GMO--Gaia Murdered Overnight?
347313
This book about the role of Monsanto in connecting the world's food supply with deadly chemicals and  the livelihood of farmers--to the detriment of all living beings on Planet Earth--is gripping, infomative, and delivers a devastating warning.  Chris Kanthan has researched the role of Monsanto--from its production of Agent Orange during the American war in Vietnam to its world-wide lobbying strategy (including its success in having the FDA whitewash the terrible differences between GMO crops and their ancient antecedants)---and has found an effective way to tell the painful truths that lurk within this continuing story.  He sets up a dialogue between "me" and "friend" that allows the reader to learn about research into the horrors of GMO crops, and the brutal tactics being used to make farmers, distributors, and consumers dependent on them (provided by "me"), through the kinds of erroneous assumptions that most of us ("friend") must have, given the huge lobbying and advertising budgets expended by Monsanto to keep us all in the dark--until it is too late to do anything about it and all the ancient bounty of Gaia, evolved over the eons, have been replaced by GMO equivalents--which are not equivalents.  They just look similar--  like the replacements in "The Body Snatchers".  Soon it may be too late for us to wake up . . .

Doctor Trevor Adams has created a genetic weight-loss treatment using pygmy DNA. These creature don't store fat and need to eat every two hours. The procedure works a little too well and the patients start to experience extreme side effects. Doctor Adams didn't realize just how much the DNA would mutate the host. They're starving and it doesn't matter what they consume. Their appetite is Voracious.

A blood-filled, flesh-eating, violent read. The best "what if" writer of the fictionalized human condition.

Very happy making. I cook beans over night, add brown rice and cook some more, than add a can of Campbells Chunky Chicken Noodle and a can of chopped Green Chilies... and it's Heaven! If you like green chili stew, this is a pretty good approximation.

I just wish Campbells didn't use GMOs in its soups. If you've watched any of the videos on glyphosate and GMOs, you are likely as keen as I am to avoid them... I suspect fewer people know about the link between glyphosate and an increased risk of autism from vaccines... I don't think we're allowed to include links in our reviews, or I'd put one here to a researcher's work on the subject.

Got it just to read two words. I'M SORRY!

Thank Goodness some of these militants are finally coming to grips with the fact that they destroyed fields full of experiments designed to help feed the world. By the way, some of us aren't included in WE (why we got it so wrong) Some of did know you guys were wrong all along. Some of us know that nectarines and grapefruits do not exist in nature.

I do realize that some GMOs were developed to resist RoundUp. Which didn't work, and yes it spread to other plants.

Nice that the idea caught on, so maybe they can make plants that are Oh, I don't know, DROUGHT RESISTANT, grow more fruits on 1 plant, etc.

We sprayed this product as directed on a light to moderate growth of grass, dandelions, and other miscellaneous weeds in a greenbelt along our house.  That was on Sunday, 05 February.  Today is Wednesday, 15 February and the vegetation has yellowed some but definitely has not browned-out and died.  I guess I'll give the area another spray but as expensive as this product is, it should have worked as advertised.

This time of year is when I usually plan my garden for the coming spring and summer. Rather than turn to Western Sunset, I thought I'd thumb through Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities by Amy Stewart for inspiration, er, for what not to plant.

If you ever want to take a peaceful walk in a garden or hike on a nature trail again, perhaps this isn't the book for you 'cause it freaked me out. Just a little.

With section titles like "Lawn of Death" and "Weeds of Mass Destruction" to clue you in, Amy Stewart doesn't just cover exotic poisonous plants like curare and the strychnine tree, but more common "botanical atrocities" growing in your garden at this very moment or in your house. These wicked plants range from illegal, intoxicating ones like cannabis and the opium poppy, to the destructive like killer algae and kudzu, to the deadly - poison hemlock, oleander, and deadly nightshade.

Did you know that corn can lead to dementia, diarrhea, and even death if eaten by itself and makes up most of your diet? Or that raw cashew nuts, which are part of the same family as poison ivy, poison, sumac, and poison oak, when consumed will give you a rash? Or that the potato is part of the nightshade family and if exposed to the light for too long could kill you?

My favorite is the section called "Social Misfits" with the pyromaniac plants, "stinkers," and plain "just disgusting." Yeah!

"You can garden for years without ever suffering the ill effects of a plant like monkshood, whose cheerful blue flowers conceal a toxin that brings on death by asphyxiation. You can hike for miles and never encounter the coyotillo shrub, whose berries cause a slow but deadly paralysis. But someday the plant kingdom's dark side may make itself known to you. When it does, you should be prepared."

I was gearing up and ready to buy some, but then I saw that this is certified non-gmo project. The willingness of companies to pay for a label that pushes an anti-science agenda based solely on conspiracy theories blows me away. Bear Naked won't get a dime of my money until they remove this stupid non-gmo project label from it's products.

BEWARE of Collateral damage, and TIPS!!-
The ingredient that killed my trees..., was Dicamba!
Speed Zone/ with dicamba- killed my junipers, and brown spots around Dandelions/clover sprayed (fescue mix, in Northern MT)! Spraying dicamba anywhere around shallow rooted trees/shrubs WILL kill them!
Beware of wind drift too!- This is POWERFUL stuff!
Weed spray"s" without dicamba, just didn't work for me!? SpeedZone rep recommended 1.8oz per gallon (NO MORE!).
Spectracide Weed Stop also has dicamba, but you'd have to use it 4x... to get the same stregnth PBI recommended? (SpeedZone is way too expensive, if you can find it!)
~~~~~~~~~~

My TIPS for killing weeds with a hand sprayer (all brands, Roundup too...! User beware!)!-

1. Use a COMMERCIAL non-foaming "Surfactant" at the recommended 1/8 cup (1oz/ 2tbsp) per gallon (most farm supply stores... have it!)!  NOT dish soap (read the edu... test reports!)!
a. Summer weeds... have a Thick protective wax on the leaves, and you can see the surfactant cutting the wax (letting the spray soak in (translucent!))!  It also helps the spray to stick...!

2. I flattened a stainless army fork, and sharpened the ends with a grinder/file...
I then duck taped it to the end of my spray wand, with the tines 1/4" past the nozzle end.
Give a 1sec spray at base first! I then use this to agitate/scrub the leaves  (both sides!), while barely spraying.

3. NO mowing 5-7days before spraying (Partial growth= Partial kill!), and 3days+ after (watch for weed TopKill...?)!

4. Water lawn HEAVILY the day before Spraying, and NOT again for "48hrs+"!!!
All that sales hype about waterproof in X... hrs, is NONSENSE (all brands!)!
a. We all know if you want it to rain, just wash your car!- Well this goes Double for me with weed spraying [...]!  :o(

5. No spraying when less than 60f, or over  80f (burns lawn!)!  Never late in the afternoon (weeds dormant)!

6. If I have a stubborn weed with a tap root (careful around shrubs...!)!-
 I stick an 8"  #2 Phillips screwdriver into the ground right next to it. I then give  a "1sec!" spray down the hole (no more, or you WILL have a HUGE brown spot...!).

BTW!- You might want to try my tips first on an obscure part of your lawn, as brown spots are "slow" to fill back in (I'm going to re-seed spots next Spring!)!

BTW2- Seems to kill MUCH better in the Spring!? Takes several re-applications in the summer!
Any tips would be appreciated!?

We have IDSA saying (publicly) that the spirochetes are killed with a couple weeks of antibiotics while ILADS insists, no, no, the spirochetes are still there--we must kill spirochetes! It's not about the spirochetes. It's an acquired immune deficiency. You tell me how to fix that. At least we tell you what the disease is. The research has to go from there.

Forst time i read the book i thouth intresting.. but i found out that this is a doctor selling false hopes. I throwed the book in the vin and never ergret IT. Truth is for free and i found that in The LYME Cryme Whistleblowers info.

I am a Physicians Assistant student and still studying Anatomy and working on a powerpoint presentation at 4:30 AM, mostly because of Gary Null's Red Stuff!!!  Awesome energy boost, except I might take a power nap soon!!!!

Can someone let me know if too much of this stuff at once is bad?

Thanks!

In less than 24 hrs, my succulents turned to an ugly and sorry sight ever. Some leaves turned wrinkle, some just drop off from stalks, some have black patches on it. Worse off all, most of the tip of my blooming succulents just died off. It's now on the third day after spraying. More damage is still going on to the plants. I could not attach pictures to show you guys out there to witness the outcome of my succulents! I just hope my succulents will not die on me for having a bad choice of using this pesticide :(

It's been months and they have not reproduced. They must be the gmo worms that don't reproduce. They are just dying now as adult beetles. Very disappointed. I can't find normal mealworms that I can start my mealworm farm with. The ones at local pet stores are also GMO "Super mealworms" as well and they have been altered to not reproduce. Boooooo!

I got a bottle of the sluggo granuals from the local feed store and it took care of business the first night. The slugs were destroying my bell peppers and even some of the lower tomato leaves. I went out with a flash light the first night and checked, I was disgusted by how many slugs were out there but very few were on the plants. By the 3rd night I couldn't find any up on the plants. And the additional damage to the plants stopped the first night.

Not wanting to kill all my lawn i tried this. i used for 4 months, first month i used it at recomended rate, second month i doubled it, 3rd month i used 4x the amount, and finaly i used 8x the amount. The end result a full yard of bermudagrass, never did it ever show any sign that the bermudagrass was stressed. No reputable companly will claim they can remove bermudagrass unless it's a total vegitation killer. In fact they reconmend the stongest vegitaion killer allowed by law to kill bermudagrass. Save your money do not buy bayer products.

To fix my lawn i used total vegitaion killer, waited two weeks brought in 25 yards of high grade topsoil and then soded my lawn. I have a lawn that would make the golf course envy.

Plant appeared to arrive health. Followed all directions to a tee- started dying the same night it was removed from the package..

It worked as described. Water was back to crystal clear after three treatment. I stopped the treatment immediately; however, my fish have lost their appetize. It's been three week since the first treatment. One of them finally passed away today. I am so sad. And I am afraid I will lose more.
I am not sure if anyone has noticed there was a caution at the back saying that it contains chemical that will cause cancer. If you touch it, you have to wash thoroughly with soap and water. Sounds like a poison. Could it be the cause of the death?

I added a small sprinkle around the base of every pepper/eggpplant in my garden and completely regret it! My sweet/hot pepper were affected the most, within 48 hours of adding Jobes I noticed some new blossoms forming on my peppers (Nice!) Yeah, I thought so too until a few days later all of my bottom leaves started to turn yellow. Most of the blossoms formed/opened within 72 hours after adding Jobes organic have yellowed and fallen off. Plants were lush and green before adding Jobes. If anyone is interested my soil consists of; Local organic soil, compost, wormcastings, and azomite rock dust minerals. Plant were lush, dark green and healthy and retaining fruit buds before application of this fertilizer. Now I'm stuck trying to get my poor plants back to square one after putting faith in Jobes line of fertilizers...
