GMO'S, Carcinogenic Chemicals, And The World Health Organization: Author And Advocate Jennifer Lang Issues Statement

The World Health Organization has declared that one of the most used chemical herbicides, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic”.  Author and advocate Jennifer Lang believes it's time to take a stand

The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post and Fox News all carried stories about carcinogenic herbicides such as glyphosate recently.  Tracy Loew, in an article on the USA Today web site, stated that a report published by Lancet Oncology stated glyphosate is likely carcinogenic. Their report came from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization.

"We are past the time for action," Lang stated. "We have to insist on transparency and accountability. The lives of the next generation are at risk and business as usual is no longer acceptable. We are truly insane if we expect to keep using the same pesticides, eating the same GMO foods and expecting a different result. Healthy alkaline bodies will not be achieved this way."

Jennifer is an GMO activist, musician and author of 'The Whistle Blower's Confession." Jennifer had both feet firmly on the music path when tragedy intervened and her mother became very ill. Jennifer’s motto is never give up and, as she faced her mother’s illness and taking care of her, she couldn’t just stop there. As she became a caregiver, the keen curiosity and investigative inclinations that served her in college as a political science major helped her uncover that many of the issues her mother suffered from could be traced back to GMO’s. And that’s when the seeds of her book "The Whistle Blower’s Confession" were planted. The book has been called "The Pelican Brief meets Silkwood with a GMO twist".

In this psychological thriller, Kelly Anderson, an investigative reporter, who after the death of her aunt to cancer, uncovers and wages war against a biotech company and US government plot to systematically change the DNA of the American people through the country’s food supply for corporate gain, power and control. It may read like a movie, but the story behind the book is shockingly true. Just like her protagonist, Lang set out to investigate what was causing her mother’s chronic illness, only to discover that it was the Genetically-Modified Organisms being snuck into her food. 'The Whistle Blower's Confession' is Jennifer's attempt to expose the travesty to the nation, proving that each and every American has become part of an involuntary feeding study that is killing people at alarming rates. 'The Whistle Blower's Confession’ has received rave reviews from readers and has garnered a  Readers' Favorite award of 5 Stars..

"Genetically modified foods have infiltrated about 90% of US crops," stated Jennifer. "Almost all corn, soy, sugar beets and cotton in the world are genetically modified. These foods also happen to be some of the most widely used foods in food production. They can be camouflaged in soda, juice, breakfast cereal, canned meats, bacon and even milk. Genetically modifying food is not the same as naturally breeding plants. The lab based technique is uncontrolled and has been proven to damage the plant’s genetic make up. This leads to mutations, alterations to a plants nutritional value, poor crop performance, unforeseen harm to the environment and people enduring toxic and allergenic effects."

"Since the proliferation of GMO crops, there has actually been an increase in herbicide and pesticide use. Since nature adapts, plants become resistant to these herbicides and pesticides and therefore an increased use of stronger chemicals is needed. This explains why the allowed limit for chemicals such as glyphosate in crops has increased over the years.  The truth is that these types of chemicals actually kill nutrients and organisms in the soil in which it is used. These nutrients and organisms are key in natural biodiversity and preventing plant disease. This has had a serious impact on our wildlife and non-pest insect populations."

'The Whistle Blower's Confession' is available at Amazon and other online book retailers.  More information is available at Lang's website at http://www.TheWBConfession.com.

Authors Sharan Kumar Arunachalam And Gary Corcoran Release Suspense Novel, 'The Slow Train To Rishikesh'

With hints of Kipling and ancient Hindustan as a backdrop, 'The Slow Train to Rishikesh' is a riveting tale of love and greed, set against the corruption of modern day India

Sharan Kumar Arunachalam and Gary Corcoran have announced the recent release of 'The Slow Train To Rishikesh', a spellbinding novel set in modern day India.

When Hiresh, a thirty-something investigator for the Central Bureau of Investigation is ordered to abandon his vacation in Rishikesh and go investigate a minor poisoning incident in the city of Indore, he soon finds this minor incident has blown up into a full scale catastrophe, with shoddily run factories, hundreds of people dead from pesticide poisoning and corporate malfeasance everywhere he turns. As Hiresh has seen hundreds of times before, unchecked capitalism and systematic payoffs have combined with greed and negligence to place profits above the well-being of everyday citizens. Worse still, Hiresh’s investigation quickly leads him to a shocking conclusion. This poisoning incident appears to have been the result of a deliberate act. But why? And by whom? Hinted at but never fully revealed until later in the story, Hiresh has a dark secret in his past, a history that leads him inexorably back to just this sort of industrial accident.

"The Slow Train To Rishikesh", Corcoran stated, "is a mesmerizing journey through the underbelly of Indian society, where deals are struck to save reputations, the public is deluded by a false sense of justice and the next industrial disaster is always waiting to happen around the next corner. Yet this book is really dedicated to people like Hiresh and his accidental British partner from Human Rights Watch, Chelsea, who together go on fighting the good fight, despite a deck seemingly stacked high against them."

Gary Corcoran is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at info@freepublicitygroup.com. 'The Slow Train To Rishikesh' is available at Amazon. More information is available at Corcoran's website at http://www.garypaulcorcoran.com.

About The Authors:

Born in Chennai, southern India and to a prosperous merchant family, Sharan Kumar initially pursued a career in fashion design but soon realized his real passion was in film making. This led to several years in college and a stint at New York Film Academy, after which he returned to India, where he now works as a screenwriter in the film industry. In need of an English speaking author to assist him with turning his ideas for The Slow Train to Rishikesh into prose, Mr. Kumar hired Mr. Corcoran as his collaborator.

The product of an Irish/Italian family, the ‘60s folk music/coffee house scene and a survivor of the psychedelic journey that concluded that decade, Mr. Corcoran was transplanted from New England to the cookie cutter, stucco subdivisions south of LA in his youth and has been writing about that unexpected journey for many years. The author of numerous books, Mr. Corcoran currently resides in Laguna Beach, California and travels frequently to the solitude of Baja California for inspiration.

Mr. Kumar and Mr. Corcoran wrote this novel out of a shared passion for justice, economic fairness and a sustainable future. Mr. Kumar was inspired to write this book while rusticating at his father’s black pepper and cherry robusta coffee farm outside of Kerala. Mr. Corcoran was drawn in by the opportunity to bring India’s ancient but rapidly modernizing culture to life.

Clement Binnings Jr., Award Winning Virginia Author Of 'Angel Through The Storms', Now Appearing On The Authors Show

Binnings will appear on The Authors Show through February 3, 2013. He will discuss his latest novel, 'Angel Through The Storms: A Love Story'. The show is airing currently at The Authors Show site. Angel Through The Storms was one of two finalists in the 2012 Indie Excellence Book Awards for Visionary Fiction

Don McCauley interviewed award-winning author Clement Binnings Jr. recently for a segment of The Authors Show. Binnings is the author of 'Angel Through The Storms: A Love Story'.  Angel Through The Storms was one of two finalists in the 2012 Indie Excellence Book Awards for Visionary Fiction.

Clement Binnings is a family physician practicing in Salem, Virginia and serves Primary Care Associates as its Vice President. As a writer, Binnings attempts to reveal the light of Spirit, acting in the darkness of the world.

"As a novelist," Binnings stated, "I’ve chosen to depict sanity, in all its glory, entwined in the dark drama that our insanity perpetuates in the world."

'Angel Through The Storms' brings a healing angel to the loveless realities of child abuse and molestation, to the psychological pathologies these atrocities create, and to the abandoned refugees suffering on the sweltering streets of New Orleans during the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The novel generates great suspense and insight through the actions and interactions of compelling characters moving through their environmental, physical, psychological and spiritual storms. It sends a powerful message – that storms contain the power to catalyze spiritual transformation; the worse the storm, the greater its potential to invoke change.

'Angel Through The Storms' took a Reader's Favorite Bronze Award in Southern Fiction and was a finalist in USA Best Book Awards in both New Age Fiction and Visionary Fiction. The book was one of two finalists in the Indie Excellence Books Awards for Visionary Fiction.

"Readers," Binnings continued, "will enjoy this book because they will experience the storms of its characters, characters they will love or hate, and will grow with them.  They will be introduced to an untainted soul in the form of a child and see his vision contrasted with the limits of human vision.  They will see the effects of child and spousal abuse inflicted by family and clergy upon the innocent and will come to understand PTSD as an instigator of panic disorder and dissociation.  They will entertain questions about reincarnation, divine potential, guilt, redemption and forgiveness.  They may even contemplate what is real – the inner or outer realms of life experience?  This novel truly is ‘A Love Story,’ in that it emphasizes the ultimate power of Love to heal.”

Binnings will appear for a book signing at Barnes and Noble in Roanoke, VA at Valley View Mall from 1 to 4pm on Saturday, June 16th, 2012. His interview with The Authors Show will run at the show site through February 3, 2013.

Clement Binnings Jr. is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cbinnings@cox.net. More information is available at his website. 'Angel Through The Storms' is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and at his website.
