\r\nGMO\r\nDISEASE EPIDEMICS:
\r\n<\/span><\/span>
\r\n(9)   \r\nChronic Fatigue and Myalgia
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nI. \r\nThe Face of Frankenstein's Monster<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGenetic\r\nEngineering Biotechnology (GE, GM, GMOs) evades Evolution's safeguards\r\nby injecting genes of one species into a totally unrelated species,\r\nsomething impossible in Nature.
\r\n
\r\nGM evades Evolution's safeguards, and may therefore give rise to PATHOGENS<\/span> that can\r\n-- and HAVE, many times --  caused crippling and deadly\r\nDISEASE EPIDEMICS <\/span>-- documented but unpublicised.
\r\n
\r\nGenetic Engineering is also ideal for developing horrific biological\r\nand other military weapons --- sufficient cause to OUTLAW GM<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nThe Greatest Racket in History (Listen to this !): ---
\r\n
\r\nGM contamination is virulent, spread by wind, bird, insect, animals and\r\ntravelling  human beings.  Co-Existence with GM is\r\ncompletely impossible, only fools or liars would say differently.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGM\r\nhas contaminated  crops in areas of North America which dwarf\r\nthe UK\r\nand even Western Europe.   Planetary contamination is\r\ninevitable, if We\r\ndon't stop it.
\r\n
\r\nThe Biotechnology corporations know oh-so-well how contamination\r\nspreads and spreads and spreads.
\r\n
\r\nNow\r\nget this:   Through their political influence, these\r\nCorporations have\r\nbeen able to acquire the obscene, sacrilegious, and indeed revolutionary \r\nPATENTS on LIFE-FORMS<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nBefore\r\nthese revolutionary Patents on Life,  a farmer could have sued\r\n--\r\nsuccessfully without any doubt -- the Biotechnology corporation for\r\nhaving contaminated, poisoned his crops.
\r\n
\r\nHowever, given these Patents on Life (here, on the seeds<\/span>), the\r\nCorporation can -- and DOES, successfully -- sue the\r\nvictimised farmer for (Hold your nose) \"infringement of patent\".<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n[Our tainted, corrupted\r\npolitical systems allow this monstrosity.]<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThus the formula the reader might keep in mind:
\r\nGM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms  equals Corporate\r\nOwnership Rights in the crops of victimised farmers.
\r\n
\r\nThis formula spells the\r\nserfdom and ruin of all small family farmers on this planet.<\/span> \r\n(They are the majority of the population in Asia, Africa, and Latin\r\nAmerica).
\r\n
\r\nThe\r\nChemical-Drug-Biotechnology syndicate and its Enforcers <\/span>(corrupted\r\ngovernments in the West and Third World, corporation-dominated\r\norganisations like the WTO, World Bank, IMF) have started a WORLDWIDE\r\nAGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION.<\/span> <\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThey want to destroy small family farming, and have only gigantic\r\nCorporate GM Plantations with farmers working as serfs.
\r\n 
\r\n[This\r\nprocess is underway, especially in South America where the U.S.\r\nMilitary has begun to intervene on behalf of GM Plantations to crush\r\nfarmer opposition.]
\r\n
\r\nAlready, according to the Research Foundation for Science, Technology\r\nand Ecology (RFSTE) in New Delhi,  40,000\r\nfarmers in India have committed suicide<\/span>\r\nprimarily as a result of the Corporate Enforcers' so-called \"free\r\ntrade\" policies --- dumping heavily-subsidised Western farm produce\r\nonto glutted Indian markets, pushing GM crops, insisting that Patents\r\non Life-Forms be accepted so farmers must sign contracts with GM\r\nCorporations and can no longer save seeds, etc.
\r\n
\r\nThe Greatest\r\nRacket in History --- GM Contamination + Patents on Life-Forms equals\r\nCorporate Proprietary Rights in the crops of victimised farmers, and\r\nspells the serdom and ruin of small family farmers everywhere on this\r\nplanet.
\r\n
\r\nWe\r\nMUST OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on LIFE-FORMS -- or else !! <\/span>\r\n
\r\n(e.g. No more organic, healthy food --- you and your children will only\r\nbe able to eat unsafe GM) 
\r\n
\r\nSee the Action Plan in Part III designed to OUTLAW GM and PATENTS on\r\nLIFE-FORMS. 
\r\nBut beforehand, read the next in our series of \"GMO Disease\r\nEpidemics\".

\r\nII.<\/span>  Genetic\r\nEngineering and the mysterious Chronic Fatigue and Myalgia\r\nepidemics <\/span> 
\r\n
\r\nIn\r\nthe past 20 years there has been an explosion of people suffering from\r\nChronic Fatigue, often accompanied by myalgia (muscle pain), and not so\r\ninfrequently amidst a strange syndrome of multi-organ diseases\r\n(M.E.\/CFS).
\r\n[CFS -- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; M.E. -- Myalgia Encephalomyelitis]
\r\n<\/span><\/span>
\r\nIn the United\r\nStates, there are currently  some 500,000 cases (a <\/span>very<\/span> conservative estimate, it\r\nmay be double or triple that figure) of <\/span>M.E.\/CFS<\/span>, and  the U.S.\r\nNational Ambulatory Medical Care Survey appears to believe that many millions<\/span>,\r\nperhaps<\/span> tens of\r\nmillions<\/span>\r\n<\/span>of\r\nchronic fatigue and chronic myalgia cases exist in the U.S. and Canada.<\/span>  <\/span>
\r\n 
\r\n[www.nutramed.com; www.alphanutrition.com\/fatigue\/index.htm]<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nIn\r\nthe United Kingdom there are over 250,000 cases of\r\nM.E.\/CFS.   And the\r\nincidence of Chronic Fatigue would presumably be much, much higher.
\r\n
\r\nChronic Fatigue and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seem now to <\/span>be an international phenomenon<\/span>\r\n(like, for example, GM0s in food and medicine), especially prevalent\r\nthroughout Europe.
\r\n
\r\n[\"Statistics by Country for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\",\r\nWrongDiagnosis.com, June 13, 2006]
\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\r\nChronic Fatigue may be defined as overwhelming fatigue, prolonged and\r\nrecurring, lasting over 6 months.
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nM.E.\/Chronic Fatigue\r\nSyndrome is considered to be a Mystery disease with no known cause.<\/span> \r\nAnd, generally, the causes of Chronic Fatigue are also thought to be\r\nmysterious.
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>[The\r\nattempt, unfortunately often successful, to re-classify obviously\r\norganic, often neurological diseases as \"psychological\" and\r\n\"psychosomatic\", is the result of the most unscrupulous politics and\r\nthe apparent power of the Drug Industry to promote obliging\r\npsychiatrists -- certainly not the result of sane medicine.]
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/span>But I believe, on the\r\nevidence, that the\r\nmajor cause of this epidemic in the past two decades<\/span> is\r\nreadily apparent.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The\r\ndevastating, crippling power of Genetic Engineering should be\r\ncomprehended as a prelude to appreciating its role in Chronic Fatigue\r\nand ME\/CFS causation.
\r\n
\r\nGenetic\r\nengineering is revolutionising food and crops, revolutionising drugs\r\nand vaccines, revolutionising military weaponry.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n Thus, no\r\ndamaging and mysterious malady should be analysed without duly\r\nconsidering a possible GM connection<\/span>.  To wit,
\r\n
\r\nVictims of GM\r\nTryptophan<\/span> frequently reported their suffering from chronic fatigue and\r\nchronic muscle\/ joint pain<\/span> (EMS, Eosinophilia MYALGIA\r\nSyndrome). 
\r\nThis new and incurable genetically-engineered disease was initially\r\ndiagnosed by many doctors as\r\nChronic Fatigue Syndrome<\/span>.
\r\n
\r\nSimilar reports came from victims\r\nof GM insulin<\/span>  -- extreme fatigue and myalgia.
\r\n     [Insulin Dependent Diabetes\r\nTrust, UK)
\r\n
\r\nMany victims of GM\r\nhepatitis B vaccine reported suffering from chronic fatigue and myalgia.<\/span>

\r\nGulf War Syndrome<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThere\r\nwere 250,000 victims of serious disease among American military\r\npersonnel (and British) during the first Persian Gulf War. \r\nOver 10,000\r\nof them have died.
\r\n
\r\nProminent symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome were nervous system disorders, CHRONIC\r\nFATIGUE and MUSCLE PAIN, <\/span>individually or together arising\r\namidst a melange of other symptoms (Chronic\r\nFatigue Syndrome)<\/span>--- classic GM stuff as per the GM\r\nTryptophan model, see above.
\r\n
\r\nDespite an enormous U.S. Government cover-up, it has become clear that\r\ngenetically-engineered germ warfare agents and genetically-engineered\r\nvaccines<\/span> were major sources of this terrible syndrome of\r\ndiseases.

\r\n
\r\n<\/span>[Aspartame\r\nis found in 6,000 products and reaches\r\n70% of the U.S. population.<\/span> \r\nThe U.S. National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey's staggering estimate\r\nof the incidence of chronic fatigue and myalgia  may not be\r\nexaggerated.]<\/span> <\/span>
\r\n
\r\n[And\r\nAspartame must reach many hundreds of millions of people worldwide,\r\nperhaps helping to make Chronic Fatigue an international phenomenon,\r\nespecially in Europe.]

\r\n
\r\n95%\r\nof GM-produced Fiber Disease victims (see no. 10 in this GMO Disease\r\nEpidemics series) have been simultaneously afflicted with Chronic\r\nFatigue,  and many of them have the full Chronic Fatigue\r\nSyndrome.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAnd\r\nof course, the United States has seen this enormous epidemic of Chronic\r\nFatigue and Myalgia arise during the very period that genetically\r\nengineered food has pervaded the American food supply.<\/span>
\r\n

\r\n
\r\n<\/span>GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED\r\nFOOD\/MEDICINE\/PRODUCTS are  PRINCIPAL CAUSES of the Chronic\r\nFatigue and\r\nM.E.\/CFS epidemics during the past two decades of skyrocketing increase.<\/span>
\r\n

\r\nIII.  Conclusion\r\nand What To Do<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>Human beings and Nature, as we have known them, cannot\r\nsurvive in a GMO-Frankenstein world.  
\r\n
\r\nThe nightmare technology of Genetic Engineering Biotechnology, and its\r\nincestuous Patents on Life-Forms, must be OUTLAWED.
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\r\nHow To Do It<\/span>?
\r\n
\r\nThere is only one way to overcome this extremely powerful, \r\nruthless Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis.
\r\n<\/span>
\r\nIt\r\nis to conduct grassroots Public Education Campaigns to educate and\r\npolitically activate the General Public, university \/ college students\r\nin particular.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nThe General\r\nPublic<\/span>\r\n!!   Stop forever talking to the Converted. \r\nTo get around the\r\ncorporate media's suppression and distortion of truth,  one\r\nmust talk<\/span>\r\nto people and go\r\ndoor-to-door with leaflets and vocal messages. <\/span>
\r\nAnd major efforts must be made to inform and activate <\/span>university students.<\/span><\/span>
\r\n
\r\nImportant Hints: 
\r\n
\r\n(1)   Concentrate on  university students<\/span>. \r\n
\r\n
\r\n And  senior\r\ncitizens.<\/span>
\r\n   
\r\nI\r\nspeak to you now, elder citizens like\r\nmyself.    Put moral purpose into\r\nyour lives and help rescue this planet and your grandchildren.
\r\n
\r\n(2)   AVOID\r\nNGOs and all established organisations, especially large ones.<\/span> \r\nThey are not what they seem.
\r\n
\r\nTheir hierarchies and decision-making are corporation-influenced if not\r\noutright purchased.
\r\n
\r\nNever ever join\r\nthem.  Never ever give them Money. <\/span> \r\n
\r\n
\r\n  [see George Monbiot's very important article in The Guardian,  <\/span>4\r\nSeptember 2001, \"Sleeping\r\nwith the Enemy:  Consumer and Environmental Groups are Getting\r\ninto Bed with Big Corporations<\/span>]
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n[Note: In\r\ndeveloping countries there are some exceptions, but very very very few\r\nin the West. If by a miracle one of them ever conducts a genuine and\r\nsensible public education campaign, then you can help ou<\/span>t. \r\nBut NEVER<\/span>\r\njoin or give money to them.]
\r\n
\r\nThe environmental field especially is riddled with<\/span><\/span> wealthy, prestigious, deceptive<\/span>\r\norganisations adept at dilutng and derailing environmental\r\ncauses,  GM in particular. 
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n[I am thinking at this moment of one such organisation I have observed\r\nover a long period of time, in my view a very slick and dangerous FOE<\/span>\r\nof environmentalism, originally created by polluting Corporations to\r\ndeal with the growing environmental movement.
\r\nDon't go anywhere\r\nnear this one.]<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nWhen they talk about being 'practical' and seeking 'Coexistence'<\/span>\r\nwith GM,  let a red\r\nflag<\/span> go up.
\r\n
\r\nNothing short of OUTLAWING GENETIC ENGINEERING and PATENTS ON\r\nLIFE-FORMS will save us and our planet.
\r\n
\r\nDo your educational work\r\nas individuals or in small groups of people you know.<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nIn a little of your\r\nSPARETIME (perhaps 3 or 4 hours a week, but regularly, as part of an\r\nethical life-style):<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nEducate and activate\r\nthe Public by writing and telephoning and just talking to your family\r\nmembers, friends and acquantances; 
\r\n
\r\nWrite letters and make telephone calls to local, regional and national\r\nmedia<\/span>; 
\r\n
\r\nWrite, call and especially visit your legislative representatives and\r\nother government personnel,  and
\r\n
\r\nTake appropriate Direct\r\nAction<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\r\n<\/span>
\r\n
\r\nGood Luck to You.
