Milk: America’s Health Problem

jump to links

Why is American Milk Banned in Europe?

American dairy milk is genetically-modified unless it’s labeled “NO rBGH”
Genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in milk increases cancer risks.
American dairy farmers inject rBGH to dairy cows to increase milk production.

European nations and Canada have banned rBGH to protect citizens from IGF-1 hazards.

Monsanto Co., the manufacturer of rBGH, has influenced U. S. product safety laws permitting the sale of unlabeled rBGH milk. (Monsanto would lose billions of dollars if rBGH were banned in America.)

Q. Is there any milk not contaminated with rBGH and IGF-1?
A. Yes. Milk that is clearly labeled “NO rBGH” is free of rBGH and does not contain excess levels of IGF-1.

Q. What about cheeses?
A. American-made cheeses are contaminated with rBGH and excess levels of IGF-1 unless they’re labeled “NO rBGH”. Imported European cheeses are safe since Europe has banned rBGH.

i cannot get things done and my head seems like someone poured mollases in my head. in fact, it reminds me of the vague residue that pot gave me back in the hippy dippy days of the early seventies. i think a very small dose might help but the shrink wants to keep bumping it up. am at 150 now and i felt okay at 50, actually 25, but a little groggy all the time now. other ways to control bi-polar people like me. go on wild purchasing binges. can always think of something (e.g., software) that i cannot live without. confused. need my head clear to work or get fired and live in an alley or under an overpass. that scares me.

I am doing active sex since last 10 years. I tried with several girls and even before I could insert my penis, I get discharged. I have this problem even with my wife. I would say, i hardly got a chance to enjoy sex in my life and not really satisfied with the same. I would like to get real satisfaction out of it and would like to enjoy it properly. How can I delay it and keep my penis hard for long time. I don't want to try medicines or the sprays available in the market and excersise or meditation is also not my cup of tea. Please help, if there is any other way. Thanks in advance.

I had my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago, still a little bit of pain going on. But I was wondering if it would hurt anything to use my whitening strips on my teeth or if I should wait til my gums heal completely?

I believe I have Strep Throat, but do not have the resources to see a doctor and get a prescription. What will happen if I just let it "run its course"?

I am not sure I have GAD or not.

I have been having chronic insomnia for more than 10 years now. I couldn't turn off my brain at night. Even if i manage to fall to sleep, i would only sleep 6 to 7 hours at most and i feel dead tired in the morning. (I generally need 9 hours of solid sleep each night in order to function properly the next day.) BUT, if i go to bed (at or near bed time) just to lie down and rest (eg, before taking bath) without the intention of actually sleeping, i would fall to sleep pretty fast. [Strange, I don't know why.]

I've been having this problem since 10 years ago, at which time i started to have the following feelings: (i) hopelessness, (ii) loneliness, (iii) anxiety, (iv) lack of energy, desire, etc

I am taking Remeron now, and, as a result, don't have any sleeping problem. But, obviously I don't want to take it forever.

My questions are:
(a) What's my problems? and
(b) is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy the [better] answer to my problem?

Has anyone ever hallucinated? Either induced or uninduced? What caused it and what did you see/hear/feel?

LOL I'll tell you what prompted the question: My brother recently took some tablets for his sciatica in his back, but started hallucinating as a side effect. He says a giant cranberry carton chased him down the road! I couldn't stop laughing but he maintains it was terrifying. Also when my mam went into labour with him she says that the stuff they gave her made her see moths flying about the ceiling. Has anyone had a similar experience?
