In addition, this study found that 22% of cancers were over-diagnosed, leading to unnecessary treatment with surgical interventions, chemotherapy and radiation.<BR> <BR> The Swiss Medical Board experts also noted a very significant discrepancy between women’s perceptions of mammography benefits and actual reality. Whereas women had a perception that mammography prevented 80 deaths per 1000 women screened. The actual figures show that only 1 (one) breast cancer death per 10,000 women can be averted. <BR> <BR> A major New England Journal of Medicine study found that mammograms have led to more than 1.3 million unnecessary treatments over the past three decades, with 70,000 more joining their ranks every year, and the radiation from the test can actually GIVE you cancer.<BR> <BR> Canadian scientists followed 90,000 women for 25 years and found that regular mammograms won’t add a single day to your life.<BR> <BR> The truth be told, that there is more and more research and evidence that shows that more women are being harmed by regular mammograms than are saved by them.<BR> <BR> Along with leading to all those unnecessary treatments, mammograms may actually CAUSE the very disease they’re supposed to detect.<BR> <BR> Mammograms use radiation — X-ray radiation, aimed right at the breast. Getting screened every year or so, and you are pretty much asking for it. Then to crown it all, the procedure squishes the breast so hard it could cause a once-harmless tumour to burst, spreading cancer cells in every direction.<BR> <BR> The powerful new 3-D mammogram called the Selenia Dimensions System emits twice the radiation of the traditional screening. That means it is twice as dangerous... and twice as likely to actually CAUSE the very cancer it is supposed to detect. But it is not twice as good. There is not even any data to prove that it saves more lives or detects more cancers. In fact, all it can claim is a barely noticeable 7 percent improvement in “accuracy.”<BR> <BR> Statistics that are being sited in favour of mammography are based on outdated, and probably manipulated, clinical trials. The first mammography trial began more than 50 years ago and the last trial was conducted in 1991.<BR> <BR> According to a new study on more than 1.6 million mammograms given between 1998 and 2006, “computer-aided detection” (CAD) a program used in three quarters of all mammograms that supposedly helps radiologists to read the images better does not detect more cancers OR save more lives.<BR> <BR> Even worse, it causes the number of panic-inducing false positives to shoot right up.<BR> <BR> The evidence of harm and the lack of benefit led the Swiss Medical Board to recommend abolishing mammography as a mass-screening program.<BR> <BR> <I>"Mammograms have always been about making money, not saving lives."</I> - Dr. W.C. Douglas<BR> <BR> Yale scientists say that all it took was seven years for the price of mammograms in America to increase by a staggering 42%.<BR> <BR> Sadly, the great majority of women and most medical professionals are unaware of the fact that the science needed for backing mammography does not exist. Unfortunately the message of the massive Pink Ribbon Industry perpetuates the dangerous and irresponsible message promoting annual mammogram, simply because they are making billions from the scam.<BR> <BR> An editorial in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) tore into the Pink Ribbon Industry for its misleading campaign — and researchers included a couple of numbers you won’t be seeing in any Pink Ribbon ad campaign: A 50-year-old women who gets mammograms every year for a decade has a 0.53 percent chance of dying of breast cancer, while a 50-year-old woman who skips them completely has a 0.46 percent chance of dying of the disease.<BR> <BR> <B>References, sources and further reading</B><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2012/12/10/breast-screenings-lead-to-over-treatment/">http://douglassreport.com/2012/12/10/breast-screenings-lead-to-over-treatment/</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2011/03/04/3-d-mammograms/">http://douglassreport.com/2011/03/04/3-d-mammograms/</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.thermographyclinic.com/blog/entry/mammography-screening-is-being-abolished-in-switzerland">http://www.thermographyclinic.com/blog/entry/mammography-screening-is-being-abolished-in-switzerland</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2012/08/29/why-i-dont-think-pink-for-breast-cancer/">http://douglassreport.com/2012/08/29/why-i-dont-think-pink-for-breast-cancer/</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2011/09/12/mammogram-danger/">http://douglassreport.com/2011/09/12/mammogram-danger/</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2012/10/22/3-d-mammograms-are-all-risk-no-benefit/">http://douglassreport.com/2012/10/22/3-d-mammograms-are-all-risk-no-benefit/</A><BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://douglassreport.com/2014/07/28/mammogram-costs/">http://douglassreport.com/2014/07/28/mammogram-costs/</A><BR> <BR> <B>Medical Disclaimer</B><BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. <BR> 2. An old friend who once saved your life. <BR> 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. <BR> <BR> Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think, before you continue reading. <BR> <BR> This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. <BR> <BR> The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. She simply answered: <I>“I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.”</I> <BR> <BR> Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.

Paint this on your cake tins. It needs to be softened for use. It will prevent cakes and slices from becoming stuck in the tins.<BR> <BR> <B>Ingredients</B><BR> 4 oz/113.4 gram of fat <BR> 1 oz/28.35 gram of vegetable oil <BR> 2 oz/56.70 gram flour <BR> Directions<BR> Melt 4 oz/113.4 gram of fat, add 1 oz/28.35 gram of vegetable oil, stir in 2 oz/56.70 gram flour. Mix well. Keep out of the fridge, in a cool place.<BR> <BR> The recipe is a good amount for home use. <BR> One needs to probably make that recipe up, 3 times a year, depending on how much one bakes. <BR> It cannot be made using oil only, because doing that will have the opposite effect. <BR> <BR> <B>Cooking fat</B><BR> Use dripping or "Chefade".<BR> <BR> Dripping = also known usually as beef dripping or, more rarely, as pork dripping, is an animal fat produced from the fatty or otherwise unusable parts of cow or pig carcasses. It is similar to lard, tallow and schmaltz<BR> <BR> Tallow = is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, processed from suet. It is solid at room temperature. Unlike suet, tallow can be stored for extended periods without the need for refrigeration to prevent decomposition, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation<BR> <BR> Lard = pig fat in both its rendered and unrendered forms. Contemporary cooks and bakers favour it over other fats for select uses. The culinary qualities of lard vary somewhat depending on the part of the pig from which the fat was taken and how the lard was processed<BR> <BR> Shortening = any fat that is solid at room temperature and used to make crumbly pastry<BR> <BR> Suet = is raw beef or mutton fat, especially the hard fat found around the loins and kidneys<BR> <BR> <B>Cooking Fat brands</B><BR> Chefade = (usually used for frying) made from beef tallow and not processed vegetable fat as is often claimed<BR> Kremelta = is a vegetable shortening (I understand that it is hydrogenated coconut oil)<BR> Crisco = brand name shortening made entirely of vegetable oil<BR> Shreddo = made from suet beef fat from around kidney<BR> <BR> <B>Storage</B><BR> It Keeps well and one will seldom, if ever, need to throw out any of it.

Squatting heavy increases bone density, not really relevant, but need to know this).<BR> <BR> <B>Broscience:</B><BR> Since squatting is so hard on the body as well as your mind, it makes you a stronger, more resilient person. Bone density increases and your body is able to support more mass with less effort due to stabilizers becoming extremely stronger. Your body is used to repairing massive amounts of damage inflicted to it, so you are able to better recover when hitting smaller muscle groups. As squatting takes a lot out of you, so when you do other lifting your smaller muscle groups you're able to push harder and give it more. On to hgh debate. Hitting so many muscles and taxing your body, when you recover from it that night, your body actually increases hgh release to cope with the amount of repair that has to take place, continually being under stress makes your body used to producing more hgh anticipating the increased demand. Further more after a hard day of squatting most people sleep like babies, during deep sleep is when your body produces hgh.<BR> <BR> Edit: squats don't add mass to whole body in a direct fashion (but in an indirect way)<BR> <BR> I agree with that, on my squat day I sweat like crazy and feel much more exhausted than on other days.

Dr. Moulden, can you tell us a bit about your background?<BR> <BR> I am 44 years of age and have spent my entire adult life in academia, university, and clinical health science studies, practice, and research. My affinity for the brain and behavioral sciences stemmed from a genuine desire to find answers to many unanswered questions, questions such as – Why are we here? What makes us human? and What causes illnesses like schizophrenia, dementia, multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, and many other often debilitating illnesses.<BR> <BR> My area of expertise is in neurobehavioral assessment of brain and behavioral disorders, <A HREF="http://www.BrainGuardMD.com">www.BrainGuardMD.com</A><BR> <BR> My Bachelor’s degree was in Biological Psychology. I graduated valedictorian with an 88% cumulative average from Nipissing University, North Bay Ontario, Canada, in my core area of specialty. My Masters degree was in Child Development with my main thesis in language and neurocognitive development in children and adolescents (Laurentian University). My Undergraduate course grades in Brain and Behavior (98%) and Neurobiology (94%) were straight “A’s”. I achieved a similar level of academic success during the Masters and PhD degrees.<BR> <BR> My PhD was in Clinical-Experimental Neuropsychology. I completed a sub-specialization in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Ottawa during the PhD degree. My PhD comprehensive exams were on Acquired Brain Injuries and Post Concussion Syndrome. I worked with the Mild Brain Injury Association as a group leader and also the Head Injury Association of Toronto, during the PhD training. My PhD comprehensive exam was on acquired Brain Injuries. My clinical work was devoted to detecting acquired brain injuries.<BR> <BR> I was a Natural, Sciences, Engineering, and Research Council of Canada scholar, an Ontario Mental Health Foundation scholar, an Ontario Graduate scholar, and received 27 Awards/scholarships for academic, research, clinical, and teaching excellence during my University training. I was ranked in the top 1-5% of medical residents during my emergency medicine residency rotations in Ottawa.<BR> <BR> I have taught enrichment courses on Brain and Behavior, Neurology, Neuropsychology, and Neuropsychiatry at the University of Ottawa (1993-2005) and full courses in Neurbobiology at Atlantic Baptist University in Moncton, Newbrunswick Canada.<BR> <BR> My clinical training during the PhD was in Clinical Neuropsychology at the Baycrest Hospital, Rotman Research Institute – University of Toronto, and the Credit Valley Hospital, Ottawa Health Sciences Center memory Disorders Clinic. The PhD thesis was in Functional Brain Imaging and Neuro-Electrophysiology at the Univiversity of Toronto. I subsequently completed a medical degree at the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.<BR> <BR> During the PhD my extra-curricular training was in Behavioral Neurology and Clinical Neuropsychology. My clerkship electives training during medical school was in Clinical Neurology. My residency training was in Psychiatry/Neuropsychiatry. I received the licentiate of the Medical Counsel of Canada (2006) having passed the core knowledge (LMCC 1) and clinical skills (LMCC 2) exams consistent with the United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE parts 1 and 2).<BR> <BR> During my clinical residency training I was ranked in the top 1-5% of medical residents during rotations by my supervisors including my emergency medicine rotations in Ottawa.<BR> <BR> I have elected to devote myself to neurobehavioral and neurocognitive assessments and research based upon my PhD and Masters training rather than practicing clinical medicine. I pursued a Medical degree solely to further understand brain and behavioral disorders, from a clinical medicine frame of reference, rather than pursuing a goal to become a practicing/prescribing physician.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden 4<BR> <BR> For the past several years I have devoted myself to deciphering the neurobehavioral sequel associated with immune system hyper stimulation, neurodevelopmental disorders, and ultimately to vaccinations as the common environmental trigger for several brain and behavioral disorders I have studied since the undergraduate degree.<BR> <BR> My work will be submitted for peer review in the upcoming several months. For now, peer review is available in the Tolerance Lost DVD series as I have translated the medical sciences into an information and presentation style that can be understood by the public at large, as well as the vaccine injury court special masters. Examples of the evidence of harm, I have cataloged in a ‘see for yourself’ format.<BR> <BR> 2.) Dr. Moulden, we understand that you have made a revolutionary discovery. Can you tell us about it?<BR> <BR> I would be happy to.<BR> <BR> 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.<BR> <BR> 3.) What led you away from the rigid and possibly blinkered views of most of the rest of the medical profession?<BR> <BR> The brain and nervous system is wired in a very specific format. Functions are localized to specific areas. Having studied brain and behavior, neurosciences, clinical neuropsychology, child neurodevelopment, functional brain imaging, clinical neurology, clinical neuropsychiatry, clinical medicine, immunology, hematology, tests and measurement, and understanding the tools and assumptions and techniques of mainstream medicine, I fell in the unique position of having being able to see clinical medicine problems, from a multitude of simultaneous areas of expertise and scientific knowledge. Relative to the human brain, I understood “rules and laws” of brain function relative to brain damage and the mechanisms of medical physiology that can uniquely cause unique patterns of brain damage in ways that my clinical skills could detect, that mainstream neuroimaging cannot. The initial “aha” moment was in 2001.<BR> <BR> 4.) What was it which caught your attention, what tipped you off and incited you to scratch the surface and investigate further?<BR> <BR> I was seeing, autistic patients, coming out of medical school – they had a trans-cortical motor aphasia, isolation of speech syndrome, and very specific cranial nerve palsies that could ONLY be accounted for by ischemic stroke. Remarkably, my studies of schizophrenia, dementia, and research exposure to neuroimaging modalities and brain and behavioral assessments before medical school contributed to my ability to “see” what has been in front of our eyes all along – ischemic strokes and brain damages – from vaccinations. The problem has been we neither knew how to measure, when to measure or what to measure, let alone what the limitations were, of the tools we have been using to measure brain integrity, in health, disease and disorder.<BR> <BR> It has taken the past several years to decipher how ischemic brain damages were happening in the autism we were seeing and the many other neurodevelopmental disorders. I now believe I have the answers for this, or so it appears and some solutions.<BR> <BR> Wild polio caused the exact same brain damages as ALL other vaccines are. Indeed, Guillian Barre syndrome and a host of other neurological disorders is being caused by a common mechanism of injury – albeit from different triggers for different individuals. This is ischemia – from impaired blood flow in microcirculation units. We simply did not appreciate what was right before our eyes.<BR> <BR> My first cases included several Autistic and Schizophrenic patients. They were showing the exact same acute onset palsies – paralysis. These brain damages were subtle – but measurable multiple, and were present in the pre-vaccine era for wild viruses like polio and infantile paralysis.<BR> <BR> Once I was armed with the knowledge and skills of a medical doctor, a clinical neuropsychologist, a child neurodevelopmentalist, with research experience in neuroimaging, tests and measurement, scientific method design and analysis, functional localization of brain and behavioral disorders, and a broad base across several other scientific disciplines, I was able to see “the whole forest” despite the trees. Quite literally, I believe I have found and discovered a common mechanism towards acquired human disease and disorder – all of it. It is truly humbling.<BR> <BR> 5.) How have you been able to show this and how have you managed to demonstrate this? What medical imaging underlies it all? What medical imaging is the basis for it all?<BR> <BR> I have quantified and expanded standard neurological and clinical neuropsychological tools of brain function and assessment. In essence, I have “digitized” the neurological and neuropsychological physical neurological exams across neurodevelopment using contemporary image enhancement software constrained to functional localization in the brain relative to end vascular, watershed territories “the end of the road” for varied brain blood vessel areas. All of my tools and techniques are non-invasive.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden - FAST<BR> <BR> I am now able to assess in the here and now, or looking back 50 years ago, to answer questions as to cause, in disease, neurodevelopment disorders, and much more. Remarkably, we can now advance diagnose sudden infant death syndrome, and I can answer questions relative to – Was this a shaken baby?, Did vaccines cause this person to have autism? Was this death caused by Gardasil? Did vaccines cause these damages? Since the mechanism to damages is common across all, when vaccines are involved — and sometimes even virulent infectious diseases.<BR> <BR> 6.) What is the basic information underlying your claims and what is the foundation of your beliefs?<BR> <BR> Germs simply are not the only root cause of death, disease, and disorder. I have now conclusively shown that ALL vaccines, from infancy to geriatric, are causing the exact same brain damages irrespective of what disease or disorder comes out. The damages are specific to end vascular “mini strokes” that are beneath the resolution of our neuroimaging, but measurable in a before/after vaccination protocol. They are also directly measurable in real time – however, this involves techniques and technology I have not disclosed to the public as yet.<BR> <BR> Remarkably, wild polio, pre-natal German measles, measles, tetanus, “Spanish flu”, etc.. all caused the exact same damages in the pre-vaccine era. We simply did not appreciate that a generic response in the human body was causing the paralysis and respiratory failure and more in from a non-specific immune response and instability of microscopic blood flow hemodynamics.<BR> <BR> We have weakened viruses and bacteria, injected them into all of us and caused chronic illness and disease in an attenuated form, this is how these pathogens have always caused harm. It is the bodies response to foreign things entering it, especially under hypersensitivity states, that is causing neurodevelopment disorders and chronic illness and much more.<BR> <BR> 7.) You speak of epidemics. What is your understanding of an epidemic? How does it manifest?<BR> <BR> The explanation of epidemic is simple, we are now seeing:<BR> <BR> 1 in 6 children with specific learning disabilities.<BR> 12-15% children with attention deficit disorder.<BR> 1 in 87 with autism spectrum – a 1700% increase over ten years.<BR> 1% sudden infant death<BR> 40 deaths and 15,000 substantive adverse Gardasil reactions<BR> 1 in 15 over 65 with dementia; 1 in 8 over 85<BR> Chronic fatigue syndrome<BR> Fibromyalgia<BR> Seizure disorders<BR> “West” syndrome<BR> Global developmental delay<BR> 1 in 450 with type 1 diabetes<BR> 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer over a lifetime.<BR> Gulf war syndrome affecting and disabling 250,000 troops and 42,000 deaths. These vaccinated soldiers show the exact same neurological damages after vaccination as the infants and children are exhibiting after each childhood vaccination. These are strokes (oxygen demand exceeding oxygen supply) conclusively!<BR> <BR> This is just the tip of the iceberg.<BR> <BR> These microscopic strokes are happening to the brain and body in immediate and delayed, waxing and waning, acute and chronic ways. This is receiving a plethora of clinical labels. In basic physiology, the base cause is common across the board.<BR> <BR> There is no such thing as an acquired genetic epidemic. The epidemic is an acquired phenomenon, from environmental factors, for which I can now conclusively show, vaccinations are the mass culprit for most of this.<BR> <BR> 8.) What has the response been to your discoveries? How have they been received by the public / the world at large?<BR> <BR> The public gets it. The chiropractors embrace it. The medical Doctors, including pediatric neurologists, are stunned by it. The pharmaceutical and organized medicine cartels must deny it. The philosophy is “if they cannot deny the message, then they will discredit the messenger.” This is simply how the system works.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden - MASS1<BR> <BR> The evidence is now self evident. All you have to do now is receive the education you need to appreciate and see what is before your very eyes – layperson and Doctor.<BR> <BR> My imaging is called the 12-IMAM – 12 “Eye  M.A.S.S. Anoxia Measures” based on the 12 cranial nerves. “MASS” stands for Moulden Anoxia Spectrum Syndromes. Anoxia refers to impaired oxygen delivery to tissue.<BR> <BR> 9.) Are there other doctors, researchers and scientists who share your views and agree with you?<BR> <BR> All of them, once they take the time to learn. It is 100% undeniable. There is NO way to refute what we can all see now. By example, gravity was with us since the dawn of creation. Sir Isaac Newton did not “discover” gravity, he simply put the conceptual framework forward as to why apples fall from tress.<BR> <BR> I have simply put the conceptual framework science, measurement system, and explanations to “why are we getting sick” and “LOOK” all vaccines are causing the exact same neurological damages irrespective of what disease comes out, across the lifespan, This means that it is something the body does in response to immune stimulation that is causing disease and disorders, I now believe I know what this “something” is.<BR> <BR> 10.) In your opinion, what percentage of vaccines cause adverse effects?<BR> <BR> It is in my considered opinion, all of them. I can now show the evidence to back this up. The damages have been clinically silent, but we are all being harmed along the same continuum from clinically silent to terminal disorders and diseases, across all organ systems. However, my ability to measure and prove my point, for the moment, is locked in on the brain functions and neurobehavioral and neuropscyhiatric and neurological conditions primarily.<BR> <BR> 11.) Do you think it is possible to determine in advance (using medical tests or clinical examination) who is most likely to react / which individuals are predisposed to very serious reactions to vaccines?<BR> <BR> Yes, however, vaccines are not addressing the common cause of disease and disorder in human physiology. It is not the germs causing disease and death and chronic illness, it is the bodies common, generic, non-specific immune response and electrostatic instability of blood flow that is causing disease, and many states of autoimmunity, including multiple sclerosis, and much much more.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden - MASS<BR> <BR> We do not need to vaccinate for all the pathogens on earth, since all pathogens are inducing disease and death and disability via a singular common set of mechanism. It is these mechanism that need to be addressed on an as needed basis. This is now do -able it always was. Louis Pasteur’s germ theory was just that, a theory. His contemporaries, Dr Antoine Bechamp and Dr Rudolph Virchow were closer to the truth as to the cause of disease. Remarkably, this means that much of what we are doing in western medicine is wrong, we have been practicing medicine in a state of confusing cause and effect and causing more harm, globally, than good – for over 200 years!<BR> <BR> 12.) Those who believe strongly in vaccines often claim that it is too early if a reaction takes place within only a few hours or too late if a reaction takes place several months or even several years after administration of the vaccine…. Within which time could the adverse effects occur in your opinion ? Could these side effects frequently been delayed ? How could you explain that some adverse events occurred so much time after the vaccination<BR> <BR> Reactions are occurring for us all, within several minutes, This is a function of two things:<BR> 1) Non-specific immune hyperstimulation (a process involved in all immune hypersensitivity states, which I have called “MASS”Â),<BR> 2) An electrostatic instability of blood flow that impairs fluid dynamics and oxygen/nutrient delivery throughout the bodies 60,000 miles of end capillary blood vessel units which are required for life, healing, cellular function, wellness, and health.<BR> <BR> The microscopic blood flow and vessels are being damaged, immediately and delayed, waxing and waning, acute on chronic, clinically silent to apparent. One part involves phase changes in blood flow from “fluid” to gel, and back again. This is “sludging†of blood flow.”Sludged” blood cannot traverse capillary units designed to allow red blood cells, which carry oxygen, through the capillaries, in single file.<BR> <BR> In physics, Force equals Acceleration times MASS. This is known as Sir Isaac Newton’s “Big G” (for Gravity). As you increase MASS (as in sludged blood and agglomeration of other particles suspended in blood flow, including heavy metals and amino acids), without a net increase in force, then there is deceleration and no forward flow.<BR> <BR> The brain (and other organ systems) do not have blood flow receptors. There are only blood pressure receptors. Accordingly, when flow is diminished, there are no signals to the body that something is wrong when pressure remains adequate. This all plays out at the microscopic level, sometimes at the angstrom level, we have no microscopes to see this live within the human body.<BR> <BR> When an infant dies of “sudden infant death” or “no cause of death” after vaccination, the actual cause of death is impaired blood flow, in this case to the microscopic, watershed, end-capillary vessels in the brain stem controlling the central drive for respiration. The impaired blood flow has to be bilateral. This causes a cessation of breathing. Cardio respiratory arrest ensues in a perfectly healthy human. Coroners will not find cause of death as the cause of death “no microscopic capillary blood flow, in life is also present for us all in death, no blood flow.<BR> <BR> Adverse events happen so far removed from vaccination as the damages are additive, on-going, and susceptible to other non-specific immune hyper stimulating events beyond simply vaccinations. The ischemic state can wax and wane. Auto antibodies can be formed against tissue that is now poorly perfused. The viscosity of the blood can fluctuate and vascular areas damaged from previous vaccinations are now uniquely susceptible.<BR> <BR> However, the common mechanism of delayed pathology is almost always related to immunological tolerance, lost, impaired colloidal stability of blood flow, and loss of the carrying and dispersion capacity of blood flow. “The life of the flesh is truly in the blood” this is Electrostatics. There is no such thing as alternating or direct current in nature. It is all Electrostatic. In terms of formed elements in the blood, this is in the form of minute static charges in the realm of 100 thousandths of a volt that maintains blood flow as dispersed, spiral, fluid, with low bulk stress or agglomerated, laminar, “sludged” with high bulk stress.<BR> <BR> The laws that govern blood flow in the human body are the same laws that govern movement in our universe. These are electrical and chemical forces. Cause is never to be found in chemistry. Chemical changes is an effect. Cause is found in electrical forces, that are a part of all substances that have Mass. Western medicine ignores the electrical nature of the human physiology, largely due to a lack of understanding, and an inability to profit off of basic facets of nature freely available to us all, electricity, electrostatics, and water – of all things. The body is 75% water by weight. Blood is 95% water. This water has an electrical component as much as all mass and matter in our universe has an electrical component. This electrical component is critical to blood flow, blood carrying capacity, healing, and functions at the cellular level.<BR> <BR> 13.) In your opinion, are all vaccines “suspect” or are there certain vaccines which are still “acceptable” and if yes, which one(s) ?<BR> <BR> It is no longer an opinion as I now have conclusive evidence to show that ALL vaccines are causing the exact same damages for us all in the exact same manner that wild polio virus caused paralysis, respiratory failure (“Iron lungâ€Â), death, bleeding into the brain, and more.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden Speaking<BR> <BR> It is the act of repeat vaccinations, properly spaced apart that is creating one part of the problem. It is the aluminum that is creating a second part of the problem. ALL other foreign substances in vaccines are creating a third part of the problem, like adding fuel to a fire. One does not need to be directly vaccinated to be vaccine injured.<BR> <BR> Vaccines are not the only trigger that adds up to the problem. Sometimes, when the mother is immune tolerant to a specific antigenic determinant, vaccination to the mother will induce the “MASS” ischemic damages to the infant via breast feeding in the same manner that vaccination does, and cause autism (ischemic strokes). Sometimes this will cause “Mobius syndrome” in the prenatal life, 48% of these children have autism and/or childhood schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and autism are the same “beast” in pathophysiology (MASS ischemia) albeit the triggering sequence differs as a function of immunological. Electrostatic, and timing of damages in neurodevelopment.<BR> <BR> The damages acquired are additive and summative with each vaccine. By example, I have now demonstrated that the teen girls that are having severe adverse effects from Gardasil, including death, are actually experiencing a completion of the additive neurovascular damages that were adding up with EACH childhood vaccine. These damages are also an additive for the infants and children in the same manner. These are all ischemic strokes. There is a “breaking point.” If this point is reached, in frequency, duration, or severity, in the toddler years, neuropdevelopmental disorders emerge. If it happens in a teen or adult, a different set of symptoms will emerge. The process is akin to a fast or slow “strangulation†of tissue by impaired fluid dynamics and microvascular circulation, integrity, and repair.<BR> <BR> 14.) In France, since the widespread Hepatitis B vaccination campaign here, many are claiming to suffer from macrophagic myofasciitis (Gherardi, Cherin et all). This is a condition caused by the abnormal stagnation of aluminum crystals resulting in an over-stimulation and over-reaction of the immune system and a whole host of related autoimmune and other problems…. Does your discovery confirm the existence of this kind of illness or have you unearthed a whole different type of condition?<BR> <BR> Yes indeed. This is similar to the Arthus reaction from vaccination, the “Bordet phenomenon, the Sanarelli/Schwatrzman phenomenon, and type IV delayed hypersensitivity responses in mammalian physiology.” “M.A.S.S.” is a series of physiological steps that induces ischemia, to skin, brain, organ, and bone. Aluminum is a coagulator or flocculant. Aluminum has a plus three electrical charge. All positive cations are “coagulators”, they cause particles with mass to come together, agglomerate, sediment, “sludge”Â. Aluminum has 84 times the capacity to cause agglomeration (sludging) as does Sodium (Na+), and element with a singular positive charge.<BR> <BR> We use aluminum in water treatment plants, to cause “sludging”Â, agglomeration, and flocculation so that impurities in water sediment to the bottom of the water. We use aluminum in anti-antiperspirants since they cause “sludging” and blockage of the perspiration ducts in the arm pits. This same sludging is achieved in human tissue and blood flow from vaccinations with aluminum. The ischemic tissue attracts macrophages that attempt to “clean up” the damaged tissue as well as the sedimented aluminum. This causes an inflammatory response (or not). The aluminum cannot readily be removed from the tissue since the large positive charge (from Aluminum) derails the negative electrostatic carrying capacity of the blood where the aluminum has accumulated. The blood vessels, muscle, and fascia in the tissue area will be damaged from the on-going ischemia and the inability to remove aluminum from the area (an electrical charge problem). The macrophages and white blood cells will be called to this area to “clean up.” It is the act of the immune system chronically coming to this tissue area that perpetuate the problem and creates greater disease and the possibility for induction of an autoimmune response, or immunological tolerance through anergy or deletion.<BR> <BR> Blood Stacking<BR> <BR> Remarkably, the immune response, in biomechanics, that causes further tissue damages, in some instances, from macrophagic myofaciitis to Type 1 Diabetes to Parkinson’s disease, to Multiple Sclerosis, to Guillain Barre Syndrome, to Febrile seizures, to Autism-spectrum, to Crohns-Colitis, to Sudden Infant Death – to “you name it.”Â<BR> <BR> 15.) Are the toxic adjuvants in vaccines, like aluminum, the only ones which can trigger the reactions you mention or can vaccine antigens contribute to these reactions also? In other words, in your opinion, if vaccines did not contain aluminum, would this completely solve their toxicity problem or not? Do you feel that all vaccines should be banned, i.e. that it is the whole vaccination philosophy which is at fault, or is it only that vaccines and their ingredients need to be modified to made “good vaccines”?<BR> <BR> Great question. You have clearly been reading some of my posted work. The problem is two-fold:<BR> 1) Electrostatic (positively charged cations like aluminum are pathological in this instance),<BR> 2) Immunological, this is “MASS”Â. Both categories represent a series of processes that can be launched independently or in collaboration which ultimately conspire to cause the mechanism to disease, ischemia, this is step one to all that follows.<BR> <BR> It is in my opinion, backed up with conclusive evidence that all vaccines have to be banned. They are all causing ischemic brain and body damages and chronic illness and disease. Vaccines do not address the cause of disease from infectious agents, MASS and electrostatics of blood flow. It is MASS and the electrostatics that needs to be addressed, not vaccinations for every possible “bug” on planet earth.<BR> <BR> Aluminum, mercury, squalene and other contaminants that have added to the vaccines, are equivalent to viruses and bacteria relative to causing damages to human tissue. They are foreign substances in human physiology that induce electrostatic and immunological responses, both of which derails blood flow as well as can lead to direct tissue damages in their own right.<BR> <BR> Importantly, the vaccines are causing the exact same pathological sequence as wild polio virus does and did to cause paralysis and respiratory failure. This is the same mechanism by which:<BR> 1.) Thalidomide caused babies to be born with no arms and legs.<BR> 2.) Vioxx caused heart attack and stroke.<BR> 3.) Cholesterol lowering drugs are causing myalgia and mysositis.<BR> 4.) Spanish Flu killed 20 million in 1918.<BR> 5.) Swine flu vaccine caused paralysis (see <A HREF="http://www.VacTruth.com">www.VacTruth.com</A>)<BR> 6.) Hep A/ Hep B vaccines are causing multiple sclerosis.<BR> 7.) A series of anthrax vaccines causes female vets to give birth to infants with no arms or legs 18 months after vaccination.<BR> 8.) All vaccines are causing autism spectrum and learning disabilities SIDS and ADHD.<BR> 9.) Repeat flu vaccines are causing dementia.<BR> 10.) Tetanus causes lockjaw, this is ischemic stroke, in evolution, to the brain from blocked blood flow.<BR> 11.) Vaccination induces Guillian Barre Syndrome (these are end vascular strokes, to descending motor tracts in the brain, brain damage!<BR> 12.) Smallpox killed and caused skin lesions, this was dermal ischemia, impaired capillary blood flow.<BR> 13.) Congenital rubella, in the pre-vaccine era, caused ischemic damages to brain body and lung.<BR> <BR> Wild polio virus, measles, and congenital rubella etc. in the pre vaccine era caused the same damages we now see, in a different form, from vaccinations, There is and was no mercury or aluminum with the wild viral infections. Clearly, the problem cannot be solved by removing the aluminum adjuvants. The solution is the control of the electrostatic stability of blood flow and fluid dynamics in addition to controlling the non-specific, generic, immune response sequence, which I now know, and I have called “MASS.”<BR> <BR> Remarkably, MASS and electrostatics contain the answers to pathology prevention as well as to key aspects towards recovery for those harmed – brain and body, across the “MASS” spectrum.<BR> <BR> 16.) What prevents your discoveries from being accepted and taken into account?<BR> <BR> This is something I need to publish, however, I put all my efforts towards putting my evidence before the United States federal Circuit courts as the only way to stop this out of control train wreck is to hold the system accountable in court, broadly, else there will be no dis-incentive to the firms that make vaccines for profit to stop making vaccines available.<BR> <BR> Remarkably, I have made the evidence so glaringly obvious, that you can quite literally, now see for yourself, in the here and now, and going back 70 years ago if damages happened then. This is achieved via the BrainGuardMD.com non-invasive, functional, neurovascular, neuromotor neuroimaging suite.<BR> <BR> 17.) Do you believe that vaccinations have eradicated epidemic diseases?<BR> <BR> No, not at all. All we have done is translated “forest fires” for 1% of the population into chronic and acute “brush fires” for the entire population. Sanitation, nutrition, potable water, proper nutrition and hydration was eradicating epidemic disease. Virulent pathogens can be handles, we simply needed to control the “MASS” response in human physiology along with the electrostatics of blood flow. In this regard, there would have been no infantile paralysis or respiratory failure from wild polio, or death from Spanish flu, or H1N1 for that matter. We can handle the germs, all of them, we simply need to control the magnitude and nature of the immune system response to these virulent pathogens. The same pathological sequence has to be controlled, in human physiology, on an as-needed basis, irrespective of the pathogenic strain or virulence.<BR> <BR> Polio Vaccine<BR> <BR> Polio is now known as aseptic meningitis and a bunch of other names. It never went away. Then again, it was never polio, the virus, that was causing the paralysis and disease, these were ischemic strokes from “M.A.S.S.” All other pathological states flow from this generic common first step to disease.<BR> <BR> 18.) Have you encountered opposition, hassles, threats or obstacles to the publication of your work in the leading medical journals?<BR> <BR> Yes I have. including pulls of my talks as early as 2005 amongst other “pre-emptive” tactics that can be discussed at a later time. For now the issue is on the health and wellness of our fellow beings, my battles are irrelevant.<BR> <BR> Organized medicine has not been kind, although it would have been kind if I simply “played ball.” At the time of my initial discoveries and proof causation proven tools, I was on the boards of directors of two organized medicine bodies in Canada, resident editor, and about to be posted to the newly forming Federation of Specialty physician in Canada. I chose to represent the truth and science and humanity rather than line my own pockets or accept career advancement for “selling out.” This is what a physician takes their oaths to do. This is what a scientist is bound to be true to. This is what a human being does for fellow beings. It is not about being better than ones fellow being, it is about helping one’s fellow being become better. We all have a part to play. As it turns out, these medical discoveries are my small part and the knowledge belongs to humanity, not my pocket book, and not buried in some pharmaceutical firms “knowledge vaults.”<BR> <BR> My work frightens those in the know at the upper echelons, and now in the Federal courts. They will have to brand me a ‘quack’ and destroy my credibility, as they will not and cannot deny the evidence I now bring to bear.<BR> <BR> It is no longer a simple matter of “are vaccines safe?” The repercussions with my “MASS” discoveries is that the entire medical model collapses, the germs are NOT the cause of disease, in an of themselves, this was never the truth, it was just theory.<BR> <BR> 19.) What are your ‘opponents’ main viewpoints and claims?<BR> <BR> They have none. There are no other viewpoints anymore. The truth is self evident now, res ipsa loquitur. All they have to do is come and listen, come and look. ALL who take the time to learn and be educated with the evidence I can now show, are speechless, from pediatric neurologists to all medical and paramedical professionals alike. The vaccine courts have nothing to do with truth. We shall see what viewpoint emerges from that pit in time.<BR> <BR> 20.) In France, the authorities claim that it is only those from the back woods of France who are opposed to the Hepatitis B vaccine and that the link with multiple sclerosis has never been proven. What are your thoughts on this?<BR> <BR> Multiple sclerosis is ischemic damages first, from impaired blood flow, from MASS and de-railed electrostatics of fluid dynamics in human blood. This is also Guillain Barre syndrome. The myelin sheaths around the nerve cables can be damaged by antibodies against myelin basic protein, or other theories like “molecular mimicry.” The bottom line is that the ischemic conditions are coming first. When this is perpetual, waxing an waning, the damages will slowly accumulate, The “cables” of white matter tracts in the grain are also vascular. Even blood vessels have blood vessels (the vasa vasorum) and the white matters tracts, targeted in multiple sclerosis, will be targeted for autoimmune destruction of they are experiencing on-going damages from ischemia. This is achieved with repeat vaccinations, “sludged blood flow”, “MASS”, and derailed fluid dynamics in the microcirculation, brain, body, and the interconnecting tracts of the nervous system.<BR> <BR> 21.) What are your thoughts on the fact that for well over a century, large numbers of doctors have blown the whistle on vaccines, coming together at conferences to inform the world of the dangers of this practice, but their papers, research and statements have fallen on deaf ears. How is it that their warnings have had so little effect?<BR> <BR> Money makes the world go round. The medical model we currently have, is wrong. Some truly believe they are doing the greater good. The political system is controlled by corporate interests with deep pockets. They don’t know what they don’t know. Fear is used to control us all. They have lacked the proof causation proven techniques I have now acquired with the 12-IMAM measurement system. Science is only a man-made statistical, probabilistic, mathematical model that can just as soon discover truth as it can create truth de novo, or cover truth, if the end justifies the means, profit is involved, and they know of no other way to achieve the end we all seek.<BR> <BR> 22.) Have measures been taken against you in your work? Has anyone tried to keep you quiet, to prevent you from speaking about your work?<BR> <BR> There is a restraining order that exists to this day that prevents me from speaking at doctors meetings in Canada. They came after my medical license. My sponsorship to present my work to the world congress of psychiatry, in Cairo, Egypt was canceled in 2005. No one wanted to fund my work, despite being a National scholar who received over ¼ million in 27 academic and research excellence scholarships during my post secondary studies. Our Canada Food and Drug Safety adviser of 40 years, Dr Shiv Chopra, was gag ordered and fired for blowing the whistle as well, on many things, least of which was the ruse of safe and efficacious vaccines.<BR> <BR> I made it to the “Quack-watch” list within 24 hours of speaking in public about my work, for the first time, last October. I suppose this is a badge of honor – albeit in a manner that looks dishonorable to society as a whole.<BR> <BR> I chose to walk away from Western medicine and 20 years of award winning post secondary education last year. I will not go back. I had no choice. My integrity and knowledge prevented continuing on. When the standard of care in medicine forces you to cause harm to a fellow being, and you know this, then one has an ethical dilemma or selective attention. If I remained in the medical profession doing what I now do, saying what I now say, they would take my medical license away, for whatever reason. You would then be told “you cannot listen to Dr. Moulden..he has lost his medical license.” They cannot take away something I choose not to use. My knowledge is not tied to renewing a license. If you drive for twenty years, and choose not to renew your drivers license, this does not negate the fact that you know how to drive a car.<BR> <BR> The only person who knew the true magnitude and reach of my discoveries was Dr Bernard Rimland, founder of the autism research institute and Defeat Autism Network protocol in the United States. Unfortunately, Dr. Rimland passed away a year before I was ready to start coming public with my work.<BR> <BR> Dr Bernard Rimland<BR> <BR> Remarkably, some very prominent scientist-advocates in the autism spectrum world know of my work, however, my work threatens their organizations as well, which creates more blocks. One cannot justify spending a 5 year, 5 million dollar research grant assessing the effects of measles virus on macaque monkeys when someone has shown you that the germs are not causing the disease, let alone autism. You cannot justify charging families $5000 to receive gastrointestinal work ups, when it is now shown that the gastrointestinal problems are a symptom of the same pathology that is causing brain damages, ischemia.<BR> <BR> 23.) Have you ever been called in to testify in court?<BR> <BR> I am before the courts now. Two “torpedoes” in the water I suppose. One case is an adult University professor who now has dementia after Hep A and Hep B vaccines. The other is a case of sudden infant death after DTap/MMR vaccine. These cases will be the litmus test and I have buttressed both with the same evidence, all vaccines, across all diagnostic end points, are creating the same measurable, reproducible, quantifiable, neurological ischemic damages. The courts are dragging their feet.<BR> <BR> The following link to “Baby M.” tells the story, across the board. <A HREF="http://www.vaccinerights.com/forensics.html">http://www.vaccinerights.com/forensics.html</A><BR> <BR> 24.) What, in your opinion, is the role of the WHO, and that of the CDC?<BR> <BR> My opinion is that they are being controlled by the very groups that profits from selling us sickness and disease and symptom based palliative care based on lack of understanding as to the cause of human disease and disorder, in cause, prevention, and treatment. The entire grid of checks and balances has been corrupted, in knowledge, power, direction, goals, methods, beliefs, legislation, and appointments. Human health and wellness cannot be mandated at the end of a syringe or in a one size fits all anything. Cut, burn, and poison is not health care.<BR> <BR> 25.) Why do you think that your work represents one of the most important discoveries in the field of health?<BR> <BR> It is the cause of disease and chronic illness including all of the neurodevelopmental disorders, dementia, many neurological disorders, and….well, pretty much most of what we have put labels to and not quite understood. We have been throwing watermelons at dartboards trying to hit the bulls-eye, not knowing where the bulls eye is. We have been making a mess of things and causing global, needless, pain and suffering, on astronomical numbers. What I have to bring to bear is quite literally a paradigm shift in all health care which takes us from the era of candle making to the era of the electric light bulb with answers, and solutions, that does not require putting foreign substances into our body. It is time we focused in on “bulls eye” in health and wellness. My work paves the way for this era and a return to natural healing arts, including chiropractic, naturopathic, osteopathic, herbology, and traditional Chinese Medicine. This is going to be a tough pill for allopathic medicine and pharmaceutical interests to swallow. Assuredly, with science and self evident truth to share, no one will ever buy or sell another vaccine, in the history to come. This is coming fast. I pray that I am not too late.<BR> <BR> 26.) What do you think of the measures currently being taken in various countries to bring in compulsory vaccination against a potential swine flu pandemic?<BR> <BR> This is genocidal. Those that will be harmed will those that have received the most vaccines since the damages are additive from each vaccination. The younger generations will be hardest hit, immediately and delayed. We are about to inject MASS vaccinations, creating M.A.S.S. disorders, on mass scales. This will be brain and body damages for all.<BR> <BR> The state has no right to meddle, by law or decree, with the sanctity of the human blood, body, or soul. This is the State imposing it’s will over the individual citizen. This is a looming catastrophe that will create the very thing it purports to avert and then some. We have been here before.<BR> <BR> I have attached a second article for you to address this question, complete with pictures to show my point, and make a final heartfelt plea to the citizens of your Countries to please wake up from this titanic ride we are being taken upon, the iceberg is straight ahead. You must take control of the helm – we all must rise to this call, all Nations..now.<BR> <BR> 27.) Do you think it’s possible that governments might institute martial law including enforced and compulsory vaccination?<BR> <BR> The laws have already been passed that support these very acts. Indeed, in the event of a civil uprising, the laws have been changed in North America such that the American military can come into Canada to quell civil up-risings. Once martial law is called, or a global pandemic is called, the individual citizen no longer has any rights, they must receive the vaccinations, else be deemed a threat to national security and public health.<BR> <BR> 28.) What, in your opinion, caused the 1918 “Spanish” flu pandemic?<BR> <BR> Vaccinations’ to the United States military personnel being deployed overseas.<BR> Spanish Flu did not kill 20 million. It was the non-specific “M.A.S.S.” immune hypersensitivity response and loss of electrostatic control of stability of microscopic blood flow that caused clinically silent end vascular, watershed circulation ischemia.<BR> <BR> Spanish Flu<BR> <BR> Ischemic strokes to brain and body were as much a cause of the death from Spanish Flu as it will be with the next “outbreak” via vaccination vectors or wild virus vectors in the community.<BR> <BR> You do not need vaccinations against Spanish Flu anymore than any other pathogenic strain, you need to control the mechanisms in human physiology by which all these v varied pathogens induce disease, this is MASS and electrostatics, also known as “Zeta potential.”<BR> <BR> 29.) What are your thoughts on the various therapies and disciplines used to treat vaccine adverse effects?<BR> <BR> Call me. 1-877-NOW-I-CAN. Assessment first. Diagnosis second. Treatment third, we use darts now to hit bulls-eyes, leave the “watermelons” to allopathy. I have some answers that can be implemented immediately. However, the entire system has been thrown out of balance. The body can heal, brain included. You simply have to target several “bulls-eyes” simultaneously to restore the self healing powers God gave all of our bodies the capacity to do. This will be called the 12-IMAM MASS Victory health recovery series, solutions, and methods. For now, we can be found on-line, for help,<BR> At <A HREF="http://www.BrightStepsForward.org">www.BrightStepsForward.org</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.Therapies4Kids.com">www.Therapies4Kids.com</A>.<BR> <BR> You can create the best band-aids for the world, until the world understands it is sick, and “bleeding”Â, then “band-aids” do not make sense. When the patient, in this case the entire western medical system, is sick and in denial, one cannot offer treatments and new solutions unless the patient agrees what “bleeding” is. Until such time, you are all stuck and I cannot speak of answers, solutions, or “band-aids”Â, as my answers do not make sense yet, those in control of the medical system must admit the problem is real and exists. In this instance, admitting what the problem is also means admitting responsibility, personally, politically, and corporately, this is a heavy price tag to bear, and pill to swallow.<BR> <BR> We will start helping those that seek help. I make no claims. I can cure nothing. If one happens to get better from seeing us — this must be coincidental.<BR> <BR> 30.) Once the “damage is done”, is there no hope or are there other approaches? Can anything be done to treat vaccine damage?<BR> <BR> Yes. The body and brain can heal much the same way a diabetic foot ulcer can heal and a pressure (decubitus) ulcer can heal. This is all blood flow first, in pathology, and in healing. Electrodynamics, remarkably, is as much a part of the healing process as is oxygen, and control of MASS and “zeta.†The hepatic system is critical. The body can detoxify on its own, however, it must be placed in the proper physiological state.<BR> <BR> Thankfully, vaccine injuries, relative to brain functions, have mainly disconnected the white matter connecting cables tracts while leaving the cortical “lightbulbs” (gray matter) intact. The white matter brain cables can re-connect. This means motor and language and sensory functions, including much cognitive function, can be fully recovered. The brains cables will re-grow and re-connect, perfectly and point for point on their own. One has to re-establish the balance on the human body, multiple organ systems. This is all do-able, however, it must be done on a case by case basis as there is no one size fits all here.<BR> <BR> 31.) You are involved in politics also…. Can you tell us what motivated you to go into politics? Vaccination policy could be considered to be a strategic position which is more monopolistic than anything else, don’t you think? Do you hope to change things through your work as a politician? Is your life not more in danger now that you are involved in politics, considering the stand you take on the subject of vaccination?<BR> <BR> When the socio political system is sick and causing disease, it needs a physician. I cannot change this system treating seven patients a day and calling this life and a career.<BR> <BR> Andrew Moulden - CAP<BR> <BR> I would rather change the system, to help the individual, rather than change the individual to help myself. The medical, socio political, and world banking system is controlled by the very groups that are making us all sick. Medical knowledge and scientific truth will not help humanity.<BR> <BR> The only way out of the messes we have created is an informed, educated, participatory, democracy, for, by, and of the people. I hope to inspire citizens to re-claim what rightfully belongs to the people, their Nationhood, inalienable rights, Sovereignty, and control of the issuance and control of the credit and currency of the nation. If the people do not control these critical nodes, then usury, once in control will wreck havoc on every nation, in health, wealth, fundamental rights and freedoms.<BR> <BR> There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Death is inevitable. One should fear more of what they did not do in life knowing what was right than not do what is right in life, knowing right from wrong. Ridicule, poverty, loss of status, wealth, or death, without faith, without hope, you are already dead. I choose to love, for myself and for our fellow man, simply because truth has guided me this way by the choices I have made in my own life. We all have choices to make.<BR> <BR> You will never see a u-haul following a funeral procession, perhaps there is more to life than collecting possessions. God will never fault you for doing the right thing.

Sugar is toxic for mice in dosages that in humans would equal a “safe” diet that includes three cans of soda per day, scientists said on Tuesday.<BR> <BR> Mice fed a diet in which sugar contributed a quarter of their daily calories did not become obese or ill, yet died younger and had fewer babies than animals on a healthy diet, said the team - raising red flags about “added sugar” levels some consider safe for humans.<BR> <BR> <I>“Added sugar”</I> is a term used for the refined stuff that is added to sweet drinks, baked goods and candy rather than the natural sugars found in fruit, vegetables and milk products.<BR> <BR> For their experiment, scientists in the United States split 156 mice into two groups - one fed a normal, healthy diet while the other had naturally-occurring carbohydrates comprising a quarter of their diet replaced by added sugar.<BR> <BR> After 26 weeks, the two groups were placed together to live, compete and breed for a further 32 weeks, during which time all the mice were fed the same diet, said a study in the journal Nature Communications.<BR> <BR> By the end of the experiment, 35 percent of the female mice fed the high-sugar diet died - double the 17-percent death rate for the other group.<BR> <BR> Males on the sugary diet sired 25 percent fewer offspring than those on a healthier diet, and controlled 26 percent less territory.<BR> <BR> “We have shown that levels of sugar that people typically consume - and that are considered safe by regulatory agencies - impair the health of mice,” said biologist James Ruff of the University of Utah, who co-authored the study.<BR> <BR> He referred specifically to a recommendation of the US Institute of Medicine (IOM), which advises on American health policy, that added sugar be limited to 25 percent of energy intake - the level tested in the study.<BR> <BR> The high-sugar mouse diet was meant to replicate the diet of between 13 and 25 percent of Americans - in which three cans of soda or its equivalent in “added sugar” contribute more than 400 calories or about a quarter of daily calories.<BR> <BR> “In the end, we have to ask ourselves the question - if it makes a mouse sick do we want it in our bodies?” said Ruff.<BR> <BR> The study claims to show the lowest level yet of sugar consumption to adversely affect mammalian health - previous research had used concentrations much higher than realistic equivalent human doses.<BR> <BR> Despite differences in mortality and procreation success, there was no measurable difference between the obesity or blood sugar levels of the two groups of mice, the team added.<BR> <BR> This implied that “sugar consumption could be harming people even if they are of healthy weight and have normal blood measurements at their doctor's office,” Ruff told AFP.<BR> <BR> The World Health Organisation recommends an added sugar limit of 10 percent of daily calorie intake, while the American Heart Association advises women to limit their added sugar to 100 calories per day, about six teaspoons of sugar, and men to 150 calories or 9 teaspoons.<BR> <BR> Sugar consumption in the American diet had increased by 50 percent since the 1970s, accompanied by a dramatic rise in diabetes, obesity and heart disease, said the study authors.<BR> <BR> Previous research had shown the average American to be consuming about 22 teaspoons of added sugar per day, some 355 calories.<BR> <BR> <I>“I have reduced refined sugar intake and encouraged my family to do the same,”</I> said the study's senior author Wayne Potts.<BR> <BR> The team insisted the wild mice used in the experiment were an “excellent” animal model for human diet tests, having closely adapted to our diet since the advent of agriculture about 10 000 years ago.<BR> <BR> One critic, however, said the ratio of sugar was higher than that ingested by most people, in Britain at any rate.<BR> <BR> Food studies in the UK have pointed to an average sugar intake of 11 percent of total calories, as high as 17 percent among children in low-income homes - “<I>far less than the amount of sugar given to these mice,”</I> said Catherine Collins, principal dietitian at St George's Hospital in London.<BR> <BR> <I>“It is an interesting piece of work on sugar that doesn't really translate to the diet of an average UK child or adult,”</I> she said.<BR> <BR> The IOM declined to comment. -

The safety announcement states:1<BR> <BR> “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required the drug labels and Medication Guides for all fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs be updated to better describe the serious side effect of peripheral neuropathy.<BR> <BR> This serious nerve damage potentially caused by fluoroquinolones may occur soon after these drugs are taken and may be permanent... The topical formulations of fluoroquinolones, applied to the ears or eyes, are not known to be associated with this risk.<BR> <BR> Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage in the arms and/or legs, characterized by “pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, or a change in sensation to light touch, pain or temperature, or sense of body position.”<BR> <BR> This is not the first warning FDA has posted about this family of antibacterial drugs. In 2008, they posted a black box warning about severe tendon damage. Now having the additional warning for severe and sometimes-permanent nerve damage, there should be NO question in your mind about the danger of these drugs, and I strongly recommend avoiding them if at all possible.<BR> <BR> <B>Just Say “Know”</B><BR> <BR> Fluoroquinolones, a class of synthetic antibacterial drugs, are the only types that directly inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis. Several drugs in this class have been taken off the market due to their deadly adverse effects, but six of them remain FDA-approved for use in the United States:<BR> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMgmZhq1pjYHHRTOTFmPYkiKkDY7I_9O4Oty6assmoTWTAZEtSB1b_1ltFhzeE0XB4JiAbOYsRKhTzEWvcW-x9PtGLikCZ_ecUJTdGPLzAGpirGM-T7h84CJtgrB10LpFGkam-LsE1j54/s1600/cipro-749964.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMgmZhq1pjYHHRTOTFmPYkiKkDY7I_9O4Oty6assmoTWTAZEtSB1b_1ltFhzeE0XB4JiAbOYsRKhTzEWvcW-x9PtGLikCZ_ecUJTdGPLzAGpirGM-T7h84CJtgrB10LpFGkam-LsE1j54/s320/cipro-749964.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5952129106010603042" /></a><BR> <BR> Due to their tremendous health risks, fluoroquinolones should be reserved for treating serious bacterial infections that won’t respond to any other treatment, when the patient is made fully aware of the potential for serious adverse events. Instead, they’re often inappropriately prescribed for mild conditions like sinus, urinary tract and ear infections.<BR> <BR> In fact, fluoroquinolones are among the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States. I highly recommend you take pause before filling a prescription for these drugs, especially if you have a “routine infection” that has not been treated by other agents that have a safer side effect profile.<BR> <BR> You should not expose yourself to this degree of risk unnecessarily! The dangerousness of fluoroquinolones definitely warrants some serious discourse with your health care provider about whether they are really necessary, versus safer treatment options.<BR> <BR> <B>Fluoridated Pharmaceuticals Can Be Extremely Damaging to Your Nervous System</B><BR> <BR> Fluoroquinolones may be the deadliest antibiotics on the market. Besides nerve damage, they have been associated with damage to other body systems, including your musculoskeletal system, eyes and kidneys. What makes these particular drugs so hazardous?<BR> <BR> It has to do with the fact that fluoroquinolones are antibiotics whose potency has been “kicked up” by the addition of a fluoride molecule. Fluoride increases permeability into hard-to-penetrate tissues, such as your brain.<BR> <BR> Fluoroquinolones are quinolones with fluoride molecules attached—so they penetrate your blood-brain barrier. This ability to penetrate sensitive tissues is what makes fluoride such a potent neurotoxin, able to get into your brain and damage your central nervous system.<BR> <BR> In terms of peripheral neuropathy, the FDA was not exactly quick to take action. Twelve years ago Dr. Jay Cohen documented the following fluoroquinolone-related reactions, and as you can see, nervous system problems topped the list.2 Yet it took more than a decade—and many destroyed lives—for the FDA to take action.<BR> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14BJlSiRHnoYw6tv-iKtkgf0a4oUtlul1uRIRSf159cxqxjYtvokyOdaTFAwEgON6M5sp_Vh4Ssj7_ejSuyO2rprYzAMX0XcwqGL0K2Yb004WFWeYFPZh4q2R8iHvsALkcIBSU0W8ud5i/s1600/cipro2-753101.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14BJlSiRHnoYw6tv-iKtkgf0a4oUtlul1uRIRSf159cxqxjYtvokyOdaTFAwEgON6M5sp_Vh4Ssj7_ejSuyO2rprYzAMX0XcwqGL0K2Yb004WFWeYFPZh4q2R8iHvsALkcIBSU0W8ud5i/s320/cipro2-753101.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5952129117603868594" /></a><BR> <BR> Levaquin, the best-selling antibiotic in 2010, actually faces thousands of lawsuits per year from people who have been seriously harmed by taking it. The serious reactions reported from Levaquin include:<BR> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0hh5qWE-mMcHs5MtOZHFt-hBZjGD7KbNiJI9r1aecuFr3Yl7KqnkZBzkE_0FWZDU7Rq7jU-pbl0pCG7JKNBEmxS9QRm3rL6XEiekjPIlumdifABzZSXe_Q2l22N1Ho7PnevCmKc3GhY4s/s1600/cipro3-757369.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0hh5qWE-mMcHs5MtOZHFt-hBZjGD7KbNiJI9r1aecuFr3Yl7KqnkZBzkE_0FWZDU7Rq7jU-pbl0pCG7JKNBEmxS9QRm3rL6XEiekjPIlumdifABzZSXe_Q2l22N1Ho7PnevCmKc3GhY4s/s320/cipro3-757369.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5952129136073006834" /></a><BR> <BR> <B>Fluoroquinolones Destroy Collagen</B><BR> <BR> Animal studies have shown that fluoroquinolones are directly toxic to collagen synthesis and promote collagen degradation.4 Fluoride disrupts collagen synthesis, which may be part of the reason that fluoridated pharmaceuticals can damage your muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments and other structures. <BR> <BR> The fluoroquinolones seem to have an especially detrimental effect on your musculoskeletal system, presumably related to this adverse effect on collagen, which can lead to tendon damage and actual tendon ruptures. This resulted in the FDA’s issuing of a black box warning about tendon damage in 2008.5 Fluoroquinolones are not the only drugs “suped up” by the addition of a fluoride molecule. Prozac (fluoxetine), Prevacid, Baycol, and Dalmane (flurazepam) are also fluorinated.6<BR> <BR> If you or someone you love are placed on these dangerous antibiotics, for whatever reason, one of the ways you can compensate for this toxicity is by taking magnesium. It likely binds to the drugs and prevents it from causing the collagen damage. In fact animal studies have shown that magnesium deficient animals can develop similar damage to those exposed to fluroquinolone drugs. Lack of extracellular magnesium impairs the function of integrins which are transmembrane proteins that connect the cells to the extracellular matrix proteins which provide the functional strength for collagen.<BR> <BR> <B>Are We Heading for Even MORE FDA Warnings?</B><BR> <BR> Two other recent studies may foreshadow even more warnings about fluoroquinolones, in terms of liver toxicity and greater risks for people with diabetes. Are we nearing the time when these drugs should be yanked off pharmacy shelves altogether, rather than just receiving more warnings on their labels?<BR> <BR> Moxifloxacin and levofloxacin were found to increase the risk for acute liver toxicity in people age 66 and up. The findings were published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in August 2012. The authors recommended FDA consider regulatory warnings regarding acute liver toxicity.<BR> Oral fluoroquinolones cause an increased risk of dysglycemia (high blood sugar or low blood sugar reactions) for those with diabetes, according to a study in the August 14, 2013 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases<BR> <BR> <B>Read the rest of Dr.Mercola's article</B> <B><A HREF="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/09/25/fluoroquinolone-antibiotics.aspx">HERE</A> </B><BR> <A HREF="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/09/25/fluoroquinolone-antibiotics.aspx">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/09/25/fluoroquinolone-antibiotics.aspx</A><BR> <BR> Medical Disclaimer<BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

It is a challenging role, since a family doctor needs some understanding of a broad range of physical and psychological conditions.<BR> <BR> With even specialists overwhelmed by the rate of medical developments, are there ways GP care could be improved?<BR> <BR> Urologist Chris Eden said: “I struggle to remain current with the latest research in prostate cancer and can’t imagine trying to keep abreast of advances in all specialities.”<BR> <BR> We ask some of the UK’s leading medical specialists to identify how doctors could enhance the care they provide.<BR> <BR> <B>Faulty heartbeat</B><BR> Dr Glyn Thomas, a cardiologist at the Bristol Heart Institute, said: “People who suffer with atrial fibrillation – irregular heart rhythm – are five times more likely to have a stroke; and those strokes are also more likely to be fatal.<BR> <BR> “Atrial fibrillation patients should be prescribed an anticoagulant such as warfarin to prevent the blood clotting.<BR> <BR> “GPs often prescribe aspirin instead because they fear the risk of internal bleeding. This is nonsense. Not only does aspirin carry the same risks of bleeding, it’s ineffective as an anticoagulant.<BR> <BR> “Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke by 64 percent; aspirin reduces it by 0 percent. The bleeding risk is the same.”<BR> <BR> ‘Warfarin does need careful monitoring, which perhaps is why GPs might not prescribe it, but I think the main reason is they are concerned, wrongly, about excess bleeding.”<BR> <BR> <B>Abdominal pain</B><BR> Dr Peter Fairclough, Harley Street consultant gastroenterologist, said: “I see patients needlessly referred after an attack of upper abdominal pain, which their GP says is gastritis. They recommend investigation with an endoscopy.<BR> <BR> “These patients have gallstones. They won’t be picked up through an endoscopy but with blood tests or ultrasound.”<BR> <BR> <B>Bloated stomach</B><BR> Professor Gordon Jayson, oncologist and ovarian cancer specialist at The Christie Hospital in Manchester, said: “GPs need to listen carefully when a women in her 50s complains of abdominal pain and bloating. It’s easy to think it’s IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) – and in most cases, it will be.<BR> <BR> “But the symptoms could be those of ovarian cancer. The difference is that whereas IBS pain will come and go, the pain from ovarian cancer will be progressive and constant.<BR> <BR> “If it’s the latter, a GP needs to do a blood test for the chemical CA125.<BR> <BR> “If it’s caught early, 95 percent of cases are treatable.”<BR> <BR> “For a GP with only a few minutes to make a diagnosis, IBS is going to be faster and a far more likely diagnosis than ovarian cancer. A study by Target Ovarian Cancer found four in five GPs wrongly thought women with early-stage ovarian cancer had no symptoms.”<BR> <BR> <B>Migraine</B><BR> Dr Andrew Dowson, director of headache services at King’s College Hospital, London, said: “Many GPs will miss a diagnosis of migraine as they think this type of headache has to have an aura preceding an attack, but only one in 10 patients has an aura and only 40 percent of these will get them all the time.<BR> <BR> “A GP needs to recognise the other main symptoms such as one-sided throbbing, nausea or light and sound sensitivity.”<BR> <BR> <B>Eczema</B><BR> Andrew Wright, dermatology professor at the University of Bradford, said: “The routine seems to involve the GP having a quick look, then prescribing a cream, but little direction is given about how much to use. A 30g tube may be given with a request to come back in two weeks if there’s no improvement.<BR> <BR> “The patient thinks the cream must last two weeks, under-treats themselves, the eczema gets worse, they go back to the GP, who refers them to a specialist.<BR> <BR> “If GPs could give proper direction, it would save us all a lot of time.<BR> <BR> “GPs also shouldn’t prescribe aqueous cream – not even to wash with. It’s incredibly damaging to skin, especially children’s.”<BR> <BR> “As a consequence, it breaks the skin down, making eczema worse. Very worryingly, many people are still given it as a moisturiser as it’s the cheapest option.<BR> <BR> “Research has shown more than half of children who used it suffered an immediate bad reaction, such as stinging.”<BR> <BR> <B>Blocked nose</B><BR> Henry Sharpe, a consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon at East Kent Hospital, said: “About 5.2 million people see their GP with a blocked nose. Many will be given antibiotics or nasal spray on the assumption that the cause is congestion.<BR> <BR> “But a blocked nose can be anything from complications of a deviated septum to polyps.<BR> <BR> “I’d like to see referrals to an ENT department if the congestion goes on for over a month. Antibiotics won’t work if it is not a bacterial infection; steroid sprays can have side-effects.”<BR> <BR> <B>Shoulder pain</B><BR> Professor Tony Kochhar, shoulder surgeon at South London Healthcare NHS Trust and BMI The Sloane Hospital, said: “GPs should refer patients with shoulder pain for an ultrasound scan before any other treatment.<BR> <BR> “The anatomy of the shoulder is so complex. It’s very hard for a GP to find the cause.<BR> <BR> “If there is a tear, and a GP sends the patient for physiotherapy – where they’ll often be told to work through the pain – that tear can get worse.”<BR> <BR> <B>Mucus in throat</B><BR> John Rubin, an ear, nose and throat surgeon at the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital in London, said: “I see a lot of patients who have suffered with a post-nasal drip and whose GP has referred them. In fact, it could be something as simple as acid reflux. So rather than referring to a specialist, I’d like GPs first to try a frontline treatment, such as Gaviscon.”<BR> <BR> <B>Painful joints</B><BR> Dr Andrew Bamji, a rheumatologist at Chelsfield Park Hospital, Orpington, said: “Patients with rheumatoid arthritis do much better if they are referred quickly, within four weeks of diagnosis.<BR> <BR> “I’d like to see GPs do better at spotting signs of the disease at its early stages – swelling with the joint pain, morning stiffness and generally feeling under the weather.<BR> <BR> “And one red flag, which can get missed, is anaemia. Eight out of 10 sufferers have this.”<BR> <BR> <B>Swollen leg</B><BR> Eddie Chaloner, consultant vascular surgeon at Lewisham Hospital, says: “Patients with a swollen leg are often given antibiotics because they’re told they have an infection. It’s usually superficial phlebitis – where a vein becomes inflamed and a blood clot forms.<BR> <BR> “Usually it goes away on its own. Antibiotics wouldn’t have any effect.<BR> <BR> “If there hasn’t been any recent wound or surgery and there’s no pus, infection is unlikely to be the cause.”<BR> <BR> <B>Middle-aged spread</B><BR> Christopher Eden, a urologist and prostate cancer specialist at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, said: “Many GPs will advise overweight men in their 40s and older to have a cholesterol test. But men in this bracket are also at risk of prostate cancer, so I wish GPs would offer them a PSA test, too.”<BR> <BR> <B>Hearing loss</B><BR> Dr Myles Black, an ear, nose and throat and thyroid surgeon at East Kent University Hospital, said: “GPs sometimes dismiss sudden hearing loss as ear wax or fluid from an ear infection or cold when it could be caused by sensorineural hearing loss, which requires immediate treatment to prevent permanent hearing loss.<BR> <BR> “What distinguishes sensorineural hearing loss from the blocked-up feeling you get with a cold is that the hearing disappears completely, usually in one ear. With a cold, that hearing may just be muffled.<BR> <BR> “Sensorineural hearing loss – caused when a cold, virus or infection travels to the inner ear – needs speedy treatment with steroids and it worries me that patients could be needlessly losing their hearing because GPs don’t get enough training at medical school to diagnose sensorineural hearing loss.<BR> <BR> “Yet it can be picked up easily using a tuning fork.”’ (This is placed on the forehead and, if hearing is normal, the sound will be heard equally in both ears.) <BR> <BR> Source: <A HREF="http://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/12-mistakes-even-good-medics-make-1.1613323?utm_medium=%5B%27facebook%27%5D&utm_source=dlvr.it">Daily Mail</A> Dr Johan PB Prinsloohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03473732963255596705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775711539255667775.post-17820660748901638952013-11-24T19:04:00.001+02:002013-11-24T19:04:58.003+02:00Patent for Artificial Sweetener Aspartame Verifies it is E. Coli ExcrementWith the patent for the very popular artificial sweetener aspartame recently being released to the public domain comes the bizarre <A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/041766_aspartame_GM_bacteria_patent.html">news</A> that it is actually “harvested” from the excrement of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food">GM</A> E. coli bacteria. <BR> <BR> Wait, what? What are we drinking when we decide to gulp down a soda that’s been sweetened with “artificial sweetener”? Yes. You heard right. E. coli excrement. Pretty disgusting.<BR> <BR> Apparently the E. coli are grown in tanks and, as they defecate, their faecal matter is harvested because it contains aspartic acid-phenylalanine amino acid –the protein needed to make the aspartame. These faecal proteins are then treated with methanol to produce the artificial sweetener.<BR> <BR> Did you get that, Gnarly patriots? Something innocuously labelled “artificial sweetener” on the back of that soda (<A HREF="http://www.livestrong.com/article/389334-a-list-of-foods-containing-aspartame/">or something else</A>) is actually excrement from a deadly bacteria.

Here we look at some of the conditions which deteriorate when dark descends, and how to reduce symptoms.<BR> <BR> ASTHMA<BR> <BR> Night-time coughing is common in people with asthma, with 61 percent saying it prevents them sleeping well.<BR> <BR> Every day in the UK, 200 people with asthma are hospitalised because they are struggling to breathe - many arriving for emergency treatment during the early hours.<BR> <BR> “People with asthma tend to experience worsening symptoms at night, including breathlessness and wheezing, which may lead to A&E attendance,” says Deborah Waddell, a specialist asthma nurse at Asthma UK.<BR> <BR> “There are theories this could be related to the body’s circadian rhythm (24-hour cycle). Levels of hormones such as the stress hormone cortisol change at night, which impacts airways.<BR> <BR> “After midnight breathing rates are at their slowest, resulting in less effective transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide out of the body through the lungs.”<BR> <BR> Bedrooms are also full of common asthma triggers - including house dust mites in bedding, mattresses, soft toys, carpets and curtains.<BR> <BR> Ventilation is often poor - made worse by double-glazed PVC windows which do not permit draughts - and mould spores proliferate in warm, damp environments.<BR> <BR> A horizontal posture may contribute. ‘The cough, when lying down, could be due to pressure on the diaphragm (the muscle separating the chest and abdomen), especially if someone is overweight, has gastric reflux, or post nasal drip, where mucus runs from the nose into the back of the throat.’<BR> <BR> Research shows people who have personal asthma action plans - detailing steps to take when symptoms worsen - are four times less likely to be admitted to hospital as an emergency, Deborah Waddell says.<BR> <BR> ARTHRITIS<BR> <BR> Around 10 million Britons suffer from arthritis, which causes painful inflammation in cartilage and bone in the joints. The most common form is osteoarthritis due to wear and tear, often in the knees, hips and hands -this usually affects the over-50s.<BR> <BR> “Periods of prolonged rest, like sleep, can make pain worse,” explains Philip Conaghan, professor of musculo-skeletal medicine at the University of Leeds and spokesperson for Arthritis Research UK.<BR> <BR> “We’re not sure why, but it’s probably due to joint linings becoming congested with excess fluid used to bathe cells, and protein waste products when joints are immobile for a length of time.<BR> <BR> “These are always present but are usually flushed away from joints and excreted by the body’s mechanisms. This process slows down at night, leading to stiffness and pain which can wake people.”<BR> <BR> Other musculoskeletal conditions such as bursitis in the shoulder - inflammation of tiny fluid-filled sacs responsible for smooth action of joints and tendons - can become more uncomfortable at night. “The pressure of the person’s weight causes problems, and turning over can be painful.”<BR> <BR> Disturbed sleep patterns due to pain can cause fatigue and depressed mood, making daytime symptoms worse. Professor Conaghan advises people with night-time arthritis pain to talk to their GP about swapping from short-acting pain killers, such as paracetamol, to ones that are long lasting.<BR> <BR> “If you are getting severe pain in the middle of the night, see your GP and discuss your concerns,” he says.<BR> <BR> MENOPAUSE<BR> <BR> Waking drenched in sweat is a common symptom of the menopause, caused by the body’s inability to regulate body temperature.<BR> <BR> “We’re not sure about the mechanism but it seems the hormone oestrogen, which falls during the menopause, plays an important role in the functioning of the hypothalamus, the temperature regulation system within the brain,” says Dr Edward Morris, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.<BR> <BR> Night sweats are similar to hot flushes in daytime, but they can feel worse. “When in bed, fully insulated by your duvet, you prevent heat loss,” he explains.<BR> <BR> “You’re also asleep, so not aware your temperature is rising until quite a long way down the process. If women are awake during the day when the same thing happens, they simply open a window or remove clothing.”<BR> <BR> As well as hormone replacement therapy, which boosts oestrogen levels, remedies include “icing” bedding - popping pillows and sheets in the freezer for an hour before bed - and a well-ventilated bedroom.<BR> <BR> HEADACHES<BR> <BR> One of the most painful types of headache, cluster headaches (also known as alarm clock headaches) typically occur around 2am.<BR> <BR> “These are excruciating headaches which can occur at the same time each night. They are so painful they are sometimes known as suicide headaches because people who have them literally want to die,” says Dr Andy Dowson, director of headache services at King’s College Hospital and chairman of Migraine Action’s medical board.<BR> <BR> In fact, 50 percent of people who suffer from migraines - first cousins of alarm clock headaches - say that their condition regularly wakes them from sleep during the night.<BR> <BR> “This may be related to sleep cycles; when people move between periods of deep sleep, rapid eye movement sleep (REM), and almost waking,” says Dr Dowson.<BR> <BR> The area at the bottom of the brain, known as the brain stem, is involved in regulating this sleep cycle and it also plays a role in influencing migraine. “In trials we have found that the early stage of migraine originates in the hypothalamus, which is in the brain stem,” says Dr Dowson.<BR> <BR> Common triggers include skipping meals, certain foods and bright or flickering lights. Unfortunately some triggers, such as changes in weather, may bring on migraine attacks but can’t be avoided.<BR> <BR> Medications that make migraine less likely to occur include anti-depressants, beta-blockers and anti-histamines. In 2010 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence approved the use of Botox as a preventative for chronic migraine.<BR> <BR> HEART DISEASE<BR> <BR> When an attack has started, a class of drugs called triptans (available over the counter) can help to alleviate the symptoms.<BR> <BR> Around half of heart attack deaths occur within one hour of the attack, and most heart attacks occur in the early hours of the morning, from 4am onwards - when A&E staff levels are lower.<BR> <BR> Early morning heart attacks are linked to the platelets in the blood becoming stickier and more prone to clotting.<BR> <BR> This is possibly because of overnight fasting or hormonal changes linked to the body’s 24-hour clock.<BR> <BR> “Additionally, the effect of medication taken the day before starts wearing off at this time. The combination of effects means heart attacks are more likely in the hours before dawn,” explains Martin Cowie, professor of cardiology at Imperial College, London.<BR> <BR> Taking aspirin daily helps make platelets less sticky; taking high blood pressure drugs at night could help, but speak to your doctor before changing your routine.<BR> <BR> GASTRIC REFLUX<BR> <BR> Reflux of stomach acid into the throat is a common cause of indigestion and heartburn.<BR> <BR> It happens when the muscular ring (sphincter) at the lower end of the gullet relaxes too much, allowing the stomach’s acidic contents to flow back up.<BR> <BR> It doesn’t necessarily mean the valve is faulty - smoking and pregnancy hormones (which relax all muscles in the body) can cause it to relax, while eating too much at one time can make the valve open, say researchers at the Mayo Clinic in the US. If you are susceptible, reflux can worsen at night because of gravity - being horizontal makes it easier for stomach contents to pass sideways into the throat. Elevation can prevent this. Tim Worthington, a consultant gastrointestinal surgeon at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, suggests using a pillow to prop yourself up.<BR> <BR> Lifestyle changes, such as not eating too late at night, sticking to a low-fat diet, avoiding caffeine, alcohol and acidic foods, can help.<BR> <BR> Over-the-counter remedies tend to contain calcium carbonate or foaming agents that neutralise acid in the stomach.<BR> <BR> Prescription drugs reduce stomach acid production - these include H2 receptor antagonists (Ranitidine), proton pump inhibitors (Omeprazole) and anti-acid medication. In very serious cases, surgery can tighten the sphincter.<BR> <BR> SHINGLES/COLDS<BR> <BR> Many people say symptoms of viruses such as shingles and colds are worse at night. A study published in 2008 in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management showed pain from shingles, caused by the same virus as chicken pox and affecting older people, does worsen at night.<BR> <BR> Shingles pain can lead to unintentional weight loss, sleeplessness, depression and disability.<BR> <BR> “It is not clear why shingles pain gets worse at night, but it could be to do with levels of neurotransmitters, chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to target cells, and hormones involved in pain perception, rising at night,” says John Oxford, a professor of virology at Queen Mary College University of London.<BR> <BR> He adds that people can become more anxious at night, which amplifies pain sensations. With colds, he says, the explanation may be more prosaic. “The lining of your airways constantly carries debris and fluid out of the lungs into the throat. This process becomes less effective because you’re horizontal, causing congestion and coughing.”<BR> <BR> For shingles, calamine lotion and anti-histamines (a medicine often used to treat allergies) may prevent itching, while paracetamol can help to reduce painful symptoms.<BR> <BR> Some shingles pain may be eased by tricyclic anti-depressants because they affect levels of certain chemicals in your body.<BR> <BR> HEART FAILURE<BR> <BR> Around 750 000 Britons suffer from heart failure, where the heart is too weak to pump enough blood around the body.<BR> <BR> When the heart can no longer pump out enough of the blood it receives from the lungs, fluid builds up in the chest, known as acute heart failure, which can be life-threatening.<BR> <BR> Patients with acute heart failure are most likely to need emergency hospital treatment at around 3am.<BR> <BR> “Heart failure patients often have congestion of fluid in their legs and ankles during the day,” explains Professor Cowie. “If they go to bed at 10pm and lie horizontally, this gradually moves into the chest.<BR> <BR> “Three to five hours later, pressure in the blood vessels has built up so much it can force fluid through the lung tissue and into airways.” Sleeping propped up on pillows can help.<BR> <BR> The problem is that if you need to go to hospital, though you’re more likely to see an experienced consultant after midnight than you would have been ten years ago, “you may not see a specialist when you need it, which can make a big difference to outcomes,” says Professor Cowie.<BR> <BR> BRONCHITIS<BR> <BR> Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) describes a collection of conditions causing lung damage, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, causing inflammation in the lungs, often along with permanent damage to the airways.<BR> <BR> In a recent study, 76 percent of COPD patients reported frequent night-time wakening because symptoms worsened at night.<BR> <BR> Studies have found less air passes through lungs during deep sleep, and dropping body temperature at night affects lung function.<BR> <BR> The body also responds less efficiently to increasing carbon dioxide levels in the blood during sleep, so breathing rates do not rise in the same way as during the day to expel it from the body.<BR> <BR> Excess carbon dioxide eventually causes someone to wake up, often gasping for breath and “oxygen-deprived”. This leads to exhaustion and worse symptoms during the day.<BR> <BR> Dr Nick Hopkinson, spokesman for the British Lung Foundation and a consultant chest physician at the Royal Brompton Hospital, London, says: “Most patients don’t find they’re breathless when they go to bed, but if they wake out of breath, it suggests their COPD is getting worse or could indicate another condition exacerbating symptoms, such as heart failure or asthma.” Keeping the room cool and propping themselves up with pillows can help. - Daily Mail<BR> <BR> Source: <A HREF="http://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/why-illnesses-get-worse-at-night-1.1601856?utm_medium=%5B%27facebook%27%5D&utm_source=dlvr.it">IOL Lifestyle</A> Dr Johan PB Prinsloohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03473732963255596705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775711539255667775.post-20043473683805654232013-10-04T20:03:00.001+02:002013-10-04T20:03:52.730+02:00World's Oldest Are All SmokersMeticulously accurate compilation by Wanda Hamilton<BR> <BR> SMOKERS DIE "EARLY"...<BR> <BR> While this cannot really be considered scientific evidence, it is a fact nevertheless that .....<BR> <BR> The oldest people on Earth all tend to be smokers.<BR> <BR> According to the World Health Organization and the statisticians of the anti-tobacco cartel, however, these are (or will be) all premature deaths, for the simple reason that they are smokers. Therefore, these individuals did (or will) add to the smoking-related death epidemic figures that the charlatans of the numerous anti-tobacco organizations keep waving in front of politicians, media, and public.<BR> <BR> Says who that smoking kills? Good habits such as smoking are the secret of goodlife- In spite of the drumming propaganda, every record of super-longevitybelongs to smokers. Here is the case of Zhang Shuqing, a centenarian inPixian, Sichuan, China, turned 100 on May 7, and who "buried" his own daughter - probably a non smoker! - eight years ago. Jokes aside, one is to think and really ponder on this. Record-setters of longevity are ALL smokers with a lot of other "bad" habits: Zhang also eats like a pig, including adaily bowl of pork fat! A paradox? Hold on: what is a paradox? Something contrary to scientifically established facts, or contrary to BELIEFS passed as scientific facts? Let's face it: if smoking were such a "bad" habit Zhang and so many like him would not be here to prove the opposite, would they?<BR> <BR> Every smoker who dies is logged as a tobacco-related death to beef up mortality statistics and imply that those who don't smoke are either immortal, or live much longer lives. And when they die (...sorry, IF they die) they are not logged as a tobacco-related deaths even if they died of the identical diseases of smokers. ... How else do you think that the anti-tobacco cartel builds up its statistical garbage about the "smoking epidemic?"<BR> <BR> The Big 115: another ancient smoker has a birthday party - August 28, 2006 - A reader tipped us off to this story of the ex-smoker, never-drinker who was already six when the U.S. seized Puerto Rico from Spain in 1898. "I never damaged my body with liquor," said Mercado, who quit a 76-year smoking habit when he was 90. Happy birthday, Mr. Mercado del Toro!<BR> <BR> The tobacco death toll - February 26, 2003 - Mercilessly, tobacco keeps harvesting an endless number of premature victims. Day after day millions of cigarettes are produced by criminals who KNOW that each and every one of their customers will DIE - and there is no escape, and no more unquestionable truth: if you smoke, you die. This is the case of the late John McMorran, of Lakeland, Florida. He smoked cigars, drank beer and ate greasy food - and now he has paid the dear price for a life turned that stands as an insult to the health crusaders. John was born June 19, 1889, in a log cabin in Michigan, and he was the oldest American living - but he could have lived longer. And that is not all; it is well known that smoking causes blindness and ear problems. In fact, "McMorran's eyesight failed in his final years, and people needed to shout for him to hear them. "What a waste. This is what tobacco does to you. May this epitaph stand as warning to the young, so that they learn to NEVER make John's mistakes, and turn into statistical deaths.<BR> <BR> The Italian Massacre -February 26, 2003 - In the meantime, we get a full dimension of what tobacco does to people in other countries as well. The Italian daily "Libero" has just reported updates on the Tobacco Massacre of Milan last February 6th. Out of a population of 2.2 million in that city, there are 646 people whose lives will, inevitably, be cut short - shortly after they turn 100. Two ofthem are already 110, five are 109 and 12 are 106. Another 217 are only 100,167 just turned 101, and 115 are 102. But that's not over. Over 35,000 Milanese are in the age range between 85 and 94, and another 92,000 are between 75 and 84. You can see them in the polluted Italian city with their dogs, in the typical little bars, indulging in despicable habits such as coffee, grease-filled brioches, alcohol and - worst of all - smoking Tuscan cigars that stink more than any diesel tailpipe, poisoning their peers. Some of them even "do" cigarettes, having indulged in the deadly habit for over 94 years. Imagine how dirty their lungs are. According to the daily, in fact, the overwhelming majority of these people either smokes, drinks, or eats fatty foods. Most even do it all. No wonder the heroic health authorities must intervene to stop the carnage. It's either now or never!<BR> <BR> Tobacco Claims Two More - The Philippines lost one of that country's most prolific and beloved composers and lyricists. Levi Celerio, who wrote the lyrics for more than 4,000 folk, Christmas and love songs, died after a bout of emphysema. Obituaries noted that Mr. Celerio was a chain smoker. He was 91. He is survived by his third wife and the 12 children he managed to father despite the impotence caused by tobacco. From the other side of the world, the United Kingdom mourns the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. The mother of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother was a bon vivant who loved horse racing, gin cocktails and, sadly, cigarettes. It was the latter, the beastly coffin nails, that did her in. She was 101 years old.<BR> <BR> Television Pioneer's Life Cut Short - "His trademark cigar rarely left his hand. In an interview two years ago, Berle said he'd smoked cigars since he was 12. "I figure if George Burns can smoke 20 cigars a day his whole life and live to be 100, why should I worry if they're bad for me?" We note the passing of Milton Berle with sadness and anger at a creative life cut short by excessive tobacco use. Mr. Berle died Wednesday from colon cancer. He was 93.<BR> <BR> Smoking Kills Famous Director - Succumbing to a life time of smoking, Hollywood director Billy Wilder died Wednesday at the age of 95. The 6-time Oscar winner directed such classics as "Some Like It Hot" and "Sunset Boulevard". His 1955 movie "The Seven Year Itch" made a contemporary icon of Marilyn Monroe's pose over a New York subway vent. The premature deaths of these two well-known victims of tobacco give added urgency to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's campaign to eliminate smoking from movies. Once smoking is banished from the silver screen, the focus can be shifted to the people who make and star in the movies. The carnage must be halted.<BR> <BR> Gregorio Fuentes - Cut Down By Tobacco Before His Time - Gregorio Fuentes, who skippered Ernest Hemingway's fabled fishing boat, the Pilar, for more than 20 years and is said to have been the writer's inspiration for the embattled fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea," has died. He was 104. Fuentes died of cancer Sunday at his home in Cojimar, the quiet Cuban fishing village about 10 miles east of Havana where Hemingway used to dock the Pilar. Smoking until the end, Fuentes is sad proof that tobacco kills.<BR> <BR> John Berry - John Berry, a rugged-faced pipe smoker, a stage and movie director, writer and actor who made more than 50 films and, entangled in the blacklist, exiled himself from Hollywood during the anti-Communist inquests of the 1950s, died Nov. 29, 1999 at his home in Paris. He was 82. Another premature, tobacco-related death, no doubt. <BR> <BR> Isabella Gibson ready to celebrate her 99th - Another smoker approaches one century of life. Gambling, smoking, and enjoying life does not seem to have cut short the life of this person, though she will certainly be logged as yet another "premature, tobacco-related death" by the crooked statistics desing to create numbers proving the Lie of the Century. Isabella seems to be still in good health, notwithstanding osteoporosis (smoking-related, no doubt). Happy birthday, Isabella -- and keep on smokin'! <BR> <BR> Wencelao Moreno: another victim bites the dust - It's with extreme sadness that we report the sad demise of Wencelao Moreno of a smoking related illness. Mr. Moreno, better known as "Senor Wences" of the "Ed Sullivan Show" was 103. During the benighted era when ash resided in ash trays rather than dictating policy in Washington, Senor Wences joked, drank and smoked with his puppets on T.V. All his puppets died of secondhand smoke decades ago. Although his premature passing is sad, his death is warning to us all that smoking kills. <BR> <BR> Mme Jeanne Calment, who was listed as the world's oldest human whose birth date could be certified, died at 122. She had begun smoking as a young woman. At 117 she quit smoking (by that age she was just smoking two or three cigarettes per day because she was blind and was too proud to ask often for someone to light her cigarettes for her). But she resumed smoking when she was 118 because, as she said, not smoking made her miserable and she was too old to be made miserable. She also said to her doctor: "Once you've lived as long as me, only then can you tell me not to smoke." Good point! [USA Today, "Way to go, champ," 10/18/95].<BR> <BR> When Mme. Calment died at 122 in l997, the new longevity champ became 116-year-old Marie-Louise Meilleur, of Canada. Mme. Meilleur had chain-smoked all her adult life (as her grandson said, "She always had a cigarette dangling from her lips as she worked,"--AP, 8/15/97, reported in Miami Herald, p. 2A). She did give up smoking, however, when she was nearly 100.<BR> <BR> The world's oldest man is (unless he has died since the last report I have, which is l997) Christian Mortensen, ll4 in l997, who has been a cigar smoker for most of his life--and still smokes them. [San Francisco Chronicle, "114 and Still Smoking," Peter Fimrite, 8/5/97, p.A13].<BR> <BR> Britain's oldest man, George Cook, died at 108 in his sleep in September, l997. He "smoked heavily for 85 years before giving up tobacco at the age of 97," ("World Briefs," Houston Chronicle, 9/29/97).<BR> <BR> The Scottish Daily Record (12/15/97) reported on Ivy Leighton, 100, who smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 84 years, but cut down somewhat after her 100th birthday. April claimed smoking was the key to her long life.<BR> <BR> There are two men who claim to be the world's oldest living humans, but their birth dates cannot be certified. One is Ali Mohammed Hussein, who claimed to be 135, of Lebanon. He "smokes like a chimney," but does not drink alcohol [CNN World News, "Born in l862," Brent Sadler, 5/13/l997].<BR> <BR> The title is also claimed by Narayan Chaudhari, a Nepalese man who says he is 141. However, his birth date also cannot be certified. He too is a heavy smoker and says the secret of his longevity is "raw tobacco and no alcohol." [Nando net, Agence France-Press, "Nepalese man claims to be 141, which would make him world's oldest", 2/12/98]. <BR> <BR> Source: Forces - The Evidence <A HREF="http://www.forces.org/evidence/hamilton/other/oldest.htm">http://www.forces.org/evidence/hamilton/other/oldest.htm</A><BR> <BR> <B>Further reading</B><BR> <BR> Top 10 Oldest People Ever<BR> <A HREF="http://listverse.com/2010/02/07/top-10-oldest-people-ever/">http://listverse.com/2010/02/07/top-10-oldest-people-ever/</A><BR> <BR> 125 Year Old Woman Claimed Smoking Pot Everyday Was Her Secret to Long Life<BR> <A HREF="http://valetudocafe.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/125-year-old-woman-claimed-smoking-pot-everyday-was-her-secret-to-long-life/">http://valetudocafe.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/125-year-old-woman-claimed-smoking-pot-everyday-was-her-secret-to-long-life/</A><BR> <BR> Effect of cigarette smoking on nitric oxide, structural, and mechanical properties of mouse arteries<BR> "In summary and in conclusion, the present study demonstrates that CS has an immediate and substantial effect on structural and elastic properties of mouse coronary arteries which highly correlated with a decrease in NO bioavailability.

In the morning I had half a pint of sherry, for lunch a gin and tonic and around 7pm a small ginger ale with a bit of whisky. These days I just have a sherry now and again.<BR> <BR> “I decided to pack in smoking when I was 103 because I got bronchitis and the doctor warned me my life was in danger!<BR> <BR> “I used to smoke 20 a day but not any more. I have been tempted to have the odd cig at Christmas or New Year along with pink champagne, which is my favourite drink of all time.<BR> <BR> “So much for smoking and drinking isn’t good for you. I am living proof that a little of what you fancy does you good. And I think not having had kids has helped. That’s probably why I look and feel so good.”<BR> <BR> Dorothy, of Bridlington, east Yorkshire, vividly remembers the sinking of the Titanic and being bombed out twice in the war when she lived and worked as a secretary in Hull.<BR> <BR> She said: “Everyone was really shocked when the Titanic sank. There was sadness everywhere. I’ve lived through two world wars. In the second, the shelter I was in was bombed but I wasn’t scared really.<BR> <BR> “A bomb fell next door and my neighbours were killed. That was sad.”<BR> <BR> Dorothy has lived in residential care for the past 13 years.<BR> <BR> Her key worker Alison Gibson said: “She gives us a run for our money! She is wonderful, is independent, loves to choose her own clothes and dress herself.<BR> <BR> “She will not wear slippers and insists on wearing her bespoke court shoes with a 2in heel. She’s very elegant and knows her own mind.”<BR> <BR> The oldest woman in the UK is Grace Adelaide Jones who is 113 and lives in Bermondsey, south-east London.<BR> <BR> Source: <A HREF="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/341603/A-111-year-old-s-secret-to-a-long-life-20-cigs-a-day-and-a-pint-of-sherry-for-breakfast">http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/341603/A-111-year-old-s-secret-to-a-long-life-20-cigs-a-day-and-a-pint-of-sherry-for-breakfast</A><BR> <BR> Medical Disclaimer<BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

We believe that the discovery is important because it shows how physiological states may impact on our choices between sugars and sweeteners. Specifically, it implies that humans frequently ingesting low-calorie sweet products in a state of hunger or exhaustion may be more likely to ‘relapse’ and choose high calorie alternatives in the future. The results suggest that a ‘happy medium’ could be a solution; combining sweeteners with minimal amounts of sugar so that energy metabolism doesn’t drop, while caloric intake is kept to a minimum.”</I><BR> <BR> Araujo’s team found that eating foods with artificial sweeteners causes the body to become hungry and increase the desire for more sugar later.<BR> <BR> Dopamine is the chemical that sends messages to the brain and controls behavior, emotional response and pleasure. Dopamine plays an influential role in addiction as well.<BR> <BR> By monitoring mice, researchers identified specific brain circuits that fired up as the mice were fed sugar, than artificial sweeteners.<BR> <BR> Araujo <A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-09/w-tbc092013.php">said</A><A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-09/w-tbc092013.php"> </A>: <I>“According to the data, when we apply substances that interfere with a critical step of the ‘sugar-to-energy pathway’, the interest of the animals in consuming artificial sweetener decreases significantly, along with important reductions in brain dopamine levels.”</I><BR> <BR> When the <I>“hungry mice – who thus have low sugar levels – are given a choice between artificial sweeteners and sugars, they are more likely to completely switch their preferences towards sugars even if the artificial sweetener is much sweeter than the sugar solution.”</I><BR> <BR> David Ludwig, professor at Harvard University asserts that artificial sweeteners <A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Health_Letter/2011/December/are-artificial-sweeteners-a-good-alternative-to-sugar">lead to weight gain</A><A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Health_Letter/2011/December/are-artificial-sweeteners-a-good-alternative-to-sugar"> </A>because they <I>“desensitize the taste buds”</I> by tricking the brain into thinking that something sweet has been consumed.<BR> <BR> Researchers at Purdue University have analyzed studies and data regarding the correlation between the consumption of diet soda and the body mass index (BMI) of those customers using the product. Findings show that the artificial sweeteners are the culprit for health problems and dietary issues.<BR> <BR> Artificial sweeteners used in diet soda tricks the body into thinking that it is consuming calories; yet this has disastrous effects physiologically.<BR> <BR> Susan Swithers, behavioral neuroscientist and professor of psychological sciences for Purdue University <A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.cell.com/trends/endocrinology-metabolism/">said</A>: <I>“Honestly, I thought that diet soda would be marginally better compared to regular soda in terms of health. But in reality it has a counterintuitive effect. You’ve messed up the whole system, so when you consume real sugar, your body doesn’t know if it should try to process it because it’s been tricked by the fake sugar so many times.”</I><BR> <BR> Swithers explained that <I>“accumulating evidence suggests that frequent consumers of these sugar substitutes (such as aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin) may also be at increased risk of … metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”</I><BR> <BR> Swithers and Professor Terry Davidson discovered that while <I>“artificial sweeteners may disrupt the body’s natural ability to ‘count’ calories based on foods’ sweetness. This finding may explain why increasing numbers of people in the United States lack the natural ability to regulate food intake and body weight. The researchers also found that thick liquids aren’t as satisfying – calorie for calorie – as are more solid foods.”</I><BR> <BR> Davidson pointed out: <I>“The body’s natural ability to regulate food intake and body weight may be weakened when this natural relationship is impaired by artificial sweeteners. Without thinking about it, the body learns that it can use food characteristics such as sweetness and viscosity to gauge its caloric intake. The body may use this information to determine how much food is required to meet its caloric needs.”</I><BR> <BR> When artificial sweeteners are used, the experience inhibits the body’s natural ability to judge the caloric intake of the content of the food taken in.<BR> <BR> Swithers warns: <I>“Increased consumption of artificial sweeteners and of high-calorie beverages is not the sole cause of obesity, but it may be a contributing factor. It could become more of a factor as more people turn to artificial sweeteners as a means of weight control and, at the same time, others consume more high-calorie beverages to satisfy their cravings.”</I><BR> <BR> Traditionally, Stevia <A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://healthlibrary.epnet.com/GetContent.aspx?token=e0498803-7f62-4563-8d47-5fe33da65dd4&chunkiid=21876#P4">was used</A><A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://healthlibrary.epnet.com/GetContent.aspx?token=e0498803-7f62-4563-8d47-5fe33da65dd4&chunkiid=21876#P4"> </A>to <I>“prevent pregnancy”</I> and <I>“some researchers have expressed concern that stevia might have an antifertility effect in men or women.”</I><BR> <BR> The World Health Organization (WHO) <A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v042je07.htm">admitted</A><A HREF="http://therebel.org/%20http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v042je07.htm"> </A>that oral administration of S. rebaudiana (Stevia) “was reported to cause a severe, long-lasting reduction in fertility”; however results of testing were “poorly specified or of variable quality.”<BR> <BR> Based on this, there is an assumed “safe” dose of Stevia.

According to Paul Van der Velpen, sugar is the most dangerous and addictive substance of modern times, and more needs to be done in the interests of public health to make people aware of the many harms caused by this ubiquitous drug.<BR> <BR> Van der Velpen delves into the actual science behind how the body responds to sugar as opposed to protein and fat. In his letter, Van der Velpen explains that sugar intensifies food cravings, for instance, and causes people to eat far more than they otherwise would without it. Additionally, he points out that sugar also disrupts normal food metabolism, eventually leading to addiction.<BR> <BR> <I>"Just like alcohol and tobacco, sugar is actually a drug,"</I> writes Van der Velpen, in an English translation from the original Dutch. <I>"This may seem exaggerated and far-fetched, but sugar is the most dangerous drug of the times and can still be easily acquired everywhere ... The use of sugar should be discouraged. And users should be made aware of the dangers."</I><BR> <BR> <I>"Sugar is actually a form of addiction,"</I> adds Van der Velpen. <I>"It's just as hard to get rid of the urge for sweet foods as of smoking. Thereby diets only work temporarily. Addiction therapy is better ... Health insurers should have to finance addiction therapy for their obese clients."</I><BR> <BR> Full article at : <A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/042209_sugar_addictive_substances_cigarettes.html">http://www.naturalnews.com/042209_sugar_addictive_substances_cigarettes.html</A><BR> <BR> Sources for this article include:<BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/10314705/Sugar-is-addictive-and-the-most-dangerous-drug-of-the-times.html">http://www.telegraph.co.uk</A><BR> <BR> You can read Van der Velpen's full letter, as translated into English using Google Translate, here:<BR> <A HREF="http://translate.google.com">http://translate.google.com</A> or<BR> <BR> The original Dutch article, here:<BR> <BR> Suiker, de gevaarlijkste drug van deze tijd<BR> <A HREF="http://www.ggd.nl">http://www.ggd.nl</A><BR> <BR> Medical Disclaimer<BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

An added bonus is that your milk won’t need to stand up to long distance shipping and prolonged storage, so you can pasteurize it safely using lower heat and less time than many industrial milk producers use. All you need is a stainless steel pot and a simple kitchen thermometer. Just follow these simple steps for home pasteurization:<br> <ol> <li>Pour the raw milk into the stainless steel pot. If you have a double boiler, that will work even better to keep the milk from scalding. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can put one stainless steel pot inside a larger pot with a few inches of water at the bottom. If you can’t achieve this setup, then you’ll just need to be careful to heat the milk gently.</li> <li>Slowly heat the milk to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally. If you are not using a double boiler, stir frequently to avoid scalding the milk.</li> <li>Hold the temperature at 145 F for exactly 30 minutes. You may need to increase and decrease the heat to keep the temperature constant.</li> <li>Remove the pot of milk from the heat and place it in a sink or large bowl filled with ice water. Stir constantly until the temperature drops to 40 F.</li> <li>Store pasteurized milk in the refrigerator.</li> </ol> NOTE: This information is in accordance with numerous respected cookbooks, including the timeless Joy of Cooking (Simon & Schuster, 2007) and the cheesemaker’s trusty resource, Home Cheese Making (Storey, 2002).<br> <br> — Tabitha Alterman, senior associate editor<br> <br> Source: <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/pasteurize-raw-milk-at-home.aspx#axzz2efxHP7SE">http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/pasteurize-raw-milk-at-home.aspx#axzz2efxHP7SE</a><br> <br> Dr Johan PB Prinsloohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03473732963255596705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775711539255667775.post-81927670638220051162013-08-20T00:40:00.001+02:002013-08-20T00:40:55.041+02:00Coffee May Contribute To A Healthy LiverStudy leader Paul Yen, M.D., associate professor and research fellow at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School. Credit: Duke-NUS<BR> <BR> A team of researchers suggest that increased coffee intake may reduce fatty liver in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).<BR> <BR> And here you thought it was just delicious.<BR> <BR> Worldwide, 70 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes and obesity have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the major cause of fatty liver not due to excessive alcohol consumption. It is estimated that 30 percent of adults in the United States have this condition, and the authors in Singapore say its prevalence is rising there. <BR> <BR> There are no effective treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease except diet and exercise. <BR> <BR> Using cell culture and mouse models, the study led by Paul Yen, M.D., associate professor and research fellow, and Rohit Sinha, Ph.D of the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School's Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders Program in Singapore, observed that caffeine stimulates the metabolization of lipids stored in liver cells and decreased the fatty liver of mice that were fed a high-fat diet. <BR> <BR> These findings suggest that consuming the equivalent caffeine intake of four cups of coffee a day may be beneficial in preventing and protecting against the progression of NAFLD in humans.<BR> <BR> Or tea. But coffee is the Official Drink of Science.<BR> <BR> "This is the first detailed study of the mechanism for caffeine action on lipids in liver and the results are very interesting," Yen said. "Coffee and tea are so commonly consumed and the notion that they may be therapeutic, especially since they have a reputation for being "bad" for health, is especially enlightening."<BR> <BR> The team said this research could lead to the development of caffeine-like drugs that do not have the usual side effects related to caffeine, but retain its therapeutic effects on the liver. It could serve as a starting point for studies on the full benefits of caffeine and related therapeutics in humans.<BR> <BR> Citation: Rohit Anthony Sinha, Benjamin L. Farah, Brijesh K.

Males were also found to have impaired ability to hold territory, according to the study authors.<BR> <BR> <I>"Our results provide evidence that added sugar consumed at concentrations currently considered safe exerts dramatic adverse impacts on mammalian health,"</I> the researchers explain. (<A HREF="http://www.newswise.com/articles/sugar-is-toxic-to-mice-in-safe-doses">SOURCE</A>)<BR> <BR> One of the study authors, James Ruff, explained that even though the mice did not show observable symptoms of obesity or diabetes, a careful monitoring of their behavior showed that they died more frequently and reproduced less frequently.<BR> <BR> The study was brilliantly designed to mimic the real-world competitive living environment among mice, forcing them to compete for territory (nesting beds) and reproductive partners. Interestingly, the study found that the toxic effect of feeding the mice refined white sugar was <B>equal to being inbred mice</B> (i.e. offspring of first cousens).<BR> <BR> Read the rest of this shocking article at: <A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/041629_refined_sugar_mortality_experiment.html">http://www.naturalnews.com/041629_refined_sugar_mortality_experiment.html</A><BR> <BR> <FONT SIZE="4"><B>New Study: Low Levels of Sugar harms Health, Reproduction and Self-defense!</B></FONT><BR> <BR> A new study from the University of Utah has shown that mice—often used in such tests because they display very similar reactions as do humans—eat a diet of 25 percent extra sugar, females died at twice the normal rate and males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce.<BR> <BR> The extra sugar—equivalent to a human diet plus three cans of soda a day—was analysed in a toxicity test developed at the University of Utah.<BR> <BR> <I>“Our results provide evidence that added sugar consumed at concentrations currently considered safe exerts dramatic adverse impacts on mammalian health,”</I> the researchers say in the study released by the journal Nature Communications.<BR> <BR> <I>“This demonstrates the adverse effects of added sugars at human-relevant levels,”</I> says University of Utah biology professor Wayne Potts, the study’s senior author. He says previous studies using other tests fed mice large doses of sugar disproportionate to the amount people consume in sweetened beverages, baked goods and candy.<BR> <BR> <I>“I have reduced refined sugar intake and encouraged my family to do the same,”</I> he adds, noting that the new test showed that the 25 percent <I>“added-sugar”</I> diet – 12.5 percent dextrose (the industrial name for glucose) and 12.5 percent fructose – was just as harmful to the health of mice as being the inbred offspring of first cousins.<BR> <BR> Even though the mice didn’t become obese and showed few metabolic symptoms, the sensitive test showed <I>“they died more often and tended to have fewer babies,”</I> says the study’s first author, James Ruff, who recently earned his Ph.D. at the University of Utah.<BR> <BR> “We have shown that levels of sugar that people typically consume – and that are considered safe by regulatory agencies – impair the health of mice.”<BR> <BR> The new toxicity test placed groups of mice in room-sized pens nicknamed “mouse barns” with multiple nest boxes – a much more realistic environment than small cages, allowing the mice to compete more naturally for mates and desirable territories, and thereby revealing subtle toxic effects on their performance, Potts says.<BR> <BR> <I>“This is a sensitive test for health and vigor declines,”</I> he says, noting that in a previous study, he used the same test to show how inbreeding hurt the health of mice.<BR> <BR> <I>“One advantage of this assay is we get the same readout no matter if we are testing inbreeding or added sugar,”</I> Potts says. <I>“The mice tell us the level of health degradation is almost identical”</I> from added-sugar and from cousin-level inbreeding.<BR> <BR> The study says the need for a sensitive toxicity test exists not only for components of our diet, but <I>“is particularly strong for both pharmaceutical science, where 73 percent of drugs that pass preclinical trials fail due to safety concerns, and for toxicology, where shockingly few compounds receive critical or long-term toxicity testing.”</I><BR> <BR> The experimental diet in the study provided 25 percent of calories from added sugar – half fructose and half glucose – no matter how many calories the mice ate. Both high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar (sucrose) are half fructose and half glucose.<BR> <BR> Potts says the National Research Council recommends that for people, no more than 25 percent of calories should be from <I>“added sugar,”</I> which means “they don’t count what’s naturally in an apple, banana, potato or other nonprocessed food. … The dose we selected is consumed by 13 percent to 25 percent of Americans.”<BR> <BR> The diet fed to the mice with the 25 percent sugar-added diet is equivalent to the diet of a person who drinks three cans daily of sweetened soda pop <I>“plus a perfectly healthy, no-sugar-added diet,”</I> Potts says.<BR> <BR> Ruff notes that sugar consumption in the American diet has increased 50 percent since the 1970s, accompanied by a dramatic increase in metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, fatty liver and cardiovascular disease.<BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-08/uou-sit080713.php">Read the entire release here.</A><BR> <BR> The above article was first published at: <A HREF="http://davidduke.com/new-study-sugar-is-toxic-to-mice-in-safe-doses/?fb_source=pubv1">http://davidduke.com/new-study-sugar-is-toxic-to-mice-in-safe-doses/?fb_source=pubv1</A><BR> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Sources for the above article include:</FONT></B> <UL> <LI><A HREF="http://www.newswise.com/articles/sugar-is-toxic-to-mice-in-safe-doses">http://www.newswise.com/articles/sugar-is-toxic-to-mice-in-safe-doses</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130813111722.htm">http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130813111722.htm</A> <LI><A HREF="http://science.naturalnews.com/sugar.html">http://science.naturalnews.com/sugar.html</A> <LI><A HREF="http://science.naturalnews.com/Fructose.html">http://science.naturalnews.com/Fructose.html</A> </UL> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Related articles</FONT></B> <UL> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/008164.html">American Diabetes Association peddling nutritional nonsense while accepting money from manufacturer of candy and sodas</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/026468_sugar_Amazon_corn.html">High-Fructose Corn Syrup and Diabetes: What the Experts Say</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/022692_sugar_xylitol_stevia.html">The Harmful Effects of Sugar and Choosing Healthy Alternatives</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/009797.html">The politics of sugar: why your government lies to you about this disease-promoting ingredient</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/009333.html">Sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and type II diabetes</A> <LI><A HREF="http://www.naturalnews.com/028996_palm_sugar_natural_sweetener.html">Why Organic Palm Sugar is the next big thing in natural sweeteners</A> <LI><A HREF="http://davidduke.com/how-many-teaspoons-of-sugar-in-two-thin-slices-of-whole-wheat-bread/">Guess How many Teaspoons of Sugar in Two Thin Slices of Whole Wheat Bread?</A> <LI><A HREF="http://davidduke.com/dr-william-davis-must-see-videos-on-why-modern-wheat-is-toxic-to-your-health/">Dr. William Davis — Must See Videos on Why Modern Wheat is Toxic to Your Health!</A> <LI><A HREF="http://davidduke.com/diet-is-the-key-to-weight-control/">Exercise is Essential but What You Eat and How Much is most Important for Health!</A> <LI><A HREF="http://davidduke.com/low-carb-high-protein-diet-reduces-seizure-rate-in-epilepsy-sufferers/">Low Carb, High Protein Diet Reduces Seizure Rate in Epilepsy Sufferers</A> </UL> <BR> Medical Disclaimer<BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

With dozens of vaccines being forced on the public, some healthy skepticism could go a long way toward raising a vibrantly healthy child.<BR> <BR> My background as a medicinal chemist taught me to rely on proven research. I learned to be less sensitive to emotional arguments and more sensitive to facts supported by reproducibility. This is one of the main principles of the scientific method. It refers to the ability of a test or experiment to be accurately reproduced. As a parent, I have a responsibility to use my training to make decisions for my family. Especially when it comes to potentially dangerous vaccinations.<BR> <BR> In my own research, I have uncovered facts that every parent should be aware of. Here are three primary reasons why I have not and will not vaccinate my own children and why I’ve used vaccine exemption forms for public school and more:<BR> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Reason #1: Vaccination Does Not Always Mean “Immunization”</FONT></B><BR> <BR> Vaccines are purported to work by triggering the body’s natural immunity. By injecting weak or dead infectious agents through our skin, it’s believed that the body will create the appropriate immune defense. They are even called “immunizations.”<BR> <BR> And while this idea is over two hundred years old, it’s not nearly as effective as the pharmaceutical companies, doctors and government agencies want you to believe.<BR> <BR> At best, vaccines boost our defenses only temporarily. That’s because your immune system is programmed to recognize and attack invaders that come through the biological “front door.” That would be your nose, mouth and eyes. It doesn’t work properly when we shove infection into our body with a needle.<BR> <BR> The World Health Organization (WHO) underscored this fact in their report titled, Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals. They wrote that, “Children under two years of age do not consistently develop immunity following vaccination.” Therefore, vaccines can fly “below the radar” of our immune system.<BR> <BR> Not only does this weaken the immune system, it renders many vaccines ineffective.<BR> <BR> And history proves this to be the case…<BR> <BR> <B>The Polio Vaccine</B><BR> <BR> Polio is the most feared childhood illness. It has caused paralysis and death for much of human history. The world experienced a dramatic increase in polio around 1910. Epidemics became regular events. They were the driving force behind a great race toward the development of a polio vaccine. The vaccine was developed in 1953 and an oral version came soon after.<BR> <BR> But the vaccines came too late. Thanks to better hygiene, sanitation and nutrition, the rates of polio infection had already plummeted as documented in my book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. And it’s a good thing, because both forms were a total failure. In fact, instead of preventing polio… they actually caused it!<BR> <BR> Medical journals around the world have exposed this outcome. The Medical Journal of Australia discovered “the relation of prophylactic inoculations [polio vaccines] to the onset of poliomyelitis [polio]” as far back as 1951.<BR> <BR> And the trend has continued…<BR> <BR> In a 2007 article, entitled “Nigeria Fights Rare Vaccine-Derived Polio Outbreak,” Reuters showed how the vaccine itself ignited outbreaks of polio in Nigeria, Chad and Angola.<BR> <BR> And according to The Indian Journal of Medical Ethics, the polio vaccine program launched by Bill Gates paralyzed 47,500 children in 2011 alone. And those injured by the vaccine died at twice the rate of those infected by “wild” polio!<BR> <BR> <B>Whooping Cough</B><BR> <BR> The same scenario was repeated in the case of the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine. Between 1900 and 1935, mortality rates due to whooping cough dropped by 79 percent in the United States. Yet, the vaccine (DTP and DTaP) wasn’t introduced until 1940.<BR> <BR> Today, those who have been “immunized” are the most susceptible to whooping cough.<BR> <BR> Researchers with the CDC publicly stated in 2002 that, “the number of infants dying from whooping cough is rising, despite record high vaccination levels.” In 2009, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recognized the trend too. In the article titled, “Whooping Cough Vaccine not as Powerful as Thought,” the publication highlighted a recent cluster of 18 whooping cough-infected students. Seventeen of those students – 95% of those infected – had been immunized with five doses of DTaP vaccine.<BR> <BR> <B>Measles, Mumps, Rubella</B><BR> <BR> The measles vaccine is no different. In 1957, the MMR shot became widely used in an effort to eradicate measles, mumps, and rubella. The The CDC insisted that it would eliminate mumps in the United States by the year 2010.<BR> <BR> But rather than preventing mumps and measles, the vaccine has actually caused widespread epidemics. Outbreaks have become the norm. And those who have suffered the most were “vaccinated.”<BR> <BR> Between 1983 and 1990, there was a 423% increase in measles cases among vaccinated individuals. Then in 2006, the largest mumps outbreak in twenty years occurred. Among those infected, 63% were “immunized,” as shown by Neil Miller in Vaccines: Are They Safe and Effective? Others found similar results.<BR> <BR> In The Journal of Infectious Diseases, scientists from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine wrote, “Vaccine failure accounted for a sustained mumps outbreak in a highly vaccinated population.”<BR> <BR> In his book, How to Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor, the late Dr. Robert Mendlesohn, MD showed that vaccinated individuals are 14 times more likely to contract mumps than unvaccinated.<BR> <BR> These stunning vaccine failures led the Iowa Department of Public Health to conclude that, “…Our most important public health tool against this disease—2 doses of MMR vaccine—is not providing the necessary levels of protection to control mumps in the U.S. population.”<BR> <BR> Even the Mayo Clinic – a bastion of mainstream medicine – states that, “vaccine failure has become increasingly apparent.”<BR> <BR> <B>Flu Vaccine Failure</B><BR> <BR> The flu vaccine has proven just as worthless…<BR> <BR> In 2007, the CDC reported that it had “no or low effectiveness” against influenza or influenza-like illnesses. The data showed that the flu vaccine protected no more than 14% of those who received it. And this wasn’t some fluke. The vaccine is rarely any more effective than that.<BR> <BR> Even The New York Times reports that, “The influenza vaccine, which has been strongly recommended for people over 65 for more than four decades, is losing its reputation as an effective way to ward off the virus.”<BR> <BR> Doctors who do their homework understand that vaccines are ineffective. Dr. Ira Goodman MD, FACS, ABHIM, a surgeon from Loyola Medical School is one of them. Through email correspondence, he told me he is against vaccines simply because “they don’t work!”<BR> <BR> The failure of vaccines has finally gone mainstream. But instead of admitting that they don’t offer protection, health officials and the pharmaceutical companies are pushing for MORE vaccines as the solution. When you consider the number of outright toxins contained in these experimental concoctions, the implications are chilling.<BR> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Reason #2 Vaccines Expose Kids to Toxins</FONT></B><BR> <BR> According to fact sheets put out by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), vaccines are brimming with toxins. These include dozens of chemicals, heavy metals and allergens. They also include numerous objectionable ingredients, such as monkey kidney cells and aborted fetal tissue.<BR> <BR> Formaldehyde is just one of many chemicals found in vaccines. And according to the FDA, “Excessive exposure to formaldehyde may cause cancer.” Another ingredient in the cocktail is a chemical known as 2-phenoxyethanol. This comes with an FDA warning which states that, “It can depress the central nervous system and may cause vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration in infants.”<BR> <BR> And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…<BR> <BR> In addition to mercury and aluminum, many vaccines are also spiked with antibiotics like neomycin, polymyxin B, streptomycin and gentamicin. These drugs aren’t even approved for uninfected children!<BR> <BR> Despite this emerging toxic threat, Parenting Magazine and Dr. Paul Offit stated that, “In theory, healthy infants could safely get up to 100,000 vaccines at once.” Are you kidding me? He won’t be testing that theory on my children. I wonder if he’s willing to stab himself that many times to prove it?<BR> <BR> I queried numerous physicians via email and phone to find out if they shared Dr. Offit’s ideas. They didn’t. Dr. Suzanne Humphries, MD was adamant that, “Vaccines put children at risk for a form of kidney disease called nephrotic syndrome. This can be caused by a common ingredient – Bovine Serum Albumin. Doctors just give children steroids to suppress the symptoms, never knowing what the cause was.”<BR> <BR> If parents need further proof of toxicity, they can read vaccine package inserts. The insert for the DPT vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur warns that, “A review by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found evidence for a causal relation between tetanus toxoid and both brachial neuritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome [pain and loss of nerve and motor function].” Makers of the Tripedia vaccine for DTaP state that certain outcomes are so frequent that they had to list them. These reactions include: <UL> <LI>Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) <LI>Anaphylactic reaction <LI>Cellulitis (a bacterial skin infection) <LI>Autism <LI>Convulsion/Seizures <LI>Brain dysfunction <LI>Low muscle tone and strength <LI>Nerve damage <LI>Hyperventilation/apnea </UL> These are some damn good reasons to use vaccine exemption forms.<BR> <BR> Vaccine supporters will insist that the benefits outweigh these toxicity risks. But that would only be true if vaccination was the only road to immunization.<BR> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Reason #3 Kids Can Build Immunity Naturally</FONT></B><BR> <BR> We are all at risk from various “biological nasties.” Invisible threats are everywhere…A single gram of feces can contain more than 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs.<BR> <BR> The goal is to minimize risk by increasing our immunity, naturally. In Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, I showed how innate and adaptive immunity act as our God-given protection from biological nasties.<BR> <BR> But, you have to support these Gatekeepers of health with proper nutrition, hygiene, sanitation and natural medicine like andrographis. Just as hand washing saved millions from infant mortality in a hospital setting, healthy habits minimize exposure and boost our natural defenses. The science supporting this won the Nobel Prize in 2011!<BR> <BR> Bruce Beutler and Jules Hoffmann discovered that we are hard-wired with special receptors that recognize foreign invaders and activate our immune response. Ralph Steinman then found that special cells of the immune system possess the unique capacity to activate the immune response, which clears biological nasties from the body. And all of this occurs without vaccination!<BR> <BR> <B>Decline in Disease Not Caused by Vaccination</B><BR> <BR> Further research has shown that the historical decline in infectious diseases – that parents are now vaccinating against – were not the result of inoculation, like doctors blindly and wrongly assert. Instead, the decline began years before the vaccines were introduced thanks to improved habits of hygiene, sanitation and nutrition that raised our natural immunity.<BR> <BR> Differences among immunity reflect the importance of healthy habits…Ever wonder why two people (even in the same household) can be exposed to the same virus while one of them is laid up in bed for a week and the other doesn’t feel the slightest effect?<BR> <BR> And why is it that while nearly 50 million people died from the Spanish flu in 1918… the case fatality rate was from two to five percent? That means that 95 to 98 percent of those who contracted the flu recovered fully. And that says nothing of the hundreds of millions of people who came into contact with the virus, but never became ill at all.<BR> <BR> The difference is our individual immune system.<BR> <BR> And the bottom line is that your habits have a great deal of control over it, as shown in Nobel winning science. Work with it to acquire protection.<BR> <BR> <B>There are no Silver Bullets Against Infection, but You Have Options</B><BR> <BR> There is no silver bullet, though.<BR> <BR> Despite our best efforts at nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, the immune system can still fail. Fortunately, in many cases, emergency medicine can help.<BR> <BR> With all this science and technology at our fingertips, I’m not willing to risk my children’s health on the antiquated vaccine theory… nor the toxic brew they contain.<BR> <BR> That doesn’t make me a religious “nut job” or conspiracy theorist. It simply means that I am an informed and caring parent with healthy kids who don’t need to rely on risky medicines or “herd immunity.” And since herd immunity is nothing more than an antiquated theory – and not something that is actually protecting kids form infections – pro-vaccine parents shouldn’t give a shit about my non-vaccinated kids or my use of vaccine exemption forms.<BR> <BR> Source: <A HREF="http://">ThePeoplesChemist.com</A> by Shane Ellison, MS<BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://">RealPharmacy.com</A><BR> <BR> Medical Disclaimer<BR> The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as, nor should it be considered a substitute for, professional medical or health care advice or treatment for any medical or health conditions.

Worse, though, is that Merck either didn’t bother to examine potential effects on ovaries or hid them—but did examine effects on testes.</I></B><BR> <BR> The BMJ has published the case report of a healthy 16-year-old Australian girl whose womanhood appears to have been stolen by Gardasil vaccinations. She has been thrust into full-fledged menopause, her ovaries irrevocably shut down, before becoming a woman. The authors, Deirdre Therese Little and Harvey Rodrick Grenville Ward1, draw direct attention to the fact that, though the girl has been thoroughly examined and tested, there is no known explanation other than the series of three Gardasil vaccinations she had.<BR> <BR> Making matters worse is that there may be many other such cases, but most are likely masked by the routine treatment of irregular or scanty menstruation with oral contraceptives. Indeed, it’s only because this girl refused them that the truth of her situation was unmasked. Just how many other girls have lost their chance at motherhood, but don’t know because their condition is masked?<BR> <BR> The authors noted that, although the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia provides data on the histology of rat testes and epididymides in the Australian Public Assessment Report for Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent Vaccine*, no information is provided for rat ovaries. They sent a Freedom of Information request for “documented rat ovarian histology post-quadrivalent* HPV vaccination that may have been performed by the sponsor and forwarded to the TGA”.<BR> <BR> [Related: <A HREF="http://www.realfarmacy.com/213-women-who-took-gardasil-suffered-permanent-disability/">213 Women Who Took Gardasil Suffered Permanent Disability</A> ]<BR> <BR> <I>*Note: There is only one “quadrivalent HPV Vaccine”. It’s Gardasil.</I><BR> <BR> <B>Here is their report of this highly significant missing data:</B><BR> <BR> It is not known whether this event of premature ovarian failure is linked to the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. More detailed information concerning rat ovarian hist-ology and ongoing fecundity post-HPV vaccination was sought from the Therapeutic Goods Administration<BR> (TGA). Although the TGA’s Australian Public Assessment Report for Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent Vaccine, February 2011, does report on the histology of vaccinated rat testes and epididymides, no histological report has been available for vaccinated rat ovaries.<BR> The TGA subsequently agreed to a freedom of information application in the public interest (FOI 001-1112) requesting documented rat ovarian histology post-quadrivalent HPV vaccination that may have been performed by the sponsor and forwarded to the TGA. However, a histological report of the ovaries of vaccinated rats remained unavailable beyond a numbering of the corpora lutea present at postweaning euthanasia following the first litter.<BR> <BR> Why did the manufacturer provide information regarding male rat testes, but not for female rat ovaries? This is more than a little shocking. It’s absolutely damning! We must question the sincerity of both the manufacturer, Merck, and the TGA—not to mention questioning other regulatory agencies, such as the US’s FDA and the UK’s MHRA.<BR> <BR> <B><FONT SIZE="4">Potential Gardasil Risk to Ovaries</FONT></B><BR> <BR> Is it conceivable that Merck didn’t consider the possibility of harm to the ovaries? In point of fact, it’s unreasonable to suggest that they were unaware of potential harm to ovaries. At least one Gardasil ingredient, polysorbate 80 (also called by brand names Tween 80, Alkest, and Canarcel), is a known cause of ovarian deformities, degenerative follicles, hormonal changes, and womb and vaginal changes in rats2,3. Worse, that ovarian damage is known to be caused byinjection of polysorbate 80—just as it’s injected with Gardasil.<BR> Another Gardasil ingredient, L-histidine, a naturally-occurring amino acid, carries signficant risks, too, in the same manner that squalene does. It’s a naturally-occurring substance in the human body, so injecting it could have the effect of causing an autoimmune response to that substance wherever it’s found in the body. There is more on this issue in Gardasil Destroys Girl’s Ovaries: It Should Have Been Predicted.<BR> <BR> A large part of one girls’ life has been destroyed, and the only plausible explanation is that the cause is the Gardasil vaccination. This vaccine is sold as a cervical cancer preventative, though it has never been shown to prevent any cancer of any kind. Cancer prevention has never been more than a presumption, based on a possible connection between human papilloma virus and cervical cancer. No cause-and-effect has ever been documented.<BR> <BR> [Related: <A HREF="http://www.realfarmacy.com/japan-withdraws-support-for-hpv-vaccines-due-to-infertility-side-effects/">Japan withdraws support for HPV vaccines due to infertility side effects</A> ]<BR> <BR> The reports of deaths and debility from Gardasil keep pouring in. As this girl’s plight demonstrates, Gardasil cannot be assumed to be safe. There is highly significant—not to mention suspicious—missing data.<BR> <BR> We don’t know, of course, whether Merck calculatedly avoided doing the studies on ovaries or is refusing to release data on such studies because of its damning nature. We do, though, know that the very fact that it’s missing—especially in light of equivalent data on the male reproductive tract being available—must be treated as suspicious.<BR> <BR> Certainly, the combination of one girl’s loss of her ovaries, the probability of there being many others, and the utterly callous disregard for its potentially devastating effects, is more than enough reason to remove Gardasil from the market. Surely, it should be removed from governmental lists of mandated vaccines.<BR> <BR> This article was published at : <A HREF="http://www.realfarmacy.com/gardasil-destroys-girls-ovaries-research-on-ovaries-never-considered/">http://www.realfarmacy.com/gardasil-destroys-girls-ovaries-research-on-ovaries-never-considered/</A><BR> <BR> Sources:<BR> <BR> <A HREF="http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2012/bcr-2012-006879.abstract">Premature ovarian failure 3 years after menarche in a 16-year-old girl following human papillomavirus vaccination</A>, BMJ Reports 2012, Deirdre Therese Little, Harvey Rodrick Grenville Ward, doi:10.1136/bcr-2012-006879<BR> <A HREF="http://www.whale.to/vaccine/polysorbate.html">Polysorbate 80 Causes Infertility, An Emulsifier That Can Damage Your Reproductive Health</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8473002">Delayed effects of neonatal exposure to Tween 80 on female reproductive organs in rats</A>.

Odds are you’ve heard something about it but weren’t sure whether the information was reliable or definitive. So, in order to help clear things up, here is a list of 25 studies showing that marijuana cures cancer, categorized by the type of cancers being cured in each study. As you sort through the articles, note that the consistent theme between them is that cannabis shrinks tumors and selectively targets cancer cells. As bills and voter initiatives to legalize medical marijuana spread from state to state, remember that we’re not just talking about mitigating the side effects of chemo (though this is another viable use), we’re talking about curing the cancer itself as well as preventing its spread. I’ve taken the liberty of only including articles from credible scientific journals, removing any biased or otherwise improperly cited studies.
