Expert Profile: Michael Polidori

Expertise: I can answer questions about food safety issues and benefits vs risks issues related to the growing, environmental effects and health effects of conventional, organic and gene altered food, both plants and animals. I can answer questions related to the cause and treatment of nutritionally related disease (especially immune related diseases) and nutritional problems related to healing a body that has been injured through accident or bad eating habits.

Experience in the area
As a member of a group in Raleigh North Carolina I have been studying food growing methods, the regulatory efforts to influence these methods and the changes in our food supply due to genetic engineering and organic agriculture since 1998. I have prepared and participated in Public Television talk and radio shows, and debated in college forums with professors about the safety of gene altered foods. I have helped to manage booths at major North Carolina events (including the Raleigh State Fair)since 2000 giving out information concerning safety issues on nutrition and the possible dangers of genetically engineering our food supply. I have an extensive understanding of the regulatory practices of the FDA and the USDA along with the selection of personnel to craft regulatory legislation. I have participated in the preparation of the materials to be passed out at the booths we have set up. I have been involved in health care, prescription drugs, disease and wellness issues since 1997 reading and writing extensively on the internet and in daily life. I have directed friends, family and acquaintences along a path leading to health and fitness since 2000, including helping a friend to no longer need thyroid medication and assisting two acquaintenances with a poisoning they experienced in 1989 (tainted tryptophan) to be properly diagnosed and treated.

Organizations
North Carolina Citizens For Safe Food, Public Citizen, Organic Consumers Association.

Education/Credentials
No Degree but some college in the sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics).

Very thorough information.

Gave me a little more information than I had asked for, and not in the way I may have preferred, but overall the answer was very thorough and answered
