A young woman came up to me at a Cambridge bookstore just before my presentation. “I heard you on Coast to Coast radio last year,” she said. “You changed my life.” No one had ever said anything like that to me before. I was deeply touched.
That was 2004. It was just 8 months since launching Seeds of Deception and I had already toured five continents. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was just getting started. And I would meet countless others whose lives were also transformed by the truth about genetically modified (GM) foods.
The world today is quite different than when I started out as a non-GMO road warrior. Most Americans had said they would avoid genetically modified organisms if labeled, but now millions are no longer waiting. They’re actively seeking non-GMO foods. And many are enthusiastically getting the word out to others.
As a personal thank you, I wanted to share a few stories from this year’s travels in the US about individuals whose commitments to non-GMO eating were inspired by rather compelling circumstances.
Non-GMO Doctoring
I spent some time at the medical practices of two Chicago area doctors who, like many I know, prescribe non-GMO diets to everyone. The doctors had told me that taking people off of GM foods is a very important part of health and healing, but I didn’t appreciate the full extent of it until I spoke with their patients. One after the other they described chronic symptoms that quickly improved or disappeared after changing their diets—skin conditions, irritable bowel, migraines, weight problems, fatigue, and much more.
At the end of my interviews I asked one of the doctors, “Where did you first learn about the health impacts of GMOs?” She smiled, “From you.” I held back tears.
The patients I interviewed had avoided GMOs by switching to organic food; some had also eliminated processed foods and/or specific food categories, so it was not clear how much of the improvements were based on avoiding GMOs versus other healthy changes. Soon after the visit, however, I came across other folks where the impact of a non-GMO diet was not ambiguous at all.
Animals on the Mend
These were veterinarians and farmers who had taken livestock—pigs and cows—off of GMO feed. What do you suppose happened? Death rates dropped, still born rates were down, litter size was up, and overall health improved. One farmer was ecstatic about the huge increase in milk production in his herd; another described how healthy his pigs looked—even down to reduced blood shot eyes.
The vets I spoke with had all been in practice long before 1996, when GMOs were introduced. Each had his stories about the surge in diseases and disorders after GM feed came on the scene. One told me that the jump in dog and cat allergies correlated exactly with the introduction of GM pet food. Whenever he switched his allergic animals to an organic (non-GMO) brand, their symptoms such as itching would usually disappear. Others described inflammation, infections, and gastrointestinal disorders.
Both vets and farmers saw differences inside GM-fed animals during autopsies or butchering, including liver damage, stomach ulcers, discoloration, and an awful stench. One farmer said that after seeing the alterations inside GM-fed animals, he and his wife started a strict non-GMO policy for their family’s meat.
(Apparently the vets who started their practices after GMOs entered the food supply consider all these problems normal.)
A Movement of Non-GMO Eaters and Feeders
Although some might dismiss these stories as “anecdotal,” the doctors, patients, vets, and farmers do not. Nor do the two autism organizations I visited, who now specify a non-GMO diet as part of the treatment protocol. These are just a few examples of the informed individuals, families, and organizations around the nation who are getting the message loud and clear—GMOs are NOT healthy.
We now have a movement in America. A BIG ONE! Thanks to you, we’re a force of nature—like the Earth’s immune system—a vast network rejecting dangerous genetically modified organisms. We will soon reach our goal—the tipping point of consumer rejection—which will force GMOs out of the market.
To respond to this new movement, our Institute is making some significant shifts—which I will tell you about very soon. But I wanted to take this opportunity to share these stories and to thank you for being part of this historic movement.
Much love and happy holidays,

HOMEOPATHY:
*Arnica 200C (for
shock, trauma, injury), Phosphorus 30C (for
bleeding), Apis 30C (for swelling) if you
can get higher potency, good. There are many other wonderful remedies to have on
hand, such as *Hepar (counteract mercury
toxicity),* Nux Vomica (intestinal upsets,
counteracts some vaccine side effects), and *Thuja
(counteracts some vaccine side effects, can get rid of warts/moles if applied
internally and topically).
**Oscillococcinum -
(to help prevent FLU) take a little every week -- works better this way rather
than waiting until you get the flu.
ESSENTIAL OILS:
Need to get Oxygen to the tissues to kill bacteria and
viruses and molds. Essential Oils do this best. I will only use Young Living
oils because of their purity. I have made all of these available to you
here.
***THIEVES blend is the most
important oil on my list. I had a patient with MRSA cure themselves using
THIEVES Oil with no other medical intervention!
Additional important oils ...
**Oregano,
Thyme, Myrrh, and
Frankincense
*Inner Defense - I take
capsules called Inner Defense to build my
immune system.
Other oils to consider are: Cistus,
Cumin, and Tea Tree
Clove oil is the highest
antioxidant on earth, this essential oil reaches the fats in our body.
Peppermint oil has a wide range of uses including
bug bites, hives, hot flashes, headaches, pain. Remember Dr. Oz? Well, he adds
that it's for indigestion. Did you know? 1 drop is equivalent to 26 cups of tea!
Purification oil is great for bug bites and
eliminating bugs and many small rodents.
The three ways to take oils are:
- In capsules, or on/with food
- Inhale them, using a diffuser makes this easier
- Topically
***Blend of Sea Vegetation – From Wachter's to remove
radiation from the body and protect yourself from same, lasts in the body 48
hrs. (vs. just 20 mins. with other iodine tabs). Plus it has all the minerals
and trace minerals that God ever created along with some vitamins and supports
thyroid function. For more information see

Fucoxanthin - for weight loss in sea weed
Seaweed (Fucoxanthin)
Claim: Brown seaweed, such as wakame and kombu, contains
fucoxanthin, a carotenoid that gives seaweed its color. Fucoxanthin also seems
to activate a fat-burning gene in the body, says Shawn M. Talbott, a nutritional
biochemist based in Salt Lake City, Utah. In other words, fucoxanthin helps
promote thermogenesis, which increases the rate of fat-burning.
Reality: A Japanese study found that fucoxanthin promoted belly-fat loss in obese rodents. Talbott, intrigued by the popularity of one of the fucoxanthin-containing products, also conducted an informal human study. He gave participants a daily dose of 2 mg of fucoxanthin and, at the end of a week, their resting metabolic rates had increased by 3 percent.
In addition to throwing off the body's homeostasis, excess
sugar may result in a number of other significant consequences. Below is a list
of some of sugar's metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and
other scientific publications. After reading this list, you
may be tempted to replace sugar with one of many alternative sweeteners; but
also do not use fake sugars, as they are very damaging to the body. Some other
sweeteners are:
Maple Syrup (Grade B)
Organic Raw Blue Agave
Yacon
Honey
