Health Care Reform needs Natural Medicine

Health care cannot be reformed if we are to rely on prescription drugs and the doctors who push them. We cannot be safe and healthy without the knowledge that if the food we buy is not organic, it is loaded with chemicals used in a variety of poisonous products. Poison kills, or it wouldn't be poison! Eventually our bodies break down and lose the ability to heal themselves, yet we go running back to the doctor for more pills!

Americans need to get off drugs. We need to look at the big picture and realize that we have other choices. We need to accept Natural Medicine and Whole Body Healing as a legal medical practice that is safe and focused on our well being.



European Union: Probiotic health claims dismissed

Scientists at the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) looked at 180 health claims for the supplements.

They rejected 10 claims and said a further 170 had not provided enough evidence of their effects.

Europe will have very "clean" food labels it seems. No health information allowed. But do we really need the Brussels Commission to protect us from finding out what certain foods might be good for? Are they thinking we are so weak we can't be trusted to read what someone believes their product is good for? 100 % protected - 100 % governed. Go Europe, go ... good for you! :-(



EU: Pressure against Lisbon Treaty intensifies

With increasing numbers of European citizens showing their concerns about ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the pressure against Lisbon is clearly intensifying, and it seems that ‘No’ voters are being encouraged by the ‘Klaus’ factor. In an article written in June 2008 about the Czech threat to the Lisbon Treaty, the BBC quoted Sarkozy, as having said "Ireland is a problem, but if we have a second or third problem then it's really going to get difficult".



Treaty of Lisbon: Questions about the Irish Referendum

May I take the opportunity of saying that the current Lisbon referendum, as I presume you have noted, has been characterized by monstrous illegality on the part of several key parties, as follows:-

1. The intervention of the European Commission, which is unlawful under European law

2. The part-funding of the posters and press advertisements of most of Ireland's Yes-side political parties by their sister parties in the European Parliament

3. The Government's unlawful use of public funds

4. The failure of your own Referendum Commission to carry out its statutory function...



Daily sweets 'linked to violence'

The Cardiff University study involving 17,500 people is the first into effects of childhood diet on adult violence. It found 10-year-olds who ate sweets daily were significantly more likely to have a violence conviction by age 34.



Are You Depressed, or Just Human?

The message -- all sadness is depression, depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, this pill will make you happy, your doctor will get it for you -- could not be clearer. The fact that the ad appears on television, the ultimate mass medium, also implies that depression is extremely common.



Study: Paxil Is Worst Drug For Suicide Attempts

An interesting paper came out in PLoS last week in which researchers from the University of Alabama looked at suicidal ideations reported in the FDA's adverse events database for 832 prescription drugs and compared that with suicide attempts reported in the database. The study covered 2004 through 2008 and found that Paxil was by far the worst drug of any kind on the market with 1,323 suicide attempts.

Paxil accounted for about one-third of all suicide attempts reported for all 32 anti-depressants (1,323 for Paxil and 3,572 for all anti-depressants).



Keep doctors independent; ban fees from drug makers

Patients trust doctors as stewards of their health. They revere them as scientists who can exercise sound, independent judgment. Allowing doctors to promote drugs for pharmaceutical companies takes advantage of that trust and reverence. It also compromises doctors’ most important work: treating people who are ill.



Blockbuster Primate Study Shows Significant Harm from One Birth Dose of a Mercury-Containing Vaccine

A research team led by scientists from the University of Pittsburgh and Thoughtful House reported today that exposure to a birth dose of a hepatitis B vaccine that included an ethyl mercury preservative caused significant delays in the development of several survival reflexes in male rhesus macaque monkeys. The findings were published on line today in the journal Neurotoxicology.

And here we are injecting that stuff into our babies quite routinely. Why should we allow this?



Advocacy Groups Ask President Obama to Order Suspension of Hepatitis B Vaccine Birth Dose

Considering a demonstrated 50% increase in autism prevalence, combined with two recent studies indicating a potential role of the Hepatitis B vaccine as a factor in the development of autism, advocacy groups urge President Obama to order the immediate suspension of the recommendation and administration of the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns – with the exception of rare cases where the mother tests positive for Hepatitis B.



Members of European Parliament question swine flu vaccine safety

Françoise Grossetête, a French Member of the EPP group said: "Loads of people say that seasonal flu is not that dangerous and not that many people die per year. If the N1H1 is similar to that why make such a fuss about it?"



H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Insert Warns of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Vasculitis, Paralysis, Anaphylactic Shock, Death

(link from stephentvedten.blogspot.com - blog censored by Blogger. Check out his other site at http://www.stephentvedten.com/ )

According to the package insert, the vaccine (based on an earlier vaccine product known as Fluvirin) is known to cause a whole host of very nasty side effects such as guillain-barre syndrome, vasculitis, anaphylactic shock and even death.

Of course anyone who has been studying vaccine side effects already knows that it causes all of these things, but the story here is that the insert for the swine flu vaccine itself is admitting all of these things. The insert says that it was updated during September 2009, so it reflects the very latest information.



Facts and Fiction About the 2009 Swine Flu Pandemic

In May 2009 the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the outbreak of swine flu had passed and that there was no immediate danger of its spread. However, a month later (June 2009), after a wave of various medical expert opinions surfaced predicting dire outcomes from swine flu virus, the WHO revised its statement and declared a swine flu pandemic. Of course, this put a lot of pressure on the governments of many countries to mobilize their resources and get ready to meet the challenge of combating the flu with drugs and vaccines...



Influenza diagnostic testing cannot distinguish between H1N1 and other viruses

You may not be able to find out definitively what flu virus you have. Currently available rapid influenza diagnostic tests cannot distinguish between 2009 H1N1 and seasonal influenza A viruses. Most people with flu symptoms this season will not require testing for 2009 H1N1 because the test results usually do not change how you are treated. As of September 2009, more than 99% of circulating influenza viruses in the United States are 2009 H1N1.

So it seems that "the flu" (the seasonal one) has morphed into "the swine flu" this year. No distinction is being made between the flu and the swine flu. One interesting question remains to be answered: How does the CDC know that 99% of the flu virus currently on the loose in the USA is H1N1 when their tests either cannot distinguish or aren't even being performed on the vast majority of cases? Clairvoyance? Or is it just a matter of "selling" the vaccine?



A Heretic’s View of Influenza’s Role in Health & Disease

The immune system is the complex interaction between white blood cells, antibodies, hormones, proteins, enzymes, and inflammatory molecules called cytokines. All act in silent synchrony to maintain health. The body is exposed to billions of microbes on the skin, in the mouth, in the digestive tract, and on everything we touch. Microbes that coexist with humans are called symbionts—organisms we have a beneficial relationship with, and are considered to be part of, our normal flora.

The immune system can easily recognize non-symbionts and effectively eliminates them. This process occurs thousands of times per day with little fanfare. However, it is not the “invasion” by external microbes that leads to symptoms known as an infection; it is the compromise of the immune system due to the contamination of the terrain that allows this to occur.



Prediction: What antiretroviral drugs will accomplish

Prediction 1: The rates of death among young and middle-aged adults from “non-AIDS” conditions like heart failure, kidney failure, liver failure, and assorted cancers will begin to increase significantly within a decade.

Prediction 2: The proportion of those “benefiting” from antiretroviral drugs who die or drop out will increase steadily.

Prediction 3: For years, perhaps many years, these predicted happenings will be masked from general view by fudging of “drop-out” and death statistics. Iatrogenic deaths will be reported as something else. Eventually, though, it will become impossible to hide the real facts since they will become increasingly obvious to lay observers.



The Mitochondria & Degenerative Diseases or How ARVS cause AIDS

The fact that the slowing down, manipulation, and damage of the mitochondria is one of the tell tale signs of all degenerative diseases... and that the drugs slow down and damage the mitochondria is something that really needs to be discussed. In a recent study where they put several non-HIV positive people on HAART after only thirty days all showed mitochondrial DNA damage...



Raindance Film Festival Screens House of Numbers - "A stunning piece of filmmaking!"

We were flooded with hate mail, emails, legal letters couriered from the States from all sorts of people threatening us and accusing us of being prissy and smug about showing this film obviously from people who obviously hadn’t seen it accusing this film of being an “AIDS denialist” film and I’ve just seen the film and it’s obviously not an “AIDS denialist” film at all. It’s just a brilliant piece of filmmaking – journalistic filmmaking which, anyone who takes the time and effort to see it should completely re-examine their view of the whole AIDS/HIV question… I think history is gonna be re-written or should be re-written and perhaps this… film is one of the first steps.



The demise of the dollar

In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.

Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.

This change has been bubbling under the surface for some years now. Here is what I wrote six years ago: Will Oil End War Economy?
