		GMO Free: Exposing the Hazards of Biotechnology to Ensure the Integrity of our Food Supply More than 600 scientists from 72 countries have called for a moratorium on the environmental release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This book represents the research and concerns of many of these scientists. The evidence they have compiled makes a strong case for a worldwide ban on GM crops to make way for a comprehensive shift to sustainable agriculture and organic farming. Genetic engineering of food crops is an ecological and health crisis that affects us all. Its consequences are global and potentially irrevocable. Learn the basis of the decisions your government and major multinational corporations are now making for you. And begin to take the future into your own hands by consuming organic foods. "This outstanding compilation by the world's leading experts provides overwhelming evidence that GM foods and crops are dangerous to human health and the environment. So many of the assumptions underlying industry's safety claims have been proven wrong, it's astonishing that GMOs are still allowed on the market. The case made in this pivotal work is clear: Remove GMOs or face a potential disaster. I hope it's not too late."

New Postings to this Site Scientists Must be Held Responsible and Protected by Law Scientists are responsible for acquiring new data and evaluating existing data without bias, and should be protected by law for doing so; but if they fail, they too should be liable to prosecution Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Peter Saunders, 3rd August 2009 Why Civilisations Collapse Modern society is technologically far superior to any that has gone before, we have all the means to head off the worst effects of climate change and adapt to those we cannot avoid. History tells us however that the most common reason societies collapse is not inadequate science or technology but failure to take the difficult decisions necessary for survival Prof. Peter Saunders, 29th July 2009 Fast-tracked Swine Flu Vaccine under Fire The vaccines far more deadly than the swine flu; mass vaccinations a recipe for disaster Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins, 27th July 2009 Brian Goodwin, A Pioneer across the Disciplines It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Prof. Brian Goodwin in his last post as Resident Scholar at Schumacher College at the age of 78.

Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 16th July 2009 Ban Glyphosate Herbicides Now Scientists Confirm Potent Hormone Disrupting Effects. Latest evidence confirms world's top-selling herbicide used with GM crops is toxic and disrupts sex hormones at infinitesimal doses; time for a worldwide ban Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 15th July 2009 Glyphosate Herbicide Could Cause Birth Defects Argentina Considers Ban Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 14th July 2009 Medicine in a New Key Conventional medicine is dying ultimately because it is based on an obsolete dominant mechanistic model that does not recognize the coherence of the organism. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho explores how a science of the organism could underpin a new organic medicine that would best serve the nation.
