experts say to give member state may break up triggering a domino effect immediately. coming up next a special report for you about profiteers in the u.s. medical drugs market the program where the human health is being sacrificed for big bucks. in two thousand and two the top ten drug companies in america made more profits than four hundred ninety of america's wealthiest companies combined helping raise profits are cancer drugs which in two thousand and five alone rose nearly sixteen percent compared to three percent for other prescriptions. today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget and research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and in ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in
2:32 pm
washington d.c. and members of congress. food and drugs act in the united states and in food and drugs act and canada are not being a god. this is a very serious problem this is been the fight that i have fought for now for the last twenty years in canada and together with my colleagues and my union and a lot of other people and as a result a breeze through a farce alchemically were fired by health canada for years they took to build up this case and ultimately failed us and saying we should pass everything that america busses and using we cannot we are a country we are sovereign country we have resolved or not none of us refused to conduct our work if it's insubordination to pass drugs of questionable safety
2:33 pm
or harmful products then of course we want to be in support if that's the way it is let the canadian government see that that this is what they're fighting us for the companies pressured to get us fired this way the longer the weird the more time they get to continue doing what they're doing. they have gone at least ten years and it may take longer to keep selling the same stuff and damaging the health so people can make profit on the backs of people's health that was the insubordination the is .
2:34 pm
the is the same chemical companies that brought us pesticides chlorine and dioxins i've known worked on a new frontier biotechnology. this new technology has been used to transfer genes from one organism to another and has subsequently enabled companies to patent and own the organisms that they genetically modify that means that seeds plants and even trees which are modified using this technology can be privately owned by corporations for the first time in history. all right i'll sleep with a lot very much i want there are some say. they said well yeah we got some but the image that expensive seat is how much all of a laugh got what it was now but they was quite a bit over and. i didn't sylar graeme with them they didn't ask me
2:35 pm
styling because somebody asked them bottom that somebody had done bottom and kill them out and bought a mat so are down implants there's a you can be white classified on top but as our you know as i walk there and and that plant and then i dis buy more with glass flake i don't i don't like colorado as most honest. but anyway i decided to see and that was where most i work on them anime you know they say they got a patent on it there's no you can't have a patent was the cause mother nature bottom line so the guy that could be the seed he says he forgot how he signed a license and just said here's a new favorite season well the state was well backed by somebody else somebody then signed off on he want to get rid of because they didn't want people
2:36 pm
know me well most not a lawyer but i got a deposition where they didn't really give back asleep as a star. that i don't i rate a back seat because i'm be too busy working and stuff like it and then trying to keep it running here is the most great that was forward. but i want to most are represented that's not my hand right now i say now it's my hand right now after this in my hand right now right here all the way down past my hand right now as i look anything past made five thousand dollars to prove that that was not my man right and judge wright is simple would not allow this to be and the quote is that since our justice system lately sucks a little he sucks it's just a corrupt company. perfectly that. mr elf was fined over two point nine
2:37 pm
million dollars per can infringement in regards to saving seeds. the district judge mr else case was rightly simple a former attorney who worked at the law firm that represents monsanto and who is listed as one of monsanto's attorneys in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven class action lawsuit. from two thousand two thousand and eight bradley said was the judge in eleven cases of which monsanto was the plaintiff or defendant gilligan cases were ruled in monsanto's favor. i found that the original research grants came from the new york foundation and that was the rockefeller foundation and that they had spent over one hundred million dollars of their foundation money to finance scientists around the world to do research to genetically modify some of the basic food seeds of the human food
2:38 pm
trade and the animals who checked and the more i researched into the sonora found that three maybe four companies if you include the swiss and cantor but the three main companies and one among them was dominant and that's monsanto that these what i call in the book the four horsemen of the apocalypse these private seed companies they were originally chemical companies. steam poised within five or ten years at the rate they were going to dominate the basic seeds and patent those seeds that much power concentrated in the four corporate entities three of whom have decades long track record of fraud deception lying to the public about the dangers of dioxin the dangers of agent orange and vietnam war after and so forth. that really set off the alarm bells for me.
2:39 pm
when. i got involved in the g.m. issue because it was a new technology ringing opportunities on the us still see them as often that. i was the only but this is for her that she took part in four years of trawling. they were the most i'm so good very vice and gentlemen they were all in this group in the grades to the father the trial work which all told the two hundred sixty all different i mean not just canonical we did spring and winter and i did both a on the farm collector a grouse spring right occasionally when i have to when i have a failure in the winter so i did both of those trials almost all for three years and as i did the first year as a winter project called me over they decided to go back to high level the us at the
2:40 pm
trawler with a to get inside me long to realize that these walls up the tension the simpler way to fall therefore it was cheaper therefore we could the benefits the company seems to be bad to be passed on before he's chasing me to grow and if the price of the end product came down i could still produce it because after the end of the day i've got to make of knowledge in whatever i'm doing as it happened was because of the technology we were also following the g.m. crops yielded a bit more when the convention called in the same field under otherwise similar management because i was doing the. after what now thirteen years of crops in the field the theory is that. we have a herbicide tolerant tree that will reduce the demand for her to size and we have a beach in a tree it will protect farmers are pretty crap from some does some pests that's the theory. even that can't be proven finally at this stage and there's a still
2:41 pm
a constant battle union yang going on between researchers and the companies does show whether or not this really does work or not. we're not seeing increased food production we're not seeing increased benefits to farmers in terms of their pression costs we're not seeing improved nutritional qualities in an urban are on our table so there really isn't a clear benefit. everywhere
2:42 pm
you go this is seems to be the wishes that insurgents have to apply for grants. to come from. companies on. on the campuses the in list students from beginning. can do a peace deal and what subjects and whether they can publish those materials because they're not known by the company so it's wherever you go there is this kind of corruption going on this is not science. and people who want to administer the calculus are not competent or even qualified or educated insides these are
2:43 pm
accountants these are lawyers these are m.b.a.'s is that anything but scientists this room was something to have become part of the uk. what do you think about genetically modified foods and just in general yes i think it's definitely safe but as long as there's regulation there's been research and everything there's. no research showing that it's not safe or that there's any difference between it and regular nonprofit from scholarships they give us gosh oh yeah there's lots yeah lots from it probably on sunday oh. yeah i would offend chemical companies and everything like that for sure. so yeah they're getting involved in theirs and definitely have. a presence on campus for sure succumb of
2:44 pm
the community is the first time in the history of mankind that we have been able to engineer the genetic inheritance of living beings a man who would be wise to ask if there are side effects and to check on them when you insert artificial genes anywhere by bombarding an organism the plants general metabolism can be affected and it could be terrible. if somebody could prove that it's g.m.o. ziba interest a really good. course. would be very positive because he would have arguments that don't. as long. as nobody has the argument. for thinking. there is no reason why did you that monsanto made p.c.p. is they were a huge chemical company and they owned ninety percent of the biotechnology patents
2:45 pm
so we took some of those g.m. corn i was part of the commission which was assessing with corn. and we said where the blood tests firstly the tests on rats didn't go beyond three months which was crazy they concealed the results not from the commission but from the public there were affects many others on the commission said no it doesn't matter we said we must at least start over but we didn't so we asked it to be made public we had to go to a court of appeal. monsanto went before the court to stop the world scientists and the general public from seeing the blood tests on rats they're genetically modified corn for only three months. with you can you imagine that. the world's largest company which sells the most herbicide and which sells virtually the most g.m. seeds in the world goes to court to prevent disclosing blood test results of rats
2:46 pm
who ate their g.m.o. foods for only three months and that's crazy. so we published the effects that we had observed there was a forty eight percent increase in fat a ten percent increase in sugar in the females an increase in liver with an increase in body weight it resembled a pre-diabetic symptom the rats urine samples were abnormal particularly in the male rats rats lost wit and their livers were affected. it worked in the past thirty years there have been no government tests. all the world's drugs are only tested by pharmaceutical companies. the same goes for pesticides. in the late one nine hundred ninety s. patrick to go but see that his local organic supplier seeds turned out to be contaminated with g.m. oath so he filed
2:47 pm
a complaint to uncover where the contamination originated but in two thousand and one the case was dropped mr pickard school was then contacted by a group of american farmers to join them in a class action lawsuit against monsanto dupont dow chemical astra zeneca and novartis international accusing them of engaging in empty trust activities and failure to test for human health and environmental safety coincidently the judge was rightly simple the same judge as in mr ross case the case was ruled in favor of the chemical company. resembled which there was a gold in the gene in my field was a paid content monsanto gene which was sold to me in seeds by as a girl which is a monsanto subsidiary i agreed to take part in a class action lawsuit in the united states so in two thousand i went to washington d.c. to testify and to answer the questions asked by monsanto's lawyers all day they asked
2:48 pm
questions such as do you know your neighbors names i much tax do you pay and where nothing to do with g.m. seeds. i've tended to meetings up in ministry of agriculture recently during which they tried to impose on us a pill for ministerial order for coexistence determining a twenty five yard distance between two fields of corn. that means that my neighbor can so g.m. crops twenty five yards away from my field and yes we officially proved in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven that land three hundred yards away was contaminated. maybe there's not much organic corn today. maybe there is someone with five acres of organic corn surrounded by people with five hundred acres of g.m. corn. so he's not important you can just die out that's the situation
2:49 pm
if you're small you don't matter make room for those who will feed the world. big farmers and i grew managers will feed the world having poisoned it for years it's unbelievable their objective is obvious they want to sell seeds in the harbourside with the same company makes them both the objective is to liberate the farmer or to make a mint dependent it isn't to make a better product for the consumer. the problem is pesticides and g.m. owes. g.m. food due to our d.n.a. chain to our cells and to our children cells we don't know. for the past twelve years genetically modified crops have been growing on a large scale around the world they feed both us and our animals we haven't
2:50 pm
observed any problems due to g.m. consumption or direct or indirect. this french farmer is completely self-sufficient along with four hundred fifty million other farmers worldwide he practices are again equality cultural farming compared to conventional chemical agriculture this type of farming produces soil with three times more earthworms produces eighty percent more yields in developing nations and fruits and vegetables that are up to forty percent more nutritious studies even show that this type of organic farming could feed today's population and more so why do governments still give the majority of subsidies to conventional chemical farming companies claim we need g.m. crops to feed the world. if this is the case then why in america where g.m. crops have been commercialized the longest are thirty five million americans still food insecure still makes if you experiment with something
2:51 pm
without any follow up it's almost criminal pastor came in that is what we are doing isn't very serious are not the savior of those coffee if yet that's what every government has done because biotechnology is their religion they think it will develop so that it will be good to all but that's just a belief because of right of yeah it's just like when we were told the earth was flat for you rather than the reality of e.g. her in the reality. someone from the european union commission explained to the wife at the time that if there are additional as my right she does that tell you they say he's a professor bought a daughter not professor post they explained it to have that.
2:52 pm
if if they repeated the study they found syphilis things that we. they would be able to hush it up again it's runs it was bad enough. twice is sort of still possible what i regarded also as the most important thank god for our studies is that that is and even the responds and in each case since that whatever the d.m. was they looked at the indian status of the animal was they always found that it was the guys when we looked at things rats who had been having the g.m. in the clip that was illuminated and that we wouldn't have expected if the g.m. is substantially equivalent the mother was the same then the lengths should be
2:53 pm
identical but they weren't so go through all just a little tract the lining was growing it was thickened so we thought this was evidence that there was a growth factor to work if you apply that to a transition lesion in the human for example with the lower end of yourself because if you apply the growth factor. then you might taste the development of malignancy at the lower end of yourself of us and similarly in the stomach first once again transitioning lesions there which normally will take time to develop into cancer the darts and it simply insists the guard is this forty that material it's almost like an infection it's not an infection but the immune system just sees something coming in as strange for it and it has to
2:54 pm
react to it i just think that. it was highly it is possible to foist on us something that was not properly exited and there we are all baited to be exposed to it that's highly responsible well in fact i would say that it's probably clipping them all but who the hell listens to be monsanto e.s.f. bayer dupont dow chemical syngenta and astra zeneca declined to be interviewed for this film.
2:55 pm
