NaturalNooks.com , as part of its efforts to educate Congress regarding the inestimable benefits of health care freedom of choice, has asked its hundreds of thousands of supporters, with many of your constituents, including me, among them, to alert you to our deep concerns for the protection of organic and small family farms and ranches from new legislation and regulation that is more properly applied to large-scale agricultural businesses.  The net result of this bill, and any like it, will be to industrialize the food production of the United States with near total loss of small scale, wholesome and community-based farming.  This is a loss that neither our society nor our collective health status can afford.

Our concern focuses on legislation to establish a “Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services.” This bill is H.R. 2749 which passed the House of Representatives on July 30, 2009 despite intense opposition from the people of the United States.  The Senate will soon consider a similar bill. While we do support DIVESTING THE FDA and USDA of their often mis-used food authority, I adamantly oppose the bill which the House just passed. AS MY ELECTED SENATOR, I URGE YOU TO VOTE AGAINST THESE BILLS and any similar substitutes.

If the Senate insists upon passing these dangerous and ill-advised bills, it is urgently important that you write into these bills specific language protecting organic and small family farms and ranches as well as family and personal food production. These enterprises and all natural products, including organic and natural food products and Dietary Supplements, must be unambiguously exempted from the controls of these bills.

Such products and such farms and ranches are not part of the food safety problem. They are, in fact, the food safety system.  The problem is with mega-farms and agra business facilities.

H.R. 2749 includes a weak exemption for farmer-to-consumer or farmer-to-restaurant sales, that is not enough!

We, the health and freedom focused eaters of the United States demand that our natural and organic food products, Dietary Supplements and their producers be protected from the increased regulation of food producers provided in these pending bills and any similar enactments.

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Health Freedom is Our First Freedom and I look to you to protect it for all Americans.

Addendum: Kindly accept this PETITION requesting that Congress amend the pending bills to include a specified Rule of Interpretation:

PETITION

To Amend the Food Safety Modernization Act following the Adoption by the House of Representatives of HR 2749 By the Addition of the Natural and Family Food and Farming Exclusion Amendment

To:  The Members of the Senate of the United States of America:

Whereas the proposed Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services should focus its activities on the significant public administration issues involving the capacity of large scale, industrialized agriculture to threaten public safety,

Whereas organic and natural agriculture, family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products,
including dietary supplements are not a significant part of the food safety problem, and

Whereas Congress previously provided for an exemption for natural food dietary supplements from the increased agency authority granted by the FDA Modernization Act of 2007, through a rule of interpretation, added as section

1011 of that Act, and has on numerous occasions exempted small and family farms from the same level of regulation as has been deemed necessary in the case of industrialized agriculture,

The citizens ascribing to this Petition therefore hereby request that H.R. 2749 or any Food Safety Modernization Act be defeated, or that it, or any substitute for it be amended to exclude organic and natural agriculture, family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products, including dietary supplements, through a rule of interpretation, as follows:

Rule of Interpretation:

“No provision of this act shall be deemed to apply (a) to any home, home-business, homestead, small farm organic or natural agricultural activity, (b) to any family farm or ranch, or (c) to any natural or organic food product, including dietary supplements regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.”

We also note the language of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC sec 203 (s) (2) which provides, "(2) Any establishment that has as its only regular employees the owner thereof or the parent, spouse, child, or other member of the immediate family of such owner shall not be considered to be an enterprise engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce or a part of such an enterprise..." Language such as this would be helpful to allay our concerns.

If the FDA Center for Food Safety is to be moved into a new Food Safety Agency, then Dietary Supplements, regulated as foods under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) should be included in such agency, with the proviso that such substances, as foods, are deemed safe when used as directed.

Furthermore, the ascribing citizens Petition the Congress of the United States to declare it the public policy of the United States that organic and natural agriculture, family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products, including dietary supplements shall be at all times free from suit, vexation, trouble, penalty, or loss of their goods, for the inestimable values they confer upon the public.

I am also strongly against the Irradiation of All Foods and Supplements under the Codex Alimentariuss which the United States has already agreed to be included in the World Trade Organization Irradiation Act. If this irradiation of foods, fruits, vegetables, supplements, etc., happens along with the bill H.R. 2749, it will render all herbal supplements and herbal cancer fighting formulas WORTHLESS!

For more info watch this Physician's YouTube 5 part series Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_isdBSrBihk 

Irradiation Kills All of the health beneficial enzymes, phyto-nutrients, and immune system support compounds within whatever is subjected to high doses of radiation. Do we really want radiation sprayed on our food? I think not!

Already there is an herbalist concerned that if this Codex is implemented along with the House Bill, his cancer prevention and curing natural formulas will STOP WORKING because the natural healing substances in the food, fruits, and herbs will be DEAD! We can't allow this to happen people!

The Codex is a privately owned trade association that has hoodwinked us big time. A decade ago or so, the US signed onto the WTO (World Trade Organization) Treaty, although it wasn't done properly.

The treaty says we have to follow the Codex. The Codex says all foods...including organically grown foods...must be irradiated. The WTO has strong talons to enforce this law.

When that happens, his recipes won't work any longer. In fact, no food will produce a return of health to those who are sick.

Go start watching the 5 part video series. This is the biggest news story about your health EVER. I mean it when I say his recipes won't work...they won't!

You'll be left with radiation, chemo and surgery, which is just how the people behind this want it. But they won't work because your food will be illness producing.

This is an uphill battle...we might fail unless we make this a priority. If we do fail, you can expect the rates of illness to start increasing until it reaches a crescendo. Please pass this along to your buddy list. Our only chance is to spread the truth to all People on this Planet!

Health Freedom is a God-Given Right to All People on this Earth and it SHALL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY or millions more WILL DIE without the natural healing and disease preventative properties within these dietary and herbal supplements, fruits and vegetables, anything dosed with Radiation Poison.

Send this to all your friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues and also to radio, tv, talkshows and news stations.

For example, according to clinical research, these all cure cancer...

1. DMSO on IV drip - DMSO beats brain cancer tumors and other advanced cancers and is given intravenously or on IV drip. DMSO is short for dimethyl sulfoxide -- an organic, sulfur-rich substance found in the woody part of trees. It was first discovered by a Russian researcher back in 1866. It is also an extremely effective natural pain killer.

2. Lactoferrin - Lactoferrin beats even the deadliest leukemia cancers.

3. Kombu seaweed - Japanese kombu seaweed kills endstage super cancers. We carry a most powerful antioxidant fruit drink (search for OliViva) which contains Kombu, Olive Leaf, Pomegranate, Aloe Vera, Artctic Root and Green Tea and tastes delicious. The ORAC is unbeatable with over 8O,OOO. This is stronger than even Acai Berry, Noni and Mangosteen Fruit drinks.

4. Graviola - Brazilian Herb ten thousand times stronger than chemotherapy but safe without the painful harsh immune system destroying healthy cell destruction and horrible nausea and vomiting side effects that occur with conventional chemo treatment for cancers. (It was kept under wraps for over 70 yrs by a pharmaceutical company (I better not mention the name here...Searle) doing research in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest and they did not want it publicly known because it would decrease cancer drug profits and hurt the conventional cancer industry "treatment".)

Side Note: There are tons of potential medicinal plants there, but the land is being destroyed every day due to construction and progress of our civilization. Please support saving the Rain Forest.

5. Photoluminescence - It is already banned in the USA. It is a process similar to dialysis where blood transfusion extraction is taken from the patient and the blood sample is put under ultraviolet light and then re-transfused or infused back into the body. It worked too well against cancer, so you might have to go to Germany, Russia, or a Special Mexican Clinic for Alternative Cancer Treatments not legal in the U.S.

6. Vitamin C IV therapy - The fda is in the process of trying to ban in the USA as a cancer treatment because it works too well. Vitamin C IV drip is given intravenously to the patient to kill cancer cells within the body. Vitamin C, which is the recognized super-antioxidant, free-radical fighting vitamin. Dr Linus Pauling, the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate theorized that sufficient Vitamin C would wipe out strokes, heart attacks and most forms of Cancer.

7. Full Body System Detox - Liver, blood, lymph, kidney, and colon cleansing natural flushes fight cancer. (It is hard to endure, the body goes thru some major hell trying to eliminate the toxins, parasites, heavy metals, etc. It is what is called the Herxheimer-Reaction or body detox side effects like headache, nausea, and stomach pain. It is caused by the dying bacteria releasing off toxins when dying called the die-off effect.) It is well worth it though if it gets rid of your cancer or other ailments you are suffering from daily and just want to finally have some relief and be full of energy again and live a normal healthy life.

8. Resveratrol - Resveratrol destroys pancreatic cancer cells. It is an antioxidant from red grapes and red wine. Grape Seed Extract from red grapes is also beneficial. Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell's core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function. Resveratrol interferes with the cancer tumor cells' energy source and without it, pancreatic cancer cells die. The study is published in the March edition of the journal, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.

9. Ionic Silver Water and other Micro-Partical Ionic Silver Water - Often called... "The World's Most Powerful Natural Antibiotic." Since the 1930's, silver was demonstrated and clinically tested to be effective on over 650 pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast and even in today's fight on MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) http://www.naturalnooks.com/store-products-cb1326-Colloidal-Silver-20-ppm-4oz-or-118-ml-bottle_1097928910.html That is why there are extreme misinformation and propaganda campaigns waged and even laws being passed to hide the infection fighting properties of silver over ineffective antibiotics and decrease drug company revenue.

Super Bugs are being created that are resistant to antibiotics and have built an immunity to pharmaceuticals. Ionic Silver puts cancer cells in check. Ionic silver products are inexpensive, safe and extraordinarily effective as a dietary supplement. At just 10 particles per million (ppm) ionic silver formulations have demonstrated the ability to unravel and check rogue cancer cells in the test tube. Public reports from seven top universities, such as Medical College of Ohio and Tulane University in Louisiana, all confirmed ionic silver's powerful counter effects against human lymphoma cells, melanoma, breast, cervical and prostate carcinoma, and even osteosarcoma bone cancer cells.

10. Germanium and other Trace Minerals- (Interferon) The mineral Germanium triggers the essential production of alpha, delta and gamma interferon's within the body to fight diseases such as leukemia and cancer.

11. Garlic - DAS, DADS, and DATS -- Natural chemical compounds that kill brain cancer cells and tumors by creating chemical reactions that basically gorge the cancer tumor cells to death called cell apoptosis. Swapan Ray, Ph.D.(MUSC Neurosciences/Neurology associate professor), Naren Banik, Ph.D. (MUSC Neurosciences/Neurology professor), and Arabinda Das, Ph.D. (MUSC Neurosciences/Neurology post-doctoral fellow) studied three pure organo-sulfur compounds (DAS, DADS, and DATS) from garlic and the interaction with human glioblastoma cells. All three compounds demonstrated efficacy in eradicating brain cancer cells, but DATS proved to be the most effective. The study is published in the September issue of the American Cancer Society's journal, Cancer.

12. DIM - Anti-cancer and immune system boosting powers of DIM from broccoli and cabbage extracts. Diindolylmethane is a natural chemical compound that fights cancer and is also a great immune system support product that is natural.

13. Green Tea - Green Tea contains EGCG. EGCG ( epigallocatechin-3-P-gallate) is a natural polyphenol chemical compound found in organic green tea extract that prevents colon cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, and breast cancer. It is also used for healthy weight management.

14. Most Powerful Antioxidants - Super Antioxidants prevent cancer, sickness, obesity, degenerative diseases, destroy or neutralize dangerous free-radicals and are anti-aging. Antioxidants allow you to live longer, feel better, increase energy, and look younger and remain healthy so you can enjoy a long fun life with lots of great memories of friends, family, and your loved ones, life experiences and loving pets. If you know that antioxidants accomplish these amazing benefits, then why wouldn't you want the best most powerful antioxidants in the world? The "World's Most Powerful Antioxidant" is available on this immune system support products website right now.

May 1st, 2009  FDA warns dieters: Stop Hydroxycut use immediately Government health officials warned dieters and body builders Friday to immediately stop using Hydroxycut, widely sold natural supplements for weight loss linked to cases of serious liver damage and at least one death.

The Food and Drug Administration said the maker of the natural supplements for weight loss has agreed to recall 14 Hydroxycut products. Available in grocery stores and pharmacies, Hydroxycut is advertised as a natural supplements for weight loss made from natural ingredients. At least 9 million packages of these natural supplements for weight loss were sold last year, the FDA said.

Dr. Linda Katz of the FDA's food and nutrition division said the agency has received 23 reports of liver problems, including the death of a 19-year-old boy living in the Southwest. The teenager died in 2007 from these natural supplements for weight loss, and the death was reported to the FDA this March. Other patients whom ingested these natural supplements for weight loss experienced symptoms ranging from jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, to liver failure. One received a transplant and another was placed on a list to await a new liver.

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. distributor of these natural supplements for weight loss, Iovate Health Sciences, headquartered near Buffalo, N.Y. Made by a Canadian company, Hydroxycut is used by people trying to shed pounds and by body builders to sharpen their muscles.

Natural supplements for weight loss aren't as tightly regulated by the government as medications. Manufacturers don't need to prove to the FDA that their natural supplements for weight loss are safe and effective before they can sell them to consumers. But regulators monitor aftermarket reports for signs of trouble, and in recent years companies have been put under stricter requirements to alert the FDA when they learn of problems.

Katz said it has taken so long to get a handle on the Hydroxycut problem because the cases of liver damage were rare and the FDA has no authority to review natural supplements for weight loss before they're marketed. "Part of the problem is that the FDA looks at dietary supplements from a post-market perspective, and an isolated incident is often difficult to follow," she said.

The FDA relies on voluntary reports to detect such problems, and many cases are never reported, officials acknowledge. Health officials said they have been unable to determine which Hydroxycut ingredients are potentially toxic, partially because the formulation of the products has changed several times. A medical journal report last month raised questions about one ingredient, hydroxycitric acid, derived from a tropical fruit. The article said it could potentially damage the liver.

FDA misinformation or fact. You decide.
