 "Understanding Trade
Your Chinese clock radio sounds, waking you up with news from the bbc, and you slip out of your Egyptian cotton sheets and into the shower. You dry off and put on underwear from El Salvador, jeans from Lesotho, and your favorite blue shirt from Sri Lanka. A cup of Tanzanian coffee, some Brazilian orange juice, and you're off to work in your Japanese car—assembled in Kentucky, powered by gasoline from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Russia. Good morning!"- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "Television programmes like the BBC's Top Gear equate speed with virility and driving with freedom, cultural messages which are relentlessly reinforced by screen and billboard advertising.
It seems clear to me that no amount of barracking from bearded hippie environmentalists will persuade society at large that the consumer treadmill is not the quickest route to health and happiness. Most of my neighbours still shop in supermarkets, even though they have to drive to them in cars and are depriving local shopkeepers from making a living in the process."- Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |
 "I remember being fascinated by an episode of the bbc television series The Private Life of Plants that showed a speeded-up film of the growth of the roots of a large tree. David Attenborough commented that it appeared that the roots were moving consciously, feeling and plotting their way through the undergrowth much like large tentacles or fingers. Of course this 'movement' is somewhat of an illusion, as what is being portrayed is the speeded-up record of the growth of the roots, at the tips of which fresh plant cells are being continuously formed."- Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) |
 "He now works for the bbc as a director of documentaries. He is between schedules and he can take a week off.
Oxford is often criticised for being a university for the elite. All of us who work there have examples of the opposite.
James Marsh came for our entrance interviews while living in a squat in South London. He was eighteen, working-class and estranged from his father; his mother was dead.
It is characteristic of him that he did not mention his circumstances at the time."- Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.) "If a bbc professional is unfamiliar with these terms, what hope is there for the general public? Back to Barlogie. The intellectual kernel of the transcript is the following passage: Barlogie: Myeloma cancer cells are already resistant. Otherwise one could achieve a complete remission and cure with very simple chemotherapy. Even with transplantation [of bone marrow] when used up front, one does not achieve an 80 per cent complete remission rate. One achieves maybe a 50 per cent complete remission rate." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.) "She gives lectures to universities in the UK and the States and, at present, she is preparing a number of broadcasts for the bbc. May Oxford term starts and our weeks are full of lessons, lectures and the business of University life. At the end of the month I catch a chill. Nothing to it, we think: I was gardening for too long in the rain. But after a day in bed I wake up wet as if I were swimming. I take off the sheets and wrap myself in towels. Two hours later, wet again. Rachel hates doctors—her own tells her to stop smoking and to drink less whisky—but she insists that I take advice." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.) |
 "While admitting this, he stopped short of informing bbc viewers that there is no scientific evidence that any of the millions of children so diagnosed have any physical abnormality that justifies the diagnosis. Nor that because of this, psychiatrists cannot agree on who is sick and who is well. Yet despite this fallible "science," worldwide sales of psychotropic drugs prescribed to treat "mental disorders," including stimulants antipsychotics and antidepressants, now exceed $80 billion annually."- Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
| "Dennis is a regular UK broadcaster on bbc GMR, Radio Merseyside and Radio Lancashire. He has a very busy pharmacy practice in Prestwich and is in great demand throughout the UK and Ireland as a speaker on health issues.
When did you first come across the Serrapeptase?
"I basically met Serrapeptase in about March 2002, as a result of the publicity surrounding the good results people were getting, and the fact that it was available on prescription from doctors in Germany and other European countries." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) |
 "Lyall Watson, Botanist, Zoologist, Biologist, Anthropologist, Ethologist Author & bbc Producer, South Africa Decade: 1950s
Study: In his book Lifetide, Watson reported a Japanese study of monkeys who were learning a new behavior on one island. Thereafter, monkeys on an entirely different island began to practice the same behavior with no visible or logical means of communication. The research gave rise to what Watson termed the "Hundredth Monkey Principle" that says that after a certain number of species learn a behavior it somehow becomes accessible to others who are totally unconnected."- Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) |
 "The old man was one of Britain's last living relics of the Great War, whose thoughts were recorded on a bbc special in 2005 while he still had wit to express them. After four score and 10 years you'd expect the man would have had time to think; to wonder about what it was he had been a part of, why he had done it, and what good it had done. In a single day on the Somme, 20,000 of his comrades were killed in an eight-hour period. You'd think he might have focused his mind on a thing like that.
But his thoughts made no more sense than the Great War itself."- William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) |
 "For 20 years she was the presenter of the BBC's Tomorrow's World, then a presenter of the Watchdog programme, (cont.) about the advantages of HRT to the 60-year anniversary of the making of Premarin. Suddenly, all the advantages gained by women over the past century in the developed world were credited to mares' urine.
This drivel history is even less credible than the medical history that maintains that immunisation is the sole cause of disease eradication."- Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.) "RED's other clients included Ladbrokes and Batchelors Foods, Kelloggs, Lever Brothers, McDonald's, Novartis UK, Johnson & Johnson, Aventis Pharma and the bbc. At the same time as Incepta acquired RED, it also bought up Broad Street, a small New York company." - Martin J.

| "This man said he had heard me on the bbc radio program talking about the studies, saying that it had helped to maintain the airways of people with breathing problems by helping to break down the damaged tissue that had built up over their lifetime, whether due to smoking or things like working with chemicals. He told me he was on sprays, on oxygen, and on antibiotics every two weeks, as he was always getting bad infections, and breathlessly, he told me he wanted to try Serrapeptase. To begin with, he took two 20,000iu tablets on an empty stomach, four times per day." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) |
| "In an interview with bbc online news, he made light of all the cited side effects.46 He said: T see women, perhaps two a month, who come to me complaining of hair loss who have never taken HRT. Indeed, they are asking me to give them HRT to try to make their hair better.' He added: T do not know of any evidence that oestrogens impair the ability to walk (a reference to dizziness produced by oestrogen overdose), otherwise girls going through puberty would suddenly start falling sideways." - Martin J.

 "When it came on the market, it was immediately awarded the bbc Designer Prize.
Most of the time, however, hemp products and the smoking blends prepared from them are smoked in the form of a self-rolled cigarette, a so-called joint (called also spliff, doobie, reefer, number, etc.). A joint is made using either the same commercial rolling papers that are used to roll cigarettes or special commercial rolling papers that differ from normal rolling papers principally in that they are larger."- Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) |
 "I remember one startling occasion when it happened while I was watching TV. The bbc, I remember, apologized for the "technical hitch". These are naturally dismissed as quirks of the ionosphere that somehow result in distant channels breaking into the local broadcast (the UFO people, predictably, think it's aliens trying to make contact from craft hovering near the Earth).
Probably intrusive transmissions do happen. But I believe that many instances of genuine communication are being lost because nobody is thinking along EVP lines."- Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) |
 "The bbc news reports that eating apples wards off colon cancer, and apples prevent and can cure cancer.
• The Associated Press reports that walking keeps weight in check.
• Reuters reports that people who sleep less tend to be fat, showing the benefits of getting proper rest.
• ABC News reports that relaxation techniques lower blood pressure.
• Yahoo News reported that herbs help ease children's illnesses, such as colds, skin allergies, and sleep problems. It also reported that the herbs worked better than drugs and had no side effects."- Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) |
 "Napalm was dropped, and a bbc journalist described the result:
In front of us a curious figure was standing, a little crouched, legs straddled, arms held out from his sides. He had no eyes, and the whole of his body, nearly all of which was visible through tatters of burnt rags, was covered with a hard black crust speckled with yellow pus. ... He had to stand because he was no longer covered with a skin, but with a crust-like crackling which broke easily. ..."- Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) |

 "It was only the opening salvo of a barrage of wildly exaggerated reports that would hit the world's media, most of them relying on panicked private physicians for their information. The bbc, which is hugely popular in India, echoed these reports, saying on September 22 that a mysterious deadly fever had broken out in Surat.
The exodus began.
Within twelve hours of the bbc broadcast an estimated 100,000 Suratis boarded trains headed in every imaginable direction across the Indian subcontinent."- Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) |
| "Genes are always involved in every living process, but nothing is fixed in life. A bbc program of July 17, 2002, pointed out that with nine children per day being diagnosed as autistic, a genetic explanation becomes absurd. Epidemics are always, and by definition, environmentally mediated events. Conversely, genes are not only vulnerable to toxic insult, but also respond to curative intervention. Nothing is fixed in nature and that is the message of hope.

| "Personal computers were only just appearing in 1984 and, as a school teacher, Webster had borrowed a primitive bbc 'B' computer from school. These machines had around 32k of memory, a word processor on an installed chip and the only means of saving files was to a floppy disk on an external drive. No networking, no modem, definitely no Internet.
One evening, the computer was accidentally left on and when Webster and his girlfriend Debbie returned there was a 'message', a poem of sorts. It was treated as a joke of course, but saved to disk anyway." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) |
| "One of the most terrible reports came out of England through the bbc. The incident took place in March of 2000 and is being heard by Horsham Magistrates Court. A mother, Stacey Passmore, cooked Sasha, the family cat, in a microwave and tipped its lifeless body out of the window. Shocked at her own actions she claims she lost her temper after a flea from the feline bit her on the leg while she was under the influence of Prozac and had drunk seven cans of lager and almost two bottles of wine. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1399000/1399083." - Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D., Prozac: Panacea or Pandora?

The potential scope of health problems from chemical exposures can be immense as demonstrated earlier. In Chapter 1, the symptoms and common causes of sensitivities to numerous chemicals were discussed.

 "The fight went as far as the British Broadcasting Standards Commission, which in 2000 heard a complaint by Hancock and Bauval against alleged editing prejudice of a bbc Horizon program that challenged their theories. The commission granted that the bbc had erred in one section of its program, but rejected other complaints. The documentary was subsequently reedited and rebroadcast.9
Hancock and Bauval continue to publish new works on related matters, while research on the downfall of ancient civilizations remains embroiled in controversy."- Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.) |

 "Liz Hillman Executive Producer for the bbc indicated the interview was "very thought provoking" and said the documentary will soon be aired on the bbc network. Hillman said the working title of the documentary for which Mr. Graves was interviewed is called "Conspiracies."
"Conspiracies are based on theories, the evidence is based on fact" according to one supporter of Graves'. Supporters close to the case worry the urgency and worldwide importance of this issue may be trivialized by the 'conspiracy genre'."- Boyd E.
