"Frogs in the Balance [Editorials]." Washington Times, 4 May 99,
A18.
The WT comments on the recent Science Magazine studies
attributing deformed frogs to parasitic infections, rather
than "the usual suspects in cases like this: global warming,
pesticides, ozone depletion, the Reagan tax cuts." The
Times describes the process of how the trematode parasites
cause limb deformities in frogs, and concludes with comments
on how the alarm over the deformed frogs probably
unecessarily "diverted scarce tax dollars from more pressing
problems to handling out bottled water and aggravated an
anti-technology bias in some quarters of this country that
ignores its past benefits as well as those yet to come."
==After reading what I have sent today about Dioxins
This seems to be a bit hard to believe.==
BIOTECHNOLOGY
"Experimental Vaccine Cuts Ear Infections In Young Children."
Wall Street Journal, 4 May 99, A4.
Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center
will present findings from their three-year study of a
vaccine that attacks the bacteria active in childhood ear
infections, streptococcus pneumoniae, at the Pediatric
Academic Societies meeting in San Francisco today. The
'"breakthrough"', controlled study of more than 38,000
children showed that the vaccine is not only significant in
reducing bouts of ear infections in children but also helps
battle antibiotic resistance, a problem often encountered
with this particular bacterium. The vaccine, which is being
developed by the Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories unit of American
Home Products Corp., will be submitted for FDA approval.
== Do we mention the fact that
Monsanto tried to buy American Home Products
and IF American Home Products realize the
possibility that Monsanto's bovine growth
hormone in milk (which requires the escalated
use of antibiotics) could be helping ear
infections to happen?==
"Arthritis-Drug Ads Won't Name Product." Wall Street Journal, 4
May 99, B13.
Without mentioning the drug's name, a television ad campaign
will begin tomorrow on CBS for the new arthritis drug
Celebrex, marketed by Monsanto's G.D. Searle pharmaceuticals
unit. By not mentioning the products' specific name, as is
becoming the trend in new drug advertisements, advertisers
avoid having to mention the drug's side effects, which, in
the case of Celebrex, include "potentially fatal bleeding
ulcers". Until a Celebrex-specific advertisement is
released later this year, viewers will be be given an 800
number to call for information.
== does anyone want to think about the fact that
one of the symptoms of aspartame poisoning is
arthritis? and that Monsanto makes a significant
amount of aspartame, held the patent till the time
expired recently.
Now this company wants to control the water supply?==
==this articles that I have done
comments on are from the EPA??? Just
trying to give views from the other side.==

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
