Franken Foods: Are Genetically Modified Foods Killing Us

I believe that GMO foods are creating new and dangerous disease. Attached in an article that discusses one of these new diseases; Morgellens.

Is New Terrifying Disease the Cause of Genetically Modified Foods? Have you ever heard of "Morgellon's Disease?" As of February 2007, more than 10,000 reports of the mysterious disease have been reported on the Morgellon Foundation's website. That's up from 2,000 reports in February of 2006. Reports come from 15 nations across the world, including Canada, the UK, Australia and The Netherlands, as well as all 50 U.S. states. The majority of reports have come from Texas, California and Florida. People with Morgellon's disease describe it as a feeling of bugs or parasites scuttling around beneath their skin, accompanied by open lesions that heal slowly and ooze out blue, black or white fibers that can be several millimeters long. These fibers appear like pliable plastic. They can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled and elicit shooting pains when you try to remove them. The CDC, unusually slow to respond to what can only be described as a new outbreak, has finally set up a web page about the phenomenon, which they refer to as "Unexplained Dermopathy." In August 2007 -- a year after vowing to look into the terrifying disorder -- they gave $300,000 to Kaiser Permanente to investigate the disease. The CDC's website lists additional symptoms, including fatigue, mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, changes in vision, and social dysfunction, including suicide. According to an article in Natural News, published last week, Morgellon's disease may be linked to genetically modified food. While the CDC dragged its feet, a research team from Oklahoma State University lead by Dr. Randy Wymore, studied some of the fibers sent to them by Morgellons patients. They found that the fibers from different people look remarkably similar to each other, yet do not match any common environmental fibers.

Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other eukaryotic species, including human cells. Are we now teetering on the brink of the GM food disaster we feared from the very beginning? Dr Mercola's article: "This Company May Be the Biggest Threat to Your Future Health" should be a must read for everyone. Watch the 2-hour video expose. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/01/this-company-may-be-the-biggest-threat-to-your-future-health.aspx?source=nl

I'm very glad you wrote this. The word about Morgellons needs to get out to the wider public so they can have a very real, concrete example of the possible effects of consuming GMO foods. Naturally, no one wants to be an alarmist, but federal food and health agencies aren't living up to their responsiblities to publicize the issue. Thanks!
