Natural health community having a huge impact on Senate bill S.1082; consumers achieving important victories Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The FDA wants to use this computer software to design the entire next generation of powerful biological medicines -- making all of private industry use its software technology. The Reagan-Udall foundation is the tool that FDA plans to use for patent protection and licensing arrangements of its technology with private industry -- and thus the creation of FDA, Inc. Von Eschenbach is on record as stating that the Critical Path Initiative is the FDA's top priority (not drug safety or food safety).

Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer Shannon Brownlee See book keywords and concepts

We can't improve the quality of health care or control costs without better evidence for what works and what doesn't, and we can't expect private industry, which currently funds a majority of clinical trials, to underwrite the research that's necessary to give us that evidence. Getting medicine that's based on reality, rather than potential return on investment, requires a new source of funding. We collectively, as taxpayers and patients, have to find ways to fill the gaping holes in the science of medicine if we want better health care at the best price.

The Secret History of the War on Cancer Devra Davis See book keywords and concepts

No government knew of these private industry studies while they were under way. The results were horrifying. About one in ten of the exposed rats had an exceptionally rare tumor of the liver, angiosarcoma. Not one of the unexposed animals did. In animals or humans, angiosarcoma is a death sentence. It starts in the lining of the blood vessels of the liver, and once the malignant cells break through into the bloodstream, they inevitably spread throughout the body. There is no known treatment.

Big Pharma: free market economics run amok Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Our present government is basically just an extension of private industry. In fact, many new legislative initiatives have been designed precisely to protect the profits of private industry (the Cheeseburger Bill designed to make fast food companies immune to lawsuits, the mandatory mental health screening initiative designed to hook more children on prescription drugs, the new bankruptcy laws that make it more difficult for consumers to file for bankruptcy, etc.) It's not enough to say that Big Business and Big Government are in bed together... they are, in fact, nearly indistinguishable.

In the world of academic books and mathematical models, all consumers benefit from the greed of private industry. But in the real world, people die broke and sick. The power of the free market doesn't stand up to the reality of collusion between private industry and government. And in the end, it's all just another giant scam to extract time, money and effort from working class people everywhere. In other words, business as usual.

The Reagan-Udall foundation is the tool that FDA plans to use for patent protection and licensing arrangements of its technology with private industry -- and thus the creation of FDA, Inc. Von Eschenbach is on record as stating that the Critical Path Initiative is the FDA's top priority (not drug safety or food safety). The Critical Path Initiative has been repeatedly attacked because it would expose patients to drugs with far less testing for safety and effectiveness compared to drugs already on the market.

FDA drug safety bill passes in the U.S. Senate; health freedom advocates outraged at betrayal of American consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

From this point forward, government and private industry will now act as one incestuous, unstoppable entity to trap American consumers in a system of fraudulent medicine designed to do nothing more than extract dollars from their pockets. No meaningful reform will be tolerated. No limits on FDA tyranny will even be openly discussed. During this rare window of opportunity for real, positive change that could have protected Americans from the predatory marketing practices of criminally-operated drug companies, our lawmakers utterly failed us.

The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe Lynne Mctaggart See book keywords and concepts

Indeed, it had attracted an impressive audience of physicists from the British government, a NASA marshal, various astrophysicists from the French Laboratoire D'Astrophysics Marseilles and the French Laboratory of Gravitation, Relativity and Cosmology, professors from American and European universities, and some fifteen representatives of private industry. This was just a seed meeting, not a true scientific conference, mainly to start the ball rolling - a precursor to the international conference to be held December 2oor.

Aspartame found to cause breast cancer, leukemia and lymphomas in latest animal experiments Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Nearly every decision that has been made about aspartame by government regulators or private industry has been a political decision, not a public safety decision. There is nothing resembling public safety still operating at the Food and Drug Administration anymore. Add aspartame to the FDA's Hall of Shame, right alongside Vioxx, Rezulin and the ordered destruction of recipe books that dared to mention the stevia herb as an ingredient.

How food manufacturers trick consumers with deceptive ingredients lists Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Requirements for listing food ingredients were created by a joint effort between the government and private industry (food corporations). In the beginning, food corporations didn't want to be required to list any ingredients at all. They claimed the ingredients were "proprietary knowledge" and that listing them would destroy their business by disclosing their secret manufacturing recipes. It's all nonsense, of course, since food companies primarily want to keep consumers ignorant of what's really in their products.

FDA tyranny to become law: HR.2900 analysis by Richards and Adams Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Such a relationship with private industry is an unprecedented conflict of interest, totally at odds with drug safety. The current commissioner of the FDA, Andrew von Eschenbach, M.D. is little more than a Big Biotech sales rep with massive industry connections. The House, like the Senate, will continue to allow direct to consumer advertising of new drugs with unknown risks -- a flagrant safety risk that will cost many people their lives. Congressional leaders said they couldn't prevent this advertisement for fear of violating the first amendment rights of drug companies. What a joke.

Doctors, American Medical Association hawked cigarettes as healthy for consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The medical conspiracy continues today It is my belief that just as private industry and the medical community conspired to deceive the public on tobacco (and thereby profit from the public's ignorance of tobacco's extreme health hazard), the same story is repeating itself today in the cancer industry, the sunscreen industry, and the pharmaceutical industry. In each case, so-called "authoritative" doctors insist that whatever they're pushing is safe for human consumption, and that the public should buy their products without any concern about safety.

The hoax of modern medicine: Seven facts you need to know Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: What happens when the Bush Administration negotiates drug prices with private industry using public money? To answer the question, just consider the situation with U.S. government "negotiations" over the prices of prescription drugs for Medicare: The Bush Administration not only agreed to pay monopoly prices for medications, it also made it illegal for the government to negotiate any discounts with pharmaceutical companies! The result? A multi-trillion dollar taxpayer funded subsidy to the richest corporations in the world: Drug companies.

He spent two years in private industry with Roedler, a pharmaceutical manufacturer of homeopathic remedies, one of the few organisations to entertain his wild theories. Nevertheless, Popp, a stubborn autocrat in his own labs, was equally stubborn in persisting with his work, convinced of its validity. Eventually, he gained a patron in Professor Walter Nagl of the University of Kaiserslautern, who asked Popp to work with him. Once again, Popp's research caused a revolt among the faculty, who demanded his resignation on the grounds that his work was sullying the university's reputation.

From private industry, Domtar acquired the lands in 1962 and, in a move of environmental and economic foresight, acquired Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification as early as 2000. Raymond Royer, Domtar president and chief executive officer, explained that conservation, sustainability?that is, thinking seven generations ahead—worked financially and economically. Although the lands were protected for the future, "at the same time, this land will remain productive forestland, supporting local jobs and the important forest products economy.

Canada had just received a $3 billion windfall from the sale of its national gas company [Petro-Canada] to private industry. "Use some of that money," Suzuki said. Suzuki got a call from the PM only days before the 2004 all-important Throne Speech. "You're not going to get credit for this but I am going to take all of your recommendations, including energy, and include them in my speech," he told Suzuki.

The deal, which involved state government, private industry, and the Nature Conservancy allowed for sustainable logging and a long-term employment picture; yet it also accomplished every imaginable sensible ecological goal in a way that I don't think would happen without cooperation among citizens, government, and business. The flight was uneventful, which was to say I was happy just to be there. I didn't meet anyone to save my life, and nobody paid much attention to me, either. Even the stewardess didn't offer me free beverages, thinking I was asleep or out of it.

The FDA had concerns over the safety of food contact with postconsumer recycled papers in hot serving ware due to potential leaching problems of chemicals into edible portions, and government and private industry had to work together to alleviate such concerns. In November 2004, when Starbucks announced FDA approval to make the first coffee cup from postconsumer recycled fibers, just getting that approval was clearing a big hurdle. Yet, since food and beverage containers are a major part of today's trash, the old regulation significandy weakened the market for postconsumer recycled paper.

New values in forestry, according to ForestRe, include carbon credits that will be sold to private industry and governments as offsets to their own pollution and carbon emissions, water quality services, soil quality services, biodiversity protection schemes, and ecotourism. This is not pretty or merely cosmetic. It is critical to profits to look at natural assets as a great source of wealth or liability. The insurers are going to make companies spend vast amounts on environmental projects to protect their own investments.

Finally, by the mid-1950s neither Gamow nor Alpher and Herman were actively working on the big bang theory: Gamow was increasingly attracted to biology, where he suggested important insights into the genetic code, while Alpher and Herman left ac-ademia and moved on to careers in private industry. One cannot help thinking that lack of appreciation of their work must have played a role in those decisions. By the mid-1960s, when Penzias and Wilson were taking data from their antenna, the work of the Gamow group was all but forgotten.

As you can see from the Kennedy and Enzi comments above, they are portraying the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA as a benevolent and friendly group that will facilitate collaboration between the FDA, academia, and private industry -- receiving funding from industry and philanthropic donations -- and oh yes, let's not forget the foundation may even help with safety. Do you really think the FDA needs to create a whole organization to do that? And why wouldn't such duties just be the function of a few people or a department within the FDA?

Where's the health in health reform? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In other words, the health of our population is collapsing not because we don't have enough drugs, but because we have allowed the creation of unholy alliances between government and profit-hungry private industry that result in the systemic poisoning of our people. They are poisoned with hydrogenated oils, chemical sweeteners, and artificial colors made from petroleum products. They're poisoned by prescription drugs that cloud their minds, alter their brain chemistry and kill them with strokes and heart attacks.

Movie Review: The Island starring Ewan McGregor explores timely theme of corporate exploitation of human beings Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But overall, the scientific premise of the movie is feasible, if not eerily accurate, given what's happening today with stem cell research, cloning technology and the lack of medical ethics in private industry. "The Island" and other sci-fi movies give great insight into "big lies" In terms of the viewer experience, the movie deserves accolades for keeping you involved in the discovery process of the big lie, paralleling the main character, Lincoln Six-Echo, played by Ewan McGregor. This is a smart way to move the story forward. It keeps the viewer entertained, intrigued, and curious.

Vitamin warning! Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils as filler Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Don't you deserve healthy supplements, rather than supplements packaged with hydrogenated oils and other poisons that are legalized by our system of corrupt government and private industry? Shouldn't you deserve the very best? I think so. Get the best and put that in your body. Be healthy. Thanks for reading. This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, for Truth Publishing.

The health dangers of trans fats have been known for decades, yet food companies still poison customers with hydrogenated oils Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

On this issue, the FDA routinely caves to the pressures from private industry and has taken absolutely no action to ban this toxic ingredient, despite the undeniable evidence of its harm. 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.

Why America is still a great place to live: thirteen things I love about this country Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They have streamlined operations by mimicking the operations of private industry to create better efficiencies and a more satisfying customer experience. That's quite remarkable. Again, it's something we might take for granted in this country, but it's not something you find everywhere else in the world, and it is indeed something to be thankful for. #9: Signage Continuing on, the next best thing about America is signage. That's right: Signage is a big deal here. This may sound silly at first, but let me explain to you why this really matters.

Put an end to spam and phishing by reforming email Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We want a private industry solution, and it probably needs to come from the big leaders and the big corporations. I urge those reading to recognize that now is the time to call for serious reform of the email medium. We need a technical change. It's going to require upgrading all of the SMTP servers and all the POP servers. It needs to cover both the open source community -- all the Linux users and the Unix users -- and of course the Microsoft and Mac world, as well. It must be an open source standard. It can't be a proprietary technology, yet it needs to be secure.

Brundtland wrote back saying "there should be no conflict of interest in our partnership with private industry," though concerns about the way the WHO develops guidelines remain. Back at White Rock, British Columbia, Bob Rangno and James McCormack have just finished explaining that a hypothetical heart medication might lower someone's risk from 3 percent to 2 percent.
