He insisted on his victim/patients getting a "hair analysis". This 300 dollar item came back from the LA lab with a long list of chemicals that are in yo' hair. All of which needed his healing touch.<br />Anyway. My friend goes in and the good Doc tells him that he needs another hair sample because the one he had taken showed that he had 12 percent lead in his chemical composition. Actually enough Lead to kill a herd of fat elephants. The Doc's face was askew and he was verklempt.<br />I, being of an observant predilection, asked my friend what kind of hair color he used. He should have been white as snow...welp, he used a hair product that was essentially "lead based". A Grecian Formula knock off sort of thing. The good Doc was chagrined, my friend was fleeced and I learned alot about the horseshit the lords of eternal Naturalness offer. <br />Now, I am not accusing Da Hoos of using such a hair product, but there are many things that git into us, on us and around us.<br />Hairs to ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-59340934816060220112016-06-21T16:16:54.152-10:002016-06-21T16:16:54.152-10:00If you are going to convince me that GMO's are...If you are going to convince me that GMO's are bad and that the seed companies are using too much pesticides, then why wouldn't I want a first hand look at what is really going on even if I show up unannounced at the farm? For Gary to say he doesn't have to show up to review a farms operations is down right stupid if he is speaking from a point of authority. Just reading up on these issues doesn't make you an expert. I for one would like to say that I can speak with some sense of authority because I showed up for one of the tours at Syngenta. They allowed me to speak my mind. <br /><br />Gary, you are a damn fool if you are trying to condemn these seed companies and yet you haven't visited any of them. You are on a wild witch hunt in my books. Grow some balls for crying out loud so you can say yes you visited the seed company. I'm getting so sick and tired of your nonsense that you are trying to convince me of something but you haven't tried it yet. Visiting is not saying you are exposed to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-17655799985219135022016-06-21T13:58:04.409-10:002016-06-21T13:58:04.409-10:00It's about time that Pioneer does this kind of...It's about time that Pioneer does this kind of work here on island! The wait has been long and many have made others aware of how the seed companies have been working here for over a decade-----being that people have shown concern, even so far as a suit Pioneer lost, there should be no turning back for the company, but only to get better by protecting the land and the people who live in proximity of the industry. They have to, for their own survival, become better at taking care of this earth! It's a good thing that people have and are standing up to their harmful practices-----what i see on this website, as to how they have undertaken different practices is good for my soul!

Make it mandatory for all of them to go, even GH. Then they also can go to visit an organic farm, or D Barca's private plantation of organic vegetable. We'll do it before the election so they would be free to make comments prior to their constituents or fistees. I'm being sarcastic, to a point. <br /><br /> Being a local forever, I've lived through the DDT spray, the sabidong, the Heptaclor, the Chlordane, the fertilizer sprayed from planes and helicopters, the smoke from burning cane, playing in the canefield ditches, flumes and reservoirs, parents spraying us with Raid during mosquito attacks, chewing lead foil and playing with mercury, and the like. I'm still here. Not too sharp, but still here.<br /><br />You think I'm bothered by good coffee and perfect corn? Hell, NO.

Where you cite the use of biocontrol: "For example, they grow cover crops, including sunn hemp, which is a host for a parasitic wasp that helps control the corn earwig." It should read corn earworm not corn earwig. Not sure if there is a corn earwig but it does sound wicked!<br /><br />Thank you again for your clear-headed, critical thinking approach to the world around us.

Why would I need to visit a hospital to see other physicians at work? We all know what goes on in hospitals." Anybody ready for their procedure with Dr. Hooser?
