 If the FDA had broken down the doors of a building belonging to the Nation of Islam (or any church / organization), I would have mentioned the Nation of Islam instead. And the idea that my mentioning of any organization is somehow an endorsement of that organization is utterly illogical and has no basis in reality.
I do not selectively censor the mentioning of any particular church, self-help group or political organization simply based on their current popularity or level of conformity with the beliefs of mainstream America. |

 Non-profit organization to be announced
In a matter of weeks, we'll be announcing the launch of our new non-profit organization, which has full IRS recognition and approval as a 501(c)3 organization, able to accept tax-deductible donations. So if you're thinking of offering a donation of some kind to NewsTarget, you might want to wait a couple of weeks until this non-profit is announced. |

 The first rule is: never believe any organization that gains money or power from the proliferation of chronic disease.
In other words, don't listen to an organization that profits from the proliferation of disease. This would include all pharmaceutical companies, of course, and even national disease organizations such as the American Heart Association, which receives millions of dollars in funding each year from pharmaceutical companies. Why shouldn't you listen to these organizations? Because they have a clear conflict of interest. |

 One of the interesting things about this documentary -- and perhaps one of the criticisms, if I may offer one -- is that the same is true of really any organization. It doesn't have to be a corporation. Remember, a corporation is a legal entity, but much the same goes on with federal regulatory agencies like the FDA and USDA. These organizations created by the federal government -- which is supposed to be created by the people -- really have no purpose other than to survive and grow and accumulate more power. We see the same thing in various nonprofit organizations, as well. |

 In 1995, Noel Rose approached Virginia Ladd, president of the then fledgling American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), the only autoimmune advocacy organization that encompasses all of the autoimmune diseases, and said, "We have got to find the numbers." Ladd, a small but determined gray-haired dynamo who had founded the organization, was able to come up with only five thousand dollars to fund the project, a paltry sum in the high-roller arena of scientific research. |

 And as we've all seen, once guidelines are translated into action by any governmental organization, they immediately undergo an expansion that takes their application far beyond whatever original intent was written in the document.
For example, when the RICO Act was initially passed (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt organization Act) in 1970, lawmakers insisted it would only apply to organized crime gangs. You know: mob bosses and their henchmen. But guess what? |

 Notice that there is still no statement whatsoever from the Almond Board that says these pasteurized almonds will be accurately labeled as "pasteurized". The organization simply claims the almonds will be labeled, "in line with FDA regulations." Of course, those regulations may or may not be honest.
Why won't the Almond Board of California simply announce that pasteurized almonds will be labeled "pasteurized?" Why is this simple truth such a difficult thing for the organization to publicly support? |

| Here's an organization that's supposed to be fighting diabetes, and it's taking money from a company that sells products that any nutritionist would agree contain ingredients strongly correlated with the promotion of diabetes and obesity. It does that because it needs to thrive and survive. It needs to grow and extend its influence. It's not that the people in that organization are evil; it's that the organization itself has no other purpose than to survive and extend its influence in the world. |

 Opposite words such as "Angel" and "Devil," "Soul" and "Demon," "Let's do it" and "Do it" showed the same results of organization versus disorganization. Similarly, sounds from different music selections of folk and classical versus heavy metal did the same.
The researchers then experimented with prayer. Water that was spoken to consciously in prayer, blessing, or appreciation invariably resulted in organized, healthy and alive-looking ice crystals. Is it any wonder that most religions of the world have practices of blessing their food before eating it? |

 So for instance, in our example of Integrator 1, if the distortion was with organization, it could mean that this person might feel unsettled by a messy environment or feel overly stressed if things or events in his or her life are not predictable and orderly, or it could mean that he or she is having to deal with others who have problems with organization and so is impacted, too. |

| It is naive to believe that any governmental organization will simply halt when it reaches the boundary of whatever power has been granted to it. All governments and government organizations seek to expand their power. It is a natural law of bureaucracy.
Want the ultimate example? The entire U.S. government was supposed to be operating on power granted to it by the people. The U.S. Constitution specifically said that all powers NOT granted to the federal government are reserved to the people (the States). But look around you. Do you see a government that feels it owes its power to the people? |

 It recently was brought to our attention that your organization uses the slogan BECAUSE WE'RE WORTH IT! on its website and to identify its Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. As you no doubt are aware, for nearly thirty years, L'Oreal's signature slogan has been BECAUSE YOU'RE WORTH IT. L'Oreal owns federal trademark registrations not only for BECAUSE TOU'RE WORTH IT, but also for BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT and BECAUSE WE'RE WORTH IT, TOO! Tour organization's use of BECAUSE WE'RE WORTH IT cannot help but cause confusion as to source, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with L'Oreal. |

| I do not selectively censor the mentioning of any particular church, self-help group or political organization simply based on their current popularity or level of conformity with the beliefs of mainstream America. My purpose in the article was to document FDA raids, and since the FDA chose to target Scientology, that's what got included in the story. I have no intention of endorsing, debating or debunking anything whatsoever about Scientology. |

 According to these experiences, organization and economy of the cultivation of medicinal plants shows some practical characteristics compared with other horticultural crops. Although considerable differences are found among medicinal plant species and growing years, the value of the end product per unit area is usually eight- to tenfold higher than in cereals.18 To achieve this, producers should consider the following organizational steps and economical aspects.
• In Europe, the area of agricultural firms dedicated primarily to medicinal plants ideally reaches at least 25 to 30 hectares. |

 Does anyone honestly believe that this criminal organization has any capacity whatsoever to act in the public interest? Even many Senators are fed up with the FDA's unprecedented level of corruption and criminal behavior.

 It is a non-profit organization that publishes information about the healing power of nutritional supplements and genuine anti-aging breakthroughs from the world of natural health.
On February 26, 1987, approximately 25 armed FDA agents and U.S. Marshals burst through the glass doors of the Ft. Lauderdale offices of the Life Extension Foundation with guns drawn. A second group of FDA agents simultaneously attacked the LEF warehouse, where they detained LEF founder William Faloon at gunpoint.
Employees were lined up against the wall and searched. |

For your reference, here are the two letters received from the Almond Board of California: One on April 4th, and the second modified version on April 6th. (Bolding has been added for emphasis.)
April 4th letter from the Almond Board
The Almond Board of California, representing the California almond industry, has consumers’ health and safety as its number one priority as it implements an industry-wide pasteurization program. |

 It was marked by rapid increases in the complexity of medical organization and technologies, and in the number of specializations—already burgeoning by the end of the nineteenth century. Hospitals, still in the late nineteenth century regarded by many as places of last resort in medical care (and thus serving mainly the poor), became the central institution of medical practice and education, and prominent research sites. |
| As in the US, their efforts, beginning with organization (the British Medical Association was founded in 1832, and was intended, like its US counterpart, to fight orthodox corruption and quackery alike), self-regulation and the raising of educational standards, and building on the successes of the emerging 'germ theory' did meet with considerable and growing success. |
| It also sketched out Ayurvedic principles, organization, and models of the body; described the discoveries and innovations of Charaka and Susruta—and bemoaned Ayurveda's losses, its 'history of stagnation and decay' caused by religious scruples, invasions, and internal feuding, as losses to medicine as a whole.29 Articles following this format appeared sporadically in the medical press until the 1970s.
A 1964 Lancet editorial exemplifies another way in which information about Ayurveda came to the attention of the medical profession. |
