ANTI-PROPAGANDA

‘The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new cancer drug that allegedly treats the deadly side effects caused by another popular cancer drug. The new drug, Voraxaze (glucarpidase), is said to expel methotrexate, a commonly prescribed and highly toxic chemotherapy drug, from the body. But Voraxaze comes with its own set of harmful side effects, which shows that approving drugs to treat the side effects of other drugs is an endless, but highly profitable, cycle of toxicity.

Methotrexate’s known side effects include kidney and liver destruction, skin rashes, mouth sores, damaged intestines, and death. The drug often lingers in the body following cancer treatments, as weakened organs become increasingly incapable of expelling it from the body. So to “fix” this problem, the FDA has decided to approve another drug that it says breaks down methotrexate and eliminates it from the system.

But Voraxaze, which is made from genetically-modified (GM) enzymes, carries with it harmful side effects of its own, including hypertension, arrhythmia, allergic dermatitis, nausea, and vomiting. And these are just the short-term side effects observed among a small clinical trial group of just 290 patients, which is the only trial that has been conducted evaluating the safety of Voraxaze.

Worse, Voraxaze received “fast-track” approval from the FDA based on a single clinical study of just 22 patients, which allegedly evaluated the drug’s effectiveness. By all reasonable scientific standards, a single study with this ridiculously small amount of participants can hardly be considered a valid indicator of a drug’s efficacy.’

** HORRIBLE BIRTH DEFECTS CAUSED BY MONSANTO’S ROUNDUP **

http://www.naturalnews.com/032920_Roundup_birth_defects.html

(NaturalNews) A recent report put together by various professors, scholars and researchers affiliated withEarth Open Source, a collaboration group devoted to food issues, cites in great deal the multitude of peer-reviewed scientific studies which show that Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide (glyphosate), which is applied to many genetically-modified (GM) crops, is responsible for causing birth defects, endocrine disruption, DNA damage, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and cancer — and yetgovernmentagencies around the world continue to ignore this crucial information, and withhold it from the public, as they push for its approval or expanded use.

One of the mainstudieshighlighted in the report was published in the August 2010 edition ofChemical Research in Toxicology, and it showed thatRoundupcauses malformations in frog and chicken embryos at levels much lower than those used on agriculturalcrops. And since Roundup-ready GM crops are designed to tolerate theherbicide, not resist it, they literally absorb Roundup, which is then passed on in much higher levels to humans that eat the tainted crops.

Another study conducted as part of the Argentine government’sresearchgroup CONICET found high rates of the same or similarbirthdefect in humans living nearGM soycrops that were routinely sprayed with Roundup, indicating a clear connection between the chemical and humanbirth defects. More than half of the growing land in Argentina is now dominated by GMsoy, which is sprayed with about 53 millions gallons of Roundup every single year.

The authors of the report say that this and the bulk of other independent, indicting evidence against Roundup has been largely ignored by governments, including in the EU where new data requirements will demand that proper investigation into thesafetyof GMOs is conducted. Rather than rely on industry-funded pseudoscience that claims GMOs aresafe, authors say those working for thepeoplemust rise to the occasion and take charge in having proper safety evaluations conducted on the safety of Roundup.

“The public … has been kept in the dark byindustryand regulators about the ability of glyphosate and Roundup to cause malformations,” write the authors in their summary. “[T]he work of independent scientists who have drawn attention to the herbicide’s teratogenic effects has been ignored, denigrated, or dismissed … They have also contributed to the growing division between independent and industryscience, which in turn erodes public trust in the regulatory process.”
