HRT. . .the end of an era?

Not that many years ago HRT (hormone replacement therapy) was the answer to many woes. But quite by accident, a huge study turned up and unexpected finding. There seemed to be a strong correllation between HRT and breast cancer. But the finding may have flaws - Check for yourself: Drop in Breast Cancer

But just to be sure, check with your doctor for a Mammogram - after reading THIS.

7 ills that don't need pills

Here is an interesting older post by Dr. Mercola on common chronic conditions that may not need a pharmaceutical remedy. Well, come on folks, we all know that the more pills the better!
But here it is: NO PILLS?

Hep-B for newborns - insanity.

If anyone can explain to me why a newborn needs a hepatitis-b vaccine when the mother is a healty monogomous married woman I would certainly be interested.

But on the other hand, if you (Big Pharma) are able to mandate more vaccinations ($$$$$), earlier to birth, the damage done is less likely to be associated with the vaccine and more likely to be attributed to unknown causes associated with birth and infancy. Pretty neat, huh? Unless you are the parent of the damaged or killed infant! And we call ourselves civilized as we offer human sacrifice to the god of Big Pharma!

Another vaccine resource.

Fluoride - more

Rather than a long expose' in the blog, here is a fairly good rundown on the simple facts of why we DON'T need the neurotoxic drug, fluoride, in our water. Fluoride .

From The (Skeptic's) Health Journal Club: (Aug 2010) Why we don't need fluoride

Here is an interesting paper by a scientist who thought nothing of fluoridation, but who became involved in a study of the effects of fluoride in the water supply almost by accident. Going into the study they assumed they would find nothing and be able to go on to more interesting work. What they found and tried to tell the rest of the world about cost them their jobs.
Central Nervous System Damage from Fluorides

Also see previous post: Fluoride - XX

Interesting study using deer antlers to evaluate historical fluoride in the environment: Germany

Nazi use of fluoride: Mind Control (emphasis added)
Excerpt:At the end of World War II, the US government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. The German chemists told Perkins of a scheme which they had devised during the war and had been adapted by the German General Staff. The German chemists explained of their attempt to control the population in any given area through the mass medication of drinking water with sodium fluoride, a tactic used in German and Russian prisoner of war camps to make the prisoners “stupid and docile”(Stephen 1995). Farben had developed plans during the war to fluoridate the occupied countries because it was found that fluoridation caused slight damage to a specific part of the brain, making it more difficult for the person affected to defend his freedom and causing the individual to become more docile towards authority. Fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of the major tranquilizers. It may not seem surprising that Hitler’s regime practiced the concept of mind control through chemical means, but the American military continued Nazi research, exploring techniques to incapacitate an enemy or medicate an entire nation. As stated in the Rockerfeller Report, a Presidential briefing on CIA activities, “the drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of controlling human behavior”(Stephen 1995).

American Cancer Society

Ever wonder why cancer hits more and more people, treatment is barbaric and worse than torture in a prison camp, and secondary cancers (a result of the treatment) continue to rise?
It's a toss up which is worse - news that you are having your finances audited by the IRS, or finding out you have cancer. Of course both can be financially devistating. Here is a headline you may find interesting:

Reckless Indifference Of The American Cancer Society To Cancer Prevention

CHICAGO, IL, December 28, 2009 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Early this month, top Republican Senator Charles E. Grassley sent letters to the American Cancer Society (ACS), besides the American Medical Association (AMA) and 31 other medical advocacy groups, asking them to provide detailed information on tax-deductible funds that they have received from drug and device makers.

Lots of provacative questions and info here - CANCER

Body Scanners - Messing with the gene pool?

Body Scanners - The Plot Thickens (1/12/10 update) NaturalNews Update.

Are there alternatives? How about this? Israeli Security

(NaturalNews) In researching the biological effects of the millimeter wave scanners used for whole body imaging at airports, NaturalNews has learned that the energy emitted by the machines may damage human DNA.

Millimeter wave machines represent one of two primary technologies currently being used for the "digital strip searches" being conducted at airports around the world. "The Transportation Security Administration utilizes two technologies to capture naked images of air travelers - backscatter x-ray technology and millimeter wave technology," reports the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a non-profit currently suing the U.S. government to stop these electronic strip searches. (http://epic.org/privacy/airtravel/b...)

In order to generate the nude image of the human body, these machines emit terahertz photons -- high-frequency energy "particles" that can pass through clothing and body tissue.

The manufacturers of such machines claim they are perfectly safe and present no health risks, but a study conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov (and colleagues) at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico showed that these terahertz waves could "...unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication."

In layman's terms, any time you're talking about interfering with "gene expression" and "DNA replication," you're essentially talking about something that could be a risk to human health.



Never approved as safe for humans
"At first glance, it's easy to dismiss any notion that they can be damaging," reports TechnologyReview.com (http://www.technologyreview.com/blo...). "But a new generation of cameras are set to appear that not only record terahertz waves but also bombard us with them. And if our exposure is set to increase, the question that urgently needs answering is what level of terahertz exposure is safe."

And yet no such long-term safety testing has ever been conducted by a third party. There have been no clinical trials indicating that multiple exposures to such terahertz waves, accumulated over a long period of time, are safe for humans. The FDA, in particular, has never granted its approval for any such devices even though these devices clearly qualify as "medical devices."

(If you try to sell an X-ray imaging device yourself, without FDA approval, you'll be arrested. So why do these TSA suppliers get away with selling human body imaging equipment that has never been adequately safety tested or approved by the FDA?)

The study cited in the TechnologyReview article mentioned above is visible at: http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.5294

There, study authors conclude: "Based on our results we argue that a specific terahertz radiation exposure may significantly affect the natural dynamics of DNA, and thereby influence intricate molecular processes involved in gene expression and DNA replication."

In other words, millimeter wave scanning devices may damage your DNA.

Tinnitus - an interesting find

I ran into this quite by 'accident':

Tinnitus can be eased by listening to modified music

A study of 23 patients with chronic tinnitus found that the loudness of the ringing in the patients' ears could be reduced through music therapy.

Researchers at the University of Münster, Germany, led by Christo Pantev, PhD, exposed tinnitus sufferers to their preferred music after the music was "notched," or modified, to remove certain notes that matched the of the ringing in their ears.

After 12 months of listening to the modified music, the target group reported significantly reduced tinnitus loudness. Researchers also observed reduced activity in the auditory cortex areas corresponding to the tinnitus frequency.

Maladaptive auditory cortex reorganization may contribute to tinnitus, according to the researchers. Because cortical organization can be modified by behavioral training, the researchers surmised that listening to the notched music may have re-wired parts of the over-active auditory cortex, or deprived certain auditory neurons, making them less active.

The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

African Medicine

Here is one you have probably not thought of - natures sutures.

Soldier Driver ants (Dorylus) or siafu (found in Africa) have a bite so strong and persistant that they are sometimes used to suture wounds; just apply an ant while you hold the wound together and let it bite, then rip the body off. It should hold for a few days.

But then most of you would not want to travel to Africa to find them. . .

Vaccination - Faulty Science?

Here are some interesting observations about mass vaccination programs of the past. Or as the saying goes, he who does not learn from history is bound to repeat it. Or, H1N1, here we come!

• In the USA in 1960, two virologists discovered that both polio vaccines were contaminated with the SV 40 virus which causes cancer in animals as well as changes in human cell tissue cultures. Millions of children had been injected with these vaccines. (Med Jnl of Australia 17/3/1973 p555)

• In 1871-2, England, with 98% of the population aged between 2 and 50 vaccinated against smallpox, it experienced its worst ever smallpox outbreak with 45,000 deaths. During the same period in Germany, with a vaccination rate of 96%, there were over 125,000 deaths from smallpox. (http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/020...)
The Hadwen Documents

• In Germany, compulsory mass vaccination against diphtheria commenced in 1940 and by 1945 diphtheria cases were up from 40,000 to 250,000. (Don't Get Stuck, Hannah Allen)

• In 1967, Ghana was declared measles free by the World Health Organisation after 96% of its population was vaccinated. In 1972, Ghana experienced one of its worst measles outbreaks with its highest ever mortality rate. (Dr H Albonico, MMR Vaccine Campaign in Switzerland, March 1990)

• In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists, that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts" )

• In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre, UK)

• In the 1970's a tuberculosis vaccine trial in India involving 260,000 people revealed that more cases of TB occurred in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. (The Lancet 12/1/80 p73)

• In 1978, a survey of 30 States in the US revealed that more than half of the children who contracted measles had been adequately vaccinated. (The People's Doctor, Dr R Mendelsohn)

• The February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of obstetricians and 66% of pediatricians refused to take the rubella vaccine.

• In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)

• In the USA, the cost of a single DPT shot had risen from 11 cents in 1982 to $11.40 in 1987. The manufacturers of the vaccine were putting aside $8 per shot to cover legal costs and damages they were paying out to parents of brain damaged children and children who died after vaccination. (The Vine, Issue 7, January 1994, Nambour, Qld)

• In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest attack rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest vaccine coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91)

• In 1990, a UK survey involving 598 doctors revealed that over 50% of them refused to have the Hepatitis B vaccine despite belonging to the high risk group urged to be vaccinated. (British Med Jnl, 27/1/1990)

• In the USA, from July 1990 to November 1993, the US Food and Drug Administration counted a total of 54,072 adverse reactions following vaccination. The FDA admitted that this number represented only 10% of the real total, because most doctors were refusing to report vaccine injuries. In other words, adverse reactions for this period exceeded half a million! (National Vaccine Information Centre, March 2, 1994)

• In 1990, the Journal of the American Medical Association had an article on measles which stated " Although more than 95% of school-aged children in the US are vaccinated against measles, large measles outbreaks continue to occur in schools and most cases in this setting occur among previously vaccinated children." (JAMA, 21/11/90)

• In the New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue a study found that over 80% of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.

• On November 2nd, 2000, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced that its members voted at their 57th annual meeting in St Louis to pass a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines. The resolution passed without a single "no" vote. http://www.wellnesschiro.com/physic...

BigPharma and Genetic Polution

Now that the 'worst pandemic the world has ever seen' has failed to materialize (but guess who got rich off the hoax?), there are millions of vials of H1N1 vaccine that will shortly have to be disposed of. Ever wonder where it goes? Does your government care? NOPE!

(NaturalNews) Polluting the environment with H1N1 vaccines:

There's a huge environmental concern in all this, of course: What's the effect of dumping millions of doses of H1N1 DNA / RNA into the public sewer system? No one really knows. It's yet another grand Big Pharma experiment. And how about the chemical additives, preservatives and adjuncts added to the vaccines? What impact will all those chemicals have on the environment?

It's a startling fact that the sewage expelled by one city ends up in the public drinking water of the next city downstream. Sewage is treated, of course, to achieve EPA-regulated "safe" status before it's dumped back into the rivers, but the EPA doesn't regulate something called "DNA pollution." DNA and RNA can be dumped into the sewage systems in virtually unlimited quantities, without any regulatory oversight (the FDA doesn't regulate drug disposal either).

If you think about it, then, this whole swine flu fiasco has been a huge scam of paying money to the drug companies in order to flush swine flu genetic material down the drain. This is the brilliance of government-led health policy, by the way: Spend good money to pollute the planet with potentially dangerous genetic material that might one day end up recombining with some other opportunistic viral candidates circulating in the wild.

What a clever way to help cause the next great pandemic, huh? It's almost a perfect recipe for vaccine repeat business: Take today's most virulent pandemic strain, replicate it in pharmaceutical labs around the world, then dump it into the environment for mass distribution. That's essentially what's happening here. It sounds insane, but it's exactly what's about to take place when the H1N1 liquidation sales are over and medical retailers just start flushing all these vaccines down the drain.


No EPA regulations
There are no EPA regulations that limit the dumping of vaccines directly into the public sewage system, by the way. Dumping excess pharmaceuticals down the drain is routine in modern medicine. Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and patients routinely flush pharmaceuticals down the drain. This is why you can now find HRT drugs, antidepressants and blood pressure drugs in the fish near any major U.S. city.

So many drugs are now dumped into the sewers that rivers have become Big Pharma runoff zones that poison the fish and destroy aquatic life. No wonder the world's oceans are dying -- they're all being bathed in Big Pharma's chemical waste!

But that's not the end of this story: In places all across America, sewage waste is used to make fertilizer that's spread on crops. The solid sewage waste is called "biosolids" or "black gold," and it's used by farmers and gardeners as a soil additive. What the people using this toxic sludge don't realize is that it's contaminated with Big Pharma's toxic chemicals. And soon, it may be contaminated with H1N1 vaccine material from all the millions of unused doses that pharmacies couldn't manage to peddle to consumers.

In the end, all those unused vaccines will eventually end up as crop fertilizer. It's yet another reason to avoid monoculture crops and grow your own food using biodynamic gardening methods, huh?

Globesity - World's Ten Fattest Countries

We have been inundated with the word 'pandemic' which seems to dull the word 'epidemic', but the epidemic of obesity is becoming worldwide. So much so that the World Health Organization has coined the word Globesity. From WHO studies and statistics here is the latest:

The World's 10 Fattest Countries

1) American Samoa, 93.5 percent (of population that's overweight)
2) Kiribati, 81.5 percent
3) U.S., 66.7 percent
4) Germany, 66.5 percent
5) Egypt, 66 percent
6) Bosnia-Herzegovina, 62.9 percent
7) New Zealand, 62.7 percent
8) Israel, 61.9 percent
9) Croatia, 61.4 percent
10) United Kingdom, 61 percent (Interesting sidelight)
Canada comes in at 59% (2004)

H1N1 etc.

A general collection of articles about the great flu hoax of 2009

Come and Get it! Tamiflu will do! Or . . .maybe jellybeans are better.

The Plague, the Flu, and YOU - More of what you CAN do besides getting shot!

NOW WHAT! The Ukrainian Flu - We've seen how very expensive and inefficient the H1N1 has been. When are we going to get smart and start to rely on what we were intended to do to combat these illnesses. If you don't think the writing is plain, take notice - your government is totally unable to throw enough money at this to help YOU. But they are able to throw YOUR MONEY to BigPharma to make them richer!

Are flu shots safe & effective? Mounting evidence says NO! Dr. Gary Null
(There are those who would discredit Dr. Scheibner, a major resource quoted by Dr. Null. She is actually a geologist. But how she and her husband discovered a connection between SIDS and vaccines is most compelling GoSee or More) of course the CDC has also discredited this connection(!). This is really interesting - a MUST HEAR!

Problems with premature viral treatments: CDC Dr Shelton It appears the CDC is encouraging treatment with Tamiflu or Relenza even though the physician doesn't know exactly what he is treating. Dr. Shelton reveals the dangers of these drugs that aren't very well known to doctors who use them.
Suicide, hallucinations, etc. indications of neurological side effects of these drugs. Many doctors attribute these side effects to the flu, not the medicine. Whoops, Dr. Shelton is an interesting case by herself. I guess you don't embarrass the law in cook county! Here is another link for similar info. Tamiflu

H1N1 a 'dud' pandemic

The Canadian shuffle - at least they are checking some of the real research. And you might just want to consider a little exercise and Vitamin D. U.S. not so smart...

How do they know if anyone really has the flu, much less the H1N1 strain? Here is a well researched article by the New York Times.

Lancet Study Flawed Vaccination Studies Problems continue with Mercury!

(The majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury, an amount considered unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds.)

An excerpt from a CBC article "In both Canada and the U.S., health authorities are reporting that influenza-like illnesses are running higher than normal these past four weeks, though they have largely given up tracking how much of this is H1N1 related." hmmm . . want to read between the lines on that one? And with the scare tactics being promulgated, why wouldn't there be more reported "influenza-like illnesses? You used to stay home and get over a cold - now you run to the doctor!

Since governments have been suckered into buying so much of the stuff on the false pretense there will be one of the worst pandemics in history (I wonder who started that rumor?! - wouldn't have been BigPharma by any chance?) there is not only a mass media blitz pushing 'the shot', but every means possible is being taken to generate the expected number of hospitalizations, deaths, and sickness resulting from the H1N1. It's the new-news generation: if there ain't any news, make it up! Or did that happen when most phone lines were party lines? (most people don't know what those were).

Interesting site

Sun, Vit-D, Skin Cancer, Heart Health, Gene Health

Is sun exposure to be avoided and sunscreens used at all times? That might be killing you!

There may be a health link between Vit D and your Genes

So . . . Whatcha Gonna Do!?!?! (Update) Get natural antibiotics (Antimicrobial Peptides) - your own body should make them. But maybe its not doing a very good job. See how to rev-it-up with Vitamin-D.

See the D-Council. A good read. Its not a vitamin - its more a hormone.

You need sunlight on your skin for your body to make vitamin D. And many are vit-D deficient because they have become sun-o-phobic. Much to the detriment of their overall health.

Dec 08 Update: U.S. News (heart health) and JACC . Other references: UC-San Diego & Harvard Medical

The key is daily sun exposure of 5 to 15 minutes to lots of skin (not just your big toe) and avoid sunburn. This will keep your vit-D up and your risk minimal. Winter will really cut down your vit-D if you live farther North because the sun is at a lower angle. More on this later (I hope).

UPDATE: Quest Labs give inaccurate results for Vitamin D lab tests. More than you ever wanted to know!

New addition - Mushrooms, when exposed to UV-B make Vit-D, just like we do. LINK

There is the additional problem of toxins found in sunscreens/sunblocks; plus a lot of them just don't work! There are alternatives on the market, but you have to hunt them down! Here are a few:

Magnesium

Magnesium is a vital mineral - unfortunately most of us are deficient because intensive farming has depleted it from the soil. Growing a home garden? Put some Epsom Salts in the soil so you will then get more from your vegies.

Here is another site with some good information and includes a list of symptoms often associated with low magnesium (see Magnesium part 2)

Sore muscles, tired, try soaking in a warm bath or foot soak with Epsom Salts.

Your body just doesn't work right without a good supply of Magnesium. Regular blood tests won't show up a deficiency either - your body will do anything to keep the magnesium in your blood at a normal level, so it takes it out of your cells and bones first.
Here is a summary of Magnesium:

• Good Site
• You need magnesium to make over 300+ enzymes in your body
• Helps protect neurons from mercury
• Critical for heart health (long list including arrhythmia's)
• Don't absorb calcium, potassium and other vitamins/minerals if low on Magnesium
• Since magnesium is necessary for proper nerve and muscle function, sub clinical indication of deficiency include muscle ticks and cramps. For more deficiency symptoms go HERE and scroll down to Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency.
• If your low, it may be hard to take supplements to get it up. Try using a topical gel. I get mine at Bio Innovations, but you might try a health food store. Untried Source
• Dr. Russell Blaylock states "It is ironic that doctors prescribe drugs that cost thousands of dollars to treat the complications of heart disease, yet rarely pay attention to one of the most versatile, powerful and least expensive weapons in their arsenal: magnesium."
• RDA's are based on the 'Sick-Care' model, not the 'Optimum Health' model, but there is some good background information at the BigGov site: BigGovMag
  

Hope this helps somebody - upping your magnesium has a high return on investment value!
You might also want to see if your local library has a copy of the book "The Magnesium Miracle" by Carolyn Dean.
