Movie: The Beautiful Truth
Garrett, an Alaskan boy, was home-schooled by his father. His first assignment was to study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson. Written over 50 years ago, Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer. Controversial at the time (and even today), Garrett took on the challenge of researching this amazing therapy, which drew the interest of his neighbors in the small Alaskan community.With the help of Dr. Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte Gerson, and grandson, Howard Strauss, they gave him the ammunition needed to go in search for the truth – a truth that would affect not only him, but his entire Alaskan village – all of whom wanted to know if these claims were true.
After a number of cancer patients, who were diagnosed as terminal, shared their stories and their medical records with Garrett, it became abundantly clear that, contrary to the disinformation campaign spear-headed by the multi-billion dollar medical and pharmaceutical industry, a cure for virtually all cancers and chronic diseases does exist – and has existed for over 80 years!
Birth Defects Linked to Low Vitamin B12
Women with low levels of vitamin B12 have up to five times the normal risk of having a baby with a major birth defect, new research shows.Vegans and women who eat little or no meat, fish, eggs, milk or cheese are at the highest risk, as are women with stomach or intestinal problems, including inflammatory bowel disease, that keep them from absorbing enough B12.
Study: Honey can kill superbugs
Associate Professor Dee Carter, from Sydney University's School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences said: "Our research is the first to clearly show that these honey-based products could in many cases replace antibiotic creams on wounds and equipment such as catheters. Using honey as an intermediate treatment could also prolong the life of antibiotics.""Most bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one antibiotic, and there is an urgent need for new ways to treat and control surface infections."
Tryptophan deficiency may underlie quinine side effects
Researchers have found that the anti-malarial drug quinine can block a cell's ability to take up the essential amino acid tryptophan, a discovery that may explain many of the adverse side-effects associated with quinine. Once confirmed, these findings would suggest that dietary tryptophan supplements could be a simple and inexpensive way to improve the performance of this important drug.
The Dangers of Blood Transfusion: Reconsidering Needless Surgeries
Researchers at the University of Michigan studied 9218 persons aged 65 or older who had coronary bypass surgery. They learned that patients who had received blood transfusions were five times more likely to die2 within 100 days of the surgery than patients who were not transfused. More than 66% of the men and 88% of the women having this operation receive blood transfusions. Women had a nine-percent death rate within 100 days of this operation, but only six percent of men die in the same time interval. The primary cause for death in these bypass patients is infection at a site unrelated to the operative procedure.The odds on developing an infection were three times higher in bypass patients who had received a blood transfusion when compared to patients who were not transfused during the surgery. The more units of blood transfused, the greater the risk of infection.
NEW ARTCHITECTURE IN MODERN MEDICINE

So, there is no such thing as safe drugs, only doses deemed "safe" and their use is based on their benefit/risk profile unlike non-toxic preparations or formulations that are made from edible substances. It is not surprising therefore, that thousands of patients worldwide suffer adverse drug reactions, enough in numbers to create a specialist post-graduate training in this field. Many of such adverse reactions are due to or related to the damage of adhesion molecules and the healing approach lies in a cocktail of natural antioxidants not more drugs. Drugs cannot perform biological repair of cell membranes or promote genetic repair or promote the production of repair proteins or elevate the blood antioxidant levels in the patient.
The Powers of the Codex Alimentarius Commission
The propaganda may be trying to propagate that Codex Alimentarius is all about “consumer protection” but looking at its stated purposes it is obvious that it wants to exert itself whether by control of some form or through guidelines to extend its tentacles to ensure fair trade and practices in the food trade as well as to promote coordination of all food standards and includes whether your papadams must be crispy or soft. Codex is set to govern every aspect and standard of every food! Next they may want to create guidelines on curries and how curries might be spiced.
Is an FDA-Sanctioned Monopoly for Weight Loss Supplements in the Wings?
GlaxoSmithKline has also asked the FDA to create a monopoly for them on all weight loss supplements. If the FDA grants Glaxo’s request, the only weight loss aid that will be left for you to use is one made by Glaxo, which is now being investigated for causing liver damage—and this is after it went through the FDA’s drug approval process!Glaxo wants the FDA to grant it a monopoly by ruling that any weight loss claim is a disease claim. Since supplements cannot make disease claims that would eliminate all supplement competition at a stroke. Since there are no other approved drugs for weight loss, there wouldn’t even be drug competition.
Three-acre organic farm appears in the middle of New York Harbor
Governors Island is an island in New York Harbor not far from the Brooklyn waterfront. It was an army base for almost two hundred years and then a Coast Guard base for a few decades after that. It was decomissioned in 2001 and since that time various redevelopment plans have been proposed for it. But this is the best plan yet.The organic three-acre farm, one of a handful of commercial organic farms within the five boroughs, is a collaboration between the corporation and a Brooklyn nonprofit group called Added Value, which teaches teenagers about sustainable and local food by training them to work on urban farms.
Campaign to defend Poland's rich natural traditions
Countries like Poland and others in Eastern Europe spent decades escaping from repressive regimes and were seduced into joining the European Union with promises of democratic freedom and technological advancement. In less than five years since their accession to the EU, those promises now seem hollow. Sovereignty has virtually been lost and been replaced by an authoritarian unelected bureaucracy based in Brussels, whilst the agricultural economy, which was based on diverse small scale farming communities, is increasingly being replaced with large scale agri-business, typified by the arrival in Poland of the US pork-giant Smithfield Foods.
Oral THC Improves Symptoms Of Schizophrenia
Daily administration of oral synthetic THC significantly improves symptoms of schizophrenia, according to the findings of an open-label case series published this month in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology.
US censors selenium cancer prevention information
ANH approached Jonathan Emord, for his personal comment. Emord said:“These two decisions confirm that censorship reigns supreme in the Obama FDA. Brazenly, the Agency did not even cite, let alone apply, the standard of First Amendment review Judge Gladys Kessler commanded FDA to use in Whitaker v. Thompson I. Instead, FDA engaged in political censorship of scientific speech, discounting supporting evidence based on contrived arguments and exaggerating nonsupporting evidence to be the equal of contradictory evidence, which it was not. The federal courts mandated that FDA adopt the qualified health claims regime to remove FDA from the unconstitutional business of censoring speech concerning the potential of nutrients to affect disease risk. FDA has flouted that direction, has effectively reabsorbed the qualified health into the unqualified health claim regime, and has moved back to constitutionally infirm absolute censorship as its lode-stone for decision. FDA has become a court of star chamber. It views itself as above the law”.
ANH challenges science used to justify mass fluoridation of water supply
While most Europeans aren’t forced to endure fluoride in their tap water, some government authorities, including those of Ireland and the UK, as well as the USA and Australia, think everyone should be mass medicated with fluoride.The ANH makes the case that mass fluoridation cannot be regarded as an acceptable practice given the health risks, particularly to children. What's more, it's being used as a medicine and no health authority has ever put fluoride through a proper risk/benefit assessment as used for the registration of conventional drugs.
CHEMICALS AND DISEASE CONDITIONS

But the average individual may not know that in 1989 alone, more than 1,000,000,000 pounds of chemicals were released into the ground, contaminating our farmlands and drinking waters. Over 188,000,000 pounds of chemicals were also discharged into surface waters such as lakes and rivers. More than 2,400,000,000 pounds of chemicals were pumped into the air we breathe. A grand total of 5,705,670,380 pounds of chemical pollutants were released into the environment that we eat, breathe, and live in—all in just one year...
FDA Scrutinizes Acetaminophen's Liver Risk
(link from stephentvedten.blogspot.com - blog censored by Blogger. Check out his other site at http://www.stephentvedten.com/ )
Acetaminophen is the most commonly used painkiller in the country and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will scrutinize its safety record today in the shadow of concerns that people taking too much of it are damaging their livers.Research has shown that hundreds of Americans each year experience acute liver failure as a result of taking acetaminophen -- widely known under the brand name Tylenol -- and about 100 people die annually from overdosing on the painkiller, either intentionally or unintentionally.
FDA Panel Votes To Ban Percocet, Vicodin
An FDA advisory panel yesterday voted to recommend a ban on the widely-prescribed painkillers Percocet and Vicodin. Percocet (and its kissing cousin Endocet) is actually a combination of Oxycodone, an almost century-old opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine, and acetaminophen. Vicodin is a narcotic analgesic product containing hydrocodone, derived from codeine and thebaine, and acetaminophen. The FDA panel was convened to advise the FDA on how to address tens of thousands of cases of liver damage each year connected to patients taking high doses of acetaminophen either in OTC products like Tylenol or in prescription painkillers like Percocet as well as in cold remedies containing acetaminophen.
US: Healthcare industry spending $1.4 million – a day – on lobbyists
The healthcare industry is spending upwards of $1.4 million each day on average to lobby members of Congress on health care legislation, a report issued by Common Cause this week reveals.Industry spending has nearly doubled since 2000.
The report concludes that members of Congress face a disheartening conflict of interest: side with their large campaign donors or back reform measures that have support from the public...
Video: Dr John Rengen Virapen, Whistleblower of the Psychopathic Pharmaceutical Industry, Speaks Out
Dr John Rengen Virapen is a former scientist who after 35 years of work in the pharmaceutical industry (Eli Lilly) has left it to warn the public of the nefarious dealings and motives of the pharmaceutical industry.
Antibiotics Injected Into Chicken Eggs is Making Canadians Resistant to Meds
Surveillance information from the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance (CIPARS), which is funded by the public health agency, "strongly indicates that cephalosporin resistance in humans is moving in lockstep with use of the drug in poultry production".Cephalosporin is not approved for use in chickens or eggs, but it is often "robotically injected" into eggs at chicken hatcheries as a preventative measure to stave off infections, reports the CMAJ. This occurs on an off- or extra-label basis, which means that the drug is being used for unapproved reasons.
Flu Shot Linked to Cancer
Receipt of a flu shot increases the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by 53%, follicular lymphoma by 98% percent, and diffuse large B cell lymphoma by 88%.It is unclear whether receiving regular annual flu shots under the CDC’s recommended schedule further compounds the risk of cancer over a single dose influenza jab.
Last month, other research was released showing that children who get the flu vaccine are three times more likely to be hospitalized for the flu. Children with asthma are even more likely to be hospitalized when they are vaccinated.
Journalist Files Charges against WHO and UN for Bioterrorism
In her charges, Burgermeister presents evidence of acts of bioterrorism that is in violation of U.S. law by a group operating within the U.S. under the direction of international bankers who control the Federal Reserve, as well as WHO, UN and NATO. This bioterrorism is for the purpose of carrying out a mass genocide against the U.S. population by use of a genetically engineered flu pandemic virus with the intent of causing death.
SWINE FLU: NEW PANDEMIC OR JUST MAKIN' BACON?
The vaccine industry seems to be trying to imitate the music industry these days. Within our devolving species, as people's brains become more and more saturated with hydrogenateds, they become easier to fool. Today any loud noise is music, in media any loud story is true, and with vaccines, any vaccine is scientific and effective. Doesn't matter that it's impossible to create immunity with a vaccine that is choosing 2 or 3 strains from hundreds, and pretending to confer specific immunity. Doesn't matter that the disease the vaccine is for has never been shown to actually exist. The media says it exists and that the vaccine will work -- that's as discriminating as the American public gets.
The swine flu epidemic: Strong cure, no disease
Everyone knows that HIV causes AIDS, but until about a decade ago no one knew that. We believe that HIV causes AIDS because the doctors tell us it does. It’s gospel. They might amputate the wrong limb, or misdiagnose cervical cancer, or cause 25% of pensioners to be hospitalised through misprescription of drugs, but they couldn’t blunder about a thing like AIDS. Could they? Well, yes they could. The phantom swine flu epidemic of 1976 proves that it is possible. The very same people who gave America the swine flu scare gave the world the AIDS epidemic just five years later...
US: Federal Circuit Reverses Denial of Vaccine Injury Claim
A recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision reversing the U.S. Court of Federal Claims' denial of a vaccine injury claim highlights the widening gulf between the Federal Circuit and Federal Claims court on vaccine cases.In the US, vaccine cases are tried in special courts and the tendency of those courts is to uphold vaccine policy of the government, with as little compensation as possible. This one was a "normal" court decision that revised the previous judgement of the special vaccine compensation court.
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF RESISTANCE TO MANDATORY VACCINATIONS
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION checklist for influenza pandemic preparedness planning: Section 1.5.1 Legal and ethical issues -'During a pandemic, it may be necessary to overrule existing legislation or (individual) human rights. Examples are the enforcement of quarantine (overruling individual freedom of movement), use of privately owned buildings for hospitals, off-license use of drugs, compulsory vaccination or implementation of emergency shifts in essential services. These decisions need a legal framework to ensure transparent assessment and justification of the measures that are being considered, and to ensure coherence with international legislation (International Health Regulations).
There is no forensic evidence showing the H1N1 virus as the direct cause of death in those who have died after contracting the virus (144 to date). The majority of deaths are caused by pre-existing complications and auto-immune deficiencies. Countries with low quality of health have the greatest number of fatal cases. Based on the Center for Disease Control's own guidelines H1N1 related symptoms are virtually indistinguishable from those of the common seasonal flu, and severity is comparable to mild seasonal flu...
Financial Industry Receives 10 Times More Money in 1 year than Poor Countries Receive in 49 Years
The United Nations Millennium Campaign today released an analysis showing that since the inception of aid (overseas development assistance) almost 50 years ago, donor countries have given some $2 trillion in aid. And yet over the past year, $18 trillion has been found globally to bail out banks and other financial institutions. The amount of total aid over the past 49 years represents just eleven percent of the money found for financial institutions in one year.- - -
