<div class="MsoNormal">
If I could share my heart with you it would show you that I
want the best for you always the best even if I may not know how to relay that
message in a language you can hear or overstand. My heart would show that I would give you my
last and everything in between. If I could share my heart with you, you would
see I like to tell the stories of my adventures over and over again because I
thought I was the stuff…LOL but you probably already know that. But more than anything my heart would show
you that I do not think my ways are better or the only way. My heart would tell
you that even though we have many years between us I still dream, feel good at times,
and consider myself very sensual even sexy! (Big smile). My heart wants you to
know that I missed many opportunities in my life because I wasn’t listening to
the elders that only had my best interest at heart because I could not hear
their message because I was concentrating on how, instead what they were
actually saying. They were my protective
spirits. My heart would let you know I
love your creative spirits and I applaud the rebel in you. My heart would help you to overstand how
important it is to use your mind, and to think critically in all your endeavors.
If I could share my heart with you it would show you how to respect the elders,
and ancestors because they are actually you. My heart would tell you that it is
urgent that you know yourself always. Finally, if you remember anything my
heart would want you to know is that I love you so much now and forever.<o:p></o:p></div>

It can affect various organs in the body.<br />
<br />
Normally, your immune system defends your body against foreign or harmful substances. For example, it sends special cells to<br />
protect organs that are in danger.<br />
These cells release chemicals that recruit other cells to isolate and destroy the harmful substance. Inflammation occurs during<br />
this process. Once the harmful substance is destroyed, the cells and the<br />
inflammation go away.<br />
In people who have sarcoidosis, the inflammation doesn't go away. Instead, some of the immune system cells cluster to form lumps<br />
called granulomas (gran-yu-LO-mas) in various organs in your body. <br />
<h2>Overview</h2>Sarcoidosis can affect any organ in your body. However, it's more likely to occur in some organs than in others. The disease<br />
usually starts in the lungs, skin, and/or lymph nodes (especially the lymph<br />
nodes in your chest).<br />
The disease also often affects the eyes and the liver. Although less common, sarcoidosis can affect the heart and brain,<br />
leading to serious complications.<br />
If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms vary<br />
depending on which organs are affected. Many people who have sarcoidosis have<br />
no symptoms or mild symptoms. <br />
Lofgren's syndrome is a classic set of signs and symptoms that is typical in some people who have sarcoidosis. Lofgren's<br />
syndrome may cause fever, enlarged lymph nodes, arthritis (usually in the<br />
ankles), and/or erythema nodosum (er-i-THE-ma no-DO-sum). <br />
Erythema nodosum is a rash of red or reddish-purple bumps on your ankles and shins. The rash may be warm and tender to the<br />
touch.<br />
Treatment for sarcoidosis also varies depending on which organs are affected. Your doctor may prescribe topical treatments and/or<br />
medicines to treat the disease. Not everyone who has sarcoidosis needs<br />
treatment.<br />
<h2>Outlook </h2>The outcome of sarcoidosis varies. Many people recover from the disease with few or no long-term problems.<br />
More than half of the people who have sarcoidosis have remission within 3 years of diagnosis. "Remission" means the disease isn't<br />
active, but it can return.<br />
Two-thirds of people who have the disease have remission within 10 years of diagnosis. People who have Lofgren's syndrome<br />
usually have remission. Relapse (return of the disease) 1 or more years after<br />
remission occurs in less than 5 percent of patients.<br />
Sarcoidosis leads to organ damage in about one-third of the people diagnosed with the disease. Damage may occur over many years and<br />
involve more than one organ. Rarely, sarcoidosis can be fatal. Death usually is<br />
the result of complications with the lungs, heart, or brain.<br />
Poor outcomes are more likely in people who have advanced disease and show little improvement from treatment.<br />
Certain people are at higher risk for poor outcomes from chronic (long-term) sarcoidosis. This includes people who have lung<br />
scarring, heart or brain complications, or lupus pernio (LU-pus PAR-ne-o).<br />
Lupus pernio is a serious skin condition that sarcoidosis may cause.<br />
Research is ongoing for new and better treatments for sarcoidosis.<br />

<br />
<h1>What Causes Sarcoidosis?</h1>The cause of sarcoidosis isn't known. More than one factor may play a role in causing the disease.<br />
Some researchers think that sarcoidosis develops when your immune system responds to a trigger, such as bacteria, viruses, dust,<br />
or chemicals.<br />
Normally, your immune system defends your body against foreign or harmful substances. For example, it sends special cells to<br />
protect organs that are in danger.<br />
These cells release chemicals that recruit other cells to isolate and destroy the harmful substance. Inflammation occurs during<br />
this process. Once the harmful substance is destroyed, the cells and the<br />
inflammation go away.<br />
In people who have sarcoidosis, the inflammation doesn't go away. Instead, some of the immune system cells cluster to form lumps<br />
called granulomas in various organs in your body.<br />
Genetics also may play a role in sarcoidosis. Researchers believe that sarcoidosis occurs if:<br />
<ul><li>You have a certain gene (or certain genes) that raise your risk for the disease</li>
<li align="CENTER" class="nobullet" style="text-align: center;">—And—</li>
<li>You're exposed to something that triggers your immune system </li>
</ul>Triggers may vary depending on your genetic makeup. Certain genes may influence which organs are affected and how severe your<br />
symptoms are.<br />
Researchers continue to try to pinpoint the genes that are linked to sarcoidosis.<br />

This blog is about genetically altered foods, and the damage it is causing human beings. This is an introduction to the dangerous, life threatening residual health effects it has on people. Keep in mind this is just an introduction about this issue. I urge you to do your own research and then share this information with as many people in your networks around the world that you can touch...or talk to. (Start at home in your own communities) But please do not take anyone’s say so about this or any issue as the word. I cannot stress the importance of doing your own research to see for yourself how these issues affect your everyday lives. How do start this research you may ask? Start with this post, I have listed many of the agencies and organizations you may want to start with follow up on the information given in the videos most of them are YouTube so you can research on there as well, go to your agricultural agency in your community and ask questions but do not stop there. You can also go the library and bookstores and inquire about this topic. Look for blogs on the topics too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have anything to add to this post please do share your information, ideas, and thoughts.</div>

<b>1. WHAT ARE GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM)/GENETICALLY ENGINEERED (GE) FOODS?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are one of the most dangerous and radical changes to our food supply. These largely unregulated ingredients found in 60-70% of the foods in the US, are well worth the effort to avoid them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
2. HOW GM OR GE FOODS HURT US</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1999 According to Dr. Arpad Pusztai, the world’s top GMO safety researcher at the prestigious Rowett Institute in Scotland, when fed supposedly harmless Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) to rats, they developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, smaller brains, livers and testicles, partially atrophied livers, and showed signs of a damaged immune system. Moreover, the results clearly indicated that the cause of the problem was due to the unpredictable side effects arising from the process of genetic engineering itself. In other words, his study suggested that the GM foods already on the market, which were created from the same process, might also create such effects</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS GM/GE FOOD MARKET?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Merchants, Big Corporations like Monsanto and other like Corporations, Organizations, Government…….</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
4. WHO ARE THE FOOD AND DRUG/HEALTH REGULATING AGENCIES?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.fda.gov/" target="_blank"><b>FDA: Food and Drug Administration</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome" target="_blank">USDA: United States Department of Agriculture</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome" target="_blank">WHO: World Health Organization</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.wto.org/" target="_blank">WTO: World Trade Organization</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.eatright.org/" target="_blank">ADA: American Dietetic Association</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius/en/">CAC: Codex Alimentarius Commission</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.fao.org/" target="_blank">FAO: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.epa.gov/" target="_blank">EPA: Environmental Protection Agency</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. WHAT ROLE DO THESE AGENCIES PLAY IN SUPPORTING THESE GE/GM FOODS?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you will do the research on these agencies and MONSANTO (the corporation) you will see a revolving door amongst the officials of these agencies. You will then begin to overstand why, the reports and research that has supposedly been done on the foods to keep us healthy and safe from harm; are designed to be deceptive to the public. The reports are also done in favor of the MONSANTO so that this corporation and all its players get richer, while the rest of the world dies quicker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6. WHY YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You and family’s lives are in danger. The food that you eat everyday without regard to where it came from and whether or not it is safe…..is literally killing you, your families and your communities. There are people out there making life and death decisions for you around you and about you without your input. You are responsible for your own safety. Get the idea out of your heads that the government is supposed to regulate and protect you. Remember Katrina, Remember 9/11. There’s No Such Thing as a Superman…. And Disneyland/Disney World is just a theme park. Not reality. WAKE UP FAMILY.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7. WHAT ACTION STEPS CAN YOU TAKE?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are some action steps you can take but action is not limited to these and if you can think of any more please list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• You can first of all do the research on this issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Join Agricultural Groups that do not want GM or GE foods</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Avoid using GM or GE foods and products</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Avoid buying and eating GM or GE products</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Ask your local grocery store to provide a section of foods that are not GM or GE foods.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Be a watchdog on the above listed agencies and MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD AS A COLLECTIVE AND AS AN INDIVIDUAL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Write to letters showing you don’t want GM or GE foods</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Refuse to buy GE or GM foods</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Start a seed bank and share with other like minded individuals</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Educate someone else who is not as computer literate as you are</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Take this to your community meetings</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Save your seeds from foods that you know are not GM or GE foods</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Plant a garden or learn how to</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Grow something organically</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Teach others how to grow food</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Be diligent about protecting your family. Do not look for others to do this for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8. Who Are the Forces You Need To Collaborate With?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agencies and groups that are already fighting these issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9. Does Collaborating Mean You Need To Be A Hot Sauce Integrationist?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay what does this mean? It means just because we have to join forces for the moment with people who in most cases have been our rivals, does not mean we have to compromise who we are or our culture. It does not call for can’t we all get along, we are all one people or selling out this is serious work and we have to overstand who we are and what we are fighting for. Make no mistake about this people, WE ARE AT WAR……..So right now this is a numbers game. There is strength in numbers. Let’s work it for what it is worth.</div>
