Canola & Soy, Oh My!
Now then. Let us define Canola. Let’s start with it’s artificial name, shall we? “Can”-o-la. ‘MADE IN CANADA”. It is actually “Rape” seed oil or “Lear” oil. But who would buy “rape seed oil”? Definitely Not me.
Once Canada modified the rape seed to a lower erucic acid, insects still sensed this repellent and stayed away; but those inventors still saw their wallets growing fatter. They hired talented promoters, advertisers; following the traditional Rockefeller footsteps. Just as he hired Ivy Lee, the original “spin doctor” to (ever so sympathetically) misrepresent the truth in order to remedy his reputation, following the Ludlow massacre. We are such a gullible group! We believe “Everything” don’t we?
And, let’s not forget those “Medical Experts”. The ones that can get their wallets padded, just by putting their name on a product. Has anyone ever seen one of these “medical experts” actually taking/trying/ eating what-ever it is that they so vividly endorse? Didn’t think so! (I bet we are all capable of reading reports and teleprompters just like them; only we don’t get paid the substantial funds for the mis-truths’ that they do, nor the exposure.)
Now that they had Canadians hooked on their deception, it was time to cross the border to a larger assembly, and dupe them as well. Easy Prey. Just have to pay the FDA $50,000,000. to get a ‘GRAS’ endorsement. Now “gras” doesn’t mean anything other then ‘IT IS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE”. Interpretation = Not Tested! “Assumption of safety!” “Nothing Thus Far Proving it Harmful”! Just as aspartame, equal, sweet’ n low, are all ‘GRAS’. They are safe products! They have no reason to lie to us. (or do they $$$)
Years ago, when I was researching this new “healthy” food, the fact that I found distressful was that there had been No long term studies done, nor were there any human studies reported. Any testing was typically ended “abruptly”, and I couldn’t find one study that exceeded one year. That, to me, was very disturbing. All I was able to find were studies on pigs and rats, and all the studies ended with a very similar result. Lesions! On the heart, lungs, kidneys. In one study, I read, the lesions actually were disappearing from one area, while re-emerging on another. But the examiner couldn’t confirm that the elimination of “ such lesions “ was necessarily a positive finding (they halted the funding!)
Now, when it comes to soy, every woman should read this article. I remember going around and around with my doc over this topic. hypothyroidism is one of the most difficult diagnosis to establish. Even the endocrinologist never seem to agree. Your best bet. Take your temperature. If your waking temperature is below 97.6F, you’ve probably got thyroid issues. In any event, everyone should already be on iodine. Are you allergic? Don’t think so! How can humans be allergic to something that is a necessary part of their body?
I had to ask. I work with doc’s. Time to toss this one out there. It did get a couple thinking enough to research it. What I was eventually returned with was this: “the iodine that is used in medicine has “preservatives”, as well as other chemical compositions.” Bottom line; People who have a reaction to I.V. or topical Iodine are probably having a reaction to the chemicals in the product, and not the iodine itself.
To add my own opinion to this. Iodine is an antibacterial. If it is doing it’s work, and you happen to have a reaction. Then it is probably eliminating your body from bacteria. If the reaction is substantial; then cut back on the iodine. You do want that bacteria to be removed! Lugol’s and Iodoral are safe, natural iodine. Unfortunately, our bodies have been cleansed of most “natural” health substances which may result in possibly a few reactions.
If anyone is as old as I am, you may remember that iodine used to be in most baked goods, and if I recall correctly, somewhere the 70’s it was switched to a bromine derivative. Hence, when you look at the fact that most people are iodine deficient, then we add soy to the mix, which is a known goitrogenic (prevents iodine uptake by thyroid). Does anyone question the fact that “synthroid” use is growing by leaps and bounds. But it doesn’t end there. It would be wise to read the adverse effects of thyroid medications before ingesting them. Most cause the imminent death of whatever function the thyroid has left.
I found that by taking substantial doses of potassium iodide, tyrosine, gugalipid, a good quality mineral supplement, and chemical free diet, my thyroid began repairing itself. Funny how the body actually “can” repair itself. It may take months, sometimes a year or two. But isn’t it worth it?
Since I have pets, and they were showing similar signs of infection, I found sites which are very informative for similar pet health issues. Many of the same issues affect both human as well as our animal friends. Thyroid, Arthritis, Colitis, Cancers. Most of which can be avoided if we take what we learn about our own health and apply it to them. I no longer allow an animal of mine to have any vaccines; (I had to educate the vet on that subject, but he learned well), they eat real foods, and oddly enough, they do not possess any typical health issues as are common for their age or stage of life. As a result of over-lapping health issues, I find such sites as Shirley’s wellness cafe, well researched and very informative when it comes to my pets.
All in all, when a product is “over” emphasized as being “exceptionally beneficial” to Us; it may be wise to follow the money trail, and see who may benefit from the sales of such product. In this case; the chemical company makes/modifies the foods, (which are Patented, of course), and the drug companies benefit from the illnesses that are created.
By the way, the drug companies ARE the chemical companies too!
