We are constantly faced with never ending lies from the
biotech industry that GMOs are safe to eat. These lies will never end because
the purpose of the biotech industry is to make money, make their shareholders
happy and not to care about anyoneβs health.
We know what happened to our servicemen in Viet Nam as well
as the Vietnamese that were subjected to the fumes of Agent Orange. Even today,
those Viet Nam servicemen are still being treated for their exposure to Agent
Orange and the children of the Vietnamese exposed to Agent Orange are still
dealing with their birth defects.
Today, in 2021, the cornfields in the contiguous United
States are being sprayed with 2-4-D, the active ingredient in Agent Orange.
Yet, despite what happened in Viet Nam, just from the fumes, Bayer/Monsanto
vehemently says that there is no danger in eating this.Β They are so full of shit their back teeth are
brown.
So, in an effort to once and for all give people a heads up,
the following is a comprehensive guide to readily discern what a GMO is. But,
before getting into that, let me spell it out very simply. GMO means Genetically
Modified Organism.
This means that the seed was not made by God but some f***ed
up scientist in a lab, whoβs chief inner desire is to continue to receive his
high salary and keep his job. And these guys are no different then the Nazi
scientists that spent only 5 to 7 years in prison for treating 6 million people
like todayβs lab rats and then getting hired by the U.S. and European
pharmaceutical industries to create drugs to treat diseases, largely enhanced
by crap foods bearing no nutrients.
These GMO crops are designed to resist insects, kill weeds,
and leave a toxic residue in the plant, which then gets passed on to us, the
βtricksβ.
When Gilles-Eric Seralini from France completed his
independent report in 2012, it showed severe toxic effects including liver
congestion, increased cancer tumor rates, and higher mortality rates in the
rates that were tested in consuming Bayer/Monsantoβs RoundUp Ready herbicide.
Seraliniβs report was published in the same year in the Food
and Chemical Toxicology Journal (FCT). But, lo and behold, in 2013 Seraliniβs
report was rejected by the FCT.
Interesting enough, Richard E. Goodman, a former Monsanto
employee was hired by the FCT in a newly created position. That of reviewing
biotechnology reports.Β Guess which
report was the first to go under the pretense of not enough rats being used?
Whatβs really trippy is that Monsanto, prior to the Seralini
report, did their own βindependentβ report with even fewer rats, which got
published in the FCT and never rejected. In God we trust. All others pay cash.
Your only means of protection for you and yours against the
horrendous effects of GMOs is you, and only if you take the time to read
labels.
The big 5 GMO plants are: soy, sugar beets, corn, canola,
and cottonseed.
Soy: soybean oil; soy flour; lecithin; protein powders;
vegetable protein added to packaged foods.
Sugar Beets: refined into sugar.
Corn: corn syrup; high fructose corn syrup; corn oil; animal
feed.
Canola: comes from the rapeseed plant and was used to clean
machinery; used in salad dressings, mayonnaise, and snack foods. There is no
such thing as βorganicβ Canola Oil.
Cottonseed: used to fry potato chips and processed foods;
commonly used in baked goods and margarine.
So, the best avoidance policies are: make sure what you buy
is certified organic; if not certified organic, make sure it has the non-GMO seal
on it; eliminate commercially produced dairy products and beef to avoid
ingesting rBGH or rBST, the genetically modified growth hormones; avoid the GMO
euphemisms, such as:
amino acids, artificial flavor, ascorbic acid, aspartame,
baking powder, citric acid, corn flour, corn meal, corn starch, dextrin,
dextrose, flavor (natural or artificial), fructose, glucose, gluten, anything
hydrolyzed, modified, or texturized, lactic acid, maltodextrin, molasses,
monosodium glutamate (MSG), natural flavor, rapeseed oil, shortening, sodium
ascorbate, sodium citrate, soy isolate, soy protein, starch, vegetable oil,
vegetable protein, vegetable shortening, vitamin C, whey, xanthan gum, yeast,
yeast extract, zucchini.
Many of the above are ok as long as they say organic or
non-GMO. If not, youβre screwed. Remember, virtually all of the above comes
from soy, corn, sugar beets, or milk products.Β
For example, maltodextrin, cornstarch, corn flour, MSG, or yeast extract
comes from corn; MSG and yeast extract can also come from sugar beets. Any
dairy product can contain bovine growth hormones.
For you meatheads out there, watch out. The following labels
do not legally prohibit GMOs.
Free-Range or Cage-Free; Naturally Raised; No Antibiotics; Natural;
No Hormones; Pastured.
You also must be careful regarding non-dairy milks unless
all organic because of the hidden GMOs. Despite almond and coconut milk not
being GMO, even though almonds are irradiated, you must look for emulsifiers
and added flavorings that are GMOs.
If you use non-dairy creamers only use organic ones.
Otherwise the soy, corn, cotton and sugar will get you.
Let me explain about whey. Whey is used as a binder to
improve texture and you can count on it being in dairy products, spreads,
meats, chili, sausages, soups, gravies, stews, salad dressings, snack foods,
candy, beverages, bakery products, mixes, and frozen desserts.
Some people I know have become obsessed with protein powders
and protein shakes to maintain a healthy weight level. Usually, the staple ingredient
in these is GMO whey or soy. In addition to non-GMO and organic versions, there
are products made with proteins from rice, peas or none getting stoned hemp.
Anything in a box, can, bottle, carton, or some king of
wrapper, is likely GMO. So, if you canβt buy organic or non-GMO, you must avoid
cereals containing soy, corn, or sugar. Switching to oatmeal is a good idea and
look for sweeteners like cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
On the safe side, if all the ingredients in nutrition bars,
snacks, canned soups, snacks, candy, chocolate, crackers, cooking oil,
condiments, cookies, cakes, pies, or canned soups do not list all their ingredients
as organic, rest assured that GMOs are there.
Before I forget, when buying produce and you look at the
label, if it begins with a 9 it is organic, with a 4 it is commercial, and with
an 8 it is GMO. Donβt worry though, you will hardly ever see an 8.
Bear in mind that eating in conventional restaurants
subjects you to the worst of the worst because itβs all about ingredientsβ
cost. GMOs are cheap and organics are more expensive. So, ask about ingredients
and you will soon find that only eating vegetables with brown rice (without the
arsenic if you can find it) or quinoa is the safest. To take a walk on the wild
side, bring your own spices and seasonings. In time, the adversities will take
their toll.
In closing, do not eat foods linked to death and cancer. And
remember, because of the biotech former employees now working for the Fraud and
Drug Administration, the Centers for Deceit Control and Procrastination, the
Federal Treachery Commission, and the Department of A**holes, 75% of foods are
not required to be labeled.
But, I guess the biggest lie we have yet to overcome is
Obamaβs, if youβll pardon the expression, promise to label GMOβs if he got
elected first time around. After getting elected, he bent over forward for
Monsanto!
Oh yeah, at the annual Monsanto shareholder meeting, almost 96 percent voted against GMO labeling.
Aloha!Β Β

When I was a kid, if I were told that I’d be writing a book about diet and nutrition when I was older, let alone having been doing a health related radio show for over 36 years, I would’ve thought that whoever told me that was out of their mind. Living in Newark, New Jersey, my parents and I consumed anything and everything that had a face or a mother except for dead, rotting, pig bodies, although we did eat bacon (as if all the other decomposing flesh bodies were somehow miraculously clean). Going through high school and college it was no different. In fact, my dietary change did not come until I was in my 30’s.
Just to put things in perspective, after I graduated from Weequahic High School and before going to Seton Hall University, I had a part-time job working for a butcher. I was the delivery guy and occasionally had to go to the slaughterhouse to pick up products for the store. Needless to say, I had no consciousness nor awareness, as change never came then despite the horrors I witnessed on an almost daily basis.
After graduating with a degree in accounting from Seton Hall, I eventually got married and moved to a town called Livingston. Livingston was basically a yuppie community where everyone was judged by the neighborhood they lived in and their income. To say it was a “plastic” community would be an understatement.
Livingston and the shallowness finally got to me. I told my wife I was fed up and wanted to move. She made it clear she had to be near her friends and New York City. I finally got my act together and split for Colorado.
I was living with a lady in Aspen at the end of 1974, when one day she said, ” let’s become vegetarians”. I have no idea what possessed me to say it, but I said, “okay”! At that point I went to the freezer and took out about $100 worth of frozen, dead body parts and gave them to a welfare mother who lived behind us. Well, everything was great for about a week or so, and then the chick split with another guy.
So here I was, a vegetarian for a couple weeks, not really knowing what to do, how to cook, or basically how to prepare anything. For about a month, I was getting by on carrot sticks, celery sticks, and yogurt. Fortunately, when I went vegan in 1990, it was a simple and natural progression. Anyway, as I walked around Aspen town, I noticed a little vegetarian restaurant called, “The Little Kitchen”.
Let me back up just a little bit. It was April of 1975, the snow was melting and the runoff of Ajax Mountain filled the streets full of knee-deep mud. Now, Aspen was great to ski in, but was a bummer to walk in when the snow was melting.
I was ready to call it quits and I needed a warmer place. I’ll elaborate on that in a minute.
But right now, back to “The Little Kitchen”. Knowing that I was going to leave Aspen and basically a new vegetarian, I needed help. So, I cruised into the restaurant and told them my plight and asked them if they would teach me how to cook. I told them in return I would wash dishes and empty their trash. They then asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was an accountant.
The owner said to me, “Let’s make a deal. You do our tax return and we’ll feed you as well”. So for the next couple of weeks I was doing their tax return, washing their dishes, emptying the trash, and learning as much as I could.
But, like I said, the mud was getting to me. So I picked up a travel book written by a guy named Foder. The name of the book was, “Hawaii”. Looking through the book I noticed that in Lahaina, on Maui, there was a little vegetarian restaurant called,” Mr. Natural’s”. I decided right then and there that I would go to Lahaina and work at “Mr. Natural’s.” To make a long story short, that’s exactly what happened.
So, I’m working at “Mr. Natural’s” and learning everything I can about my new dietary lifestyle – it was great. Every afternoon we would close for lunch at about 1 PM and go to the Sheraton Hotel in Ka’anapali and play volleyball, while somebody stayed behind to prepare dinner.
Since I was the new guy, and didn’t really know how to cook, I never thought that I would be asked to stay behind to cook dinner. Well, one afternoon, that’s exactly what happened; it was my turn. That posed a problem for me because I was at the point where I finally knew how to boil water.
I was desperate, clueless and basically up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine sitting in the gazebo at the restaurant and I asked him if he knew how to cook. He said the only thing he knew how to cook was enchiladas. He said that his enchiladas were bean-less and dairy-less. I told him that I had no idea what an enchilada was or what he was talking about, but I needed him to show me because it was my turn to do the evening meal.
Well, the guys came back from playing volleyball and I’m asked what was for dinner. I told them enchiladas; the owner wasn’t thrilled. I told him that mine were bean-less and dairy-less. When he tried the enchilada he said it was incredible. Being the humble guy that I was, I smiled and said, “You expected anything less”? It apparently was so good that it was the only item on the menu that we served twice a week. In fact, after about a week, we were selling five dozen every night we had them on the menu and people would walk around Lahaina broadcasting, ‘enchilada’s at “Natural’s” tonight’. I never had to cook anything else.
A year later the restaurant closed, and somehow I gravitated to a little health food store in Wailuku. I never told anyone I was an accountant and basically relegated myself to being the truck driver. The guys who were running the health food store had friends in similar businesses and farms on many of the islands. I told them that if they could organize and form one company they could probably lock in the State. That’s when they found out I was an accountant and “Down to Earth” was born. “Down to Earth” became the largest natural food store chain in the islands, and I was their Chief Financial Officer and co-manager of their biggest store for 13 years.
In 1981, I started to do a weekly radio show to try and expose people to a vegetarian diet and get them away from killing innocent creatures. I still do that show today. I pay for my own airtime and have no sponsors to not compromise my honesty. One bit of a hassle was the fact that I was forced to get a Masters Degree in Nutrition to shut up all the MD’s that would call in asking for my credentials.
My doing this radio show enabled me, through endless research, to see the corruption that existed within the big food industries, the big pharmaceutical companies, the biotech industries and the government agencies. This information, unconscionable as it is, enabled me to realize how broken our health system is. This will be covered more in depth in the Introduction and throughout the book and when you finish the book you will see this clearly and it will hopefully inspire you to make changes.
I left Down to Earth in 1989, got nationally certified as a sports injury massage therapist and started traveling the world with a bunch of guys that were making a martial arts movie. After doing that for about four years I finally made it back to Honolulu and got a job as a massage therapist at the Honolulu Club, one of Hawaii’s premier fitness clubs. It was there I met the love of my life who I have been with since 1998. She made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. She said,” If you want to be with me you’ve got to stop working on naked women”. So, I went back into accounting and was the Chief Financial Officer of a large construction company for many years.
Going back to my Newark days when I was an infant, I had no idea what a “chicken” or “egg” or “fish” or “pig” or “cow” was. My dietary blueprint was thrust upon me by my parents as theirs was thrust upon them by their parents. It was by the grace of God that I was able to put things in their proper perspective and improve my health and elevate my consciousness.
The road that I started walking down in 1975 has finally led me to the point of writing my book, βA Sane Diet For An Insane Worldβ. Hopefully, the information contained herein will be enlightening, motivating, and inspiring to encourage you to make different choices. Doing what we do out of conditioning is not always the best course to follow. I am hoping that by the grace of the many friends and personalities I have encountered along my path, you will have a better perspective of what road is the best road for you to travel on, not only for your health but your consciousness as well.
Last but not least: after being vaccinated as a kid I developed asthma, which plagued me all of my life. In 2007 I got exposed to the organic sulfur crystals, which got rid of my asthma in 3 days and has not come back in over 10 years. That, being the tip of the iceberg, has helped people reverse stage 4 cancers, autism, joint pain, blood pressure problems, migraine headaches, erectile dysfunction, gingivitis, and more. Also, because of the detoxification effects by the release of oxygen that permeates and heals all the cells in the body, it removes parasites, radiation, fluoride, free radicals, and all the other crap that is thrust upon us in the environment by Big Business.
