 Companies that put poison into their food bear full responsibility for the health results that emerge as a result of the widespread consumption of those poisons. Federal regulators, whose job it is to police these industries, are criminally negligent in allowing the ongoing use of toxic ingredients in consumer products of all kinds. The new FDA food labeling requirement for trans fats is a tiny step in the right direction, but in no way does that step represent what the FDA is legally required to do in this situation, which is to ban this ingredient from all food and beverage products. |

 Official, government-approved drug dealers
We as a species actually have a class of professionals, highly-paid professionals, who we give the right to poison us with toxic chemicals. These people are called doctors. I call them drug dealers. Just like illegal drugs, their drugs kill people. The main difference is that these "legal" drugs enrich politically influential corporations, whereas illegal drugs enrich drug lords. Our national "War on Drugs" is quite selective in its targets, don't you think? |

 It was used therapeutically in high doses in the eighteenth century, but today we know it to be a deadly poison. I'm not against novel, alternative treatments; as I said, I use them in my own treatment programs. But my first rule is to be cautious. Today's nutritional supplement could prove to be tomorrow's arsenic. Statistics maintained by the American Association of poison Control Centers make this point and are scary. The number of poisonings from herbs, vitamins, and other dietary supplements increased nine-fold from 1983 to 2005. |

| Remember, these are the same people that want to put mercury in your mouth, so it only makes sense that they also want to poison your entire body by putting fluorosilicic acid into the water supply.
They don't call it fluorosilicic acid of course, because that might scare people. They call it fluoride -- and in fact they will even deceive the public and call it "naturally-occurring fluoride." There's nothing natural about fluorosilicic acid. |
| More poison from dentists: fluoride
That's not the end of the toxicity in the world of dentistry, we also have dentists pushing for, get this, the dripping of a highly toxic chemical waste product into the water supply... a substance that's scraped off the smokestacks of industrial polluters. They want every person in the community to actually drink this substance.
This material is a toxic waste that's regulated by the EPA. It would be illegal to drip it into a river or a stream, but for some reason, it is perfectly legal to drip it into the public water supply and let people drink it. |

 Well, certainly you should be taking a pharmaceutical that distributes a poison throughout your entire body and wards off mosquitoes. That's what they do for dogs with pills that prevent ticks and fleas. You feed your dog poison, and the poison circulates throughout that dog's entire body and ends up in the skin where it poisons parasites.
You see, they can come up with drugs for practically anything, but the truth is that these are not diseases. You don't need these drugs, and day-to-day life, even for healthy people, is not a 100 percent perfect experience. It's life, folks. Things happen. |

 Avoid "poison arrows." A bedroom with an irregular shape (in which edges such as a closet jut out) generates, geometrically speaking, "poison arrows." A sleeper regularly exposed to these influences is subject to minor health problems, mood swings, and loss of concentration. If you're stuck with a poison-arrowed corner or sharp-edged furniture, hang a crystal from the ceiling in front of the sharp edge or position a plant or folding screen to block any edges.
• Remove electronic devices, such as a television, from the bedroom; they are too stimulating. |

| Again, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves with these chemicals. And yet we have entire groups, food lobbies and public apologizers who run around saying that these ingredients are perfectly good for you. There's nothing wrong with drinking formaldehyde and formic acid. You'll be fine! Drink more! Here, in fact here's a 50 percent more coupon, so you can buy even more!

 Causes may include cosmetics, perfumes, latex or rubber, metal alloys (including silver, nickel, and gold), and poisonous plants, such as poison ivy or poison oak. Contact dermatitis can be cleared up by avoiding exposure to the allergen. Seborrheic dermatitis is a malfunction of the seborrheic glands and can result in scaling of the skin. Dandruff is a form of this condition, as is cradle cap in infants. |

 Poison Control Center, a child is accidentally poisoned every 30 seconds. Cleaning agents used to scrub your sink or make your shower stall glisten are toxic. Paint thinners, varnishes and stains are all toxic. Products we routinely use for auto care such as antifreeze, car wax, upholstery cleaners and air fresheners are poisonous. Yard products such as insect repellents, weed, mold and fungus killers are all toxic chemicals. Many of them contain proven carcinogens, yet we utilize them everyday. You don't have to swallow them to be affected. |

| Dr. poison Mercury, DDS
When we talk about mercury fillings, you have to keep in mind that mercury is simply one of the most toxic substances you can put into the human body, aside from radioactive substances. Right now, today, dentists all across the country and around the world are taking this highly toxic metal and literally putting it into the teeth of human beings. Those teeth are then used to chew food, and as a person chews; they effectively grind away the surfaces of these mercury fillings. |
| You would have to be clinically insane to not think that there's a correlation between the poison we are putting into our bodies and the diseases we are getting as a result.
Plus, as recent studies have shown, we're the #1 nation in the world in terms of mental disorders as well! Let's see: #1 in obesity, #1 in diabetes, #1 in cancer, #1 mental disorders, and we have the HIGHEST health care costs in the world, too. We have the most expensive drugs in the world. We have more doctors and health care professionals per capita than any country in the world. |

| Hydrogenated oils are so dangerous that I've authored a report on them called "Poison in the Food: Hydrogenated Oils," which can be found at TruthPublishing.com. This ingredient is so dangerous that the World Health Organization urged all member countries to outlaw it decades ago (in 1978). In the decades since, food manufacturers have been able to put enough pressure on the USDA and the FDA to keep this deadly ingredient legal, and all the while, they claimed that it was actually good for your health. |

 It's so much more than a fraud when they actually poison normal children, which is what they're doing.
Mike: I've heard it described somewhere else on the internet as a chemical holocaust or crimes against humanity.
Dr. Baughman: There has been a perversion of the language. They have taken entirely normal children and made patients out of them by diagnosing them with fictional chemical imbalances of the brain. It's a total fraud. I have observed two national news programs recently, talking about a new kind of disability that our soldiers in the Iraqi conflict are developing. |

| Food companies that knowingly put this poison into foods should be heavily fined. Better yet, hydrogenated oils should just be banned like the World Health Organization advised in 1978. It should never be allowed in the food supply, and companies that use the ingredient should have their inventory confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration, which occasionally confiscates so-called "dangerous herbs" when they post a threat to public safety, but never confiscates dangerous foods due to their hydrogenated oil content. |
| The dark side of food corporations
The big question that comes to mind, then, is: "Would for-profit corporations really allow toxic food ingredients to be routinely used in their foods where they will poison expectant mothers, newborns, children, adults and seniors?" The answer is obvious. Of course they would. Why? Because profits and power are simply more important to them than the health of the public.
When it comes down to a decision between doing what is right and doing what is profitable, food and beverage corporations will choose the profits every time. |
| Blatant FDA complicity
The FDA, of course, keeps this ingredient perfectly legal, only requiring companies to list the amount of poison found in its food. This failure to ban hydrogenated oils by the FDA -- the only agency that currently has the authority to do so -- is unconscionable and further demonstrates the pro-industry loyalty of this corrupt regulatory body. |

 Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream ($8 for 6 ounces) contains several problematic ingredients for skin, especially for use around the eyes, and is not recommended.
© poison Ivy Soap ($6 for a 2-ounce bar) is standard, drying bar soap that adds irritation to its drying base thanks to pine tar and balsam leaf. Both will lessen the itch of poison ivy, but they do so as counter-irritants (meaning their stimulus is more irritating than the poison ivy itself). |

 Traditionally, by definition, a toxin is "a poisonous substance," as the word has its roots in the Greek word toxikon, which literally translates into "poison."Today the term is used to describe anything that is foreign or poisonous to the body. Although we can certainly have toxic relatives and relationships, I generally use the term to discuss two broad classes: environmental and internal. Environmental toxins include household chemicals, industrial pollutants, food additives, and pesticides. Internal toxins consist of waste products created by normal metabolic processes within the body. |

 While you don't want to overdo it, you also don't need to avoid saturated fat like it's poison. It's not.
• Trans fat, however, is. Metabolic poison, that is. It's found in cookies, crackers, baked goods and snacks, doughnuts, French fries, and most margarines. Regardless of what the label says, if it says "partially hydrogenated oil" in the ingredients, it's got trans fat. Don't eat trans fats. Period. (The one single exception is the trans fat CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, which is found naturally in grass-fed dairy and meat and is not man-made. |

 Corticosteroids may also be needed for severe asthma, to keep the airway open; for allergic rashes such as poison ivy, poison oak, or for a rash that comes from exposure to an irritating chemical; after organ transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the new organ; for adrenal insufficiency, where the adrenal glands are not producing enough hormones; or in cancer patients to reduce pain caused caused by swelling of tumors.
Action: Just like the corticosteroids made in the adrenal glands, they act as anti-inflammatories. |

 Let's poison America!
With its stubborn refusal to even review the safety record on aspartame, the FDA seems to be shouting out loud, "Let's poison America!" Of course, the FDA has no intention of initiating anything resembling real scientific scrutiny on aspartame because aspartame was never proven safe in the first place! It was force-fed through the FDA's approval process based purely on distorted, junk science constructed to win approval for a chemical that would earn billions of dollars for powerful corporations (and the powerful, evil bastards who run them). |

 By keeping poison off the plant, the organic celery farmer is all but guaranteeing a biological process that will end with lots of poison in the plant.
Life: it's such a compromise. now that we have a better understanding of the relationship that plant evolution has on humans, let's take another look at the connection between fava beans and favism.
What do we know so far? We know that eating fava beans releases free radicals into the bloodstream. |

The nightshades are a large group of plants, some edible, some poisonous. All nightshade contains a large portion of alkaloids, chemical compounds that can be toxic to insects and other herbivores and affect humans in ways ranging from helpful to hallucinogenic. Some people speculate that "witches" included some types of nightshade in their "magic" ointments and potions—and then hallucinated that they were flying! |
