"Improve your health thru Feng Shui!"
Presented by Sue Ruzuika PhD, and Elaine Paris -
(SPECIAL NOTE: Sue and Elaine will be on radio 93.2 on Nov. 15th at 9am and will talk about the lecture!! Open to public!! Please support!!! )
Feng Shi is the study of natural and man-made energy patterns that surround you. How these energy patterns interface with your life can and do influence your health! Although several sources contribute to nurturing the chi flow in the body, one of the main sources of stress is the environment. People are stressed and that compromises the body and our health. We will take a look at how our living and work spaces connect to our physical well being. By being aware of our space we can use adjustments as a preventative measure to keep ourselves well. Keeping ourselves well is the best way to work with our health.

NOVEMBER CHEO MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
Jean Terry
Q: Tell me about how you got started in your work?
A: My interest in alternative health started from my own personal struggles and accelerated several years ago with a desperate attempt to help a friend who was dying from colon cancer. Although I was unable to help him, it birthed a burning desire to find out what we are doing wrong that there is so much sickness around us. My (48-page) preventative health booklet is a result of all the information I gained.

FDA APPROVES VIRAL ADULTERATION OF OUR FOOD SUPPLY
By Byron J. Richards, CCN August 24, 2006
www.NewsWithViews.com
On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved a viral cocktail to be sprayed on foods we eat. This is the first time viruses have been approved for use as food additives. The FDA wants you to believe it will be safe to consume these viruses every day for the rest of your life with no adverse health effects. Not surprisingly, the FDA doesn't want you to know which foods are adulterated in this manner, for fear you may not buy them; thus, no labeling will be required. This is a onumental announcement by the FDA, indicating they are throwing all caution to the wind regarding the safety of our food supply.
Yes, the FDA plans to use one infectious organism to fight another. The carnage of battle will end up in your digestive tract along with the victorious live viruses, which the FDA assures us will not attack human cells. However, they cannot possibly be certain the viruses will not attack the friendly bacteria that make up the lining of your digestive tract. And they want you to believe this is completely safe while refusing to require the additive viruses to be listed on the food label so that you would have a choice. (The FDA-approved cocktail contains six different viruses intended to attack one strain of bacteria).
This concoction is then sprayed on food. If Listeria is present in the food, the bacteria will ingest the viruses. This results in massive viral replication inside the bacteria, until such point as the bacteria simply bursts. This battle results in significant production of bacterial poisons called "endotoxins", as the bacteria tries to defend itself. When the bacteria burst, these endotoxins are released. These, along with the victorious live viruses, will now be on the food that will be eaten. Another question: Will the FDA diligently monitor the quality of this product once it is on the market, or will it go the path of many FDA-approved drugs that the agency can't keep track of? There is certainly a risk that humans will be exposed to excessive amounts of endotoxin. This could come from the manufacturing of the viral cocktail, the interaction of the viruses with bacteria after being sprayed on food, and/or the interaction of the viruses with bacteria in the digestive tract.
The human immune system is highly reactive and sensitive to bacterial endotoxins. They provoke allergy, asthma, autoimmune problems, and elevate cholesterol. They also interfere with the healthy function of cells lining the digestive tract. Researchers have demonstrated that the presence of bacterial endotoxins can start cancer in the colon .
What will this reaction be? Allergy? Asthma? Autoimmunity? Cancer? How can the FDA approve a food additive that it knows can induce a variety of human immune responses? Phages are so good at disrupting normal immunity that they are being considered for use as part of organ transplant medicine.
Keep in mind that the FDA wants to conduct this experiment on our food supply to protect a small minority, only about 2500 people, who are made seriously ill by this infection each year. The ill are mostly pregnant women, elderly with compromised immunity, and small children. It would be a lot more to the point if the FDA would simply warn such people that eating these foods, due to their poor quality of production, may be dangerous. What the FDA should really do is improve the quality of our food supply, the true source of the problem. Why expose millions of Americans to an unproven ingestion of live viruses for the benefit of so few?
The Tip of an Iceberg
Intralytix has an agenda for the American food supply, as well as for healthcare in general. This recent FDA ruling allows Intralytix and other similar biotech companies to get their foot in a door that should be slammed shut and bolted closed. The company is also seeking FDA approval for viral sprays to treat foods that could be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella, which means that similar "trained" viruses could end up in a majority of the protein foods in our food supply.
