New World Order Title: Magician calls for more unfounded bannings at LP!! Chinese honey is notorious for containing the banned antibiotic chloramphenicol, used by farmers to keep bees from falling ill. Chloramphenicol causes a fatal blood disorder in humans called agranulocytosis - no white cells Chinese honey should be BANNED. A simple google shows he gets his medical knowledge from WND articles. "A large number of drugs[3] have been associated with agranulocytosis, including antiepileptics, antithyroid drugs (carbimazole, methimazole, and propylthiouracil), antibiotics (penicillin, chloramphenicol and co-trimoxazole), cytotoxic drugs, gold, NSAIDs (indomethacin, naproxen, phenylbutazone, metamizole), mebendazole, the antidepressant mirtazapine, and some antipsychotics (the atypical antipsychotic clozapine[4]). Clozapine users in the US must be nationally registered for monitoring of low WBC and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC). Although the reaction is generally idiosyncratic rather than proportional, experts recommend that patients using these drugs be told about the symptoms of agranulocytosis-related infection, such as a sore throat and a fever." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agranulocytosis "CHLORAMPHENICOL - An antibiotic, this drug is rarely used in industrialized countries; in the Third World it has been used liberally for common infections when less toxic antibiotics would have been preferable. It is said to cause aplastic anemia (a fatal blood disease) in one of 20,000-40,000 cases. Its use was blamed for the death of 20,000 in 1972-73 when a typhoid epidemic broke out in Mexico City. Chloramphenicol was believed to be the cure for typhoid and 100,000 sick people were treated with it. Some 20,000 died when it proved ineffective because free use of the drug had produced a resistant strain of typhoid. No hazards were listed on products sold in Colombia and Ecuador. In Latin America the drug is promoted and used for such trivial illnesses as acne and athletes foot. Nine brands are sold in Malaysia and 30 in Thailand. Advertisements stress its versatility; one brand in Thailand suggests the drug for 50 conditions including measles, chicken pox, tonsillitis, and skin disease. In Africa and Asia the drug is recommended for is sold freely. There are no controls in labeling, packaging, or indicating the expiration date." http://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/bangladesh/some-drugs- commonly-misused-third-world
