HEALTH CANADA’S recipe for Rx food preparations.

By: Christopher-Peter: Maingot

HEALTH CANADA…also traded as the GOVERNMENT of CANADA, has put forth somewhat of another novel idea; but as in the past however, they continuing to embrace the tendency, to simply follow in the footsteps of others.

Perhaps their mentalities, and or mandates, are orchestrated, in an effort to keep stride with the new world order, or the global governance AGENDA…fulfilling a commitment…one which is perhaps owed to the various administrations, agencies, organizations, or the councils, and their foreign relations.

HEALTH CANADA’S “bureau of chemical safety” has wasted no time, it seems, in completing what has been deemed a “detailed safety assessment.” This time, they’re completely satisfied with all risks associated with this particular idea; mass dosing of the public with a controversial enzyme…they are proceeding with their plans to add this substance/drug into your food…giving you the opportunity to comment on their idea, was merely meant to remove your remedy…caveat emptor.

The enzyme in question is otherwise known as Asparaginase and, it is the active or main ingredient in a cancer therapy drug, used in the treatment of lymphocytic leukemia.

Asparaginase is a drug…having distinct associations with serious safety issues, and rightly so…it’s classified as a High Alert Medication.

The very first bit of information on the drug’s information sheet, reads as follows; WARNINGS: It is recommended that asparaginase be administered to patients only in a hospital setting, under the supervision of a physician who is qualified by training and, experienced to administer cancer chemotherapeutic agents, because of the possibility of severe reactions, including anaphylaxis and sudden death.

Albeit the serious contraindications associated with this drug, and given the particular sources of some of these red flags, viz The Institute for Safe Medication Practices; HEALTH CANADA’S scientists have already concluded that there are no health or safety concerns associated with the use of asparaginase. So therefore, “the Department” has already gone ahead and initiated the regulatory process to amend Division 16 of the Food and Drug Regulations.

What seems the norm, or a mundane practice every Monday morning now, is “fast- tracking.”

With this particular scenario, it was initiated after HEALTH CANADA was “petitioned,” and from a source that may yet, still be unknown to the public.

The “petitioner,” has in essence, requested that amendments be made to the CANADA Food and Drug Regulations Act, so that the drug, Asparaginase, can be added to the already mega list. And, this will be accomplished under a different guise, where it’s planned to be marketed as a food additive…still being a drug, never the less.

This cancer therapy drug, which HEALTH CANADA already has plans to sanction, is then to be sprinkled on your French fries and chips, and included in other food products as well.

Hauntingly, this too (asparaginase) may be manufactured and, supplied by the very same Pharmaceutical Corporation, that purportedly gave us AIDS and SV40…the latter being a monkey virus, long known to have contaminated vaccines and, which is the actual cause of cancers.

One thing’s for sure: this government-sponsored act of drugging what you eat, will surely provide for a new definition of the term Junk food.

Incidentally, there have already been the influences of a CORPORATE type. They have provided for the inclusion into the recipe, of this drug, now added to many food products currently manufactured, in several G/Countries. And, the plan is to include the use of this drug in the manufacturing of food products in Canada too.

Some of the common food products, to include the prescription recipes, will include wheat dough-based products; such as bread, crackers and cookies. Also, cut potato products; such as French fries, sliced potato products and, fabricated potato chips…the typical diet of many low and middle-income classes of earthlings.

CANADA makes note: Asparaginase is already in use in food manufacturing, in other countries, such as: the U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark (the usual suspects). And, it has already been given favourable evaluations by the Joint United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) along with the World Health Organization–Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).

Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC): this national industry (GROUP) association in Canada represents the food and consumer products industry. The group’s senior vice-president, Derek Nighbor, has already encouraged the GOVERNMENT of CANADA to move swiftly, as other modern countries in the world have.

This entire situation is merely another example of “New Drugs – Fast Tracked” through the otherwise bureaucratic system…usually perceived as involving extensive, and or in-depth analysis, which includes rigorously monitored clinical testing.

For many, this very scenario is already too familiar, and one that owes its dubious notoriety to commendable reporting…after all, industry journals have already had their say. So perhaps there really does exist, this so-called conspiratorial relationship between CORPORATIONS and GOVERNMENTS otherwise referred to as Corporatocracy.

And, it seems that CANADA is ready once again, to sign us away on their dotted lines; especially under the influence of the recommenders and evaluators…in other words…the deal has already been given the good house keeping, seal of approval.

These accusations, which abound, are quite relative to the financial support, and their obvious influences on government.

Incentives to approve new drugs are usually offered by the pharmaceutical industry. And, their motivating factors are driven by their copious gift giving…geared especially toward political campaign contributions. There are more pharmaceutical lobbyists (largest) in Washington, DC, than there are members of Congress.

So…why do the powers that be wish to add asparaginase into many of our food products?

Well, its due to some research, suggesting that asparaginase will reduce acrylamide production…acrylamide is thought to be a by-product of cooking at high temperatures, and for long periods of time.

Acrylamide is known to cause cancer in animals and, perhaps of equal or more significance: certain doses of chemical contaminants are toxic to the nervous system, of both animals and, humans.

Acrylamide is a chemical, that’s used to make other chemicals, such as polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is typically used in the treatment of drinking water, and wastewater, where it is used to remove particles and other impurities.

For many of us, we have grown virtually accustomed to accessing information at the speed of light. And, this may or may not be such a good thing, especially where self-induced stress might be a factor.

While doing research on this subject, I came across this interesting report, issued by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), and titled: Over 300 Pollutants in U.S. Tap Water.

Now, this is where the concerns about stress comes into play…clicking on the tab labeled “Chemical Contaminants” on the EWG website, via the above link, simply served to stress me out…why…because I could not find Acrylamide, nor Polyacrylamide. It was neither listed as a pollutant, or a contaminant in the tap water studied…how strange?

Getting back to the deal of spiking your junk with pharmaceutical grade drugs, and the downer it will prove to be.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: in some instances, fatality has been reported following asparaginase administration. Asparaginase is also contraindicated in patients who have had previous anaphylactic reactions to it.

WARNINGS: Allergic reactions to asparaginase are frequent…they are not completely predictable on the basis of the intradermal skin test (exercise caution while eating your French fries and chips, especially when using your fingers). Anaphylaxis and death have occurred even in a hospital setting, and with experienced observers. In view of the unpredictability of the adverse reactions to asparaginase, it is recommended that this product be used in a hospital setting…is this why we often see fast food franchises located within hospitals now?

Asparaginase has an adverse effect on liver function in the majority of patients. Therapy with asparaginase may increase pre-existing liver impairment, caused by prior therapy or the underlying disease. Because of this, there is a possibility that asparaginase may increase the toxicity of other medications.

PRECAUTIONS: Asparaginase has been reported to have immunosuppressive activity in animal experiments. Asparaginase toxicity is reported to be greater in adults than in pediatrics. There are no adequate studies on the effects of asparaginase on fertility.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, and fast food manager about any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, especially aspirin, methotrexate (Rheumatrex, MTX), and vitamins…vitamins?

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, and fast food manager if you have, or ever had liver, kidney, or pancreatic diseases.

You should know that asparaginase may interfere with the normal menstrual cycle in women, and may stop sperm production in men.

Women, who are pregnant or breast-feeding, should tell their doctors, and fast food managers, before they begin taking this drug. Asparaginase may harm the fetus.

Do not have any vaccinations (e.g., Seasonal or, A/H1N1-Swine Flu shots) without talking to your doctor, and or fast food manager.
