Ignorance Is Not Bliss

Greenpeace reports statistics showing 88% of Canadians want labelled food choices to indicate which foods are genetically modified. Why hasn’t that happened?

Many people say they cannot afford organic foods, but once aware of the increasing health problems now linked to genetically modified food and human gene interference, more people are deciding they cannot afford not to go organic. After 10 years of GMO foods in our markets, time is revealing our trust was misplaced in accepting research of only one company, the creator company, regarding the safety of eating genetically modified foods.

This subject is increasingly demanding attention as the global increase of previously unknown human infections is quietly researched and increasingly linked to a gene transfer from genetically modified foods to the humans eating the food.

There are of course, other possibilities, such as ‘spills’ or release of chemicals that made their way into circulation, eventually to humans. But, evidence is mounting that the problem may simply be transference from the GMO foods we are eating. As sci-fi as it sounds, this growing occurrence of previously unseen infection is not recognized in any lab as a natural human pathogen or parasite.  It is instead, linked to man-made or xenobacteria as a transfer medium and common environmental species of fungi that very rarely, until recently, have been found in humans. Analysis of infected people regardless of where they’re from, show symptom similarities.

This has finally acquired the attention of a variety of doctors, from family physicians to toxicologists and scientists, some infected with it. As of 2008, the USA Center for Disease Control began a study of this occurrence due to early scientific data supplied and because of increasing reports of unusual infection with symptom similarities among those infected, even from diverse regions. Conventional medical treatment for this is currently non-existent as it is unrecognized in medical texts.  Despite physical evidence, it’s more often denied analysis and categorized by conventional doctors as ‘delusional’, much like fibromyalgia was a mere decade ago.

Is it time we demanded more from our political system for labelled food choices? Greenpeace reports statistics showing 88% of Canadians want labelled food choices to indicate which are genetically modified. Why hasn’t that happened? Are Non-GMO food choices no longer available in mainstream grocery locations?

It has been explained that an agrobacterium common in soil was the medium scientists selected to act as a gene transfer agent from one plant species to another. It soon was used as the medium for gene transfer into foods from one species to another species, for enhanced appearance and bigger yields.  Nutrient content is apparently coming up short in these plump and pretty GMO foods, but how many people question that? Agrobacterium is now being studied as the same medium that may also let it transfer into human genes after ingestion, with infection resulting once an environmental trigger activates it, possibly more contactable in those with challenged immune systems. We were reassured by those creating and marketing GMO foods, that they were perfectly safe for humans, but after 10 years of using them for the masses, these unusual human infections increasingly are reported. It is said to be changing the inner human metabolism to now be receptive to common environmental fungi and bacterial infection. And no, a new vaccine is not the answer to accept.

I encourage you to do your own research, to sign petitions for mandatory labelling of genetically modified organisms (GMO) food and to use your voting power against the acceptance of food that does not tell the consumer how it was grown and what modifications or mutations were performed on it.  Every individual effort is important. Our greatest strength is our initiative to investigate, to ask, to increase our awareness of ramifications, and, to demand options.

You can help by printing the GMO Petition.  The petition includes a summary on the importance of this topic and a sample page for collection of signatures.  Leave copies at your local health food stores and organic stores for signatures, collect them and mail to your local government parties as well as a regional environmental group, like Greenpeace, who is already working on this project. ‘We the people’, as a group, can be the change.  Be part of it.

A GMO Food Guide is often available at gmoguide.greenpeace.ca or by doing a search on a gmoguide.
