   MISCARRIAGES INCREASING IN WESTERN, DEVELOPED NATIONS

   The percentage of miscarriages in a number of European and developed nations, have now reached nearly 20. This concerns any given woman’s first child. For an eventual second child the changes of miscarriage is increased to 25 percent.
   The really worrying aspect of this, is that the increase is happening in developed countries, with thorough health care systems and a population seen as generally healthy.
   But this view, as recent research is showing, could be false. A number of developments lately, are more than suggesting that both mentally and physically, people in developed nations, are not much better off than the rest of the world. In some cases worse off. This in spite of hunger, poverty and strife in Africa, Asia and South America. The emerging picture is that the more technological advanced a given place may be, the more ill and frail are the inhabitants. Massive use, and increase in the use, of medicine the last 50 years has hidden this fact until recently, where drugs have been shown to lose their potency as «wonder medicine» and indeed been revealed to cause a substantial amount of the problems.

   MODERN FOOD PRODUCTION DANGEROUS?

   You might think pollution is the biggest threat to our health? You may be right. But an increasing number of other factors, are competing about the runner up position.
   Modern tomatoes are usually grown in a mineral rich solution, where the 20 minerals seen as most important to the health, are present. As is the method of much grown food today.
   This has been the claim of the industry at this point, anyway.
   According to a growing number of researchers, however, this truth may, at best, be a very ambiguous one.
   - Even if their claim is the truth, we may be in serious trouble in the long run. The number of twenty or the equivalent in other growths, are shown increasingly to evidently be quite a random decision and nothing to be bragging about. Tests have shown that tomatoes grown in «completely natural soil», have a mineral count of several hundred. And even if there was a possibly good reason (at the time), to assume that the 20, being used at present, in the mineral solution, are among the most important, there is simply no way we can be certain of this. There’s no way we can recreate the factor or number of factors, present in nature, in a laboratory. What we can say at this point, is that lack of essential trace minerals in modern diets, is causing an ever growing number of deficiency diseases throughout the world, especially where consummation of artificial food products is most prevalent.
   - And there’s no relief in sight. The new, incoming ways of producing food, like «Genetic Modification», are quite evidently another step in the wrong direction. Ironically laboratory tests, do show that the more removed from nature, life is, the more unhealthy it becomes. Most tests are done in labs controlled by multinational corporations, though, and are only being made available to the public by «disgruntled, former employees», particularly on the Internet. Public research is also, increasingly so, funded by corporations or corporation controlled institutions.
   The interview is ending with a heartfelt statement.
   - It doesn’t look good. Not good at all!

   CURRENT IMPRESSIONS FROM PLANET EARTH (V)

   In a an interview survey on subjects randomly selected from around the world, concerning the changes in climate and the environment in general, physician Peter Franklin currently residing in Sidney, Australia, has this to say:
   There is nothing to it, you know. There has always been bad weather, people have always been sick. Nothing new under the sun. The entire «environmental» scare, is basically a hysteria created and maintained by scientists seeking bigger grants and leftists on a permanent quest to dominate the world. We should stop giving them money and attention, and I can assure you that they would shut up soon enough.
   People need jobs, you know, and food. And to have jobs and feed the world, we need factories, we need energy and more than anything we need an increase in food production. Cheap energy, cheap food and easy access to new technologies. Any more of these prolonged attempts to stop progress and we may all eventually have to face the serious consequences of such stupidity. End of story!
