Understanding mosquitoes

In Africa, 20 per cent of the children get 80 per cent of the bites from malarial mosquitoes, and an understanding of this could be central to controlling the deadly disease.

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that describes the complex relationship between the proportion of people who are infected with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, and the rate at which people are bitten by the mosquitoes that carry it.

Nicotine can boost blood vessel growth

Nicotine may not be all bad: A study found it stimulated new blood vessel growth in mice by actively signaling their bone marrow to release vessel-forming adult stem cells.

The finding might translate to the use someday of nicotine as a means of helping wound healing and other conditions where new blood vessel growth is key, experts say. It also gives insight into unwanted vessel growth, such as that which happens during tumor formation.

The findings, based on animal and test-tube research, are reported in the Dec. 19 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Cooke's team's prior research had already demonstrated nicotine's ability to promote blood vessel growth, known as the "angiogenic effect." In this new study, they set out to uncover the mechanism driving this process.

Nicotine improves cognitive processes including learning and memory

"It is known that nicotine improves cognitive processes including learning and memory, but this is the first time that an identified nerve cell population is linked to the effects of nicotine", says Professor Klas Kullander at Uppsala University.

Humans think, learn and memorize with the help of nerve cells sending signals between each other. Some nerve cells send signals far away to other areas of the brain, while other neurons send signals within the same area. Local nerve circuits in the hippocampus process impressions and turn some of them into memories. But how does this work? And how can nicotine improve this mechanism?

The new research study literally sheds new light on this intriguing mechanism.

"We have used a new technology called optogenetics, in which light is used to stimulate selected nerve cells. We were amazed when we discovered that light activation of the gatekeeper cells alters the flow of information in the hippocampus in the same way as nicotine does", explains co-author Richardson Leão.

Daily Dried Apples Improve Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Women

Study assesses the cardiovascular impact of consuming a daily apple versus dried plums

Reference
Chai SC, Hooshmand S, Saadat RL, Payton ME, Brummel-Smith K, Arjmandi BH. Daily apple versus dried plum: impact on cardiovascular disease risk factors in postmenopausal women. J Acad Nutr Diet. 2012;112(8):1158-1168.

Design
Participants were randomly assigned to eat a portion of dried fruit each day for 12 months. Fasting blood samples were collected at baseline, and at 3, 6, and 12 months to measure various biomarkers.

Participants
One-hundred sixty postmenopausal women were recruited from 2007 through 2009. They were not receiving hormone therapy or other agents, including cholesterol-lowering drugs, for at least 3 months prior to the start of the study. They were free from bone disease, renal disease, urolithiasis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, respiratory disease, and liver disease. Heavy smokers were excluded. Approximately 82% of the participants in each group completed the study.

Ben Goldacre: What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe

When a new drug gets tested, the results of the trials should be published for the rest of the medical world -- except much of the time, negative or inconclusive findings go unreported, leaving doctors and researchers in the dark. In this impassioned talk, Ben Goldacre explains why these unreported instances of negative data are especially misleading and dangerous.

The More Mammograms You Get The More Harm It Does

Written By: Sayer Ji

Mammograms are in the news again, and it doesn't look good for those who continue to advocate using them to "detect cancer early" in asymptomatic populations. The science increasingly runs directly counter to the screening guidelines produced by both governmental and non-governmental health organizations claiming to be advocates for women's health.

Remember that only last November, the New England Journal of Medicine published a shocking analysis of the past 30 years of breast screening in the US, finding that 1.3 million women were over-diagnosed and over-treated for breast cancer – euphemisms for misdiagnosed and mistreated.

This finding, released cunningly from scientific embargo to the media on the eve of Thanksgiving, was so devastating in its implications that many either did not understand its meaning, or could not bear to accept the truth that the quarter of a century clarion call of breast cancer awareness month – get your annual mammogram or lose your life! – caused more unnecessary suffering, pain and harm to women than it is possible to calculate. The only calculable dimension of this world-historical failure is the billions of dollars that were made in the process of converting healthy, asymptomatic women into "patients", and if fortunate enough to make it through treatment, "survivors".

Now, a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, finds that those women who follow the American Cancer Society's guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer, namely, annual screening for women 40 or older, are not only receiving no additional protection against aggressive breast cancer, but are experiencing greater harm through increased rates of false positives and unnecessary biopsies.

Diet Soda May Be the More Dangerous Alcohol Mixer

By SAMIR VERMANI, M.D., ABC News Medical Unit

Cutting calories with diet soda may seem like a good idea -- as long as it's not at a bar.

A new study released in the journal Alcoholism suggests that cutting alcoholic drinks with diet soda makes them more potent than using their full-calorie counterparts. Specifically, researchers found that mixing alcohol with diet (sugar-free) soft drinks resulted in a higher breath alcohol content than mixing alcohol with a regular (sugar-sweetened) soft drink.

"The results were surprising," said Cecile A. Marczinski, assistant professor in the department of psychological science at Northern Kentucky University, and one of the lead investigators of the study.

Researchers served one of three beverages: vodka added to a diet drink, vodka added to a regular drink or a regular soft drink with a vodka scent added so that participants would believe it was an alcoholic beverage. They then sat back while the subjects enjoyed their cocktails.

Couch potatoes have lower sperm counts: study

Men who watch television for 20 hours per week have almost half the sperm count of those who watch very little television or none at all, according to a study published on Tuesday.

US researchers recruited 189 young men aged between 18 to 22, questioned them about their exercise, diet and TV habits and asked them to provide a sperm sample.

Men in the top quarter of TV-watchers, those who watched for 20 hours or more, had a 44% lower sperm count than those who watched least, meaning they said they watched "none or almost none."

Another big factor was exercise, according to the study, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Men who exercised for 15 or more hours weekly at a "moderate to vigorous" rate had a 73% higher sperm count than those who exercised less than five hours per week.

None of the sperm levels was so low that the man would have been unable to father a child.

Research shows cayenne pepper jalapenos habaneros and other chilli peppers improve heart health

Capsaicinoids found in cayenne pepper, jalapenos, habaneros and other chilli peppers already have an established treatment role in creams to address joint and arthritis pain. They also promote fat burning, increase metabolism and even kill cancer cells. Scientists have now reported the latest evidence that chili peppers are a heart-healthy food with potential to protect against the No. 1 cause of death in the developed world.

The report was part of the 243rd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), being held in San Diego the week of March 26.

Past research suggested that spicing food with chillies can lower blood pressure in people with that condition, reduce blood cholesterol and ease the tendency for dangerous blood clots to form.

Researchers in Korea recently published evidence that suggests the mechanisms behind why capsaicin may aid weight loss.

Anthropological Research Reveals Human Dietary Requirements for Optimal Health

H. Leon Abrams, Jr., MA, EDS
Associate Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, ECJC,
University System of Georgia, Swainsboro, Georgia.
Journal of Applied Nutrition, 1982, 16:1:38-45

Many claims are set forth stating what the “natural” diet of humans is or should be, but in order to ascertain what constitutes the basic dietary requirements for optimal health, the problem must be approached from an anthropological perspective which encompasses the total dietary evolution and history of mankind, a scrutinization and syntheses of human diets from the earliest times to the present, the diets of mankind’s nearest relatives, the primates, and cross-cultural dietary comparisons of primitive and modern societies.

There are one hundred and ninety-two living higher species of primates in addition to humans. (30) Until recently, it was taken for granted that all monkeys and apes were vegetarians, but ethological studies (1, 2, 12) revealed that all primates, in their natural habitat, also eat small animals. The National Zoo in Washington attempted to breed the Amazon Golden Marmoset monkey in captivity, but failed until animal protein was added to their diet. (5) It had been erroneously assumed that they were complete vegetarians, but apparently they must have some animal protein in order to be fertile. With the addition of animal protein, they reproduce rapidly in captivity. (5)

The Largest Health Hazard ever to hit the Food Industry and Taylor Swift's Dirty Little Secret

Taylor Swift just announced a sponsorship deal with the love of her live Diet Coke. Infowars.com feels that she should be made aware of the dangers of aspartame the main sweetener in diet coke which is linked to many adverse health effects. Please get this video to Taylor Swift and hopefully she can educate herself and her fans.

Death By Doctor vs. Death By Firearms

In 2010, there were 14,043 homicides in the United States. This was 15th leading cause of death according to the CDC mortality statistics and a Wall Street Journal review for causes of death. However, when one isolates the number of deaths by firearms, the number of deaths caused by guns drops to 9,601.  The total number of medically-caused deaths in the US very year is 225,000. An American has a 23 times greater chance of being killed by their doctor than by a firearm!

Perhaps we should be looking at the Bovine Growth Hormones (cancer causing) put into cattle which makes its way into the human population by way of meat consumption. We ingest these dangerous substances and literally, the entire country is on a secondary form of steroids. Maybe the country should question the wisdom of taking the flu vaccine. There is not one shred of scientific evidence which supports the use of the vaccine which would serve to justify the hundreds of thousands adverse reactions. The use of the flu vaccine defies conventional wisdom. How does one make up a vaccine a year before the “new” strain appears. Is this medicine by crystal ball? And where is the supportive data? With this kind of voodoo science, no wonder death by doctor is the third leading cause of death in the United States.

Your Food is being poisoned - The Ultimate Secret Exposed


Food - The Ultimate Secret Exposed full version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMwXlikoFrM
Alex Jones addresses one of the darkest modes of power the globalists have used to control the population-- food. The adulteration of the planet's staple crops, genetically-altered species and intentionally-altered water, food and air all amount to a Eugenics operation to weaken the masses and achieve full spectrum domination.

People the world over, but especially in the United States are under chemical attack. Deadly and dangerous toxins ranging from Aspartame to Fluoride, GMO, Mercury-tainting, pesticides, cross-species chimeras, plastic compounds in chicken, high fructose corn syrup, cloned meat, rBGH and new aggressive GM species of salmon have all entered into our diets and environments-- whether we want it or not.

Many of these substances knowingly cause or are linked with sterility, low birth weight, miscarriages, smaller or deformed offspring, as well as organ failure, cancer, brain tumors and Death itself, what you DON'T know about on your grocery shelves can hurt you. Further, Alex demonstrates that a pattern of buried studies, fraudulent statistics and a will reduce global population all point to the deliberate criminal poisoning of the food and water supply.

IMPORTANT WARNING - The Vaccine Hoax is Over - Media Pushes BRAIN Eating Vaccine

THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!

Governments and the Medical Establishment have been occupying the public's minds with tobacco regulations, scaring people with horror stories about tobacco, to steer the public away from much worse dangers, real true dangers like vaccines, poisonous, cancer-causing additives to food, water and household consumables.

Tobacco smoking is NOTHING COMPARED to what your government and the medical establishment is doing to you and your children. WAKE UP!

The establishment media and the scientific dictatorship are promoting brain-eating vaccines that virtually lobotomize people and rewire their brains into a state of subservient compliance so that their natural instinct to get angry and rebel against the tyranny being imposed upon them is neutered and sterilized.

"Academics say they are close to developing the first vaccine for stress -- a single jab that would help us relax without slowing down," reports the Daily Mail.

Do you ever stop to hear the music?


"A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.

Vaccines Did Not Save Us – 2 Centuries Of Official Statistics

This is the data the drug industry do not want you to see. Here 2 centuries of UK, USA and Australian official death statistics show conclusively and scientifically modern medicine is not responsible for and played little part in substantially improved life expectancy and survival from disease in western economies.

The main advances in combating disease over 200 years have been better food and clean drinking water.  Improved sanitation, less overcrowded and better living conditions also contribute. This is also borne out in published peer reviewed research:
In addition to the extensive static graphs below, the following superb BBC FOUR broadcast by Professor Hans Rosling shows how health improved in step with wealth over the last 200 years “200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers – in just four minutes“:

The Staggeringly Effective Weapon Against Flu and Colds is Vitamin D - The Real Flu Shot

Get Out In The Sun!

With media generated flu hysteria at an all time high and confusion about whether to risk the adverse effects of the "flu shot," it's time to reconnect with the sunlight vitamin that may be all you need to stay healthy all winter: Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin, but a "pro-hormone" that regulates tissues, inflammation, infections, bacteria, and viruses all through the body.

"All of epidemiology will be changed by this," says Dr. John Cannell, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, and one of the nation's foremost Vitamin D researchers. "If you ask anybody that takes 5,000 units of D every day, they'll tell you, they just don't get sick any more. Colds and flu just don't happen."

Our bodies make antibiotics, known as "ana-microbial peptides."  Scientists only recently discovered that Vitamin D boosts production of these peptides, giving us protection against not only colds and flu but also ailments as varied as diabetes and depression.

100 years ago, doctors acknowledged that sunlight could cure TB.

Spain Study Confirms Hemp Oil Cures Cancer without Side Effects

The International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) is putting hemp oil on its cancer protocol. It is a prioritized protocol list whose top five items are magnesium chloride, iodine, selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid and sodium bicarbonate. It makes perfect sense to drop hemp oil right into the middle of this nutritional crossfire of anti cancer medicines, which are all available without prescription.

Hemp oil has long been recognised as one of the most versatile and beneficial substances known to man. Derived from hemp seeds (a member of the achene family of fruits) it has been regarded as a superfood due to its high essential fatty acid content and the unique ratio of omega3 to omega6 and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) – 2:5:1. Hemp oil, is known to contain up to 5% of pure GLA, a much higher concentration than any other plant, even higher than spirulina. For thousands of years, the hemp plant has been used in elixirs and medicinal teas because of its healing properties and now medical science is zeroing in on the properties of its active substances.

Want to vaccinate your child? Think about this

The US government's own literature advises that there has been little or no testing in the area of vaccine safety or efficacy.  Essentially, our children are the test.  According to their literature, immunization is “the most cost effective” way to prevent disease.  Nowhere in their literature does it claim to be the safest.   We are trading our childrens’ lives to save the government money.  We are told that the benefits outweigh the risks but many of the diseases that we vaccinate for are not even life threatening;  however the vaccine itself has the potential to kill.  Vaccines kill at a much higher rate than we are led to believe.   We play vaccine roulette with our children’s lives and we never know which child will fall victim next.

Multiple vaccine doses have resulted in up to 145,000 child deaths in past 20 years

'Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business' - Part 1

Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski has cured hundreds of people of brain cancer over the past three decades from his Houston, TX clinic. The State of Texas tried and failed once and the Federal Government tried twice to convict him of any wrongdoing, with several of his grateful patients as witnesses testifying that the doctor cured them of cancers previously thought to be incurable.

Why has the government been trying to imprison a doctor who has cured hundreds of cancer patients, many of whom are still in remission 10 years after treatment?

The director of this film, Eric Merola suspects that it is because when his "Antineoplastons" therapies are approved for pubic use, it will allow a single scientist (Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski) to hold the exclusive license to manufacture and sell these medicines on the open market - before they become generic - leaving Big Pharma out of the game of profiting from the most effective, gene-targeted cancer treatment the world has ever seen.

Shortly after the release of this documentary about his work; his many triumphs both with cancer patients and with the State and Federal legal authorities - a film that is as infuriating as it is inspiring - Burzynski was once again sued by the State of Texas - but last November, the State of Texas lost again!

Look out for the soon-to-be-released Part 2 of this amazing saga. In the meantime, here is one of the most inspiring stories most of us will ever see.

SA needs 14 351 doctors, 44 780 nurses

Durban - KwaZulu-Natal is facing a chronic shortage of doctors, with 49 percent of public health jobs not filled, a survey by the SA Institute of Race Relations has revealed.

According to the survey - due to be published this week - the province also has a 26 percent vacancy rate for nurses.

Countrywide, 56 percent of doctor posts are vacant (14 351) and 46 percent (44 780) of nursing jobs unfilled.

Health experts on Monday said the figures were a concern and said more needed to be done to train people.

The figures are based on a Human Resources for Health Strategy for the Health Sector document compiled by the Health Department based on its own assessment of needs.

Nicotinamide: An Oral Antimicrobial Agent with Activity against Both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Abstract
Coinfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for one-third of all deaths due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. More than 99% of cases of HIV-M. tuberculosis coinfection occur in the developing world, where limited resources add urgency to the search for effective and affordable therapies. Although antimicrobial agents against each of these infections are available, single agents that have activity against both M. tuberculosis and HIV are uncommon. The activity of nicotinamide has been evaluated in 2 different eras: in anti-M. tuberculosis studies performed during 1945–1961 and in anti-HIV studies performed from 1991 to the present. This review brings together these 2 bodies of inquiry and raises the possibility that, with more study, this small molecule could emerge at the beginning of the 21st century either as a therapeutic agent in itself or as the lead compound for a new class of agents with activity against both M. tuberculosis and HIV.

Diet soda, aspartame shown to destroy kidney function

by Lisa Garber,

In an 11-year study by scientists at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, there was a strong positive correlation found between degeneration of kidney function and consumption of aspartame-containing diet soda.

Published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, the study followed 3,318 women for a number of years as they consumed diet soda containing artificial sweeteners like Aspartame. Scientists took into account each participant’s age, blood pressure, smoking habits (when applicable), and pre-existing conditions like heart disease or diabetes, and administered food frequency questionnaires in 1984, 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998. Two or more diet drinks daily, it was found, led to a doubled risk in fast-paced kidney decline.

A separate study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that, contrary to safety claims made by the manufacturers of aspartame, health-related concerns including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia still abound. While study authors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School admitted that there were other variables to consider, such as the sex of the consumer in that particular case, they remained troubled by the risks associated with diet soda.

Dangerous killers and most common diseases in Africa

MALARIA
The female mosquito (Anopheles Culex) infects its victims with a single-celled parasite called Plasmodium, which multiplies in red blood cells and causes malaria. When a female mosquito sucks blood from an infected person, the Malaria parasites reproduce in her body and migrate to the salivary glands. When the next person is bitten, they would be injected with the saliva carrying the parasite and would become infected. Once in the bloodstream, the parasite travels to the liver where they grow and multiply into millions of malaria germs into periods of 5 to 10 days. Once multiplied, the germs are then released into the bloodstream where they penetrate the red blood cells. Once inside these cells they grow quickly, burst the contaminated cells and attack new cells. At this stage, the patient experiences fever attacks. Initially, the patient feels cold and has bouts of shivering before experiencing headaches and rise in body temperature. Subsequently, the patient will experience excessive sweating and delirium with the time between each attack becoming less and less. The potential for being bitten by an infected female mosquito is approximately 1:100. the reasoning behind this risk factor is that the biting female would be aged between 10 and 27 days, has sucked blood from a host already infected with the Plasmodium parasite in the adult stage of his life cycle and all in the last 22 hours. The preventative measures are to remove yourself from the source of infection and protect yourself from new infections by wearing long trousers and long sleeves in the evenings. Also, rather than using chemoprophylaxis (such as Lariam, Chloroquine or Malarone), another effective prophylactic is to have mosquito coils, meat tender riser (the papain enzyme) destroys the injected foreign protein the causes the bite’s reaction or a commercially available hand moisturizer containing isopropylmalate. However, research at University of Cape Town was published in August 2012 which suggests that a drug that can cure all strains of malaria with a single oral dose has been discovered. A synthetic molecule from the aminopyridine has been shown to kill the resistant malaria parasite without any adverse side effects. Although human clinical trials have not been completed the research demonstrated that the animals were cured with no toxicity and no side effects. There is hope for the future.

Vitamin D not only prevents chronic diseases, but also extends natural lifespan

(NaturalNews) Vitamin D has been hailed for its unique ability to dramatically lower the risk of many forms of cancer, and has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and dementia. As these chronic diseases combine to be the leading causes of death for the vast majority of adults, it likely comes as no surprise that the sunshine vitamin can extend lifespan by ameliorating the detrimental effects of many common and often fatal illnesses.

Researchers from the University Medical Center in the Netherlands have published the result of their study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal detailing how suboptimal levels of vitamin D may be associated with decreased longevity, according to a study involving middle-aged children of people in their 90s. The authors noted "We found that familial longevity was associated with lower levels of vitamin D and a lower frequency of allelic variation in the CYP2R1 gene, which was associated with higher levels of vitamin D."

Vitamin D works at the genetic level to lower the incidence of mutations and improve cellular replication. To determine the association between vitamin D levels and longevity, scientists reviewed data from 380 white families with at least two siblings over the age of 90 (89 years or older for men and 91 year or older for women) in the long running Dutch Longevity Study. The study examined siblings and their offspring for a total of 1,038 offspring and 461 controls.

Four Foods That Accelerate AGING

Due to biochemical reactions in your body that occur with every type of food you eat on a daily basis, some foods age you FASTER than your real age, while other foods help to FIGHT aging.

Eat the wrong foods regularly, and you can look and feel 10 or more years OLDER than your real age (not fun!) ... but eat the right foods, and over time, you can start to look 5-10 years YOUNGER than your real age.

Three of the processes that go on inside your body that have a MAJOR impact on your rate of aging are called "glycation", "inflammation", and "oxidation". When we talk about aging, we're not just talking about wrinkles on your skin or how thick your hair is... we're also talking about factors that you can't see, such as how well your organs function, and whether your joints are degrading.

Yes, I'm sure you'll agree this is much more important than just how you look superficially (although we'll show you how to improve BOTH!)

So let's dig right in and I'll show you how your rate of aging can be directly related to the foods you might eat every day, and how to protect yourself...

South Africa hiding its collapsed health system behind ridiculous tobacco regulations

For the past number of years South Africa has been ranked as the Rape Capital of the World, and it is recognised as one of the most dangerous countries on earth with more than forty murders being committed each day, it is crime and corruption infested also being ranked the up-and-coming Drug Capital of the world. South Africa's road deaths are among the highest in the world, mostly due to alcohol abuse. Alcoholism is endemic in South Africa.

South Africa has lost the battle against TB, it is infested with HIV and we've lost that battle too.

YET, the government is keeping everyone focussed on tobacco smoking as a scape-gout for their incompetence at all other levels.


Now while I am not promoting tobacco smoking, the anti-tobacco drive in South Africa is ridiculous to put it mildly. Woman and child abuse is out of control in South Africa, caused mostly by alcohol, followed by drugs, yet the government is trying to impress everyone with their anti-tobacco nonsense.

When tobacco advertising was banned in South Africa even the public supported it, yet now that the Minister of Transport wants to ban alcohol / liquor advertising the public is opposed it it, even saying that it would not stop people from buying and drinking alcohol. The very same public who supported the banning of tobacco advertising on the delusional premise that it would stop people from smoking.

Men do not assault women and children under the "influence" of tobacco, but they certainly do so under the influence of alcohol. People do not drive recklessly and kill people in vehicle accidents under the "influence" of tobacco, but they certainly do so under the influence of alcohol, yet all the governments of the world do is to focus on tobacco as an eye-blind to keep people's attention away from much more serious and much more urgent problems.

Anti-tobacco fanatics are a pest, a disease to this world who try blaming everything on smoking in their childish naive ignorance in their effort to hide the more dangerous, more serious issues of this world.

Most politicians drink and too many of them are alcoholics and drug addicts. Even most doctors drink and we all know that medical students are among the biggest consumers of alcohol of all university groups.

We never hear anti-tobacco fanatics say ANYTHING about diesel and other MUCH MORE DANGEROUS toxins, including ALCOHOL, WHY IS THAT?

Make your own hemp oil

For those of you who have watched the documentary “Run from the Cure”, this should answer any questions about producing your own oil. I recommend that people grow their own hemp either in a small indoor grow system or outdoors. Growing it yourself will eliminate the high cost associated with buying hemp from drug dealers. The cost of hemp can vary greatly from dealer to dealer and so can the quality of the hemp. For anyone new to growing hemp a good book or video on the subject is a necessity. Just go to one of the cannabis publications on line, or buy one of these publications at a local store where you live. If you do this you should have no trouble finding a good book on the subject. My personal favorite is The Indoor Outdoor Medicinal Growers Bible by Jorge Cervantes. Also Ed Rosenthal and many others have excellent books on the subject available.

Caution: Oils that drug dealers sell can have many contaminants and often little or no THC. From my experience, most hemp oil available on the street should be avoided for medicinal use. Make your own oil or have someone you trust produce the oil to assure a very pure, high quality oil is produced.
