Interview with Constance Cumbey, Tuesday, Dec 23, 4pm Alaska Time

Showtime: 8pm Eastern, 4pm Alaska Time!

Constance Cumbey has just found the ACL and invited me to join her show on Tuesday, live at http://www.themicroeffect.com/. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Constance, she's a Michigan attorney who's been studying the communitarians for 26 years. I've linked to her work from the ACL and she's under people I like here. I learned a lot about the European players from her blog. http://cumbey.blogspot.com/2006_03_26_archive.html

This should prove to be very interesting because I'm sure I won't be asked many of the normal questions people ask when they have never heard of communitarianism before. I'm starting to like doing these radio shows too, every host has their own style and way of approaching their audience. I'm covering the extreme variety this month. Jim over at FreedomFighter was a get in your face modern shock jock (posted the link to the mp3 on the right) and Constance is a practicing attorney, a published author and a religious scholar.

More radio coming. I'm going to have to make a plan to join Darren and Nancy at Govern America on a Saturday morning at 4am my time. I am occassionally up at that time but not necessarily awake enough to talk. Heard they're planning on doing a whole show on gangstalking, which is another one of those weird things that are happening to people around the world.

It actually started happening to us this last year (and maybe longer), and knowing what we learned from the gangstalking site we were able to deal with it right up front and call b.s. on the creep who was doing it. Not that he stopped being a stalker or gathering information on everyone out here, but he never took our power with his constant unwarranted and unwanted attentions. He's a freak, but it's creepiest when it's the real cops doing the stalking, like when convicted felon Rachael Miller worked with the Anchorage Domestic violence Unit to stalk and harass me when I was Mike's 3rd Party custodian. (Used to have this whole nutcase article at the ACL, don't know where it went.) When Vice President Cheney said the government needs to work with unsavory characters in 2002, he didn't just mean in some vague undercover foreign terrorist infiltrations. Gangstalking is a modus operandi of local law enforcement too. It's a community justice program.

This is your president speaking

Chris Bieber sent me a link to his comments to a post about Bush's "admission" at http://johnseilerblogs.com/. I went there but got sidetracked and took the blogger's link to Washington's Farewell Address. One of the lines from Washington's address is our mission statement at the ACL (and Alexander Hamilton is said to have written most of it).

As I've come to expect, this blogger calls Bush's politics "socialism." (Communitarianism isn't even a topic on his list.) But, I've got several emails lately from people who have been calling it "neo-socialism" for lack of a better word to describe what they see. Now that they have been introduced to communitarianism, they can easily see that's what the new political system is actually called. And, they're grateful to see how much valid information there is about it for further study.

It still doesn't really matter so much to me if it's the Illuminati or the aliens from Atlantis who guide the elites. It's a personal choice of how I spend my time. While it's extremely interesting to read all the theories and speculate which ones hold more water, if our interest veers more toward current events and we want to know what's actually happening today, there's an abundance of verifiable, factual, current publications about communitarianism, written in every language, around the world. This doesn't mean there are not a lot of verifiable current UFO sightings and mysterious activities performed by secret societies as well as Satanic ritualists, covered in mainstream. MK Ultra and the psychological and drug experiments are all also verifiable. Chemtrails, whatever they are, are real. What I mean is, while many people refuse to even consider that there is an entire political/religious/legal synthesis they're never once considered, others, like me, are absolutely fascinated to find it exists and are astonished at how organized and well presented it is. That we can see how it ties to every issue is mind blowing, because we had never heard of it before. How can something so huge be so unknown to so many educated readers?


This is your president speaking, in 1796:

"Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing (with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them) conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard." Geo Washington http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washing.asp

This is your president speaking, in 2008:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was forced to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from "collapse."

""I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,"" Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision ""to make sure the economy doesn't collapse."

"At a G20 summit last month in Washington, Bush resisted some proposals for global financial regulation and argued free market principles still held true despite the global economic downturn. "http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/081216/usa/finance_economy_us_bush

We are in big trouble if Bush is the best debater we have at the global table arguing for free market principles! Come on. What is market-socialism, state-corporate capitalism and/or communitarianism? Would not the world be better off if all our leaders (and not just Klaus) were openly talking about what KIND of global system we're all volunteered into building?

Here's an interesting historical account of the laws forwarded to the ACL inox from Florida that shows how we were led into economic meltdown. This letter names the exact laws and executive orders at the root of the crisis. Verifying this would require a team of researchers, and again I find something that ties into what Todd wants to teach me. Maybe by Jan I can resume my core studies. http://home.absolute.net/xode/nwofraud/Bankruptcy_Fraud/Bankfraud2.htm

This is your 2009 vp president-elect speaking:

"According to US media, Obama's team is looking to craft a package worth between 675 and 775 billion dollars over two years, but it could swell to 850 billion as it moves through the legislative process. Some news reports have predicted it may even top a trillion dollars.

"The US economy has been the foremost concern of Americans for months, as it continues to nosedive despite a 700-billion-dollar Wall Street rescue plan agreed in October.

"Vice president-elect Joseph Biden Sunday would not be drawn on precise figures of a second stimulus package.

""What we're doing is putting together what we think will be the economic package that will do two things. One, stem the hemorrhaging of the loss of jobs, and begin to create new jobs," Biden told ABC's This Week.

""At the same time, we provide continuing liquidity for the financial markets."

"But he admitted that since the Democratic team's victory in the November 4 election, the economy has turned out to be in much worse shape than previously thought.

""Every economist that I've spoken to ... from well-known economists on the right, conservative economists, to economists on the left, and everyone in between, says the scope of this package has to be bold; it has to be big.

""There's going to be real significant investment, whether it's 600 billion dollars or more or 700 billion dollars. The clear notion is, it's a number no one thought about a year ago," Biden said." http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/081222/usa/us_politics_obama_economy_11

No one thought of, eh? If we were to translate Bush and Biden's double-speak above, what would it sound like? Anyody want to try? :)

In unrelated Gerteeville news:

Weather dropped considerably, having to cut wood loads twice a day now and if I want it warm I have to get up and feed the fire every 2-3 hours. I did that for a few days and then last night I said to hell with it and slept almost 11 hours straight. Ron said he thinks that's why Alaskans get cabin fever, mostly from sleep deprivation from keeping the fire going all winter. It was 30 below outside and 4 degrees above inside when I woke up but I slept with my hat on (I'm "mama in her kerchief" in Twas the Night Before Christmas!) and put my 10 dollar beaver coat over my sleeping bag. I love this coat and it helps me get up. Then I remember I can also just slide into my soft fuzzy warm booties and be warm while I start the fire. I have a nice comfy little stool right next to the wood stove (where everyone who comes in cold always sits). The water in the jug wasn't frozen so I could fill my teapot and start heating water for instant coffee (or my press) right away. It's hard to roll cigs when it's 4 degrees so I'm not smoking first thing every morning anymore. Heh. Took my coat off and was ale to use electronics after about an hour.

The other morning I woke wide awake at 4 am. It was still 40 above in here and I was surprised that woke me. I wanted to fall back asleep but I couldn't, so I made a pot of coffee, went out and sawed a huge load of wood and made myself a roaring fire. I had pancakes cooking and was cleaning up when suddenly I heard the worst screeching noise and crunching snow soon after a loud truck had passed by. I listened, heard nothing else and I went back to what I was doing. About 20 minutes later the dogs started barking and I heard clomping and snow crunching coming toward my doorway. I covered the damn window when I insulated the door so I couldn't look out. I kept yelling "who's out there?" and all I got back was a banging on the door. I was like, holy crap man, WHAT is out there??? and got my gun. Turned out to be a neighbor kid who rolled his truck about 1/2 mile away from me, saw my smoke and stumbled all the way here with only one shoe on (lost the other one in the wreck). He had no hat and no gloves and was near froze to death, but it just so happened I had a big pile of wood and a roaring fire and a hot cup of coffee for him to put his hands around. His timing was so perfect I told him I think the Lord didn't want his momma to have to deal with him dying just yet. I don't know him. He said he's lived here all his life and was hoping he wouldn't get shot coming up to my door. His throat was froze shut.

Marco decided it's too cold for him outside and yeah, okay, the dogs can start sleeping inside. There's room.

Gertee gets more insulation

I did two hours on freedomfighter radio. They were fun. I sure get to meet all kinds of people doing ACL work. I like seeing how other people react, and what kinds of comittments they make to defending individual freedom. It was too cool when Lark called in, and I think it went well.

As for winter gertee expedition.... lots happening there.

Insulating the floor after moving all the furnishings inside is not recommended. In my case, it was absolutely necessary, so I did it. I thought a few scattered rugs would be enough. I was wrong. Plywood and any wood particle board holds ZERO heat. My floor was staying below freezing and two blankets by the bed are frozen solid to the floor. I'm having to work around that. I also got into my "stash" of new materials and put them on the walls. Now my walls have numerous materials and layers: marine canvas, Radiant Guard, Army wool, painters cloths, baby blankets, interior tent plastic windows and cotton, wallpaper, unbleached muslin, pieces of my wall tent canvas duck, Eqyptian dyed fabric, jaquard wool fabric, and the latest layers of white felt and a maroon tapestry. Hopefully I can get it all down before the roof leaks start again. First winter I've ever hoped it stays below freezing for the next three months.

Kitchen floor insulation went down first,
I can walk in there with my socks on now!

I put Radiant Guard over the plywood floor and
covered it with pieces of the wool fabric
off discarded US Army ironing boards.
http:www.RadiantGUARD.com

Then I covered about 45 wall feet of living/bed room floor
the same exact way

As ususal, I do everything backwards, and I swear I don't plan it that way. Part of my problem is not having the right materials when I'm in the process of building. So in a way this is still good research for adapting to certain challenges that arise when you build a homemade yurt with angst for a budget. There are a lot of people who may have to build these out of whatever's available, so it could end up being useful information to sombody. The coolest thing I'm learning is no mistake is too huge, everything can be fixed or it can wait until you can fix it. I wish everything in my life were as simple as this. As long as I "let go" and just accept whatever happens in here, I seem to be able to come up with a way to deal with it. (Of course that's not what I did in the big windstorm when i held on to the post and screamed all night long.)

While this is no longer a completely recycled gertee I do have to wait and carefully plan to purchase my new items. I spend a lot of time looking for the best deals. I also get free and cheap things I'm not always sure how I'll use, like when I got Ron's old big plastic pool he was getting rid of. At first I thought it would make a good roof but it was so heavy I think I need it on the floor next time I rebuild. The heat escapes through the roof but the cold comes in from the floor.

The Anti-Communitarian Manifesto hardcopy update

Nordica picked up the proof and says it looks good enough to print! They'll be going out either Friday or Monday. We both still think we need a better introduction, it was hard to write it after so many years since we wrote the online manifesto. I continue to find and read excerpts and essays published online about Hegel and want to address their arguments. Seems like there's more and more available and I wanted to use the intro to describe the dialectic in philosophical terms as well as for average readers. Which I think is appropriate, whereas Nordica wants it to be simple, like 2020. Maybe next printed version will have 2 intros, one from her and one from me. She's the best business partner I've ever had but that doesn't mean we share the same creative expression. She is an srtist first, drawing and graphics are her passion and she sees things so differently than me, a non-fiction writer who loved Facts on File. I'm hoping someday she'll be inspired to do a comic strip of our little "league", she can draw the cutest little people and you know exactly who they are. She's done some of me that are just funny looking and the nugget people are my most favorites. One time she drew me as this little tiny nugget lady and the community cop was this big huge nugget with a gigantic mouth sneering down at me.

Plus this whole health aspect that she's into is rubbing off on her old ma. I've learned a lot about natural remedies and how good you feel when you eat good food. This is a direction that would be worth pursuing as one alternative to continuing writing about Etzioni and the global government. Since the comms are moving into their solution based mentality then I'm wondering if it isn't time for us to do the same. I know there are things out there that have been taken from us and things that have been planted that are poisoning us and killing us, and like everything else connected to the "plan," it's been going on for a long time. I used to tell Nordica if I've been eating and drinking poison my whole life then it's too late for me, and wouldn't it be better if we give her the expensive food since she has hope, and leave me in peace to smoke my cigarettes and drink my coffee and occassionally eat toast. But with the amount of fresh food and pure juice in our home the past year (because she's breastfeeding) I ate so good that now I'm actually mixing my Tops tobacco with Catherine's Summerwind Tea, a mixture of mint, chamomile, spruce tips, fireweed, rosehips, yarrow, clover, wormwood, coltsfoot, raspberry leaves, organic orange peel. It's been sitting here for months since I never drink anything but coffee, and then tonight Nordica suggested I try smoking it. It's a lovely blend, it actually soothes my throat. My tobacco will last a long time doing this, and maybe so will I. :)

Ode to Jack the Sucker and the River Etzioni

Is hating our enemies a crime enforced by our enemies?

I've never kept it a secret that I "hate" what Amitai Etzioni has done to my country. I've written numerous sarcastic editorials about him and his phony baloney ideology. I've openly challenged his lies. His socio-economic theory and his metaphysical claim to being more moral than my countrymen makes me want to puke. I absolutely hate it that this Mossad creep's opinions hold such sway over whoever's in my White House. I often refer to his lies and promises with bitterness and HATE for him and everything he represents. Now it looks like I need to make a YouTube video about how much I hate Etzioni, his communitarian laws, and the useful American idiots who implement them behind Americans' backs. Does it matter that Etzioni is a Jew? Only to the ADL.

(5) YouTube Taps ADL as Partner in Fight Against Hate

Posted 11 December 2008 @ 03:03 pm EST

http://www.ibtimes.com/prnews/20081211/youtube-adl-safety.htm

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- YouTube has reached out to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for its expertise in dealing with hate on the Internet. In one outgrowth of that partnership, the League is now a contributor to YouTube's newly launched Abuse & Safety Center, where users are empowered to identify and confront hate, and to report abuses.

The YouTube Abuse & Safety Center features information and links to resources developed by ADL to help Internet users respond to and report offensive material and extremist content that violates YouTube's Community Guidelines on hate speech.

"YouTube is an incredible tool for sharing videos and giving individuals an opportunity to broadcast themselves, but like other social networking sites it can be abused or used for sinister and dangerous purposes," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "There are those who may try to exploit the technology to spread racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of hate."

"We commend YouTube for their efforts to provide users with access to important information from those with expertise, such as ADL and others, on how to effectively respond to hate on the Internet and to report abuses," said Mr. Foxman. "Obviously, the industry has a vested interest in providing a safe online experience for the community of users, but they cannot go it alone. Maintaining a prejudice-free zone on the Internet means constant vigilance on the part of everyone. Parents, educators, industry, government and nonprofit watchdogs must work together. The bigots can only be sidelined if people of good will are actively reporting abuses, so that the Internet service providers can take action."

Since the advent of the Internet, ADL has played a leading role in working to combat hate on the Internet through education and advocacy. The League monitors extremism and hate on the Internet and works with major service providers, including Google, to identify and respond to offensive content. Last year, the League launched a major initiative to counteract cyberbullying by providing access to educational resources and information to parents, teachers, students and caregivers. ADL also serves as the U.S. representative to the International Network Against Cyber-Hate (INACH). More information is available on the League's web site at www.adl.org/Internet.

The YouTube Abuse & Safety Center was unveiled on December 11 at the annual conference of the Family Online Safety Institute in Washington D.C. and can be found at http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py?contact_type=abuse. A link to the Center is also available at the bottom of every YouTube page.

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

SOURCE Anti-Defamation League

Stormfront, the biggest Aryan racist organization online once called me an "obvious" Jewish shill. While it makes me happy to know the KKK types don't like me, I also think they are a contrived dialectical "problem" necessary to justifying an ADL "solution." I pretty much hate them too. I definitely hate everything they represent, and I really hated their representative in Seattle, the convicted arms dealer and notorious neighborhood bully who justified the Dawson COPS' raid, Herr Keith Gilbert.

I can't forget Zionism is an extremist racist political ideology cloaked behind the Holocaust religion. I do believe a lot of innocent Jews died in WWII, but I don't believe in the Holocaust as a sacred, holy, untouchable, beyond questionable historical event. To me that's ridiculous. I also believe a lot of other nationalities and religious people died in WWII too. I'm sure the Japanese consider nuking cities something very much worth remembering, but they're not forcing me to bow before their shrines or pray to their God. I know my grandfathers honored their dead comrades buried at Normandy. It was a WORLD war and people died in horrible ways, en masse, across the globe.

It's so horrible in Gaza now that even some leading Israelis are calling for an end to the Palestinian "holocaust," (but I only know that because I get Myers' email forwards). It's amazing that we are only "allowed" to hear the Bush/Obama Israeli's side of the Middle Eastern wars, wars they started with my countrymen's tax dollars, wars being fought by my country's sons (including my own... my 18 year old boy is a Marine now). The whole "free" Western world is fighting for the Zionist cause, shouldn't we know more about it? Hell no. The last thing we need is a bunch of taxpayers thinking they can comprehend an ancient dialectical conflict ideology.

I'd still like to find out more about the "missing" 5 million Germans. I'm still trying to understand why the Americans handed Berlin's women and children over to the Soviet rapists for ten whole days. And I'm still trying to understand why NOBODY in the mainstream OR alternative press will write ANYTHING about Herr Doktor Amitai Etzioni's connection to the founders of the Mossad or his Zionist influence on US domestic AND foreign policy. In 1948 Etzioni was assigned to bring in the Irgun troops who some say murdered Arab women and children in the town of Dier Yassin.

The Israelis didn't disband their "brownshirts," they brought them into the regular army. The REASON this matters to me is because the Israelis are training American military AND domestic COPS. The Israelis are training our local police to assassinate suspects in the U.S. The Israelis are training our local police to spy on our citizens and to create a database of all our most personal information. And since 2002 the US Supreme Court has been openly basing it's decisions on Talmudic Law.

Communitarianism is Zionism. This is why most people avoid writing about it. This is its connection to Christianity. It's a bizarre, convoluted philosophical, economic, political and legal, global religion. And obviously, its God requires untold numbers of human sacrifices (including the real Semitic Jews).

It's amazing how well the sides play out the deception. The stupid right wants you to think it's Soviet communism (which is only PART of the theory) and the equally stupid left wants you to think it's not worthy of a second glance. This is why nobody will explain EU case law to you or identify what KIND of law the International Court practices. We're never supposed to get the connection between the conflicting "sides." We're supposed to believe the International Court is above petty politics. We're supposed to believe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will protect people the same way the U.S. Bill of Rights did (before the communitarians "balanced it). And we're required to believe the Israelis actually hail from the Middle East.

To merely question the relationship between the Soviet Mongolian soldiers who raped Berlin in 1945 and the Soviet Jabotinsky units that "assisted" the Irgun units in Palestine in 1948, or the CIA-Mossad-Iran-Contra drug connection in Southeast Asia and South America is simply not allowed. The fact that American police regularly travel to Israel for specialized "terrorist" training or that AK Governor Sarah Palin sent the Alaska National Guard to train with the Mongolian Army was never questioned ONCE during the campaign. Why didn't Katie Couric ask her about that?

In 2007 I was made to change one of my law articles for News With Views because ADL watchdogs threatened the editor with a major backlash if Walter didn't make me delete the "offensive" passage. I complied, so they've already sucessfully bullied me into voluntary, self-censorship. Other than that they've left me alone, maybe because I don't have a racist bone in my body and the ACL website doesn't promote violence against random Jews (or anybody specifically, even Etzioni). Plus, too many Jewish students have found my research on Talmudic Law to be a useful resource. My obscurity is probably a consideration too.

Now I'm making a YouTube video of myself talking about communitarianism, as soon as my silk veils arrive from India. I ordered two off ebay as a joke and planned on using them to cover my missing teeth when I go out in public. I see it as a poor women's alternative to grossing everyone out and advertising my lack of expensive dental care. In ten years of dedicated, unpaid legal researching and writing about Etzioni and his communitarian comrades-in-arms, I lost many important, irreplaceable things, including my bottom front teeth. Should I wear the pink or the black?

A SHORT LIST OF TOXINS IN OUR FOOD and COSMETICS: For a more complete list, see:
http://www.purezing.com/toxins.pdf

Acesulfame K

Sugar substitute found in pudding, chewing gum, non-dairy creamers, instant coffee mixes, tea mixes and gelatin desserts. May increase cancer in humans.

Acetone

Also known as Dimethylketone, 2-Propanone, Beta-Ketopropane. Inhalation of moderate to high amounts, even for a short time results in entry of acetone into bloodstream where it is carried to all other

organs. Nose, throat, lung and eye irritant, headaches, confusion, increased pulse rate, effects on blood, nausea, vomiting and unconsciousness, coma. Shortens the menstrual cycle in women. Effects of long-term exposure include kidney, liver and nerve damage, increased birth defects, metabolic changes and coma. Found in nail polish remover.

Acetaldehyde

Found in many nail care products. Known to cause cancers in humans and experimental animals.

Alcohol

Implicated in oral cancer. Found in mouthwash, astringent, toothpaste, cleansers.

Aluminum

Central nervous system damage and linked to Alzheimers. Found in antiperspirant deodorants.

Aspartame

Genetically-modified, synthetic sugar substitute. People report dizziness, headaches and even seizures. Scientists believe it can alter behavior due to altered brain function. Long term effects of this genetically modified chemical on human health has not been studied or tested. Found as a sweetener in foods and some body products, such as shaving gel.

Benzene

Inhalation of high levels of benzene can cause headaches, rapid heart rate, tremors, confusion, unconsciousness and death. Hodgkin’s and Lymphomas result from inhalation. Used in detergents, drugs, pesticides and adhesives.

Benzoic Acid

Inhalation affects nervous system and is moderately toxic by ingestion. Severe eye and skin irritant. Used as a food preservative and in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics

Benzoic / Benzyl / Benzene

Contains carcinogens, endocrine disruptor, may cause birth defects. Found in shower gels, shampoos, bubble bath.

Fluoride

May contain lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. Accumulates in body and contributes to bone disease. Carcinogenic. Found in toothpastes.

Formaldehyde

Suspected carcinogen and neurotoxin, it may be fatal if swallowed, absorbed through skin, inhaled or swallowed. Can cause spasms, edema, chemical pneumonitis and is extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membrane, this chemical is found in many nail care products. Known to cause cancers in humans and experimental animals. Found in baby shampoo, bubble bath, deodorants, perfume, cologne, hair dye, mouthwash, toothpaste, hair spray, nail polish.

Fragrances (Synthetic)

Some perfumes / fragrances contain hundreds of chemicals. Some, such as methylene chloride are carcinogenic. Some cause brain damage or are neurotoxins. Avoid unless you can be sure they are not

carcinogenic.

GMO/Genetically Modified Organisms

Plants, animals or foods that have been genetically-modified, genetically engineered or BT/Biotechnology modified. Genetic engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occur naturally. Minimal testing shows that animals fed GMO feed refuse to eat it. When force-fed the feed (corn, soy, tomatoes etc.) the animals developed stomach lesions and malformations of organs. GMO food is not labeled as such in the U.S. Almost all other countries have banned the use of GMO in food and body products due to insufficient testing.

High Fructose Corn Syrup/HFCS

High fructose consumption has been fingered as a causative factor in heart disease. It raises blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. It makes blood cells more prone to clotting, and it may also accelerate the aging process.

Hydrogenated/Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Hydrogenated oils contain high levels of trans fats. A trans fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been radically changed by high heat. Trans fats are poison: just like arsenic. Partially hydrogenated oils will not only kill you in the long term by producing diseases like multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to arthritis, but in the meantime they will make you fat!

Isobutylparaben

Potential breast cancer risk. Itching, burning and blistering of skin. Found in body products.

Isoproponal/Isopropyl Alcohol

Moderately toxic chemical causing flushing, pulse rate decrease, blood pressure lowering, anesthesia, narcosis, headache, dizziness, mental depression, drowsiness, hallucinations, distorted perceptions, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting and coma. Used to clean/disinfect skin.

Methylparaben

Potential breast cancer risk and endocrine disruptor raising concern for impaired fertility or development of fetus, and increased risk for certain cancers, itching, burning and blistering of skin. A close cousin of benzoic acid: poisonous and moderately toxic, it is found in body products.

Mineral Oil

A derivative of petroleum, this additive clogs pores, locks in toxins, suffocates and dries skin and inhibits your skins natural oil production further increasing dehydration. Causes testicular tumors in the fetus, deposits accumulate in the lymph nodes and prevent absorption of vitamin A from the intestines. Found in blush, baby oil, lotions, foundation and creams.

Monosodium Glutamate/MSG

MSG is an excitotoxin, which causes nerve damage and allergic reactions. Found in hundreds of foods, often under other names.

Neotame

Neotame is a reformulated aspartame that will require smaller amounts than aspartame to achieve the same sweetness and the same toxicities. Neotame, like aspartame, contains aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and a methyl esther. Animal studies reveal aspartic acid and glutamic acid load on the same receptors in the brain, cause identical brain lesions and neuroendocrine disorders, and act in an additive fashion. People who are sensitive to processed free glutamic acid (MSG) experience similar reactions to aspartame, and people who are sensitive to aspartame experience similar reactions to MSG. People who currently react to MSG and/or aspartame should expect to react similarly to Neotame. Found in soft drinks, pharmaceuticals, processed foods of all kinds.

Nitrates – Nitrites

While nitrate itself is harmless; it is readily converted to nitrite. When nitrite combines with compounds called secondary amines, it forms nitrosamines: extremely powerful cancer-causing chemicals. The chemical reaction occurs most readily at the high temperatures of frying. Nitrite has long been suspected as being a cause of stomach cancer.

Nitrosamines
Extremely powerful, cancer-causing chemicals formed at high temperatures when the preservative nitrite combines with compounds called secondary amines.
