Walnuts - CAUTION

This FDA WARNING LETTER was received by Diamond Food, Inc. (nuts). Please take this warning seriously as no known food is good for your health!

Just to be balanced, here is a little known group that debates what the FDA is warning about -
. . . . University of Maryland Medical Center.

Vitamin C - a study link

I made the mistake of checking out The Skeptic's Health Journal Club' and got caught up in Vit-C research and work done by Dr. Klenner. I don't want to lose that thread so here it is:

Who Runs Washington?

This has nothing to do with health. Or does it? I heard a statement recently that there are two lobbyist for every US congressman, most paid big money, from the pharmaceutical industry alone!

Not to accept this at face value, I sleuthed down the following site: OpenSecrets they have a nifty Site Tour for a quick introduction. I've not fully explored it, but just the information on how much pours into Washington through the lobbyists is daunting! Think your congressman will pay attention to your letter? One has to wonder.

To save you a little frustration, here is a page on the BigPharma sector: BigPharma and wonder why 2010 is so low? That's just the first quarter! If you do a little simple math (calculators allowed), divide $200 Million (BigPharma Lobbying $) by 115 Million (number of households in US) that comes out to $1.7 Million per household! Gee that can't be right. Wow, talk about a stimulus plan! I'll take that over Obamacare any day!!

C A N C E R - update on cancer

I've been interested in cancer for some time. One, because they said I might have it (faulty diagnosis with a less than optimum testing method); and Two, because I've lost a lot of friends to it. The PCB* method, by observation, is little more than legalized torture of the worst kind and sucks individuals, nations, and to some extent insurance companies, out of a lot of money; not to mention life! Where does all that money go? I'll let you figure that one out (hint, its not rocket science). Its also the reason there has been almost no progress made in the 'fight against cancer' in the past 30 years.

Audio clip from interview with Dr. Gonzalez: INTERVIEW (added 17 Aug 2010)

Well so much for the soapbox. For the UPDATE: My recent investigation and reading has again led me to Dr. Nicholas J. Gonzalez in New York City.

For more, click here , notice the heading of who partially funded this work and why....

Balance: To add balance to the investigation here is a long read that to some extent invalidates some of the work of the more commonly touted alternative cancer cures. NoGo

I don't really know how I happened upon this fellow and don't know his credentials or background - but his view of the cancer 'industry' is intriguing. Valentine . I need to investigate more if I can....

* PCB = Poison (chemo), Cut (surgery), Burn (radiation)

GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) - spiked junk?

My appologies. Upon further investigation, it would appear that the great benefits attributed to GSE may not be true. Until proven otherwise I am discontinuing use of it.

Just because its sold in health food stores and has great claims on the internet, you can't believe everything you find! According to this REPORT, its laced with a chemical antibacterial agent (triclosan) and one that is now incriminated in causing other PROBLEMS. And while you are at it - check your antibacterial soap. As for me, plain old soap (if it isn't made in Mexico). Or, maybe I'll just make my own.

But then the report could be a bunch of fabricated lies as well. . . . . .

Truth, a slippery gem!

Cervical Cancer

This is only tangentially related to cervical cancer. It is more concerned about the junk science used to justify and perpetuate the use of the very profitable vaccine Garda$il. Should you be interested in the full explanation - continue:

Part I - A Bad Idea

Part II - VAERS, Not the place to start!

Unfortunately, this is the tip of the iceburg. The deeper you dig into the deception of the pharmaceutical industry the worse it gets.

But then it is quite possible that they are immune to the influence of money because they have invented a vaccine for that and take it regularly.

Milk vs White Junk Food

I thought this an interesting article about milk. Since I live in a moderately health ignorant state, the information on raw milk isn't particularly helpfull; but the information on why the milk we buy at the store is less than desirable I find it very informative. Want more? Go here: MMM (Mark McAfee Milk).

A little sidelight - 2% milk, what is it? That means the liquid, by weight is 2% fat. A little marketing slight of hand. What is it in understandable terms?

Whole Milk ~ 51% of the calories are fat. 2% Milk ~ 38% of the calories are fat.
