Why Experimental Medicine and Health Have Become Mutually Exclusive

Written by Sarah Cain

A recent study by the C.D.C. has estimated that 30% of Americans will have diabetes by 2050.  The mainstream media has already reported this extensively, and it appears baffled by the new revelation.  However, diabetes is not the only disease that is rising annually.  Despite assurances from the medical establishment that there are stunning breakthroughs in modern medicine, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and autism are not going anywhere.  In fact, they are becoming rather common, and thereby more profitable.

Video: An 11-Year-Old Homeschooler Explains The Problems With The Food Industry

Written by Thomas Corriher

In about five minutes, eleven-year-old Birke Baehr summed up the despicable behavior of our modern food industry, and how it needs to be fixed.  Birke is a homeschooler, and his presentation was better than some commercial documentaries.  He provided an evaluation of our tainted food supply, and how the food industry is manipulated by major corporations.  At his young age, he is already able to recognize that advertising is often deceptive, and that it is frequently geared toward getting children to market on behalf of corporate interests.  We encourage you to watch his entertaining speech, which took place in Asheville, North Carolina.

U.S. Federal Government Threatens the State of California: It Will "Arrest" Residents to Stop Lawful Marijuana Gardens

Written by Sarah Cain

	While one group of storm troopers hunts their fellow Americans for having drug addictions, another group of U.S. soldiers is in the Afghanistan poppy fields to ensure that the drug supply is never interrupted by the Taliban.

On November 2nd, Californians will be voting on the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, otherwise known as Proposition 19.  The act will decriminalize the possession of cannabis ("marijuana") for amounts under an ounce, and allow people to cultivate it in their home gardens.  If enacted, cannabis would be treated like alcohol and tobacco; taxed, and only available to adults.

Staunch opponents compare marijuana's effects to those of alcohol's, but none of them support the prohibition of alcohol.  The pro-legalization movement generally consists of two categories of people who are leading the charge.  There are those who want to stop S.W.A.T. raids, the subsequent needless (often accidental) deaths, and the wanton splitting-up of families.  The other group consists of those who are aware of the financial situation in the United States, and see marijuana taxation as a method to get out of debt.  This was also one of the reasons that alcohol prohibition was ended.

The Vaccine Cover Up: Why the FDA is Attacking Chelation Therapy

Written by Thomas Corriher

Threatening warning letters have now been sent to eight supplement companies which are selling chelation products online.  An FDA spokesman told the Washington Post that on one hand, the F.D.A. maintains that chelation methods are unproven, and ineffective; just as they do with nutritional supplements.  Yet, at the same time, their excuse for sending out the letters is the fact that chelation therapy is too powerful.  It was ripe with the usual doublespeak that is used to avoid discussing the real problems that they have with alternative therapies.

"The companies that received the warning letters sell products without a prescription, often as 'dietary supplements', and describe multiple health benefits, none of which have been proven.

"The agency became alarmed about the growing promotion and easy availability of the products because the substances may cause serious health complications, including dehydration and kidney failure, and possibly be deadly, officials said."

Book Review: The Whole Story - Alternative Medicine on Trial

Written by Sarah Cain

The Whole Story: Alternative Medicine on Trial, by Toby Murcott, sets out to provide an unbiased overview of alternative medicine; cataloging its strengths and weaknesses.  Mr. Murcott was the science correspondent for BBC World Radio, and he holds a PhD. in biochemistry.  His attempt at unbiased reporting in the book is flawed, because he misses a crucial point of good journalism: a journalist cannot ethically present both sides of a controversy in a balanced manner, if either side is known to be distorting the facts.  A reporter has a duty to note such deceptions, or he merely becomes a passive part of the propaganda apparatus himself, through his omissions.  Objectivity is a vaulted (but rarely seen) ideal of modern journalists, but it is hardly idyllic whenever it seduces them into perpetuating known lies themselves.  They may be drawn into the corruption themselves, ironically by working to distance themselves from it.

Greek Socialized Health Care is Pushing Amputations for Diabetics to Cut Costs

Written by Thomas Corriher

We have written in the past about the detriments of socialized medicine, and informed our readers that underneath its sparkling guise of humanitarianism resides an insidious charade that will lead to less options, and worse care.

In Britain, which has the supposed gold standard of socialized medicine, the elderly are denied knee replacements and cataract surgeries, due to a collapsing economy.  The weakest of society are being left to suffer, something perhaps devolving into the caveman past, or worse.  Some of the nursing homes have been shutdown as a cost saving move.  Perhaps the elderly will find a better life on the streets with the alcoholics and hopeless drug addicts, and perhaps they will finally feel shameful for being such parasites upon society.  Parasites are exactly what they ultimately are under communistic and socialistic ideologies, and the behavior in Britain is more than proof of it.

Death Rates Drop When Doctors Go on Strike

Written by Sarah Cain

Most people believe that doctors save far more than they harm, and that any doctor-induced injuries are usually minor.  However, there is plenty of evidence that shows otherwise.  In the year 2000, doctors in Israel decided to go on strike; demanding increases in pay.  Before long, morticians began to notice a bizarre trend.

The Bees Are Dying and How Monsanto Will Be Responsible for the Upcoming Famine

Written by Sarah Cain

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left.  No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

— Albert Einstein

Bees have been slowly declining in number since 1972 [1].  The drop in bee populations was traditionally called "Fall Dwindle Disease", which is cited here for the aid of future research; even though the word disease is not applicable.  In 2006, a far more rapid decline ensued.  The problem was renamed to "Colony Collapse Disorder" or occasionally "Honey Bee Depopulation Syndrome".  Despite the repeated mentally-challenged naming of this problem, it is nonetheless a very serious problem for all of us.  Prior to 2006, the gradual decline was attributed to a number of causes, including pesticide use and Varroa mites.

By early 2007, the decline had reached new proportions.  Bees simply disappeared, instead of dying in their hives.  Large bee hives became like miniature ghost towns, and there is still no official explanation for the bees' disappearance.

The F.D.A. is Using a Unique G.M.O. Salmon Approval Process to Bypass U.S. Regulations

Written by Thomas Corriher

	F.D.A. Commissioner, Margaret Hamburg

The Washington Post recently reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is using the process that is designed for veterinary drugs to approve genetically modified salmon.  The F.D.A. does not have any legitimate process for regulating genetically modified foods, despite the fact that this request has been pending for 10 years.  Approving genetically engineered salmon as a veterinary drug allows for research data to be conveniently hidden from the public, under the guise of trade secrets.  It is yet another example of the F.D.A. using legal chicanery and flagrant deception to sideswipe both U.S. law, and its own mandates.

Quick Tips: Vitamin C Weakens Tooth Enamel and Other Facts the Dental Experts Do Not Know

Written by Sarah Cain

	Citrus toothpaste by Green People will damage tooth enamel.

We encourage daily supplementation of vitamin C for everyone.  It protects against everything from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (S.I.D.S) to scurvy, heart disease and in some cases, cancer too.  Two-time Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling recommended a whopping 3 grams of vitamin C every day for the average healthy male, and 6 grams for those at risk of heart disease.  There are many methods of vitamin C supplementation, in the form of capsules, powders, and syrups.  For decades, parents have been providing their children with chewable vitamin C pills.

Vitamin C is destructive to tooth enamel, so chewable pills will no doubt lead to increased cavities, particularly in those who are lacking minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.  Vitamin C should never be taken in a manner that leaves residues of it on the teeth for an extended time period.  Some well intentioned toothpaste manufacturers have misguidedly added vitamin C or "citrus" to their formulas, without realizing the dangers that this presents.  Similarly, some alternative medicine sites on the Internet recommend cleaning the teeth with lemon-based solutions.  Citrus acids have the tendency to make the teeth "feel clean".  However, this sensation occurs partly because the acid strips the teeth, and this will cause long term damage; especially when combined with abrasives or stiff bristle brushes.

Alternative Medicine and Why We Are Proud Not To Be "Scientific"

Written by Thomas Corriher

	Demonstrating the principles of modern medical science.

Alternative medicine is often criticized for its use of time tested methods of observable cause and effect relationships, such as the observation that those who get vaccines can often regress within a short time period, and are disproportionately diagnosed with autism.  A recent fan-mail from an insider commented about our "anecdotal, unfounded, unscientific gobbledygook".  He noticed that we are not "scientific" like the people he considers to be "experts", who by the way, cannot seem to even cure their way out of a runny nose, much less any real disease.  On the other hand, the list of people we have helped to cure is ever growing.

Basic Animal Care and Common Sense

Written by Sarah Cain

We generally do not tackle veterinary issues on this site, due to the overwhelming need for human health information.  We must admit to having used veterinary research information to tackle certain diseases, which our medical establishment will not approach with the same openness and honesty.

Pharmaceutical companies routinely target the family dog as a recipient of chemical numbing agents.  Just like in the case of children, normal behaviors are suddenly being redefined into the symptoms of disease.  When a dog repeatedly digs holes, modern vets are prescribing them with anti-anxiety drugs.  When they chase their tails, they are diagnosed with compulsive behaviors, and when they bark too often, they are suffering from "territorial aggression" resulting from anxiety.  If a dog appears lazy, he is actually suffering from a depressive disorder (possibly a bi-polar one).  In all cases, there are suddenly drugs available.  It is very common for families that regularly visit veterinarians to have their animals placed on S.S.R.I.'s.  So, the next time a dog attacks somebody, perhaps the family should claim an S.S.R.I. defense prior to it being euthanized.

Please Join the Horizon Milk Boycott and Horizon's Dirty Little Tricks

Written by Thomas Corriher

We routinely purchase milk that is pasteurized, but not homogenized.  We recently noticed the presence of Horizon brand, ultra-pasteurized, "organic" milk, during a visit to our local Walmart store.  There was no mention of homogenization on the labels, which I had always assumed was a requirement.  To the contrary, there are actually no mandatory labeling requirements concerning homogenization.

Being Poisoned by Candlelight

Written by Sarah Cain

Candles were once used as a primary source of light, but now they litter people's homes as decorations, relaxants, and scenting agents.  Most people never consider the possible health implications of candles, and may find themselves shocked by the new "lead-free" labels on certain brands.

Prior to 2003, candle wicks were tainted with lead compounds, and often antimony.  They were shown to release large amounts of lead vapors into the air.  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission subsequently banned the importation and sale of wicks that contain lead compounds.  American companies that use wicks laced with metallic compounds switched to using zinc and tin.  However, many imported candles still contain lead compounds, in spite of the 8-year-old ban.  Customs officials are not exactly busy testing candle wicks, so the poisoning is allowed to continue.  Once again, our reliance on unreputable countries like China has left Americans with reduced quality products and poisonings.

A Letter from the Editor: The Truth About Our Radio Shows and When Friends Stop Being Friendly

Written by Thomas Corriher

We have promised two exciting audio shows to our readers and listeners during the last two weeks, but later found ourselves being forced to break those promises.  The people from the Revolution Broadcasting network made those decisions for us, without warning, just before both of those shows aired.  We want every person to know that we place great value upon keeping our promises.  It is part of an unspoken code of honor to which we adhere.  We do not appreciate any third-party tricking us into being fools and liars.  We are sincerely sorry it happened.  In retrospect, we now know that there was a reason for all the madness that we have recently witnessed in regard to our radio shows, but the truth behind it is not easy to accept; even for us.  The time has come to set things right again, and that requires that we first expose the raw truth to all of you.

New York City's Almost Comical Attempts at Curbing Obesity by Ensuring Corporate Appeasement

Written by Sarah Cain

Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.  He's making sure that all of New York City's school children get their daily allowance of aspartame — for health reasons.

New York City has higher rates of childhood obesity than the national average, and it is worsening.  When mayor Michael Bloomberg entered office in 2002, he pledged to improve the health of New Yorkers.  Since then, he has led campaigns against smoking and sugar.  Now, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is trying to reduce the rates of childhood obesity.  The New York Times reported their lack of success last week.

Upon reading of their methods, their failure is not at all surprising.  Let us not forget that it was New York State that absurdly planned to ban salt in restaurants for the benefit of people's health.  New York State has a history of unwise health policies.  It was the primary location for AIDS experiments on foster care children, during a time when New York City officials would routinely remove children from homes, if their care-givers refused to poison them with experimental drugs.  New York was also the first state to mandate the swine flu vaccine for health care workers.  It is worth reminding readers that most New York State health care workers did not want the vaccine shot, because of serious safety concerns, but we are certain they neglected to mention this to their vaccine patients.

The Mail Bag #10: Dying and Medicine's Faith Connection

"My 5 year old son was just diagnosed a month and a half ago with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). This is a brainstem tumor that has an unthinkable prognosis that I can not accept or even entertain. I am reading all of this information about alkaline systems and ph and I am PRAYING that all of this information will be my miracle. I bought the refrigerated organic flax seed oil as well as the full fat cottage cheese and full fat unsweetened, unflavored yogurt. I am planning to give this to my son for the first time tomorrow (possibly with a little raw organic honey if he won\'t eat it otherwise) before he goes for his chemo and radiation treatments. From what I have read, I know that some of you will frown upon these medical choices but I am a mom and I can not and will not take any chances with my baby's life. I am also doing everything I can think of to keep his diet as alkaline as possible and plan to buy ph strips to check this in his urine. PLEASE if there is anyone who has any information that you think could help me, please respond to this. I have also been using the agave nectar to sweeten what he thinks is chocolate milk. He loves chocolate milk so I replaced it secretly with a mixture of breast milk (from my sister-in-law), pure unsweetened almond milk, and organic carob powder and of course a little agave nectar for sweetness. I am not sure if this is ok or if I should use honey or what I should do. If you can help with this aspect as well, I would appreciate it. I need hope but I cant deal with empty promises right now so please only respond if you can help me, thank you."

Audio: Real Hope and Change: Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

Written by Thomas Corriher

"If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what's at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars [communism]. There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States. Those who ask us to trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state are architects of a policy of accommodation."

"The most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.'"

"Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction."

"Government growing beyond our consent had become a lumbering giant, slamming shut the gates of opportunity, threatening to crush the very roots of our freedom. What brought America back?  The American people brought us back -- with quiet courage and common sense; with undying faith that in this nation under God the future will be ours, for the future belongs to the free."

Listen to the speech he made for the American Medical Association in 1961 concerning socialized medicine.
