You may have heard of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange in reference to the U.S. Military’s herbicidal warfare program in Vietnam. The forests were sprayed with the goal of depriving guerrillas of their rural support and food supply by forcing peasant farmers to flee to cities, which were dominated by U.S. forces. One of many negative side effects of this policy is a toxic chemical compound within Agent Orange which resulted in an estimated 400,000 people being killed or maimed, and 500,000 children being born with birth defects.

Today, a major component of Agent Orange (2,4-D) is still used to control the growth of weeds, and the Dow Chemical Company is seeking approval for a new genetically engineered corn (DAS-40278-9) which is designed to survive repeated spraying of the toxic herbicide.

Many studies have shown a proven link between 2,4-D exposure and the major health problems that those in Vietnam suffered, including cancer, lowered sperm counts, liver toxicity, Parkinson’s disease, endocrine disruption, reproductive issues, neurotoxicity, and immunosuppression.

We at Global Healing Center were sad to learn that New Chapter was recently bought by the global corporate conglomerate Procter and Gamble. As a result, Global Healing Center will no longer carry New Chapter products. We cannot support a corporation we feel is detrimental to the environment and human health and we cannot be confident that the quality of New Chapter products will be maintained over the long-term.

As you may already know, Procter and Gamble sells a wide range of products that contain chemical fillers, petroleum derivatives, artificial fragrances, and known carcinogens. Some brands that P&G owns include Gillette, Duracell, Crest, IAMs dog food, Pantene, Tide laundry detergent, Pringles potato chips, Dawn dish washing soap, and Bounce dryer sheets.

There’s no shortage of controversy surrounding the use of medical marijuana. Despite the copious amount of scientifically-backed data gathered over decades, if not centuries, which show that cannabis has tremendous therapeutic potential, many lawmakers remain hesitant to approve its use. Regardless, a growing number of dedicated researchers continue to investigate new therapeutic applications for juicing or eating raw cannabis.

For some people, it still remains difficult to distinguish between the plant’s medicinal and recreational uses. This stems largely — let’s face it — from the fact that inhaling the plant’s vapors gets you high, even when that isn’t the primary reason why its being consumed.

It’s not just anti-cannabis critics who have a problem with this issue. Many of the people who consume raw cannabis with a doctor’s recommendation have no interest whatsoever in getting high. For them, the plant is a safe and natural method of relieving constant pain and constant discomfort, and it’s euphoric and thought befuddling qualities are seen as nothing more than unwanted side effects. Fortunately, research is now showing benefits from eating or juicing raw cannabis.
