Pineapples fed high-dose cadmium poisoned fertiliser from China

First it was poisoned chicken feed and contaminated dog food from China, now its fertilizer stacked with high doses of cadmium. When are complacent customers going to check their food sources, be they struggling farmers looking for a cheap way out, or Regular Joe’s and Jane’s scanning supermarket shelves?

Better still, when are more people going to wake up to the dangers of cheap chemical fertilisers enough to rush helter skelter into organic food production before we all have to grow our own food in case store bought stuff kills us on the spot?

Scientists keep telling us commercial fertilisers are made up of chemicals and ‘chemicals are not dangerous, plants can’t survive without them’. Well, sure enough, but it’s the extra bits in the containers we should be worried about – in the end, our immune systems have to fight off the accumulated and unwanted high levels of chemicals which our bodies cannot assimilate and cannot get rid of either

Who wants to end up with bodies rich as a Swiss Bank in chemicals packed away in dark corners of our tissues like some nebulous demon, waiting to pounce as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or more?

Stem Cell ‘Cure’ for Diabetes Type 1

The TimesOnline article sounds like a miracle cure, and for Type 1 sufferers will come as a possible life line.

Far be it for any of us to debate the pros and cons of stem cell research at the expense of people suffering with this disease, be it from childhood or as a result of diabetes Type 2 which has developed out of control.

However, from a nutritional standpoint, there is much that can be done to support the immune system of Type 1 diabetes sufferers, and even more for Type 2 diabetics, who can reverse the condition before it develops into Type 1 if they diligently follow the guidelines of nutritionally aware health professionals.

Many diets developed from a dietetic aspect through a medical approach are destined to turn Type 2 diabetics into Type 1 within 5 – 10 years, but this is not necessary and there are many cases of completely reversed Type 2 diabetics to prove the point.
