Merck’s cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil

As of August 2007, a review of the National Vaccine Information Centre revealed the following, quite alarming, statistic about this unnecessary vaccine: 2,207 adverse reactions to Gardasil have been reported. Among them: * 5 girls died * 31 were considered life-threatening * 1,385 required a visit to the emergency room * 451 of the girls have not recovered as of July 2007 * 51 of the girls were disabled

This vaccine is also the most expensive vaccine on the market, so you can follow the money trail to find out why Merck is now trying to push this cervical cancer vaccine on boys!   source: Sims2003

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almond Action Alert!

Dear Visitors,

We are joining with the Cornucopia Institute to send out this Action Alert on almonds. Time is tight and we are asking you to become an aggressive activist on behalf of protecting our food supply.

 

BACKGROUND

The USDA is now implementing a rule that will require all RAW domestic almonds to be "pasteurized," using either a toxic and carcinogenic fumigant (propylene oxide) or a steam-heating process, to eliminate possible bacterial contamination.  This is an effort to make nut production "safe" for industrial-scale farms with literally thousands of acres of production.

 

We are now headed down the slippery slope-if agribusiness players have their way, almost all fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables will be treated with chemicals, heated or irradiated.  We need to draw a line in the sand here and now!

 

ACTION TO TAKE

Please go to: www.cornucopia.org/almond/CornucopiaProxyLetter.pdf

 

Where you will find a proxy letter.   In past campaigns, hand delivering proxies directly to the USDA Secretary in Washington has been highly effective. (Please note, this letter is meant to be a fund-raising effort on behalf of Cornucopia, although, of course, you are welcome to donate in addition to signing the proxy letter.)

 

Please print out the letter, fill it in and mail it the Cornucopia Institute.  They will then hand deliver the letters in Washington. The address is

 

Cornucopia Institute

P.O. Box 126

Cornucopia, Wisconsin 5482

 

Also, please help us organize this campaign and generate more support for suspending the rule by sending out this letter to your own email lists. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact the Cornucopia Institute at cultivate@cornucopia.org or (608) 625-2042.

 

Sincerely yours,

Will Fantle, Co-Director, The Cornucopia Institute

Sally Fallon, President, The Weston A. Price Foundation
