Toxin from GM crops found in human blood: StudyFresh doubts have arisen about the safety of genetically modified crops, with a new study reporting presence of Bt toxin, used widely in GM crops, in human blood for the first time. Genetically modified crops include genes extracted from bacteria to make them resistant to pest attacks. These genes make crops toxic to pests but are claimed to pose no danger to the environment and human health. Genetically modified brinjal, whose commercial release was stopped a year ago, has a toxin derived from a soil bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt). Till now, scientists and multinational corporations promoting GM crops have maintained that Bt toxin poses no danger to human health as the protein breaks down in the human gut. But the presence of this toxin in human blood shows that this does not happen. Scientists from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, have detected the insecticidal protein, Cry1Ab, circulating in the blood of pregnant as well as non-pregnant women. They have also detected the toxin in fetal blood, implying it could pass on to the next generation. The research paper has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in the journal Reproductive Toxicology. The study covered 30 pregnant women and 39 women who had come for tubectomy at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS) in Quebec. None of them had worked or lived with a spouse working in contact with pesticides. They were all consuming typical Canadian diet that included GM foods such as soybeans, corn and potatoes. Blood samples were taken before delivery for pregnant women and at tubal ligation for non-pregnant women. Umbilical cord blood sampling was done after birth. Cry1Ab toxin was detected in 93 per cent and 80 per cent of maternal and fetal blood samples, respectively and in 69 per cent of tested blood samples from non-pregnant women. Earlier studies had found trace amounts of the Cry1Ab toxin in gastrointestinal contents of livestock fed on GM corn. This gave rise to fears that the toxins may not be effectively eliminated in humans and there may be a high risk of exposure through consumption of contaminated meat. "Generated data will help regulatory agencies responsible for the protection of human health to make better decisions", noted researchers Aziz Aris and Samuel Leblanc. Given the potential toxicity of these environmental pollutants and the fragility of the foetus, more studies are needed, particularly those using the placental transfer approach, they added Experts have warned of serious implications for India. Cottonseed oil is made from seeds of genetically modified cotton and thus Bt toxin may have already entered the food chain in India. "Indian regulators should be immediately called for detailed toxicological studies to know the extent of contamination of the human blood with Bt toxins coming from cottonseed oil, and also ascertain its long term health impacts," Sharma said indiatoday.intoday.in/site/story/....d/1/137728.html

Arrived in the post this morning;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Australian Government Department of Health andAgeing
Dear Ms Penkethman
Thank you for your coffespondence of 28 April 2011 to the Minister for Health and Ageing, the Hon Nicola Roxon MP, regarding "Morgellons" disease. The Minister has asked me to reply on her behalf.
"Morgellons" disease, also known as "unexplained dermopathy''is a controversial medical condition, described as a multiple-symptom syrdrome, characterised by skin lesions, unusual skin sensations and fatigue. The cause is not known, there is no evidence that the condition is transmissible from person to person, no diagnostic criteria have been established and "Morgellons" is yet to be an accepted medical condition.
Persons who believe they may suffer from this medical condition should contact a healthcare provider for evaluation and medical care.
As you may be aware, the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention is currently investigating this unexplained and debilitating condition and has recently completed a data analysis. A final report has been submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The Office of Health Protection will consider the findings of this report when available.
Thank you for bringing this important matter to my attention.
Yours sincerely
Assistant Secretary Communicable Disease and Surveillance Branch Office of Health Protection
24 May 2011
GPO Box 984B Canberra ACT 2601 Telephone: (02) 6289 1555 Fax: (02) 6289 2500

I really admire your stamina, Sarah.
And what a display of lack of integrity on the part of all those states and authorities that are sitting on the fence waiting for the (US) CDC.

I really admire your stamina, Sarah. And what a display of lack of integrity on the part of all those states and authorities that are sitting on the fence waiting for the (US) CDC. Brim Thanks Brim, many have often said to me over the years that I have a very good constitution. My fight with this disease I see as a discipline I have had to employ. The people have a right to know what their government is NOT doing for them; leaving the medical community completely in the dark & allowing further medical fraud to escalate, all to the cost of our health & our children's health. You may notice the letter said "Data Analysis' rather than study, interesting. What is Data Analysiswww.wisegeek.com/what-is-data-analysis.htmWhen people encounter summarized data and conclusions, they should view them critically. Asking where the data is from is important, as is asking about the sampling method used to collect the data, and the size of the sample. If the source of the data appears to have a conflict of interest with the type of data being gathered, this can call the results into question. Likewise, data gathered from a small sample or a sample which is not truly random may be of questionable utility. Reputable researchers will always provide information about the data gathering techniques used, the source of funding, and the point of the data collection in the beginning of the analysis so that readers can think about this information while they review the analysis. Who is the Office of Health Protection & What do they do?www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/ohp-about.htmThe Office of Health Protection’s (OHP) mission is to protect the health of the Australian community through prevention, detection and effective response to national health emergencies, communicable disease outbreaks, chemical and biological risks and natural disasters operating within a Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery framework. OHP's goal is to manage, prevent and respond to health risks and incidents faced by the Australian population. Who is asleep at the wheel? sarah.

13 June 2011 The mystery of MorgellonsMorgellons is the name given to a mysterious disease where patients experience alien fibres protruding from their skin. The mystery of the disease is matched only by the controversy surrounding it. The transcript of this program will be available by late afternoon on the Tuesday following Monday's broadcast. When Monday is a public holiday in NSW, the transcript will not appear until late Wednesday. www.abc.net.au/rn/healthreport/stories/2011/3239721.htm

Mayo Clinic Concludes Morgellons Symptoms Are Often Delusional [man, did they get this wrong!]careman.net/healing/mayo-clinic-concludes-morgellons-symptoms-are-often-delusional-man-did-they-get-this-wrong-2/In nearly 5 years of speaking with thousands of Morgellons sufferers, I find it impossible that these people, who have never met, could share the same delusional symptoms. These Morgellons sufferers are from every continent on earth and all seem to share the same ‘delusions?’ I don’t think so. And explain how a newborn can have lesions having just arrived from a water environment? Is this baby also delusional?

Hi Sarah, I think they dont want to unravel morgellons because they know that it deeply gets tangled up with their cancer research. Major money could be lost from those in power. This disease links up well with cancer in the blood, and lungs. In order to tackle them completely they would have to fess up to the fact they dont have the answers. My daughter had lung cancer, but she also had unknown webs in her lungs. I tried to get her to address the issues, but she didn't want to have morgellons. With certain new test from mayo clinic, she had terrible skin reactions huge blisters and bio-film when they popped. She developed horrible asthma four months before the end. At the end her lungs were bleeding like if she had TB. Morgellons could be on many peoples plate that have cancer. Just thinking....Anyway I was discouraged with the their lies. :-

Its been hectic this summer nothing but bills and more bills. The septic, heater, well, oh yea when it rains it pours.
The bio film makes me so angry, it ozzes everywhere as it pleases. I hate mornings now because I have to clean it immediatly because its the spreader of morgies.(I think) Been pretty tired lately but I have been encouraged because I'm looking forward to being creative. Thats a switch from licking my sores like a dog. I hope you have a good winter and you get out lots. I'm so glad you moved. I hope your energy stays up. love amron

Hi amron, we haven't moved yet 2 weeks to go. The house is still making us very sick. Everything seems to be going wrong right now, but that's how it's been with this from the start.
There will be some media on Lyme Disease in AU on Monday night a show called George Negus at 6.30pm on Channel 10. I don't have any links as yet. The upcoming Lyme story is being advertised on the TV over the weekend.
Here's to better days ahead...
Love - sarah xo

Im smiling to read this thread , yet crying at the same time, cause im suffering bad right now . Im 37, have a family and have been doin "this" crazy world of morgellons for 5 years. Im exhausted from trying, researching, writing emails, ordering products, seeing doctors etc etc. Yet,.what makes me want to crawl in a hole and die, is that i know in my core, that those higher on the gridline, will continue to ignore for many years to come.. The financial gain our country has reaped from this is too huge to acknowledge this. Also on its side is that ,"this" has many attributes on its side to allow them to continue. . Its camouflaged in our bodies, referred/named to under morgellons, "a physiological disease." Lastly, has so many different symtoms, visits cost money, and only doctors permitted to help are natural healing. All mostly out of pocket. Anyone please help me get out of this gutter of " no hope" thoughts.
