The big pHarma race is on

image

We are all aware that Big pHarma gets rich by keeping us sick. But, how bad are they really and what’s their true goal? Rather than list them all, I pick four of the biggest that are competing for the “Most Evil” title.

For those of you that are not familiar with the movie “Soylent Green”, please allow me to enlighten you.

The year is 2030. The film is centered on New York City where 40 million people live. Due to worldwide over- population and the greenhouse effect (this keeps the Earth’s surface unbearably hot due to pollution, which has exhausted the natural resources and any nourishment for the populous), the city’s infrastructure has broken down, water is rationed, there is no sun, no stars, no rainbows, no nothing. Fresh food is non-existent, and, except for the wealthy, the population lives on “Soylent Green”. To put it bluntly, life sucks big time.

So, Charlton Heston, who plays a cop in the city, undertakes finding the source of “Soylent Green”. He finds that “Soylent Green” is the dead people being fed back to the living people.

Let’s see who would be in the running for opening the first “Soylent Green” factory:

BASF
These guys are the world’s largest chemical company. They make plastics, automotive and coil coatings, feed supplements, raw materials for pharmaceuticals, and agriculture chemicals. During World War 2 they were a part of I.G. Farben that facilitated the use of 6 million Nazi prisoners as today’s lab rats. For almost 30 years after the war, they filled their highest positions with former members of Hitler’s regime. Five of BASF’s manufacturing plants in the US rank right up there with the worst 10% of similar companies for toxic chemical releases. Oh yeah, in 2001 they were fined by the Environmental Pollution Agency for almost 700 violations related to importing and selling millions of pounds of toxic pesticides.

DOW CHEMICAL
Dow is the largest chemical company in the US. They are famous for napalm, nerve gas used in World War 2 (chlorpyrifos), plastics and Styrofoam. They have managed nuclear weapons facilities and are in the coal business. They have refused payment or environmental cleanup for over half a million victims of a pesticide plant disaster. The E P A has surprisingly charged them with for withholding over 250 nerve gas poisoning incidents, and are now is the government addressing their endless dumping of dioxins into Michigan’s waterways. Last but not least, they have allowed their toxic pesticide DBCP to cause permanent sterility to thousands of farm workers.

DUPONT,
They started as a gunpowder and explosives company. During the Civil War half of the Union armies gunpowder was produced by them and all the explosives used by the Allied forces in World War 1 was theirs.
During World War 2 they produced 4.5 billion pounds of explosives, developed weapons, was the principal maker of plutonium, and contributed to the Manhattan Project, which was the name before it became the Atomic Energy Commission. FYI, during WW 2 the cost of one atomic bomb was 5 billion dollars. In 2013 they were rated in the top 5 air polluters. They also hold the distinction for receiving the EPS’s largest civil administrative penalty for failing to comply with federal law. When they diversified into chemical production they gave us Nylon, Teflon and Lycra.

MONSANTO
During the formation and naming of the corporation, the owners and executives came to a conclusion. They knew they could not compete with God, but they knew they had a shot at the Devil. They originally wanted to name the company Monsatan but they thought it might give the public a negative connotation. So, after much henpecking and marriage pressure, the owner acquiesced and gave the company his wife’s maiden name – Monsanto. If you think the former was sarcastic or satirical, you are clearly correct. Monsanto started out as a drug company with saccharin as its first product. In case you think saccharin is safe would you think of adding coal tar to anything to make it sweet? Saccharin comes from coal tar. Not wanting saccharin to stand alone to be ridiculed, they created Roundup Ready, Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, Agent Orange, PCBs, and DDT. Hey, when it comes to creating a poison for people, these are the guys. When the first nuclear bomb was created, guess who was involved? Monsanto. Then in 1967, they allied themselves with I.G. Farben. Thank God they weren’t around during the Nazi era. To strongly adhere to the saying, “In God we trust, all others pay cash”, they have succeeded in paying off all the politicians that would accept payment. When Obama said he would call for the labeling of GMOs when he ran for President in 2008, he was paid off handsomely. Would there be any other reason Obama would appoint former Monsanto executives and hookers to key positions in US government agencies? Oh yeah, any company that dared label their milk products rBGH-free, got sued up the yin-yang.

So, now we have poison manufacturers saying they are farmers. To a degree that is true if you consider extracting crops (cash) from the never ending supply of land (pockets) agriculture.

It’s not enough to make fortunes from weapons, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and plastics, now it is complete control of the agri-food business. Does world domination ring a bell in anyone’s mind? Because of the payoffs, there is virtually no independent testing or research done as to the safety of their horrors. To add insult to injury, if a real farmer who buys their seeds attempts to save seeds for the next crop he is sued and screwed until he is black and blue.

Originally the herbicides and pesticides were to make the crops impervious to weeds and ukus (Hawaiian for bugs). Guess what? The herbicides and pesticides created super weeds and ukus resistant to the chemicals. So they did what any upstanding, people caring corporation would do – they increased the amount of poison sprayed on the crops.

The biotech industry says that their crops are safe. If so, why are they adamantly opposed to labeling GMO foods? One would think people would fight tooth and nail to buy them.

Interestingly enough, I received an email to a link that blew my mind. Dr.Oz, of all people, did a piece against GMOs. Please take a look by clicking on the link.

Bear in mind that if the government is of, for, and by the PEOPLE, and there’s more of us than them, this is not the time to remain passive.

Aloha!

When I was a kid, if I were told that I'd be writing a book about diet and nutrition when I was older, let alone having been doing a health related radio show for over 36 years, I would've thought that whoever told me that was out of their mind. Living in Newark, New Jersey, my parents and I consumed anything and everything that had a face or a mother except for dead, rotting, pig bodies, although we did eat bacon (as if all the other decomposing flesh bodies were somehow miraculously clean). Going through high school and college it was no different. In fact, my dietary change did not come until I was in my 30's.

Just to put things in perspective, after I graduated from Weequahic High School and before going to Seton Hall University, I had a part-time job working for a butcher. I was the delivery guy and occasionally had to go to the slaughterhouse to pick up products for the store. Needless to say, I had no consciousness nor awareness, as change never came then despite the horrors I witnessed on an almost daily basis.

After graduating with a degree in accounting from Seton Hall, I eventually got married and moved to a town called Livingston. Livingston was basically a yuppie community where everyone was judged by the neighborhood they lived in and their income. To say it was a "plastic" community would be an understatement.

Livingston and the shallowness finally got to me. I told my wife I was fed up and wanted to move. She made it clear she had to be near her friends and New York City. I finally got my act together and split for Colorado.

I was living with a lady in Aspen at the end of 1974, when one day she said, " let's become vegetarians". I have no idea what possessed me to say it, but I said, "okay"! At that point I went to the freezer and took out about $100 worth of frozen, dead body parts and gave them to a welfare mother who lived behind us. Well, everything was great for about a week or so, and then the chick split with another guy.

So here I was, a vegetarian for a couple weeks, not really knowing what to do, how to cook, or basically how to prepare anything. For about a month, I was getting by on carrot sticks, celery sticks, and yogurt. Fortunately, when I went vegan in 1990, it was a simple and natural progression. Anyway, as I walked around Aspen town, I noticed a little vegetarian restaurant called, "The Little Kitchen".

Let me back up just a little bit. It was April of 1975, the snow was melting and the runoff of Ajax Mountain filled the streets full of knee-deep mud. Now, Aspen was great to ski in, but was a bummer to walk in when the snow was melting.

I was ready to call it quits and I needed a warmer place. I'll elaborate on that in a minute.

But right now, back to "The Little Kitchen". Knowing that I was going to leave Aspen and basically a new vegetarian, I needed help. So, I cruised into the restaurant and told them my plight and asked them if they would teach me how to cook. I told them in return I would wash dishes and empty their trash. They then asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was an accountant.

The owner said to me, "Let's make a deal. You do our tax return and we'll feed you as well". So for the next couple of weeks I was doing their tax return, washing their dishes, emptying the trash, and learning as much as I could.

But, like I said, the mud was getting to me. So I picked up a travel book written by a guy named Foder. The name of the book was, "Hawaii". Looking through the book I noticed that in Lahaina, on Maui, there was a little vegetarian restaurant called," Mr. Natural's". I decided right then and there that I would go to Lahaina and work at "Mr. Natural's." To make a long story short, that's exactly what happened.

So, I'm working at "Mr. Natural's" and learning everything I can about my new dietary lifestyle - it was great. Every afternoon we would close for lunch at about 1 PM and go to the Sheraton Hotel in Ka'anapali and play volleyball, while somebody stayed behind to prepare dinner.

Since I was the new guy, and didn't really know how to cook, I never thought that I would be asked to stay behind to cook dinner. Well, one afternoon, that's exactly what happened; it was my turn. That posed a problem for me because I was at the point where I finally knew how to boil water.

I was desperate, clueless and basically up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine sitting in the gazebo at the restaurant and I asked him if he knew how to cook. He said the only thing he knew how to cook was enchiladas. He said that his enchiladas were bean-less and dairy-less. I told him that I had no idea what an enchilada was or what he was talking about, but I needed him to show me because it was my turn to do the evening meal.

Well, the guys came back from playing volleyball and I'm asked what was for dinner. I told them enchiladas; the owner wasn't thrilled. I told him that mine were bean-less and dairy-less. When he tried the enchilada he said it was incredible. Being the humble guy that I was, I smiled and said, "You expected anything less"? It apparently was so good that it was the only item on the menu that we served twice a week. In fact, after about a week, we were selling five dozen every night we had them on the menu and people would walk around Lahaina broadcasting, 'enchilada's at "Natural's" tonight'. I never had to cook anything else.

A year later the restaurant closed, and somehow I gravitated to a little health food store in Wailuku. I never told anyone I was an accountant and basically relegated myself to being the truck driver. The guys who were running the health food store had friends in similar businesses and farms on many of the islands. I told them that if they could organize and form one company they could probably lock in the State. That's when they found out I was an accountant and "Down to Earth" was born. "Down to Earth" became the largest natural food store chain in the islands, and I was their Chief Financial Officer and co-manager of their biggest store for 13 years.

In 1981, I started to do a weekly radio show to try and expose people to a vegetarian diet and get them away from killing innocent creatures. I still do that show today. I pay for my own airtime and have no sponsors to not compromise my honesty. One bit of a hassle was the fact that I was forced to get a Masters Degree in Nutrition to shut up all the MD's that would call in asking for my credentials.

My doing this radio show enabled me, through endless research, to see the corruption that existed within the big food industries, the big pharmaceutical companies, the biotech industries and the government agencies. This information, unconscionable as it is, enabled me to realize how broken our health system is. This will be covered more in depth in the Introduction and throughout the book and when you finish the book you will see this clearly and it will hopefully inspire you to make changes.

I left Down to Earth in 1989, got nationally certified as a sports injury massage therapist and started traveling the world with a bunch of guys that were making a martial arts movie. After doing that for about four years I finally made it back to Honolulu and got a job as a massage therapist at the Honolulu Club, one of Hawaii's premier fitness clubs. It was there I met the love of my life who I have been with since 1998. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse. She said," If you want to be with me you've got to stop working on naked women". So, I went back into accounting and was the Chief Financial Officer of a large construction company for many years.

Going back to my Newark days when I was an infant, I had no idea what a "chicken" or "egg" or "fish" or "pig" or "cow" was. My dietary blueprint was thrust upon me by my parents as theirs was thrust upon them by their parents. It was by the grace of God that I was able to put things in their proper perspective and improve my health and elevate my consciousness.

The road that I started walking down in 1975 has finally led me to the point of writing my book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”. Hopefully, the information contained herein will be enlightening, motivating, and inspiring to encourage you to make different choices. Doing what we do out of conditioning is not always the best course to follow. I am hoping that by the grace of the many friends and personalities I have encountered along my path, you will have a better perspective of what road is the best road for you to travel on, not only for your health but your consciousness as well.

Last but not least: after being vaccinated as a kid I developed asthma, which plagued me all of my life. In 2007 I got exposed to the organic sulfur crystals, which got rid of my asthma in 3 days and has not come back in over 10 years. That, being the tip of the iceberg, has helped people reverse stage 4 cancers, autism, joint pain, blood pressure problems, migraine headaches, erectile dysfunction, gingivitis, and more. Also, because of the detoxification effects by the release of oxygen that permeates and heals all the cells in the body, it removes parasites, radiation, fluoride, free radicals, and all the other crap that is thrust upon us in the environment by Big Business.
