Viruses and the GM Insect "Flying Vaccine" Solution for Malaysia
Update followup report 9 Sept 2012
GM insect company Oxitec today published results of its trials of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes in the Cayman Islands in 2010 (1). The results were originally submitted to the journal Science in January 2011 but have now finally been published in Nature Biotechnology (1). The paper shows that Oxitec has no clear baseline for claims made in the press that it achieved an 80% reduction in the target population of mosquitoes, and that to achieve the claimed effect it significantly increased the number of adult GM mosquitoes it expected to release and also released additional GM pupae at locations spaced at 70 to 90m apart across the release site

Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes Released Into The Wild
Australian research scientists have developed a strategy for fighting Dengue fever, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that affects more than 50 million people annually and causes fever and crippling joint and muscle pain—and in some cases even death.
Dengue kills FAR more people worldwide than influenza, yet it is rarely even mentioned by Western media.
A bacterium named Wolbachiapipientis naturally infects many insect species and has the ability to interfere with its host’s reproductive ability in such a way that entire populations become infected within just a few generationsi. When Wolbachia infects mosquitoes, the mosquitoes’ ability to transmit Dengue virus is almost completely blocked.

GM mosquitoes: 'Cayman Islands unreliable model'
By G Vinod
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian public are in the best position to decide if the soon-to-be-released genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes is the most effective method to combat the dengue menace.
GeneWatch United Kingdom (UK), a non-profit group that monitors genetic engineering issues worldwide, however, said adequate information must be provided by Oxitec Limited, the producers of the GM mosquitoes.
Its director, Helen Wallace, said that Oxitec cannot use the Cayman Islands' project in 2007, which it touted as a success, as a model for the latest experiment. This is because the island did not have biosafety regulations in place to evaluate the effectiveness of the GM mosquitoes.
“The Cayman Islands is not even a member of the Aarhus Convention or Biosafety Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity which would require it to consult the public and produce an environmental risk assessment before releasing GM mosquitoes into the environment.
“Cayman Islands appears to have been used by Oxitec to bypass the regulatory requirements that apply in the US or the European Union (EU),” she said.
The Malaysian government is keenly promoting the GM mosquito project using the Cayman Islands as the model to justify the proposed release in stages of the GM mosquitioes into several parts of the country, saying that the Cayman project had managed to reduce the Aedes population by 80%.
Wallace, however, dismissed the figures, saying that there has been no documented proof to substantiate the claims by Oxitec.
“The company now says it is producing an environmental impact assessment following the Cayman Islands project, but nothing has been made public. It still has not addressed concerns over the impact of the long-term release of GM mosquitoes,” she said.
Company making losses
Oxitec, which had been running at a loss since 2008, had thus far been evading scrutiny by the Malaysian public, said Wallace.

Fragments of foreign DNA and other substances from vaccinations found in sick, disabled and dying children
by Christina England
September 5, 2012
This week an important paper by Leslie Carol Botha hit the Internet by storm.
This revolutionary paper titled Unveiling the Culprit - Is Foreign DNA Contamination the Autistic Villain behind Biologic Vaccine Injuries, is one of the first papers to discuss various foreign DNA fragments being discovered in sick, disabled and dying children after they have received various childhood vaccinations.
Over the past six years, Ms Botha has been heavily involved and dedicated to using her print and broadcast experience to share information with the public about the potential dangers of the HPV vaccines.
She is a member of TruthAboutGardasil and is one of six women who, in March 2010, presented research and data to the FDA on the alarming statistics of Gardasil and Cervarix deaths, injuries and harm in comparison to other vaccines.
She was also a founding member and the former Vice President of Public Relations for S.A.N.E. Vax, Inc organization dedicated to educating the public about the safety and efficacy of vaccinations. In March of 2010, Botha was an invited speaker at the British Society for Ecological Medicine Conference in London where she presented science-based information and research on the dangers of the HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix.
Ms Botha is currently the Women's Health Freedom Coalition Coordinator for the Natural Solutions Foundation.
Botha claims that foreign DNA is a term of which most medical consumers are unaware. She believes that it is common sense for professionals to question the safety of foreign DNA – otherwise known as recombinant DNA, stating that:
"Even the American Biologic Safety Association (ABSA) has classified recombinant DNA a biohazard and has outlined specific directives on the handling of such contaminants".
Botha says that according to a supporting document written by the Coalition of Vaccine Safety, the presence of dormant and relict viral sequences in the human and other animal genomes has been known for at least 20 years. These include human retroviral sequences that have been identified in live viral vaccines grown in human cells.
She says the document reports that: (Read Full Report Here)

Children in danger from exposure to common chemicals, new studies confirm
(NaturalNews) Although the mainstream medical establishment and the FDA frequently warn against the supposed dangers of alternative health treatments and supplements, they hardly ever mention the perfectly legal and widely used chemical poisons that enter our bodies through the environment. What's more, the EPA has also done little to keep many health-endangering chemicals out of widely-used consumer products. Now, two new studies reveal countless children could be suffering breathing problems due to some of these common chemical threats.
A case in point: researchers from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) at the Mailman School of Public Health and Columbia University Medical Center have determined that youngsters exposed during the prenatal period to the widely used pesticide additive piperonyl butoxide (PBO) have an increased risk of developing a chronic cough at ages 5 and 6. Their study, just published in the online edition of the journal Environment International, provides evidence that a child's respiratory system is susceptible to damage from toxic exposures while still in the womb. While not due to an infection, a chronic childhood cough can seriously disrupt normal daytime activities and severely disturb sleep for both kids and their parents.
So what exactly is PBO? It's a compound that increases effects of pyrethroids which are found in the pesticides most commonly used by both professional pest controllers and consumers, according to a 2011 study by Mailman School researchers. Previous research showed exposure to one pyrethroid, a variation of permethrin, was especially linked with increased risk for cough by age five. The new study found that children exposed to PBO during pregnancy had an increased risk of coughing unrelated to cold or flu.

Sugar to survive
“The 1kg powder milk that cost about RM18 about 6 years ago now costs more than RM40,” said a 41-year-old self-employed living in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. “We are poor and we cannot afford to buy milk and have to just resort to sugar for our drinks,” he added.
