"The Fourth Fundamental Element is a new perception of the role that timely and effective engagement by both business and government can play in collective action and the collaborative promotion of global sustainability. INSTITUTIONAL MISSION AND GOALS It is the mission and goal of GSU to be a key participant in the assembling and dissemination of the here cited Four Fundamental Elements in cooperation, collaboration, and coordination with individuals and organizations dedicated to the pursuit of the same and related ends. The University is dedicated to: 1." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that on the global level there are 7490 million acres of high quality cropland available, 71 percent of it in the developing world. This quantity is decreasing due to soil erosion, destructuring, compaction, impoverishment, excessive desiccation, accumulation of toxic salts, leaching of nutritious elements, and inorganic and organic pollution owing to urban and industrial wastes. In some parts of the world, this augurs major food shortages." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "Today's Macroshift is global. Humanity's societal evolution has reached the dimensions of the planet. THE PHASES OF A MACROSHIFT Macroshifts have recognizable phases. Typically there are four major phases: first an initial phase of gradual but ongoing change, then a subsequent phase of more rapid build-up. After that comes a phase of crisis and bifurcation, and ultimately a concluding phase that can be one of breakthrough to a new and more stable system or breakdown into crisis and chaos (see fig. 6). 1." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"September 2004, according to global pharma data company, IMS Health. These drugs have been shown to save lives by reducing cholesterol levels. To compete in such markets, companies need not only good candidate players (drugs), but also sufficient marketing spend." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"States to avoid cooperation and mutual accommodation, the tendency of national States (or factions within national States) to use war (and otherwise unspeakably dark-minded violence) as a method for achieving the goals of national and otherwise culturally idealized policies ..." The list could be continued; it is long and somber. As we have seen, this scenario of business as usual leads to a dead end. Other species went toward and into extinction through little or no fault of their own: the environment around them changed, or other species invaded their niche." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Those ("Human Disease and global Cooling," Scientific American, March 2005), most especially the Plague of Justinian. An ironist can therefore take some intellectual pleasure in the notion that the origins of twenty-first-century global warming may be traced back to the dust-veil caused global cooling of the mid-sixth. troops needed to be fed, and the grain tax imposed by the Romans in order to do so provided the impetus for a substantial grain trade that would, in the course of time, provide a dangerous lure for infectious disease." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The significance of this is more apparent if one considers pharma innovation as a basic global utility where, instead of water or gas or oil, ideas circulate through the pipelines. In times of drought, when these ideas, for any number of reasons, stop translating into useful drugs, companies can continue to thrive at the taxpayers' expense because very few questions are asked about what goes on in those pipelines. The longer the drought, the greater the pressure for answers, however, and the greater pharma's need for money just to stay on an even keel." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) "Pharma was expected to lose global sales of around $28 billion between 2000 and 2005 as monopoly prices vanish on patent expiry.23 The human race can survive perfectly well without an endless supply of new drugs but the corporations that produce them can't. Naturally, they start doing what most people have long suspected and what Harvard Medical School professor Arnold Rehman articulates when he says their role has changed from 'developing the drugs that society really needs to trying to extract as much money as they possibly can from the healthcare system'." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) "On 5 June 1981, the first official report of what is now a global pandemic appeared in the weekly newsletter of the US Federal Centers for Disease Control. The report stated that a rare parasitic lung infection had shown up in Los Angeles in five young men. Moreover, all the men had an inexplicably depressed immune function. This date is now known as the start of the worst plague in modern history, AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Before then, young men like Stewart Anderson had been diagnosed with what was known as Gay Syndrome, a mystery plague that mostly killed gay men." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"Each of these local disasters could be handled, but the cumulative effect on the global community could plunge the United States into an environmental abyss fueled by declining resources, including oil. According to the Pentagon report, here's what to expect: First Decade ?Severe cold and drought push Scandinavians south to Africa's shore. Disagreements with Canada and Mexico over water increases tension with the United States, driving wedges between nations, and increasing northward migration to America and Canada." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "There's going to be plenty of room for fossil fuels in the world's future and probably always will be—but we need to be prepared for the global warming challenge because how we meet this challenge will determine our future. For the life of me, I can't figure out why President Bush isn't more proactive on the environment. . . . The truth is that only God knows if greenhouse gases and vehicle emissions are changing the climate, but everybody knows that the fewer emissions there are, the better it is for the planet." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Until a decade ago it was generally thought that all large-scale global and regional climate changes occurred gradually over many centuries or millennia, scarcely perceptible during a human lifetime, say Jonathan Adams, Mark Maslin, and Ellen Thomas in the journal Progress in Physical Geography? The tendency of climate to change relatively suddenly?within decades or even a few years—has been one of the most surprising outcomes of the study of earth history, specifically the last 150,000 years, said a 1993 article in Nature." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Diarrhea is not just a major health problem in North America; it is a global issue. A large proportion of the worlds population, even in developed countries, is affected by foodborne diarrhea. Sadly, a majority of the deaths globally occur diarrhea. In the United States, each child will have had seven to 15 episodes of diarrhea by age five, and the average adult is afflicted with acute diarrhea four times a year. What Is diarrhea? Diarrhea is loose, watery stools. Typically, a person with diarrhea will pass stool more than three times a day." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Ecomagination is driven by our belief that applying technology to solving problems is great business," said Immelt. "We're launching ecomagination not because it's trendy or moral, but because it will accelerate our growth and make us more competitive." "Imagine if we discovered a new resource," GE said in its October 17, 2005, two-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal. "One that could help solve the problems of energy-hungry world. At GE, we think we've discovered just that. We call it ecomagination." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"UPDATE: Since Maurice Zeitlin's 1981 warning about the impact of monopolization and multinationalization, corporate America has indulged itself in an unparalleled merger mania and spread out on a global basis. In its annual listing of Fortune's global 500: The World's Largest Corporations, Fortune magazine reported (8/5/96) that mergers and restructuring have touched nearly every company in every industry and vaulted a number of them onto the global 500 list. It noted, "Nowhere is the trend toward globalization more apparent than in the U.S., home of the largest number of global 500 companies." - Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.)

"After 6 weeks I landed in the ER with a 12-hour episode of total global amnesia. I am more convinced than ever of a Lipitor relationship. The astronaut-physician is Duane Grave-line, MD. In response to his experience, we heard from other readers who had suffered episodes of total global amnesia while taking Lipitor, Zocor, or similar drugs. Total global amnesia is a temporary but frightening loss of memory. Dr. Graveline forgot that he was a physician and an astronaut and didn't even recognize his wife." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Being integrative means that a doctor should see the patient in a broader scope—as a person with a medical problem living in a community that produces both stress and pleasure, as a person living in an environment that could be pleasant or horrible, and as a person living in a world filled with challenges ranging from terrorism to global warming. Most of us don't think about these global problems every minute of every day, yet we hear about them every time we turn on the evening news or pick up a newspaper." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Are we all about to succumb to a global bird flu pandemic? Not likely. Bird flu is transmitted from birds to birds, not birds to people. Only in extremely rare instances have humans become infected with the bird flu, and there is no reason to believe that that will change. Should we take drugs to prevent getting the bird flu? No. If bird flu does change and become infectious to humans, the current treatments probably won't work, because the virus will have mutated and changed by that time. At last check there were no cases of bird flu in the U.S. or Europe." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "It is therefore expected to remain one of the most attractive growth areas in the global pharmaceutical market. This was not always the case, for ten years ago the market in diabetes was limited to insulin, sulfonylureas and metformin, medications that were well established, largely generic and relatively inexpensive. In contrast, the past decade has seen the introduction of a wide range of new therapies that have varied in their clinical and commercial success but have invariably been more expensive than the previously available options." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"No one today can predict with any degree of certainty how things will be in a year, or even in six months. When global stock markets can crash without warning, political walls crumble overnight, countries invade each other in a day, and ecological disasters shatter our illusions of control, we are increasingly forced to live in the present. To live with continued acceleration and all the changes it brings will take more than simply learning to manage better. It will force a complete revision of our thinking about who we are, what we really want, and what life is all about." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"At the same time Martin Huber, Roche's global head of drug safety, testified under oath in a deposition that Roche's internal assessments showed that Accutane "probably caused" depression and other psychiatric ailments in some users and that the rate of depression among Accutane users was 1.5 times higher than that among nonusers. Roche pointed out that depression is so common in the general population that you can't pick out an increased signal over background noise. On the other hand, what is the probability of developing depression solely by chance during a four-month course of treatment?" - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Moreover, a global wave of positive nutritional research has rendered the conventional viewpoint on supplementation utterly obsolete. Many thousands of published studies have shown that individual 92 nutrients at doses higher than those usually present in food have a significant preventive and therapeutic effect for serious diseases, not just nutritional deficiency states. In 2002, the standard-bearer for mainstream U.S." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"With the global dissemination of biomedicine has come a tendency for western policy-makers and institutions to regard indigenous systems of medicine throughout the world as 'alternatives' even in their countries of origin. Thomas Reardon, then-president of the American Medical Association illustrated, but also acknowledged, this perception clearly in 2000: 'Treatments that initially look 'alternative' to Western culture may be part of the medical mainstream in the originating culture." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"This initiative, like China's, is intended to attract major global players and investments, and allow ASEAN countries' products to compete internationally. In Japan, prior to April 1, 2003, cosmetics were regulated under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) by the Pharmaceutical and Safety Bureau, under the authority of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Beginning in 2003, however, cosmetics were effectively de-regulated and responsibility shifted from the ministry to industry. Abolition of the PAL has thus effectively harmonized the Japanese and U.S. markets." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "By January 2007, over 500 cosmetic and personal care product manufacturers, but none of the major corporate players, had endorsed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics' "Compact for the global Production of Safe Health and Beauty Products," pledging to eliminate hazardous ingredients and replace them with safer alternatives. Additional support for the act came from public health and labor organizations, particularly those representing nail, hairdressing, and beauty salon workers, and the Screen Actors Guild." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Organic Certification Standards Significant differences exist from country to country in organic certification standards, as well as in the consequences for noncompliance. Many global certified organic producers, regulators, and consumers are working towards an acceptable international certified organic standard, but there are huge barriers to establishing such unified standards. To begin with, the nongovernmental organizations setting the standards and forcing compliance are often supported financially by companies that resist such changes. Here are a few of the most prominent standards: U." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"As political philosophers point out, fighting transgenic engineering can be construed, at a certain point, as an act of resistance against the hegemony of global capitalism and its political supplement, liberal democracy. The story of the modern banana began in the 1870s, when a twenty-three-year-old American named Minor Keith started building a railroad network through the Costa Rican forest. He planted bananas alongside the railways, not realizing that the seedlings would one day grow into an empire of fruits." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Of course, these side effects only exist in the imagination of the pharmaceutical interest groups and on the drawing boards of their global pr-machinery. Vitamins, minerals and amino acids are the building blocks of life and the body can eliminate any surplus of them without any problems.24 Much of the Codex agenda with regards to natural health supplements is now law in parts of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Codex dietary supplement rules are in effect in Norway and Germany." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
