healthimpactnews--2020-03-12--Why Bill Gates Is Accelerating a Toxic Food System

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest charitable foundation in the world , with a trust endowment valued at $ 48 billion1 and yearly grant payments in excess of $ 5 billion annually.2 In addition to being one of the largest contributors to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , with heavy involvement in global public health , the Gates Foundation is deeply involved in agricultural development .
Their website lists four strategic goals as being key to their goal to drive agricultural transformation:3 It ’ s a noble cause but one that ’ s being carried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , patented seeds and corporate control — interests that undermine regenerative , sustainable , small-scale farming .
In a report by Global Justice Now , the excessive global influence held by the Gates Foundation is illustrated , starting with the $ 2 billion the foundation has spent on agriculture , primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia .
Indeed , in February 2012 , when the Gates Foundation announced a $ 200 million donation to the International Fund for Agricultural Development , Gates talked of the importance of brining “ agricultural science and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are buzzwords that imply genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) and biotechnology , which are heavily favored by the Gates Foundation .
The No .
1 strategy invested in to drive agricultural change is , in fact , “ new products , tools , technologies , systems , and approaches to advance inclusive agricultural transformation .
These products may include new livestock vaccines , or new traits that increase a crop ’ s drought tolerance , ” i.e.
, GMOs , the Gates Foundation website states.6 As further noted by Global Justice Now:7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Science , which is essentially a front group for the agrichemical industry , which makes sense , since Gates has also bought millions of dollars ’ worth of shares in Monsanto stock , according to AlterNet ( and also invested in soy- and GE-yeast-based “ burgers ” ) .8 He ’ s also furthering the Green Revolution , the Rockefeller Foundation-funded conversion of natural farming to a system dependent on chemicals , fossil fuels and industry , and in so doing , “ Bill Gates is continuing the work of Monsanto , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-globalization author , stated in an interview with France 24 .
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa ( AGRA ) , which has received about $ 420 million from the Gates Foundation , is essentially a Gates Foundation subsidiary , and while some of its projects appear to be beneficial , most of its goals are centered on promoting biotechnology and chemical fertilizers .
“ The main problem with AGRA , ” Global Justice Now explains , “ is that it is laying the groundwork for the deeper penetration of African @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates Foundation May Be the Biggest Funder of GMO Research Another red flag into the Gates ’ Foundations antiregenerative intentions is its heavy funding of research into genetic engineering ( GE ) .
Global Justice Now states the Gates Foundation is “ probably the world ’ s leading funder of GM [ genetic modification ] research in the global south , ” noting:10 In addition to funding GE research , the Gates Foundation has funded public relations activities that support the widespread adoption of GMOs , including influencing national regulations that favor GE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is targeting new markets in Africa to implement the adoption of these new GE products .
In Africa , more than 80 % of the seed supply comes from small farmers recycling , saving and exchanging seeds each year , but AGRA is pushing patented seeds that would allow a few large corporations to control the seed supply , production and distribution , forcing small farmers to be dependent on them for their very livelihoods to continue.12 Keep in mind , too , that a whopping 35 % of cereal and soy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is fed to animals being raised on CAFOs ( concentrated animal feeding operations ) .13 Where you could once find locally grown food nearby , we ’ re now very much dependent on the industrial agriculture complex for our very sustenance .
By taking the power away from small farmers and putting it into the hands of multinational corporations like Monsanto , we have a worrying consolidation and industrialization of agriculture and the food supply .
To put the Gates Foundation in perspective , Global Research noted:14 The Gates Foundation ’ s continued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for human health .
In March 2015 , the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) , which is the research arm of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , determined glyphosate to be a “ probable carcinogen ” ( Class 2A ) .
Since then , Monsanto ( which was acquired by Bayer in June 2018 ) , has been inundated by lawsuits from people claiming their cancer was caused by Roundup , which contains glyphosate as its active ingredient .
In the U.S. , approximately 42,700 U.S. lawsuits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to develop cancer have already been filed.15 Bayer is in settlement talks to resolve the litigation but continues to deny that the chemical causes cancer .
Ken Feinber , a court-appointed mediator , stated in January 2020 that Roundup cancer claimants could surpass 75,000.16 Research published in Frontiers in Genetics found that exposure in low concentrations ( in parts per trillion ) may induce cancer in cells when combined with microRNA-182-5p ( miR182-5p ) .17 Likewise , in a comprehensive analysis of glyphosate exposure over a lifetime in animals , its carcinogenicity was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tumor findings.
” Researchers stated:18 In the first three Roundup-cancer cases to go to trial , Bayer has been ordered to pay billions of dollars to the plaintiffs , although the awards were later slashed to the tens of millions range .
Now , in February 2020 , Bayer Chairmen Werner Wenning , who was instrumental in the Monsanto acquisition , announced he was stepping down , effective April 2020.19 It ’ s the latest upheaval for the company which , in 2019 , saw 55.5 % of its shareholders vote against ratifying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the minority percentage of votes in favor of ratifying the actions of Bayer ’ s board of management , the company ’ s supervisory board said it would stand behind them , including in their efforts to appeal the trials concerning glyphosate .
While some questioned the timing of Wenning stepping down amid settlement talks for the glyphosate lawsuits , Wenning said in a statement , Thousands of Farmers Lining up to Sue for Dicamba Drift Dicamba , a highly volatile herbicide known for drifting and damaging off-target crops , is another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Millions of acres across the U.S. have been damaged by dicamba drift,24 and there ’ s also disturbing information that the chemical is harming trees .
Dicamba use has also turned farmers against one another , as those experiencing damaged crops blame neighboring farms for spraying dicamba .
Lawsuits are now springing up , including the case of a Missouri peach farm , which was awarded $ 265 million in compensatory and punitive damages due to dicamba damage .
More than 2,000 U.S. farmers have since stepped up with additional dicamba damage to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ included in upcoming dicamba-damage lawsuits against dicamba makers Bayer and BASF.25 What many people don ’ t realize is that pesticides are not the answer to productive agriculture and feeding the world .
In fact , research shows that most farmers could cut pesticide usage by 40 % without harming their production .
Eighty-six percent of these farms would even improve their production as a result,26 so why isn ’ t this something the Gates Foundation is standing behind ?
To opt-out of the madness , seek out non-GMO , organic foods as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are using regenerative and biodynamic farming principles instead of chemical pesticides .
The fact remains that one of the best ways to fight back against the multinational corporations and industry-controlled front groups angling to control agriculture and the food supply is to make an effort to support the farmers who are farming the right way , using regenerative farming techniques — without the help of GMOs , Roundup , dicamba and other toxic agricultural chemicals .
Biotech Companies Gain Power by Taking Over the Government There is no doubt in my mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along with them pose a serious threat to the environment and our health , yet government agencies turn a blind eye and refuse to act — and the reason is very clear : They are furthering the interests of the biotech giants .
It is well known that there is a revolving door between government agencies and biotech companies like Monsanto-now-Bayer .
Consider the hypocrisy of the FDA .
On paper , the U.S. may have the strictest food safety laws in the world governing new food additives , but this agency has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and herbicides like Roundup to evade these laws .
In fact , the only legal basis for allowing GE foods to be marketed in the U.S. is the FDA ’ s claim that these foods are inherently safe , a claim which is patently ridiculous .
Documents released as a result of a lawsuit against the FDA reveal that the agency ’ s own scientists warned their superiors about the detrimental risks of GE foods .
But their warnings fell on deaf ears .
The influence of the biotech giants is not limited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2017 article , GMWatch revealed that 26 of the 34 members of the National Advisory Committee on Agricultural Biotechnology of Argentina ( CONABIA ) are either employed by chemical technology companies or have major conflicts of interest .
You may be aware that Argentina is one of the countries where single-crop fields of GE cotton , corn and soy dominate the countryside .
Argentina is also a country facing severe environmental destruction .
Argentines are plagued with health issues , including degenerative diseases and physical deformities .
It would appear that the rapid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decline in national health indicators are intrinsically linked .
Biotech companies ’ outrageous attempts to push for their corporate interests extend far beyond the halls of government .
In a further effort to hoodwink the public , Monsanto/Bayer and their cohorts have been caught zealously spoon-feeding scientists , academics and journalists with questionable studies that depict them in a positive light .
By hiring “ third-party experts , ” biotech companies are able to take information of dubious validity and present it as independent and authoritative .
It ’ s a shameful practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would like to think .
One notorious example of this is Henry Miller , who was thoroughly outed as a Monsanto shill during the 2012 Proposition 37 GMO labeling campaign in California .
Miller , falsely posing as a Stanford professor , promoted GE foods during this campaign .
In 2015 , he published a paper in Forbes Magazine attacking the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer , a branch of the World Health Organization , after it classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen .
After it was revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact ghostwritten by Monsanto , Forbes not only fired him , but also removed all of his work from its site .
Industry front groups also abound .
The Genetic Literacy Project and the American Council on Science and Health were both Monsanto-funded before Bayer bought Monsanto .
Whether that funding continues under Bayer is left to be seen , but other “ trusted ” sources were also caught taking Monsanto money .
For example , WebMD , a website that is often presented as a trustworthy source of “ independent and objective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a lackey for Monsanto by using its influence to promote corporate-backed health strategies and products , displaying advertisements and advertorials on Big Biotechs ’ behalf , furthering the biotech industry ’ s agenda — all for the sake of profit .
But even with underhanded tactics to peddle their toxic products , biotechs are now unable to hide the truth : Genetic engineering will in no way , shape or form make the world a better place .
It will not solve world hunger .
It will not increase farmers ’ livelihoods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do any good for your health — and may in fact prove to be detrimental .
There ’ s No Better Time to Act Than NOW — Here ’ s What to Do So now the question is : Will you continue supporting the corrupt , toxic and unsustainable food system that Big Biotech , Monsanto/Bayer and their industry shills and profit-hungry lackeys have painstakingly crafted ?
It is largely up to all of us , as consumers , to loosen and break their tight hold on our food supply .
The good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As consumers worldwide become increasingly aware of the problems linked to GE crops and the toxic chemicals , herbicides and pesticides used on them , more and more people are proactively refusing to eat these foods .
There ’ s also strong growth in the global organic and grass fed sectors .
This just proves one thing : We can make a difference if we steadily work toward the same goal .
One of the best things you can do is to buy your foods from a local farmer who runs a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promote regenerative agriculture .
You can also join a community supported agriculture ( CSA ) program , where you can buy a “ share ” of the vegetables produced by the farm , so you get a regular supply of fresh food .
I believe that joining a CSA is a powerful investment not only in your own health , but in that of your local community and economy as well .
In addition , you should also adopt preventive strategies that can help reduce the toxic chemical pollution that assaults your body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for non-GMO food resources in your country : Monsanto , Bayer and their allies want you to think that they control everything , but they do not .
It ’ s you , the masses , who hold the power in your hands .
Let ’ s all work together to topple the biotech industry ’ s house of cards .
Remember — it all starts with shopping smart and making the best food purchases for you and your family .

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest charitable foundation in the world, with a trust endowment valued at $48 billion1 and yearly grant payments in excess of $5 billion annually.2 In addition to being one of the largest contributors to the World Health Organization (WHO), with heavy involvement in global public health, the Gates Foundation is deeply involved in agricultural development.
Their website lists four strategic goals as being key to their goal to drive agricultural transformation:3
Increase agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers Increase smallholder farmer household income Increase equitable consumption of a safe, affordable, nutritious diet year-round Increase women’s empowerment in agriculture
It’s a noble cause but one that’s being carried out using an agenda that supports agrochemicals, patented seeds and corporate control — interests that undermine regenerative, sustainable, small-scale farming.
Excessive Global Influence Focusing on GMOs and Technology
In a report by Global Justice Now, the excessive global influence held by the Gates Foundation is illustrated, starting with the $2 billion the foundation has spent on agriculture, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
“It is the world’s fifth largest donor to agriculture, spending $389 million in 2013; only Germany, Japan, Norway and the U.S. have larger bilateral aid programs to agriculture,” the report noted, and, “With funding comes in influence.”4
Indeed, in February 2012, when the Gates Foundation announced a $200 million donation to the International Fund for Agricultural Development, Gates talked of the importance of brining “agricultural science and technology to poor farmers.”5 These are buzzwords that imply genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and biotechnology, which are heavily favored by the Gates Foundation.
The No. 1 strategy invested in to drive agricultural change is, in fact, “new products, tools, technologies, systems, and approaches to advance inclusive agricultural transformation. These products may include new livestock vaccines, or new traits that increase a crop’s drought tolerance,” i.e., GMOs, the Gates Foundation website states.6 As further noted by Global Justice Now:7
“The BMGF [The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation] is promoting a number of specific priorities through its agriculture grants, several of which are undermining the interests of small farmers while claiming to support them.
These include promoting a model of industrial agriculture, the increasing use of chemical fertilisers and expensive, patented seeds, the privatisation of extension services and a very large focus on genetically modified seeds.”
Funding Front Groups Pushing Agricultural Chemicals
The Gates Foundation funds the Cornell Alliance for Science, which is essentially a front group for the agrichemical industry, which makes sense, since Gates has also bought millions of dollars’ worth of shares in Monsanto stock, according to AlterNet (and also invested in soy- and GE-yeast-based “burgers”).8
He’s also furthering the Green Revolution, the Rockefeller Foundation-funded conversion of natural farming to a system dependent on chemicals, fossil fuels and industry, and in so doing, “Bill Gates is continuing the work of Monsanto,” Vandana Shiva, environmental activist and anti-globalization author, stated in an interview with France 24.
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), which has received about $420 million from the Gates Foundation, is essentially a Gates Foundation subsidiary, and while some of its projects appear to be beneficial, most of its goals are centered on promoting biotechnology and chemical fertilizers.
“The main problem with AGRA,” Global Justice Now explains, “is that it is laying the groundwork for the deeper penetration of African agriculture by agribusiness corporations,” and:9
“The BMGF, through AGRA, is one of the world’s largest promoters of chemical fertiliser. Some grants given by the BMGF to AGRA have been specifically intended to ‘help AGRA build the fertiliser supply chain’ in Africa. One of the largest of AGRA’s own grants, worth $25 million, was to help establish the African Fertiliser Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP) in 2012 whose very goal is to ‘at least double total fertiliser use’ in Africa.”
Gates Foundation May Be the Biggest Funder of GMO Research
Another red flag into the Gates’ Foundations antiregenerative intentions is its heavy funding of research into genetic engineering (GE). Global Justice Now states the Gates Foundation is “probably the world’s leading funder of GM [genetic modification] research in the global south,” noting:10
“In an interview with the Guardian’s John Vidal in 2012, the BMGF’s head of agriculture, Sam Dryden, said that “only” 5 per cent of Gates’ agricultural money is directed at transgenic research and development. But as Vidal noted, that may be around $100 million since 2007 — more than any other government or world body is known to have handed out.”
In addition to funding GE research, the Gates Foundation has funded public relations activities that support the widespread adoption of GMOs, including influencing national regulations that favor GE technologies. Meanwhile, the Gates Foundation is targeting new markets in Africa to implement the adoption of these new GE products.
“The major beneficiaries of the BMGF’s push for GM are of course the giant seed manufacturers, such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer and Dupont, and the agro-chemical companies producing fertiliser and pesticides, some of which are being supported in other BMGF-funded projects and investments by the BMFG Trust.
The Gates Foundation is in effect preparing the ground for them to access new profitable markets in hitherto closed-off developing countries, especially in Africa.”11
In Africa, more than 80% of the seed supply comes from small farmers recycling, saving and exchanging seeds each year, but AGRA is pushing patented seeds that would allow a few large corporations to control the seed supply, production and distribution, forcing small farmers to be dependent on them for their very livelihoods to continue.12
Keep in mind, too, that a whopping 35% of cereal and soy, much of it GE, harvested globally is fed to animals being raised on CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations).13 Where you could once find locally grown food nearby, we’re now very much dependent on the industrial agriculture complex for our very sustenance.
By taking the power away from small farmers and putting it into the hands of multinational corporations like Monsanto, we have a worrying consolidation and industrialization of agriculture and the food supply. To put the Gates Foundation in perspective, Global Research noted:14
“As for food security, the foundation would do better by supporting agroecological (agrochemical-free) approaches to agriculture, which various high-level UN reports have advocated for ensuring equitable global food security.
But this would leave smallholder agriculture both intact and independent from Western agro-capital, something which runs counter to the underlying aims of the corporations that the foundation supports — dispossession and market dependency.”
More Support for Glyphosate-Cancer Link
The Gates Foundation’s continued support of chemical-intensive industrial agriculture is detrimental for human health. In March 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), determined glyphosate to be a “probable carcinogen” (Class 2A).
Since then, Monsanto (which was acquired by Bayer in June 2018), has been inundated by lawsuits from people claiming their cancer was caused by Roundup, which contains glyphosate as its active ingredient.
In the U.S., approximately 42,700 U.S. lawsuits from individuals alleging that glyphosate caused them to develop cancer have already been filed.15 Bayer is in settlement talks to resolve the litigation but continues to deny that the chemical causes cancer.
Ken Feinber, a court-appointed mediator, stated in January 2020 that Roundup cancer claimants could surpass 75,000.16 Research published in Frontiers in Genetics found that exposure in low concentrations (in parts per trillion) may induce cancer in cells when combined with microRNA-182-5p (miR182-5p).17
Likewise, in a comprehensive analysis of glyphosate exposure over a lifetime in animals, its carcinogenicity was further revealed, with “37 significant tumor findings.” Researchers stated:18
“The strongest evidence shows that glyphosate causes hemangiosarcomas, kidney tumors and malignant lymphomas in male CD-1 mice, hemangiomas and malignant lymphomas in female CD-1 mice, hemangiomas in female Swiss albino mice, kidney adenomas, liver adenomas, skin keratoacanthomas and skin basal cell tumors in male Sprague-Dawley rats, adrenal cortical carcinomas in female Sprague-Dawley rats and hepatocellular adenomas and skin keratocanthomas in male Wistar rats.”
Bayer Chair Quits — Toxic Agriculture Is Toxic for Business
In the first three Roundup-cancer cases to go to trial, Bayer has been ordered to pay billions of dollars to the plaintiffs, although the awards were later slashed to the tens of millions range. Now, in February 2020, Bayer Chairmen Werner Wenning, who was instrumental in the Monsanto acquisition, announced he was stepping down, effective April 2020.19
It’s the latest upheaval for the company which, in 2019, saw 55.5% of its shareholders vote against ratifying the management’s actions.20 In response to the minority percentage of votes in favor of ratifying the actions of Bayer’s board of management, the company’s supervisory board said it would stand behind them, including in their efforts to appeal the trials concerning glyphosate.
“While we take the outcome of the vote at the annual stockholders’ meeting very seriously, Bayer’s supervisory board unanimously stands behind the board of management,” Wenning said in a news release in April 2019.21 “The outcome of the vote … does nonetheless show that the annual stockholders’ meeting wanted to send a clear signal to the board of management that Bayer AG should bring out the company’s strengths to a greater extent in the future.”22
While some questioned the timing of Wenning stepping down amid settlement talks for the glyphosate lawsuits, Wenning said in a statement,
“We have made and continue to make progress in handling the legal issues in the U.S. That’s why now is a good time to hand over to my successor.”23
Thousands of Farmers Lining up to Sue for Dicamba Drift
Dicamba, a highly volatile herbicide known for drifting and damaging off-target crops, is another example of industrial agriculture gone wrong. Millions of acres across the U.S. have been damaged by dicamba drift,24 and there’s also disturbing information that the chemical is harming trees. Dicamba use has also turned farmers against one another, as those experiencing damaged crops blame neighboring farms for spraying dicamba.
Lawsuits are now springing up, including the case of a Missouri peach farm, which was awarded $265 million in compensatory and punitive damages due to dicamba damage. More than 2,000 U.S. farmers have since stepped up with additional dicamba damage to their crops and are likely to be included in upcoming dicamba-damage lawsuits against dicamba makers Bayer and BASF.25
What many people don’t realize is that pesticides are not the answer to productive agriculture and feeding the world. In fact, research shows that most farmers could cut pesticide usage by 40% without harming their production. Eighty-six percent of these farms would even improve their production as a result,26 so why isn’t this something the Gates Foundation is standing behind?
To opt-out of the madness, seek out non-GMO, organic foods as much as possible, and support farmers who are using regenerative and biodynamic farming principles instead of chemical pesticides.
The fact remains that one of the best ways to fight back against the multinational corporations and industry-controlled front groups angling to control agriculture and the food supply is to make an effort to support the farmers who are farming the right way, using regenerative farming techniques — without the help of GMOs, Roundup, dicamba and other toxic agricultural chemicals.
Biotech Companies Gain Power by Taking Over the Government
There is no doubt in my mind that GMOs and the toxic chemicals used along with them pose a serious threat to the environment and our health, yet government agencies turn a blind eye and refuse to act — and the reason is very clear: They are furthering the interests of the biotech giants.
It is well known that there is a revolving door between government agencies and biotech companies like Monsanto-now-Bayer. Consider the hypocrisy of the FDA.

You may be aware that Argentina is one of the countries where single-crop fields of GE cotton, corn and soy dominate the countryside. Argentina is also a country facing severe environmental destruction. Argentines are plagued with health issues, including degenerative diseases and physical deformities. It would appear that the rapid expansion of GE crops and the subsequent decline in national health indicators are intrinsically linked.
Don’t Be Duped by Industry Shills!
Biotech companies’ outrageous attempts to push for their corporate interests extend far beyond the halls of government. In a further effort to hoodwink the public, Monsanto/Bayer and their cohorts have been caught zealously spoon-feeding scientists, academics and journalists with questionable studies that depict them in a positive light.
By hiring “third-party experts,” biotech companies are able to take information of dubious validity and present it as independent and authoritative. It’s a shameful practice that is far more common than anyone would like to think. One notorious example of this is Henry Miller, who was thoroughly outed as a Monsanto shill during the 2012 Proposition 37 GMO labeling campaign in California.
Miller, falsely posing as a Stanford professor, promoted GE foods during this campaign. In 2015, he published a paper in Forbes Magazine attacking the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, after it classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen.

But even with underhanded tactics to peddle their toxic products, biotechs are now unable to hide the truth: Genetic engineering will in no way, shape or form make the world a better place. It will not solve world hunger. It will not increase farmers’ livelihoods. And it most certainly will not do any good for your health — and may in fact prove to be detrimental.
There’s No Better Time to Act Than NOW — Here’s What to Do
So now the question is: Will you continue supporting the corrupt, toxic and unsustainable food system that Big Biotech, Monsanto/Bayer and their industry shills and profit-hungry lackeys have painstakingly crafted? It is largely up to all of us, as consumers, to loosen and break their tight hold on our food supply. The good news is that the tide has turned.
As consumers worldwide become increasingly aware of the problems linked to GE crops and the toxic chemicals, herbicides and pesticides used on them, more and more people are proactively refusing to eat these foods. There’s also strong growth in the global organic and grass fed sectors. This just proves one thing: We can make a difference if we steadily work toward the same goal.
One of the best things you can do is to buy your foods from a local farmer who runs a small business and uses diverse methods that promote regenerative agriculture.
You can also join a community supported agriculture (CSA) program, where you can buy a “share” of the vegetables produced by the farm, so you get a regular supply of fresh food. I believe that joining a CSA is a powerful investment not only in your own health, but in that of your local community and economy as well.
In addition, you should also adopt preventive strategies that can help reduce the toxic chemical pollution that assaults your body. I recommend visiting these trustworthy sites for non-GMO food resources in your country:
Monsanto, Bayer and their allies want you to think that they control everything, but they do not. It’s you, the masses, who hold the power in your hands.

Rogue Washington Doctor Intent on Medically Kidnapping Child – Parents Forced to get Restraining Order Against Doctor

Physician will stop at nothing to separate a mother from her child – Leads a family to get a restraining order What can a family do when they become the target of a rogue physician who has no oversight and can not be held accountable for their actions ?
You file for a restraining order .
This may seem like an extreme act , especially against a physician , the ones who are supposed to be dedicated to helping others .
Unfortunately , recent national media investigations and research have produced several stories involving hundreds of families who were targeted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Child Abuse Pediatrics ( CAP ) .
The laws vary from state to state , but they all provide immunity for these physicians and sometimes for anyone who is involved in the investigation of suspected child abuse , whether the actions are malice or even illegal .
It has become more evident this lack of accountability has caused some physicians in the field of “ diagnosing ” child abuse to lose sight of reality and become outright devious toward a family or individual they suspect as being a child abuser , even when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theory .
One form of child abuse on the rise is medical child abuse , formerly Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy .
In this type of abuse , the abuser falsifies symptoms or deliberately makes a child sick in order to get unnecessary and sometimes life threatening medical treatment .
A lot of the recent cases being diagnosed and investigated as medical child abuse have more evidence against the accusation than in support of it .
This evidence consists of medical records and reports by the treating physicians and specialists , nurses and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims made by the parent or caretaker , or have medical evidence that supports the history given by the parent or caretaker .
Unfortunately , once a CAP makes any accusation of abuse , the opinions of other doctors are usually disregarded despite having more training in the medical conditions and diseases responsible for a child ’ s injury or illness .
It has now come to a point where an accusing physician does not need the additional training required to become board certified in Child Abuse Pediatrics that allows such a dominant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ By simply claiming to have “ experience ” and “ expertise ” qualifies them to make abuse accusations with such certainty and credibility , which leads to a child being removed from their family .
Doctor Lies About her Credentials and Experience Under Oath In a recent story by Mike Hixenbaugh with NBC News and Taylor Mirfendereski with KING5 , the Carter family , of Tacoma , Washington , was blindsided when a doctor accused Megan Carter , a mother of two children , of medical child abuse .
In the doctor ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and KING5 , The doctor , who is considered the state ’ s “ pre-eminent expert in identifying subtle signs of child abuse , ” made several false and misleading statements to the family , and the court , about her medical background and training .
Elizabeth Woods , the pediatrician who made the accusation , was hired by Mary Bridge Children ’ s Hospital , late 2017 , to be the medical director of the hospital ’ s child abuse intervention team .
Previous to this , her curriculum vitae ( CV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Army .
It was this time in the Army where , according to NBC and KING5 , The reporters reviewed court records and found not only did Woods lack the medical training for assessing potential abuse , she testified under oath , This was a false statement made under oath .
The training to become board certified in child abuse pediatrics began in 2009 .
According to Woods ’ CV , she was still in medical school in at that time .
Woods ’ false and misleading testimony didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ KING5 report Woods ’ testimony as stating , But , the reporters found there are more than 375 child abuse pediatricians certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in the U.S. , and at least three physicians in Washington State have met the qualifications to become board certified .
Woods is not one of them .
The story also reports four cases reviewed by the reporters where CPS took children from parents in which Woods misstated key facts , and there were contradictory opinions from other medical experts who said they saw no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical expert opinions and Woods ’ lack of training and board certification , CPS and law enforcement in Washington continue to allow Woods ’ incredible influence over their decisions to remove children from their homes and pursue criminal charges .
Dr. Niran Al-Agba , a pediatrician in Washington , and one of the contradictory opinions in one of the cases , is quoted as saying , She isn ’ t the only one dumbfounded .
The Carters continued to wonder how and why their lives were sent into a nightmare by the claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of abuse were not the only things Woods did against this family ; they were was just the beginning .
Ellie Carter was in and out of Mary Bridge since birth when she was born severely premature at 24 weeks .
This resulted in Ellie having developmental delays and chronic health problems , which include serious breathing and digestive difficulties , all confirmed by medical doctors at Mary Bridge by way of medical records .

Physician will stop at nothing to separate a mother from her child – Leads a family to get a restraining order
Commentary by Allie Parker
Health Impact News
What can a family do when they become the target of a rogue physician who has no oversight and cannot be held accountable for their actions? You file for a restraining order.
This may seem like an extreme act, especially against a physician, the ones who are supposed to be dedicated to helping others. Unfortunately, recent national media investigations and research have produced several stories involving hundreds of families who were targeted by physicians in a sub-specialty known as Child Abuse Pediatrics (CAP).
The laws vary from state to state, but they all provide immunity for these physicians and sometimes for anyone who is involved in the investigation of suspected child abuse, whether the actions are malice or even illegal.
It has become more evident this lack of accountability has caused some physicians in the field of “diagnosing” child abuse to lose sight of reality and become outright devious toward a family or individual they suspect as being a child abuser, even when there is no evidence to support their theory.
One form of child abuse on the rise is medical child abuse, formerly Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. In this type of abuse, the abuser falsifies symptoms or deliberately makes a child sick in order to get unnecessary and sometimes life threatening medical treatment.
A lot of the recent cases being diagnosed and investigated as medical child abuse have more evidence against the accusation than in support of it. This evidence consists of medical records and reports by the treating physicians and specialists, nurses and other family members who have either witnessed the claims made by the parent or caretaker, or have medical evidence that supports the history given by the parent or caretaker.
Unfortunately, once a CAP makes any accusation of abuse, the opinions of other doctors are usually disregarded despite having more training in the medical conditions and diseases responsible for a child’s injury or illness.
It has now come to a point where an accusing physician does not need the additional training required to become board certified in Child Abuse Pediatrics that allows such a dominant opinion over other physicians and specialists.
By simply claiming to have “experience” and “expertise” qualifies them to make abuse accusations with such certainty and credibility, which leads to a child being removed from their family.
Doctor Lies About her Credentials and Experience Under Oath
In a recent story by Mike Hixenbaugh with NBC News and Taylor Mirfendereski with KING5, the Carter family, of Tacoma, Washington, was blindsided when a doctor accused Megan Carter, a mother of two children, of medical child abuse.
In the doctor’s report, according to NCB News and KING5,
“Ellie Carter is a victim of medical child abuse. This is life threatening, and she is at imminent risk if her mother is involved in her care.”
The doctor, who is considered the state’s “pre-eminent expert in identifying subtle signs of child abuse,” made several false and misleading statements to the family, and the court, about her medical background and training.
Elizabeth Woods, the pediatrician who made the accusation, was hired by Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, late 2017, to be the medical director of the hospital’s child abuse intervention team. Previous to this, her curriculum vitae (CV) claims she spent over ten years in the Army.
It was this time in the Army where, according to NBC and KING5,
“Woods testified in Carter’s case that she became an expert through firsthand experience.”
The reporters reviewed court records and found not only did Woods lack the medical training for assessing potential abuse, she testified under oath,
“The training just started about three years ago.”
This was a false statement made under oath. The training to become board certified in child abuse pediatrics began in 2009. According to Woods’ CV, she was still in medical school in at that time.
Woods’ false and misleading testimony didn’t stop with her qualifications. NBC and KING5 report Woods’ testimony as stating,
“There are approximately 250 of us nationwide that function as child abuse consultants and a very small minority of those have received training.”
But, the reporters found there are more than 375 child abuse pediatricians certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in the U.S., and at least three physicians in Washington State have met the qualifications to become board certified.
Woods is not one of them.
The story also reports four cases reviewed by the reporters where CPS took children from parents in which Woods misstated key facts, and there were contradictory opinions from other medical experts who said they saw no evidence of abuse.
Despite these other medical expert opinions and Woods’ lack of training and board certification, CPS and law enforcement in Washington continue to allow Woods’ incredible influence over their decisions to remove children from their homes and pursue criminal charges.
Dr. Niran Al-Agba, a pediatrician in Washington, and one of the contradictory opinions in one of the cases, is quoted as saying,
“That’s what bothers me so much about this whole case is that they wrote they took her opinion because she has extensive training. Where’s the extensive training? I’m still dumbfounded.”
She isn’t the only one dumbfounded.
The Carters continued to wonder how and why their lives were sent into a nightmare by the claims of one doctor. But the claims of abuse were not the only things Woods did against this family; they were was just the beginning.
Difficult Premature Birth Leads to Medical Intervention
Ellie Carter was in and out of Mary Bridge since birth when she was born severely premature at 24 weeks. This resulted in Ellie having developmental delays and chronic health problems, which include serious breathing and digestive difficulties, all confirmed by medical doctors at Mary Bridge by way of medical records.
After four years of treatment by doctors at Mary Bridge, it wasn’t until around five months after Woods started as director of the child protection team that any concerns ever arose regarding the care and treatment she was receiving from her mother, a former nurse and stay-at-home-mom.
Woods started at Mary Bridge around November 2017. In the spring of 2018, CPS first entered the Carters’ lives when they showed up at Ellie’s hospital room, where she was being hospitalized for an infection, and told Ms. Carter concerns have been raised about her ability to continue caring for her daughter. Weeks passed and nothing ever came of this initial report.
By early May, 2018, Ellie was still being hospitalized while her body continued to fight the infection. It was at this time Woods requested to speak with Mrs. Carter to inform her she was no longer allowed to be alone with her daughter due to:
“Unresolved concerns about Ellie’s medical care, and a nurse or other hospital, medical staff would supervise her at all times, and the room would be monitored by video.”
The supervision and video surveillance went on for another six weeks while Ellie continued to be hospitalized. She was starting to show signs of recovery when social workers showed up again wanting to speak with Mr. and Mrs. Carter privately.
The Carters were taken to another room where two police officers were waiting to escort Mrs. Carter out of the hospital.
Unbeknownst to the Carters, Woods had contacted CPS again, claiming Ellie was,
“A confirmed victim of medical child abuse,” reports NBC and KING5.
The reporters go on to explain that in the message Woods gave to the authorities she had video evidence of Mrs. Carter tampering with her daughter’s medicine, yet no one explained this to the parents at that time.
This accusation led a judge to grant CPS request to place Ellie and her older brother into protective custody. The court order stated Mrs. Carter would not be allowed to live in the same home as her children and could not be around them unless she was supervised.
After Ellie was finally discharged, the family continued to cooperate with the court order.
Unfortunately, Woods wasn’t satisfied with the court order prompting her to write CPS officials and the prosecutor assigned to the case, recommending them to restrict Mrs. Carter’s contact with her children even more. Woods’ recommendation was to not allow Mrs. Carter any contact with her children, but the authorities refused.
According to NBC and KING5, Woods wrote,
“My request was for a change in supervision to a no contact order which I was informed could not be granted.”
Woods, intent on keeping the family separated based on her opinion alone, with no other physician or hospital staff that knew the family and treated Ellie for the previous 4 years, now set her focus on Mr. Carter by trying to get him to stop contact with his wife.
Woods’ plan for achieving her new goal was by using the alleged video evidence again in the hope Mr. Carter would turn on his wife.
According to the news story, Woods contacted Mr. Carter directly while Ellie was still in the hospital claiming she had video proof of his wife committing a crime, but she wouldn’t elaborate on these accusations, nor would she show him the alleged video evidence.
Finally, Woods told Mr. Carter the hospital would not discharge Ellie into his care unless he obtained a restraining order against his wife. This would accomplish Woods’ goal of Mrs. Carter having no contact with her children.
Woods, without having any of this alleged video evidence, continued to try to manipulate Mr. Carter by telling him the court order obtained by CPS wasn’t good enough and his wife was dangerous.
Mr. Carter recalled, along with notes Woods had written regarding this conversation, he was told by Woods,
“Even while supervised, Carter could hurt Ellie with a doctored glass of water or piece of candy.”
Reporters found other cases where Woods made accusations and recommendations that went beyond her role as a doctor.
In one case she claimed to know who committed the abuse despite having no admission or evidence to support the claim.
In another case that involved twins, Woods concluded the only way the twins’ injuries could have occurred other than abuse was by a motor vehicle collision. Yet, three other physicians who reviewed the case all concluded the same thing, which was the twins suffered from a mineral deficiency that led to weak bones and easy fractures.
In the case that involved Dr. Al-Agba, where Woods made her finding of abuse based solely on photos and never having examined the child, CPS notes indicate Woods reported having 14 years of experience related to child abuse. The agency cited this fact in its decision to classify the marks as inflicted, but 14 years prior to this allegation Woods was still in medical school, not a graduate of medical school, and certainly not a licensed physician.
NBC and KING5 reported Dr. Al-Agba questioned the claims of Woods’ experience and raised concerns about her lack of training with officials at both CPS and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, both of which brushed Dr. Al-Agba’s concerns aside.
A year went by with the Carter family being separated when they finally got to trial where, for four days, Woods testified she believed, “all of Ellie’s medical issues” were the result of medical abuse.
Despite Ellie being born so premature and requiring medical care, Woods continued to claim only Mrs. Carter witnessed Ellie’s seizures, and Ellie had been weaned off her anti-seizure medicine; medical records show otherwise.
Under oath, Woods testified Ellie “wolfed down” a McDonald’s Happy Meal after Mrs. Carter was removed from the hospital.
Upon cross examination, Woods finally admitted she didn’t witness the Happy Meal incident, and she couldn’t provide the name of the hospital staff member who had.
To the contrary, other members of the medical staff testified they did not believe Ellie would have eaten a whole Happy Meal, because she continued to have difficulty eating months after Mrs. Carter was removed from Ellie’s care.
There is still the alleged video surveillance evidence Woods claimed proved Mrs. Carter was abusing Ellie. Woods testified the video showed Mrs. Carter,
“Secretly dumping medication from a syringe after pretending to administer it.”
When lawyers played the video for the doctor who supervised Ellie’s care, along with other witnesses, they all agreed the video showed no such thing.
Also, there were two members of the hospital staff in the room at the time of this alleged incident, neither of which reported any wrongdoing by Mrs. Carter.
The case had overwhelming evidence, but the evidence didn’t support the allegation of abuse made by Woods. It did show overwhelming evidence Woods misled CPS, and the courts, with her false reports, and continued to mislead the courts with her false testimony.
The judge agreed Woods was being dishonest and misleading when she wrote in her 26-page report, provided by NBC and KING5, dismissing the case against the Carters, and “rebuked the doctor who initiated it.”
The judge wrote,
“Most of Woods’ testimony was without factual bases.”
And, Woods’ conclusions were,
“Not plausible” and “speculations at best.”
Restraining Order Against Doctor Needed
It took only two weeks after the judge dismissed the case against the Carters, while admonishing Woods with the report, that the Carters received a knock at their door.
A worker with CPS and a police officer where waiting outside their home.
The worker told the Carters CPS had received two new reports from members of the child abuse intervention team at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, but Ellie hadn’t been seen or treated by anyone at the hospital for more than six months.
This report stated Mrs. Carter was giving Ellie unnecessary oxygen treatments, but medical and billing records prove Ellie hasn’t received oxygen treatments in more than a year.

The physician who made the report didn’t stop with the oxygen treatments, but also told CPS, “There is a long history of medical child abuse,” and urged CPS to bring Ellie to Mary Bridge for an evaluation.
The Carters refused and showed the authorities the dismissal paperwork from the court which led to the CPS worker and officer leaving without any action.
Mr. Carter then contacted his attorney and decided it was time to take out a restraining order against Woods.
What could happen to Doctor Woods?
After all the Carter family went through when one physician decided to commit a long list of medically unethical and illegal actions, the physician is still covered by total immunity from both civil and criminal liability.
Even if Woods receives reprimand or disciplinary action from Mary Bridge, it doesn’t guarantee she will receive disciplinary action from the Washington Medical Commission, the medical board that governs and gives medical licenses to physicians for the state of Washington.
Unfortunately, because every state has their own licensing board, if a physician has a disciplinary action taken against them, or even has their license revoked completely by the state’s medical board, they can simply move to another state, apply for a new license, and because there is rarely a background check done, a new license is given allowing the physician to start practicing as if nothing happened.
How many families are being devastated by child abuse pediatricians, or any physician for that matter, who act with this type of misconduct, have disciplinary actions or termination from a hospital, but simply move to another state and start practicing with a clean slate?
How many physicians are providing false information on their CV so they can become the director of a team and be given so much credibility by hospital staff, CPS, law enforcement and the courts?
It is clear there needs to be oversight and accountability for child abuse pediatricians and anyone claiming to have “expertise” and “experience” in the field. This sub-specialty has become a runaway train with no one questioning how or when it will stop because it continues to claim it is essential and beneficial for the protection of children.
Separating a child from a loving family is, in itself, considered abuse and causes harm to the child and the family unit.
If you or someone you know has been harmed by a physician, you can file a complaint with your state’s licensing board. To get information for your state, the AAPA has provided a list of licensing boards by state.

In case you plan to rush out and get a flu vaccine , you might want to read this abstract , and also share with your pro vaccine friends .
It appears that getting a flu vaccine will make you more prone to coronavirus infection .

My interpretation of this is that when you receive (or your child) a vaccination, your immune system is artificially deranged by the vaccine so that it will not respond normally to secondary challenge.

“…vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as vaccine interference”
Please read. My heart goes out to the millions of children whose immune systems have been tampered with by forced vaccination.
Vaccine – Jan. 2020
PURPOSE:
Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference. Test-negative study designs are often utilized to calculate influenza vaccine effectiveness. The virus interference phenomenon goes against the basic assumption of the test-negative vaccine effectiveness study that vaccination does not change the risk of infection with other respiratory illness, thus potentially biasing vaccine effectiveness results in the positive direction. This study aimed to investigate virus interference by comparing respiratory virus status among Department of Defense personnel based on their influenza vaccination status. Furthermore, individual respiratory viruses and their association with influenza vaccination were examined.
RESULTS:
We compared vaccination status of 2880 people with non-influenza respiratory viruses to 3240 people with pan-negative results. Comparing vaccinated to non-vaccinated patients, the adjusted odds ratio for non-flu viruses was 0.97 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86, 1.09; p = 0.60). Additionally, the vaccination status of 3349 cases of influenza were compared to three different control groups: all controls (N = 6120), non-influenza positive controls (N = 2880), and pan-negative controls (N = 3240). The adjusted ORs for the comparisons among the three control groups did not vary much (range: 0.46-0.51).
CONCLUSIONS:
Receipt of influenza vaccination was not associated with virus interference among our population. Examining virus interference by specific respiratory viruses showed mixed results. Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus and human metapneumovirus; however, significant protection with vaccination was associated not only with most influenza viruses, but also parainfluenza, RSV, and non-influenza virus coinfections.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that a new proposed bill has just passed the Georgia State House of Representatives “that would make it illegal for foster parents to have sexual contact with children they are caring for.”
It is House Bill 911 sponsored by Republican state Representative Ed Setzler.
Health Impact News supports Rep. Setzler’s bill, but we disagree with his published statement that these situations are “rare instances where a foster parent has inappropriate sexual contact with those in his or her care.”
Statistics show that the U.S. Foster Care system is the main pipeline for child sex trafficking, and is not that rare at all. See:
Georgia House backs ban on foster parents’ sex with kids in their care

Excerpts:
The Georgia House approved legislation that would make it illegal for foster parents to have sexual contact with children they are caring for.
The legislation is part of a package of bills backed by Gov. Brian Kemp as he aims to overhaul the state’s foster care system.
House Bill 911 would make it illegal for a foster parent to engage in a sexual activity with those in their care, closing a loophole the legislation’s sponsor said exists once a child in foster care turns 16 — Georgia’s legal age of consent.
Acworth Republican state Rep. Ed Setzler said, in the rare instances where a foster parent has inappropriate sexual contact with those in his or her care, there currently is no legal recourse.
“Over the last number of years we’ve passed bills to prohibit teachers, counselors, probation officers, medical personnel from having sexual contact with people under their care,” said Setzler, who sponsored the bill. “This bill simply closes the loophole in prohibiting foster parents from having inappropriate sexual contact with their foster kids.”
