I just had to post this again
Hi Jimi,
What I am about to tell you is so unreal, so unbelievable, and we say “this could never happen here“. But it is happening and it’s extremely dangerous to all of us.
My good friend, Jeffrey Smith (one of the world renowned leaders on the dangers of GMOs) has presented his information on GMOs at numerous medical conferences, and before any legislative bodies, and, at my last count in 57 different countries! In response, health practitioners have seen the protective and healing benefits to prescribing
non-GMO organic diets to their patients (and seeing dramatic results!). Jeffrey has shifted the awareness of millions of people on this suppressed topic. I’m not embarrassed to say he’s one of my heroes.
And now there’s a new threat: GENETIC ENGINEERING.
We have only until September 30th to submit comments to the Environmental Protection Agency on the outrageous proposal of allowing a biotech firm (Oxitec) to release genetically engineered
mosquitoes in 12 California counties.

If you have even one minute more, with a few more clicks, you can send a press release to your local media and
a prewritten email to your elected officials.
(You are also welcome to customize the emails if you have the time.)
Here are some of the details you might want to know on this issue:
In spite of strong opposition from local residents and experts, the EPA approved Oxitec’s controversial genetically engineered mosquitoes in the Florida Keys in May.
Now Oxitec proposes to extend the Florida experiment and start releases in California as part of their
nationwide rollout.
Genetically engineered mosquitoes carry
unprecedented dangers for the health of our country and our environment.
This is unbelievable. It would be hard to make this up. Something out of a disaster movie. So please, take the time to do something. Give 10 - 15 minutes to do your small part. I promise it will make a difference.
Previous trials in Brazil, Cayman Islands, Panama, and Malaysia
failed to reduce any of the diseases that can be transmitted by the targeted mosquito,
and results proved the safety assurances by Oxitec and EPA were false.
- Oxitec guaranteed that biting female mosquitoes would not be released, but their technology failed and residents in four nations were exposed to millions of these genetically engineered disease carriers.
- Oxitec promised that the mosquitoes would die off once the releases were terminated. Independent tests confirm they permanently changed the gene pool, creating never-before-seen genetic hybrids with unknown characteristics.
One would think that such a dangerous technology with potentially irreversible impacts would face the most rigorous scrutiny, right? The EPA conducted a shoddy, non-transparent assessment that relied almost exclusively on data submitted by Oxitec.
This is both a national and global issue.
Please go to the Advocacy Platform to add your name to a comment for the EPA, and click-and-send alerts to media and elected officials.
On behalf of humans and nature, thank you for your help.

PS: You have heard me say many times
that the total sum of environmental toxins we are exposed to has overwhelmed our global immune system. We MUST think of these genetically engineered life forms as a toxin - and protect our planet
and our species.
