Cherries and Fungicides
Once again we in Young are to greet our Annual Cherry
Festival, 2015. The town is full of
backpackers of every colourful nationality,
cherrypickers, cherrypackers.
Last year on ABC Radio National there were interviews with
young foreigners working in the Orchards.
It featured a certain orchard near Wombat. The owner described how the cherries enter
the packing shed – and are first dunked in fungicide.
Alarm bells rang in my mind!
I have read far too much about Hormone Disrupting Chemicals. They endanger not only this generation, but
the next and the next! All the people
involved in cherry packing, sale, even unto the customer eating delicious
cherries, are in invisible danger.
On page 83 of “Our Stolen Future”, published 1996, Dr Theo Colborne writes about Earl Gray, a
reproductive toxicologist, who studied a male rat who looked like a
female. Pink nipples. The male’s sexual development went awry
because its mother was exposed during pregnancy to vinclozolin, a synthetic
chemical that is widely used to kill fungus on fruit. Vinclozolin disrupts by targeting the androgen receptor which is
tuned to the male hormone testosterone, rather than an estrogen receptor. It blocks the receptor and stops the
testosterone message. The foetus at the
7th week does not become a boy;
it does not grow testicles: it
becomes an intersex. Other fungicides eg
the pyrimidine carbinol group inhibit the body’s ability to make steroid
hormones. Fungi are stopped growing by
inhibiting the synthesis of sterols which are needed to make cell walls. Humans and other mammals form steroid
hormones from….cholesterol. Reproductive
development is damaged by these fungicides.
I wonder how many of our
Supermarkets might spray fruit and veg with fungicides? Even diluted, 20 parts per trillion, effects “are
not inconsequential”.
This book, pages 122
to 141, describes scientists’ experiments.
One story with test tube cultures of human breast cancer cells. Tufts Medical School Boston. One day the cells started to multiply like
crazy! It took 2 years to identify the cause. p-Nonylphenol. Estrogen mimic. Test tube manufacturer Corning had changed
the recipe for the resin in the plastic without telling anyone. Same catalogue number. So.
What kinds of chemicals are in the plastics we use every day?
Work at Stanford University School of Medicine research, on
estrogen sensitive cells, found a contaminant in the plastic flasks. BPA active even at 4 to 5 parts per million. 1993 paper.
BPA is in the black ink on our receipts at the supermarket
checkout and elsewhere. A girl at IGA
told me she cleans her hands many times a day with Wet Ones. But I have information that this makes it
easier for the BPA to dissolve and soak into the skin! Some plastics are labelled BPA free, but it
seems that the substitute chemical they use might be worse than the BPA…..
Scientists issued the Wingspread Statement at the Wingspread
Conference Centre, July 1991, in Racine, Wisconsin. “This was an urgent warning….…we face the
danger of widespread disruption to human embryonic development and the prospect
of damage that will last a lifetime.” See page170,
and Appendix. You may find more
info online and even on YouTube.
All these years later, and we are not made aware.
I mentioned about the cherries at a CWA meeting. I was told they only put fungicide on
overseas shipments. Oh, so that is OK……
You know, there is a better way. Dunk the cherries (or all fruits) in a mild
vinegar wash (with a good splash of vinegar). Kills fungi. Extends the user life. And it might wash off some pesticides and
those unhealthy waxes.

The Ringing Cedars of Russia, Book 8 part 2, Chapter Seventeen, The Vedruss Birth.
Page 185…
"The Vedruss people understood that even in the womb the
child could sense relatives’ thoughts and feelings. And after coming into the world, he would
continue to find himself in his parents’ aura.
If some outsiders, even a relative with good thoughts about the child,
happened on the birthing room, their feelings – even good ones- would be
unfamiliar to the child, and put him on the defensive.
Page186, 7, 8 …
…. Now what possible connection could there be between the
culture of prenatal education, and breast-feeding of children - and wars? A most direct connection, indeed!
Many still remember the account of the Russian serial killer
Chikatilo. (* ….was convicted of murdering 52 women (mainly
prostitutes) and children between 1978 and 1990). He performed sadistic acts on young women and
then killed them. Such maniacs have
appeared in many other cities, terrorising the populace. Each time hundreds of police are despatched
to hunt down and capture the killer.
But an interesting pattern emerges from this. It has been established that in the case of
three Rostov maniacs, at least, their mothers had all made unsuccessful
attempts to abort their foetuses in the womb.
As a result, when the foetus was born and grew into manhood, it then
began taking revenge against women.
Now tell me which is more important for high school
graduates: to get high marks in physics,
chemistry and a foreign language, or to acquire a high knowledge of the culture
of the conception, carrying and raising of a child?
I would say that the latter is by far more important. And yet the disciplines which present such knowledge
are not even taught in the school curriculum.
Hence there are graduates of schools, colleges and universities who give
birth to children which they have conceived haphazardly. They often reflect on whether to give birth
at all, or perhaps an abortion would be better?
They may end up giving birth, only what kind of babies are
they giving birth to? The kind that not
only should not be exposed to the achievements of physicists and chemists, but
should be kept as far away as possible from knives and sticks.
The birth of advanced spiritual thinkers is especially
important in this age of scientific and technological progress.
It is a tragedy when a maniac like Chikatilo kills and
tortures women. It is a blessing that
nobody like him is sitting at the controls of nuclear missiles.
A blessing- a blessing, okay – but the caveat must be
added: for now. The worst will happen if society does not
change its attitude toward the culture of giving birth to Man. "

Next = From Dr Michel Odent's "The Farmer and the Obstetrician".
"He wondered why humans fail to realise that they are parts of nature.....conclusion that it is the emotional desert in man which creates the desert in nature, referring to the huge capacity humans have to unhesitatingly destroy life.
p 80. Homo superpredator = unable to love.
He understood that at the root of this widespread "emotional desert" is the damage we do to newborn babies.
......suggests we should be wondering about the future of our civilisation...culture and beliefs...old order was aggression and survival.
p 60. When researchers explore the background of people who have expressed some sort of impaired capacity to love - either love of oneself or other - they always detect risk factors at birth ......(leading to) delinquency, suicide, drug addiction, autism......
It was found that when ewes give birth with epidural anaesthesia they do not take care of their lambs.
From his point of view civiilsation will start when the wellbeing of newborn babies will prevail over any other consideration.
Promotes: That "industrialised childbirth" be transformed to "biodynamic childbirth".
(And by extension - industrialised agriculture to biodynamic agriculture.)
