Pass the Mustard, or Just Pass on the Hot Dog?
More hot dogs are eaten at the 4th of July holiday than at any other time of the year. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (yes, an all-too-real trade organization) says that "during the Independence Day weekend, 155 million will be gobbled up" and that Americans will consume more than seven billion hot dogs over the summer. "Every year," they proudly proclaim, "Americans eat an average of 60 hot dogs each."

What the article doesn't say (probably assuming everyone knows...) is that mustard contains curcumin, which is an anti-cancer agent.

"The next time you have a hot dog, don't forget to load it up with mustard. Research over 50 years has shown that the substance in mustard can prevent and treat cancer. This comes from the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas and is not some 'dicey' miracle cure that will set you back thousands of dollars and probably not work. This amazing stuff costs nearly nothing and you may have some in your cupboard or refrigerator right now."

Antioxidants help arteries stay healthy
"Antioxidant supplementation significantly increased large and small artery elasticity in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. This beneficial vascular effect was associated with an improvement in glucose and lipid metabolism as well as significant decrease in blood pressure".

UK: Major Cancer Charity to Admit It Was Wrong About Suntanning!
Hold onto your hat! Cancer Research UK is about to change its advice on suntanning! After more than 20 years of warning people to avoid the sun's rays as deadly and to coat themselves in toxic sunscreens, the premier cancer charity will soon start advising people that they should catch some rays.

Unfortunately, they can't seem to get it all right. They're still going to tell people to slather the sunscreen lotion on. But, hey! At least they're going to get part of it right. For a change.

Environmental Illness: Urgent Appeal to European Environment, Health Ministers
Greatly concerned, participants noted the increasing prevalence of chronic multisystem illnesses such as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CSF), fibromyalgia (FMS) as well as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, auto immune diseases, and cancer.

At the conference it was impressively demonstrated that these chronic diseases are based on similar pathological mechanisms. Common mechanisms are chronic inflammatory processes influenced by environmental factors including chemical pollutants, biological infectious agents, and electromagnetic field (EMF) triggers.

Video: A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY
a film by Kevin P. Miller
In this patriotic and sentimental film, international award winning Writer/Director Kevin P. Miller (GENERATION RX, WE BECOME SILENT) exposes how Canadians are being stripped of their personal sovereignty by government agencies — and how free trade deals and other international agreements imperil Canadian democracy.

Quietly, over a period of many years, unconstitutional legislation encompassed in Bills C-51, C-6, and the current Bill C-36 have placed not only basic civil liberties and freedoms at risk, but Canada's national sovereignty as well. The film shares how entangling alliances with groups like the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, Codex Alimentarius, the United States and even multinational corporate interests have become so powerful that they literally threaten to make elected officials in Parliament irrelevant.

A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY discusses why this dramatic shift in the balance of power puts the nation and its people at a vital crossroad early in the 21st century — and why some of the past giants of Canadian politics may hold the answers to Canada's future.

How easy is it to fake ADHD?
Very easy. All you need is 5 minutes with Google!

A comment from Vince Boehm: In answer to the question this article poses, it is absurdly easy to fake a mental illness because labeling of this sort depends almost exclusively on self-disclosure.

In 1972, a psychologist named David Rosenhan convinced some of his friends to fake their way into psychiatric wards across the US.

The pseudopatients were to present themselves and say words along these lines: "I am hearing a voice. It is saying thud." Rosenhan specifically chose this complaint because nowhere in psychiatric literature are there any reports of any person hearing a voice that contains such obvious cartoon angst.

Upon further questioning, the eight pseudopatients were to answer honestly, save for name and occupation. They were to feign no other symptoms. Once on the ward, if admitted, they were immediately to say that the voice had disappeared and that they now felt fine. Rosenhan then gave his confederates a lesson in managing medication, how to avoid swallowing it by slipping it under the tongue, so it could later be blurted back to the toilet bowl.

Once in the admissions unit, Rosenhan was led to a small white room. "What is the problem?" a psychiatrist asked.

"I'm hearing a voice," Rosenhan said, and then he said nothing else.

"And what is the voice saying?" the psychiatrist questioned, falling, unbeknown to him, straight into Rosenhan's rabbit hole.

"Thud," Rosenhan said, smugly, I imagine.

"Thud?" the psychiatrist asked. "Did you say thud?"
"Thud," Rosenhan said again.

Rosenhan was led down a long hallway. Across the country, the eight other pseudopatients were also being admitted. Rosenhan must have been scared, exhilarated. He was a journalist, a scientist at the apex, putting his body on the line for knowledge. He was taken to a room and told to undress.

"When will I get out?" we can imagine Rosenhan asked, his voice perhaps rising now, some panic here - what had he done, my God.

"When you are well," a doctor answered, or something to this effect. But he was well: 110 over 80, a pulse of 72, a temperature that hovered in the mid-zone of moderate, homeostatic, a machine well greased. It didn't matter. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and kept for many days.

The strange thing was, the other patients seemed to know that Rosenhan was normal, even while the doctors did not. One young man, coming up to Rosenhan in the dayroom, said "You're not crazy. You're a journalist or a professor." Another said, "You're checking up on the hospital."

And then one day, for a reason as arbitrary as his admission, he was discharged.

Rosenhan's paper describing his findings, On Being Sane In Insane Places, was published in Science, where it burst like a bomb on the world of psychiatry.

The experiment was greeted with outrage, and then, at last, a challenge. "All right," said one hospital, its institutional chest all puffed up. "You think we don't know what we're doing? Here's a dare. In the next three months, send as many pseudopatients as you like to our emergency room and we'll detect them. Go ahead."

Now, Rosenhan liked a fight. So he said, "Sure." He said in the next three months he would send an undisclosed number of pseudopatients to this particular hospital, and the staff were to judge, in a sort of experimental reversal, not who was insane, but who was sane. One month passed. Two months passed. At the end of three months, the hospital staff reported to Rosenhan that they had detected, with a high degree of confidence, 41 of Rosenhan's pseudopatients. Rosenhan had, in fact, sent none. Case closed. Match over. Psychiatry hung its head.

In the 1970s, Spitzer and a group of colleagues completely revised the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Disorders, or DSM for short, tightening the diagnostic criteria, taking away from it signs of subjectivity and psychobabble... "No," repeats Spitzer, "that experiment could never be successfully repeated. Not in this day and age."

Case Closed.

Dumbing Down Society Part I: Foods, Beverages and Meds
Is there a deliberate effort by the government to dumb down the masses? The statement is hard to prove but there exists a great amount of data proving that the ruling elite not only tolerates, but effectively introduces policies that have a detrimental effect on the physical and mental health of the population. This series of articles looks at the many ways the modern man is being dumbed down. Part I looks at the poisons found in everyday foods, beverages and medications.

Why are Bees Dying? Your Cell Phone May Hold a Clue
The researchers fitted cellphones to a hive and activated them for specific lengths of time. After three months of the experiment, honey production ceased, the queen laid half as many eggs, and the hive population dropped. Andrew Goldsworthy a British biologist told CNN that a pigment called cryptochrome, which the bees use for navigation and is compromised by cellphone radiation and affects the insects ability to find their hives.

But he suggests the solution would be to change cellphone frequency so it wouldn't harm the bees. "It's possible to modify the signal coming from the [cell] phones and the base station in such a way that it doesn't produce the frequencies that disturb the cryptochrome molecules," Goldsworthy said.

What Causes Obesity?
He finally found that the cause of obesity disease is a damaged gland in the brain. This gland is called the hypothalamus and it controls such things as fat storage and metabolism. If the hypothalamus becomes damaged it will send out wrong signals to every part of the body. These signals cause the body to store fat. The body will never go into those fat stores unless that gland is healed or the body is exposed to some extreme measure such as gastro-bypass surgery.

The third cause for obesity disease did not exist when Dr. Simeons was doing his research. It is caused by the chemical additives to our food, specifically MSG and aspartame. These chemicals are called excitotoxins. Excitotoxins will activate nerves in our bodies and cause them to remain in an excited state. The nerves will never shut down so they begin to die. The hypothalamus is nothing but a bunch of neurons (nerve endings.) The death of these neurons cause what are called hypothalamic lesions. These lesions will cause obesity because the hypothalamus is not functioning properly.

Major JAMA Study Shows Statins Do Not Prevent Heart Disease
Statins, the drug that Big Pharma has convinced leading doctors to push on nearly everyone, have finally been subjected to the study that should have been done before being approved for sale. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that a large metastudy has shown that statins do not reduce death rates in people without established heart disease. Statins have no benefit for most people subjected to them.

Nigerian families sue over 'drug tests' on their kids
The Families alleged that Pfizer breached international law when it tested, Trovan on the children without consent. 
 
Trovan was tested on 200 Nigerian children from Kano, in northern Nigeria, during a bacterial-meningitis outbreak in 1996. 
 
Eleven children died and others were blinded, paralysed or brain-damaged.

This is a student doing his university exams to become a medical doctor at the University of Bologna, Italy. He proves to the satisfaction of the examining members of the faculty that HIV is not a sufficient cause for Aids and discusses the damaging effects of current Aids treatment protocols.

Is HIV to Gallo as kuru is to Gajdusek?
The first discovered pathogenic “slow virus” thought to infect human beings was the agent responsible for the invariably fatal kuru disease that affected members of the Fore tribe in New Guinea. The discovery was credited to Carleton Gajdusek, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1976 for uncovering thereby “new mechanisms for the origin and dissemination of infectious diseases”.
