Comments on How Safe is Your Animal From GMOs?

I buy a lot of my food from the marked down section of the supermarket, I buy my dogs reduced priced chicken and meat also. I cook it up a little and mix it with Wysong dry.
I am a vegetarian, except for an occasional tuna sub.
I hope this is good enough, I can't always afford organic, I don't want to think about GMO right now. There are only so many things I can worry about.

Awesome article also timely! Just purchased ABC's GRP supplement for my horses. With all that Roundup being used in hay fields, corn fields and not to mention what is in the air this product may be a step in the right direction.

Well done, Dr. Falconer!
I am very much in awe of the amount of time and clear-headed research you did for this piece and admire how you were able to present some sticky and sickly information.
I will say that my horses eat a type of non-GMO Beet Pulp called Speedi-Beet from the UK, but one bag of that is equivalent to 3 bags of regular GMO variety here. (Order from www.countrysideorganics.com) The cost is about the same as 3 bags of GMO laden US sourced beet pulp. Non-GMO alfalfa-hard to find unless I use Chaffhaye (www.chaffhaye.com) or buy hay cubes that are COMBINED WITH OTHER GRASSES-like alfalfa with timothy or alfalfa with oat hay. When you combine alfalfa with another grass, I've been told that the other grass will not survive if planted with the GMO crop (here, alfalfa). So the combination hay cubes are theoretically safe.
But for my dogs, Loma as you know, provoked the question "Does feeding commercially farmed animals who ate GMO feed affect the health of a dog?" And I wrote to you stating my observations of the numerous sebaceous cysts since getting dog food meat at the grocery store instead of locally raised sources, in the last THREE MONTHS.
IN a week, I drastically cut her commercial meat consumption. I'd say she's getting maybe 25% still in the form of chicken necks that I cannot yet find locally. I found locally raised grass fed beef to do a trial.
IN ONE WEEK: The number of cysts have reduced by half-no supplements, remedies, etc. PURELY decreasing her exposure to GMO fed meat sources.
You mentioned in your article that children improved quickly once GMOs were removed....I venture to say that it is the same with animals.
I plan to add healthy grains/veggies to her diet from SOJOS (the only way I can think of to reduce the overall meat content, completely remove GMOs from her diet, and still afford grass fed meat). I am thankful dogs are in the omnivore category because this would be cost-prohibitive to feed a non-GMO diet in the form of BARF or Prey-Animal model.
What I am really amazed about is the thought of I myself being very careful about what I eat and not supporting commercial animal raising. Yet, to afford to feed two active 50 pound dogs on a meat-based diet, homemade, raw, etc, breaks my bank. AND, I am supporting cruel farming methods...AND I am supporting GMO farming!
SO to consider the BIG PICTURE here, not to support BigPharma, GMO, cruel animal rearing, and after re-reading what Dr. Pitcairn stated about feeding less meats since they are considered heavy in pollutants etc, I feel better about my decision.
I am eager to watch her full healing once the poisons are removed. Whatever I can do to reduce exposure to those toxins, I will do. Now that I see her body is healing SO FAST, I'd be crazy not to take the hint.
I thank my dog, Loma for showing me the impact GMOs have had on her body and I thank her for being the canary in the coal mine. She's just raised many red-flags for my own pack, herd, and myself as well as all of my consulting clients.
I am being reminded to see the WHOLE, and not to get too caught up in one method of feeding dogs. They are adaptable creatures and thrive with CLEAN FOOD.
Thank you Dr. Falconer for the courage to write about such a hot topic.

Will - I truly appreciate this information - thanks for doing the research. Very timely – as I was getting ready to write a short article, as my clients having gastric, health complications, thought to from GMO products. – However your in depth research much better….
GMO products are NOT foods – Food is nourishment, necessary for life – it doesn’t kill things…
As a Classical Homoeopath -- I began researching GMO's - as parents totally too busy in life to check quality of foods they serve. Frequently young children have stomach conditions as an allergic trait, inherited reaching to miasmatic layers - then have consider another causation – vaccinations. Today - have to recheck sources of foods. In the past there wasn't this need for Family Food Detective work.
As you noticed - rural India – family food close at hand, with few varieties, choices, simple food – fresh (no refrigeration) - isn’t processed, packaged, shipped long distances needing preservatives, coloration, waxing, fumigation, etc.
Some in N. America, had noticed their own and family’s health was affected by certain products - checked sources, and stop eating products with GMO’s.
I will be pleased to share this with Classical Homoeopaths around the world

Much appreciated!! Your information has clarified some things for me and I'm getting that app right now!
