I recently received the following email:
I sincerely appreciate your website. The topics and insights are helping me, my family, and patients so much every day as we try to have a healthier lifestyle in this modern, altercated environment.
Below is the link to a powerful documentary film – “Genetic Roulette” – about the toxicity, widespread contamination, health risks, and politics of GMO’s. As I understood it, this link will only be available for a short time until the film is released for sale, but the encouragement was to get this message out for a wide audience to see. Please view it ASAP.
Since your newsletter reaches so many conscientious people, please consider including a note with this link in your next newsletter.
To which I respond:
Yes, GMOs are a huge problem. You see, the DNA maps on to the Veda in a very direct way. The Veda is the structure that underlies nature. To live in harmony with nature (true health) means that the physiology is in harmony with the Veda. The DNA code underlying your physiology is the gateway to the code underlying all of nature, namely, the Veda. DNA is the genetic code, which parallels and evolved out of, the Veda.
The DNA of each species resonates more fully with one or another aspect of the Veda. That is why herbal medicine works. By ingesting a plant that carries a strong influence of an aspect of the Veda that your physiology may be weak in, that aspect of your physiology is strengthened. Food supports your physiology in the same way.
However, when the DNA code of your food is altered, the influence is the opposite. The physiology is, over time, broken down. As per the video, many diseases result. The infusion of GMOs into our food supply is a big mistake.
Recently, I blogged about the troubled world economy. Now the troubled food supply. I do understand that many people become upset by such blogs. Please look beyond just getting upset. Look to being inspired – inspired to act.
We have the knowledge to understand the big picture as it applies to everything from food to the economy to every single field of life. We have the technology to cure any and all ills. To do so is a life well lived. Some will choose to direct that knowledge in a specific area, like GMOs. Personally, I direct my efforts to the very essence of the solution. By enlivening that, solutions to all problems will find a pathway to success. How a person chooses to direct themselves after gaining this knowledge is a personal matter.
Incidentally, it is indeed a small world. The video was directed by Jeff Smith. Coincidentally, I know him. He is a wonderful man that was in the ashram with me. We were inspired to serve humanity. He has chosen to do so by raising awareness of GMOs. I commend him for his efforts.
Yikes, it seems so obvious after watching the movie. Don’t mess with mother nature. This is why I have to shop at Whole Foods and pay twice as much for food grown naturally. I was at a grocery store the other day (won’t mention the name) and noticed a sign posted near the produce—it read, “our vegetables could cause birth defects”. Lets just say it wasn’t an american grocery store, however I assumed the soil is the same as other non-organic grocery stores. Too bad too, I loved their pea sprouts. :
Shop at Farmers Markets, join CSA’s, you don’t have to just buy from Whole Foids, better yet, grow a garden, with Heirloom seeds. Why it isn’t a concern for more Americans like it is others in the world?
Thank you for posting this! It gave me goose bumps.
I’ve read only Canada and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world that don’t require GMO labeling. Monsanto brought Agent Orange, now GMO seeds.
A great link of what is going on India with GMO seeds:

And actually, Whole Foods is not safe, either. Their brand “365” is one of (at least) three major organic lines that do not consider GMOs non-organic! The other brands are Stonyfield Farms and … I forget the third.
Another point to make is that the pesticides being used and dleevoped at this time are systemic , they are meant to be absorbed into the plant. So not only do we eat pesticides such as Bt Toxin, we are eating a second pesticide such as clothiandin that is being sprayed on the GMO plants. The EPA approves the pesticides, however does no testing of its own. They are not allowed to recommend labeling cautions. The FDA also does not test on its own. Plenty of studies show the endocrine disorders etc. We deserve to make our own decisions because afterall, it is a free market, eh? Well, truth be told, it’s only a free market for the big corporations, not for us because we’re kept in the dark.
