The New Epidemic Sweeping Across America (and it's Not a Disease)
Some of you who have spoken to me at the Sundays Encinitas Farmers Market know my issues with western medicine and nutrition.......This is something I was aware of many years ago as a nurse. It is only now being reported.
The New Epidemic Sweeping Across America (and it's Not a Disease)
Story at-a-glance
• For the first time, deaths from properly prescribed drugs now outnumber traffic fatalities in the United States
• Drug-induced fatalities are being fueled by overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications
• Those most at risk from dying from this new drug crisis are people in their 40s, but teenagers and the elderly are also at risk
• Between 2001 and 2008, there was a 36 percent increase in hospital admissions, and a 28 percent increase in emergency room visits, among children 5 and younger who had accidentally ingested medication
By Dr. Mercola
Death by medicine is a 21st-century epidemic, and America's "war on drugs" is clearly directed at the wrong enemy!
Prescription drugs are now killing far more people than illegal drugs, and while most major causes of preventable deaths are declining, those from prescription drug use are increasing, an analysis of recently released data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by the Los Angeles Times revealed.
The Times analysis of 2009 death statistics, the most recent available, showed:
• For the first time ever in the US, more people were killed by drugs than motor vehicle accidents
• 37,485 people died from drugs, a rate fueled by overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications, versus 36,284 from traffic accidents
• Drug fatalities more than doubled among teens and young adults between 2000 and 2008, and more than tripled among people aged 50 to 69
Again, these drug-induced fatalities are not being driven by illegal street drugs; the analysis found that the most commonly abused prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma now cause more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.
"Pharmageddon" is Upon Us
Pharmageddon is "the prospect of a world in which medicines and medicine produce more ill-health than health, and when medical progress does more harm than good" -- and it is no longer a prospect but fully upon us. Those most at risk from dying from this new drug crisis are people you would least expect; the analysis revealed the death toll is highest among people in their 40s, but all ages, from teenagers to the elderly, and all walks of life are being affected. In fact, prescription drugs are now the preferred "high" for many, especially teens, as they are typically used legally, which eliminates the stigma of being a "junkie."
And even if you don't have your own prescription, drugs of all kinds can be found in the nearest medicine cabinet in most homes.
Yet, these drugs are also now being sold on the black market and on street corners, where people who have run out of prescriptions are willing to pay upwards of $80 a pill to get their fix. Many become addicted after using the drugs for headaches or back pain, and teens are increasingly taking the pills from their parents to use recreationally, under the false assumption that they are not dangerous.
As written in the Baltimore Sun:
"According to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, prescription drugs are second to marijuana as the drug of choice for today's teens. In fact, seven of the top 10 drugs used by 12th-graders were prescription drugs.
More than 40 percent of high school seniors reported that painkillers are "fairly" or "very" easy to get. They also reported that they believed that if they were to get caught, there was less shame attached to the use of prescription drugs than to street drugs. This mirrors the perceptions of their parents, who when queried said that they felt prescription drugs were a safer alternative to drugs typically sold by a drug dealer."
How Many are Dying From Prescription Drugs?
Nearly 20 percent of Americans have used prescription drugs for nonmedicinal reasons, three-quarters of whom may be abusing them. Legal prescription drug abuse is a silent epidemic, and is part of the reason why the modern American medical system has become the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. Authored in two parts by Gary Null, PhD, Carolyn Dean, MD ND, Martin Feldman, MD, Debora Rasio, MD, and Dorothy Smith, PhD, the comprehensive Death by Medicine article described in excruciating detail how everything from medical errors to adverse drug reactions to unnecessary procedures caused more harm than good.
Seven years after the original article was written, an analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine November 25, 2010 piqued my interest -- the researchers found that, despite efforts to improve patient safety in the past few years, the health care system hasn't changed much at all. So, earlier this year I updated posted an update to the original Death by Medicine article, which, unfortunately, shows more of the same:
• In a June 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, study authors said that in looking over records that spanned from 1976 to 2006 (the most recent year available) they found that, of 62 million death certificates, almost a quarter-million deaths were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors.
• An estimated 450,000 preventable medication-related adverse events occur in the U.S. every year.
• The costs of adverse drug reactions to society are more than $136 billion annually -- greater than the total cost of cardiovascular or diabetic care.
• Adverse drug reactions cause injuries or death in 1 of 5 hospital patients.
• The reason there are so many adverse drug events in the U.S. is because so many drugs are used and prescribed – and many patients receive multiple prescriptions at varying strengths, some of which may counteract each other or cause more severe reactions when combined.
There are numerous repercussions to a society that eats, breathes and sleeps prescription medications, not the least of which is its impact on children. Between 2001 and 2008, there was a 36 percent increase in hospital admissions, and a 28 percent increase in emergency room visits, among children 5 and younger who had accidentally ingested medication. ER visits for ingestion of prescription opioid painkillers, such as Oxycodone, increased 101 percent!
And in 2009, there were nearly 4.6 million drug-related visits to U.S. emergency rooms nationwide, with more than half due to adverse reactions to prescription medications – most of which were being taken exactly as prescribed. When you add in the growing numbers of people who are using these drugs recreationally or due to addiction, you begin to see the magnitude of the problem that the pharmaceutical industry is propagating.
Unfortunately, this problem is now seriously impacting the next generation. When you were a teenager you may have snuck a beer or two at a party … nowadays teens will mix a variety of prescription pills together in a bowl and take a mouthful of them like candy! The kids think this is a safe way to get high, since they see their parents taking the same medications all the time, but it often turns out to be a literal prescription for disaster that can even be deadly.
The Real Thugs of the Drug World
The "war on drugs" has focused nearly exclusively on the illegal trafficking of drugs like cocaine, heroin and marijuana, while the most powerful drug dealers of all -- the pharmaceutical companies -- are allowed to grow their businesses with the U.S. government's gold seal of approval.
But make no mistake – the leading pharmaceutical companies are also among the largest corporate criminals in the world, and they are really nothing more than white-collar drug dealers.
Although many fail to realize this, prescription drugs can be just as addictive as illegal drugs. In fact, in many cases there's no difference between a street drug and a prescription drug. For example, hydrocodone, a prescription opiate, is synthetic heroin. It's indistinguishable from any other heroine as far as your brain and body is concerned. So, if you're hooked on hydrocodone, you are in fact a good-old-fashioned heroin addict.
But aside from the nature of their business, fraud, kickbacks, price-setting, bribery and illegal sales activities are all par for the course for big-name drug companies. Last year I set out to investigate some of the criminal activities that some of the largest pharmaceutical companies had been convicted of lately, and the amount of gross misconduct, fraud and deceit I found was so insidious, so massive, and so overwhelming that it shocked even me.
You can read the grim details in full here, but here is just a sampling of what the top drug companies are up to:
• Merck: With a long list of deaths to its credit, and more than $5.5 billion in judgments and fines levied against it, it was five years before Merck made its $30-billion recall of the painkiller Vioxx that I warned my readers that it might be a real killer for some people. After the drug was withdrawn, and 60,000 had already died, Merck picked up the pieces painlessly by getting a new drug fast-tracked and on the market.
That drug is Gardasil, a vaccine that so far has been linked to thousands of adverse events and at least 49 unexplained deaths. It's a situation that the FDA and CDC have been denying repeatedly, keeping their heads buried in the sand even as the adverse reports mount.
• Baxter: Dozens of recalls of products that caused deaths and injuries, at least 11 different guilty pleas to fraud and illegal sales activity, more than 200 lawsuits – many of them stemming from selling AIDS-tainted blood to hemophiliacs – and more than $1.3 billion in criminal fines and civil penalties.
• Pfizer: In the largest health care fraud settlement in history, Pfizer was ordered to pay $2.3 billion to resolve criminal and civil allegations that the company illegally promoted uses of four of its drugs, including the painkiller Bextra, the antipsychotic Geodon, the antibiotic Zyvox, and the anti-epileptic Lyrica.
How Can You Avoid Being Killed by a Prescription Drug?
There is a risk of side effects every time you take a prescription drug. No one (except for those who intentionally overdose) expects these medications to kill them, but they can do just that, and it happens far more often than you might think! In a study recently released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), officials emphasized that people should not assume there's no risk in prescribed medicines. The truth is, the only way to avoid all risk, including death, from prescription drugs is to not take them at all.
It is your body, not your doctor's and not your pharmacist's, so it is up to you to make the decision of what drugs to take, if any. Be SURE you are aware of the risks of any medication prescribed to you, and weigh them against any possible benefit. Then you can make a well-informed decision of whether it's a risk you're willing to take.
Of course, of paramount importance is also taking control of your health so you can stay well naturally, without the use of drugs or even frequent conventional medical care. If you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, you most likely will never need medications in the first place. This includes:
1. Proper Food Choices
Generally speaking, you should be looking to focus your diet on whole, unprocessed foods (vegetables, meats, raw dairy, nuts, and so forth) that come from healthy, sustainable, local sources, such as a small organic farm not far from your home.
For the best nutrition and health benefits, you will want to eat a good portion of your food raw. Personally, I aim to eat about 80-85 percent of my food raw, including raw eggs and humanely raised organic animal products that have not been raised on a CAFO (confined animal feeding operation).
Nearly as important as knowing which foods to eat more of is knowing which foods to avoid, and topping the list is fructose. Sugar, and fructose in particular, acts as a toxin in and of itself, and as such drive multiple disease processes in your body, not the least of which is insulin resistance, a major cause of accelerated aging.
2. Comprehensive Exercise Program, including High-Intensity Exercise like Peak Fitness
Even if you're eating the healthiest diet in the world, you still need to exercise to reach the highest levels of health, and you need to be exercising effectively, which means including not only core-strengthening exercises, strength training, and stretching but also high-intensity activities into your rotation. High-intensity interval-type training boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which is essential for optimal health, strength and vigor. I've discussed the importance of Peak Fitness for your health on numerous occasions, so for more information, please review this previous article.
3. Stress Reduction and Positive Thinking
You cannot be optimally healthy if you avoid addressing the emotional component of your health and longevity, as your emotional state plays a role in nearly every physical disease -- from heart disease and depression, to arthritis and cancer. Effective coping mechanisms are a major longevity-promoting factor in part because stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day. Meditation, prayer, social support and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium.
4. Proper Sun Exposure to Optimize Vitamin D
We have long known that it is best to get your vitamin D from sun exposure, and if at all possible, I strongly urge you to make sure you're getting out in the sun on a daily basis. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that oral vitamin D may not provide the identical benefits, although it's still better than none at all.
Just keep in mind that it's really best to get ALL your vitamin D from the sun. It appears that vitamin D plays a crucial role in sulfur metabolism and when you swallow it orally it may not have the same benefit as getting it from the sun.
5. Take High Quality Animal-Based Omega-3 Fats
Animal-based omega-3 fat is a strong factor in helping people live longer, and many experts believe that it is likely the predominant reason why the Japanese are the longest lived race on the planet.
6. Avoid as Many Chemicals, Toxins, and Pollutants as Possible
This includes tossing out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air fresheners, bug sprays, lawn pesticides, and insecticides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alternatives.

PET PEEVES>>>>
This is a message I sent to a Pet Cancer Organization that is obviously making money from pets diseases.
“ This really pisses me off. You KNOW where cancer in animals comes from. Textbook cognitive dissidence is no excuse. You will continue to make money from canine cancer the same way the Cancer organizations do...by not taking responsibility for the cause as the main issue. If you cannot address this issue then you are part of the problem not the cure!”

What People are Saying about FFO
Works on People and Pets!
Works on People and Pets! I first ordered the FFO with regard to controlling insect and flea activity in my yard and not having to pay Tru-Green Chem Lawn it's outrageous yearly fee that is now up to $900.00 dollars. After reading all in information on FFO I decided to take it myself, and also to give it to our 2 German Shepperds and our cats. I also talked my wife, daughter and son into using it and it has been great. I no longer have stomach or digestive problems. My blood pressure is now normal without medication. I haven't had a headache since using the FFO and I use to have them on a regular basis. My daughter, age 35, no longer has IBS or migraine headaches. We all feel better and have more energy. The dogs no longer have any body odor and have very healthy stools, and they also seem more active. The cats fur looks sleeker and more healthy even though both cats are getting on in years. They also seem happier and very healthy. I have also told several friends about FFO and have given them quart size ziplock bags of FFO to try. Thanks very much,
Amazing!!
Holy Cow, this stuff is amazing!!! We have been using this product for about two weeks, and today my husband, who's bald on the top, came to me and asked if it was his imagination but he thought his hair was growing back. LO and BEHOLD it was, not like all over , but in noticeable patches, talk about a happy man! That alone prompted me to write this letter. As for me, I have noticed a decrease in floaters, my Fibromyalgia pain has "dulled" in it's intensity, and the skin on my arms, which had red itchy bumps, from my sun allergy, have almost disappeared. I also use FFO to keep the "ever so annoying" soap bugs off the walls and out of my patio by making a perimeter around the fence and across the sidewalk. My Chihuahua also takes it everyday in some wet dog food. It got rid of those disgusting roundworms she picked at the dog park, and I'm confident it killed other parasites that I didn't see too..YUCK! I read that FFO is as important to normal body function as oxygen is, and since this type of silica is lacking in most foods, taking this product as a supplement is the best thing one can do for their family's health. This is an excellent natural product with outstanding health benefits, and a great price to boot! LOVE IT! Sincerely, Ellen and family
Worked So Fast!
My cats have been having problems with diarrhea for so long. We used worm medicine from the vet several times. Their diarrhea would clear up, only to return again. I was searching the internet looking for an alternative to what my vet was prescribing and came upon your web site. I am a medical transcriptionist and have suffered for the last several years with severe back pain, from sitting at my computer all day. I also have hand and knee pain and low energy levels. Most of the time, I just want to sleep and after sleeping, I wake up feeling worse---more pain and no energy. I am only 52 and this just doesn't seem normal to feel so tired all the time. I decided to try your FFO. My order arrived early Monday morning---today is Friday. I opened it right up, put a tablespoon in my OJ and drank it down. I also mixed it into my cats food and fed them immediately. I am giving it to them once a day. My mom and myself are taking 2 tablespoons a day, morning and evening. It has been 4 days since I started FFO and I CANNOT believe the change in my mom, myself and my cats. Their diarrhea has stopped completely. Even though some of them are getting up there in years, they are all playing like kittens. I mix the FFO in their canned food and they inhale it--almost as if they are craving this stuff. But for me, the most remarkable effect is that I have no pain. I just can't believe anything can work this fast and this well. I just cannot believe it. My mom also suffers from chronic diarrhea, which her physician can find no cause for, or effective treatment for. She has just accepted that she will have to live with it the rest of her life. She also suffers from arthritis. She also started on FFO last Monday and cannot believe the changes taking place in her body. She has had no diarrhea in the past week and she says her joint pain is gone. Neither of us has had any ill-effects from taking the FFO, only positive results. i can't help wondering if both of us feel this good after only a week, what will a month on FFO bring? And, my skin, it is getting so soft and shiny! I know I've said too much, but I've been mislead on so many other products that promise so much and do nothing, and this one is so AMAZING! I'm telling everyone that I know about FFO---I think it is a miracle from GOD! Carol from IN
Triglycerides Down!
I have been on FFO for 6 months now and I just had my lab work done. My triglycerides have been reduced from 495 down to 203. I have so much more energy and my hair and nails are growing so much better. My husband has had HBP and since being on the dirt, his BP is now in the normal range. It has also helped with my varicose veins and I no longer have any pain from them.. Rhonda from Louisiana
Lower Blood Pressure!
Hope you are well. As promised back on July 29, I wanted to provide some feedback on the product that you gave me. Of the approximately 40 days I could have taken it, I HAVE probably 36-37 of those days and must tell you I am very pleased with the results. I have been mixing it with Orange or Cranberry juice and there is absolutely no bad flavor which I have experienced with other products. My energy level is at an all time high, and although aches and pains, and the regular "creaks" you have in a 43 year old body have never been HUGE for me, but I can tell you that my joints have never felt better. The best part is how it affected my blood pressure. I have been battling some borderline high blood pressure for years, generally somewhere in the 135/145 over 90/95 range. Over the last week or two, it has been consistently around 132/83, which I am thrilled with. I have yet to take that physical to get some of the other numbers checked, but I am excited about that process and feel that I will see some overall improvement in things such as triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Thanks so much for the product?.You have a customer for life! Tom
Works on People and Pets! I first ordered the FFO with regard to controlling insect and flea activity in my yard and not having to pay Tru-Green Chem Lawn it's outrageous yearly fee that is now up to $900.00 dollars. After reading all in information on FFO I decided to take it myself, and also to give it to our 2 German Shepperds and our cats. I also talked my wife, daughter and son into using it and it has been great. I no longer have stomach or digestive problems. My blood pressure is now normal without medication. I haven't had a headache since using the FFO and I use to have them on a regular basis. My daughter, age 35, no longer has IBS or migraine headaches. We all feel better and have more energy. The dogs no longer have any body odor and have very healthy stools, and they also seem more active. The cats fur looks sleeker and more healthy even though both cats are getting on in years.

A little more info on how to be more creative with FFO/DE
BE CREATEIVE WHEN USING FFO, You will have better results
Yes, it’s messy but when you think of the alternative I hope it will inspire you to use it as directed. If you don’t, you will not get the results…this may help.
FFO isn’t easy to deal with but it is an effective healthy alternative when used effectively and as directed. Its use has wide range of uses so be creative when using it with other bug and mildew problems…yes it works on mildew.
If you have wood or tile floors, sweep some FFO under the base boards. Leave it there! FFO will not rot or cause any problems other than kill any bug that comes in contact with it. Sprinkle it under your sinks and in silverware drawers then cover with paper or drawer liner. Do the same to your closets or any dark place where bugs and mildew like to live. Sprinkle it on your bed to kill and retard bed bugs. San Diego is now a prime environment for bed bugs. Take some with you when you travel to sprinkle on hotel mattresses. Use in your cat box to kill bacteria, worms and mold. Put some in your bagged vacuum. Rugs, carpets, pet bedding, outside around doors and windows as well as screen. I know it’s ugly but in this case…ugly is a good thing. Let it remind you that you and your family are not being exposed to life altering trans-dermal neurotoxins. Since most insects have a laying cycle of 7 to 21 days, we recommend treating inside the home for at least 30 days for best effectiveness. If the insect problem is coming from outside the home and the insects are now residing in your home, treat both outside the home and inside at the same time for maximum effectiveness. It helps keep the crickets, ants, silverfish, roaches, earwigs, flies, mites, and all other disgusting insects from bothering us and our wonderful animals. It will not harm earthworms, provided you just apply to the top of the compost or worm farm soil. The earthworms will slowly work the DE into the soil making them healthier, as well as the soil. Of course, if you put the earthworms in a bucket of DE, it will dehydrate them. It also doesn’t harm bees because they have hair that keep it away from their bodies. Mix FFO with water to paint our fruit tree trunks with it, like a white wash. The DE keeps ants OFF our fruit trees. 1 cup applied to ½ gallon of water works well. Be sure to stir frequently as the FFO DE settles to the bottom. Good as a white wash for wood fencing too and it works on termites.
MORE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH BENEFITS: Food grade diatomaceous earth has been reported in scientific literature to absorb methyl mercury, e-coli, endotoxins, viruses (including polio virus), organophosphate pesticide residues, drug resides, and protein, perhaps even the proteinaceous toxins produced by some intestinal infections. Food grade diatomaceous earth detoxes.
There are some features about food grade diatomaceous earth that correspond with its ability as both a digestive aid and a colon cleanser. The honeycomb skeletal form of diatomaceous earth is found, under microscopic evaluation to reveal a tendency to become filled and clogged with hard debris such as intestinal scale. Food grade diatomaceous earth has not been found to cause any insult to the mucosa or barrier wall.
FFO DE has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge, wherein it is believed by some that food grade diatomaceous earth sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form.
There is no withdrawal period when given to milking or feed animals. No toxins. Decreased mortality, increased milk production, decreased mastitis, better feed conversion.
Is food grade diatomaceous earth safe to take during pregnancy? Yes, DE is excellent for those who are pregnant and not pregnant alike. During pregnancy, it is best to start with a small dose - 1/2 tsp. daily for the first few days or weeks if needed, making sure to drink plenty of clean fresh pure water (not city tap water) to help sweep toxins out of the body and slowly increase the dose as the pregnant mom-to-be feels fit to do so. This helps prevent a heavy detox by starting out with a heaping tbsp. daily.
Since food grade DE eliminates all intestinal worms and parasites when fed in adequate daily doses, this means the body will better absorb the nutrients from the food the person is consuming as these worms and parasites aren't consuming the nutritional value of the food and sucking the blood, which in turn provides higher quality nutrients to the unborn fetus, making it stronger and healthier as well. Note, DE will not be effective as a natural wormer for the unborn fetus, but can be given in small amounts in bottle feedings once the baby is born to eliminate pin worms, etc
WHY IS YOUR DE LABELED FOOD CHEMICAL CODEX GRADE? The ONLY kind of DE we sell is labeled "Food Chemical Codex Grade". This is "food" grade DE, though the "Chemical" sounds scary, it was labeled that way so that people would realize it isn't just to feed to humans or animals, but so people realize it can be used externally for fleas, flies, ticks, mites, bed bugs, and other insect pests in organic farming situations, etc., as it "acts" like a chemical by dehydrating insects, but it is NOT a chemical in the traditional sense of being a pesticide type thing.
FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH BENEFITS SUMMARY:
• Natural wormer – eliminates many parasites without chemicals
• Safe, non-toxic, parasites don’t build immunity as they do with traditional wormers
• 15 trace minerals – great for animals, humans, plants, and soil
• No feed withdrawal for milk or feed animals
• Decreased mastitis
• Reduced scours
• Decreased mortality
• Better feed conversion
• Helps detox heavy metals, ecoli, bacteria, viruses, etc.
• Promotes shinier coats
• Digestive aid
• Colon cleanser
• Better production
• Better overall health
• Eliminates pests in stored grains
• Reduces flies, fleas, ticks, etc.
• Reduces manure odor
• Drying agent
• Reduces moisture and pests in barns, coops, kennel, litter boxes, compost piles, and other moist areas
• Anti-fungal properties – good for garden fungal growth
• Reduces overall animal stress
• Cost effective
• DE health benefits mean reduction in vet bills and dis-ease
Food grade diatomaceous earth has excellent health benefits for humans. Taken daily, it helps eliminate all intestinal worms such as roundworms, pin worms, etc., and parasites from the body and keeps the bowels clean. Food grade DE is also known to sweep some bacteria out of the system, but DE does NOT kill the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Most people who consume food grade DE take it on a daily basis. DE contains 15 naturally occurring minerals that are excellent for the body. These minerals promote healthier, shinier hair, skin and nails.
NOTE: ALL references to diatomaceous earth on this page refer ONLY to FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth, unless otherwise advised. NEVER use pool filter grade or diatomaceous earth internally or in your home or on your animals, unless it is FOOD GRADE!
Toxins that are not getting to the water table when you use this method, or in our soil which is where you pets pick up heavy metals and pesticides. FFO is shipped from Canada and has an extra calcium component that binds to heavy metals. If you would like me to send you the studies done on animal and human exposure to heavy metals like aluminum and mercury just shoot me an email. Bodies that are compromised by toxins and heavy metals are compromised and need more supplementation starting with FFO or any Diatomaceous earth you can find. Ours is just more pure, effective, and you don’t need to take as much of it.

A Little About Me...
I’m disabled and must live on that. I make very little on this. A month supply is $15 a much larger bag is $25. I barely break even and consider this a community service. My job as I see it is to educate people to use organics again which in most cased are just as effective it not more, they are just used differently. I worked the Encinitas Farmers Market yesterday and didn't make enough to cover your vender costs. My table is 2 x 4. I can't afford a canopy so I sit in the sun teaching people that there is an alternative to toxic flea treatments.
I package it in freezer bags with directions on the front. I provide additional information so they know this is not something that is presently marketed. There is one who decided to market it on her own. That’s fine, as long as the word gets out. My hope is that someday I’ll find an investor or that my service won't be needed anymore because everyone will know how to prevent the sad incidence of Canine/human Cancer.

Its 3:AM. Can’t sleep...
Its 3:AM. Can’t sleep knowing that I won’t be able to let people know that at the dog street fairs and beach functions to let them know FFO is an effective way to treat both fleas and worms, organically. Those people with never know they can protect their dogs from heart worm and cats from lung worm All the people that will be there, that had they known about this product… they and their animals could have been spared the heart ache of canine cancer AND human cancer caused by exposture to these toxins. Their owners are probably still faithfully applying the very product that gave them cancer in the first place. But Im still in there, and will be as long as time, energy and money hold out.
