I have to admit, I'm really sick of this but not sick from it, yet. I have a difficult time grocery shopping because standing in the store I see all of the food as poison. All of it. Organically grown vegetables have been shown to contain substantial amounts of Bovine Growth Hormone and animal antibiotics from the manure and water used on them. There are trace amounts of human pharmaceuticals from the water also. Potato's and Apples are known to retain high counts of pesticides. I won't buy processed food, microwaveable food, sodas, candy, white bread, white sugar, salt, corn, corn oils, products made with corn, soy, soy products, ice cream, and MANY other products. My choices are slim when I shop and it's terribly frustrating. This article proves my premise that there's no need for a food shortage caused by the elite, they're already poisoning us from birth while they can afford to eat unadulterated food, if they can find any. They need to get us to eat more so they develop new fancy products every day that can be prepared easily by the harried housewife. Except it's all processed chemicals and no real food.

Capitalism seeks profit at the expense of humanity.

(NaturalNews) Gastroschisis is a birth defect in which the intestines, and sometimes other organs, develop outside the fetal abdomen and poke out through an opening in the abdominal wall. Long considered a rare occurrence, gastroschisis has mysteriously been on the rise over the last three decades. In fact, the incidence of the defect has soared, increasing two to four times in the last 30 years. But why?

Researchers think they've found the answer. The culprit behind the suffering of babies born with this condition appears to be the agricultural chemical atrazine. That's the conclusion of a study just presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) held in Chicago.

Researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle were alerted to a higher than normal number of cases in of the birth defect in babies born in eastern Washington. So they began investigating to see if the increased incidence was due to some kind of environmental exposure in that area.

"Our state has about two times the national average number of cases of gastroschisis," Dr. Sarah Waller, one of the study's authors, said in a statement to the media. "The life expectancy for fetuses with this diagnosis is better than 90 percent; however it requires delivery at a tertiary care center with immediate neonatal intervention which often separates families and can cause serious financial and emotional stress."

The condition can lead to poor function of the bowel after delivery and potential long term feeding problems. Bottom line: babies with this birth defect must undergo the trauma of surgery right after birth. And while most survive, some babies with gastroschisis have significant damage to the bowel due to direct contact between the intestine and amniotic fluid or because the intestine was twisted. These infants may develop a condition known as "short gut" which can lead to stunted growth and a host of feeding and other problems.

For the new study, Dr. Waller and her research team went to work investigating all cases of live born infants with gastroschisis during the period between 1987 and 2006. They matched birth certificates with databases from the U.S. Geological Survey that revealed where agricultural spraying took place and what chemicals were used. It turns out the chemicals atrazine, nitrates, and 2, 4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were heavily sprayed in the area.

Of the 805 cases and 3,616 controls in the study, gastroschisis developed far more frequently among babies whose mothers lived less than 25 km from the site of high surface water that was specifically contaminated with one of the chemicals -- atrazine. What's more, the risk of gastroschisis was found to especially rise in babies of women who conceived in the spring, from March through May. Those are the months when use of the chemical is the most prevalent.

The problem with atrazine


According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), atrazine is applied to crops (especially corn, sorghum, and sugarcane) before and after planting to control broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is used most heavily in the Midwest on agricultural crops but it is also applied to residential lawns, particularly in Florida and the Southeast.

Problems linked to atrazine have been in the news previously. Earlier research showed it causes sexual abnormalities in frogs and the chemical has also been linked to prostate cancer in workers at an atrazine manufacturing plant.

So why is it still widely used? Unfortunately, the EPA has done little to address the mounting evidence that atrazine is harmful to humans as well as animals. Last fall the agency announced it was going to start a new assessment of the chemical in 2010 that could take months to years to complete. In the meantime, tons of atrazine will continue to be sprayed on crops and lawns -- and mothers and their unborn babies will continue to be exposed to this chemical now linked to a serious and potentially deadly birth defects.

A brief history is in order. Started by Paul Goettlich the site was maintained since about 2000 without advertising by Paul alone. In 2009 it was shut down by a Christian coalition for reasons unknown to me at which point I mirrored it with the help of James here at 12.160, sort of, on Blogger. It was reopened in 2010 by persons unknown to me, nothing was changed with the exception of the addition of advertising and Paul is no longer attached to it as far as I know. It is, for me, the very best source of information, at least one of them, on the internet and it gets deep into scientific data which though often very difficult to understand will eventually make sense to the astute, persistent and well educated reader.

Starbuck, I recommend reading the "About" post before getting started. This is an extraordinarily well cited and supported web site with linked citations throughout.

The photo was taken when I was 18. I cut my hair and shaved for 30+ years, joined society though I was faking it, published a well received and very successful magazine and have now left that all behind.

Now I'm able to live my truths. I think I might be 56 or so.


My beard and hair are of course much longer now and that I identify with the Taliban is readily apparent.

Thanks. I maintain a food safety blog so I read about this subject almost every day and just as an aside, testing of organically grown leafy green vegetables and tubers reveals detectable Bovine Growth Hormone, it's terribly frustrating for me just to shop at the store once a week.


Tough gig. I'm trying to get my girlfriends son and his girlfriend to understand. They live with us. Their diet is very close to 100% chemicals. I worry about what diseases they will SURELY get when we're both gone in 10 or 20 years. They just have no clue and since it doesn't make them sick as a dog right now they think it's OK and it's not. It's almost impossible.

I don't think it's to poison people because it's very expensive for the government to support all of these sick people, but it's definitely so corporations can profit. The worst part is that most people just have no clue about what they eat and then they turn 45 or 50 or so and get diseases and wonder, "why me?" We'll, it's because their diet sucked.

Almost everything you can purchase in harmful to your health. Pretty sure they make all things for that reason. Don't want people living too long now, or at least that's the view the industry seems to be giving off.
