“We Don’t Need This Technology:” Organizers Rally to Stop GMO Mosquito Release in Florida Keys in Memory of Fallen Activist

Residents of the Florida Keys have been locked in a prolonged ideological and civic battle with the British company Oxitec for years now , as the company seeks to release genetically engineered mosquitoes in the otherwise pristine natural area .
While the mosquitoes have been engineered to combat disease , there are strong signs that previous trial runs were actually not successful , and that a stronger form of mosquito was actually created in the process , according to Yale professor Jeffrey Powell .
A vote is expected to be held tomorrow , August 18 , during which the fate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their release into the ecosystem could be decided .
If it swings in favor of the controversial technology , over 500 million of the lab created genetically engineered insects could be released into the Florida Keys , according to activist Barry Wray ’ s website StopGMM.com .

That amounts to about 175,000 per household, all in the name of a scientific experiment that local activists say has not been properly tested for safety and is not necessary, in an area that takes tremendous pride in the preservation of its pristine natural ecosystems and environment.
“It’s Very Concerning What We’re Dealing With Right Now”
With the vote looming on Tuesday, concerned citizens both locally and across the country are being asked to sign the petition against the mosquitoes, before they are released to be tested “in the fragile ecosystem of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary,” the petition, which still needs over 2,000 signatures to reach its goal as of the writing of this article, reads.
With time running low, Wray is rallying the troops to gain as many signatures and as much support as possible.
“It’s problematic…It’s very concerning what we’re dealing with right now,” he said. “We’re trying to motivate our community to be more vocal or energized.”
Wray said he’s hoping to get a large contingent of speakers out to the event as well.
“We would really like to get our point across that the community doesn’t want this,” he said.
While GM companies like Oxitec, which received a $4.1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, have plenty of time to devote to pushing the alleged safety and “benefits” of the lab created novel organisms, activists like Wray are forced to dig into the scientific objections head first, combating a multi-million dollar corporation at the grassroots level through pure elbow grease and determination.
Wray admitted it gets difficult fighting to keep the Keys safe from the GM organisms, but preserving the natural beauty and integrity of the ecosystem is worth fighting for, he and fellow activists believe.
“The company lies, the company obfuscates,” Wray said. “There’s nothing that the wouldn’t do to get (the GMO mosquitoes) tested and released here.”
Despite promises to the contrary, Wray says that emails within Oxitec in the company’s Cayman Research and Control Unit are damning, and “clearly point out that the entire experiment was a complete and utter failure.”
Wray Plans to Honor the Memory of Fallen Activist Who Drowned in Hotel Swimming Pool
Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Wray and his fellow activists are planning to submit at least two petitions: one from the community at-large and supporters around the world, and another from an Key West area activist who won’t be able to make it to this year’s meeting: Mila de Mier, who tragically died face-down in a Washington, D.C. swimming pool on April 11, 2018.
Mier had been planning to deliver a petition signed by over 233,000 people against the GMO mosquitoes in Washington, D.C., and had been preparing to meet with senators and representatives.
“Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do,” she posted April 8 on her Facebook page prior to her trip. “EPA better be ready!!!”
In Mila de Mier’s memory, it’s expected that Wray will present the signatures tomorrow as part of a mountain of evidence, signatures and support in favor of a GMO mosquito-free Florida Keys.
Keeping the mosquitoes out of the keys has been tough sledding in the prior years, but this time, Wray has a mountain of evidence, support and signatures behind him.
“If we can I think it may be over forever, but I don’t know,” Wray said. “If we defeat them again I don’t think they get into the United States.”

althealthworks--2020-08-19--“A Spectacle of Desolation:” Nestlé Faces Lawsuit Over Tons of Dead Fish Found in French River

The Nestlé Foods corporation has made headlines nationwide in recent months over everything from the future of its bottled water enterprise to its commitment to organic coffee in the Dominican Republic , but now the company is in legal hot water yet again .
The latest lawsuit against the company , which is the number one packaged foods conglomerate across the globe , revolves around an alleged environmental disaster caused in the region of France ’ s Aisne River , which flows close to a Nestlé factory in the northeast part of the country .
As local residents await tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disaster , Nestlé is bracing itself for the fallout of an incident that brought death to countless sea animals across an area over four miles long and 30 meters wide .
“ I ’ ve Never Seen Pollution of This Magnitude : ” Thousands of Fish Wash Up Near Nestle Plant According to a report from the BBC , the latest incident caused the deaths of thousands of fish in the area , most likely due to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water , the local prefecture said on Tuesday .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , about 30 miles from Reims , the prefecture said in a statement .
“ We have lodged a complaint against Nestlé France for pollution and violation of article 432.2 of the environmental code , ” said Michel Adam , president of the Ardennes Fishing Federation .

He added that he ’ s never seen pollution to the degree of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We have already recovered three tonnes of dead fish .
But there are still some left .
Some 14 species have been affected , including protected species such as eels and lamprey .

The Nestlé Foods corporation has made headlines nationwide in recent months over everything from the future of its bottled water enterprise to its commitment to organic coffee in the Dominican Republic, but now the company is in legal hot water yet again.
The latest lawsuit against the company, which is the number one packaged foods conglomerate across the globe, revolves around an alleged environmental disaster caused in the region of France’s Aisne River, which flows close to a Nestlé factory in the northeast part of the country.
As local residents await tests that will determine the origin of the disaster, Nestlé is bracing itself for the fallout of an incident that brought death to countless sea animals across an area over four miles long and 30 meters wide.
“I’ve Never Seen Pollution of This Magnitude:” Thousands of Fish Wash Up Near Nestle Plant
According to a report from the BBC, the latest incident caused the deaths of thousands of fish in the area, most likely due to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water, the local prefecture said on Tuesday.
The dead fish were found near Challerange, about 30 miles from Reims, the prefecture said in a statement.
“We have lodged a complaint against Nestlé France for pollution and violation of article 432.2 of the environmental code,” said Michel Adam, president of the Ardennes Fishing Federation.
“Everything died in an area seven kilometers long and 30 meters wide,” Adam said, calculating the damage at between five and six tons of dead fish so far.
He added that he’s never seen pollution to the degree of what he saw this week.
“We have already recovered three tonnes of dead fish. But there are still some left. Some 14 species have been affected, including protected species such as eels and lamprey.
“I have been with the federation for 40 years, I have never seen pollution of this magnitude,” he added.
The Nestlé factory nearby manufactures powdered milk, and said in a statement that there had been an “occasional and involuntary overflow of biological sludge effluent, without the presence of chemicals” from its wastewater treatment plant on Sunday evening.
A dam has been installed to help contain the spread of the pollution, the prefecture said, while volunteer fisherman and firefighters have been working to help clean up the river.
“A Spectacle of Desolation:” Lifelong Fisherman Traumatized By Mass Poisoning Incident
One fisherman named Régis Piette, who has lived in the area since 1991, helped with the cleanup effort after learning about it on social media.
The devastation allegedly caused by Nestlé has been overwhelming for Piette, who says he may have to change locations to continue his business after widespread destruction of several species of fish and aquatic life was discovered, not unlike what has happened in the United States with Monsanto and PCB pollution.
“A river has to be protected, as well as its species, for the good of all,” the frustrated fisherman said to France24.com.
While Nestlé has taken steps to address the many complaints against it, including potentially shedding its bottled water business in the near future, this is one incident that will likely take a long time to shed, especially considering what the many people in the area who depend on the river for their livelihoods are dealing with at the moment.
“The experience was traumatizing and difficult to accept,” Piette said.
“I have never seen pollution like this in the river. The smell of rotting fish was strong and difficult to bear. The strong heat accelerated the decomposition process. The river was carpeted with fish.

althealthworks--2020-08-27--Bill Gates Says He’s “Never Been Involved in Any Sort of Microchip-Type Thing,” But a Quick Check On

Bill Gates Says He’s “Never Been Involved in Any Sort of Microchip-Type Thing,” But a Quick Check On His Website Suggests Otherwise

Do the so-called “ conspiracy theories ” against Bill Gates carry any validity , or are they simply the product of an obsessive social media-driven society with too much time on their hands and an imagination gone wild ?
A quick Google search on “ Bill Gates conspiracy ” brings up page after page of Gates taking his turn in the media spotlight , “ debunking ” these alleged conspiracies through countless interviews .
Fact-checking organizations and newspapers have also rushed to Gates ’ defense over these alleged conspiracies , many of which center around the potential side effects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to give to the entire world , and/or his purported desire to utilize microchip technology as part of his vaccine deployment strategy .
Recently , Gates was invited on the ‘ CBS News with Norah O ’ Donnell ’ program , during which the topic of microchips came up , as well as whether or not Gates wants to include some sort of tracking device in any potential COVID-19 vaccines .
As usual , Gates was given the greenlight to “ debunk ” popular conspiracies against him , but what Gates said about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for anyone with basic reasoning skills who ’ s ever had the chance to poke around the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website for a few minutes .
Gates States He ’ s Never Been Involved in Microchips — But His Foundation Certainly Has Been During the interview , which was published on BusinessInsider.com , Gates attempted to refute conspiracy theories against him by saying the following .
“ I ’ ve never been involved any sort of microchip-type thing , ” Gates said , adding : “ It ’ s almost hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s so stupid or strange.
” But these alleged conspiracy theories against Gates are actually rooted in facts , as a simple search on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website reveals .
A quick search of the word “ microchips ” on the Foundation ’ s website reveals that the Gates Foundation has in fact funded microchip-related projects , including a conditional grant they awarded to Microchips Biotech , Inc. , a company that has now become Daré Bioscience , worth over $ 20 million .
A screenshot of the grant can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article from the website Xconomy.com , the purpose of the grant was “ to design a microchip-based implant for the purposes of birth control.
” “ The contraceptive implant would be gridded with tiny compartments , each containing a small dose of medication—in this case , the hormone levonorgestrel—to be released on a predetermined schedule .
Patients would be able to halt and resume the dosing regimen as needed .
“ That would give the product an advantage over existing methods of contraception because of the increased control it would give for family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sabrina Martucci Johnson said .
Such a product would enable women to avoid extra visits to the doctor ’ s office to have the implant removed as is often with the case with traditional implantable birth control devices .

Gates Foundation Has Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the above technology , the Gates Foundation has previously funded a type of embeddable vaccination ID for children , according to a 2018 article published by Scientific American .
The vaccination ID is a high-tech , implantable device that can be read via a smartphone , and looks suspiciously like a microchip according to the picture below provided by Second Bay Studios , an organization that has designed over 100 covers for several leading scientific journals .
The proposed device was created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists with funding from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quantum dot dye that is delivered , along with a vaccine , by a microneedle patch , ” the article states , along with tiny crystalline microneedles that deliver the dye into the skin .
“ The dye , which is invisible to the naked eye , can be read later using a specially adapted smartphone.

Taking this information into account , the conspiracy theories don ’ t sound so far-fetched after all , no matter how much Gates and the mainstream media profess that they do .
Digital IDs and Vaccinations are 100 % in Play for the Future , And Don ’ t Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise As the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at-large , continue to “ mask up , ” “ shelter in place ” and wait for an end to the coronavirus situation that has dominated world news headlines , the question of whether or not a digital ID is being developed has remained outside of the scope of the mainstream media , and the public consciousness .

The certificates will be designed show who has received vaccines and who hasn ’ t , according to a report from BBC.com .
Whether or not Gates himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as is the question with his microchip-related endeavors , remains to be seen , but one thing ’ s for certain : the rumors about Gates , microchips , digital IDs , and vaccines are far from unfounded , no matter how much the former Microsoft founder denies it and no matter how many stories the mainstream media decides to produce in his favor .

Taking this information into account, it’s easy to see why so many “theories” are popping up as to how Gates and his Foundation could use them in the future.
Digital IDs and Vaccinations are a Very Real Possibility According to Gates Technology
As the United States, and the global community at-large, continue to “mask up,” “shelter in place” and wait for an end to the coronavirus situation that has dominated world news headlines, the question of whether or not a digital ID is being developed has remained outside of the scope of the mainstream media, and the public consciousness.
But behind-the-scenes, the pace of development is expanding rapidly, as the aforementioned technologies demonstrate.
Several states are also considering whether or not to administer mandatory COVID-19 vaccines in the upcoming months.
Meanwhile, Gates and other global thought leaders continue to push for some type of digital vaccine identification system, according to various reports.
“Biometric digital IDs can be a gamechanger,” said Prashant Yadav, a senior fellow at the US-based Center for Global Development. “They can help governments target population segments, verify people who have received vaccination, and have a clear record.”
And while it is not known according to the current media reports, or lack thereof, as to whether or not Gates himself has been involved in this microchip-based “gold rush” toward digital IDs and vaccinating the entire world (perhaps in tandem), he’s not shy about admitting his plans to create digital vaccine IDs.
“We will have some digital certificates,” Gates told Reuters in March.
The certificates will be designed show who has received vaccines and who hasn’t, according to a report from BBC.com.
Whether or not Gates himself will be involved in their production, as is the question with his foundation’s microchip-related endeavors, remains to be seen, but one thing’s for certain: the Gates Foundation has been involved in microchip-type technologies after all, and the information is widely available for anyone to see on its website.

“After Two Weeks, I Feel Like I Can Breathe Again:” Filmmaker Documents Life in Mask-Free, Distancing-Free Sweden

Fears of the coronavirus and COVID-19 have caused a silent mental health crisis from the United States to the Far East and everywhere in between , as billions of people grapple with difficult questions relating to safety , health , and how to best continue their lives in the midst of the chaotic situation .
Human beings are social creatures , and while safety precautions prescribed by politicians including governors , presidents , and other leaders are designed with safety in mind , there is a growing contingent of dissenters who believe that the under-documented side effects of life in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have taken a far greater toll than anyone has dared to question .
Mixed messages and around-the-clock alarmist media coverage and social media commenting , have only served to exasperate the problem , as there appears to be a lack of a uniform message as to how best to handle the situation that aligns with the natural human instincts for socialization , financial security , and healthy , stress-free , clear-minded living .
One thing ’ s for sure , though : it seems as if true health is not longer the real @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting adequate sunlight , movement , rest , and the freedom to pursue happiness and enjoyable social connections ) , and hasn ’ t been for an exceedingly long time .
Now , as Americans pretend to send their children back to the alleged “ new normal ” being thrust upon us by the powers-that-be , millions of people are forgetting what it means to live mask-free , and forgotten what it means to socialize and work face-to-face with their contemporaries on a daily basis , all out of a pervasive fear unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the days of 9/11 .
In order to remind people of what life was like before COVID-19 , one video blogger from Israel documented his own experience traveling to the country that has taken a decidedly different approach : Sweden , which has mostly eschewed the standard precautions taken by the rest of the world , in favor of a “ personal responsibility ” based approach that allows life to continue as normal for those who are not elderly or particularly at-risk for the disease .
“ After Spending Two Weeks Here , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” While Sweden ’ s stance on social distancing and mask-wearing , or lack thereof , has been roundly questioned in the mainstream media , according to filmmaker Arthur Moore , who boasts nearly 200,000 subscribers on YouTube , the feeling in the air is entirely different , and more conducive to health in the Scandinavian country of 10.3 million people .
Moore had visited Israel to receive treatment for a condition that he said put him in a risk category for COVID-19 , but was appalled at what he saw : government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each other amid even the most incidental of mask slippages , and a thick feeling of repression in the air that made life miserable for him .
Upon his arrival in Sweden , however , Moore felt as though things had opened up in a way he hadn ’ t felt in several months .
“ After spending two weeks here , I feel like I can breathe again , ” he says in the short film below , which goes behind-the-scenes of Moore ’ s journey to Sweden , where people congregate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mood is one of freedom and relaxed social distancing policies .
“ So , I ’ ve been in Sweden for the last past three days and , you know , corona doesn ’ t exist here , like people…the place continues as normal .

“ And the more I stay here , the more I realize , wow , it feels like other countries have lost their —-ing mind , that ’ s how it feels.
” Regardless of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approach , which is focused on allowing its healthy population to contract the virus and develop immunity to it naturally while also emphasizing a free and healthy lifestyle , the video below is well worth watching simply to see how the drastically different approach , as well as Moore ’ s skillful portrayal of the country and life in its cities .
He also makes an excellent point in his comparison between prison cells and the devastating effects that social isolation can wreak upon even the most resilient human spirit :

Human beings are social creatures, and while safety precautions prescribed by politicians including governors, presidents, and other leaders are designed with safety in mind, there is a growing contingent of dissenters who believe that the under-documented side effects of life in isolation, and hidden behind masks, have taken a far greater toll than anyone has dared to question.
(See: 600 Physicians send letter to White House Stating Lockdowns are a “Mass Casualty Incident”)
Mixed messages and around-the-clock alarmist media coverage and social media commenting, have only served to exasperate the problem, as there appears to be a lack of a uniform message as to how best to handle the situation that aligns with the natural human instincts for socialization, financial security, and healthy, stress-free, clear-minded living.
One thing’s for sure, though: it seems as if true health is not longer the real focus (building the immune system, getting adequate sunlight, movement, rest, and the freedom to pursue happiness and enjoyable social connections), and hasn’t been for an exceedingly long time.
Now, as Americans pretend to send their children back to the alleged “new normal” being thrust upon us by the powers-that-be, millions of people are forgetting what it means to live mask-free, and forgotten what it means to socialize and work face-to-face with their contemporaries on a daily basis, all out of a pervasive fear unlike anything the United States has seen since the days of 9/11.

“After Spending Two Weeks Here, I feel Like I Can Breathe Again”
While Sweden’s stance on social distancing and mask-wearing, or lack thereof, has been roundly questioned in the mainstream media, according to filmmaker Arthur Moore, who boasts nearly 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, the feeling in the air is entirely different, and more conducive to health in the Scandinavian country of 10.3 million people.
Moore had visited Israel to receive treatment for a condition that he said put him in a risk category for COVID-19, but was appalled at what he saw: government tracking devices everywhere, people shouting at each other amid even the most incidental of mask slippages, and a thick feeling of repression in the air that made life miserable for him.
Upon his arrival in Sweden, however, Moore felt as though things had opened up in a way he hadn’t felt in several months.
“After spending two weeks here, I feel like I can breathe again,” he says in the short film below, which goes behind-the-scenes of Moore’s journey to Sweden, where people congregate in public without masks and the overall mood is one of freedom and relaxed social distancing policies.
“So, I’ve been in Sweden for the last past three days and, you know, corona doesn’t exist here, like people…the place continues as normal. Nobody checks your fever, nobody forces you to put a mask.
“And the more I stay here, the more I realize, wow, it feels like other countries have lost their —-ing mind, that’s how it feels.”
Regardless of how you feel about Sweden’s approach, which is focused on allowing its healthy population to contract the virus and develop immunity to it naturally while also emphasizing a free and healthy lifestyle, the video below is well worth watching simply to see how the drastically different approach, as well as Moore’s skillful portrayal of the country and life in its cities.
He also makes an excellent point in his comparison between prison cells and the devastating effects that social isolation can wreak upon even the most resilient human spirit:

Now that laws have been passed that have effectively squashed common sense, text-based GMO labeling in the United States, it’s more crucial than ever to support organic and non-GMO companies that take the clean food movement seriously.
With so much at stake and new, unregulated GMO technologies on the way such as crops produced with CRISPR (aka gene editing) technology, genetically engineered apples that don’t turn brown, and even genetically engineered animals like GMO salmon, the time is now to reclaim the integrity of our food supply.
In response to the organic movement, massive food conglomerates like General Mills, Coca Cola and Hormel have been buying up many of our favorite organic brands while at the same time shelling out millions to shut down mandatory GMO labeling.
It’s been a good news/bad news situation for consumers: organic options are more available than ever before, but at the same time top watchdog organizations have warned that the label’s standards are in danger of being watered down.
Needless to say, it’s more important than ever to make your organic dollar count.
With that in mind, here are 10 independently owned organic food companies you can still trust in today’s day and age of “organic sell outs.”
10 Independent Organic Companies Worth Supporting
If you can’t always buy direct from local, organic farmers (or grow it yourself), buying from independently owned organic companies is the next best option.
Whether or not these companies will ever “sell out” the way brands like Annie’s, Dave’s Killer Bread, Silk, and others (see list here) will remains to be seen.
But for now, these 10 companies are your best bets:
1. Nature’s Path- Makers of cereal, granola bars and more, Nature’s Path has been independent since 1985, unlike brands like Kashi and Cascadian Farm, now owned by the mega corporations Kellogg’s and General Mills, respectively.
Not only has the British Columbia-based Nature’s Path remained 100% independent, it’s also made headlines for buying up thousands of acres of farmland in Saskatchewan and Montana and converting it to organic.
In addition to its regular line of products, the company offers several gluten-free options including waffles and superfood snack bars (see the full list here).
Nature’s Path is also active in supporting urban farming, environmental and other charitable causes.
2. Lundberg Farms- This popular California-based organic rice company has said “no” to several buyout offers from big corporations, choosing to remain independent and true to its values.
Lundberg uses eco-friendly organic techniques to produce several types of rice ranging from brown rice to more unique organic varieties like jasmine and even gluten-free rice chips.
The company’s operations have continued to expand as the demand for organic rice has grown. But founder Grant Lundberg is unfazed by outside offers and remains committed to producing environmentally food on a large scale.
“You’re a cynic if you say only small companies can … have values, aren’t you?” Lundberg said. “Somehow you have to believe that size doesn’t matter (to do what Lundberg does).”
3. Purium- A relatively new superfoods company, Purium sells a wide range of organic supplements including green juice powders (my favorite is the Power Shake, my favorite thing to drink first thing in the morning), organic tart cherry juice for pain relief and natural melatonin production (helps aid in a restful sleep), a supplement called “BioMedic” designed to cleanse the body from the cancer-causing Monsanto chemical glyphosate, and many more.
Editor’s Note: If you’d like to try the Power Shake, which tastes like a blueberry muffin, the BioMedic glyphosate removing supplement or any others from Purium, click on this link.
You will automatically receive a $50 gift card from AltHealthWorks that you can use toward the purchases of as many of these superfoods as you’d like.
4. Uncle Matt’s- While fresh-squeezed is best, you’ll have a hard time finding a better bottled orange juice than Uncle Matt’s, which is sold in grocery stores across the country.
A supporter of mandatory GMO labeling like many others on this list, the Florida-based company offers truly organic juices without the funny stuff (like artificially enhanced “flavor packs” sometimes used in other “natural” brands).

6. Traditional Medicinals- While many tea companies are packed with mysterious “natural flavors” or even artificial flavors, this company utilizes only organic, truly natural herbs in their formulas.
That makes them a better bet than most tea companies such as Tazo (owned and/or distributed by Starbucks with help from Pepsi and Unilever) for health purposes, as well as for supporting an independent organic company.
You can find Traditional Medicinals at health food stores, online, even in the natural foods section of many supermarkets, with formulas like dandelion root for detoxifying, chamomile tea for relaxing and blends for issues like sore throat relief.
7. Amy’s Kitchen- Whether you’re a fan of frozen food or not, it’s hard to argue with the way this company does business.
Not only have they remained independent and organic despite growing impressively (you can now find them in countless grocery stores), they also found time to create what is believed to be the nation’s first organic fast food restaurant in California (more info here).
If you haven’t tried Amy’s yet, check out their pizzas, mac n’ cheese, soups, and several other unique food options (both vegetarian and vegan), most of which can be found in the frozen food section.
8. Frontier Natural Products- Makers of the Simply Organic spice line as well as Aura Cacia essential oils, you can find the former in grocery and health food stores; the latter is now popping up in drug stores like Rite Aid.
In terms of organic and non-GMO spices, you can’t go wrong with Simply Organic, which produces everything from turmeric to cayenne to cumin and other delicious meal accents. It’s also worth noting that this brand is a far better choice than McCormick’s spices.
While McCormick recently announced their plans to go non-GMO this year, the company has also donated over $500,000 against GMO labeling in the past.
9. Frey Wines- Organic wine can be hard to find, even among the hundreds of varieties offered in stores. But buying wine from a trusted organic source is key: a recent study found glyphosate (a toxic weedkiller) contamination in 100% of wines tested, adding to other concerns such as health-damaging sulfites and even the growing possibility of GMO yeast in wines. The study found some glyphosate residues even in organic wines (brands tested were not named).
While it’s difficult to know whether each bottle contains glyphosate, buying from a trusted organic source is wise, considering that grapes are part of the “Dirty Dozen” of most heavily sprayed crops.
Billing itself as America’s first organic and biodynamic winery, Frey takes environmentalism seriously. The winery is located inside of the Solar Living Institute, a 12-acre project with electric and biofuel stations for cars, solar panels, “extensive organic gardens” and more (as this article notes).
As for the winery itself, Frey’s is an independent maker of organic and biodynamic wines with distributors across the country selling its award-winning reds and whites (with no sulfites added). You can also find their products online.
10. Equal Exchange- A seller of artisan foods ranging from chocolate and coffee to teas and olive oil, this company stands out for its commitment to fair trade principles, small-scale organic farmers and co-ops.
But what makes them especially unique is their children’s fundraising program, allowing parents and kids to raise money for local causes (without supporting unethical candy companies owned by big corporations in the process).

althealthworks--2020-08-27--Bill Gates Says In An Interview He’s “Never Been Involved” With Implantable Microchips — But His Fou

Bill Gates Says In An Interview He’s “Never Been Involved” With Implantable Microchips — But His Foundation Certainly Has Been

Do the so-called “ conspiracy theories ” against Bill Gates carry any validity , or are they simply the product of an obsessive social media-driven society with too much time on their hands and an imagination gone wild ?
A quick Google search on “ Bill Gates conspiracy ” brings up page after page of Gates taking his turn in the media spotlight , “ debunking ” these alleged conspiracies through countless interviews .
Fact-checking organizations and newspapers have also rushed to Gates ’ defense over these alleged conspiracies , many of which center around the potential side effects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to give to the entire world , and/or his purported desire to utilize microchip technology as part of his vaccine deployment strategy .
Recently , Gates was invited on the ‘ CBS News with Norah O ’ Donnell ’ program , during which the topic of microchips came up , as well as whether or not Gates wants to include some sort of tracking device in any potential COVID-19 vaccines .
As usual , Gates was given the greenlight to “ debunk ” popular conspiracies against him , but what Gates said about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for anyone with basic reasoning skills who ’ s ever had the chance to poke around the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website for a few minutes .
Gates States He ’ s Never Been Involved in Microchips — But His Foundation Certainly Has Been During the interview , which was published on BusinessInsider.com , Gates attempted to refute conspiracy theories against him by saying the following .
“ I ’ ve never been involved in any sort of microchip-type thing , ” Gates said , adding : “ It ’ s almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s so stupid or strange.
” But these alleged conspiracy theories against Gates are actually rooted in facts , as a simple search on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website reveals .
A quick search of the word “ microchips ” on the Foundation ’ s website reveals that the Gates Foundation has in fact funded microchip-related projects , including a conditional grant they awarded to Microchips Biotech , Inc. , a company that has now become Daré Bioscience , worth over $ 20 million .
A screenshot of the grant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an article from the website Xconomy.com , the purpose of the grant was “ to design a microchip-based implant for the purposes of birth control.
” “ The contraceptive implant would be gridded with tiny compartments , each containing a small dose of medication—in this case , the hormone levonorgestrel—to be released on a predetermined schedule .
Patients would be able to halt and resume the dosing regimen as needed .
“ That would give the product an advantage over existing methods of contraception because of the increased control it would give for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CEO Sabrina Martucci Johnson said .
Such a product would enable women to avoid extra visits to the doctor ’ s office to have the implant removed as is often with the case with traditional implantable birth control devices .
But the proposed technology would likely be far more advanced and far more intrusive , as this particular implantable device “ could be controlled wirelessly , ” according to the article , bringing a “ smartphone ” type of technology directly into women ’ s sexual and reproductive health .
Gates Foundation Has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Along with the above technology , the Gates Foundation has previously funded a type of embeddable vaccination ID for children , according to a 2018 article published by Scientific American .
The vaccination ID is a high-tech , implantable device that can be read via a smartphone , and looks suspiciously like a microchip according to the picture below provided by Second Bay Studios , an organization that has designed over 100 covers for several leading scientific journals .
The proposed device was created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists with funding from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ quantum dot dye that is delivered , along with a vaccine , by a microneedle patch , ” the article states , along with tiny crystalline microneedles that deliver the dye into the skin .
“ The dye , which is invisible to the naked eye , can be read later using a specially adapted smartphone.
” In other words , if either of these technologies come to fruition , the Gates Foundation will have funded two separate implantable devices to be placed inside the human body to be read or controlled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology aimed at children provides a foundation that would easily allow for microchips and vaccines to be used simultaneously , if the Gates Foundation and its many medical and pharmaceutical companies choose to go forward with it .
Taking this information into account , it ’ s easy to see why so many “ theories ” are popping up as to how Gates and his Foundation could use them in the future .
Digital IDs and Vaccinations are a Very Real Possibility According to Gates Technology As the United States , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask up , ” “ shelter in place ” and wait for an end to the coronavirus situation that has dominated world news headlines , the question of whether or not a digital ID is being developed has remained outside of the scope of the mainstream media , and the public consciousness .
But behind-the-scenes , the pace of development is expanding rapidly , as the aforementioned technologies demonstrate .
Several states are also considering whether or not to administer mandatory COVID-19 vaccines in the upcoming months .
Meanwhile , Gates and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some type of digital vaccine identification system , according to various reports .
“ Biometric digital IDs can be a gamechanger , ” said Prashant Yadav , a senior fellow at the US-based Center for Global Development .
“ They can help governments target population segments , verify people who have received vaccination , and have a clear record.
” And while it is not known according to the current media reports , or lack thereof , as to whether or not Gates himself has been involved in this microchip-based “ gold rush @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire world ( perhaps in tandem ) , he ’ s not shy about admitting his plans to create digital vaccine IDs .
“ We will have some digital certificates , ” Gates told Reuters in March .
The certificates will be designed show who has received vaccines and who hasn ’ t , according to a report from BBC.com .
Whether or not Gates himself will be involved in their production , as is the question with his foundation ’ s microchip-related endeavors , remains to be seen , but one thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foundation has been involved in microchip-type technologies after all , and the information is widely available for anyone to see on its website .

althealthworks--2020-09-03--BREAKING NEWS: Federal Fires Back at FDA Attorneys, Appears Poised to Deny Approval of GMO Salmon

The genetically modified salmon has been the subject of intense debate since it was first approved by the FDA, without long-term human safety testing as is the case with virtually all GMO foods, in 2015.
The organization behind it, a Canadian biotech company named AquaBounty, cheerfully announced the news, and later went on to create a production facility in Indiana, with designs on making the controversial, completely unlabeled product a fixture on the American dinner plate.
In April of this year, the novel, lab-created, genetically engineered fish was approved for its application as an “animal drug” by the FDA, adding to the anticipation that it would reach U.S. dinner plates soon.
But now, a San Francisco-based federal judge appears poised to rule in favor of environmental groups, potentially scoring a huge, much-needed victory for the GMO-free movement.
Federal Judge Scolds DOJ Attorney Over Hasty Approval of GMO Salmon
According to a report from the Courthouse News Service, U.S. District Judge Vincent Chhabria said he’s concerned that the Canadian company may use the FDA’s finding of “no significant impact” to expand its GMO salmon program — before realizing the potential harm it could do to the environment, as well as wild fish in general.
Much like with GMO food crops upon their release in the mid-1990s, the GMO salmon could have serious, unintended long-term consequences on human health and the environment, activists say.
The company has promised to keep its “frankensalmon” from escaping into the wild.
But activists and concerned citizens, including Judge Chhabria, are not sure that’s even possible.
The judge fired back at the FDA, saying that such an approval lead to even more GMO animals reaching the market at record speed.
“I’m not saying it opens the floodgates or sets the standards, but perhaps it pushes us in a direction and future agency action will likely be informed by this agency action,” he said.
“Shouldn’t the FDA in this case have considered the fact that this was the first such facility and future decisions would be building on this facility?”
The company’s original application in 2015 was hit with a lawsuit from the anti-GMO group Center for Food Safety, along with several environmental organizations and trade groups representing the fishing industry.
But if Chhabria rules against them, their ambitious plans will hit an unexpected roadblock — one that could spell an end to one of the biggest and most controversial GMO experiments in history.
Environmental Group Warns: Wild Salmon At Risk if GMO Salmon is Approved
While the company continues to insist its salmon will be kept under wraps, Chhabria wondered whether the FDA’s environmental assessment could lead to the future approval of more AquaBounty facilities in the future.
Marissa Piropato, a justice department attorney representing the FDA, said that there is “no guarantee the FDA is going to accept whatever comes down the pike.”
But activists and environmental groups remain wary, especially considering the countless rubber-stamp approvals of potentially harmful GMO foods that have been passed down in recent years.
“You seem to be saying we should be sticking our heads in the sand because there are no concrete plans to build more facilities,” Chhabria said in response to Piropato, adding that the FDA’s environmental assessment “is going to be their starting point for looking to regulatory approval for future actions.”
Lawyers from the environmental groups remain skeptical that products like the GMO salmon will ever be fairly regulated, and called for Chhabria to cancel the FDA’s “outdated” 2015 assessment while forcing them to perform a new one.
“Whatever they do here is going to inform the approval for those other applications and is going to inform what the FDA does for all GE animals going forward,” Earthjustice attorney Brettny Hardy said in a phone call to Courthouse News Service.

U.S. Government Will Begin Survey This Fall to Decide Whether to Add the Bumblebee to the Endangered Species List

It ’ s common knowledge that the bee population in the United States has struggled in recent years , in large part due to toxic , pesticide-intensive farming practices that show no signs of slowing .
While the U.S. is buying organic food in increasingly larger amounts , the vast majority of all organic food purchased comes from other countries , leaving our own farmland to wallow in a sea of chemicals like glyphosate and its Roundup weed killer formulation , 2 , 4-D , dicamba , and many others .
An August 2019 study found that U.S. farmland is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bees than before genetically engineered crops ( also known as GMOs ) were first introduced , adding to the plight of these vitally important pollinators .
Now , a new study has confirmed that things really are as bad as we thought they were , and potentially even worse , as the United States government braces itself for a study that could confirm our worst fears .
U.S .
Fish and Wildlife Service Could Place Bees on Endangered Species List Soon The United States Fish and Wildlife Service could place bees on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ species status assessment this coming fall , according to a report from the Deseret News , the longest running newspaper in Utah .
This particular assessment will determine whether bumblebees need federal protection or not in the coming months .
Already , the western bumblebee has declined as much as 93 % since 1998 , a troublesome statistic that shows little sign of reversing .
Bumblebees are not only vital to the pollination of our favorite and most important food crops , but also play an integral role as pollinators .
“ They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pollination services for our food crops , ” said Tabitha graves , senior author of the study .
“ Seventy to 80 % of flowering plants and crops are pollinated by animals overall .
Pollination contributes to $ 20 billion in agriculture in the United States.
” Bees are also vital to the pollination of wild foods that animals like bears depend on , including wild berries like the huckleberry .
Aside from pesticides , habitat fragmentation , a warming climate and pathogens are also being blamed for the bee decline , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time GMO crops , which are engineered in a lab to withstand large sprayings of Roundup and other chemicals , were introduced .

An August 2019 study found that U.S. farmland is now almost 50 times more toxic to bees than before genetically engineered crops (also known as GMOs) were first introduced, adding to the plight of these vitally important pollinators.
Now, a new study has confirmed that things really are as bad as we thought they were, and potentially even worse, as the United States government braces itself for a study that could confirm our worst fears.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Could Place Bees on Endangered Species List Soon
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service could place bees on the endangered species list sometime after completing its species status assessment this coming fall, according to a report from the Deseret News, the longest running newspaper in Utah.
This particular assessment will determine whether bumblebees need federal protection or not in the coming months.
Already, the western bumblebee has declined as much as 93% since 1998, a troublesome statistic that shows little sign of reversing.
Bumblebees are not only vital to the pollination of our favorite and most important food crops, but also play an integral role as pollinators.
“They contribute a lot of money in terms of pollination services for our food crops,” said Tabitha graves, senior author of the study.
“Seventy to 80% of flowering plants and crops are pollinated by animals overall. Pollination contributes to $20 billion in agriculture in the United States.”
Bees are also vital to the pollination of wild foods that animals like bears depend on, including wild berries like the huckleberry.
Aside from pesticides, habitat fragmentation, a warming climate and pathogens are also being blamed for the bee decline, which began in the 1990s — the same time GMO crops, which are engineered in a lab to withstand large sprayings of Roundup and other chemicals, were introduced.

“There is nothing sustainable about the widespread use of highly hazardous pesticides for agriculture,” said Baskut Tuncak, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on toxic substances earlier this year.
The organization has released multiple reports calling for a switch to organic and biodynamic agriculture, stating that GMO and conventional agriculture is not needed to “feed the world.”
“Whether they poison workers, extinguish biodiversity, persist in the environment, or accumulate in a mother’s breast milk, these are unsustainable, cannot be used safely, and should have been phased out of use long ago.”

althealthworks--2020-09-04--Tennessee Woman Who Was Never Tested and Died Sixth Months Ago Gets Letter Informing Her That She is

Tennessee Woman Who Was Never Tested and Died Sixth Months Ago Gets Letter Informing Her That She is COVID-19 Positive

The coronavirus situation has prompted wholesale societal changes at every level , leading many to proclaim that wearing masks , social distancing and avoiding face-to-face human contact should be the “ new normal.
” But recently , stats directly from the CDC ’ s own website have contradicted the prevailing media-given numbers that make it seem as if all coronavirus-related deaths are caused directly by the virus , placing the number of deaths attributed only to the virus at a paltry 6 % .
The other 94 % had at least one , or multiple co-morbidities , casting doubt on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cause .
Meanwhile , the mainstream media chorus has once again taken upon itself to “ debunk ” such theories , while lines in the sand are being drawn between those who believe the mainstream narrative and those who think the virus is being overblown .
Regardless of your opinion in this arena , it ’ s well worth knowing the growing list of inconsistencies , major hiccups , false positives , and other coronavirus testing snafus that have popped up in recent months .
One of the most glaring ones occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a son who lost his mother way back in February is now openly questioning the accuracy of the local health department following a laughingly incorrect COVID-19 test result that must be heard to be believed .
According to a report from ABC Local 24 in Memphis , a Shelby County , Tennessee man is questioning the local health department after he received a letter saying his mother Sandra is COVID-19 positive , even though she passed away in February .
Troy Whittington said he was surprised upon opening the letter and knew it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no testing being conducted at the time .
“ I ’ m just having a hard time understanding how they can say someone has COVID-19 when they are not even alive , ” Whittington said about the letter , which told him his mother needed to isolate .
Sandra Whittington died on February 16 , weeks before the first case of the disease was detected in Shelby County .
“ It ’ s been 6 months , almost 7 , since she passed away .
There was no testing that was done at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was stated she died , what the cause of death was , and it was not COVID-19 .
It was COPD , ” he said according to the news station ’ s report .
Sandra had fought a long battle with COPD and was considered to be in Stage 4 when she died in hospice at the home of a friend .
When Troy called the health department , he was told his mother took a COVID test on June 20 , which was impossible considering she had been cremated .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this morning , ask them why this was going on .
She said she would have to get a supervisor .
She was sorry for the mistake or she couldn ’ t tell me any information till she got a supervisor , and I haven ’ t heard back from them.

One of the most glaring ones occurred recently in Memphis, Tennessee, as a son who lost his mother way back in February is now openly questioning the accuracy of the local health department following a laughingly incorrect COVID-19 test result that must be heard to be believed.
Woman Who Died in February Receives Positive COVID-19 test Result
According to a report from ABC Local 24 in Memphis, a Shelby County, Tennessee man is questioning the local health department after he received a letter saying his mother Sandra is COVID-19 positive, even though she passed away in February.
Troy Whittington said he was surprised upon opening the letter and knew it was false, saying that there was no testing being conducted at the time.
“I’m just having a hard time understanding how they can say someone has COVID-19 when they are not even alive,” Whittington said about the letter, which told him his mother needed to isolate.
Sandra Whittington died on February 16, weeks before the first case of the disease was detected in Shelby County.
“It’s been 6 months, almost 7, since she passed away. There was no testing that was done at that time. On her death certificate it was stated she died, what the cause of death was, and it was not COVID-19. It was COPD,” he said according to the news station’s report.
Sandra had fought a long battle with COPD and was considered to be in Stage 4 when she died in hospice at the home of a friend.
When Troy called the health department, he was told his mother took a COVID test on June 20, which was impossible considering she had been cremated.
“I tried to call the health department this morning, ask them why this was going on. She said she would have to get a supervisor. She was sorry for the mistake or she couldn’t tell me any information till she got a supervisor, and I haven’t heard back from them.”
Whittington said the situation makes him question all COVID-19 test results, not just those of his mother. Several inaccuracies and false positives have been reported across the country recently, including in Fort Myers, Florida where one coronavirus testing lab initially reported entirely positive results, which they had actually been instructed to do by state officials before local whistleblowers realize what was going on and forced them to report negative test results as well.
In response to the Tennessee incident, the Shelby County Health Department issued the following response.
“Dr. Haushalter is reaching out to Mr. Whittington to apologize on behalf of the Health Department about the mistake and the additional pain it might have caused the family. She also states that new protocols will be put in place to make sure a mistake like this doesn’t happen again in the future.”
