.htm?s_cid=mm5851a6_e.
And be sure to read my Open Letter to Forbes Magazine’s absurd advice to “Just Get Vaccinated“, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4568.
IF vaccines worked, perhaps the risk might be justified. When you clear away all the propaganda, though, the ultimate fact comes through: toxic and dangerous at all ages (seen the new ACIP schedule for adults yet? Click here: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5901-Immunization.pdf): the more vaccinations, the more toxic.
How many diseases are we willing to accept for a fraudulent procedure?
How many children are we willing to loose to it?
How many dollars are we willing to surrender to it when it simply turns us into life long ATMs for Big Pharma?
How many lies are we willing to look past because they are the social norm and truth challenges the astoundingly well-financed system of lies and deceit?
How many micrograms of aluminum, mercury (which literally changes not only our immune systems and brains, but our very DNA as well!), formaldehyde, leukemia viruses, antifreeze, infertility substances, fetal tissue, and other injected poisonous substances are we willing to offer ourselves and our children up for?
The Natural Solutions Foundation has initiated the Stop the Shot Federal Law Suit as our second round in legal assaults on this immoral poisoning of us all. Please support us in this health freedom battle for our very sustainability. If your tax deductible donation ends in the number “6”, your donation will automatically be earmarked for our legal fund.

Oh, by the way, just a few days ago the New York State Legislature abandoned a vote on legislation which would have given the state permission to prevent or treat, including the use of vaccines, any sexually transmitted disease or anything related to one (which could be twisted into anything at all) WITHOUT PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE OR APPROVAL.
The uproar was so deafening that, once again, Push Back became Take Down and the vote was canceled. God job, New York State. You were an inspiration to the rest of us.
Oh, yes, one more thing: herd immunity is absurd. IF vaccines worked, they would provide individual immunity, and the herd would be totally irrelevant. More tobacco science. But, hey, what can you expect? It’s Big Pharma, the Mother of Lies!

Vaccine Not Fail-Safe in Ongoing Mumps Outbreak
CDC says more than 1,500 cases have been reported in New York, New Jersey
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Feb. 11 (HealthDay News) — In a recent mumps outbreak occurring in the eastern United States, even some of those who were vaccinated against the infectious illness got sick, health officials report.
A study released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracked an ongoing outbreak of mumps, largely confined to an orthodox Hasidic Jewish group. The outbreak started among boys attending a religious summer camp in New York State and continued when the youngsters returned to their homes in New York and New Jersey. Currently some 1,521 cases have been reported, with more individuals coming down with the disease.
The mumps virus can cause swelling and pain in the salivary glands, giving people so-called “chipmunk cheeks,” as well as fever, headache, sore throat and pain when swallowing. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting and tired, achy muscles.
Symptoms can last for up to 10 days, and the disease can be spread one to two days before symptoms start and for up to nine days after symptoms appear. It can take up to 25 days after exposure to mumps before symptoms appear.
Mumps is a self-limiting disease with no specific treatment. It is best treated with bed rest and over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen to reduce fever, according to the CDC.
“The outbreak has been ongoing since the end of June,” said study co-author and CDC epidemiologist Kathleen Gallagher. “Ninety-seven percent of cases are among this Jewish community.”
The outbreak has probably been confined to this group because they have less contact with the wider community, Gallagher noted.
She said the outbreak started in a summer boy’s camp. “The original [patient] case had traveled to Great Britain, where they are having, and have been having, an ongoing outbreak of mumps for a while now,” she said.
The report is published in the Feb. 12 edition of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Although the outbreak started among boys and remains mostly among them, the disease has spread to some adults and girls, Gallagher said. The concentration of the outbreak among boys is largely due to the separation of these boys and girls in school and other social and religious activities.
Most of the people who have become sick had received the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine (MMR), according to the report. In fact, 88 percent had received at least one dose of the vaccine and 75 percent had received two doses.
However, the vaccine is not 100 percent effective, the CDC team noted. Studies have found one dose 73 percent to 91 percent effective, while the effectiveness of two doses ranged from 79 percent to 95 percent, according to the report.
“That means if you were to expose 100 people to mumps, 10 of them might still come down with the disease,” Gallagher said. In this outbreak, these percentages are holding, she added.
Although the vaccine doesn’t protect everyone, it does work for most people and effectively prevents outbreaks from becoming worse. “We think that if we didn’t have such high levels of MMR coverage, we would have even more spread,” Gallagher said.
Outbreaks of mumps are not all that unusual, Gallagher said.
“We have had outbreaks of mumps in communities that have had two doses before,” she said. In 2006, there was a large outbreak of mumps among college students in the Midwest, she noted.
And mumps remains prevalent in other areas of the world.
“While we are well-vaccinated against mumps in the United States, many countries throughout the world don’t vaccinate at all against mumps,” she said. “There is a lot of mumps circulating globally. This means that anytime there is a potential for importation like happened with this summer camp, there is potential for mumps to be introduced even into a highly vaccinated population.”

Food additives are regulated by the FDA and USDA. These two organizations have the power to make sure you food is clean, wholesome, accurately labeled and free of both filth and contaminants. But, tragically for freedom, food and your health, they do not.
Instead, they bow to industry pressure to lower standards, hide contaminants and toxins, thus increasing the dangers of foods to consumers, the unimaginable horrors of food production at every step along the way, agricultural labor, factory food operations, slaughter, harvest, processing, and, finally, the horror of what that food does to you and your loved ones: the preventable, needless and tragic diseases that cost us our lives, our health and, ultimately, our freedom to make other choices.
Even organic standards are degraded both by the USDA and Codex (which are, in many ways, one and the same) to the point where they are becoming meaningless, with virtually unlimited GMO contamination permitted in the US, more chemicals permitted in the production of organic vegetables, fruits and animal products and a softening of procedural safeguards and product restrictions in those standards – all unlabeled, of course!
And deeply embedded in this slavish subjugation of real regulation and protection, corruption and callous disregard of our health and that of our planet, is Codex Alimentarius, http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/index_en.jsp, the United Nations Commission which sets up standards and guidelines covering every single bite or drink of food, every nutrient, every swallow of everything that can legally go in your mouth except drugs.
And who runs Codex? Basically, the US, in cahoots with the EU, decides what they want and then bulls it through the process to ratification by the annual Codex Alimentarius Commission.
The Natural Solutions Foundation attends some of the huge numbers of Codex meetings each year (there is one just about every week somewhere in the world) and what we see is that the US is serving its lethal constituency, the Bigs: Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Biotech, Bic Chema and Big Medica. Of course, we undersand that the same companies which make the agricultural chemicals and additives are also the drug companies. They are also the industrialized agriculture companies.
Just as Big Pharma is working very hard to drive natural medicine out of existence since that is its primary competitor, so it and its sister industries, its sister Bigs, are working just as hard to take over all food production all over the world. After all, healthy people mean sickly profits for an industry that makes money only when you are sick, healthy profits mean sick people. And healthy food means slickly profits for the chemical, irradiation and GMO companies, all tightly tied to Big Pharma.
‘Whoever controls food controls the world’, Henry Kissinger told President Nixon in 1974 when he authored his then-secret National Security Memorandum 200. That same document stated what the World Health Organization would state at around the same time: that it was ‘necessary’ to hold depopulation as the primary goal of US foreign policy, “starting with the third world”. That is the reason that WHO gives for creating, and continuing to deploy
And that is precisely what Codex is: an extension of the US foregin policy of depopulation, with a huge dollop of greed and immoral deception thrown in for good measure. It is, in fact, nothing short of a globalist conspiracy, at the top levels, using food to contaminate our food supply and eliminate the “useless eaters” of the world, those who are consuming the non-renewable resources which the elite believe they own by some sort of diving right of Illuminati kings. If you want more information on this aspect of Codex, and I recommend that you do, please spend 40 minutes or so watching “Nutricide“, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634# . I do not think you will look at Codex again, or the US involvement with it, the same way again.
Ah, you say, not in the US. Our food is clean and industries are held accountable for what they put in our food, do to our food, allow to happen to our food. That depopulation stuff is just for the third world, isn’t it?
Dream on. The very industries which FDA, EPA and USDA were created to curb, control and corral have become the owners, though intense corruption and vastly deep pockets, the dictators of the limp regulations which do not curb them, control them, nor protect anything but their interests, public be sickened and be dammed. Our food supply is horrifyingly degraded, minus accurate labeling.
How degraded? Take a look at the article following this article and realize that you are looking at Codex on the hoof, that, with a few minor differences, the contamination and adulteration described here, making you sick with illnesses of supposedly unknown origins like cancer, heart disease, MS, MD, arthritis, diabetes, auto immune disease, chemical sensitivity, birth defects, autism, infertility, psychiatric illnesses and on and on and on are also Codex on the hoof.
Wrap you mind around the reality that clean food is not easy for mega industries to produce, so it is not profitable. What is not profitable is not produced and, if someone else, for example, small farmers, produce it, they will be driven out of business.
With the help of the US Congress. The House of Representatives has passed legislation which, if passed by the Senate, will criminalize the production and sale of clean healthy foods. Senator Harkin’s bogus Food “Safety” Bill, S. 510, will give the entire food supply to Big Agribiz with no checks, balances or redress AND give vast amounts of power to the FDA, which Rep. Dr. Ron Paul says is already abusing its power to our detriment. We agree with Dr. Paul. Giving more power to what is arguably the most corrupt organization in the developed world is not a reasonable action.
Worse yet, our contaminated food requires an increased supply of nutrients but Senator John McCain has introduced another bogus Food “Safety” bill, S. 3002, which will destroy the legal basis for your access to the nutrients that over 90% of the US Population chooses to use to maintain or regain health.
The Natural Solutions Foundation knows that these bills are intended to destroy access to clean, unadulterated food, a prime requisite for health and freedom. We know that the high likelihood is that these two dangerous and anti-health, anti-freedom bills will be merged into a single omnibus piece of death-dealing legislation which will literally criminalize the production, sale or consumption of clean food and nutrients.
Please take a moment to take this Action Item once for each member of your family and then send it on to everyone you can reach asking them to do the same: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714. You can read more here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4608
Please note that the contamination, irradiation, adulteration, chemicals permitted (including sprays of fluoride produced by Dow Chemical Company at 3300 ppm on your food to prevent it from getting moldy, for example), are just as much a problem as the meet additives listed below.
From where I sit, every single decision made by Codex, which really means made by the US Government on behalf of the multinational corporations, is a decision to degrade your health, curtail your freedom, mandate under nutrition and then use your suffering to ruthlessly control you and yours by eliminating all options for health choice and natural health options. Unless and until we take control of our health, our freedom and our food, things will just get worse.
This is a war that we cannot afford to lose.

Food is List of Additives Allowed in Meat & Poultry (Yum!)
Want to know what’s in your meat and/or poultry? The government’s got a new 40-page PDF document, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/oppde/rdad/FSISDirectives/7120.1Rev1.pdf, with a complete list of allowed additives. And, to help you decipher the list, they also provide a Glossary of Commonly Used Meat and Poultry Additives and Terms, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Additives_in_Meat_&_Poultry_Products/index.asp.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find in meat & poultry. By the way, many of these chemicals do not need to be labeled on the products you purchase. Honestly, some of these things might be harmless. Even water can sound like a dangerous chemical if you refer to it as dihydrogen oxide. But the sheer length of this list as well as the fact that consumers are in the dark about most of them makes me very glad that I’m a vegetarian and that what little meat I’ve eaten in the past several years came directly from farmers I know.
Acidifiers: Ammonium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of acidic calcium sulfate, an aqueous solution of hydrochloric and acetic acid, an aqueous solution of citric and hydrochloric acid, an aqueous solution of citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid, an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid, sodium bisulfate, and sulfuric acid.
Anticoagulants: Sodium tripolyphosphate
Antimicrobials: An aqueous solution of sodium diacetate (4%), lactic acid, (4%), pectin (2%), and acetic acid (0.5%); an aqueous solution of sodium octanoate or octanoic acid and either glycerin and/or propylene glycol and/or a Polysorbate surface active agent (quantity sufficient to achieve the technical effect of octanoic acid emulsification) adjusted to a final solution pH of 1.5 to 4.0 using sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or an acceptable GRAS [generally regarded as safe] acid;… (the list goes on for many pages and includes such gems as anhydrous ammonia and chlorine gas)
Antioxidants: BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
Binders: A mix of sodium alginate, calcium sulfate, glucono deltalactone, and sodium pyrophosphate; a mixture of carrageenan, whey, protein concentrate, and xantham gum; beef collagen; binders listed in 9 CFR 424.21(c) for use in cured pork products and poultry products; carboxymethyl cellulose (cellulose gum); carrot fiber; cellulose, powdered conforming to the specifications in the Food Chemicals Codex 5th Edition; guar powder, micronized; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; inulin; konjac flour; methylcellulose; oat hull fiber; oat fiber; orange pulp, dried; orange pulp, dried and orange pulp, dried with guar gum; partially hydrolyzed proteins; pectin; pork collagen; pork skin proteins; rice bran; rice starch; sodium alginate; “(species) protein” (e.g., chicken protein); transgultaminase enzyme; trehalose, xantham gum (purified by recovery with ethyl alcohol)
Colorings: Carmine (cochineal)
Curing Accelerators (must be used only in combination with curing agents): Potassium erythorbate
Denuding agents (may be used in combination. Must be removed from tripe by rinsing with potable water.): Calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium citrate, potassium hydroxide, tricalcium phosphate, tropotassium phosphate
That’s just the first 24 pages or so. The list goes on with film forming agents, flavoring agents, “Miscellaneous,” packaging systems, poultry scald agents, and tenderizing agents. Yum!
