Fukushima Radiation, Mutation and Birth Defects in the USA


Fukushima Radiation, Mutation and Birth Defects in the USA
Mysterious Birth Defects Cluster in Washington and Hawaii



by Jeanice Barcelo
 



Anecdotal evidence clearly indicates that birth defects are on the rise in Hawaii and Washington State. It seems obvious -- at least to me -- that these birth defects correlate with radiation poisoning. Yet "experts" can't seem to put the pieces of the puzzle together and many residents are in complete denial as well. Why?

Why are we refusing to look at The Truth? Shouldn't the "experts" be doing whatever they can to clean up the environment and warn parents about the dangers of radioactive poisons? How about teaching people how to detox their bodies and their soil from radioactive contamination?

The pain involved in giving birth to a child with birth defects is unmeasurable. And that pain is as much for the parents as it is for the child.

It's time for a revolution in this country. Since they are all refusing to do the right thing, all levels of government need to be extinguished.


Source Article by J. D. Heyes:
Surge in babies born without brains in Washington State


"There is something seriously wrong in the fertile Yakima Valley region of Washington. A surging number of babies are being born with major birth defects, and the reasons why are eluding state health officials.

As reported by CNN, a nurse in the area, Sara Barron, was the first to report on a particularly horrifying condition: anencephaly -- a condition in which babies are born without much of their brain and skull.

"I was just stunned," she told the network in an interview. "Three in a couple-of-month period of time... that’s unheard of, and they have such tragic, terrible outcomes."

Her shocking finding and report eventually prompted an investigation by the state health department. Investigators found some disturbing results.

Over a three-year period, there were 23 cases concentrated in three southern Washington counties -- Yakima, Benton and Franklin. That’s a rate (8.4 per 10,000 live births) that is four times the national average (2.1 per 10,000 live births), CNN reported.

What could be causing such a phenomenon? Is it just one of those weird coincidences, or is something more sinister at play?

Mandy Stahre, with the Washington State Department of Health, conducted the investigation into the high rates of anencephaly. She says she and other investigators are stumped.

"We have not found an answer, and that’s a very frustrating part, because this is such a devastating diagnosis for a woman to have," she told CNN.

Barron, however, says she wonders if state health authorities did not find anything because they didn’t look hard enough at all possible causes.

’We have to weigh how invasive we want to be’

For one thing, she said, the health department has not spoken to any of the parents of the babies who had birth defects. So they don’t know what the parents may have eaten, or what environmental conditions they have been exposed to, or what kind of chemicals or substances they all might have come in contact with -- like, perhaps, the pesticides that are routinely sprayed in the heavily agricultural region in which they live.

Andrea Jackman, whose daughter Olivia was born with spina bifida, another type of neural tube defect, said she wasn’t asked anything by state investigators.

"Nobody’s asked me anything," she told the network.

So, exactly how did the state conduct its investigation? Stahre said investigators examined data in each parent’s medical record -- what sort of prescription drugs they were taking and preexisting medical conditions.

"The study examined medical records from January 2010 through January 2013 and looked at possible risk factors including family history, pre-pregnancy weight, health risk behaviors such as supplemental folic acid and medication use, and whether the woman’s residence received drinking water from a public or private source. No significant differences were found when comparing cases of anencephaly with healthy births in the three county area," said a health department press release.

"But medical records don’t have details about diet or pesticide exposure," CNN’s Elizabeth Cohen reported, "two key considerations for this type of birth defect."

Indeed, the health department -- in its press release -- even admitted: "Medical record reviews might not have captured all information, preventing a cause from being identified."

So why not talk to the mothers?

"Well, we have to weigh that," said Stahre. "This is a devastating diagnosis, and we know that for a lot of these women, they had to make some hard choices. We do have to weigh about how invasive we want to be with these types of reviews."


Engineered end of humanity?

At least one mother -- Jackman -- said she would have "been fine" with being questioned
. She wants answers so that other mothers don't have to go through the same thing.

On the surface, this looks like yet another example of poisoning that Natural News editor and founder Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, wrote about recently when he said humanity doesn't stand a chance of surviving this onslaught of corporate-sponsored genocide:

After having now analyzed over 1,000 foods, superfoods, vitamins, junk foods and popular beverages for heavy metals and other substances at the Natural News Forensic Food Labs, I have arrived at a conclusion so alarming and urgent that it can only be stated bluntly.

Based on what I am seeing via atomic spectroscopy analysis of all the dietary substances people are consuming on a daily basis, I must now announce that the battle for humanity is nearly lost. The food supply appears to be intentionally designed to end human life rather than nourish it.




Aloha Governor, Legislators, Health & Ag Depts.

I wanted to pass on this update on one of the five Kaua'i infants, (that I know of, - plus two more on Maui) born with their intestines outside of their bodies. (gastroschisis) These babies will have to undergo many surgeries to correct the problem. Five of these cases are too many for a small island. Something is wrong - a state of emergency should be declared.

These young families have had to leave Hawai'i for care they can't get here. Alone in a strange land dealing with life threatening emergencies to their babies, with little family support - through no fault of their own.

You may want to look away and not believe it - but there are many credible studies linking this horrendous injustice that is happening on Kaua'i, right now... to atrazine and a witches brew of toxic chemicals sprayed on Kaua'i almost daily. And this is not even mentioning the many reports of seizures, birth defects, (THAT OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS FAILED TO TRACK for nearly ten years!) ...and the cancers.

This is just ONE true story of what our legislature is ALLOWING to happen. It's as sickening as it is insane. We are monsters - if we do nothing, and look the other way.

I can't begin to tell you how sad and angry this photo makes me feel. What is happening to the people of Kaua'i, (Molokai, Maui, & O'ahu) is inhumane.
Shame on us if we do not DEMAND some answers from our 'leaders'…

Fukushima Spring: 50% Genetic Damage found at Trader Joe’s

 

 
Fukushima Spring 50 percent Genetic Damage found at Trader Joe's

Perusing the floral section in the supermarket is usually the first thing on my grocery list these days. For the past 3 years I have documented genetic damage not only plants growing locally in SE Michigan, but in domestic and imported plants, fruits, and produce being sold to the public. Some of my best finds have come from items grown along the Pacific Coast, and this week a recent shipment of spring bouquets and potted plants at Trader Joe’s proved the same is still happening, as I suspected it would.

IMG_20140401_172905First, I comb through the bouquets, camera in hand. I look at the most obvious part of the plant, the flower head including petals and center. If I can spot a mutation, I check the stem and related leaves included. I look for color anomalies as well, as we know from past research mutations in color genes is another known effect of exposure.

spiralslogarithmicDuring normal plant growth, the cells are self-organizing and grow in a symmetric pattern, following the Fibonacci Sequence of phyllotaxis. Phyllotaxis is the study of fractions and spirals in plants, which includes fruit and flower number, divergence angles, and petal numbers and formation. This pattern allows the plant to use the least amount of energy needed for amazingly rapid growth to maturity. Once the plant has reached it’s full potential, the perfect geometry of a plant allows it to absorb the sun’s rays and collect rainwater as efficiently as possible, channeling it to the stem for nourishment. Plato, Fibonacci, and Johanes Kepler all made contributions to the discovery and application of the Golden Ratio in nature. It appears in many aspects of our everyday world, including hurricanes, ram horns, spider webs, and snail shells, and even in the arrangement of our facial features. Also, take a look at our galaxy from above…we live in a Fibonacci Sequence. Our world is filled with many mysteries that scientists and mathematicians alike are working to figure out if this was just a coincidence, or something else. For whatever reason, it’s how normal plants grow, and it is also how we distinguish the normal from the mutated.

Damage to the DNA of the plant cells will disrupt this geometric growth pattern, leading to any number of mutational expressions such as conjoining, fasciation, gigantism, albinism, or other anomalies. These are known effects from decades of experimentation and research in areas of previous radioactive contamination, such as the areas around the Chernobyl accident and Three Mile Island.

After sorting through bouquets, I move on to the potted plants. Gerbera Daisies in the past have yielded a surprising number of mutations in flower heads, stems, and leaves, and this week was no different. I suspect this is because they are closely related to Sunflowers, or Helianthus annuus , which are notorious for their ability to remove radioactive Cesium from soil. This particular batch of Gerberas came from British Colombia, Canada. The domesticated cultivars are mostly a result of a cross between Gerbera jamesonii and another South African species Gerbera viridifolia.  


 PART_1396493009579It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world (after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip). It is also used as a model organism in studying flower formation. Out of 18 potted Gerbera’s on this particular day at Trader Joe’s, more than half of the plants had some obvious evidence of mutation in just the blooms alone. I would venture to bet that if walked into your local Trader Joe’s today and looked carefully at their Gerbera Daisies, that you would have similar findings. If you do, please takes some pictures and share them with us on our new Mutation Map Project. Their colorful beauty also makes them a favorite eye-catching post for people sharing mutation images on social media, and increasing the awareness of genetic damage that is occurring.

I also found mutations in one of my favorite flowers, the perennial desert Sun Star, or Ornithogalum Dubium (which I purchased, and which now sits on my desk). This particular batch was imported from Monrovia, California, where Trader Joe’s also receives much of its vegetables supply including lettuce, kale, celery, and asparagus. They also source these same items from Mexico, which is the only produce I will buy from their store. I would prefer to get mine from Chile or Argentina, but I would have to go to a different store for that, and on this particular day I didn’t have the time, as my main concern was securing a few bottles of their Salsa Verde, which happens to be phenomenal.

IMG_20140403_175148Nature does geometry precisely and efficiently and without much effort, unless genetic damage interferes with the expression of its growth patterns. Considering that Cesium and other man-made toxic isotopes have been found  in US soil, including the Emerald Triangle of Humboldt County — where a large proportion of Medicinal Marijuana is grown – this is quite concerning. Not just for people who are eating produce from the west coast, but for those who are already sick and may be using cannabis to treat severe medical conditions, including cancer.

Using the Precautionary Principle we can further surmise, if you actually care about what you eat and what you feed your family, that unless food is being specifically and rigorously tested for radioactive contamination, any food grown here must be considered suspect, and that is especially true if this food will be eaten by pregnant women, children, or people who are already sick and immune-compromised. As of right now, the only food being checked is by individuals and independent evaluation without any help from our government agencies, although this has always been the purpose of their existence. Instead, they have become gate-keepers of damaging corporate-controlled science, and the gates remain currently closed to evidence or concern about food chain contamination from radioactive fallout. Even a Canadian high school student was able to recently prove in an award-winning science fair project, that Canadian grocery stores are selling contaminated produce to unsuspecting consumers. She will be attending the Canadian Nationals next month in Windsor Ontario to showcase her research. This may become one of the most important high school science fair projects in history, considering the  global implications of nuclear fallout working its way through our food chain.

Over the past 3 years we have been collecting images of mutations in the news, as well as images taken by observant and curious volunteers. We have currently 1340 images in our archive, which will be placed on a map created at Climate Viewer News to track these finds, and more easily correlate their occurrence with weather patterns, and nuclear facilities across the country. In addition to plants we have received images of seeds, squirrels, moths, butterflies, pillbugs, spiders, and birds exhibiting color disruption (mainly albinism) and other curiosities. The images can also be saved and shared by scientists and grad students who undoubtably will be reporting on this as the years progress. At least 2 grad students have already sourced images from this collection to write their final thesis.

IMG_20130725_154842-1To access the map and upload images of your own, go here: https://climateviewer.com/report/reports/view/4

Currently I have placed one beta test image of a Purple Coneflower (Echinacea) with fasciation on the Mutation Map as an example. The rest of our archive will be uploaded in the coming weeks and months, as time allows.

We also encourage people to use their full name if they wish to receive credit if their image is used elsewhere, such as in a scientific journal, lecture, or publication. Out of 1340 submissions so far, only 2 people insisted on keeping their name private.

To see some of this collection you may also visit Mutation Watch on Facebook, which has been our current mode of collection. We will continue to administrate this page as well as the map, and encourage people to share these images on social media. Unfortunately the number of submissions during the growing season was in excess of 10 a day in 2013, and in the interest of time-management and helping keep RadChick’s sanity intact, Jim Lee volunteered to create this crowd-sourced data map to significantly decrease the amount of labelling and archiving that needs to be done, and to properly categorize the enormous amount of submissions in a format that is easily accessible. Please consider contributing news reports as well, such as the recent stories of conjoined grey whale calves in Baja, and news of the horrific rise in mutations occurring  in babies born in South Africa.

Conjoined baby gray whale calves, Baja CaliforniaBeing a resident of Michigan after a long winter, the promise of warmer weather and springtime flowers is a welcome change, although these changes in our environment certainly are not. If mutations are happening in the DNA of plants, it’s happening in the people, too. For every mutation that is visible, there are 10 more that are not, but will express theselves in future generations. We continue to search for labs or individuals with the proper equipment to test these specimens, to determine whether this is primarily radioactive fallout, chemical interference, or a synergistic effect of both. But unless you have access to equipment priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars, accurate testing will be impossible. Even world-renowned animal and plant geneticists who have done extensive studies on the Chernobyl mutations have told me “Good luck getting these plants tested” as the quarantine of information on Fukushima Fallout has spread like a silent, unwanted plague, and government scientists seem to be most infected. 

Testing of individual specimens may or may not yield hard incontrovertible data, as the plant DNA may have been affected from gamma or beta radiation lying around in soil in close proximity to the plant, and not necessarily uptake into the plant structure itself. At any rate, we will keep collecting these images, and continue our search for mutations, as well as finding honest scientists that can assist us in figuring out what has happened to our biosphere to cause this, at what it means for future generations. This is one way to be part of the solution, as we search for ways to mitigate the radioactive fallout from the Fukushima accident, and other nuclear problems.


*Note from RC: I do not wish to single out Trader Joe’s as the sole source of selling mutated plants, as I have checked out numerous other grocery chains all with the same findings…mutated flowers being sold in stores is widespread, and has been confirmed by other researchers in multiple states and locations. However, I have had numerous conversations with the managers at Trader Joe’s including corporate management, and each time I have been met with contempt and disregard for trying to approach them on this subject, even when showing them obvious mutations in produce they are selling, such as celery and fruits, and radiation burns on apples from Washington State. The same has occurred when inquiring about the testing of fish and seaweed products, until fall of last year, when their rhetoric changed but appeared to be heavily censored. At that time, I was told Trader Joe’s is now testing all seafood products, and “Everything is fine”… although further questioning about how this was being conducted, at what part of the distribution process, and with what instrumentation could not be answered. Neither could any data by any type of isotopic analysis, which should be public knowledge in my opinion, or at least shared when specific inquiries are made. I have given them ample opportunity for addressing these issues and they continue to minimize and deny any and all concerns about the safety of the food they are selling in regards to this issue. In discussions with the management of other grocery chains I have been met with far more concern, and often a candid and honest discussion of how to implement widespread food testing without adding further to costs of food distribution. I know this is being thoroughly investigated at least at one large grocery chain, and I hope to see this (for now nameless) grocer implement widespread testing soon, and do so publically. In time, I expect this type of testing will become mandatory, as more people become aware of this situation and demand that it be done, because this issue is not going to go away in our lifetimes.  Unfortunately we may be years away from that type of transparency, and the contamination issues have now been continuous since March of 2011. It also reasons to follow if any large chain implements a radiation testing protocol, that other stores will follow suit, as the competition in grocery chains is fierce in the effort to find, keep and maintain its consumer base.

Stay ahead of the rads on the RadChick Radiation Research and Mitigation page.

Please help us grow our Mutation Map ~ It is the first of its kind ever created, and will be an important future reference for scientists, geneticists, researchers, and inquisitive plant and planet-loving people alike. Eventually we hope to include mutation images from Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Rocketdyne/Simi Valley, and Hanford.

Why Do Pharmaceutical Drugs Injure and Kill So Many People?


Why Do Pharmaceutical Drugs Injure and Kill So Many People?
Are We the Real "Guinea-pigs"?

Drugs and other Medical Treatments Injure and Kill Millions of People:

 

In 2004 a team of scientists reported: "A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good... The total number of iatrogenic deaths [deaths from medical treatment]... is 783,936 [people per year in the USA]. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States." (Full article here)

Similarly, in 1994 a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that modern medicine causes 180,000 deaths each year in the USA. (1) Most of these are caused by prescribed pharmaceutical drugs.

A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that in 1994 in the USA, "2,216,000 hospitalized patients had serious Adverse Drug Reactions and 106,000 had fatal Adverse Drug Reactions, making these reactions between the fourth and sixth leading cause of death." (2)

In other words, modern medicine is officially considered to be a leading cause of death.

These astronomical figures, printed in a conservative medical journal, are in spite of the fact that a large number of pharmaceutical drug damages are never reported or registered.

Since 1961, the total number of "safety-tested" medical preparations marketed worldwide has risen to over 200,000. Approximately 15,000 new preparations are marketed each year, while some 12,000 are withdrawn.(3)

The United States has the greatest annual sickness-care expenditure of any nation; $912 billion in 1993 alone.(4) If money and medical treatment equals health then one would expect the United States to be the healthiest of nations. However, as of 2006 the USA ranks at only number 48 in the world for life expectancy at birth.(5)

Of course, a percentage of drug damages are due to the incorrect administration of drugs by physicians and patients. But how are harmful pharmaceutical drugs allowed onto the market in the first place, and why do we have so much faith in them? Pharmaceutical transnationals defy the intent of laws regulating safety of drugs by bribery, false advertising, unsafe manufacturing processes, smuggling and international law evasion strategies. But most of all they make dangerous drugs appear safe through the use of fraudulent and flexible 'safety-tests', the subject of this article...

 

Fraud in Clinical Trials - Human Tests.

 

Drug companies can easily arrange appropriate clinical trials by paying a researcher to produce the desired results that will assist the intended application of the drug. The incentive for researchers to fabricate data is enormous. As much as $1000 per subject is paid by American companies which enables some researchers to earn up to $1 million a year from drug research.(6) And they know all too well that if they don't produce the desired data, the loss of future work is inevitable. Unfortunately, because of secrecy, most fraud in clinical trials is unlikely to be detected.

However, cases of data-fabrication in clinical trials have been uncovered where, for example, "patients who died while on the trial were not reported to the sponsor....Dead people were listed as subjects of testing... People reported as subjects of testing were not in the hospital at the time of tests..." and where "Patient consent forms bore dates indicating they were signed by the subjects after the subjects had died."(7)

Even if data from clinical trials is not falsified, it is often of little worth, because they are not performed appropriately. Trials involve relatively small numbers of people and the subjects taking part usually do not represent those who will use the drug after its approval; so many harmful effects of a new drug appear only when it has been marketed.

 

Fraud in Vivisection - Animal Tests.


 

In 2004, the British Medical Journal published an article titled "Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans?" It states: "the public often consider it axiomatic that animal research has contributed to the treatment of human disease, yet little evidence is available to support this view." (8) After 150 years of animal research, literally billions of animals used, billions of taxpayer dollars spent, and regular articles in the commercial media that claim animal research benefits humans, this revelation might shock you. Let's look at why one of the world's leading medical journal states "yet little evidence is available to support this view"; the view that animal research has contributed to the treatment of human disease.

The problem of inappropriate and flexible testing of drugs and chemicals, that we saw above regards clinical trials, is even more pronounced with the use of so-called animal 'models'; a practice termed vivisection. For instance, the fact that the animal is relatively healthy before the experiment means that disease and or trauma has to be induced by violent and artificial means. This bears no relation to the spontaneous ways in which humans develop illness, often through a faulty lifestyle and diet.

For example, consider the case of osteoarthritis, a human degenerative disease resulting in grotesque and painful deformities of the joints. How do researchers attempt to mimic human lameness in dogs, cats, sheep and pigs? Joints are beaten with hammer blows, injected with irritating liquids, subjected to ionising radiation and/or dislocated. It is obvious that the resulting fractures, haemorrhages, thromboses, contusions and inflammation bear no relation to human osteoarthritis, "which is a local manifestation of a generalised illness of the collagen."(9)

The fact is, if you had a new possible treatment for humans with cancer would it make sense to test it on humans who do not have cancer? No, because there are tremendous differences in metabolism which would produce very different results. The people without cancer will react very differently to the treatment than the people with cancer. It is even more absurd to think that test results from healthy members of one species, or from those with artificially induced symptoms, can be applied to another species. Drugs tested on such artificially diseased non-human animals cannot possibly yield results relevant to a spontaneous, naturally occurring human disease.

Moreover, there is no true correlation between different species. For example, arsenic kills humans but is harmless to guinea-pigs, chickens and monkeys; Digitalis which is used to lower blood pressure in humans dangerously raises the blood pressure of dogs; Penicillin kills guinea-pigs; Chloramphenicol damages the blood-producing bone marrow in humans, but in no other animal: Many common laboratory animals such as dogs, cats, rats, hamsters and mice, do not require dietary intake of vitamin C. This is because their bodies produce it of their own accord. However, if you deprive humans, guinea-pigs and some primates of dietary vitamin C they will die of scurvy.

There are enough of these species differences to fill a book.(10) In the words of former animal researcher Professor Pietro Croce, "No substance is toxic in itself, but only according to the species."(11)

Not only are there differences between species, but even individuals of the same species react differently to a substance. For example, research carried out at the University of Bremen, published in a paper titled "Problems of activity threshold in pharmacology and toxicology" found:

1. In ionising radiation -- young animals react differently from older ones. In reactions to Tranquillisers -- again, young and old animals react differently.

2. In the common method of testing pharmaceuticals and chemicals, the Lethal Dose 50% test, it was found that in the experiments carried out in the evening almost all the rats died: in those carried out in the morning all of them survived. In the tests carried out in winter, survival rates were doubled in contrast to those carried out in summer. In tests carried out on mice overcrowded together in cages, nearly all of them died, while those carried out on mice in normal conditions, all the mice survived.

The authors of this research, themselves animal researchers, concluded: "If such trifling environmental conditions bring about such widely differing and unforeseeable results, this means that animal experimentation cannot be relied upon in assessing a chemical substance and it is all the more absurd to extrapolate to problems of human health results which are intrinsically wrong."(12)

Numerous medical historians such as Hans Ruesch and Dr. Robert Sharpe, have documented that the true medical progress of the past was achieved through scientific and ethical study of the real world of natural human disease, and not from the artificial world of the experimental animal laboratory.(13) For some medical history, see these articles by Dr Beddow Bayly, by Dr Charles Bell and Hans Ruesch.

 

How Many Pharmaceutical Drugs Do We Really Need?

 

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2490/4121990567_bdd59cb4d4_o.jpgWhy do drug companies rely on such unreliable and dubious methods for testing drugs? The answer is simple. If drugs were tested properly using true scientific methods, such as in vitro cultures of human cells and properly carried out human clinical trials, the vast majority of them would not be approved for marketing because their harmfulness and ineffectiveness would be all too apparent.

For instance, in 1981 the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), published a list of a mere 26 drugs, from the 205,000 marketed drugs, that were considered "indispensable", with 9 being more indispensable than the others.(14) Other medical commissions in Chile 1972, and Sri Lanka 1978, came to similar findings, that there are not more than a few dozen drugs worth keeping. Interestingly, both governments were ousted shortly thereafter by US backed forces. They were replaced with administrations open to American trade and the products of the chemical-pharmaceutical industry.(15)

This should cause anyone who thinks that we need more drugs to reconsider their opinion. It is plain to see that inconsequential and ambiguous methods of drug-testing are essential to protect the astronomical profits of the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Drug Companies Make These Admissions!

 

If you have difficulty accepting this explanation then consider the following statement from Eli Lilly's August 1993 Prozac 20 Consumer Product Information pamphlet:

"There can be no such thing as absolute safety with prescription medicines. Individual patients sometimes react differently to the same dose of the same medicine and it is possible that some unwanted side effects will not be known until a medicine has been widely prescribed for a number of years."

If they admit that even individuals of the same species react differently to an identical product, then why test on other species?

Dr Herbert Gundersheimer, one of many doctors against vivisection, explains:

"Results from animal tests are not transferable between species and therefore cannot guarantee product safety for humans... In reality these tests do not provide protection for consumers from unsafe products, but rather are used to protect corporations from legal liability." (16)

When people are damaged by unsafe products (such as pharmaceutical drugs, industrial and household chemicals, cosmetics ...etc.) and attempt to take legal action, manufacturers can claim to have adhered to "safety" tests and are thus absolved of having consciously marketed a harmful product.

Thalidomide: A Case Example
- on How Drug Companies are Protected by Flexible Unscientific Tests

 

Children of Thalidomide with artificial limbs.
Children of Thalidomide with artificial limbs.

This is what happened in the case of Thalidomide, a drug which after years of extensive animal tests was marketed as a perfectly safe tranquilliser for pregnant mothers. The end result: more than 10,000 grossly deformed babies. During the lengthy trial of the manufacturers in 1970, numerous court witnesses, all animal experimenters, stated under oath that the results of animal experiments are never valid for human beings. (17)

One of these experts was the Nobel Prize winner Ernst Boris Chain who co-discovered the anti-bacterial effects of penicillin. According to the court records on 2 February 1970 he stated:

"No animal experiment with a medicament, even if it is tested on several animal species, including primates, under all conceivable conditions, can give any guarantee that the medicament tested in this way will behave the same in humans: because in many respects the human is not the same as the animal."(18)

Because they had performed the required animal safety-tests, and because these did not show evidence of any danger, the manufacturers of Thalidomide were found not guilty by the court of consciously marketing a harmful drug.

This is the real value of animal experiments. Firstly, they can be manipulated, whether consciously or unconsciously, to produce results favourable to a financial backer.

Consider this statement from Dr Irwin Bross, former Director of the largest cancer research institute in the world, the Sloan-Kettering Institute: "The virtue of animal model systems to those in hot pursuit of the federal dollars is that they can be used to prove anything - no matter how foolish, or false, or dangerous this might be. There is such a wide variation in the results of animal model systems that there is always some system which will 'prove' a point. Fraudulent methods of argument never die and rarely fade away. They are too useful to promoters..." (19)

Secondly, as explained above by Dr Herbert Gundersheimer, animal tests then serve as legal protection for corporations when their products kill and injure people.

It is worthy of note that Professor S.T.Aygun, a virologist at the University of Ankara, who uses only the so-called 'alternative' non-animal research methods, discovered the danger of Thalidomide to humans and Turkey was spared the tragedy.(20)

 

Birth Defects Skyrocket

 

The (incredible) reaction to the Thalidomide tragedy by the pharmaceutical lobby was that it was a 'rare exception' and that it 'emphasises a need for more rigorous animal testing, not less.' This explanation was accepted by most people. So animal testing increased, along with the output of 'safety-tested' drugs. The consequences of this? In the 1950s in the Federal Republic of Germany, 3 out of every 100,000 babies were born malformed. By the 1980s, 500 out of every 100,000 were born malformed.(21) Every year, 1 in 12 babies are born with birth defects in the USAThis is more than a 100-fold increase. 


In the United States birth defects increased more than 350% in 25 years. In the late 1950s, 70,000 American babies were born with birth defects every year. In the 1980s this toll reached 250,000 a year. (22)

The reason for this increase in human birth defects is known. A survey by doctors in West Germany revealed that 61% of malformations in new-born children and 88% of all stillbirths are attributable to the damage caused by drugs taken by the mother during pregnancy. (23)

Remember, all these drugs were marketed after being declared "safe" through extensive animal testing.

Why do people believe so firmly in vivisection? The answer to this lies in their education.

 

Drug Lobby Influence on Education & The Media

 

With many of the world's major drug companies under its control, the Rockefeller organisation has, since the early part of this century, been perhaps the largest single private source of funding for medical science and education in the United States and Britain. It is a major contributor of funding in many other countries. The aim of this lavish funding for our education is to produce a curriculum designed to indoctrinate students with beliefs favourable to the profits of the pharmaceutical-chemical industry. Only colleges and medical facilities that advocate the massive consumption of chemical drugs, "safety-tested" on animals, as the secret to health, are recipients of drug company finance.

Drug companies also exercise a dictatorial influence over the mass-media, through ownership and advertising revenue, as well as upon party politicians through 'donations'. Meanwhile, doctors who heal by inexpensive natural means, thereby threatening pharmaceutical profits, are decried as quacks, driven out of the country or into jail. (24)

Perhaps the most revealing point, however, is that the founder of the Rockefeller dynasty, John D Rockefeller, lived in excellent health to the age of 98 as did his son John D Jr., who died aged 86. What was their secret to a long healthy life? Both attributed this to a frugal diet of natural food, the advice of a homeopathic doctor only, and the complete avoidance of synthetic drugs! (25)

 

In Summary:

 

The most powerful corporations in the world do not want us to know the truth about pharmaceutical drugs and drug-testing even if our lives depend on it. And of course, they do. As the drug companies acknowledge, it means that every time we take a drug or are exposed to chemicals in our food and environment, we are the real guinea-pigs.
