The Power of Turmeric - NewsGrabs Monday, 12 October 2009
A good collection of what turmeric (curcumin) can do for our health, including how to possibly increase absorption. I believe the Indians had it right all along - cooking delicious meals with turmeric-containing curry powder... and here is an interesting take on the mechanism by which turmeric contrasts cancer: Cancer: The ATP-Photon Hypothesis
Higher folate levels can reduce hearing loss risk in men
The study, which identified 3,559 cases of men with hearing loss, found that there was no beneficial association with increased intakes of antioxidant vitamins such as C, E, and beta carotene. However, the authors found that men over the age of 60 who have a high intake of foods and supplement high in folates have a 20 percent decrease in risk of developing hearing loss.
Health Claims in Europe: Neutering freedom of speech
We regard this Regulation as probably the greatest infringement of freedom of speech to impact the health food industry anywhere in the world. Check it out for yourself. What we see in Europe is set to be exported elsewhere in the world through the big business-influence, intergovernmental organisation that is the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
Unlawful interference and threats led to Irish voting ‘Yes’ on Lisbon Treaty
On this occasion, however, following unlawful political interference from the EU Commission; widespread threats and lies to the Irish electorate - including propaganda that a ‘No’ vote would condemn Ireland to economic isolation; corporate interference from the likes of Ryanair (who spent half a million euros campaigning for a ‘Yes’), Intel (who spent several hundred thousand) and multi-billion euro drug company Pfizer (who openly warned of a “flight of capital” from Ireland if it voted ‘No’); and, not least of all, the blatant sweeping away of Ireland’s guidelines on media impartiality, the Irish people voted ‘Yes’.
28 Countries now report flax contamination by GM pollen
GM flax is not approved for human consumption in the following 28 countries where contamination has now reached: Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Finland, France, Greece, Romania, Portugal, Iceland, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Mauritius. Companies are removing products from the market as the GM flax has been found in cereals, bakery products, bakery mixtures and nut/seed products. 9 GM flax contamination notices have been filed so far through the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed.European authorities have named the source of contamination as the GM flax "Triffid", which was developed in Canada but was deregistered in 2001 and has been illegal to sell since that time.
LA Times: Proportion of 8-year-olds diagnosed with autism is up 50% in 2 years, CDC says
About 1 in 100 of America's 8-year-olds have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers, who will be releasing details of their study later this year.That's a 50% increase from two years ago, when the government estimated the rate at 1 in 150.
Just a while ago - a few months - I remember hearing "There is no autism epidemic", and "it's all because of more diagnostics" and "mercury has nothing to do with it". That story seems to be rapidly falling apart.
Study: Large Percentage Of Bipolar Disorder Cases "Resolve Spontaneously" By Mid-30s
A fascinating and possibly very important study came out in August in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It concerns bipolar disorder and its course across human lifespans and the study's conclusion that many cases of bipolar disorder "resolve spontaneously"--the authors' term, not mine - by the latter half of the third decade of life is both startling and not surprising to me because I've been making a similar argument about the disorder's natural course for a long time. It's also not surprising to me that this study has gotten almost zero press attention - its primary finding goes so against the grain of what health reporters think they know about mental disorders and so against the grain of what psychiatry claims about bipolar disorder that it's almost an untouchable subject.

Top researcher who worked on cervical cancer vaccine warns about its dangers
Dr Harper, who has written many of the published medical papers about the jab, is so concerned she decided to speak out.Dr Harper, of the University of Missouri-Kansas, said she believed the risks – “small but real” – could be worse than the risk of developing cancer itself.
And she claimed: “All this jab will do is prevent girls getting some abnormalities associated with cervical cancer which can be treated. It will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all.
“Parents need to know this and that in a small number of cases there are serious side effects.”
Could Hepatitis B Vaccine Be Harmful?
The study found the unvaccinated animals developed normally, while the vaccinated monkeys demonstrated the survival reflex delays. According to one of the lead investigators, Dr. Laura Hewitson of the University of Pittsburgh, “Infants of lower birth weight and gestational age were at greater risk.”The study, published last week in the scientific journal NeuroToxicology, was not designed to determine whether it was the thimerosal or another component of the vaccine that caused the observed delays.
“We undertook these experiments largely because we were unable to find any safety studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated animals,” said another study author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield of Thoughtful House, which provides resources for children with developmental disorders.
Brain damage follows HPV vaccination in UK
A teenage girl has been left brain-damaged after suffering epileptic seizures just days after being given the controversial cervical cancer jab. Stacey Jones, 18, suffered her first seizure in March when she was 17, days after she had the Cervarix injection. In the following weeks she had several more fits, causing such severe brain injury that she had to be admitted to a rehabilitation unit, where she is relearning simple tasks.
ANH: Urgent call for HPV vaccine inquiry
Executive Director of the Alliance for Natural Health, Robert Verkerk, stated; “Presently, there are no adequate data available on the comparative risks of Cervarix and Gardasil. Nor is there adequate information on the factors which may predispose certain individuals to serious adverse reactions, or on the duration and effectiveness of immunity following single and multiple vaccinations. It is in the public interest that these key questions be answered urgently by an independent review panel”.
USA: Lawsuit filed against FDA to halt swine flu vaccines
"The suit will seek an injunction against the FDA from approving the vaccine," attorney Jim Turner told NaturalNews on Thursday evening's Natural News Talk Hour show. "And the core of the argument is that they have not done the proper safety and efficacy tests on the vaccine to allow it to be release at this time."

Scientist, Medical Doctor, Professor, Dr. Andrew Moulden, discusses how the medical system and science are failing society by causing more harm than good.
Flu Shots Delayed in Canada
An unpublished Canadian study that suggests getting an annual flu shot may make it easier to contract swine flu has caused most provincial governments in Canada to postpone or limit seasonal-flu vaccination programs.
VACCINE POISON
Many people around the world now know that the modern medical system maims and kills an extraordinary number of human beings every year. The largest cause of those deaths and injuries is pharmaceutical drugs.These drugs contain toxic substances. But nothing as obvious as what some vaccines still contain: MERCURY.
In preparation for the Swine Flu vaccine, the state of Washington is allowing more mercury in that vaccine.
Video: How did the H1N1 virus get into the United States?
Wayne Madsen reports that scientists researching the Spanish flu epidemic from 1918 may have intentionally or accidentally manipulated genetic material to create the H1N1 virus that exists today.
The Great Swine Flu Boondoggle
Appearing suddenly in April, the origins of the virus have either not been discovered or are known but not being revealed to the general public. Writing for the Institute of Science in Society, Professor Adrian Gibbs and Dr. Jean Downie have studied the gene sequences of the H1N1 virus and determined the virus is a combination unlike any seen in the past.Furthermore, none of the genes that make up the virus have been seen for a long time. It appears to be a combination of Swine flu not seen in North America in more than a decade and Avian flu found in Europe but never in North America.
Gibbs and Downie posit the virus emanated either from a vaccine made specifically for pigs, accidentally from an infected human working for a drug company or intentionally released into the Mexican population.
How To Cure Disease
The very best cure for sickness and disease is Infection Prevention. Do not merely continue to "treat" the various symptom(s) but actually start to remove the true cause(s) of the problem! Let us begin to learn how to safely and far more effectively control the various pest organisms that can and do adversely affect our health.
Why pregnant women tend to test “HIV-positive”
It is vital to bear in mind — always, not only in this connection! — that testing “HIV-positive” does not signify the presence of a specific agent, still less the presence of an human immunodeficiency virus.Empirical fact: Pregnant women test “HIV-positive” more frequently than others.
Empirical fact: In several groups, Th1→Th2 shift is associated with a tendency to test “HIV-positive”.
Empirical fact: Normal, healthy pregnancy induces a Th1→Th2 shift.
The higher frequency of “HIV-positive” tests among pregnant women may be nothing more than a natural consequence of pregnancy
Aids: Taking Life Positively
"When I met my husband, I was very sick and my CD4 count was just below 200. With my determination to live positively and to make my newly found love work, I resorted to healthy eating, doing exercises and as you can see today I look perfectly healthy", she also said, "I will invite you to my house at Molepolole and you will find me busy in my garden or doing household work and others," said Phuthe.She told the Monitor that since she was diagnosed with HIV, she is not taking anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) as she believes in eating healthily especially fruits and vegetables as well as doing physical exercises. "The problem is that most HIV positive people don't know how to eat well and take proper care of themselves.
Still Not Convinced HIV Is Bogus?
So AIDS was the disease, and HIV the cause. All it took was a press conference at the CDC to make this story canonical. The CDC was saved, and a new multi-billion dollar industry was born. God help us when a bureaucrat is threatened with losing his job. Even one who has taken the Hippocratic Oath.In the years since the CDC pronouncement every single person who has tried to question the official story, rather than being lauded for taking the scientific method seriously, has instead been attacked and dismissed as a kook. Still, with nearly 30 years of history in the rear-view mirror, it is becoming more and more apparent that there is something very wrong with the official story.
