LUNCH BOX LEAD DANGER

This seems important if you have kids in school. Bring back the paper sack lunch?

"The Center for Environmental Health recently filed lawsuits in California based on harmful levels of lead they discovered in soft vinyl lunchboxes. Twenty-seven boxes tested with at-home detection kits were found to contain high lead levels. Of that number, 17 lunchboxes sent to an independent lab for extra testing had lead levels exceeding federal safety standards."

NEW TGA LAWS.......

REMEMBER THESE WORDS....

"These Bills just pass into law with no fanfare, quietly under the radar....."

We should all be glad we do not live in Australia. First they took the guns away from law abiding citizens; now they are taking away the people's right to choose health supplements. This is most likely the work of Codex and the greedy hand of the pharmaceuticals and their political whores. Check this out and pray they do not get their way here in the good old US of A.

"The new TGA amendment Bill, August 17, 2005 (see further below) will make the penalties so prohibitive that it will be almost impossible to bring to market any herbal remedy or supplement unless it is backed by a million dollar trials, and even then it will be swept under the carpet at the NHMRC as Dr Holt's cancer therapy will inevitably be, as the trials that have been produced will not be in favour of the drug industry."

ORGANIC FOOD BENEFITS

You may think it is too much trouble to buy organic food but in the long run, you will profit immensely. The benefits are many and the price, if you shop right, is not that much more. If you are lucky to have stores like Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, Full of Life, etc. in your area you can eat well for a pitance when you consider your health and that of your kids and old people.


"Switching to organic foods provides children "dramatic and immediate" protection from pesticides that are widely used on a variety of crops, according to a study by a team of federally funded scientists."

Just like days of old when all were duped into thinking that the kings where above others but finally when challenged to prove that they indeed were better than others they could not do it.In this gloomy picture there yet may be glimmer of hope - naturally you will not hear much about this if at all...."...One charity has stayed above all this for 137 years. The Salvation Army is unique among all U.S. charities for many reasons. Let’s start at the top. Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary just $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 Billion dollar organization. By comparison, Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary (plus numerous expensive benefits) and the Red Cross President Marsha Evans receives $450,000 (the article was written in 2002 a wapping 50% increase in 1 year??) plus benefits..."

Even back in the Korean War according to a dear friend who was there and serving with the army medics, everyone knew the Red Cross was very inferior in actually helping people compared to the Salvation Army. If you want to help, send them a check at Salvation Army.


How You Can Help Hurricane Katrina Victims
Because time is of the essence and the need is great, you're no doubt wondering which organization can do the most good with your money. After doing some investigating of my own (prompted by the World Trade Center disaster), I've found the Salvation Army to be the most effective charitable organization in this country.
