Movement of Life!
Dr Rath speaks about preventing heart disease, cancer, AIDS and the role of the petrochemical - pharmaceutical cartel in opposing any changeThe pharmaceutical industry is not a health industry but an investment business accountable to the profit interests of its shareholders.
The prevention and eradication of disease decreases the global markets for pharmaceutical drugs and is therefore not in the interests of this industry and is being actively fought by them.
Micronutrients address the cellular root causes of diseases. By preventing diseases at their roots, this natural, non-patentable health approach threatens the multi-billion global drug markets and ultimately the continuation of the pharmaceutical investment business with disease.
The pharmaceutical industry, one of the largest investment industries in the world has now been exposed as an organized fraud: it promises health but delivers disease – and feeds itself on this global deception.
FDA Scientists Petition President Obama - Protect the Public, Protect the Whistleblowers
The attached letter from FDA Whistle blowers to President Obama petitions the president to act now to clean up the corruption in the FDA.The words "Dear Mr. President" in the short article are linked to the PDF of the actual letter, which starts out with the words:
"The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to the frustration and outrage that FDA physicians and scientists, public advocacy groups, the press, and the American people, have repeatedly expressed over the misdeeds of FDA officials. Recent press reports revealed extensive evidence of serious wrongdoing by Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, Dr. Frank M. Torti, top FDA attorneys, Center and Office Directors, and many others in prominent positions of authority at FDA. As a result, Dr. Frank M. Torti, Acting Commissioner and the FDA’s first Chief Scientist, abruptly left the Agency. But, the many other FDA managers who have failed to protect the American public, who have violated laws, rules, and regulations, who have suppressed or altered scientific or technological findings and conclusions, who have abused their power and authority, and who have engaged in illegal retaliation against those who speak out, have not been held accountable and remain in place."
I wonder how long the FDA will continue to be looked at as a kind of benevolent older brother by the health authorities of countries around the world. Unless the very serious shortcomings in the agency are addressed and eliminated, all we can get from following the FDA's decisions seems to be a less effective and more dangerous bunch of pharmaceutical products. So why imitate the FDA at all?
Who Owns Life, Not Monsanto?
In Canada food is not labelled, and campaigners have protested to find out what’s in their food by demanding labelling. The National Farmers Union has warned farmers not to buy Monsanto’s GM seeds because of their aggressive attitude. The Government has been unsuccessful in introducing any new GM crops such as wheat, rice, flax, and alfalfa because there was such an uproar by the people who have seen the damage and don’t want any more GM crops. Schmeiser said, “If we’re trying to stop them in the US and especially Canada, why would you want to introduce them in the UK and Europe?” He believes that now the Corporations have lost the ability to introduce any more GMOs in Canada they have turned their attention to other countries in the world. He compared this dominant strategy with the sale of agricultural pesticides and chemicals that have been exported wholesale to Africa and Asia once the North American markets were saturated.Schmeiser's run-in with Monsanto, from beginning to end. One of the questions Schmeiser brought up before the Supreme Court in Canada: " 5. Who owns life? Has anyone, either an individual or a corporation, the right to put a patent on a higher life form?" That is a question that still needs answering, and it is legislators as much as courts who have to decide.
Corporate Monopoly on GM Science
As you may already know, you can’t just go into a store and buy genetically modified (GM) seeds. You have to sign an agreement with the company that produced them, and one of the conditions is that you may not save the seeds from your harvest.What is less well known is that the agreements also prohibit you from using the seeds for research. That may not matter to most farmers, but it is important because it means that research into GM crops can be done only by the biotech companies or with their approval. If they don’t want a particular piece of research carried out, they can refuse permission to use their seeds. Even when they have given permission, if they don’t like the way the research is turning out they can stop it, or prevent the results from being published. Consequently, important decisions on GM crops and all GM organisms (GMOs) are increasingly based on evidence selected by the companies to put them and their products in the best possible light.
Russians cure cancer with small version of Large Hadron Collider?
The treatment process involves focusing the flow of protons, accelerated to the speed of light, into a hair-thin ray, and directing it at the tumor, deputy head of the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Russian Sciences Academy, Yevgeny Levichev, told Life.ru website on Thursday.The elementary particles will only destroy cancer cells, without harming the healthy ones, he said. Researchers also call the device an “ionic scalpel”.
Big Pharma: Smoking in Bed
Today, many in pharma are shocked by the fact that public opinion polls rank the industry close to big tobacco in overall approval ratings. In my view, that shock is well-founded. But the connection has a specific political history of shared alliances and agenda. It does not emerge from nowhere.
Cymbalta, Chantix Makers Busted For Misleading Google Ads
Yesterday, Bnet.com reported that 14 pharma companies had gotten warning letters from the FDA, which noted that the companies were misrepresenting their drugs' indications and were hiding side effect and risk information in various text ads that popped up during Google searches.Among the companies were Eli Lilly and Pfizer, both of whom allegedly aren't giving the public proper risk information in those little text ads and sponsored links thingys that pop up all over the Net.
Seroquel, Wellbutrin Used For Highs In Prison
"Corrections officials throughout the country have long suspected that some inmates were either using the pills to get loaded, or "cheeking" them in order to later sell them to other prisoners to chop up and snort. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic that produces a hypnotic effect, and Wellbutrin is an antidepressant some liken to speed....""'It definitely goes on,' said John Madsen, secretary of the California Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors. 'Say someone is addicted to cocaine but can't get it. They'll try the next best thing. When it comes to drugs, addicts will find themselves doing just about anything.'"
Sen. Grassley Extends Pharma Probe To NAMI
As I noted last year, America's uber mental health advocacy group the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) was getting oodles from pharma companies, including $490,000 from Eli Lilly. What NAMI uses that money for isn't clear to me, but the group does a ton of lobbying on Capitol Hill and of state legislatures throughout the country. NAMI National's annual budget once ran around $12 million and roughly half of that came from pharma companies. Is it any wonder that NAMI never uttered a word of caution or alarm while scandals rolled out around Zyprexa and other atypical antipsychotics?Bloomberg has an article about this: Grassley Probes Financing of Advocacy Group for Mental Health
Inconsistent "AIDS tests" in the news
“Health experts last week warned that in addition to people mistakenly taking only one test, conditions for misuse of rapid diagnostic HIV test kits exist in the country [Uganda] and can lead to deceptive results.” ... Not only “can”, but do and have for a long time.The epidemiology of “HIV” tests among different population groups demonstrates that testing “HIV-positive” may reflect a variety of physiological conditions, many of them by no means health-threatening, let alone life-threatening...
Much data cited in my book and on this blog reinforce the conclusion that “HIV” isn’t sexually transmitted and that having a sexually transmitted disease (chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis) does NOT — contrary to a common HIV/AIDS shibboleth — predispose to becoming “HIV-positive”.
More debate urged after historic HIV murder verdict
“We need to figure out why these charges have escalated from criminal negligence to assault to aggravated sexual assault and now murder without there ever having been an informed public debate,” said Alison Symington, with the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network.Symington would like to see an evaluation of the case by the attorney general and clear guidelines established for prosecutors to know how to proceed with an HIV non-disclosure case. She also wants an open dialogue on the issue.
“Do we as a society think not telling someone you’re living with about a sexually transmitted infection is the equivalent of murder? We really need to stop and have this debate.”
The Crown maintained two women, who can only be identified as H.C. and S.B., were essentially injected with a “slow-acting poison” that destroyed their immune systems and, because they didn’t know Aziga had HIV, they were unable to seek effective treatment, leading to their cancers and to their deaths.
This is despite the fact that no one has described, in a scientific publication, just how HIV is supposed to cause weakening of the immune system, and despite the fact that there is no gold standard against which to measure the HIV tests, because the virus cannot be isolated from those who are said to be "infected".Yes, that debate is indeed necessary.
Cell phones and brain tumors: a review including the long-term epidemiologic data
The results indicate that using a cell phone for more than 10 years approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same ("ipsilateral") side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use.
New Zealand scraps ban on traditional lightbulbs
The standard low cost, low pollution incandescent light bulb had been banned in New Zealand but on Wednesday the NZ Goverment announced an end to the ban.There have been concerns raised around the world about the high-energy costs involved in manufacturing so called "energy efficient" light bulbs along with the potential risks resulting from the use of the toxin Mercury in such bulbs.
