Ontario dairy farmer Michael
Schmidt has been found not guilty of a stream of charges relating to a
controversial raw-milk operation he runs.
In a judgment that ran nearly three hours, a Newmarket Justice of
the Peace said the cow-sharing operation Mr. Schmidt runs out of his
farm near Durham, Ont., does not violate the province's milk-marketing
or public-health regulations.
The judgment is the culmination of a three-year legal

Today, a hard won victory in the battle for food freedom and farmers rights was won. Michael Schmidt, a Canadian dairy farmer is now cleared on all 20 counts of "selling" raw dairy in violation of Canada Health regulations.
Dear Farming/Health Editors:
Today, a hard won victory in the battle for food freedom and farmers rights was won. Michael Schmidt, a Canadian dairy farmer is now cleared on all 20 counts of "selling" raw dairy in violation of Canada Health regulations. He is now free to continue operating his cow boarding program. I believe this signals health regulators in all of North America (this problem is happening here in the U.S. also) that their current campaign against raw dairy farms and their customers is without merit and an overstepping of their bounds and duties.

Chewing a hay lunch, Svetlana, Viola and Leah display a bored calm

This paper provides background information as to why these rights were not earlier included in the Charter. The paper also addresses what is meant by the term "property rights" and the question of how the courts might interpret the term "property" for purposes of the relevant provision if it were included in the Charter.

It is suing the Federal Reserve Board's governors for public records that would answer two simple questions: Who is receiving $2 trillion in Fed loans and what collateral are taxpayers getting to support them?

Justice is "the protection of rights and the punishment of wrongs".

The Emperor’s New Clothes: HOPE-TOO
Reputable American researchers claim that even large amounts of natural Vitamin E do not benefit established atherosclerosis. But their study do not reveal it. The participants got almost no Vitamin E. Perhaps somebody have heard about the praised American HOPE study from 2000. It was to reveal that natural Vitamin E would not make any difference for people with atherosclerosis. This was a disappointment, and with it the issue could then have been dismissed.
That is not how it went. The HOPE study, which lasted 4,5 years and included 9,000 participants was

Bush Wants Immunity from Wrongful Death or Wrongful Injury Lawsuits for Big Pharma

WASHINGTON, July 24 - The Bush administration has been going to court to block lawsuits by consumers who say they have been injured by prescription drugs and medical devices.
The administration contends that consumers cannot recover damages for such injuries if the products have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. In court papers, the Justice Department acknowledges that this position reflects a

VITAMIN D Lowers Risk Of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Health e-Tips
Dear Reader,
Dr. Wright has written about vitamin D quite a bit lately in Nutrition & Healing. So when I saw a study in the January issue of the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology that mentioned this valuable nutrient, I decided to take a closer look. The study indicated that women with higher levels of vitamin D had a significantly lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) than women with low levels. The study showed the best results when vitamin D was supplemented at a level of at least 400 IU/day. But according to Dr. Wright, this figure is actually on the low side.

OBESITY: 'Cheeseburger bill' passes U.S. House
By JESSE J. HOLLAND (AP)
The House moved on Wednesday to stop lawyers from pinning the blame for America's obesity crisis on fast-food and other restaurants in supersized lawsuits that Republicans say could bankrupt the food industry. The congresssional debate came a day after the government said eating too much could soon replace smoking as the No. 1 preventable cause of death. Two out of three adults and 9 million children are overweight or obese, the report said. Fast-food franchises and mom-and-pop restaurants shouldn't take the blame for that when Americans make the choice to

Ephedra Battle Moves To The Courts
...NVE's suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, asks for the court to set aside the ban because it violates the 1994 law. It also appears to set the legal groundwork for damage claims against the government. NVE claims in the suit that between 2000 and 2003 its revenues grew from $29 million to $80 million, nearly all from ephedra dietary supplements. But since the FDA moved to ban ephedra, the suit says, NVE's sales of these products have comprised less than 5% of total sales. The states of New York, California and Illinois have already banned the selling

Win For Health Foods In France
Typically, most regulatory bodies in collusion with their Pharma cronies illegally and/or abusively wheeled their power to squash health food/alternate medicine competition.
They know that there is little chance anyone will and/or be able to afford a challenge to their abusive and frequently illegal actions. Fortunately, the French health regulatory authority body finally got trapped, by a bigger fish, and lost to the European Court of Justice, indirectly moving our cause forward. A good precedent for future battles now going on in Canada as well.

Mercury 'linked to autism'
Children who develop autism may do so because they have problems processing the toxic metal mercury, researchers have suggested. US researchers looked at mercury levels in the baby hair of children who later developed autism, a developmental disability that affects how a person communicates and interacts with other people. They were found to have far lower levels of mercury than children who did not have the condition, according to New Scientist magazine. The researchers say this could be because autistic children's bodies cannot make use of metals such as mercury properly, or because they

In some cases the drugs at issue have already been pulled off the market, like Rezulin, a diabetes treatment from Pfizer that the Food and Drug Administration has linked to liver damage and is the target of almost 9,000 suits.
