See article keywords and concepts |  The truth is that indonesia is trying to protect its own citizens by not surrendering the intellectual property of its virus samples to monopolistic U.S. and U.K. drug companies who have a well established history of stealing plants, herbs, genes and seeds from poor nations, then using western applications of intellectual property law to screw them over yet again. indonesia, in fact, is doing the only rational thing it can: Keep the samples a secret, and avoid allowing the WHO and greedy drug companies to get their hands on them. | | The world's richest nations are certainly not going to be sending their limited supply of vaccines to poor nations around the world, regardless of where the original influenza samples came from. indonesia has figured out the truth behind all this, which is simply that poor nations will get shafted no matter what by rich, white-dominated, corporate-controlled wealthy nations that will not hesitate to exploit the genetic resources of poorer nations like indonesia. |

Why Should I Drink Tea?
Tea is a good source of flavonoids called catechins, which are important antioxidants that can help prevent certain types of diseases. The major catechins, found mostly in green tea, include: epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), and epicat-echin (EC). EGCG is the most abundant and widely studied tea polyphenol, and EGCG and ECG have the highest radical-scavenging activity. | | India, China, indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Thailand currently are the main ginger producers. In the United States, ginger is grown mostly in California, Hawaii, and Florida.

Why Should I Drink Coffee?
Did you know . .. moderate intake (three six-ounce cups per day) of coffee provides the same amount of hydration as an equal amount of water? This is especially true for "seasoned" coffee drinkers.
Coffee doesn't contain significant amounts of vitamins or minerals, yet its antioxidant properties are off the charts. It is one of the top antioxidant beverages consumed worldwide. | | The principle producer of cloves is Zanzibar in East Africa. indonesia, Sumatra, Jamaica, West Indies, and Brazil are the world's other top producers.
Why Should I Eat Clove?
Cloves contain manganese, vitamins C and K, magnesium, calcium, and fiber. Cloves also contain eugenol, a substance helpful for relieving pain, killing bacteria, and reducing inflammation.

Apply this to the forehead for headaches or to any other painful area. | | The largest producing countries are Cote dTvoire, Ghana, and indonesia. The Criollo variety is found in Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Sri Lanka. Forastero, which means "foreigner" in Spanish, is now the predominant variety cultivated in Africa. Trinitario is grown mainly in Trinidad.

Cubeb is a perennial climbing vine that is native to indonesia, and mainly Java. It can grow to 20 feet in length. The leaves are oval to oblong, and the white dioecious flowers grow in spikes. The reddish brown fruits grow in clusters; they resemble black peppers with stalks attached. Cubeb is often grown on coffee plantations to provide shade for the coffee plants. |

See article keywords and concepts | | The soap that grows on trees
Across the jungles of India and indonesia, a surprisingly practical tree called sapindus mukorrosi grows a small fruit surrounded by a firm outer shell, much like a lychee or rambutan. This tree, also called the Chinese Soapberry Tree, is unique in the fact that it synthesizes its own natural soap-like saponins that coat the shell of the fruit. When the fruits ripen and fall from the tree, local families harvest the windfall, then remove the inner fruit from the outer shell. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Then in 1815, after the eruption of Indonesia's Tomboro volcano, the coldest summer on record produced catastrophic crop failures. Food riots in England and France spread across the continent when hungry workers faced skyrocketing bread prices. The price of a loaf of bread remained a cenrral point of working-class protest as the discontent of the urban poor bred radicals and revolutionaries.
A potato blight that arrived from America in 1844-45 showed just how insecure food production had become. |

See article keywords and concepts | | It's interesting that western nations claim indonesia must "share" its virus samples, and yet when it comes down to the products manufactured from those samples, drug companies certainly aren't interested in "sharing" their profits or patents with anyone. You see, when capitalist corporations were in Kindergarten, nobody taught them how to share. | | Now, why don't these drug companies simply promise indonesia a percentage on all drugs sold? Or why don't they promise the vaccines will be "open source" and not patented at all? Because they're greedy, of course. I mean, if this were really about public safety, the drug companies would openly share all this information and allow any country in the world to manufacture its own vaccines. But that only happens in Dreamland. In the real world today, drug companies are blatantly interested in only one thing: Corporate profits. | | As you may know, countries like Australia, the United States and the UK are applying heavy political pressure to indonesia in an attempt to force it to give up its influenza DNA samples. These nations claim that it's critical for public health and necessary to manufacture vaccines that will save people from the next great pandemic.
Hogwash. Let me explain what's really going on here. The World Health Organization actually conspires with western pharmaceutical companies to acquire influenza samples from poor countries. |

See article keywords and concepts |  When you purchase and use soap berries, you encourage the growing of these sacred trees while also providing honest, close-to-the-earth work for farmers and families in the countries where these soap berries are produced: India, indonesia, Taiwan and other SE Asian nations.
Soap berries are grown without pesticides. All soap berries are naturally organic. (Because bugs don't like to eat soap.) Their cultivation is earth-friendly and sustainable, which is in great contrast to the chemical production of laundry detergent which pollutes our waters, soils and bodies. |

See article keywords and concepts |  They contain absolutely no synthetic chemicals or additives, and they're sustainably harvested in countries like indonesia, India and Taiwan. The soap contained in the shell of the soap berry is highly concentrated: Just two or three soap nut shells cleans an entire load of laundry. The saponins also naturally exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties, leading to fresh, clean smelling clothes without the need for artificial fragrance chemicals.

Turkish health authorities launch an investigation to determine if two-year-old Sahibe Yetistiren is Turkey's fourth death from bird flu. Experts say this is unlikely, as she had a bacterial lung infection rather than a viral one, and that she had no history of contact with birds.
Jan. 14, 2006 -- A 13-year-old Indonesian girl dies of bird flu, bringing the country's bird flu death toll to 13.
The girl's 5-year-old sister and 3-year-old brother are tested for bird flu, but results are inconclusive.

In all these cases, migrants would be well advised to establish their new communities at a safe distance from the coast. |

The Regulation of GM Foods Inadequate to Protect Public Health
Regulators are often hijacked by the biotech industry
In indonesia, Monsanto gave bribes or illegal payments to at least 140 officials, attempting to get their GM cotton approved.1 In a district in India, an official tampered with the report on Bt cotton, increasing the yield figures to favor Monsanto. | | Similarly, about 70% of the 4,438 farmers growing Bt cotton in indonesia were unable to repay their credit after the first year of planting.14)
In the spring of 2005, the government of Andhra Pradesh acknowledged that the losses to Bt cotton farmers for the season totaled about $10 million.15 Crop wilting in Madhya Pradesh cost an estimated $87.5 million.16 And in parts of Tamil Nadu, "Up to 75% of the Bt cotton seeds failed to germinate."17 The true cost of Bt cotton cannot be calculated in financial terms. Thousands of indebted Bt cotton farmers in India committed suicide. |
