As part of a lawsuit settlement with several consumer groups, the F.D.A. was finally forced to publicly admit that all "silver" dental filling are poisoned with mercury, which attacks the brain as it is absorbed into the blood, and fumes that are emitted whenever one of its victims chews. These facts have been known, and covered up, for 30 years.
"Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses. When amalgam fillings are placed in teeth or removed from teeth, they release mercury vapor. Mercury vapor is also released during chewing... Pregnant women and persons who may have a health condition that makes them more sensitive to mercury exposure, including individuals with existing high levels of mercury bioburden, should not avoid seeking dental care, but should discuss options with their health practitioner."

For many people, headaches are a normal part of life, and are expected. Ironically, those who have stressful, and particularly thankless jobs will often experience headaches most often during the weekends, instead of during their work-weeks. As a result, stress factors are usually dismissed. There are many who spend months trying to track down the cause of their weekend headaches, to no avail. Readers who experience these headaches have likely tried multiple remedies, in an attempt to relieve them, but such trials in self-medication can be a perilous process.
For sufferers of weekend headaches, the sudden change from a state of stress to one of rest on the weekends causes the neurotransmitter chemicals of the brain to be massively discharged. It can create a painful headache (or even a migraine) that takes a particularly long time to fade.
Consumer Reports Calls for F.D.A. Regulation of Supplements

There was a political firestorm over dietary supplements and herbs in the early 1990's. Natural medicines in the U.S. were about to be regulated out of existence by the government, and all supplements would need F.D.A. approval that required the same prohibitively expensive testing process as pharmaceutical drugs. Thankfully, enough concerned citizens stood up for their right to have unfettered access to dietary supplements. No government has a right to regulate God's natural medicines or to prevent nutrition. Because of the selfless work of our community, The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 was passed. Since then, there have been periodic threats to our health freedoms; all of which have been quashed.

On the 30th of July in 2010, I browsed through my e-mail messages to make a startling discovery. We had received a message from none other than infamous Jim "M.M.S." Humble. After a brief moment of eye rubbing, to ensure that I had not been hallucinating, I eagerly read his message and then shared it with Thomas. Humble was upset about the unflattering findings that our research uncovered about his alternative "medicine".

The Pharmaceutical Tragedy of Kurt Danysh

Kurt at age 18
"I was on Prozac. It's supposed to calm me down, and like level me out, but since I got on it, when something bothers me, it bothers me to [the] extreme. I just act differently. I don't have the energy or personality I used to. I spend half the time in a trance. I didn't realize I did it until after it was done, and then I realized it. This might sound weird, but it felt like I was left there holding a gun."
-- Kurt Danysh, police confession
Kurt Danysh was an outgoing 18-year old boy, whose troubles began when he was prescribed Prozac by a doctor who had performed no testing. The teenager quickly became withdrawn, and his emotional instability tail-spinned, making him reckless and violent. His rapid drug-induced deterioration continued; placing him in a fight with his best friend, and later compelling him to intentionally crash his truck into a stone wall. He then vandalized his own kamikazed-truck with graffiti in a manner that was reminiscent of the Charles Manson cult. This era of Kurt's life ended with him fatally shooting his father, at only 17 days after his first dose of Prozac. There was no motive for the crime, and Kurt had no history of violence.
Essential First Aid Item: Activated Carbon for Poison Emergencies

Activated carbon, in powdered form, should be in every medicine cabinet and first aid kit. It is also known as activated charcoal. It is used around the world as a universal antidote for hundreds of poisons, including arsenic, mercury, pesticides, strychnine, warfarin, hemlock, E. Coli endotoxin, and gasoline. Over 4,000 chemicals, drugs, plant and microbial toxins, allergens, venoms, and wastes are effectively neutralized by activated charcoal, when it is given in sufficient quantities. Activated charcoal is also an effective detox for practically any drug overdose if administered in time. It counteracts ingested aspirin, barbiturates, Prozac, paracetamol (Tylenol), phenobarbital, amphetamines, cocaine, morphine, opium, and the list continues endlessly.
In 1813, French chemist Michel Bertrand swallowed five grams of arsenic trioxide: 150 times the lethal dose. He had mixed it with activated carbon beforehand. He experienced no nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no excruciating cramping, no severe burning in the mouth or throat, no collapse, and no death. In a dangerous but dramatic way, he had avoided certain death while publicly demonstrating charcoal's phenomenal ability to neutralize poisons.

"Necessary evil" is a term that we often hear, but I cannot think of any corporation whose evil actions were due to a lack of choice. It is a phrase used to describe many large corporations, including Microsoft, Big Pharma, Coke, and Pepsi. While all of them hold some evil traits, I do not think any of them are necessary, or that their behavior is excusable. There are good alternatives to all of them, but as discussed in a previous post; convenience has become more important to most of us than the moral and ethical considerations of our behavior.
The Dangers of Non-Stick Cookware

People have a tendency to forget security and safety issues whenever a new technology provides a great convenience. This is especially true regarding health and diet products. There are consequences to that carelessness, and people tend to forget about potential consequences until the consequences actually manifest themselves. A good example of this phenomena is the broad acceptance of non-stick cookware. It is quite convenient, but it is far from safe.
If a bird inhales the toxic PFOA fumes that are produced by heated non-stick pans, its lungs will ulcerate and it will suffocate in its own body fluids. This is due to it having inhaled either polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Birds were used for centuries as an early warning system in mines, because they rapidly die whenever they are exposed to even small amounts of poison gas. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are both fluoride compounds. Fluoride is a poison that depresses the thyroid, which can cause hypothyroidism, particularly with repeated exposure. It accumulates in the bones, teeth, and the pineal gland. It has been linked to brittle bone disease and cognitive problems. Fluoride is the main ingredient in some rat poisons.
Radioactive Airport Body Scanners and Official Child Molestation Procedures

A group of radiation-specific scientists from the University of California have sent a letter of complaint to John Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. They declared that there are major health risks stemming from the use of full body scanners that are being used at airports.
"Unlike other scanners, these new devices operate at relatively low beam energies (28keV). The majority of their energy is delivered to the skin and the underlying tissue. Thus, while the dose would be safe if it were distributed throughout the volume of the entire body, the dose to the skin may be dangerously high."

The mandatory hepatitis B vaccine is given to infants at birth for profit alone. It provides no benefit to the infants whom it is administered to. Hepatitis B is as difficult to contract as A.I.D.S. (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). As with A.I.D.S., the people at risk are drug users and people with multiple sexual partners. It is only transmitted through the following methods:
- Sexual intercourse
- The use of unclean hypodermic needles
- Being born of a mother who is infected

UPDATE: When this article was written, it concentrated upon the deplorable situation of pumping infants full of fluoride, as is common. There is a much more horrible situation now. The F.D.A. has been involved in a cover-up with industry to suppress public knowledge that deadly melamine is contaminating about 90% of all infant formulas. One of its many side-effects is kidney failure, which can happen weeks or years later. It is yet another example of poison coming from China combined with the greed of the chemical industry. It is used by the Chinese to give bogus positive test results for the amount of milk protein in a product. The Associated Press uncovered through a Freedom Of Information Act request that the F.D.A. actually had conference calls with infant formula manufacturers to discuss the public relations strategy for marketing melamine-contaminated products, without notifying the public about them, of course.
It is easy to predict what will happen to children who eventually die of melamine exposure. The clueless doctors will confidently proclaim that the children's deaths were obviously the result of a "genetic disorder", since they will not actually be able to explain anything about what happened, or be willing to admit it. "Genetic Disorder" is the new code phrase for, "We do not know what killed that person, and it might have been us, so we'll just blame their DNA.".

Diarrhea is not the most pleasant topic to read about, but sooner or later, it is an issue that everyone is forced to take an interest in. We have all been there, and none of us want to return. This gentle anti-diarrhea formula works impressively well. The ingredients may be surprising; because in a homeopathic sense, they normally have the opposite effect. We understand how the ingredients manage to fix the problem; but frankly, most readers do not want the details. The important thing is that it works very well. In the worst cases, it can take up to 2 hours for it to fully activate, so there may be one or two final trips to the restroom. When it does activate, it works better than anything else, and it is unlikely to be needed again for the remainder of the illness.

The Washington Post reported that the F.D.A. has finally found fault in a chemical. The chemical is found in the urine of more than 75% of Americans, and research has shown for years that it is dangerous. New research has grabbed the attention of the E.P.A., F.D.A. and C.P.S.C. The chemical is so widely used that it falls under the jurisdiction of all three federal agencies.
Triclosan is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal chemical. Astute readers may already be making the connection that anything which is poisonous to organisms is, well, poisonous. The poison is added to anti-bacterial soaps, pesticides, toothpastes, cleaning agents, shaving creams, and mouthwashes. In recent years, it has been infused into children's toys, bedding, and some clothing. From observing the history of the chemical industry, we are making bets amongst ourselves as to how long it will be before it is a component of vaccines and infant formulas.
