1. Pharmaceutical cartel plotting to crush the
sale of dietary supplements worldwide. CODEX Alimentarius back
door strategy with the US participation in CAFTA and other world
trade organizations is eroding our freedom to choose holistic
healh care. CAFTA is already the law of the land as of Aug. 2005.
If consumers don’t
wake up and speak out soon, it will be too late as it is in most
of Europe & Canada.The Crusador
2. Green tea ingredient proven to cure cancer. Researchers have
found that an antioxidant in green tea known as EGC can latch
on to a protein called laminin receptor located in tumor cells
and stymie their growth. Lung cancer cells significantly slowed
their reproduction after taking the equivalent of just two cups.

3. Cats are not meant to be vegetarian. Unlike dogs, cats must
have a mostly meat diet. Cats must have an amino acid called
taurine. Without it they may become extremely ill. Energy Times

4. Around 1990, marine scientist John Martin said “Give
me half a ship load of iron and I will give you an ice age.” Experiments
showed that iron-poor waters do in fact bloom with algae when
enriched with iron. The other part of this hypothesis was that
it causes carbon dioxide to be drawn from the atmosphere into
the enriched environment. The jury is still out on the latter.

5. With all the cloak and dagger of the Bush
administration’ “Terrorism
Information Awareness” gathering gigabytes of data on private
citizens, a citizen is striking back. In 2003, MIT grad student
Ryan McKinley decided to post his own site called Government
Information Awareness. (www.opengov.us) When I attempted to access
the site, I encountered a message that access was forbidden.
The site is only open to the MIT Media Laboratory & needs
a pass word. Oh well as we all know, the government won’t
really allow us this kind of one site tells all freedom. Keep
on blogging! Discovery Magazine
6. The banks prefer that you use debit cards rather than checks
or credit cards for several reasons. Federal laws protecting
lost or stolen debit cards fall under the Electronic Funds Transfer
Act and the swiftness of your response dictates the amount of
the liability. If you fail to report the loss within two business
days you could be liable for up to $500. If you fail to report
the loss within 60 days, oh well, you’re cleaned out! (Editor
note: Checks are subject to stop payments and fraud procedures.
Banks are fully liable.) The Erickson Tribune 07/05
7. Scientist now concur that the earth’s magnetic poles
periodically shift. Today the most of the magnetic flux is directed
out from the core in the Southern Hemisphere and inward in the
Northern Hemisphere, but in a few odd regions, the opposite is
true. These so-called reversed flux patches proliferated and
grew between 1990 and present. If they were to engulf both poles,
a polarity reversal could ensue.. Scientific American 4/05
