Beware of Canola Oil - Toxicity of Canola and Soy
"Canola
oil comes from the rape seed, which is part of the mustard family of plants.
Rape is the most toxic of all food-oil plants. Like soy, rape is a weed.
Insects will not eat it; it is deadly poisonous! The oil from the rape
seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy oil."John Thomas
There is considerable controversy with regard to canola oil
and the rape seed plant. One aim of my website is to present views which
do not necessarily conform to the views of the establishment. It is very
easy to find views which conform to the establishment's views. It is very
often difficult to find opposing views. Therefore, you can read the
views presented on my website and then visit other websites which present
opposing
views, and then you can make up your own mind. (see links to conventional
website in support of canola oil below).

Soy Linked to Many
Human and Animal Health Conditions Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in
soy
products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise
healthy children and adults. Researchers at Cornell University Medical
College said that children who got soy formula were more likely to develop
thyroid disease and that twice as many diabetic children had received soy
formula in infancy as compared to non-diabetic children. In fact, in other
countries such as Switzerland, England, Australia and New Zealand, public
health officials recommend highly restricted medically monitored use of
soy for babies and for pregnant women. Blindness, Mad Cow Disease and Canola Oil
By John Thomas
excerpt from: Young
again: How to Reverse the Aging Process
Millions of people have suffered the loss of their vision from glaucoma,
a disease involving atrophy (deterioration) of the optic nerve. For years,
"experts" have been telling us that glaucoma results from fluid-pressure
buildup in the eye that causes the optic nerve to deteriorate. This theory
was based on an incorrect medical model: They were wrong!
Now, the experts have admitted that this is not true and have given
birth to a new theory. According to it, glaucoma is instead caused by a
deficiency of of oxygen and blood flow. Finally they are on the right trail.
In the end, they will discover that glaucoma is the result of insufficient
blood flow due to agglutination (clumping together) of the red blood cells
and waste buildup in the cells and intercellular fluids.
These blood-corpuscle clusters cannot squeeze through the extremely
tiny capillaries in the posterior of the eye, so cannot deliver oxygen
to the mitochondria.1 This is what the problem has been all along, and
if people continue to eat soy *2*and canola oils,
a lot more of them are going to experience vision irregularities - like
retinitis and macula lutea*3* degeneration.
Death of the mitochondria in the cells in the posterior of the eye is
due to oxygen starvation, sodium toxicity and waste accumulation. When
the mitochondria die, the cells die and the posterior eye tissues atrophy.
In this respect, glaucoma has much in common with hair loss, Alzheimer's
disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and hearing
problems.
There are several things a person can do to reverse these debilitating
conditions. Biologically friendly water*4* is basic
to all rejuvenation, as is fresh, viable food.
Detoxification
of the tissues and body fluids is accomplished with yucca
extract, Kombucha tea, 5 PACs*6* and colon therapy.
Rape Seed Oil or "Canola"?
Canola is a coined word. It appeared out of nowhere and is not listed
in any but the most recent reference sources.
The flip side of the canola coin reads: "rape"! You must admit that
canola sounds better than rape. The name canola disguised the introduction
of rape oil to America.
Canola oil comes from the rape seed, which is part of the mustard family
of plants. Rape is the most toxic of all food-oil plants. Like soy,
rape is a weed. Insects will not eat it; it is deadly poisonous! The oil
from the rape seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy
oil.
Canola is a semi-drying oil that is used as lubricant, fuel, soap and
synthetic rubber base, and as an illuminant for the slick color pages you
see in magazines. It is an industrial oil and does not belong in the body!
Canola oil has some very interesting characteristics and effects on
living systems. For example, it forms latex-like substances that agglutinate
the red blood corpuscles, as does soy, but much more
pronounced. Loss of vision is a known, characteristic side effect of rape
oil which antagonizes the central and peripheral nervous systems=20 again
like soy oil, again worse. The deterioration takes
years, however. Rape (canola) oil causes emphysema respiratory distress,
anemia, constipation, irritability and blindness in animals-and humans.
Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between
1986 and 1991 when it was thrown out. You may remember reading about the
cows, pigs and sheep that went blind, lost their minds, attacked people
and had to be shot.
A woman called me from Chicago to tell me that she had been in England
when the "Mad Cow Disease" had been at its peak. She said that she had
seen a television news report that told people not to panic if they had
been using rape oil in their diet and were over 65 years of age. The "experts"
added that the effects of rape oil ingestion takes at least 10 years to
manifest, and in all likelihood, most of these people would be dead by
then anyway. Comforting!
In the reports I read, the "experts" blamed the behavior on a viral
disease called scrapie. However, when rape oil was removed from animal
feed, "scrapie disappeared.
No longer a European livestock problem; now it is ours. U.S. farmers
grow rape seed, and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of
processed foods, with the blessings of government watchdog agencies, of
course.
Officially,
canola oil is known as "LEAR" oil - Low Erucic Acid, Rape. Industry experts
love to tell how canola was developed in Canada and that it is safe to
use. They admit it was developed from the rape seed, but that through genetic
engineering, i.e. irradiation, it is no longer rape seed, but "canola"
instead. ["Canadian oil", get it?]
They love to talk about canola"s qualities - its unsaturated structure(Omega
3, 6, 12), its wonderful digestibility and its fatty acid makeup. They
turn us against naturally saturated oils and fats, while they come to the
rescue with canola oil. They even tell us how Asia has warmly embraced
canola due to its distinctive flavor. Isn"t it wonderful how internationalists
brokers "help" third-world peoples? Reminds me of the introduction of the
microwave oven.
An earthly expression from the Old West sums up the flimflam accompanying
rape oil"s rebirth and promotion worldwide: "horseshit and gun smoke!".
Its new name provided the perfect cover for commercial interests wanting
to make billions in the United States. The euphemism is still very much
in use, but is no longer needed. Look at the ingredients list on peanut
butter labels. The peanut oil has been removed and replaced with rape oil.
"Rapeseed
oil smoke causes lung cancer" Amal Kumar Maj.
The Wall Street Journal June 7, 1995, pB6 (W) pB6 (E) col 1(11 col in)
Rape oil is also the source of the infamous chemical-warfare agent ,
mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs and skin of hundreds
of thousands of solders and civilians during WW1. Recent French reports
indicate that it was again used during the gulf.
Between 1950 and 1953, white mustard(rape) seed was irradiated in Sweden
to increase seed production and oil content. Irradiation is the process
the experts want use to make our food "safe" to eat. Genetically engineered
fruits and vegetables - which will soon have innocent things like hepatitis-B
spliced into their DNA - are another example of man"s misuses of technology
and abuse of public trust by powerful interests and "head-in-the-sand"
watchdog agencies.*8*
Many substances can bind metabolic enzymes and block their activity
in the body. In biochemistry, theses substances are called inhibitors.
Toxic substances in canola and soy oils encourage
the formation of molecules with covalent bonds which are normally irreversible:
They cannot be broken by the body once they have formed.
For example, consider the pesticide malathion.*9* It binds to the active
site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and stops this enzyme from doing
its job, which is to divide acetylcholine into choline and acetate.
Nerve Function and Organophosphates
Acetylcholine is critical to nerve-impulse transmission. When acetylcholinesterase
is inhibited, as by pesticide residues, nerve fibers do not function normally,
and muscles do not respond.
For
example, think of a garage door opener: If its signal is not received,
the door does not open. worth one"s body, the hand or leg is ordered to
move, but does not respond. Recently there has been a tremendous increase
in disorders like systemic lupus, multiple
sclerosis, cerebral palsy, "Myelinoma"*10* pulmonary hypertension and
neuropathy.
soy and canola oils are players in the
outbreak of these disease conditions. So are the organophosphates, insecticides
such as malathion used in food production in the name of efficiency.
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors cause paralysis of the striated) skeletal)
muscles and spasms of the respiratory system. That is why malathion is
the pesticide of choice by the experts; it kills insects by paralysis -
just like rotenone from soy beans does! It inhibits
the insect"s enzymes and those of humans, too! Canola
oil is an edible vegetable oil that can be used to control insects on a
wide variety of crops.
Agents Orange and Blue that were used in Viet Nam to defoliate jungle
cover are also organophosphorus compounds. The Viet Nam vets and the Vietnamese
people know about them firsthand. Government experts who okayed their use
and chemical companies that manufactured them have finally owned up to
their toxic effects on people and the environment. Nonetheless, present-day
experts in academia and government continue to bamboozle the public with
stories of "safe" science and cheap food through the use of poisons.
Canola oil is also high in glycosides that cause serious problems by
blocking enzyme function and deprive us of our life force - - chi, qi,
prana, call it what you like.
Glycosides interfere with the biochemistry of humans and animals. Their
presence in rattlesnake venom inhibits muscle enzymes and causes instant
immobilization of the victim.
Canola Oil, HIV, and AIDS Soy and canola oil glycosides also depress
the immune system - the T cells - to go into a stupor and fall asleep on
the job. These oils alter the bioelectric "terrain" and promote disease.
The Cancer/Trans-Fatty Acid Connection - Known in 1949!
In orthodox cancer research, renowned cancer researchers, among them,
Nobel Prize winner, V. Euler of Stockholm, wrote and published a book in
1949 in which they concluded that if the numerous and diverse symptoms
associated with various types of cancer were reduced to one common denominator,
it would be that "the fat lacks the ability to integrate in the living
tissue". "Trans-Fatty acid is the name of the fat that lacks this ability
- it is bad fat.
Non-Spoiling", Spreadable" Oils Are Destroying Our Health
Since 1902, Western countries have resorted to chemical process to destroy
the "unsaturatedness" of vegetable oils. It is done to make them easier
to handle; easier to market; and to preserve them so they will not spoil
so quickly. In the early 1900s, clever advertisements hailed its "spreadability"
- exclaiming that what everyone was waiting for was "a spreadable fat"!
Although the destruction of the essential elements of the fat was originally
well intended - to prevent it from spoiling the methods of processing fats
are destroying our health. Avoid any vegetable oil that is labeled "hydrogenated",
or "partially hydrogenated", as this oil contains 100% Trans-fatty
acid!
Why Are We Still Being "Sold" Trans-Fatty Acid?
Food manufacturing is a big, profitable business and employs many highly
skilled lobbyists. The new U.S. labeling laws do not list "Trans-Fatty
acid because the large food manufacturers spent billions of dollars to
pay for lobbyists to keep "Trans-fatty acid" off the labels. "Cold Pressed"
labeling means nothing in the U.S. All commercial oils and nut butters
sold in U.S. Supermarkets contain Trans-fatty acid this is because the
U.S. government allows heat treated and high pressure squeezed vegetable
oil to be used and even labeled "Cold Processed". The Italian government
passed a law that olive oil must be protected from heat and high pressure.
The U.S. government could save many lives if it passed a similar law to
include all vegetable oil (and banned cotton seed oil - it is poison).
Figure The Amount of Trans-Fatty Acid In Packaged Food By Using The
New U.S. Labels
1) Find the amount of "Total Fat" on the label.
2) Find the amounts of "Saturated Fat", "Polyunsaturated Fat" and "Monosaturated
Fat". (These are found on the label, listed directly under "Total Fat"
and slightly indented. If one or the other is not listed, that particular
food does not contain it.)
3) Add theses three together. If there are only two listed, add them together
or use one amount if only one is listed.
4) Subtract the total amount of #3 from the amount of #1. 5) The answer
is the amount of Trans-fatty Acid in that product.
.
Fats That Can Be Safely Heated
Butter and tropical fats - coconut, palm, palm kernel, cocoa, and shea
nut - are safest for frying, because they contain only small quantities
of Essential Fatty-Acids(EFAs). The saturated fatty acids contained in
these fats/oils are inert and therefore heat stable. Heat does not destroy
them in the same way it destroys EFAs. Butter and tropical Fats are best
used unhydrogenated. Only small amounts should be eaten, as they are sticky,
hard, saturated fatty acid-containing fats.
Tropical oils got a bad reputation for increasing cholesterol and triglyceride
levels that supposedly cause cardiovascular disease. An unconfirmed rumor
suggests that the soy bean industry financed the successful campaign against
tropical fats to kill imports and increase soy bean sales. Tropical oils
used in their country of origin have been shown in several studies to decrease
cholesterol levels. The difference in results may be due to several causes:
deterioration in tropical oils during storage (oxidation; processing (hydrogenation);
differing experimental design; or a combination of the above. Raw tropical
oils are rich sources of vitamin E and tocotrienols, which help protect
arteries from damage leading to cardiovascular disease(CVD). Olive oil
imported from Italy is safe for baking but not for frying or deep frying.
But only imported Italian olive oil as it is cold processed by law.
Liver and Gall Bladder Problems Improved
The metabolism of fat affects each and every organ. Anyone with liver
and gall bladder problems is quite aware of how fats affect them. In medicine
they say "Eat less fat", because it was observed that fats do not agree
with the sick person. However, if this person with liver and gall bladder
problems is given "good fat", i.e. live, highly unsaturated fat, it will
agree with him or her very well. It is best to use the threefold unsaturated
fat from flax seed oil or hemp seed oil, together with a substance that
makes it soluble(mix it with plain, low fat cottage cheese or emulsify
it with 2 or more ounces of low fat milk) before you take it.
Diseased organs react very favorably to this remedy. (Ed. Note: Also
Recommended: EPA capsules (fish oil) and Evening Primrose Oil capsules)
Alcohols and glycosidcs in canola and soy oils shut down our protective
grid-the immune system. Fluoride, immunizations, antibiotics and bio-junk
food play a similar role in immune system collapse. An alcohol is a chemistry
term for the "reactive" chemical group on an organic molecule. Those "R"
groups are what make organic compounds work-for good and bad! Canola alcohols
and glycosides are very reactive. They are as toxic as fermented alcohols,
but their effects manifest differently. The damage takes years to show
up. In a future article, I will discuss the sweet proteins in soy.
When the medical experts check your blood for the presence of the HIV
virus, they are looking at your white blood cell "count". If the numbers
are normal, they will tell you that you do not have HIV. What they don't
see is that the T cells are in a stupor. This opportunistic condition causes
life forms in the blood and nymph to metamorphose, manifest as hepatitis,
pneumonia and HIV, bypass the body's immune-system defenses(the T cells)
and get a foothold. As Claude Berard said, "The terrain is everything!"
Once inside the cells, HIV takes over the RNA and DNA. It uses the mitochondria
to produce energy for its own use. Quietly it multiplies, then one day
- BANG! - you wake up dying of AIDS.
Aids and Green Monkeys In his earth-shaking book, "AIDS: The End of
Civilization", Dr. William Campbell Douglass asked, "Do you really think
some green monkey all of a sudden bit some guy in the ass and presto, AIDS
all over the world?"
Dr. Douglass was examining the hype that the Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta have been peddling to the public about the AIDS virus, HIV.
Douglass' book tells the "whole" story of the development of HIV at the
Ft. Detrick(Maryland) military installation installation. His story is
well documented and confirms the theme of the futuristic movie "Outbreak".

Lorenzo's Oil Another film, "Lorenzo's Oil", offers a good example of how far off
course medical science has strayed and how muddled is the scientific mind.
Early on in the movie, the experts say the problem with the dying child
is not in the "math", i.e., pH. They are wrong.
Had the experts determined the pH of the saliva, urine and blood they
would have instantly known what they were up against: That the dying boy
had a chronically low total-body pH - so low that his fluids were dissolving
the myelin sheathing protecting his nerve fibers. This caused his nervous
system to disintegrate. Does this description sound like the dozens of
degenerative nerve-related disorders plaguing people today?
The boy was given Lorenzo's oil to boost energy output and act as a
detoxifier of metabolic poisons. The oil shocked his body into a less acid
condition. Lorenzo's oil is olive oil! When given in large quantities,
olive oil shocks the body and causes it to adjust its pH. It will also
safely purge the body of gall and liver stones, thus removing the need
for gall bladder surgery. (Yucca extract and PACs must precede the "flush")
Lorenzon's
oil composition: Oleo-erucic acid (Lorenzo's oil) is a 4:1 mixture
of oleic and erucic acid extracted from olive oil and rapeseed oil respectively.
Shortly after Lorenzo's oil was released, my brother saw an "expert"
on a TV talk show claim that Lorenzo's oil was rape seed oil. This was
a lie. Give rape oil to a sick person and you seal his or her doom. Here
is another good example of "disinformation" in the public domain. These
falsehoods should cause every thinking person to question the molding of
public opinion by the powerful commercial interests behind the scenes.
Blood and Oils By now it should be obvious that congested blood and
lymph flow negatively affect every part of the body. Moreover, using processed
foods containing canola oil, soy oil and chemical additives confuses the
body and weakens the immune system. It should come as no surprise that
anyone wanting to enjoy peak health and longevity must take personal control
and responsibility for his or her health and life. There is no other way!
"Health care industry" is an oxymoron; it protects its own health and economic
interests. Learn to protect your health and economic interests by learning
how to take care of yourself. Then act on that knowledge.

Canola is a hybrid variety of rapeseed developed in Canada during the 1970s

"I'm one of those people who has suffered with eczema since I was a
kid. It got markedly worse about a year ago when I stopped
cooking with corn oil (which is rich in EFA's) and started cooking
with canola oil. Over a year, my condition
became horribly
intolerable, and the doctors could do nothing for me but precribe steriod
creams. Then I decide to research the biochemstry of
eczema because I new my problem was systemic and not from external
triggers. That's when I came across a study on EFA
deficiency and its relation to eczema. I had taken Primrose oil
in the past for cystic breast syndrome as prescribed by my

Engineered Fats and Oils and The Degenerative
Disease Epidemic "The degenerative disease epidemic that wracks
the nation came coincidentally with the introduction of engineered fats
and oils. It is the type of fats and oils that we consume that is directly
correlated to the rise of epidemic degenerative disease; it is not the
amount of fats and oils that we eat that causes the problem.It is by chronically
consuming the fats and oils that cause degenerative disease that we impair
our ability to consume healthy fats and oils. We also impair our ability
to consume carbohydrates and thus become Diabetic and Obese."

Smith, author of Insulin: Our Silent Killer
"Traditional rapeseed is considered unsuitable as a source of food for
either humans or animals due to the presence of two naturally occurring
toxicants, erucic acid and glucosinolates. Following intensive conventional
plant breeding over a period of twenty years, canola is now confined to
those cultivars (Brassica rapa and B. napus) that contain low levels of
erucic acid and glucosinolates, so called “double low” varieties. Quality
control measures also stipulate that no protein is present in canola oil
suitable for human consumption."
The analyses were conducted on test material grown over multiple growing
seasons and at different geographical locations and thus demonstrate that
the genetic modifications have not resulted in any significant variation
in composition or agricultural performance in the transformed lines when
compared to the non-transformed control lines grown under the sameconditions.
Detailed compositional analyses on the transformed seeds also showed no
differences in the levels of natural toxicants. In particular, the level
of erucic acid in the oil (and glucosinolates in the meal) conformed to
the compliance requirements for certification as canola. The transformed
lines were tested in a range of environmental situations and following
treatment with commercial levels of glufosinate-ammonium. The nutritional
value of the transformed seeds was evaluated in two animal feeding studies
using rabbits and broiler chickens. In both instances, where the transformed
canola seeds were included in the diets of the animals over a defined period,
no adverse effects attributable to the test material were observed in the
animals, and all animals displayed normal patterns of growth. Conclusion
On the basis of the available evidence, oil derived from the genetically
modified canola lines (T45, Topas 19/2, Ms1, Ms8, Rf1, Rf2, Rf3 and their
crosses), is equivalent to oil from non-GM canola in terms of its safety
and nutritional properties.
Key toxicants - Seeds from the original native oilseed rape plants
naturally contain high levels of two toxins, erucic acid and glucosinolates,
and prior to the mid 1950s, the extracted oil was used primarily for industrial
purposes. Erucic acid, a long chain fatty acid, is a natural constituent
of the seed oil, while glucosinolates are confined to the seed meal with
the majority of the protein and other seed components.

Excerpt from
Holistic
Health Encyclopedia Rape seed oil (Canola oil) is widely used in thousands of processed
foods...with the blessings of our own government. Canola oil was first
developed in Canada. It's proponents claim that due to genetic engineering
and irradiation, it is no longer rape oil, but "canola" (Canadian oil).
They also claim it is completely safe, pointing to it's unsaturated structure
and digestibility. Although, I could not verify it, it is claimed the Canadian
government paid the FDA the sum of $50 million dollars to have canola oil
placed on the GRAS list (Generally Recognized As Safe). However it was
done, a new industry was created.
The truth is, however, that rape is the most toxic of all food oil plants.
Not even insects will eat it. No wonder farmers like growing it. It turns
out that rape is a member of the mustard family of plants, and is the source
for the chemical agent, mustard gas, which causes blistering on skin and
lungs when inhaled. Mustard Gas was banned after WWI for this very reason.
Studies of canola oil done on rats indicate many problems. Rats developed
fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals and thyroid gland. When the
canola oil was withdrawn from their diet, the deposits dissolved, but scar
tissue remained on the organs. Why were no studies done on humans before
the FDA placed it on the GRAS list? Consumed in food, Canola oil depresses
the immune system, causing it to "go to sleep." Canola oil is high in glycosides
which cause health problems by blocking (inhibiting) enzyme function. It's
effects are accumulative, taking years to show up. One possible effect
of long term use is the destruction of the protective coating surrounding
nerves called the mylin sheath. When this protective sheath is gone, our
nerves short-circuit causing erratic, uncontrollable movements. Learn

Rapeseed oil was a monounsaturated oil that had been used extensively
in many parts of the world, notably in China, Japan and India. It contains
almost 60 percent monounsaturated fatty acids (compared to about 70 percent
in olive oil). Unfortunately, about two-thirds of the mono-unsaturated
fatty acids in rapeseed oil are erucic acid, a 22-carbon monounsaturated
fatty acid that had been associated with Keshan’s disease, characterized
by fibrotic lesions of the heart. In the late 1970s, using a technique
of genetic manipulation involving seed splitting,2 Canadian plant breeders
came up with a variety of rapeseed that produced a monounsaturated oil
low in 22-carbon erucic acid and high in 18-carbon oleic acid. The new
oil referred to as LEAR oil, for Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed, was slow to
catch on in the US. In 1986, Cargill announced the sale of LEAR oil seed
to US farmers and provided LEAR oil processing at its Riverside, North
Dakota plant but prices dropped and farmers took a hit.3
MARKETING LEAR
Before LEAR oil could be promoted as a healthy alternative to polyunsaturated
oils, it needed a new name. Neither “rape” nor “lear” could be expected
to invoke a healthy image for the new “Cinderella” crop. In 1978, the industry
settled on “canola,” for “Canadian oil,” since most of the new rapeseed
at that time was grown in Canada. “Canola” also sounded like “can do” and
“payola,” both positive phrases in marketing lingo. However, the new name
did not come into widespread use until the early 1990s. An initial challenge
for the Canola Council of Canada was the fact that rapeseed was never given
GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status by the US Food and Drug Administration.
A change in regulation would be necessary before canola could be marketed
in the US.4 Just how this was done has not been revealed, but GRAS status
was granted in 1985, for which, it is rumored, the Canadian government
spent $50 million to obtain.
Modern oil processing is a different thing entirely. The oil is removed
by a combination of high temperature mechanical pressing and solvent extraction.
Traces of the solvent (usually hexane) remain in the oil, even after considerable
refining. Like all modern vegetable oils, canola oil goes through the process
of caustic refining, bleaching and degumming—all of which involve high
temperatures or chemicals of questionable safety. And because canola oil
is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which easily become rancid and foul-smelling
when subjected to oxygen and high temperatures, it must be deodorized.
The standard deodorization process removes a large portion of the omega-3
fatty acids by turning them into trans fatty acids. Although the Canadian
government lists the trans content of canola at a minimal 0.2 percent,
research at the University of Florida at Gainesville, found trans levels
as high as 4.6 percent in commercial liquid oil.24 The consumer has no
clue about the presence of trans fatty acids in canola oil because they
are not listed on the label.
A large portion of canola oil used in processed food has been hardened
through the hydrogenation process, which introduces levels of trans fatty
acids into the final product as high as 40 percent.25 In fact, canola oil
hydrogenates beautifully, better than corn oil or soybean oil, because
modern hydrogenation methods hydrogenate omega-3 fatty acids preferentially
and canola oil is very high in omega-3s. Higher levels of trans mean longer
shelf life for processed foods, a crisper texture in cookies and crackers—and
more dangers of chronic disease for the consumer.26
It has been shown to cause lung cancer (Wall Street Journal: 6/7/95)
Generally rapeseed has a cumulative effect, taking almost 10 years before
symptoms begin to manifest. It has a tendency to inhibit proper metabolism
of foods and prohibits normal enzyme function. Canola is a Trans Fatty
Acid, which has shown to have a direct link to cancer. These Trans Fatty
acids are labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Avoid
all of them!
According to John Thomas' book, Young Again, 12 years ago in England and
Europe, rape seed was fed to cows, pigs and sheep who later went blind
and began attacking people. There were no further attacks after the rape
seed was eliminated from the diet.
.
What's
Wrong with Partially Hydrogenated Oils? Unlike butter or virgin
coconut oil, hydrogenated oils contain high levels of trans fats. A trans
fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been "transmogrified", by
high-heat processing of a free oil. The fatty acids can be double-linked,
cross-linked, bond-shifted, twisted, or messed up in a variety of other
ways. Trans fats are poisons, just like arsenic or cyanide. They interfere
with the metabolic processes of life by taking the place of a natural substance
that performs a critical function. And that is the definition of a poison.
Your body has no defense against them, because they never even existed
in our two billion years of evolution -- so we've never had the need or
the opportunity to evolve a defense against them. Partially hydrogenated
oils will not only kill you in the long term by producing diseases like
multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to arthritis, but in the meantime
they will make you fat! more
Canola
Oil Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because
Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA The Canadian
government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
$50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List "Generally
Recognized As Safe". Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted
affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets. Studies
with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of
heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn
from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all
vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to
promote Canola oil in the USA.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused
by in a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the
myelin (protective sheath ) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long chain
fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese
and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in
an unrefined form.
Be
Careful of Canola Refined canola oil, typically found in conventional food stores, is
usually exposed to high temperatures, deodorizing and bleaching. Its health-giving
constituents are processed away, and its omega-3s converted into the undesirable
trans form. Even "lightly refined" and "expeller pressed oils can be exposed
to deodorizing, which may raise the oil temperature to a sizzling 450°–
470°F.
CANOLA
OIL - RAPE IN A DIFFERENT GUISE Remember the "Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the
UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed
on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from
a disease called "scrapie". It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began
and started to infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that
when rape oil was removed from animal feed, ëscrapieí disappeared.
We also havenít seen any further reports of "Mad Cow" since rape
oil was removed from the feed. Perhaps not scientifically proven, but interesting
all the same.
Soy and canola
" Recently there has been a tremendous increase in disorders like systemic
lupus,
multiple
sclerosis, cerebral palsy, "myelinoma", pulmonary
hypertension and neuropathy. Soy and canola oils are
players in the outbreak of these disease conditions. So are the organophosphates,
insecticides such as malathion used in food production in the name of efficiency."

"In 2004 I began to experience
a lot of joint swelling in my hands, shoulders, knees and ankles. That
pain would simply jump around in my body without warning and I kept going
to the doctor who concluded I had either strained a muscle or had a torn
rotator cup. Eventually after CATS and MRIs showed no problems the doctor
gave me a blood test and when it came back she said that I had Lupus.
I was prescribed a series of medications that made me very ill. After researching
more about lupus it occurred to me that I needed to find a doctor that
specialized in autoimmune deficiencies. I found a doctor who specialized
in autoimmune diseases and after a series of blood test this doctor told
me I had RA, Rheumatoid Arthritis. She said that my RA factors were over
200 and started me on a methotrexate, and other RA combo drugs including,
prednisone, cortisone shots and painkillers. The side effects of the medications
were at times unbearable.
A friend of mine who at one
time had stage four pancreatic cancer introduced me to Marine
Phytoplankton and suggested that I talk to a friend of hers for
more information. It was suggested that I began with 1 1/2 oz of Marine
Phytoplankton a day and after 30 days I should see some change in my body.
After being on so many over the counter drugs and prescribed medications
I was a bit reluctant but decided to try it 3 days after purchasing it.
After all, I really had nothing to lose. Within the first half hour of
taking the Marine Phytoplankton I felt. The swelling had left my hands,
completely (this is where the RA had settled). Each day I continued to
take 1 1/2 oz of the Marine Phytoplankton and I have not looked back.
It has only been 30 days
and I have not taken any medications for arthritis. I have been pain free
and I have not had any joint swelling. This is truly a miracle for me and
it is what I have been looking for. I am recommending it to everyone I
know that has RA. I believe that Marine Phytoplankton is the all-natural
product that is healing my body from the inside out. You must give it a
try." T. W.
Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine
phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life
and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells
that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most
nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range
of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes
and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum
health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.
Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations
that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens
increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use
oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening
the heart and circulation. more about marine

Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) is widely believed to be an immune
system disorder that causes the body’s own antibodies to attack the
myelin sheath in the brain and the spinal cord causing inflammation and
scaring. The myelin sheath is a fatty type wrapping that surrounds the
nerve fibers throughout the nervous system of the body. The disease is
progressive and slowly degenerates the entire central nervous system. The
term Sclerosis actually means "to harden" and Multiple refers to "many
locations" throughout the central nervous system.

Lupus:
Alternative Therapies That Work Moore suffered from lupus for 14 years. After taking control of her
health care, though, and drawing on alternative therapies (usually called
"complementary" therapies), she has "recovered." Books by lupus patients

in detail. Nutrition and dietary supplements played major roles, Moore

Cat's
Claw Uncaria Tomentosa, is being called by many the "Miracle Herb from the
Rain Forest of Peru". The highly effective properties contained in the
inner bark of the cat's claw (Una De Gato) plant have demonstrated, through centuries
of usage dating back to the time of the ancient Incas, to have a profound
and positive influence on the body's defense system. Studies conducted
since the 1970s at research clinics in Peru, Austria, Germany, England,
Hungary and Italy validate the traditional usage and indicates that this
herb may be beneficial in ameliorating a host of modern day afflictions
which have no answers from the orthodox medical arena. It is known to help
nutritionally support the body's defense, circulatory and gastrointestinal
systems through its antioxidant and build properties. Cat's Claw is known
to support a wide range of health problems associated with immune and digestive
problems; such as gastric ulcers, arthritis, intestinal disorders, certain
skin disorders, herpes, candidiasis, chronic fatigue, lupus, and
tumors.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost

the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening.
When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually
become asymptomatic. " more
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system
attacks the skin, blood vessels, joints, and other tissues of the body.
It is believed that there may be a virus that causes the development of
antibodies, which then attacks good body tissues. Visual symptoms may include
a butterfly shaped rash on the checks or the nose or in other locations
on the body. Woman make up 90% of the people with Lupus and it is even
more prevalent in Asian women

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water,
by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.

the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from
an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe
health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty
that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led
to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients,
she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she
was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which
she had not been able to do in years." The sugars found on all Glyconutrients

Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can

and Long Island Community Hospital medical experts have found that children
who develop Type1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating
or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph
and skin.
Naturopaths
who hold that illness can be healed by the natural processes of the body
are the most vigorous supporters of detoxification, since they believe
that the primary cause of disease is the accumulation of uneliminated wastes.
When the body's natural cleansing systems are no longer up to the task,
proponents of detoxification say everyone should detoxify at some point.
Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary
Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions:
the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products
we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins build-up in
the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases.
Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic Medical
Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home there
are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells actually
contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we
are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing
amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we
eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular
communication and disease. more

testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

James
DeMeo, Ph.D.: "In recent years, there has been an upsurge of police

steadily eroded away by new laws, judicial rulings, and bureaucratic decrees.

American freedom has been the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)." more
