    Ban GMO Music Now!

    About Hank

    I'm the founder of Science 2.0® and co-author of "Science Left Behind".

    A wise man once said Darwin had the greatest idea anyone...

    Physician John Smallberries said to me, “Twenty years ago, I didn’t even know what the word autism meant. It was rare.” But since then something has shifted. 

    Whether it was music, vaccines, GMOs, or some combination of those, an astounding 1 in 110 children are now diagnosed as being 'on the spectrum', with boys 4 to 5 times likely to be diagnosed.  

    What could be damaging the health and well-being of so many of our children? 

    Dan Hoover, PhD, professor emeritus from Folsom University, has an idea. In March, 2012, Hoover gave a talk in Holland about the physiological, neurological, and behavioral symptoms of pigs, cows, and rats who listened to genetically modified (GM) music. After his lecture, a physician and autism specialist approached him and said, “The symptoms you describe are the same as autistic children.”

    The animals in those studies were listening to the same GM music available to children and adults in the US.  If you are not familiar with Genetically Modified Music (GMM), it is outfitted with unnatural modifications that radically alter the natural pitch of singers to make the product seem more palatable to consumers, much like a watermelon without seeds is created to be less annoying or a banana is cloned to make corporations rich. That unnaturalness is why no one eats those two things.


    And perhaps they shouldn't listen to genetically modified music for the same reason. Over time, this genetically modified music residue accumulates in our brains and there it has an even more unsettling characteristic; advocates fear it is dynamically compressing our minds. Every time you listen to genetically modified music (GMM), those inserted genes produce effects called intonation consistencies in every cell of our brains.

    Corporate executives and sound producers all paid by Big Music insist genetically modified music is harmless, some even deny it exists, but that is not what independent scientists are finding.

    They are finding that it may be harmful, even in an unborn baby. 

    More and more parents have the same concern about GMM. According to Hoover, a parent told him that “his sons just seem to be always irritated." Another researcher noted similar odd behavior in the daughters of his client. “They would get ritualistic. She listened to Call Me (Maybe) hundreds of times.”


    DANGER.  Genetically Modified Music may be harmful. Please discontinue listening once per hour and consult a physician if symptoms, like humming and putting up a shaka (thumb and pinky out, near your ear, mimicking a phone from about a hundred years ago) persist while singing.

    And when in school, teachers report an alarming trend of children “walking around like they have Alzheimer’s. They would lose the ability to know where their next class was.” Although many of these odd behaviors had been dismissed as normal stress responses for confined people, "when we switched them to non-GMO music, the problems went away and so the real cause became obvious."

    Similar antisocial patterns that Hoover described were observed by a Brazilian college student more than a decade ago when comparing mice who listened to Genetically Modified Music (Britney Spears) and non-GMM (1970s-era James Taylor) tunes. He wrote, “The mice who listened to GM music seemed less active while in their cages. The differences in activity between the two cages grew as the experiment progressed.”

    The differences were most striking when he moved the mice to weigh them. “The mice from the GMM cage were noticeably more distressed by the occurrence than the other mice. Many were running round the basket and when the music stopped, they were scratching desperately in the sawdust, jumping frantically up the sides, something I’d never seen before. They were clearly more nervous. This was the most disconcerting evidence that GM music is not quite normal.”

    There is no peer-reviewed evidence that GM Music is harming children, but that is because the the AMA, the National Academies and the UN are all in cahoots with Big Music lobbyists and deny there is any risk. There is nothing to test, they claim. It is just a process and the music is no different.  

    A growing number of researchers disagree and this music should have been thoroughly tested before it was released into society, where now it may be corrupting natural music with its synthetic genetic backbeat.  

    PLEASE SIGN MY CHANGE.ORG PETITION TO FORCE THE FDA TO EXAMINE THE HARMFUL IMPACT OF GMMs.
     
    It's for the children.

    Do they even label to tell us which music is GMM'ed???

    I'll take my music recorded using electronic equipment, mastered to digital format and produced on laser-read digital music media - you know the natural way music was created to be.

    And it's a fact that children that grew up listening to the classic James Taylor album "Mudslide Slim and the Blue Horizon" grow up far more musically literate than those that did not.

    Just say no to all un-naturalnesses.

    My change.org petition actually got a signature. So you and I are not alone in our concern about GMM infestation.

    You know what?  This is one of the reasons I come here to read.  Under-publicized science is still science and deserves to be brought to the attention of concerned citizens.  Any chance of a prop 1099 that would protect us?

    I'm thinking that there is a market for an acoustic filter to help remedy this situation.  hmmm how to fit the filter into an earbud?

    Caveat:  If we could agree on a baseline it would make my work much easier.  For instance, from my studies the 1970's represent the beginning of the slide down that slippery slope.  Therefore I suggest that we consider all recordings made after Buddy Holly released 'Rave On' are suspect and should be investigated.
    This brings to mind the infamous "exploding mouse" scene in "Rock and Roll High School"

    Where are the clearly outlined exemptions for indie labels, performances by street artists, songs that merely sample GM music, and commercial jingles for homeopathic remedies? Clearly the musically-conscious practices that go into producing this music must cancel out the deleterious effects of GM music!

    Am I the only one who thinks this article is a joke?

    Hank
    It's not a joke if your teenager got Alzheimer's due to GMMs!

    OH yeah?  I always felt that your avatar picture is a bit like Perfect Tommy.

    I'm glad someone reads this stuff.  I put a lot of thought into it! I thought about making the Folsom U professor John Worfin too, but that would have been too obvious.

    Carly Rae Jepsen is a total doll in this video but I have to confess I never saw it, or listened to the whole song, before writing this.  What I had seen was a parody; a guy who surprises people on the receiving end of his web cam by lip syncing the song in bikinis.  But for this article I wanted something popular so I used the actual video above. But here is the funny one:


    The looks on their faces is priceless.

    It was only after that I discovered these parodies are a cottage industry of their own. For example, the Harvard baseball team.  Wait, Harvard has a baseball team?  Exactly.  But now 15 million people know they do:



    The US Swim Team is pretty terrific too, because they ham it up and, let's face it, they have the bodies of Olympic athletes. Missy Franklin and Jepsen also hammed it up together at the Arthur Ashe Kids' Day Saturday:



    and the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders:
