Aids Rethinkers to meet in Oakland - NewsGrabs Wednesday, 23 September 2009
Pandemics lurk on every corner - there's Aids, SARS, the Bird Flu, the Swine Flu, and various others that have not made such a deep impression on the public mind. The "fear factor" makes us accept what we would normally question, like toxic drugs (AZT and Tamiflu) and the barbaric practice of vaccination.
However, the exaggerations needed to instil that fear in us become transparent and the fear mongers stand to lose the support of the medical profession. Thus the push needed to bring about our fear may be a key to reforming medicine. Having gone over the top, the fear mongers become vulnerable to exposure of their real agendas...
AIDS DISSIDENTS ANNOUNCE RA 2009 CONFERENCE PROGRAMSan Francisco (Rethinking AIDS) September 21, 2009 -- The Rethinking AIDS 2009 conference is proud to announce its program, including keynote speaker Michael Tracey and a screening of the controversial new documentary 'House of Numbers'. Numerous scientists, doctors, activists and HIV-positive people will be in attendance from November 6 - 8th at the Waterfront Plaza Hotel in Oakland. Media are invited to all conference sessions including the film screening.
This conference will question all aspects of the HIV=AIDS=Death theory, including the accuracy of HIV tests, the safety and efficacy of AIDS drugs, the non-likelihood of sexual transmission, the social and legal consequences and even the very existence of HIV.
These skeptics claim HIV/AIDS is the biggest medical catastrophe ever adopted by the medical-pharmaceutical establishment. They have evidence that those supposedly dying of AIDS are really dying from pre-existing diseases, well-known health risks such as drug abuse and malnutrition, the psychological stress of a fatal diagnosis and the AIDS medicines themselves...
Irish Health Trade Group challenges UK Press over biased reporting
ANH Comment:
It is of great concern to us that the negative stories that appear in the press so often appear to be about studies that you get the feeling are ‘designed’ to fail, with inappropriate doses and combinations of synthetic nutrients, and the negative ‘spin’ often takes even the researchers themselves by surprise. It is particularly interesting to hear that respected professors and academics are unhappy about the way their views had been “represented in the papers”...
Video: Vitamin D - You need itThis was posted as a comment on an older article on this site, and I would like to draw attention to it here.
According to a current stream of research, the natural pH in the human body fluctuates, over a 24 hour period, between alkalosis and acidosis. If this oscillation did not occur, it would be impossible for the various biochemical processes in the body to take place and metabolism would grind to a halt. This ebb and flow in our pH is precisely what drives the engine of biological life.
Oppose FDA Declaration of Electroshock Safety
The US Food and Drug Administration is in charge of regulating medical devices just as it does drugs, including the machines used to give Electroshock. But it's not doing its job. It has allowed these machines to be used on millions of patients over the past generation without requiring any evidence whatsoever that shock treatment is safe or effective!
Big anti-GM protest in Germany
Thousands of protesters took to the streets against GM yesterday (Sunday, Sept. 13), in the southern German town of Ulm (in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg). The protest kicked of with a tractor demonstration involving 120 vehicles. The event was themed "Diversity feeds the world" and included a huge GM-free food festival. The protesters called for a ban of GMOs in farming in Germany, for both cultivation and feed.This article and a number of other recent news items on the issue of genetically modified organisms collected on the dr. Rath Foundation's site show that international resistance keeps building against the plan to monopolize our food supply through patentable (genetically modified) seeds which form the backbone of big agro multinationals' takeover strategy.
Vitamin C deficiency worse than feared
Vitamin C deficiency is becoming increasingly common. A University of Toronto study, led by Leah Cahill, found that 1 in 7 of young non-smoking Canadian adults had serum vitamin C deficiency. In the US, 15% of adults are estimated to be deficient. A quarter of a century ago, this figure was only about 3 – 5%. In Mexico, the percentage of women who were vitamin C deficient was estimated in 2003, to be as high as 40%, which may have serious clinical implications for their babies and children.
Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why.
Behind the scenes, however, MK-869 was starting to unravel. True, many test subjects treated with the medication felt their hopelessness and anxiety lift. But so did nearly the same number who took a placebo, a look-alike pill made of milk sugar or another inert substance given to groups of volunteers in clinical trials to gauge how much more effective the real drug is by comparison. The fact that taking a faux drug can powerfully improve some people's health—the so-called placebo effect—has long been considered an embarrassment to the serious practice of pharmacology.
Doctors' speeches on brand-name drugs can net thousands
Boca Raton psychiatrist Donna Holland spent a day this month in San Antonio talking to doctors about the hyperactivity drug Strattera for manufacturer Eli Lilly and Co.Her pay for that 45-minute speech: $1,500 plus expenses.
She's one of 24 doctors in Broward and Palm Beach counties who were paid a total of $200,000 in speaking fees from Lilly in the first three months of 2009.
I suppose you can all say "conflict of interest"...
Pfizer paid agency thousands to boost drug sales, suit claims
Pfizer Inc. paid the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill [a group posing as a grassroots patient advocacy - Sepp] hundreds of thousands of dollars and its former president thousands more, turning the organization into a “Trojan horse” for an illegal marketing scheme that helped boost the schizophrenia drug Geodon's sales by millions of dollars a year, according to a lawsuit unsealed this week.
Gardasil and Cervarix: Vaccination insanity
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 20 million Americans are infected with HPV. There are 6.2 million new infections each year. The CDC says that at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women get an HPV infection at some time in their life. The American Social Health Association says HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus and puts that number at 75 percent or more.”Yet while these “infections” are so common as to be virtually routine, almost no one contracts the diseases that these infections supposedly cause:
“The CDC says that although HPV is very common in both sexes, most men won’t develop symptoms or serious health problems, and there is no test to detect the virus in men.
Yet there is talk about giving that vaccine to boys as well as girls. Another profitable pharmaceutical product that prevents .... nothing, except perhaps financial hardship for the producer.
Dr. Andrew Moulden: What You Were Never Told About Vaccines
"Through my extensive research and my work throughout the years, I have discovered that vaccinations are causing impaired blood flow (ischemia) to brain and body from clinically silent to death. These are strokes – across the board for all of us. I have reason to believe that all are being affected and all vaccinations ARE causing the overwhelming rise in autism, specific learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, sudden infant death, gulf war syndrome, dementia, seizure disorders, some cancers it would appear, and much much more."
Swine flu death rate similar to seasonal flu: expert
"It's mildest in kids. That's one of the really good pieces of news in this pandemic," Lipsitch told a meeting of flu experts being held by the U.S. Institute of Medicine."Barring any changes in the virus, I think we can say we are in a category 1 pandemic. This has not become clear until fairly recently."
The Pandemic Severity Index set by the U.S. government has five categories of pandemic, with a category 1 being comparable to a seasonal flu epidemic.
Ignore the health scare professionals: you won't die of swine flu
I don’t really blame the pharmaceutical companies: they’re doing what all big corporations aim to do, namely to maximise their profits. But I do blame the politicians who are falling for it. Ministers must suspect that the danger is being exaggerated. Yet they would rather spend gazillions than run the slightest risk of being accused of not having done enough. And, needless to say, there isn’t a medical advisory body in the world that will say: “Actually, minister, considering everything in the round, the danger posed by this virus is minor, and we recommend the disbandment of this panel”.
Health care workers often shun flu shot
... nearly 50 percent of the nation's health care workers also ignore the reminder, often for the same reasons. They think they don't need it, doubt its efficacy or are convinced the vaccine carries risks of dangerous side effects.Well - they should know about side effects ... which through reporting bias remain largely unreported and thus unknown to large segments of the public.
CDC: First swine flu vaccines may be nasal spray
Currently it looks like all of them will be a nasal spray vaccine that is approved only for healthy people ages 2 to 49, said Dr. Jay Butler, an official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The nasal spray, called FluMist, is not recommended for some of the people most in danger of severe swine flu complications.I seem to recall that nasal sprays, which use live attenuated virus, carry a danger of producing mutations in the virus - hmmm, why would they put out such a dangerous vaccine as the first step?
Preparing for the Real Pandemic
I believe that the real pandemic is about to be unleashed through the very vaccines being pushed by governments and pharmaceutical giants like Novartis and Glaxo Smith Kline. The shots will be the cause, not the cure, of the pandemic.
USA: Senate Hearings Held on Dangers of Cell Phone Use
But new research is serving as a wake-up call. The Environmental Working Group is warning that using a cell phone for 10 years or more significantly increases a person's risk for certain types of brain cancer."The studies are showing 50 [to] 90 percent increased risk for those rare tumors," said Jane Houlihan of the Environmental Working Group.
The study shows children are especially vulnerable, as their thinner skulls provide less protection and they absorb twice the radiation as adults.
HIV/AIDS priorities and other flaws
The hysteria over HIV/AIDS has meant that for nigh on two decades the world has been duped into considering the need for antiretroviral drugs to be the most urgent health issue in Africa, when even by official estimates HIV/AIDS takes only 1.5% of the African babies who die before the age of 5. On the other hand, it’s been shown that the simple and inexpensive act of providing mosquito nets can reduce drastically the incidence of malaria, which kills 5 times as many babies as HIV/AIDS is supposed to. Better sanitation, cleaner drinking water, and vitamin supplements to combat malnutrition could save an even larger number of babies than would the providing of mosquito nets.
VIRUSGATE?
It is unlikely that such a virus had been “circulating undetected among swine herds somewhere in the world.” And it is unlikely that pigs were the source of the current human pandemic, not even a remote potential. They have not yet seen this new virus infecting swine.The researchers confirm that the new virus is an “odd mixture of human, pig and bird genes” and their study on the genetic code sequencing of the 70 samples from the US and Mexico confirm that this new virus is a mixture of genes from human, pig and bird genes as it is possible to determine where each of those genes originate.
