[…]OA of the knee.[viii] One group of knee patients took 40 grams (about four tablespoons) of sesame seeds per day. A second group took 500 mg of Tylenol twice a day as well as 500 mg of glucosamine once a day. The sesame seeds were found to be just as effective as Tylenol and glucosamine for reducing the intensity of knee pain. And of course, sesame seeds don’t have the dangerous side effects of Tylenol. 6. Cook with Ginger. In a head to head match-up of ginger extract with the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, ginger proved to be just as good […]
[…]walk from beachside resorts in Kihei on the island of Maui, at one of several experimental and seed production farms operated by Monsanto. “A teaspoon of methyl parathion would kill you,” said one U.S. government expert, “and several other people as well.” Before EPA banned the chemical outright in 2013, it bore a “restricted” label which advised that it should not be sprayed in winds above 10 mph. But weather data show the wind on July 15, 2014, on Maui was blowing at an average of more than 18 mph, gusting to more than 23 mph, potentially sending the highly toxic substance […]
[…]of Justice approved the German pharmaceutical and chemical group’s bid to buy the US seed giant for more than $60 billion with Bayer selling off additional assets to alleviate anti-trust concerns. RELATED STORY: Bayer and Monsanto — 2 Destructive Behemoths Become 1 The two companies have claimed that their merger will boost agricultural research and innovation but many aren’t buying it. Robb Fraley, Monsanto’s chief technology officer said, “By the time 2050 rolls around, the world will have 10 billion people, and the demand for food will double. The whole point here is that the business combination between Monsanto and Bayer will […]
[…]makes “biodegradable, nontoxic pesticides from renewable, plant-based sources like grain and seed crops.”2 And whereas Monsanto/Bayer’s products are poisonous and have been recently found in a number of finished food products (something that’s not supposed to happen), “PureCrop1’s formula leaves no poisonous residue on crops and is safe for people, animals, and the planet.”3 And its nontoxic pesticide “has been proven to be effective in providing crops with natural resistance to disease and insects.”4 RELATED STORY: ABC: Monsanto ordered to pay $289 million in damages to man who gets terminal cancer from Monsanto’s Roundup, his lawyer RFK Jr thrilled!

[…]I wanted to know is: what happens to a falling star as the sun goes out? Stars fall like dust or seed in this or in other worlds, and the sun be scattered in our minds, in the lives of many beings, what will be reborn as a new light, or cosmic wind scattered in infinity. I understand that this is necessary included in the structure of the Universe. The thing is, though, is that one of these stars and one of these suns, even the smallest, preserves. Journalist: But, Mr. Tesla, you realize that this is necessary and is […]
[…]dairy cows are fed a steady diet of GMO feed, including corn, soy, alfalfa, and cotton seed. That’s an unhealthy diet for animals. And an unsustainable model for agriculture. Starbucks peddles mostly non-organic, GMO (junk) foods and drinks Starbucks may use GMO-free (non-organic) milk in its coffee drinks, but only 1.1 percent of its coffee is certified organic. And there are plenty of other GMO-tainted (and non-organic) products and ingredients on the Starbucks menu. In fact, the addition of breakfast sandwiches, juice and tea are credited with a recent uptick in company sales. “The single largest contributor to the comparable sales growth in the [second] quarter was food,” […]

[…]as the almond tree. Although almonds are commonly referred to as nuts, they’re actually the seeds found at the center of the almond fruit, which closely resembles a peach. Almonds can be consumed whole, ground into flour and even made into non-dairy milk. They are very rich in fat, making them a perfect source of oil. Sweet almonds are the variety typically eaten and used to make foods, oils and cosmetics. Meanwhile, bitter almonds are believed to have medicinal properties, though they can be toxic if they’re not properly processed. Moreover, they’re not widely available.

[…]tend to have mostly short-term effects in alleviating symptoms of aging skin. Aloe, ginger, grape seed, and coral extracts – These natural foods and extracts contain a large amount of antioxidants, which could have potentially anti-aging effects on the skin. However, there is very little proof that they have any anti-wrinkling effects on the skin. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) – Small doses of AHA could help exfoliate stubborn protein layers on the skin, and help encourage more collagen to grow. However, this should only be used under the discretion of a dermatologist, as it could cause skin burns, itching, pain, scarring, and increased […]
[…]in the country’s history. Monsanto relies on the sale of RoundUp to prop up their seed monopoly so this decision should be a warning sign to them about the rest of Europe (at least we hope). In fact, the Dutch have already banned glyphosate, and France and Brazil followed in their footsteps. A recent and study, published in the journal Toxicology, by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, (which also proved to be controversial) found that RoundUp is more toxic than was previously suggested. More from the article: “… all the glyphosate-based herbicides tested are more toxic than glyphosate alone, and [this study] explains why. Thus […]
[…]including rashes, that appear to be associated with the handling and application of this seed treatment product.” (It has also been claimed that some users who had issues might not have followed instructions to wear protective equipment, like gloves.) RELATED STORY: NYT: Monsanto caught influencing media to lie about Roundup “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) did extensive evaluations of the product before approving it for use, according to Monsanto, which has described NemaStrike as ‘blockbuster technology.’ The agency could not immediately be reached for comment after hours on Wednesday. ‘The technology is effective and can be used safely when following label […]
[…]uncomfortably in their seats, if they regretted inviting their workers. Did they realize that seeds were planted? That we will continue to water these seeds and that this is how transformation grows? As we cleaned up the hall, Robert Stevenson approached me. He thanked me for coming over and offered a word of warning. “I hope you remember, next time you come to Moloka‘i, that this is what our community thinks about your work and this is where we stand.” I responded, “I understand, Robert, that what we’re sharing is not popular and that conversations like these are hard.

[…]to buy evil corporation, Monsanto Co. for $62 billion. This would create the world’s largest seed and pesticide business. Quite frankly I’m not sure how this is potentially even legal. When this story first came out the purchase price was for far less and it seemed to be just a possibility. But, on May 10th, Bayer released a letter to Monsanto Chief Executive Hugh Grant outlining plans to combine Monsanto’s No. 1 position in seeds and crop genetics with the German company’s vast experience in pesticides to create a truly terrifying monster. Bayer’s Chief Executive Werner Baumann, told reports on Monday that the […]
[…]commodity trading companies have refused to take certain GMO crops from farmers because the seeds used hadn’t received a full array of global approvals, something that can lead to holdups at ports or even the rejection of entire cargoes.” Although Brazil is the the second largest producer of GM crops in the world (after the U.S.) and grows 29 varieties of GM corn, their chicken farmers have had enough and are refusing to feed their birds GM corn. But there’s good reason not to. In a recent study, led by Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini, it was shown that the first genetically-modified GM crop commercialized […]
