HEALTH CANADA ADMITS SAFETY CODE 6 GUIDELINE FOR MICROWAVE RADIATION IS BASED ONLY ON THERMAL EFFECTS!

February 20, 2013.  I just returned from a hearing in Montreal in front of the Superior Court of Quebec where Health Canada scientist, James McNamee, admitted that the Safety Code 6 guideline for microwave radiation (which includes radiation from most of the devices we are concerned about like mobile phones, cell phone antennas, Wi-Fi, wireless toys and baby monitors, smart meters etc.) is based ONLY on preventing a heating effect!
Heath Canada logo
Let me state that again.  Health Canada admits that Safety Code 6 for frequencies between 100 kHz and 300 GHz are based ONLY on heating.
Why is this so important?
For years Health Canada has stated that Safety Code 6 takes into consideration and protects the public from both thermal and non-thermal effects.  They made this statement to groups concerned about Wi-Fi in schools and to those concerned about smart meters and cell towers coming into their neighborhoods.  While they are technically correct in their statement, they mislead the public by what they failed to mention.  What Health Canada failed to mention is that the “non-thermal” effects are considered ONLY for frequencies between 3 and 100 kHz.  For frequencies between 100 kHz and 300 GHz ONLY thermal effects are considered and cell towers fall within this “thermal range.”
That is not the only thing that was novel and refreshing at this hearing.
Superior Court of Quebec LOGO
This is the first time a provincial court (Superior Court of Quebec) has challenged the right of municipal governments to address health concerns expressed by citizens regarding federally regulated radio frequency radiation.
Let me explain what this hearing is about.  It is a story concerning Rogers and the City of Chateauguay.
Rogers wanted to erect a monopole tower (35 meters tall) with multiple antennas in a residential section of the City of Chateauguay in Quebec within 15 meters of the nearest property line.  We have regulations in Canada that for towers taller than 15 meters, the wireless provider has to hold a public meeting.  The meeting was held and those who lived nearby expressed their concerns about health effects associated with the radiation from this proposed tower.
Mayor Chateauguay, Nathalie SimonThe Mayor of Chateauguay, Nathalie Simon, took these concerns seriously and asked city planners to find an alternative site for the tower.  They did and they contacted Industry Canada, who needs to approve the tower location as they provide the license to the operator, and Industry Canada accepted the new location.  City planners also contacted Rogers who agreed this location would work but it was not their first choice.  In order to facilitate the erection of this tower, the City of Chateauguay expropriated the land so the tower could be built.
But then things began to fall apart.  Rogers decided they did not want to go ahead with this new location and the case ended up in court, in front of the Superior Court of Quebec.
I was called as an expert witness for the City of Chateauguay and the hearing was scheduled for November 2011.  Just prior to the hearing, Rogers tried to get my testimony and anything to do with “health” thrown out of court because health of radio frequency radiation comes under federal jurisdiction (Health Canada & Industry Canada) and neither a municipality nor a province may question Health Canada’s jurisdiction in this matter.  [More about this later.] Up until now, each court has agreed with Rogers and health could not be discussed when it came to the siting of cell phone base stations. Or, if it was discussed, it did not influence the final decision made by Industry Canada.
Justice Perrault, Quebec JudgeBut Quebec is different.  The judge, Madam Justice Perrault, stated that she would allow health to be discussed because it was health that the citizens were concerned about and she wanted to know if their concerns had any scientific merit.
Nikolas Blanchette, lawyer for Rogers
The law firm representing Rogers Communications Inc. and their attorney, Nikolas Blanchette, suddenly found themselves in an awkward position.   Rogers’ attorneys were so certain the court would rule in their favor that they neglected to hire an expert witness to testify on Rogers’ behalf!
The hearing was moved to February 2012 and Roger’s Subpoenaed, James McNamee, a Health Canada scientist to testify.   Dr. McNamee, came to court with three massive binders of documents.   This was unusual as Dr. McNamee was sworn in as a witness, and not as an “expert” witness.
The major difference between an “expert witness” and a “witness” is that the expert witness may provide his/her opinion on issues related to their expertise.  In other words they are able to interpret the facts, while a witness can only provide facts.
Patrice Gladu, lawyer for ChateauguayPatrice Gladu (from the law firm Dunton Rainville S.E.N.C.R.L.), the lawyer representing the City of Chateauguay, objected and argued that the information in those binders should be inadmissible as Dr. McNamee was not being considered as an expert witness in front of this court.  After both sides presented their arguments, Justice Perrault took a short recess to consider her decision.  She returned siding with Mr. Gladu and said that according to law, as Dr. McNamee was not sworn in as an expert witness he could testify only to those  documents that were Health Canada documents and he was unable to express his opinion about the other documents except as they pertained to Health Canada’s decision regarding Safety Code 6.
Fasken Martineau, the law firm representing Rogers, objected to this ruling and asked to take their case to the Court of Appeal.  Justice Perrault granted that appeal.  Months later the ruling came out that upheld Justice Perrault’s decision and the hearing resumed.
It is now February 2013.  Dr McNamee returned to present his testimony and to be cross examined.  He went through every document in the 3 binders and was asked the same question each time by his lawyer.
What is this document and what role did it play in establishing Safety Code 6?”
Each time Dr. McNamee gave a short answer.
For documents that Health Canada did NOT consider Dr. McNamee’s response was . . .
  • “Does not support non-specific health symptoms, not considered in Safety Code 6 2009.”
  • “Non-support for conclusions, did not review document for Safety Code 6.”
  • “Levitt and Lai, was not considered in 2009.  Their opinion is contrary to Health Canada’s opinion and they don’t take same approach of health agencies.”
For documents that Health Canada DID consider, Dr. McNamee stated . . .
  • “Helped to reinforce our own assessment of the literature.”
  • [This was a] “reference document that supports our conclusions.”
  • “‘Document supported Health Canada’s decision.”
Dr. McNamee went further and stated that most studies dealing with non-thermal effects were poorly conducted and were rejected by Health Canada. McNamee states that a large number of studies show an adverse effect; a large number of studies don’t show effects, and that the better studies are the ones that show “no effect.”
I have two points to make here.
The first is that Health Canada is cherry picking the studies they include for the Safety Code 6 decisions. They include ONLY studies that support their own conclusions.  This is NOT how science is conducted. Obviously, Dr. McNamee and his fellow scientists at Health Canada are unfamiliar with the work of Dr. Karl Popper on falsification.
Popper, who was one of the preeminent 20th century philosophers of science stated that one does not test an hypothesis by pointing out each time an observation supports it.  The proper scientific method to test an hypothesis is through falsification, by trying to find a situation where it is not supported by observation.
The example Popper gives is the statement that, “all swans are white.”  You may count as many white swans as you like but that does not prove that all swans are white.  What you need to do is look for a black swan.  Once you find a black swan you may state that, “not all swans are white” and as such you have falsified your original hypothesis.  This is the proper scientific method.
What the Health Canada scientists are doing is “cherry picking” or counting white swans and as such are not conducting science properly.  Click here for video on this topic.  

The second point is that Dr. McNamee is demonstrating bias when he states that better studies are the ones that show “no effect.”  What is that statement based on?  Where is the document that identifies which studies Health Canada considered and which ones were ignored?  Where is the document identifying flaws  in peer-reviewed scientific studies?
Whenever IARC or any other agency evaluates the scientific literature for the purpose of policy setting, it is customary for them to provide a monograph documenting the studies that were included and how they were weighed, and the studies not included with justification for their omission.  Health Canada, to my knowledge, has NOT produced such a document for non-ionizing radiation.  There is no disclosure about the processes Health Canada uses to assess scientific studies.  When Dr. McNamee was asked how Health Canada conducts the “weight of evidence” he was unable to provide a clear, comprehensive answer and referred instead to references from other organizations.
In the 1999 version of Health Canada Safety Code a very important statement on page 11 of that report  that was omitted from the 2009 version of SC6.  That statements reads as follows:
Certain members of the general public may be more susceptible to harm from RF and microwave exposure.
According to Dr. McNamee, what this statement referred to is that among the public there is “a wide range of body sizes, health status, and different thermal regulation properties” and that Health Canada is acknowledging ONLY a thermal effect by the term “susceptible” and that “Health Canada does not acknowledge electroshypersensitivity.”
What does a country do when the leading federal health authority, Health Canada, is not doing its job properly?  What role do provincial and municipal governments play in this regard?  Do these governments not also have the ability to protect the health of their citizens?  Isn’t that why we have provincial Ministries of Health and Municipal Health Authorities.  Weren’t municipal governments responsible for bringing bylaws forward about toxic chemicals used in lawn care despite the fact that Health Canada has federal jurisdiction over the toxic chemicals that were involved?
One very interesting statement in the Preface of Safety Code 6 (2009) is the following (page 3):
The purpose of this code is to establish safety limits for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The safety limits in this code apply to all individuals working at, or visiting, federally regulated sites. These guidelines may also be adopted by the provinces, industry or other interested parties.
If I understand this correctly, Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 does NOT automatically apply to provinces, industry, or other interested parties.  So the much reduced guideline proposed by the Board of Health for the City of Toronto originally in 1999 (Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Sheela Basrur) and reaffirmed in 2007 can be applied to the City of Toronto!
At that time, Toronto wanted the federal guidelines reduced to 1/100th of the current guidelines to be more in line with Russia and other countries with much more protective guidelines.  In the 2007 document from Toronto Board of Health (click here for this document), the Federal guidelines were correctly identified as being based on an “acute thermal effect” with “acute” referring to short-term, high exposure.
table 1 Toronto Board of Health 2007
Since the guidelines have not changed and with Dr. McNamee finally admitting that the guidelines in question regarding cell towers are based ONLY on preventing a thermal effect, it is accurate to say that Canada does not have a guideline to protect Canadians from long-term exposure to “non-thermal” levels of microwave radiation!
Justice Perrault has six months (end of August 2013) to complete her deliberations regarding where this tower will be erected.  The outcome could be precedent setting in Quebec and in Canada.

WHAT DOES COCA COLA'S DASANI BOTTLED WATER HAVE IN COMMON WITH DEATH BY LETHAL INJECTION?

2007 08 31
By Stephen Fox | stephen@santafefineart.com
The third largest ingredient in Dasani is potassium chloride. If you areto be put death, first you get a barbiturate, then a paralytic agent, and then the chemical to stop your heart (what a coincidence!) you guessed it: potassium chloride! "If you take everything out of the water, you don't get the crisp, clean taste that consumers desire," was the sanguine comment of Kim Price, spokesman for Coca-Cola. Question from Student at Oregon State University: I just noticed potassium chloride was listed as an ingredient in some bottled waters (Dasani, for example). But I remember from Chemistry and other sources of information KCl is used for lethal injections and is often times hazardous... so why would it be in bottled water?

Corporate Party line Answer: Potassium is a mineral found in a variety of natural foods and it is needed for your body to function properly. The reason you may see Potassium Chloride (KCl) as an ingredient in bottled waters is to help replenish a person's natural potassium stores. The amount of KCl a person consumes through food and beverage consumption is much less than is necessary for it to be harmful to a person's health. In order for KCl to be toxic, a person would have to consume more than 2500 mg/kg of KCl, which is an extremely large amount of KCl.

After contacting Coca-Cola directly, a representative from Coca-Cola stated that potassium chloride is added to their Dasani bottled water "because consumers prefer it." After conducting several taste-test studies, the results showed that consumers prefer water with the mineral (Potassiu chloride) than without it. The representative stated that the amount of KCl in the Dasani water is negligible according to FDA standards. This means there is less than 5 mg of KCl in each bottle of water. Another Coke representative, Ray Crockett, told Sun News last week that “the amount of KCL is tiny; there are no health effects for anybody, and that it is added for taste and to satisfy customer preference.” In other words, according to Coke: NO PROBLEM!

Checking a little further, we found that Potassium Chloride has some alarming properties: first, Potassium chloride occurs naturally as sylvite and is also extracted from salt water and can be manufactured by crystallization from solution, flotation or electrostatic separation from suitable minerals. It is a by-product of the making of nitric acid from potassium nitrate and hydrochloric acid. The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, because the growth of many plants depends on their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is used in water as a completion fluid in oil and gas operations. Side effects can include gastrointestinal discomfort including nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding of the gut. Overdoses cause hyperkalemia which can lead to paresthesia, cardiac conduction blocks, fibrillation and arrhythmias.

Lethal injection has 3 steps: first, Sodium thiopental: to render the “offender” unconscious; second, Pancuronium/Tubocurarine: to stop all muscle movement except the heart. This causes muscle paralysis, collapse of the diaphragm, and would eventually cause death by asphyxiation. Last: Potassium chloride: to stop the heart from beating, and thus cause death. In 1977, Jay Chapman, Oklahoma's state medical examiner, proposed a new, 'more humane' method of execution: "An intravenous saline drip shall be started in the prisoner's arm, into which shall be introduced a lethal injection consisting of an ultra-short-acting barbiturate in combination with a chemical paralytic." The People's Republic of China began using this method in 1997, Guatemala in 1998, and the Philippines in 1999; other countries have also legally, but not practically adopted the method. Nazi Germany's T-4 Euthanasia Program used lethal injection (with drugs that differed from the modern method) as one of several methods to destroy "life unworthy of life." ("Life unworthy of life"(in German: "Lebensunwertes Leben") was a Nazi designation for the segments of populace that, according to racial policies of the Third Reich, had no right to live and thus were to be "exterminated." This concept formed an important component of the ideology of Nazism and eventually led to the Holocaust.) Among other "contraindications" for taking potassium chloride as medicine are these: kidney disease; Addison's disease; stomach ulcer or intestinal blockage; and chronic diarrhea. There is another one, according to the FDA which is almost never there to protect you: FDA pregnancy category C.” This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether potassium chloride passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.” Yet there are no warnings of any kind on a bottle of Dasani....

So if you drink a lot of Dasani, like 6-7 bottles a day, perhaps less, you might develop some of these symptoms: paralysis, numbness or tingly feeling, uneven heartbeat, feeling light- headed, fainting, chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, seizure (convulsions), or coma. If they persist or if you die from "Dasani poisoning," on behalf of your living survivors, ask your lawyer to get in touch with Neville Isdell, the Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. Contact information:(404) 676-2121 | 1 Coca Cola Plz NW Atlanta, GA 30313. He has a phalanx of telephone operators who won’t connect you, however, so you might prefer to directly speak to the Vice President of Coca Cola for New Mexico, Antonio Anaya. Perhaps Mr. Anaya will be more truthful to you about this issue than he was when he told a Legislative Committee in 2006 that New Mexico would lose 600 jobs if aspartame were banned, and in 2007 that the entire ban aspartame bill reminded him of something out of “Twilight Zone.”
Our efforts might be productive, after all: in May 2007, Coca-Cola reformulated two of its soft drinks in the US to halt a lawsuit alleging they may contain the cancer-causing chemical, benzene. Coca-Cola, while still denying the allegation, said it changed formulas in its Vault Zero and Fanta Pineapple drinks in September 2006 to minimize benzene formation, the settlement document says. PepsiCo, Coca- Cola's arch-rival, which recently admitted that its bottled water comes straight out of the tap, still has action pending against it . Benzene is a known carcinogen and concerns over its presence in drinks went public last year, following an investigation by BeverageDaily.com and US lawyer Ross Getman. The widely used preservative sodium benzoate breaks down to form benzene in drinks also containing either ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or citric acid. America's soft drinks industry and food safety officials had known this for 15 years, internal memos show, although levels found were “not considered a risk to consumers' health.” Coke said it would ensure anyone performing a Google search for 'benzene', together with either of the products, would be directed to a special message on the Coca-Cola website.

News of Coca-Cola's reformulation is likely to spark more questions as to why these ingredients are still being used in drinks. America's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made a private deal for the soft drinks industry to "get the word out and reformulate", according to Greg Diachenko, an FDA chemist present at meetings with soft drinks firms in late 1990 and early 1991. However, independent testing, as well as probes by the FDA and food safety officials in the UK, last year again found benzene in some drinks. One ex-FDA official suggested the agency has again fallen short. "Big companies are very powerful. If you're a regulator with a tight budget, it could have been one of those closets with skeletons in that you don't want to open," he said on condition of anonymity. Soft drinks industry leaders admitted to BeverageDaily.com that the message on benzene may have been lost in places since the issue emerged in 1990. But they also argued sodium benzoate's ability to kill bacteria both cheaply and effectively outweighed negligible risks over benzene.

One final question for soft drink consumers: the primary ingredient after water and sugar in all of them is always phosphoric acid, which gives the drink its “zing.” Yet phosphoric acid is primarily used outside of the soft drink industry as an industrial solvent, to clean toilet bowls, and to oxidize raw steel, so that it can be painted. Is this something you really want to drink or that your children should be drinking?

SOME SSRI'S TIED TO HEART RHYTHM PROBLEMS



Citalopram and two other antidepressants were associated with prolongation of corrected QT interval -- a marker of increased ventricular arrhythmia risk, researchers found.
In addition to citalopram, another selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram, and the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline were related in a dose-response fashion to corrected QT interval (P<0.05 for all), according to Roy Perlis, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues.
Other antidepressants, including some SSRIs, were not significantly associated with prolonged corrected QT intervals; one agent, bupropion, was associated with shorter corrected QT intervals (P<0.05), the researchers reported online in BMJ.
"The question of whether patients for whom antidepressants will be prescribed should routinely have electrocardiograms before and/or after treatment starts cannot be addressed directly by this study," the authors wrote. "However, in terms of treatment selection, our results do suggest some variation within treatment class in terms of risk."
Citalopram in particular was the subject of a 2011 warning from the FDA about the association between higher doses of the drug and QT prolongation and torsades de pointes. The agency set the maximum daily dose at 40 mg and listed congenital long QT syndrome as a contraindication.
The FDA clarified the warning last year, removing that contraindication but stating that the drug was not recommended in that patient population. The agency also set a maximum daily dose of 20 mg for certain groups of patients, including those older than 60 and those taking an inhibitor of cytochrome P4502C19.
Perlis and colleagues explored the relationship between antidepressant use and QT interval in a general clinical population using electronic health records from the Partners HealthCare system, which includes Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and outpatient clinics.
The study included 38,397 adults (mean age 58.3) who had an electrocardiogram recorded 14 to 90 days after a prescription for an antidepressant or methadone -- which is known to prolong the QT interval -- from February 1990 to August 2011.
Overall, 20.4% of the patients had an abnormal or high corrected QT interval -- defined as 451 milliseconds or greater in men and 471 ms or greater in women. That rate was consistent across the various treatments examined in the study.
Increasing doses of citalopram, escitalopram, and amitriptyline were associated with prolongation of corrected QT interval -- and increasing doses of bupropion were associated with shortening of correct QT interval -- after adjustment for various clinical and demographic variables identified as potential confounders.
The authors noted, however, that the effect sizes were small.
Similar associations were not observed for other antidepressants, including fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, duloxetine (Cymbalta), mirtazapine, nortriptyline, and venlafaxine.
In a subset of 467 patients who had multiple electrocardiograms performed following dose changes, an increase in the dose of citalopram from 10 to 20 mg daily was associated with an average increase in the corrected QT interval of 7.8 ms (P<0.05). An increase in the dose from 20 to 40 mg was associated with a 10.3-ms bump in the corrected QT interval (P<0.01).
When the dose of bupropion increased from 100 to 200 mg, the average decrease in corrected QT interval was 19.2 ms (P<0.05).
"Our results suggest that, given its capacity to shorten QT interval, bupropion treatment might be a reasonable next step for patients partially responsive to citalopram who would otherwise require a dose increase," the authors noted.
They acknowledged that the study was limited by the lack of randomization of treatment and dose, which rendered the results subject to confounding. In addition, the use of electrocardiograms in patients taking antidepressants is not routine.
The study was supported by the NIH/National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Mental Health.

DO WOMEN REALLY NOT LIKE SEX?

October 8, 2012 Annie Stevens
If sensationalised and cunningly reported research is anything to go by, it seems that there are an awful lot of leisure activities that women are happy to participate in place of sex.  From eating chocolate, to reading questionable if intensely popular erotic literature, sleeping and watching movies, it would appear that sex does not rate highly in a woman’s list of favourite things to do. Indeed my primitive research, in the form of google predictive sentences, indicates that you could probably tap in ‘women prefer eating a cactus to sex’ and you would get some positive results. To add to the list, The Project tweeted about a new study last week claiming that 4% of women prefer grooming to shagging. Who knew that bikini waxes were so much fun? According to sex therapist Amanda Robb, the seemingly endless interest in surveying women’s attitude to sex comes down to the stereotypes that are still happily bounced around in our allegedly enlightened, post sealed section society– i.e. women lie back and think of England, men are always up for it.
“The myth that men prefer sex more than women will continually be popularised in the media due to each genders stereotyped sexual status; women are romantic and men are just plain horny …  I do think these studies give the message women are disinterested in sex, but I think this is portrayed by how the study is represented,” says Robb.
Stereotypes such as women seeking an emotional connection through sex and men wanting just, well, sex are each as damaging as the other says Robb.

“We also know that the notion men are 'always up for it' is one of the biggest misconceptions of all. … I believe the desire for sexual frequency, for sex to have an emotional connection, and for ones libido to be low is interchangeable between both genders.”
These studies remind me of a game  women used to play – which Sex and the City character are you. Or, more likely, who is Carrie and who is Charlotte, because nobody ever wanted to be Miranda or Samantha. Caustic writer AA Gill summed up the game best when he went on a Sex and the City tour of New York City for Vanity Fair magazine in 2009. The tour guide asked for a show of hands as to which character Gill's fellow SATC enthusiasts were most like.
“O.K., who’s a Samantha?” There are giggles, and a couple of birds at the back raise their hands. They might just as well have spread their legs. “Ooh! Sluts! My sort of girls!” The tour guide breathes into the microphone suggestively, and this huge intercontinental tour bus pneumatically, and empathetically, jerks itself into the traffic," writes Gill.
The problem with this example, and indeed the media’s interest in surveys that conclude that women don’t really like sex, is two-fold. For one, there  is the problematic word slut – a word that has been both the insult of choice by misogynistic shock jocks and reclaimed in slut walks around the world – but, two,  that there is something ‘naughty’ , giggle worthy and shocking about a couple of birds admitting that they, like Samantha Jones, like sex.
This attitude is depicted in movies where sex becomes a bargaining chip in a worn-in marriage (see for example the scene in recent film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen where Ewan McGregor has rather awkward sex with his wife who in post-coitus pats him on the back and says “that should do you for awhile”), in Bettina Arndt’s The Sex Diaries in which dozens of men said they didn’t get enough sex and in jokes among women about not wanting to have sex with their partners (“in the end I had to resort to sex” et al). Sex then becomes either something for the footloose and fancy free (i.e. not the settling down kinds) or a chore for the partnered up woman.  It’s little wonder that women say they would rather do X than have sex when those cheerful survey types come knocking.
As silly as these surveys may be, the danger lies in the stereotypes that underpin them. Sex is a normal, fun and important part of many romantic relationships, and indeed life. It's not always straightforward though, and intimacy issues that may arise in a partnership go far beyond any ‘would you prefer chocolate to sex’ survey. As sex therapist Amanda Robb points out, issues such as you or your partner losing interest in sex requires much “talking it out” to find out the real problems. And here’s a hint, it’s probably not because of that delicious Mars Bar in the fridge.
“Personally I don’t think anyone should have sex when they do not desire it to please another person. I think this idea has the potential to remove sex from being an intimate experience shared between loved ones, to seeming like a ‘chore’ or ‘responsibility’ in a marriage or relationship, and sex should never be a ‘task’ … The healthiest way to trouble shoot this is by talking it out. Tip: Find out what impacts each other’s libido in order to understand why each partner needs to fuel a healthy libido," says Robb.
If you pinpoint the trouble, says Robb, you can start working through to a solution.
“Once you understand the issues that may be affecting the desire to have sex you can support each other to alleviate them.  Reclaiming a happy sex life together can be as simple as changing a relationship routine i.e.: switching the time of day you have sex from night to morning, spending more time on foreplay, creating a relaxed environment and eliminating daily distractions from the bedroom. Relationship habits or ‘norms’ can be the unrecognised barriers impacting your partner’s libido. Once they are identified they can be changed to accommodate a more satisfying sex life for the two of you.”
It is true that some people might indeed prefer chocolate to sex and that is of course perfectly fine too. There will be times in your life – whether it be because of stress, children, ill-health or any other of life's challenges - that sex will be the last thing you feel like doing. But this fluctuates, and it will never be something that a media soundbite can properly capture. It is also heartening to think that despite what these surveys say, Amanda Robb - a woman who talks to people about sex for a living -  believes that women feel more confident about it than ever.
“I’d like to think that women are feeling more empowered to embrace their sexuality today and reclaim it for themselves," she says.
And that is undoubtedly far better than eating a cactus.

AUSTRALIA: VITAMIN WATER DOES NOT JUST CONTAIN VITAMINS AND WATER. SURPRISED?

26 January 2013 Article by Michael Bradley
The drink vitaminwater leaves out one key ingredient from its name: sugar. 31 - 32 grams of it per bottle to be exact. In 2009 individuals on behalf of the Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a class action in the United States against Coca-Cola over its subsidiary's product vitaminwater. Loaded with sugar, the plaintiffs claimed that the product's name and statements like 'vitamins + water = all you need' and 'this combination of zinc and fortifying vitamins can...keep you healthy as a horse' were misleading consumers by suggesting that they were making a healthy choice.
Coca-Cola sought to have the motion dismissed in 2010. Surprisingly, Coca-Cola argued that no reasonable person would really think that vitaminwater was healthy. This is a renowned defence known as puffery, dating back to the famed Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company case of the 1800s. Sometimes companies make statements relating to their products that are so ridiculous and outlandish that no one would actually believe them, bypassing accusations of the statements being misleading. CocaCola claimed that the name 'vitaminwater' would not mislead consumers and that if there was any doubt, once anyone actually tasted it, it would become obvious that the drink was packed with sugar.
That didn't work. The case is going to trial, and Coca-Cola will have to come up with a niftier argument than "oh come on, everyone knows our drinks have more sugar than a cane plantation". We reckon they'll lose, and they'd lose here too if anyone could be bothered having a go.
We do not disclaim anything about this article. We're quite proud of it really.
Specific Questions relating to this article should be addressed directly to the author.

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CAUGHT SPRAYING HIGHLY-DANGEROUS, ILLEGAL CHEMICALS ON FRAGILE WETLANDS

Originally published February 11 2013 by Jonathan Benson, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Australia is often reputed as having one of the most effective regulatory systems in the world for ensuring the safe use of chemicals. But it recently came to our attention that a regional government body in the state of Queensland has decided to develop its own endocrine-disrupting herbicide solution, which it is now spraying across large swaths of the area's coastal region to target an invasive weed species, that is also poisoning plants, animals and potentially even humans.

The government body is known as the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC), and the chemical product in question is known as "Gloricide." According to an insider tip, local officials from SCRC developed the solution several years ago without consulting an official chemical engineer, and without compiling a valid Material Data Safety Sheet (MDSS) in accordance with federal laws. The council also failed to gain a permit for the solution's use, which technically makes it illegal.

Gloricide reportedly contains a dangerous mixture of both metsulfuron methyl, a highly-toxic herbicide, and 2,4-D, a major toxic component of "Agent Orange" that the Dow Chemical Company is currently trying to deregulate for use on genetically-modified (GM) corn (http://www.naturalnews.com). Together, these two chemicals are supposed to target an invasive weed species known as gloriosa lily, but they also mimic estrogen and have the capacity to disrupt hormone balance in humans.

Gloricide has never been properly safety tested, it turns out, and many say it does not even work at eliminating the gloriosa lily, an estimate that happens to be backed by science. And yet, at the same time, Gloricide is needlessly putting numerous desired plant and animal species at risk, including endangered species like the chemical-sensitive acid frog, which resides all along Australia's Sunshine Coast.

"Gloricide is very dangerous to the health of all animals, especially frogs that absorb the chemical through their skin," explains a petition trying to ban the use of the unapproved chemical. "The council has created this toxic chemical cocktail without testing it and is using it without care or caution. We are breathing in this toxic chemical when we go to the park and swimming in it when it leaches out through the dunes into the ocean."

Former environmental director fired for refusing to poison Australia's wetlands

Back in 2011, the director of an environmental company contracted by SCRC to apply Gloricide was fired for refusing to spray it throughout Australia's sensitive dune network. Adam Presnell, former director of ATP Environmental, told the media at the time that Gloricide was being used "widely and indiscriminately," and that the chemical solution creates a "massively high risk to life and the environment."

"There is a highly risky culture emerging in council and in the bush regeneration industry, and is starting to closely resemble chemical cowboys -- kill it with chemicals any way you can, ask questions later," explained Presnell to reporters, noting that the chemicals used in Gloricide are especially toxic to aquatic animals.

As far as we can tell, Gloricide is still being used in the Sunshine Coast without approval, and the national government of Australia is doing little, if anything, to stop it. Various state and federal government bodies claim that the issue is outside their jurisdiction, which means SCRC is free to continue haphazardly using the toxic chemical blend without penalty.

EXCLUSIVE: DOW SEEKING DEREGULATION OF GE CORN RESISTANT TO 2,4-D, A MAJOR COMPONENT OF AGENT ORANGE

Monday, December 26, 2011 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com

(NaturalNews) This is an exclusive breaking news story from NaturalNews, please cite this article as the source. It was received as a tip from a concerned health advocate who found it in the federal register, then forwarded it to an industry advocacy group which then forwarded it to us: Dow AgroScience, LLC, is petitioning the U.S. government to deregulate a genetically engineered variety of corn that is resistant to 2,4-D, an extremely toxic pesticide that was 50% of the recipe to making Agent Orange (used in the Vietnam War as a weapon of mass destruction).

This is all admitted right out in the open in the federal register text:
http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/12/27/2011-33009/dow-agr...

"We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has received a petition from Dow AgroScience LLC seeking a determination of nonregulated status of corn designated as DAS-40278-9, which has been genetically engineered for increased resistance to broadleaf herbicides in the phenoxy auxin group (such as the herbicide 2,4-D) and resistance to grass herbicides in the aryloxyphenoxypropionate acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase inhibitor group (such as quizalofop herbicides)."

The chemical pesticide group 2,4-D can cause acute toxicity and was a major component (roughly 50%) of Agent Orange, says Cornell University:
http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/24d-captan/24d-ext.html

Rats fed 2,4-D produced "fetuses with abdominal cavity bleeding and increased mortality," says the Cornell link above, which also states that 2,4-D may cause infertility, birth defects, organ toxicity and neurological effects.

Previously used as a weapon in the Vietnam War, 2,4-D may now be dropped en masse on U.S. crop fields

What's most astonishing about this petition request is that if it is approved, the U.S. would then become an "agricultural war zone" where genetically engineered corn is "carpet bombed" with 2,4-D chemicals. Being resistant to such chemicals, the GE corn may then uptake those chemicals into its own structures and grain kernels, thereby creating corn laced with 2,4-D that would be unleashed when you eat your corn-based breakfast cereals or corn tortillas.

Corn is in practically everything you buy at the grocery store, one way or another. Watch the document King Corn to learn more: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1112115/

Corn is also one of the main feed sources for factory farmed cows, which are especially efficient at concentrating toxins into their fat tissues, to be unleashed when digested by humans.

If this petition is approved by the federal government -- which has long conspired with GMO companies such as Dow, Dupont and Monsanto -- it would result in the unleashing of tens of millions of gallons of toxic pesticide chemicals annually onto America's agricultural landscape (not to mention runoff into rivers, streams, lakes and oceans).

Urgent Action Item: Comment on this Dow petition

The U.S. government claims to be accepting public comments on this petition request. We have no way of knowing whether all such comments are merely chucked into the "round file" or whether they are actually considered, but if you want to submit comments about this petition, YOU CAN'T do it online anyway!

The government's online comment submit system doesn't recognize this document -- at least it didn't at the time this story went to press. Try the following link yourself to see if it works:
http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2010-0103-0001

So your only remaining option is to submit comments by mail:
• Postal Mail/Commercial Delivery: Send your comment to Docket No. APHIS-2010-0103, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238.

From the Federal Register website:
Supporting documents and any comments we receive on this docket may be viewed at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=APHIS-2010-0103 or in our reading room, which is located in room 1141 of the USDA South Building, 14th Street and Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC. Normal reading room hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. To be sure someone is there to help you, please call (202) 690-2817 before coming.

Share this NaturalNews story! Let people know that America's corn fields are about to be treated with the same chemical weapons our nation once dropped on Vietnam.

Additional reference:
Agent Orange was made from roughly a 50/50 mixture of:
• 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)
• 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T)

Documented side effects of Agent Orange include:
• Skin irritation and skin diseases, such as chloracne
• Neurological disorders
• Nerve disorders, including peripheral neuropathy
• Miscarriages in women
• Type 2 diabetes
• Birth defects, physical deformities, spina bifida
• Cancers: multiple myeloma, respiratory system cancers, Hodgkin's disease, prostate cancer, leukemia
