about becoming an Expense Paid Volunteer at the Valley of the Moon™ in the temperate Highlands of Panama? We need people with a wide diversity of skills. Here’s the letter we are sending to our special sponsors – YOU!
Sponsoring Liberty Volunteers
We are truly “The Voice of Global Health Freedom.”™ There are now just under a quarter of a million people who have opted into the Health Freedom Action eAlert system to receive our Alerts asking you to take specific actions to protect health and freedom. And, by the hundreds of thousands you do!
This powerful “push back” effort has results; powerful results. For example, this past week, officials from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) took to the mass media to assure people that the coming “swine flu” vaccine will be “completely voluntary.” While we do not believe this uninsurable, unproven drug will be truly voluntary, prior to your more-than-a-million messages to decision makers demanding respect for your rights, these same people were openly planning for mass, involuntary inoculations. “Push back” works! More of your accomplishments for Health Freedom can be found at: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=195
Well, all this activity generates a large amount of Internet email traffic… so much so that none of the Foundation volunteers can keep up with it. We’re not complaining, mind you, since we measure our success by your contacts and your activism. What we need is more help to keep on helping you keep health freedom free.
Dr. Laibow, especially, needs help to free her time so she can continue her highly productive research, write, appear on the media, etc. As she says, “The Natural Solutions Foundation needs help to keep up with our successes – and continue generating more!”
At the same time as the Foundation is leading the fight to educate our representatives, the Foundation is also sponsoring Eco Demonstration projects in several countries, with the Valley of the Moon™ in the Highlands of Panama our main “discover, develop, demonstrate and disseminate Natural Solutions” location. This puts further demands on Dr. Laibow and Gen. Stubblebine’s time. But demonstrating Natural Solutions is an important part of preserving our health and freedom. Just as we said when we decided we had to do it, reclaiming the production food for farmers and non-farmers alike is a vital part of health freedom, as the battle over the food safety [sic!] bills like H.R. 2749 has verified
Faced with a problem, we’re very good at finding the solution. We have, as it turns out, a solution – a natural solution! – to this one, too. There is a growing group of enthusiastic individuals who want to volunteer to help us full time at the Valley of the Moon. All they need is room and board and they can do all the many things needed to mobilize this growing movement for Health Freedom.
These people are not just helping out in Panama: they are willing to become the bedrock and backbone of our health freedom movement by doing the tasks that are needed to fight the health freedom battle in the US and globally since the problem, like the anticipated governance structure of the globalists, has been turned into a one-world-problem!
We’ve learned over the past couple of weeks about the power of volunteer help. Not only are a couple volunteers catching up on the tens of thousands of emails that have come in, but others are hard at work building decent housing for the indigenous families who pick our Valley of the Moon All Natural Coffee.
See: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3236
It’s simple; it costs us $500 per month per volunteer to have “free volunteer” labor… We urgently need (and have “waiting in the wings”) ten volunteers ready to move to the Valley of the Moon and start working on Foundation affairs, helping Dr. Laibow and General Stubblebine set up the Seminar and Wellness Center as scheduled in September, answering emails, organizing and building the performance center, etc. Researching the situation in Washington and elsewhere; keeping these email messages coming to you…
Naturally, we need your help to make this happen. We need a group of Angels who will commit to Sponsoring a Liberty Volunteer. Even a regular monthly tax deductible donation of $100 will go a long way toward supporting a member of the Valley of the Moon Volunteer Corps for Dr. Laibow. Donate $500, earmarked for one volunteer and we’ll be honored to honor you as a Liberty Volunteer Sponsor.
We invite those of you who can arrange your schedule and time to visit the Valley of the Moon, the refuge we are creating to protect and preserve Natural Solutions in dangerous times. Come to visit; come to volunteer.
New Natural Solutions Volunteer & Interns Forum:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSF-volunteers/join/
We invite those of you who can do so to become a Liberty Volunteer Sponsor. Foundation and Family Trustes, Churches and similar nongovernmental organizations can also sponsor our Volunteers.
As a Sponsor you will be invited to attend important Health Freedom phone conference calls and participate in the Natural Solutions Volunteer Corp online Forum where we will continue to plan and implement a strong Health and Freedom Campaign.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people who receive these Health Freedom Action eAlert messages – and forward them on to tens of millions more, we know there are a group of you who can support a Liberty Volunteer.
If you can sponsor a full or partial Volunteer (or want to Volunteer) please contact us at dr.laibow@gmail.com with “Liberty Volunteer” in the subject line. We’ll link Sponsors and Volunteers into a community of interest, through a special online Forum, to further mobilize support for Natural Solutions… and then, there is nothing we cannot accomplish!
Yours in health and freedom,

A Message from Dr. Rima at the Valley of the Moon™
[Note from Ralph: let’s not forget that Natural Solutions involve more than educating decision makers about our health and freedom, as important as that is. Dr. Laibow and Gen. Stubblebine certainly haven’t forgotten, which is why they are in Panama coordinating the development of the Foundation’s Eco Demonstration project there, when they are not traveling to Codex meetings and other international appearances. So while we are all focusing on our Three Weeks to Save Food and Freedom Campaign — see: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209 I thought I’d forward this letter that Dr. Rima posted on the project forum. My explanatory notes are in brackets.]
Whew! What a whirlwind!
Yesterday evening Magnus [from Norway] and Gail arrived at Valley of the Moon – Gail had gone to Panama City for other business but, as it happened, Magnus’ arrival was perfectly timed. They over-nighted in Panama and traveled to the Highlands where Dave and Barb [two other VotM volunteers] were ready to greet them along with, of course, Bert and me.
Then a lovely dinner with nothing but the caramelized onions from Gail [Gail is an awesome cook who has produced the most amazing organic meals for VotM guests; she also coordinates the Natural Solutions Marketplace]. The Teriaki Salmon and the salad were our contribution. Oh, yes, the home-pickled beets were Gail’s too. During the meal, we found ourselves with a computer companion: it was 10 PM Eastern, time for the Volunteer call. This call was attended by Ralph, via phone and the rest of us around the table! After catching up, we finished dinner with an enormous amount of fun and laughter, and then cleaned up as a group, rather than leaving it all to one or two people. Very nice experience, great group. This is how community happens.
Today Dave got up very early, went to the town of David to get the Portapotty, which filled up most of the back of the pick up truck, the wheelbarrows and some other necessaries like the generator that our good friend here in town lent to us.
Yesterday the cement mixer got towed up up a very unlikely road for a cement mixer (a ‘1 bag job’ they tell me, which requires filling and using, emptying and refilling 150 times, give or take) and did not tip over although Dave tells me that was no easy feat. Thank goodness for the combined experience of these people!
We have provided them with organic food and, when we are in Panama City tomorrow, will provision them with more.
Today, after a breakfast of hen’s eggs from our own hens (we got 6 today, a world’s record for our hens in one day) we tried to get off to the Coffee Finca to avoid the rain and the fall of darkness. Off they went, in the truck, bathroom behind them looking for all the world like an overgrown blue plastic ticket booth, but no one sells tickets to the activities from here!
Dave and Barb will come back here to pack up their clothes and then the adventure begins: camping out on the finca; photos to follow! We’ll also be video recording the work, for our Food Freedom eJournal — http://www.foodfreedomejournal.org.
We are getting ready to open the Natural Solutions Seminar and Wellness Center and that means another volunteer opportunity in late September. If that calls to you, please contact us! dr.laibow@gmail.com (please put “VotM Volunteer” in the subject line).
It is a wonderful thing to see this group come together.
Oh, I nearly forgot: yesterday Dave and Barb were at the finca and said that the trenches for the foundations and footings had nearly been dug. The [indigenous Noble-Bugle] children, he said, were thrilled to have new homes and the adults, usually even more reticent than the very reticent children, simply shone with pleasure and enthusiasm about their new community “long house” home. That was a wonderful thing to hear recounted, see the glowing eyes of Dave and Barb and know that more lies in store for these people.
It touched our hearts.
Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima
[A note of explanation: When the Foundation purchased the Valley of the Moon All Natural Coffee Finca (with funds donated specifically for that purpose) there were no sanitary facilities and only a primitive hut for the coffee harvesters. Last season we installed latrines and running water. This season our Volunteer Interns are building a community long house, respectful of the Noble-Bugle traditions, for the harvesters to use when they are on the land.

Report from Codex: Pig in a Poke, and Poking the Pig
June 30, 2009
32nd Codex Alimentarius Commission
Rome, Italy
Report #2: We’re Here for Your Health Freedom so They Attack Us
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3015
Codex Report #3: Bureaucrats and Lobbyists Feast in Rome
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3023
Codex Video: Rome… Codex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyo_VjJSVFo
We’re here in Rome at the Codex Alimentarius Commission annual session. This report covers the first day of the meeting.
Ractopamine is a beta agonist, a drug which causes profound changes in the animal which consumes it, or the human which consumes the animal which consumes Ractopamine. As a physician (trained in nutritional medicine and environmental medicine as well) I am, of course, deeply concerned with the nutritional value of food and its toxic components. I know that toxic compounds (including drugs like Ractopamine) may be more toxic AFTER the liver has had a go at them than before. These compounds, called “metabolytes” have a toxic profile all thier own and, in the case of Ractopamine, have not been studied after their passage through animal livers, into their tissues and then into us when we consume their tissues [meat]. That is apparently of not much concern to Codex, despite the fact that their first mandate, posted on their website, www.CodexAlimentarius.net, is the protection of the health of consumers.
For the first time in history, Codex Alimentarius, the “World Food Code” is on the verge of approving a drug, and a dangerous one at that, which has no other function in pigs or cattle than to cause them to swell and get fat. Swollen, they come to market weight sooner, reducing the cost of raising them by fewer days of feed and housing costs.
JECFA, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, says that Ractopamine is perfectly fine to give to pigs and other animals and, hence, to people. Of course, the break down products of this pharmaceutical poison (and ALL drugs poison enzyme systems so it is, quite literally, one poison among many) either in pig tissue or in people eating that tissue (AKA “meat”) have yet to be studied.
China is the world’s largest consumer of pig meat. Not surprisingly, it is also the world’s largest producer of pig meat. At last year’s 31st Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) in Geneva, we reported that China was very upset by the pending approval of Ractopamine and said so, quite unusually for the Chinese, in no uncertain terms (after all, this time, it was their ox, er, pig, which was being gored). They were, quite literally, smacked down by the Chairman, Dr. Claude Moshe, who said that if they had concerns, they had failed to present them at the relevant committee meeting so their voice was now of no consequence on the matter.
The Chinese Delegate, in what sounded to me like fiery fury (astounding at Codex, and doubly so from the Chinese) responded, out of turn, if I recall, that the Chinese Delegation to the meeting on the topic in the US had been denied its necessary visas by the host country, which just happened to be the US, which just happens to be the second largest pig meat producer in the world and which just happens to permit Ractopamine. And, if I forgot to mention it, the US just happens to be the home of Monsanto, which just happens to be the owner of the world-wide patent on the [Ractopamine-doused] pig and every other modified pig in the world.
The anger of the Chinese Delegate apparently spurred Brazil, ordinarily one of the US’s most docile toxic ducklings, to make the point that the legitimacy of Codex was highly questionable because of this sort of disregard for both science and sense while Iran made the point that small countries have an enormous difficulty participating in the many, complex and intertwining meetings which lead to decisions in which they are disenfranchised and which thus lack legitimacy.
China, not a small country, of course, is also selectively disenfranchised… when it suits the Powers That Believe, they are the Powers That Be. While we would not presume to compare the Natural Solutions Foundation to the mighty empire of China, none the less, we, too, are selectively isolated by Codex. Click below to read the email which we just sent to the Codex Chair and Commission about the fact that we, alone of all observers, have been relegated to an un-airconditioned, uncomfortable 4th floor gallery for “lack of room” for Public Observers.
Open Letter to Codex Chairwoman: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3005
Here is the Gallery in which we are confined –
And here is the seating area in the main hall in which there is “no room” for the Natural Solutions Foundation.
Back to the pigs.
The new CAC Chairwoman, Dr. Karen Hulebeck, works for the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) of the USDA. FSIS is the home of the US Codex Contact Point. Like the US President, CAC Chairs are selected, then elected. Dr. Hulebeck is smart, forceful, savvy and nobody’s fool. She is completely in control of the Codex meeting, or believes that she is.
Yesterday, in the opening sessions of this year’s CAC, she welcomed the delegates and observers (apparently, not the only Public Observers, us, who had come to the meeting, though, since we were relegated to our hot and guarded gallery and were not given invitations to the OPEN reception held after the meeting yesterday… but not to worry, delegates are seeking us out) and introduced the welcoming remarks of the newest member of Codex, Djibuti – whose Trade Minister noted that the reason that he was there was that Codex dealt with trade – the Codex Secretariat and WHO and FAO folks.
I was delighted to note that the Natural Solutions Foundation was mentioned in the welcoming speech given by the Codex Secretariat, the organization which runs the technical and procedural details of the Codex meetings. On previous occasions we have been specifically mentioned from the Podium (sometimes in a clear breech of protocol, but that happens when your impact is unexpected and difficult to deal with) by the Chair (CAC, Geneva, 2006) and, given the “guarded” response that we get when we arrive, we are by no means unknown.
This time, however, we were not mentioned by name. Here is the direct quote from that ‘welcoming’ speech. See if you agree with me that we are the subject of this quote:
“… In addition, Codex is being challenged in the public domain in a court of public opinion that did not exist when it was founded in 1963. Science and prevention are hard sells. In today’s multimedia world, with YouTube and online blogs, Codex has new challenges from self-serving interest groups [yes- that would be us healthy eaters! – REL] that have tapped the online public to their advantage, taking the challenge of Codex well beyond the scientific debate. In answer to this, Codex has produced a series of public awareness and communication products in order to make sure that the real picture of the crucial role of Codex – what it is and what it does – reaches the public. Codex videos are now online and the new Codex website will further increase the transparency of the Codex process….” CAC/32INF/11
The Natural Solutions Foundation is Health Freedom’s New Media; we are Global Health Freedom. It would appear that we have pushed Codex into the world of new media, as well.
Back to the pigs: After numerous countries, starting with China, stated their strong dissent to the use of Ractopamine, stated their concerns and challenged both the science and the procedure by which the use of Ractopamine had come to be on the agenda today for world-wide approval.
Country after country raised grave concerns, the Chairwoman appeared frantic to get the Ractopamine standard approved but was facing major opposition.
I am writing this to you in real time. The Chairwoman is doing her level best to make sure that the comments against Ractopamine are both brief and limited. The Chair finally acknowledged the fact that consensus has not been reached. None the less, she wants to “hold Ractopamine at Step 8, the approval step. Once something reaches Step 8, it has been approved. There is actually no definition of what “Holding something at Step 8” so in this highly rule-bound environment, where everything is detailed and spelled out in obsessive detail, the Chairwoman, who has already acknowledged that she works for the USDA, which never met a drug for animals it did not like (just like the FDA), but that, whatever it means, is what she wants to do with a substance which has no reason to be fed to animals except for profit.
But, she says, that is not enough. Since there is no real meaning to holding something at Step 8, she suggests new work be taken on to “advise guidance” to tell the Commission what it means to “hold at Step 8″ to the Committee on General Principles” including a “full and complete discussion of all the issues which are blocking consensus”, that a time line be developed for working through those issues and that a deadline be established. Chairwoman Hulebek says, “I have a further suggestion: that the work be undertaken without prejudice to those items which are still under development which means that during the time that the guidance is developed, the issues of any one of those draft standards can be worked through so that it seems to knowledgeable parties that consensus can be developed, that the issues can be brought to this body at any time. I suggest that the development be done very carefully but very rapidly.” and then she asks: “Can I have the sense of this Commission on this proposal?”
I sat here shaking my head, as did General Bert. We looked at each other, shaking our heads and asking “Huh? What did she say?” Canada, perfectly happy, like the US, to dose animals with needless toxic chemicals to get them to market weight faster, regardless of toxicity, noted that any expressions of concern were about the science and that all of those expressions of concern were about pig meat (since China spoke about their research showing toxicity in pigs fed the drug), “so we recommend that the MRLs [Maximum Residue Levels) be adopted with regard to cattle since no mention was made of those levels.” Not exactly Canadian bacon! Instead, eat your beef with Ractopamine and don’t ask any questions. Good for you? Not at all. Good for the company that makes it? Sure! Good for the factory “farms”? Sure. OK with Codex? Well, as far as the official line goes, holding up the water works by refusing to accept this poison is bad form since it does not lead to “consensus”!
The Chairwoman responded, as if approving Ractopamine for cattle was fine, “For pig meat, we would propose that the CAC consider an expert consultation with respect to establishment of an MRL and that come back to the CAC next year for a decision. In framing the question to be put to the expert consultation, you might wish to consider the framing of a “Group of Interest” to articulate the question.”
Long story short?
CAC wants to use this chemical. Even China, a country staggering under astounding pollution and contamination burdens in its environment and its food, cannot tolerate the use of this drug which has, as Norway pointed out last year, no use except to fatten animals through metabolic poisoning with a toxic substance. Remember that Risperadol, an “atypical anti-psychotic” drug, and others of its class, lead to weight gain in humans. That weight gain is the result of a dangerous toxicity. It seems to me that making an animal sick to make it fat to make it profitable is a disgusting use of NOT better living through chemistry.
And what does the Observer Organization which denies us a seat at the table (as ordered to do so by the Codex Commission in 2006) have to say about this issue? Good question.
NOTHING, nothing at all.
Let’s talk about that “Voice of Health Freedom” as it recently styled itself on a major radio show, the one “health freedom organization” which has a seat at Codex as an Official Observer organization. On this radio show they called themselves “the Voice of Health Freedom”. Well, apparently the voice had sever laryngitis!
The ONLY Observer Organization which spoke in this debate was the International Food Additives Association. Guess upon which side they spoke?
Where was the “Voice of Health Freedom” when the health of billions, literally billions, of pork consumers and everyone drinking the water downstream of those pigs was under attack? What about the health of the people who will be eating the plants watered with water contaminated by the excrement of those pigs? Nowhere. Nada. Not a peep. Just the Sound of Silence, and nothing more.
Are they here? Hard to tell. The Codex Commission keeps us relegated to an upper gallery where we cannot see the delegates well. We are under guard so getting to talk to National Delegates is extremely difficult (although we have managed to do so, but with significant difficulty). Is the Voice of Health Freedom asleep? Couldn’t say. Are they “controlled opposition”? Who knows. What is for sure is that they are not speaking out for your well-being!
The fact remains that the Natural Solutions Foundation is here, but not permitted to speak, although Codex itself has directed this other organization to give us a seat at the table, and a seat at the microphone. They have not done so. Whether they are lap dogs or lazy watchdogs, they are not providing the voice that health freedom needs and are blocking us from doing so. And you know that we will speak clearly on your behalf, once we have the microphone.
Right now, the CAC is acting with outrage at the idea that their powerful dedication to the use of this chemical is being derailed.
EU says that despite what Codex does, it will continue to forbid the use of Ractopamine as it will do with MGA, debated yesterday and approved “by consensus” despite similar fervent opposition. Thus the real players know that our Codex Two Step is a viable alternative to countries submitting to Codex dictates
By the way, this “Ractopamine Mutiny” shows that Codex can be stimulated, with appropriate science and personal contact with decision-makers around the world, either to finally become a health freedom organization or be dissolved.
The multi-nationals are hard at work degrading the world’s food.
But the world’s buyers and eaters of food, you and I, who are anything BUT useless, can have their desired impact: clean, healthy foods supporting the needs, and lives, of the world’s peoples.
Right now, the worst of the worst industrialization and degradation of food is underway through the food laws which are supposed to “HARMonize” our laws with Codex standards.
Those bills MUST be defeated. Click below to take this critically important action step to protect your food and your freedom.

And, on a slightly different note, the same WHO that is a parent organization of Codex has other ways to take you out, food only being one. Another one is to create a phony pandemic and then take you out with a weaponized vaccine while international organizations take over the country. Sound OK to you? Good. In that case, please do nothing. DO NOT click below to demand your right to self-shield in the event of a US Pandemic Emergency State.

Health Freedom Uses the New Media:
Natural Solutions Webinars
INDEX
Introduction
Current Webinars
————————————-
We — you and us together — are the ‘net roots’ of Health Freedom, providing Natural Solutions to the problems that threaten our health and health freedom. The better informed we are, the more effective we become.
Using the Internet to achieve our goals, we constantly look for ways to share information in the continuing educational campaign that forms a principle thrust of our Health Freedom campaign.
Through our web sites and social networking links, our Health Freedom Action eAlerts and the action items they contain. Through the forums we’ve established on Yahoo!Groups. Through our attendance at Codex and other meetings with the YouTube video reports we’ve posted shortly after each event. Through our Health Freedom Blogs. We use many advanced communications techniques to keep you, our ‘net roots’ in the loop and in front of the crowd.
Based on your feedback and our advisers’ input, we are proud to offer you a new, enhanced outreach program:

Off-shore placement of retirement funds may not be available for much longer. In fact, your retirement funds are being eyed by the cash-starved US government. At the same time, your health freedom and access to clean food and dietary supplements is under more attack than at any time in the past. Retirement funds can support the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSoltutionsFoundation.org, in Panama while the Valley of the Moon helps to protect your health freedoms and reclaim the production of food.
This is more than a win-win relationship. It is a must-win relationship for both you and health freedom. Join us to learn more and find out what others are doing to protect their health and their wealth. Tuition includes a $15 tax deductible Donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation and a free eBook you can share with others to help them get the picture, too.

FDA
“Fraud and Death Administration”
Taking Back Food from the Government
It’s really simple, you know. If enough people demand it, the government will behave itself. We saw that a couple years ago when 598,000 of us sought to tell the FDA to leave our natural remedies alone… and the infamous anti-CAM guidance remains in limbo to this day. It comes down to taking simple actions to make sure the agencies, Congress, the President and other decision makers get your message loud and clear. Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder.
That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:
1. Right to Use ~ Right to Choose
Use Nano Silver, Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver
Questionable “Consumer Organizations” Petition EPA to Ban Nano Silver – Deadline extended to March 20th.
Tell EPA Not to Ban Nano Silver of Any Type http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405
Defending Nano Silver
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1773
Good work! Your vigorous response to the approaching deadline caught the attention of the EPA. So many of your responded that the deadline was extended by 2 months. Now, Mighty Mouse Warriors, keep on clicking! And remember to tell your entire contact list that health freedom is under attack – again!
Ask them to take action here:

The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.)
Health Freedom is gaining new allies. Earlier this week Dr. Rima and I had some preliminary meetings with The City of Knowledge Foundation in Panama, seeking additional support for the International Decade of Nutrition’s Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project. In about 2 weeks we are being flown to Europe for a very special presentation that must remain quiet for now… We’ll be posting YouTube videos from that event, however, so check our YouTube channel often: http://youtube.com/naturalsolutions.
You see, Europe is already in the process of losing most of its supplements and all of its high potency ones. We in the US still enjoy access to them, but the FDA is gearing up to bring us into “HARMonziation” with the Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline just like Europe where the European Food Supplements Directive will make advanced health through high potency, varied nutritional supplements a criminal activity.
Natural treatments of all sorts are being seriously restricted there and the EU’s 27 countries met secretly not long ago to force GMO “franken foods” on a strongly unwilling population despite laws and objections. It’s a case of “follow the money – and you’ll find the genocidalists along with the bankers!” But Europe is waking up and Dr. Rima and I are making this trip to help that happen. We’ll keep you posted, of course.
After that, we’ll be filming some documentary footage and doing interviews and, I am happy to tell you, sneaking away for a few days of very, very much needed R&R. We’ll keep you posted on that, too.
One of the Principles of War is “Surprise”. You never want to be surprised and you always want the enemy to be surprised. That’s why it is so important for our side to disseminate high quality information. So if you did not have a chance to read my last communiqué on the current health freedom threat status, I urge you to do so now. Here’s the link to this very important message.

Divest the FDA!
While We’re At It, Divest the USDA, Too!
Action Step:
Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26314
It’s pretty ho-hum no-news that the FDA is failing miserably at every aspect of its mandate.
~Mercury in high fructose corn syrup (which is usually made from genetically modified “Franken Corn” ~MSG, a known neurological and pancreatic poison (of the excitotoxin class) in vaccines, kids food (and adults food, too) ~Melamine OK in baby’s formulas and the general food supply despite the fact that it can be lethal to babies and there was no safe level until the FDA unscientifically declared that there was ~Irradiated just-about-everything-including-salad-greens ~Antibiotics so widely used that antibiotic resistant (“flesh eating” staph shows up in pork and other foods, industrially genetically modified plants growing next to natural ones and contaminating them forever, ~Salmonella laced peanut butter ~Down graded organic foods to make Big Agribiz as happy as Big Pharma ~Conflicts of interest so blatant that the government no longer tries to deal wth them, ~Cattle producers forbidden to test their cattle for “mad cow” disease because they might find it, ~Sweeteners that can cause blindness, MS and brain damage, ~Acrylamide in snack foods, ~Dangerous unlabeled GMOs passed off as “equivalent” so consumers won’t ask, don’t know, ~Veterinary drugs and pesticides permitted in food despite known hazards, ~Viruses sprayed on foods, ~Cloned meat and milk, and on and on and on.
Thanks to the FDA, the “Fraud and Death Agency”, and the USDA, the “” agency, the US diet is not life sustaining: it is disease and death inducing. Our diet, thanks to these agencies, is literally killing us. Why? Because the regulators work for, and owe their allegiance – and their financial well-being, to the regulated industries.
Enough!
Congressional report after Congressional report, Hearing after Hearing makes it clear that the agencies charged with protecting our food can no more do that than the EPA can clean up and protect our environment. Again and again Congress affirms that the agencies have failed and then “solves” the problem by acting like the lunatic who, unsuccessful at a problem, does the same thing again, making the problem worse, not better.
Enough!
Congress take note: throwing money at the FDA and USDA and giving them more authority does not solve the problem. We have 80 years of proof that this strategy just makes things worse.
Enough!
Yes, the only answer is to take food regulatory authority away from these death dealing agencies and give it back to the States where popular pressure and control is far more meaningful. How to do that? By the same kind of pressure that made Congress do a 180º reversal of direction in 1994. Instead of voting to ban all nutrients (are you noticing a pattern here?) they responded to the millions of letters from Americans from all walks of life and passed legislation treating nutrients as foods which, as such, should not be regulated as if they were drugs. That legislation is called the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and public pressure in its favor is the ONLY reason that we have access to dietary supplements at all.
The lesson is clear. It is public pressure, like the 2×4 the apocryphal farmer used to get the mule’s attention, which drives enlightened public policy, NOT politicians and certainly not the lobbyists they routinely bow to.
The FDA does a poor enough job “regulating” dangerous and deadly drugs. There is no way an agency so pervasively corrupt and inept can change its ways and suddenly become the custodian of health and healthy foods when those very foods are the chief economic competitor of the drugs whose approval supplies the lion’s share of the operating budget of the FDA through “Users Fees”. The conflict of interest is so monumental that it fairly takes your breath away.
Enough!
Drugs are not the very core of life. Food is.
During 2009, the Natural Solutions Foundation will be creating and pursuing a campaign to take back our food from the inept and corrupt hands of the US Government (which also means getting the FDA and USDA out of Codex, by the way). We are going to be asking for your help in dissemination and for action steps.
Ready to get the government out of food and get food out of the government? Click here – http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26314 – to tell your Congressmen and women that the drug makers can have the FDA to play with, but we want the FDA and USDA out of the food regulation business.
And remember to click here – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189 – to make your tax deductible donation to this vitally important campaign. All us us who eat are in this together, you know. And we need your help to set the table to serve up the dish known as health freedom, with clean, unadulterated food as the main course!
By the Way, While you still can get it, get some great Nano silver here:
www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
Go to Products and then scroll down to Silver Solutions (bottom of left side menu).
Nano silver has a very long shelf life, years really, so you can safely lay in your supply NOW!
General Bert told you that we speakers at an important conference in Europe. Make no mistake: we never, but never, leave home without silver. We believe that it is one of the most important reasons that we virtually never get sick and if we do, get better very, very quickly.
Please share this information with your friends and contacts and ask them to help protect food and freedom, too. Let them know that they can get their very free subscription to the Health Freedom Action eAlerts at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187.

The multiple ways Monsanto is putting normal seeds out of reach
by Linn Cohen-Cole
People say if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, just don’t
buy their GMO seeds.
Not so simple. Where are farmers supposed to get normal seed these
days? How are they supposed to avoid contamination of their fields
from GM-crops? How are they supposed to stop Monsanto detectives from trespassing or Monsanto from using helicopters to fly over spying on them?
Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking
samples and if they find any GMO plants growing there (or say they
have), they then sue, saying they own the crop. It’s a way to make
money since farmers can’t fight back and court and they settle because they have no choice.
And they have done and are doing a bucket load of things to keep
farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying,
collecting, and saving of NORMAL seeds.
1. They’ve bought up the seed companies across the Midwest.
2. They’ve written Monsanto seed laws and gotten legislators to put
them through, that make cleaning, collecting and storing of seeds so
onerous in terms of fees and paperwork and testing and tracking every
variety and being subject to fines, that having normal seed becomes
almost impossible (an NAIS approach to wiping out normal seeds). Does your state have such a seed law? Before they existed, farmers just collected the seeds and put them in sacks in the shed and used them the next year, sharing whatever they wished with friends and
neighbors, selling some if they wanted. That’s been killed.
In Illinois which has such a seed law, Madigan, the Speaker of the
House, his staff is Monsanto lobbyists.
3. Monsanto is pushing anti-democracy laws (Vilsack’s brainchild,
actually) that remove community’ control over their own counties so
farmers and citizens can’t block the planting of GMO crops even if
they can contaminate other crops. So if you don’t want a GM-crop that grows industrial chemicals or drugs or a rice growing with human DNA in it, in your area and mixing with your crops, tough luck.
Check the map of just where the Monsanto/Vilsack laws are and see if
your state is still a democracy or is Monsanto’s. A farmer in Illinois
told me he heard that Bush had pushed through some regulation that
made this true in every state. People need to check on that.
4. For sure there are Monsanto regulations buried in the FDA right now
that make a farmer’s seed cleaning equipment illegal (another way to
leave nothing but GM-seeds) because it’s now considered a “source of
seed contamination.” Farmer can still seed clean but the equipment now has to be certified and a farmer said it would require a million to a
million and half dollar building and equipment … for EACH line of
seed. Seed storage facilities are also listed (another million?) and
harvesting and transport equipment. And manure. Something that can
contaminate seed. Notice that chemical fertilizers and pesticides are
not mentioned.
You could eat manure and be okay (a little grossed out but okay). Try
that with pesticides and fertilizers. Indian farmers have. Their top
choice for how to commit suicide to escape the debt they have been
left in is to drink Monsanto pesticides.
5. Monsanto is picking off seed cleaners across the Midwest. In Pilot
Grove, Missouri , in Indiana (Maurice Parr ), and now in southern
Illinois (Steve Hixon). And they are using US marshals and state
troopers and county police to show up in three cars to serve the poor
farmers who had used Hixon as their seed cleaner, telling them that he
or their neighbors turned them in, so across that 6 county areas, no
one talking to neighbors and people are living in fear and those
farming communities are falling apart from the suspicion Monsanto
sowed. Hixon’s office got broken into and he thinks someone put a
GPS tracking device on his equipment and that’s how Monsanto found
between 200-400 customers in very scattered and remote areas, and
threatened them all and destroyed his business within 2 days.
So, after demanding that seed cleaners somehow be able to tell one
seed from another (or be sued to kingdom come) or corrupting
legislatures to put in laws about labeling of seeds that are so
onerous no one can cope with them, what is Monsanto’s attitude about labeling their own stuff? You guessed it – they’re out there pushing laws against ANY labeling of their own GM-food and animals and of any exports to other countries. Why?
We know and they know why.
As Norman Braksick, the president of Asgrow Seed Co. (now owned by
Monsanto) predicted in the Kansas City Star (3/7/94) seven years ago, “If you put a label on a genetically engineered food, you might as
well put a skull and crossbones on it.”
And they’ve sued dairy farmers for telling the truth about their milk
being rBGH-free, though rBGH is associated with an increased risk of
breast, colon and prostate cancers.
I just heard that some seed dealers urge farmers to buy the seed under the seed dealer’s name, telling the farmers it helps the dealer get a discount on seed to buy a lot under their own name. Then Monsanto sues the poor farmer for buying their seed without a contract and extorts huge sums from them.
Here’s a youtube video that is worth your time. Vandana Shiva is one
of the leading anti-Monsanto people in the world. In this video, she
says (and this video is old), Monsanto had sued 1500 farmers whose
fields had simply been contaminated by GM-crops. Listen to all the
ways Monsanto goes after farmers.
Do you know the story of Gandhi in India and how the British had salt
laws that taxed salt? The British claimed it as theirs. Gandhi had
what was called a Salt Satyagraha, in which people were asked to break the laws and march to the sea and collect the salt without paying the British. A kind of Boston tea party, I guess.
Thousands of people marched 240 miles to the ocean where the British
were waiting. As people moved forward to collect the salt, the British
soldiers clubbed them but the people kept coming. The non-violent
protest exposed the British behavior which was so revolting to the
world that it helped end British control in India.
Vandana Shiva has started a Seed Satyagraha – nonviolent
non-cooperation around seed laws – has gotten millions of farmers to
sign a pledge to break those laws.
American farmers and cattlemen might appreciate what Gandhi fought for and what Shiva is bringing back and how much it is about what we are all so angry about – loss of basic freedoms.
The Seed Satyagraha is the name for the nonviolent, noncooperative
movement that Dr. Shiva has organized to stand against seed
monopolies. According to Dr. Shiva, the name was inspired by Gandhi’s
famous walk to the Dandi Beach, where he picked up salt and said,
“You can’t monopolize this which we need for life.” But it’s not just the
noncooperation aspect of the movement that is influenced by Gandhi.
The creative side saving seeds, trading seeds, farming without
corporate dependence-–without their chemicals, without their seed.
“All this is talked about in the language that Gandhi left us as a
legacy. We work with three key concepts.”
“(One) Swadeshi…which means the capacity to do your own
thing–produce your own food, produce your own goods….”
“(Two) Swaraj–to govern yourself. And we fight on three
fronts-–water, food, and seed. JalSwaraj is water independence–water freedom and water sovereignty. Anna Swaraj is food freedom, food sovereignty. And Bija Swaraj is seed freedom and seed sovereignty. Swa means self–that which rises from the self and is very, very much a deep notion of freedom.
“I believe that these concepts, which are deep, deep, deep in Indian
civilization, Gandhi resurrected them to fight for freedom. They are
very important for today’s world because so far what we’ve had is
centralized state rule, giving way now to centralized corporate
control, and we need a third alternate. That third alternate is, in
part, citizens being able to tell their state, ‘This is what your
function is. This is what your obligations are,’ and being able to
have their states act on corporations to say, ‘This is something you
cannot do.'”
“(Three) Satyagraha, non-cooperation, basically saying, ‘We will do
our thing and any law that tries to say that (our freedom) is illegal…
we will have to not cooperate with it. We will defend our freedoms to
have access to water, access to seed, access to food, access to
medicine.'”
