What Exactly IS Medicine Anyway?

Well the US Food and Drug Administration has a test and rating. Its called LD50.

Its the very first test any substance submitted to the FDA must pass. It simply means the dosage that will kill 50% of the lab animals it is given to. If a substance isn’t toxic enough to kill 50% of the animals (hence the Lethal Dose, 50% or LD50 rating) then it cannot, under any circumstance be deemed a medicine or a drug.

Please allow me to shorten this information to a profound statement of fact:

If a substance doesn't kill, It is considered to be a food, not a medicine!

Now you know why so many people are killed each year by “medicine”.

I mean truly, why in the world would you insist on say, buying organic food, or using cosmetics or shampoo not tested on animals,  if you still ingest these other chemicals we have the FDA label as medicine? You may as well be sipping pesticide with your meal. And doesn't that knowledge also just make you feel all warm and fuzzy for the lab animals? Do consider these facts when you fill your prescription or even grab a bottle of Tylenol for your headache.

Please at least stop thinking like sheep, even if you do pop a Tylenol! It and other drugs are simply not as harmless as we have been led by big pharma to believe. These substances, even over-the-counter preparations, alter your body chemistry in most profound way.

Humans and animals too, deserve a more evolved view of health and well-being than this.

The Most Frightening News of 2009. By Far.

Terrorists? Stock Market Crash? No. Something far more frightening.

House Bill 875 was introduced February 2009 by a Democrat from Connecticut.

This one literally has me shaking in my boots. What is happening to our country?

Another measure designed to allow the federal government to "protect" us and has the warm and fuzzy label of  "Food Safety Modernization Bill"

Similar in scope to the NAIS (National Animal Identification System) another attack on our freedoms is well under way and supported by our new president. Get ready to report every single seed you plant in your backyard garden. Get ready to watch your local or organic farmer get squeezed even harder by Monsanto.

It is not just the drastic regulatory language that scares me. It is that it represents agribusinesses next step on the path to world food domination. (emphasis mine) and though that sounds like an over exaggeration, it is not.

Companies like Monsanto have already invaded our food and seed supply. They have successfully obtained patents for GMO seeds and have cornered the market on seed sales. They have sued farmers for harvesting and using seeds from their own corn because it was accidentally cross-pollinated with their varieties. And now they are trying to push through legislation, via Rep. Rosa DeLauro, whose husband works for Monsanto. (emphasis mine)

Its really not a big deal  I guess, unless you happen to enjoy eating food. (Oh and there is that pesky freedom thing too)
