Manuka Health and Organic honey - which Standards are relevant for social Medicine / natural Apitherapy?

Abstract: homeopathic healing, alternative and holistic therapies such as Apitherapy instead of red Biotechnology. Dangerous TNF-Alpha-Inhibitors. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables and even the new generation „Biologica" (genetically engineered medicine) and medicine for lowering cholesterol create more unpleasant side-effects than leading to a useful health. Critical multiple organ collapse caused by socalled "magic balls" - such as antibodies from rats "humanized" with the help of genetic engineering for "curing" rheumatism. Especially rheumatism can be cured really good by natural Apitherapy. Genetically engineered medicine is completely superfluous, because rheumatism, high blood pressure, sclerosis, allergies etc can be cured by natural beeproduce. On top of that, using natural beeproduce and special cure packages issued by centre for social medicine and natural Apitherapy, you don't support laboratory animal experiments, which is nothing but cruelty to animals. High blood cholesterol levels are associated with diets rich in dried and powdered animal produce (such as powdered milk, eggs, cheese, fat, which can be found in chocolade, bakery, ice-cream etc.) as well as too much TV watching and stress. High levels of cholesterol in the blood are found in diabetes. Excess cholesterol can be deposited in the walls of arteries, causing atherosclerosis. Meanwhile it is well known that people who take cholesterol lowering medicine die therfore from much more severe diseases such as cancer, inflammation of pancreas, or they have at least to recon with impotence, severe kidney diseases or damages of the liver. Especially diseases such as rheumatism, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, morbus crohn, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, high levels of cholesterol in the blood can be cured by alternative treatment and natural remedies such as holistic Apitherapy and alternative therapies with natural bee products provided by Centre for social medicine / holistic Apitherapy Research Centre. Heavy negative side effects of efalizumab (Biologica) and other medicine against psoriasis, rheumatism, osteoporosis. pain-killing drug (analgesic) and doping. Prophecy of Nobel price winner James Watson was wrong: substances against cancer such as Avastin cure nothing. Not to mention exteme costs of this new avastin-therapy which is able to cause complete health systems to rock. More...

Quality of products from beecolonies such as beeswax, raw honey, comb in the comb, comb honey, pollen, beesbread, propolis and royal jelly - for therapeutical and cosmetic use

Abstract: bee products used for alternative medicine, apitherapy, holistic healing, homeopathic therapies and cosmetics need to be without residuals. Beeswax, partitions, comb in the comb and propolis, sold by trading companies or ebay, may contain paraffine and DEET. Artificial comb honey in cassettes made of wood or plastic. More important than chemical analysis of products (beeswax, comb honey, comb in the comb, raw honey, raw-propolis, Propolis-tincture, beesbread) is the origin of the raw materials, the way beekeepers keep their bees and which kind of hives they use. This fact is overseen in many cases by producers of propolis products. Propolis products offered in supermarkets or drug stores sometimes contain not only pollutant loads or enrichments with harmful substances but also cancer causing and biotechnological produced sugar substitutes as isomalt or aspartame. The quality of food and beeproduce cannot be clearified by common analytic methods and techniques. Analytic procedures are too crude; thats the reason why foodstuff inspectors were often easy game for the swindlers. Also methods of harvesting propolis and pollen are very often anything but according the needs of bees. Even socalled "organic" beeswax may be contaminated with beeswax that contains low amounts of pesticides or paraffin. Thus, raw honey, beeswax, beesbread, pollen and propolis may be contaminated, especially if beekeeping methods are not according standards of Centre for ecological Apiculture. Honeybees in Switzerland collect pollen from maize, also GM-maize (which is not yet prohibited in Switzerland), more frequently than expected; these pollen can be found in beeproduce (pollen, beesbread, comb in the comb, propolis, beeswax) from Switzerland. Food containing GM-maize or compounds of other genetically engineered crops are toxic as new scientific research turned out. As cosmetic industry want to offer low budget products, it is creating now cremes, lotions and fragrances without natural ingredients good for skin care such as beeswax and herbal oils; cosmetic industry is using poor and cancerogenic compounds instead such as Paraffinum Liqu., microcristaline wax (Mikroparaffin) or vaseline, PEG (Polyethylenglykol), Aluminium, Benzoeacid. Even expensive cosmetics may contain substances who support tumors in respiratory tract. Non organic skin care creme and doping. Candles without beeswax made of plant oils from genetically modified cotton seeds.More...

Starting with natural beekeeping / Apitherapy instead of going on a diet

Abstract: Risk of going on a Diät. Slimming treatment and mortality, diabetes mellitus, gall-stones, osteoporosis, low cholesterol level, depression and intellectual deficiency, natural beeproduce (for instance beebread in natural combs instead of perga) are able to regulate disturbed organic functions and harmonize a weak metabolic system - underweight and thinness as well as obesity. If you want to start your own beekeeping enterprise, please notice the following: Common framehive beekeeping and travelling with beecolonies - as it is also common among organic beekeepers - is not suitable for obtaining that quality of beeproduce which is needed for apitherapeutical beeproduce.

Better natural produce such as comb in the comb, organic milk, organic joghurt than artificial produce such as dangerous candies from genetically modified raw materials, "sugarfree" diet drinks, sugar substitutes, artificial additives, artificial milkproduce or produce from animals fed with GM-soy

Abstract: The problem is the small print. companies from food processing industry advertise with labels such as "sugar-free", "Zero"; but instead you can find sugar substitutes as food additives such as Aspartame, Acesulfam K, Saccharin etc.: these ingredients are well known for their ability to cause cancer and damage of nerve cells. All these sugar substitutes damaging to health such as Aspartame (E951), Acesulfam K (E950), Cyclamat (E952), Saccharin (E954), Thaumatin (E957), Sucralose (E955), Aspartam-Acesulfamsalz (E962) commonly found in sugarfree drinks for children, energydrinks such as " RedBull sugarfree ", "Pepsi-light", "Coca-cola-zero" and sweets, may cause cancer and other heavy health defects. Especially Aspartame which is commonly found in diet drinks, candies and flavored medicines may also cause headaches, depressions, arthritis, asthma, hypoglykamie and hyperglykamie, brain cancer, death, loss of memory, extreme thirst or hunger, loss of hair, heart rhythm disturbances, high blood pressure, impotence and sexual problems, lack of concentration, high ability to catch infections, laryngitis, insomnia, allergies, Tinnitus, changing of personality, increase of weight. William Pardridge from Massachusettes Institute of Technology in Los Angeles found out that there may be a connection between high amounts of Phenylalanine in the blood of mothers and a low intelligence quotient of their children. Not the nutritionists need to become better, but the food. Feeding is communication. If we change a balanced diet for instance by eating unphysiological food or damage the flora of the intestine, it has severe consequences for us. Did you know that socalled nido products, candy cornflaces and similar cereals for children with added vitamin- and mineralbombs may cause the death of your children? Feeding trials provided shattering results: the rats, who should be bursting with health according advertisement, were mortally ill. Food containing GM-maize or parts of other genetically modified plants such as plant oils and fats, lecithin (cotton seeds, soy), is toxic, as new studies show. Irrespective of which gene you insert, the process of genetic engineering itself results in massive collateral damage within the plants' natural DNA.Damages of liver and kidneys. Apitherapeutical cure-package # 11. Not only artificial pseudo-milk-products made of genetically modified ingredients, even common products from animals (except those from organic farming) come from animals who were fed with GM-soy. geneticall engineered weat; what now happens to tobaccoindustry, soon going to occur to pesticde- and biotechindustry; insolvency of Monsanto in near future? WWF Pro-Gentechnik. GM-soy in organic icecream from supermarket. Not only Polyglycerin-Polyricinoleat (E476), all products made of GM soy, GM cotton seeds, GM maize, GM rape need to be declared as dangerous. Some three star restaurants offer biotech-food and ingredients made of products used for filling and wallpapering.More...

Old Traditions in Apiculture and Viniculture - Natural Honey (raw honey / run honey) or Organic Honey from sugar feeding and framehive beekeeping?

Abstract: In most cases organic produce are a good choice. The slogan: "without genetic engineering because it's organic" does not apply to supermarkets. Organic Honey and other organic beeproduce do not live up to expectations at all. In most cases natural beekeeping is pretended, in parts even ecological, sustainable or bee-friendly beekeping. Warré hive beekeeping. Almost no difference between organic and non-organic beekeeping method. The beecolonies are neither being kept ecological in organic apiaries nor in non-organic apiaries. The "traditional" framehive beekeeping and sugar feeding allows organic beekeepers to harvest as much honey as beekeepers from other beekeeping associations. Many authors who write about organic beekeeping or certified organic apiaries, have more phantasy and the ability of pure invention than real specialist knowledge. The aims and principles of an organic apiary still remain rationalisation and higher yields at the expence of the beecolony's health. Mrs. Bentzien describes the organic apiary highly imaginative in the most rosy colours; this apply also to organisations such as "natural beekeeping trust"; but the reality of organic beekeeping is different: those beekeepers who are allowed to use an organic label are allowed to feed sugar, to carry out artificial insemination of the queen - well, of course an "insemination of the queen without much injuring" should be guaranteed - , to use non natural queenbreeding methods ("grafting"), to add artificially created parts of the comb (which disturbs communication among the colony), to fix these artificially created parts of the comb with wire, the use of magazines and supers (for instance framehive beekeeping, rotating framehive and warre beekeeping), the use of smoke (which by the way can be called an act of cruelty to bees), even the Pressing-Method is not prohibited; Some organic beekeepers even clip the wings of the queen to prevent swarming - a technique which is supported by many beekeeping associations and scientists. Travelling with beecolonies is also allowed in organic beekeeping; that's the reason why also organic beeproduce may be contaminated with heavy loads of pesticides and antibiotics.

Health cure with raw honey, comb in the comb, beesbread, royal jelly, propolis-tincture

Abstract: Thanks to phantastical self healing forces is a balanced body able to cure himself - especially if he is supported by natural beeproduce. A cure with raw honey causes higher growth of "good" bacteria of the intestine such as Bifidus and Lactobacillus, and thus facilitate an optimal digestion. This is also useful for persons with lactoseintolerance, which occure mainly in tropical regions with high solar radiation and people who come from those countries. But also in our latitudes it is by no means completely vanished. It is frequently the cause for chronical indigestion. Also children and even babies are concerned. Natural joghurt is better than milk, because lactose is decoposed by lactic acid bacteria. But sometimes in joghurt from supermarkets - even in organic joghurt - you find lactose containing milk powder. Meanwhile it is not so difficult to prefer a cure with natural beeproduce rather than one with other sweets, because not only milk powder is contaminated with melamine but also soylecithine and other produce made of soy, even eggs. Morbus crohn. Preventive measures against hardening of the arteries and stroke with apitherapeutical cure-packages. Common framehive beekeeping and travelling with beecolonies - as it is also common among organic beekeepers - is not suitable for obtaining that quality of beeproduce which is needed for apitherapeutical beeproduce.

Mechanistical point of view in Bio- /lifesciences /Medicine and unpredictable causes - Rheumatism/ natural Apitherapy

Abstract: Rheumatic diseases cannot be cured by allopathic Medicine (comonly genetically modified antibody); natural apitherapeutical produce and cure packages can cure. Critical multiple organ collapse caused by socalled "magic balls" - such as antibodies from rats "humanized" with the help of genetic engineering for "curing" rheumatism. Therapeutical Antibodies are now registered as high risk substances. Time and time again new severe side effects of these humanized antibodies such as Natalizumab (Tysabri), Trastuzumab (Herceptin), Bevacizumab (Avastin), Rituximab ("MabThera") occur. Nevertheless Biotechnology companies swear by humanized antibodies. Especially rheumatism can be cured really good by natural Apitherapy. More...

Global eco-management - turning away from dinosaur-technologies such as biotechnology, especially agro genetic engineering

Abstract: rejecting materialism. Rejecting agro genetic engineering also in Germany. Future of CDU/CSU. But also worldwide rejecting of agro-biotechnology and hybride-technologies. Many asian farmers want to care about their fields themselves again, and they have become more self-confident. "Local rice seeds and organic fertilizer bring us prosperity". More...

Of course there are still advocates of agro-biotechnology such as Robert Zeigler, Director of the International Rice research institute on Pilippines (IRRI), Achim Dobermann, chief of research in IRRI, Steen Riisgaard, largest producer of genetically modified enzymes and leader of danish World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer from ETH Zurrich, Bill Gates and his Gates Foundation etc; but here is all what you can hear mainly echo out of emty heads. More...

Until now philippine farmers refuse to grow hybride and genetically modified seeds from Bayer, Monsanto, Syngenta, Pioneer - despite of lavish subventions. They complain about too small prices, no demand for it and poor quality. The same apply to "golden rice", which was created with gentic engineering by Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer from ETH Zurrich 10 years ago. It contains more provitamine A, iron and essential amino acids as normal rice is said to prevent deficiency symtoms. Nowadays it is well known that artificially added vitamins or those added by genetic engineering can cause heavy diseases. This is a fact that should be known by all interested human beings with ability to take things in. Bill Gates is not one of this group. His Gates foundation supports the spread of these kind of genetically modified seeds. Green, red, and white biotechnology not suitable for global eco-management. Michael Braungart: We are sitting on the titanic, spoon the water with a tablespoon instead with a teaspoon and say, the direction is correct.

Bush-Administration left behind nothing but contaminated land, junk scientists and junk burocrats

Even Obama's team includes dangerous biotech "Yes Men". Every country has it's Biotech “Yes Men” and "Yes women". The most prominent in Germany for instance are Annette Schavan and Angela Merkel. Both are well known for their ability to take the best from what is useless. They don't want to stop on the way in the blind alley; they love junk science and support biotech- and pesticide-industry in Germany and Europe. Maybe one day one will say Merkel-Administration left behind nothing but contaminated land, junk scientists and junk burocrats. Biotech “Yes Men” on Obama’s team threaten to expand the use of dangerous genetically modified (GM) foods in our diets. Instead of giving us change and hope, they may prolong the hypnotic “group think” that has been institutionalized over three previous administrations—where critical analysis was abandoned in favor of irrational devotion to this risky new technology.

Monsanto, FDA and the GM-crop-Desaster

The US government payments to farmers are several $ billions annually due to GM crops. Growers have only been kept afloat by the huge jump in subsidies. genetic pollution caused by today’s GMOs could theoretically outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. Genetically modified sugar beets. A brand killed about 100 Americans and caused 5,000-10,000 to become sick or permanently disabled. The average GM crop reduces yield. Herbicide tolerant crops lower yields and increase herbicide use. In India thousands of Bt cotton farmers committed suicide - the rate in one region was one suicide every eight hours. On Monsanto`s bribery-system, dirty tricks, pack of lies and all the little blackguards and vice-blackguards: FDA policy created by Michael Taylor states, "The agency is not aware of any information showing that foods derived by these new methods differ from other foods in any meaningful or uniform way." On the basis of this sentence, the FDA claimed that no safety studies are necessary; biotech companies thus determine on their own if their products are harmless. Internal records were made public due to a lawsuit and the deception came to light. But it was too late. GM crops were widespread - and Michael Taylor had been duly rewarded after leaving the FDA by becoming a Monsanto vice president. More...

Biosafety? Unscientific assumptions the basis of approvals? - blatant propaganda exercise stands validated as exemplary science - Toxic gm foods could have been approved

Submissions to the US Food and Drug Administraion (FDA) may be worse than in other countries, since the agency doesn't actually require any data. Their policy—overseen by Monsanto's former attorney who later became the company's vice president—says that biotech companies can determine if their own foods are safe. Anything submitted is voluntary and, according to former Environmental Protection Agency scientist Doug Gurian-Sherman, "often lack[s] sufficient detail, such as necessary statistical analyses needed for an adequate safety evaluation." Using Freedom of Information Requests, Gurian-Sherman analyzed more than a fourth of the data summaries of GM crops reviewed by the FDA. He says, "Our evaluation found that the biotechnology companies provide inadequate data to ensure their products are safe".
Two GM foods whose commercialization was stopped because of negative test results give a chilling example of what may be getting through. Rats fed GM potatoes had potentially precancerous cell growth in the stomach and intestines, less developed brains, livers, and testicles, partial atrophy of the liver, and damaged immune systems. GM peas provoked an inflammatory response in mice, suggesting that the peas might trigger a deadly anaphylactic shock in allergic humans. Both of these dangerous crops, however, could easily have been approved. The problems were only discovered because the researchers used advanced tests that were never applied to GM crops already on the market. Both would have passed the normal tests that companies typically use to get their products approved. Ironically, when Monsanto was asked to comment on the pea study, their spokesperson said it demonstrated that the regulatory system works. He failed to disclose that none of the company's GM crops had been put through such rigorous tests. More...

Genetically modified (GM) foods are unhealthy and unsafe

Genetically modified (GM) foods are inherently unsafe, and current safety assessments are not competent to protect us from or even identify most dangers. Soy allergies jumped 50% in the U.K. just after GM soy was introduced. immune responses are triggered by both the natural Bt toxin in spray form and Bt crops. The concentration of Bt toxin in crops, however, can be thousands of times higher than in sprays; and changes in its protein structure make the crop version more likely to provoke reactions in humans. Additional evidence: When populations were exposed to Bt spray, hundreds complained of allergic reactions; exposed farm workers also exhibited antibody responses.
Bt-cotton workers in India reported sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, skin eruptions, itching and burning, red skin and eyes, facial swelling, and fever. Some people required hospitalization. The two lists are nearly identical-only "exacerbations of asthma" was on the spray list and not the other. Asthma and breathing difficulties were reported by Filipinos who inhaled Bt-corn pollen. They also described swollen faces, flu-like symptoms, fever, and sneezing. Some individuals in both India and the Philippines also reported long-term effects after exposure. The list of symptoms in the Philippines, however, did contain items not reported by the other two groups. These included coughs, headache, stomach ache, dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, and numbness. Reproductive Problems. More...

Toxic food - not only for cows, sheeps and honeybees - made by Monsanto & Co

Abstract: Toxic milk from Monsanto's rbGH-cows in USA and elsewhere. Milk from rbGH-treated cows may increase risk of cancer. World renowned biologist Pushpa M. Bhargava goes one step further. After reviewing more than 600 scientific journals, he concludes that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a major contributor to the sharply deteriorating health of Americans. More and more doctors are already prescribing GM-free diets. Dr. Amy Dean, a Michigan internal medicine specialist, and board member of AAEM says, “I strongly recommend patients eat strictly non-genetically modified foods.” Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles says “I used to test for soy allergies all the time, but now that soy is genetically engineered, it is so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it.” Pregnant women and babies at great risk. Eating a corn chip produced from Bt corn might transform our intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories, possibly for the rest of our lives. When evidence of gene transfer is reported at medical conferences around the US, doctors often respond by citing the huge increase of gastrointestinal problems among their patients over the last decade. GM foods might be colonizing the gut flora of North Americans (2009, 8, # 351)

The common practise to spread forbidden products (for instance bioengineered pigs), is, to sell them accidentally to market

The FDA has officially closed its investigation on a 2003 food safety mishap, wherein nearly 400 bioengineered pigs, developed for research, mistakenly ended up in the U.S. food supply. The University of Illinois says it accidentally sold the pigs to a livestock dealer, instead of incinerating them, as is required by law. The FDA claims it cannot make a statement regarding potential risk to human health, given the fact that the researchers kept insufficient records. The mishap follows on the heels of a similar situation occurring in 2001, when genetically engineered pigs were stolen from the University of Florida, and later turned up in the sausage served at a funeral in High OB #66 (9/29/2005)

GMO-free States? - More and more States listen to warninigs regarding unrecognized ecological consequences -as many people are not born yesterday

Are there reasons to vote for the green genetic modification? The most important German daily Newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) don't want to "accord in the choir of the genetic modification - lobbyists and glorify each product of the green genetic modification, possibly planting even all fields therewith. America, where in the south west one of the most strange and biologic poorest agrarian steppes of the earth extends, delivers a warning example, regarding agriculture as well as the eating culture. That there are detectives and lawyers hiking over the fields to search for farmers, who cultivated illicitly, or unintentionally seeds developed by these Biotech-firm, makes no appetite on genetechnically modified food".

Most people are born not yesterday, however, there are still existing some of those from yesterday. For example the Spanish Minister of Agriculture Miguel Arias Canete. In matters of genetic modification he doesn’t know any fears of contact. As one of the largest adressee countries for subsidies from EU, Spain squanders the money for the subvention of the green genetic modification. „ The interest of our farmers increases. In Spain there is an enormous demand concerning the new genetically changed kinds ", said the Spanish Agriculture Minister on a conferrence in Brussels. Spain is regarding cultivation of transgenic plants outrider in the European Union. About 32.000 hectare would already be cultivated with genetically altered maize, said Canete. - In future one needs to be more cautious with agricultural products made in Spain, also the subsidies from Brussels better should be distributed to other, GMO-free countries.

The following firms are waiting for admission of their GE-products: Syngenta (formerly Novartis), Monsanto, plants Genetic System, Amylogene, Bayer CropScience, KWS seed. Test case for the further proceeding in the EU - approval procedure is a sweet maize of the Swiss enterprise Syngenta, which shall be exported as canned goods grown from the associated States to Europe. Maize, Soy, potatoes, sugar beets and cotton shall follow.

Important according the FAZ are the sceptical answers of the environmental and consumer protectors: „ They warn of unrecognized ecological consequences later by the damage of beneficial insects, or of the creation of 'Super weeds ', which some time or other will get out of control. Also the effects on the human health are not completely clarified. Neither allergies can be excluded nor toxical, or carcinogen effects in the long run".

EU is furthemore against GMOs - "Green Genetic Modification" - the most severe regression in animal - and plant breeding which ever occured in history?

The majority of the population in the EU is furthermore against GMOs. The population sees in that "green genetic modification" not the frequently so described "third industrial revolution" but the most severe regression in animal - and plant breeding which ever occured in history. That changes neither by the action of the United States, Canada and Argentina at the Worldtrade Organisation (WTO) against the EU about a since five years maintained prohibition for the import of GMOs, nor by the saying of the most powerful man of earth, 'GMOs are safe and could unscrupulous get cultivated and consumed'. Now the matter is to renew that since five years consisting prohibition, and to prevent the first admissions, because "the admission of a maize kind developed by the company Syngenta is valid as a leading case for other approbations" (FAZ).

Manifold Landscapes?

One of the main side effects of this third industrial revolution, the so- called „green genetically engineering ", are nevertheless the clearanced and devasted landscapes. Thanks of ecological farming „green genetically engineering ", will at least be kept off these areas - however a completely new concept is needed.

Dr. van Elsen says: „Ecological - also biologic-dynamical managing alone is no guaranty for a manifold landscape".

New strategies concerning farming are necessary - and here's called upon each single country of this earth, to develope and realize these strategies. Our experts centres can offer help support; but to decide keeping GMOs away from agriculture, is up to the people and the chosen representatives of each single country - a decision which cannot be delayed.
