Newborns addicted

on drugs at birth

- a new epidemic

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) Medical authorities are witnessing the explosive growth in the number of newborns hooked on prescription painkillers – innocent victims of their mothers’ prescription drug addictions.

Fastest Growing Drug Problem in US

Last month, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi asked the state Legislature to establish a task force to compile data on drug-exposed babies and develop prevention strategies. The trend reflects an abuse of powerful narcotics, such as OxyContin and Vicodin. Prescription drug abuse is the nation’s fastest-growing drug problem, classified as an epidemic by CDC or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I’m scared to death this will become the crack-baby epidemic,” says Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Last month, she asked the state Legislature to establish a task force to compile data on drug-exposed babies and develop prevention strategies.

Statistics

National statistics on the number of babies who go through withdrawal are not available, and states with the worst problems have only begun to collect data. Scattered reports show the count of addicted newborns has doubled, tripled or more over the past decade. In Florida, the epicenter of the illicit prescription trade, the number of babies with withdrawal syndrome soared from 354 in 2006 to 1,374 in 2010, according to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. In response to the growing severity of the problem, the American Academy of Pediatricsconvened a committee this year to revise its treatment guidelines for the babies. The new guidelines are set to be published next year.

Examples:

• OREGON – Maine Medical Center in Portland treated 121 babies dependent on prescription painkillers in 2010, up from 18 in 2001
•  TENESSEE – East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville adopted a program to treat drug-exposed babies a year ago. Of the 579 babies admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit since then, 106 needed treatment for withdrawal from oxycodone and other painkillers — up from fewer than 40 in 2008. In September, painkiller-addicted babies filled nearly half the neonatal intensive care unit’s 60 beds, the highest number ever.”It has just exploded,” says John Buchheit, director of neonatology at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. “Narcotic use is just rampant in our society, and our area is particularly bad. The babies are caught in the middle.”
•  WEST COAST FLORIDA – At St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, 40 babies born in the first nine months of this year needed special care because of painkiller exposure — a 33% increase over all of 2010, says Ken Solomon, director of neonatology at three hospitals in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.

Bondi first learned of the babies’ plight on a visit to St. Joseph’s. She says seeing the infants writhe in pain as they withdrew from the drugs broke her heart. “I had no idea there was this epidemic out there,” she says.

Neonatal drug withdrawal syndrome

After exposure to months of drugs in the womb, babies experience withdrawal a few days after birth. They scream, twitch and vomit. They have trouble breathing and eating. They rub their noses with their fists so frantically that their skin bleeds. “It’s the newborn equivalent of an adult who goes off the drugs cold turkey. It’s really horrible to see these kids. They look in so much pain,” says Lewis Rubin, director of newborn services at Tampa General Hospital and chairman of neonatology at the University of South Florida.

Allopathic treatment

To ease their pain and get the babies comfortable enough so they can eat and sleep, allopathic doctors, in their ideological ignorance and denial, give these babies yet more chemical narcotics and sedatives, which can include morphine, methadone and phenobarbital. “We have to readdict them,” says Solomon, who uses intravenous morphine measured in micrograms. “Over a period of time, we withdraw the medicines. Sometimes it will take weeks.” Health professionals have dealt with addicted mothers and drug-exposed babies for decades. “I’ve been in nursing for 26 years. There’s been a problem with some drug or another for that entire time,” Tamborelli says.

Historical background of growing crisis

In the 1960s and 1970s, heroin emerged as a problem. That is when neonatologist Loretta Finnegan, who has studied substance abuse, developed a scoring system of symptoms to diagnose neonatal abstinance syndrome or drug withdrawal in the infants. By the 1980s, the problem had shifted to cocaine and crack. In the past five to 10 years, doctors say they have treated growing numbers of babies hooked on prescription opioid painkillers. While abuse of many street drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamine, is declining, painkiller abuse is growing. About 7 million people abuse prescription drugs, including painkillers, according to the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Deaths from prescription painkiller overdoses have more than tripled in the past decade, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Misperception that prescription drugs are not harmful

“The epidemic of drug-addicted newborns really follows exactly from the spread of the pill mills, the ability to buy prescription drugs like OxyContin on the street, to get them on the Internet,” Rubin says. “It’s staggering to think of the financial, emotional and social costs of this problem.” Expectant mothers hide their addictions because they fear government social workers will take the child. Also a pregnant woman can’t quit cold turkey because as she goes into withdrawal, the baby will, too says Mary Newport, medical director of neonatal intensive care at Spring Hill Regional Hospital in Spring Hill, Fla. “The baby could have seizures in the womb. They can miscarry,” she says. One in 20 babies born in the semirural community north of Tampa is addicted to painkillers, Newport says. The number of babies treated in the neonatal intensive care unit for withdrawal from prescription painkillers has more than doubled from 37 in 2008 to 88 in 2010. “There’s a misconception that because these are prescription drugs, they aren’t going to be harmful to the baby,” she says.“I didn’t go to medical school to become a pain management doctor for a newborn. It’s been thrust upon us. We feel very, very sorry for the babies, and it’s very, very difficult for us to understand why these young women think it’s OK. Most are addicted before they get pregnant.”

Wildfire drug epidemic

The number of pregnant women with addictions to narcotic painkillers has grown so rapidly that Mercy Hospital Recovery Center in Portland, Maine, developed a specialized treatment program for them, says Mark Publicker, an addiction medicine specialist at Mercy. The moms-to-be spend a month in a six-hours-a-day program before stepping down to three hours daily, Publicker says. About half the babies born don’t have any withdrawal, he says. The other half have mild withdrawal. “The experience of opiate withdrawal is the most painful and most difficult of any withdrawal syndrome,” Publicker says. “It’s hell. It’s physical, emotional and spiritual hell.” At Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, doctors screen every pregnant woman for opiate abuse. “We feel that the incidence is high enough that it’s a reasonable screening test,” says Jay Hagerty, a neonatologist at Eastern Maine Medical Center. In the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, doctors and nurses are trained to look for signs of addiction in pregnant women, such as problems controlling pain with normal doses of medicine. Much of the prognosis for babies exposed to prescription painkillers is drawn from long experience with children exposed to heroin, an opiate that has many of the same characteristics as the narcotic painkillers. Most of those children, over time, catch up to their peers, although some have developed learning difficulties and attention deficit problems, among other mental problems. Few long-term studies have followed children exposed to the prescription painkillers. “We don’t know as much as we need to know,” Solomon says. “What also confounds it is the home situation. We don’t know what happens when they leave the hospital.”

Death by medicine

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) Modern allopathic medicine is base, lock-stock-and-barrel on the mechanical vision of nature – and thus our bodies. Machines are made of separate parts, designed mathematically…because math symbols abstract universal separation. Machines model or represent the result of applying a mathematical vision to its heights. What’s wrong with machines?

Two main contentions

A) Failure of mechanical/math-based view

I contend machines do not model or represent the essence of nature. It is pretty obvious to see this since machines never, not once, occur naturally anywhere in nature, unless man-made. This implies mathematics does not represent the essence of nature left alone and not imposed upon. This implies separative consciousness (left-brain dominant consciousness which is separative) does not really fathom or penetrate into nature’s depths. Mathematics is the left-brain’s highest organizing symbolism, the the universal symbols of separation,One reason the vision fails is because one cannot connect a vision of nature consistently and rationally using abstractions of separation. Its irrational an impossible Had I been around in the 17th century, I would have totally demolish and made mince-meat of the arguments of Newton, Galileo and Descartes that so grossly mislead us into our modern eco-challenged or non-sustainable world – arguments and ideas that anchor and justify all of modern medicine’s foundation. It is a quicksand foundation.

B) Success of life/consciousness based view

Imagine that at the core of nature is what we experience inwardly as life and that at the core of life is consciousness – and as the universal relationship of connection. If this is true, and in my experience it is, then the mathematical/mechanical vision points systematically to and materializes not just machines made of separate parts, unconsicous and dead, but overall death in nature.

A system of medicine based on that vision thus offers not the keys to healing, but death by medicine. Non-emergency surgery is a perfect example. We cut the body apart like a machine, which accelerates death. When such practices make a marriage with commercial interests ($ signs being math symbols applied socially/environmentally), where consciousness is corrupted (separated apart) powerful in these dark directions.

Iatrogenic death

Iatrogenic means caused by a physician or the doings of a doctor. The statistics of death as well as life-long illnesses caused directly by the artificial interventions of modern medicine is daunting. Many of these statistics are provided in the video below.

Hospitals raking it in for unnecessary surgery for dying seniors

My own dad was subjected to two surgeries in his 90s, without even the approval of his medical surrogate (the doctors taking away that license) and he immediately died. His operations were not just unnecessary by a criminal act, as far as I was concerned. Only doctors and policemen can kill you legally and get away with it.

To make matters worse, doctors and hospitals in the US have a financial incentive to perform such surgery and on dying seniors because Medicare is guaranteed to pay for it, even though if and when most of the procedures fail to improve the patients’ lives. Again separative technologies go against the very essence of healing. The double negative of removing something toxic or ill or not the same as a positive in the direction of healing. It is a removal of symptoms.

Statistics of death by medicine

Statistics show that modern medicine is the overall leading cause of preventable death in the US. See references below for a backup on this statement. A case in point is the following. Harvard School of Public Health recently reported that 1.8 million Medicare beneficiaries age 65 or older died in 2008, and over 34% were operated on during their last year, 25% in their last month, and 10% in their last week of life. If the surgery was a causal element, then approximately 600,000 seniors (1/3rd of 1.8 million) died as a result.

As cynical as it sounds, doctors routinely perform unnecessary surgery for financial benefits. It becomes necessary to maintain their lifestyles, their mercedes and the like. There is a conflict of interest in caring about the lives of seniors, past the deceptive white coat purity appearance,  when guaranteed financial rewards follow assembly-line unnecessary surgeries.

Supposedly there is no other way – what bunk

The Medicare website for reporting unnecessary and inappropriate surgery describes it as being an operation for a condition that could effectively be treated with medication or physical therapy.  Typically, there is nothing listed about nutrition or natural healing. Mentioning natural remedies can endanger a doctors license to practice medicine. The FDA outlaws any natural remedy from claiming it can cure a disease, so the general public still believes surgery and chemotherapy are the only true options.

Arguments against “death by medicine

The argument against our thesis that modern medicine is the leading cause of death in the US is presented in a blog post by Steve Novella, MD on his site Science Based Medicine (hiding behind the cloak of “superior science,” as the 17th century mechanical/death-centered view claimed their view was superior, and providing a deeply false justification). He substitutes the word food for medicine as being the leading cause of deaths in the US. This is a common distortion, that was is natural and truly healing is what is to be feared. I have offered some of the arguments opposing that view in many blog posts, including 27 years, zero deaths from vitamins, 3 million from prescription drugs.

$-driven, illusionary worldview-driven, three-prong and deadly short-sightedness

Doctors in the United States are trained to do mainly three general procedures for the sick and dying which also connect with making money. They operate, administer chemotherapy/radiation or prescribe pharmaceuticals to mask and seemingly relieve symptoms or pain. The effort to remove cancer that surrounds or invades organs is a most surgical procedure. Unfortunately, clipping off the “tops of weeds” doesn’t get at the taproot and since the chemicals in food and overall bad nutrition fuel ill health and disease – this is the best of all worlds financially for the “disease-care industry.”

Surgery works against the connective essence of life and supports the mechanical view, the death centered. Thus not surprisingly surgery can be painful, debilitating, and life-time weakening – accelerating death.  The most popular chemotherapy drug is Gemcitabine, which claims to only help about 25% of patients. So the rest either undergo useless surgery or are sent home to die with no nutritional advice. Cancer is a chemically driven disease, and chemotherapy is toxic, deprives all cells of oxygen. Often surgery also causes internal bleeding which spreads the cancer. I can’t count how many I have lost to the ravages and insanities of allopathic medicine – to death by medicine.

Health Care vs Sick Care

Real health care means:

Nathan Batalion Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

This is a fun and super funny video produced by Mercola.com. It’s a cartoon video parody on the approaches of allopathic medicine (“managed $$ disease-care”) rather than true healthcare and healing approaches) to attend to our most serious chronic ills.

Over the past few decades this has left us in the very brutal throws of ever growing chronic illness epidemics – such diabetes, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and so on – and that are treated very profitably but not reversed to undo threaten those profits. For example, most cases of diabetes can be reversed through diet and in as little as 30 days. Instead my own dad was treated for 50 years with insulin, supposedly “controlling or managing incurable diabetes” – or so he was told – until he eventually died with the ailment and went legally blind. The blindness was a “side-effect” of the treatment.

There are far better ways. This funny video touches thus on serious topics.

Don’t Join Our

Zombie Nation

Avoid being among 11 percent of Americans who take antidepressant drugs daily

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) The admitted goal of the pharmaceutical industry is to have every man, woman and child in America taking at least two prescription drugs daily for the rest of their lives (whether sick or not)!

Through Big Pharma’s corruption of the establishment – including the FDA, medical journals, med schools and the mainstream media, it creeps closer to accomplishing this diabolical goal. Already one in ten Americans are now on SSRI antidepressant drugs.  The initials stand for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. Kids are included in these horrid statistics. Roughly 25% of Americans are said to suffer from some “inner,” mental or spiritual illness. More than half have chronic physical ills that are also being treated by drugs that mostly suppress the consciousness of symptoms and don’t address causes. There is another and more sane way to go for the method of treating ills via drugs, whose sales are driven by the lust for profit, is itself socially ill – as a symptom of our “zombie nation.” Go visit any nursing home that has individuals treated with multiple drugs. You will see they walk the halls like zombies.

Do you want to join them for a Halloween party or do something better with your life?

By the way, the one out of ten figure for SSRI drugs  is according to a survey conducted by the CDC. It was further revealed that use of antidepressants jumped 400% from 2005 – 2008, while women are 2.5 times more likely to use antidepressants than men. (And whites are far more likely to use them than blacks.) (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011…)

The dangerous “side effects” (which are really main drug effects ) are legion. It is vital thus to get off these medications.

How to get off SSRI meds

First, realize that depression is not caused by a “chemical imbalance in the brain” that can be resolved by paying monopoly prices for a patented chemicals sold by a pharmacy.  ”Depression” is a warning sign that multiple areas of one’s life are out of balance and need to be brought back. Here are seven strategies for reversing depression:

Connect with nature

• Sunlight exposure beats back depression at the hormonal level.
• Breathing fresh air that’s filled with negative ions from trees and plants prevents depression at a bioelectric level.
• Touching the earth with your bare hands, hearing the sounds of nature, feeling the bark of a tree or even just seeing lush green foliage is all vibrational, sensory medicine.If you look at most people who are depressed, they often live inside amid sterile surroundings. They never run barefoot. They are depressed being disconnected from the natural, living surroundings.

Get exercise

This allows your brain to manufacture its own antidepressant drugs for free without a prescription. A treadmill run might save you $20 worth of drugs! And your body’s own brain drugs are better. Their biochemistry has no side effects. You simply feel good.

Improve nutrition

Most depressed people are eating mucho refined sugar, flour, pasteurized dairy and other life-depressing, devitalizing or junk foods. No wonder they feel as blue as blue cheese! Thus eat the highest quality foods instead.

• Eat more omega-3 oils from dietary supplements, wild-caught salmon, flax seeds, chia seeds and other such sources.
• Juice and consume lots of fresh, whole, and organic produce. They contain trace minerals that drastically improve cognitive function and moods.
• Eat more living foods. They make you feel great and alive because they are alive and build living cells! Primarily dead foods build dead, and depressed cells that then make you feel awful. So get yourself a juicer to extract the concentrated life force of your fruits and veggies. Go to it.

Find meaning in life

Many individuals are depressed due to a thankless job or occupation, Having a purpose in life is enlivening. Pursuing it with daily passion can reverse depression and help turn despair into joy.
Start searching for your real purpose in life!

Improve your personal relationships

Some individuals are in abusive and unfulfilling personal relationship. Reconsider how and who you intimately relate to in the world, and whether it is time for a change that will allow you to reach and support your potentials in life.

Find ways of being of service

Can you teach or lead by example or inspire others to improve their lives? Can you help someone in need? As you help others, you help yourself as well because we are all connected as One.

Meditate and soul-search

Have a quiet time in your life for inspiration, reflection, and being at one within. From that space of oneness, you can then tackle the challenges of your life and become more creative. You find and tap into the driving purpose of your life. You’ll be so busy pursuing your life’s mission and purpose you won’t have the time or space for any depression.

Making the transition

If you hate nature, love pastries and junk food, and prefer no purpose in your life but to vegetate, go for it. Then SSRI drugs are for you. They will help you fake happiness and suppress symptoms. With one pill, you can add illusion to insult, yo making you “feel” okay while your life inside dies. Getting off SSRI drugs requires courage, not passivity.

It may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done, but it will be rewarding Subsisting on mind-altering drugs is no life at all. And the longer you take drugs, legal or illegal, the more detached you will feel, making you even more isolated and depressed. That’s why you need to get off your drugs and meds NOW! Turn off the TV and take your life back! Get off the couch, out of the pharmacy and away from your toxic potions’ prescribing doctor. Get in touch with nature, real foods, and the real you inside of yourself. This will get you back on track for spiritual fulfillment, having meaning in life, for being joyously at One.

Who’s got time to be depressed when you are fulfilling your highest snf best purpose in life?

Shock vaccine study: 

influenza vaccines prevent flu in only 1.5% of adults

(not 60% as told)

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) This article is about something quite scary to mention, unless everyone was aware of the vast corruption of consciousness in modern mega-$-generating medicine – what is so systemic.

A recent study published in Lancet shows that their very best and contrived, manipulated, industry-supporting study only could show that influenza vaccines helped just 1.5% of adults – maybe- and via something almost statistically insignificant. Nevertheless, the  very same study is being broadcast throughout mainstream media  as proof that “flu vaccines are 60% effective!”  Supposedly this was a disappointment because the previous claims were for 70-90% effectiveness. See references for such false and widespread industry reporting at the end of this article. So what else is new. The unbridled manipulation of truth is commonplace but remains VERY VERY SCARY indeed.

Flu vaccine stops influenza for just and only 1.5%…..maybe!

In this study the control group of adults consisted of about 13,000 non-vaccinated adults.

Only 2.7% of these caught the flu.

The treatment group were vaccinated with  trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine.

1.2% of them did not catch the flu.

The difference is, using simple math, just 1.5%

Statistical Games

But if you take the 2.7% in the control group and you divide that into the 1.2% in the treatment group, this gives you 0.43 and implies a “57% decrease” in influenza infections. The overall “60% effectiveness” being claimed for this study is thus a statistical hoax and sham. Actually 1.5% of the patients had any incrementally positive response, and even that is disputable.  So when the media (or your doctor) says these vaccines are “60% effective,” what they don’t tell you  is that when you inject 100 adults the result is that only  1.5 of them somehow avoid the flu and it has no positive impact on the rest, or 98.5% of the time and for the general population.

Any harmed by influenza shots, mammograms and chemotherapy? A similar story of a devilish manipulation of truth

Harmful effects are also not the focus, almost never, of such product-marketing, pro-industry studies, funded by Big-Pharma supporting groups to make their bankrupt case.So if we guess, for example, that 7.5% show long-term neurological side effects – a quite reasonable guess given the vast data we have about such harmful impacts – or 5 times as many hurt as helped – then this would mean we all are 500% more likely to be harmed than healed by submitting to the shot!

The same is true with mammograms that harm approximately 10 women for every 1 they may help (http://www.naturalnews.com/020829.html).

It is the same with chemotherapy with a best, and disputable, track record of helping 3% of those treated and failing with the other 97%. And again the successful cases are disputable. Just because a tumor shrinks doesn’t mean someone is truly healed. Chemotherapy may shrink tumors, receiving ovations, while eventually the patient dies because same toxic and lethal chemo tends to kill most who receive it.

“Cancer survivors” after chemotherapy might better be described as “chemo survivors.”

The rest we may bless with R.I.P.s, may they “rest in peace” having been subjected to the cancer industry’s RIP offs.

Quoth the Raven Never More

According to the same study, 12 out of 100 children were helped. But this data is almost certainly largely falsified in favor of the vaccine industry, as explained below. It ignores frightening harms, including a MAJOR vaccine/autism link.

So if you are thinking of giving your child a flu shot, remember Edgar Allen Poe’s admonition – “Quoth the Raven Never More!

Funding

The funding for this abysmal study came from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation whose Vice President for Human Resources and Program Management is Gail Pesyna, a former DuPont executive (working for the second largest GMO firm) and with special expertise in pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics. (http://www.sloan.org/bio/item/10)

Alred P. Sloan Foundation alsgave a $650,000 grant to fund the creation of a film called “Shots in the Dark: The Wayward Search for an AIDS Vaccine,” (http://www.sloan.org/assets/files/a…) which features a highly pro-vaccine slant.

Credibility

Control group was often given a vaccine, too

In many of the studies used in this meta analysis, the “control” groups were given so-called “insert” vaccines which may have contained chemical adjuvants and other additives but not attenuated viruses. Why does this matter? Because the adjuvants can cause immune system disorders that make the control group more susceptible to influenza.

Flu vaccines not tested against never-vaccinated healthy children

Testing healthy, non-vaccinated children against vaccinated children is something that is never done. It’s no surprise, therefore, that flu shots were simply not tested against “never vaccinated” children who have avoided flu shots for their entire lives. That would be a real test, huh? But of course you will never see that test conducted because it would make flu shots look laughably useless by comparison.

Influenza vaccines not tested against vitamin D user

Vitamin D prevents influenza at a rate that is 8 times more effective than flu shots (http://www.naturalnews.com/029760_v…).

No long-term studies

Vaccines are considered “effective” if they merely prevent the flu. But what if they also cause a 50% increase in Alzheimer’s two decades later?  There is no desire in the industry to observe and record the actual long-term results of vaccines because the negative results would defeat their marketing purposes.

Lancet is a pro-vaccine mouthpiece funded by the vaccine industry!

Trusting The Lancet to report on the effectiveness of vaccines is foolish. Does anyone really think we’re going to get a truthful report from a medical journal that depends on vaccine company revenues?

Even when pro-vaccine medical journals publish pro-vaccine studies, their best data shows flu vaccines prevent influenza in only 1.5 out of 100 adults!

If these studies were done with no $$ ties to Big Pharma, might they have been worse? You betcha. They would probably show a stark negative efficacy rate, meaning that flu shots cause more influenza cases than they prevent. That’s the more likely reality.

Flu shots do cause incidences. That’s why the people who get sick every winter with the flu are often the very same people who got flu shots to prevent the same! Do your own survey and just ask ‘em yourself this coming winter.

Diabolical Beliefs

Thanks to the vast lies of the industry, most people believe flu shots help them, which can alone account for 1.5% less incidences, the power of the mind – again being statistically insignificant.

So next time you see adults lined up at a pharmacy for their flu shots, know that nearly 99 out of those 100 are wasting their time and money and may be subjecting themselves to considerable long-term neurological damage.

Someday may take on the persona of Frankenstein.

Fraudulent marketing

Given this 1.5% effectiveness, the marketing of flu shots is, according to Mike Adams, one of the most outrageous examples of fraudulent marketing ever witnessed in modern or any society.

Can you imagine a car company selling a car that only worked 1.5% of the time? Or a computer company selling a computer that only worked 1.5% of the time? They would be indicted for fraud!

So why does the vaccine industry get away with this?

This puts flu shots in roughly the same efficacy category as rubbing a rabbit’s foot or wishing really hard. But this is commonly what passes for “science” in a greed hungry industry that most maintain billions of dollars in sales to satisfy stockholders.

Trick or Treat

Getting others to buy something useless and that might  harm is quite a trick, not a treat.

How to pull this off? Just shroud the process under  some “science” jargon and offer prizes to the pharmacy workers who cajole customers to get injected. That’s how its done!

Don’t want to know?

What are flu shots really for? Vaccines are population control technologies, as openly admitted by Bill Gates (http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_v…). They are so cleverly packaged under the fabricated “public health” message that even those who administer vaccines have no idea they are actually engaged in the reduction of human population through vaccine-induced infertility and genetic mutations. Vaccines ultimately have but one purpose: to “weed out” those humans who are stupid enough to fall for vaccine propaganda. For that purpose, they probably are 60% effective after all.

27 Years:

Zero Deaths

from Vitamins,

3 Million

from Prescription Drugs

By Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks editor

(Healingtalks) Over the past 27 years a recent data compilation shows no…that is zero or nada deaths from vitamins and over 3 million deaths related to prescription drugs! The latter is almost 100,000 deaths per year or 274 per day.  That is the equivalent of a jet crashing accidentally every single day for the past 27 years. If that were to happen, would you continue to fly on jets without fear or concern? How would you feel, on top of that, if there was a news blackout of the jets crashing everyday and in all the major, corporate-owned media because airline companies are significant advertisers in those media!

Now just substitute pharmaceutical companies for airline companies and you get the picture, or sense of what is really happening with the false promises of “better living through chemistry.”

Shocking News: Drug Deaths Also Outnumber Deaths from Car Accidents

In fact, going back 54 years there have only been 11 claims of vitamin-related death, all with little or no substantial evidence to link vitamins to the cause of death. The news comes after a recent statistically analysis that pharmaceutical drug deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities in the US.

In 2009, prescription drug deaths exceeded traffic-related deaths, killing at least 37,485 people nationwide.

The findings go against the claims of mainstream medical ‘experts’ and mainstream media outlets who often push the idea that multivitamins are detrimental to your health, and that prescription drugs are the only science-backed option to improving your health. While essential nutrients like vitamin D are continually being shown to slash your risk of disease such as diabetes and cancer, prescription pharmaceuticals are continually being linked to such conditions. In fact, the top-selling therapeutic class pharmaceutical drug has been tied to the development of diabetes and even suicide, and whistleblowers are just now starting to speak out despite studies as far back as the 80s highlighting the risks.

Mainstream medical health officials were recently forced to speak out over the danger of antipsychotic drugs, which millions of children have been prescribed since 2009. U.S. pediatric health advisers blew the whistle over the fact that these pharmaceuticals can lead to diabetes and even suicide, the very thing they aim to prevent. What is even more troubling is that half of all Americans will be diagnosed with a mental condition during their lifetime thanks to lack of diagnosis guidelines currently set by the medical establishment, of which many cases will lead to the prescription of antipsychotics and other similar medications.

Covering up prescription drug side effects

In order to protect sales, the link between suicide and antipsychotic drugs was completely covered up by Eli Lilly & Co, the makers of Prozac. Despite research stretching as far back as the 1980s finding that Prozac actually leads to suicide, the company managed to hide the evidence until a Harvard psychiatrist leaked the information into the press. The psychiatrist, Martin Teicher, stated that the American people were being treated like guinea pigs in a massive pharmaceutical experiment.

Greedy and oftentimes prescription-happy doctors are handing out antipsychotic medication like candy to adults and young children alike. In 2008, antipsychotics became the top-selling therapeutic class prescription drug in the United States and grossing over $14 billion in sales.

Antipsychotic drugs are not the only dangerous pharmaceuticals. The average drug label contains 70 side effects, though many popular pharmaceuticals have been found to contain 100 to 125. Some drugs, prescribed by doctors to supposedly improve your health, come with over 525 negative reactions.

Ritalin Side-Effects

Ritalin, for example, has been linked to conditions including:

* Increased blood pressure
* Increased heart rate
* Increased body temperature
* Increased alertness
* Suppressed appetite

Cold and Allergy Medication Side Effects

Perhaps the hundreds of negative side effects is part of the reason why the FDA announced last year that it is pulling more than 500 cold and allergy off the market due to health concerns. Prescription drugs kill more people than traffic accidents, and come with up to 525 negative side effects. Avoiding these drugs and utilizing high quality organic alternatives like whole food-based multivitamins and green superfoods will lead to a total health transformation without harsh side effects and an exponentially increased death risk.

Harmful Side Effects Are Really Main and Essential Effects of Pharmceuticals

It is part of corporate brainwashing and psychological manipulation to call the almost universal presence of many harmful effects from taking almost any drugs as being a so-called side-effects  – as something negligible and not really important to consider. What an ultimate corporate deception.

Think again as this contrived illusion and propaganda of modern medicine often kills.

Chemotherapy – Not the Answer to Cancer

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) Chemotherapy will never cure of the epidemic of cancer. The use of chemotherapy is actually a diabolical or should we say intellectually evil way for the medical establishment to try deny what is undeniable – that chemicals, the basis for pharmaceuticals, are a most fundamental and root cause for cancer.

THE GRAND CANCER TREATMENT DECEPTION

All chemicals so function as a double negative (a superficial positive). Chemicals can suppress symptoms because they connect with unconsciousness, as explained below. They can be used to effectively kill life and can thus also kill cancer cells. But they cannot heal us. Killing and healing are opposites. Again see our many blog posts on how via mathematical designs chemicals are formed and where math symbols really represent the separations of all elements of consciousness, consciousness being at the core of life. Thus what designs machines made of separate parts connects unfortunately also with disintegration of organic life into parts, thus disease states and ultimately death in nature. The 17th century vision of math-organized nature, when driven too deeply, materializes death.

HOW CANCER CAN BE HEALED

More in truth, cancer will only heal when the toxic load is decreased and not increased. When you get the chemicals and toxins out of the body and the proper nutrients in, and help the circulation of both with excercise and do mind/body therapies to stay on course, that is when you heal.

A STUDY TELLS THE STORY

In an Australian study, researchers stated: “in lung cancer, the median survival has increased by only 2 months during the past 20 years and an overall survival benefit of less than 5 percent has been achieved in the treatment of breast, colon and head and neck cancers.” This study showed that chemotherapy’s 5-year survival in adults was 2.1 percent in the USA.

HOW TO HEAL CANCER

To heal cancer you must treat the cause and not the effect. You must bring the life forces back into the body, not the death-delivering forces which is what chemicals exactly are. You must not be deceived and fooled by the allopathic $medical$ profession – who represent about 20% of all TV advertising in selling pharmaceutical chemicals.

CAUSE OF CANCER

Cancer is the result of toxic buildup in the cells which causes them to transform in a way that they survive a toxic, life-disintegrating environment. When toxins enter into the core of cells, they also change in ways that make them grow wildly out of control.

WHAT CHEMOTHERAPY DOES

Thus toxic chemotherapy will never heal cancer. It will just kill or destroy the aftereffects of having cancer. It will not decrease but increase the toxic load. It often will be the root cause of more aggressive cancer because new stem cells begin to grow that are resistant to the aggressive toxic therapy. The whole process is bankrupt and harmful.

Thus often patients see see tumor shrinkage, but then the tumors grows back even more fiercely. Chemotherapy does not usually kill cancer stem cells but rather the outer core of the tumor, which is made of non-stem cell cancer cells. When cancer stem cells are exposed to these toxic chemicals, it simply makes them more violent, more prone to spread. This is why the chemo tends to fail 95% of the time.

THE ANSWER TO CANCER

The answer to cancer is a true practice of the four pillars of naturopathy – get the best living, organic, whole food nutrition into your body, practice intensive detoxification to get the worst death-bearing, toxic elements out. Then help circulate and accelerate both processes with excercise and modulate your state of mind to stay on course.

Alternative cancer treatment changes your whole inner being and way of living with integrity, rather than just kill the effects of wrongful living.

Vaccines Cause Autism -

A Proven and

Hushed-Up Fact

Based on an article by by PF Louis, published in Natural News

(Healingtalks) The USA National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a crafty and sly federal program to relieve the vaccine industry from financial liability for extreme vaccine injuries. Enough claims have been awarded to indicate our government’s secret awareness of the link between a vaccine and autism while publicly hushing up the fact and denying it.

VICP Background

VICP was created in 1988 to  supposedly “maintain a stable supply of vaccines.” What VICP actuallydoes is help vaccine manufacturers produce vaccines with “stable profits” – not worrying about the very deadly consequences and the huge financial liability that entails Apparently, there was a core dynamic within the federal VICP defending any and all  FDA approvals of vaccines – which generally had little or nothing to do with science but were politically pressured. Then a bomb shell fell on this game when in 2008, the Georgia State Supreme Court issued the following statement:  “There is no evidence that “FDA approval alone renders a vaccine unavoidably safe.”

VICP Develops a Diabolical “Don’t Tell” Policy

So while the federal agencies, industry leaders, and pediatricians (all financially linked together, another truth-telling, eye-opening story) are publicly telling us there is  absolutely and positively “no link of vaccines to autism” (a death knoll for vaccine sales if the public finds out)  a recent study of 83 families with autistic children all  “quietly” awarded  vaccine damages and hush up money by VICP tells a very, very different story. Such awards, and now for over two decades, have included annual annuities to supposedly cover the child’s health expenses over time. But diabolical truth is that this is precisely what keeps the parents from speaking to the media and warning others Again NVIC awards are effectively hush money.According to one parent, Sarah Bridges, PhD, not telling the truth and using “proper semantics” is what helped her win her case. She didn’t use the word autism, though autism destroyed her child.

Autism Award Study

An independent study of NVIC awards was recently published study by Pace Environmental Law Review and it reported that most of the 83 cases awarded did mention autistic behavior and even autism. One such case was awarded after the an intelligent and healthy girl went totally autistic after receiving nine vaccinations in one day! The Pace study, which was not covered by any noteworthy media outlets, had looked into over 1300 cases of brain damage claims from vaccines. So what Sarah Bridges may have implied is that parents have a better chance if they talk seizures, permanent brain damage, etc, while not mentioning autism. Nevertheless, the toothpaste is out of the tube, according to “SafeMinds” Executive Director Lyn Redwood, RN: “This (Pace) study dramatically shifts the debate on autism and vaccines. The question is no longer, can vaccines cause autism? The answer is clear. Now, we have to ask, How many cases of autism have vaccines caused and how do we prevent new injuries from occurring?”

Truth Eventually Leaks Out – Vaccines Definitively Cause Autism

The Safe Minds website has MSM video clips of former heads of major government health agencies who cautiously concede autistic reactions to vaccinations. Apparently it is easier to be truthful after retirement! Robert Kennedy, Jr., a high profile crusader for vaccine safety, has sat in on some vaccine industry board meetings. He angrily asserted that vaccine industry executives are aware of the vaccine toxicity dangers while publicly denying causal connections to autism.

Root Spiritual Problem of Our Times

Time and again, the lure to make money shows up as a most powerfully corrupting force in our culture. Underneath that terrible phenomenon is the deeper drumbeat of our culture, namely  that to gain the very highest and purest knowledge of nature – to raise our consciousness to an objective level and to advance modern civ – we must dominantly mathematize everything around us. This has been the ideology over the past 400 years that is taking us to the brink. This is why physics and chemistry create such a tightest-of-tight marriage with commerce. But the wonderful mathematics we learn from grade school on is very simply  “the set of abstractions for how to separate all elements of consciousness.”  Consciousness is what connects us to the world around us and within. Thus nothing corrupts or undermines that consciousness more than being focused on separation – something we are almost never taught or forewarned about. It counters the philosophy at the root of the Industrial Revolution and the whole transition in the 17th century from the medieval to the modern world.

To be too focused on making money amounts to the same spiritual leadership or lack thereof. It causes such unbelievable extremes of “narrow or separtive conscious focusing” -  wanting to ever not see, not know, not admit the whole truth about matters that otherwise are obvious when the financial bias is removed. Such truth-telling is is not written in this blog to promote an anti-mathematical or anti-commercial philosophy. It is more an issue of what dominates us – what is master and what is servant in our lives. In other words, we can pursue the making of money and the use of certain sciences in a subservient and positive way – keeping the integrity of our consciousness in tact. We just do not try to make money, the $ sign our mountain peak God. If we do, it will time and again corrupt us. No fooling.

Spiritual and Physical Health of Children

We need to all thus be forewarned. Every student on the planet must be taught this and deeply… before being drawn into various financially profitable careers, or of before blindly falling prey to a thousand and one  deceptive traps of our culture. In  our many blog posts, we expose what our culture does not want to expose. These forces are sometimes so extremely diabolical, especially in the “healing arts,” that they terribly harm our most precious children and youngsters. They harm our loved ones. In fact, under the leadership of Big Pharma, chronic ills among children have skyrocketed. Chronic disabilities among children have risen from 1.8% to 6.5%  or more than tripled! And this is the tip of the iceberg.

So Young and So Many Pills

More than 25% of Kids and Teens in the U.S. Take Prescriptions on a Regular Basis

Based on an article by ANNA WILDE MATHEWS

Comment: What drug companies won’t tell you is that “side-effects,”  being common, are really main effects of drugs, that routinely harm adults and children

(Healingtalks) Gage Martindale, who is 8 years old, has been taking a blood-pressure drug since he was a toddler. “I want to be healthy, and I don’t want things in my heart to go wrong,” he says.

And, of course, his mom is always there to check Gage’s blood pressure regularly with a home monitor, and to make sure the second-grader doesn’t skip a dose of his once-a-day enalapril.

These days, the medicine cabinet is truly a family affair. More than a quarter of U.S. kids and teens are taking a medication on a chronic basis, according to Medco Health Solutions Inc., the biggest U.S. pharmacy-benefit manager with around 65 million members. Nearly 7% are on two or more such drugs, based on the company’s database figures for 2009.

Doctors and parents warn that prescribing medications to children can be problematic. There is limited research available about many drugs’ effects in kids. And health-care providers and families need to be vigilant to assess the medicines’ impact, both intended and not. Although the effects of some medications, like cholesterol-lowering statins, have been extensively researched in adults, the consequences of using such drugs for the bulk of a patient’s lifespan are little understood.

Many medications kids take on a regular basis are well known, including treatments for asthma and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Kids are taking more drugs that are associated with adults

But children and teens are also taking a wide variety of other medications once considered only to be for adults, from statins to diabetes pills and sleep drugs, according to figures provided to The Wall Street Journal by IMS Health, a research firm. Prescriptions for antihypertensives in people age 19 and younger could hit 5.5 million this year if the trend though September continues, according to IMS. That would be up 17% from 2007, the earliest year available.

Researchers attribute the wide usage in part to doctors and parents becoming more aware of drugs as an option for kids. Unhealthy diets and lack of exercise among children, which lead to too much weight gain and obesity, also fuel the use of some treatments, such as those for hypertension. And some conditions are likely caught and treated earlier as screening and diagnosis efforts improve.

Gage, who isn’t overweight, has been on hypertension drugs since he had surgery to fix a heart defect as a toddler, says his mother, Stefanie Martindale, a Conway, Ark., marketing-company manager.

Chronic use of  prescriptions by kids untested

Most medications that could be prescribed to children on a chronic basis haven’t been tested specifically in kids, says Danny Benjamin, a Duke University pediatrics professor. And older drugs rarely get examined, since pharmaceutical firms have little incentive to test medicines once they are no longer under patent protection.

Still, a growing number of studies have been done under a Food and Drug Administration program that rewards drug companies for testing medications in children. In more than a third of these studies, there have been surprising side effects, or results that suggested a smaller or larger dose was needed than had been expected, Dr. Benjamin says. Those findings underscore that children’s reactions to medicines can be very different than those of adults. Long-term effects of drugs in kids are almost never known, since pediatric studies, like those in adults, tend to be relatively short.

“We know we’re making errors in dosing and safety,” says Dr. Benjamin, who is leading a new National Institutes of Health initiative to study drugs in children. He suggests that parents should do as much research as they can to understand the evidence for the medicine, confirm the diagnosis, and identify side effects. Among the places to check: drug labels and other resources on the FDA’s website, published research at www.pubmed.gov, and clinical guidelines from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics.

When a child psychiatrist diagnosed their then 8-year-old daughter with bipolar disorder four years ago, Ken and Joy Lewis, of Chapel Hill, N.C., sought a second opinion from another child psychiatrist.

They also worked with a psychologist. Dr. Lewis, who leads a company that does early-stage drug studies, reads all the available research on each medication suggested for the girl, now 12, who has taken antipsychotics and other psychiatric medications including Risperdal and Haldol.

“If your child has a chronic problem, then you have to invest the time as a parent,” he says.

Exploring Non-Drug Alternatives

Parents and doctors also say nondrug alternatives should be explored where possible. Tom Wells, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences who sees patients at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock, frequently pushes diet and exercise changes before drugs for hypertensive kids. “Obesity is really the biggest cause I see for high blood pressure in adolescents,” he says. But only about 10% of families adhere to his diet and exercise recommendations, he says.

Beverly Pizzano, a psychologist who lives in Palm Harbor, Fla., spent years struggling with behavioral therapies for her son Steven, 10, who showed symptoms of ADHD at a young age. She worked with a counselor on a system of rewards for good behavior, and even had a research team watch him and suggest interventions. But she turned to medications after he struggled in kindergarten. “We tried everything before I would get to that,” she says.

Monitoring Side Effects

After a drug is prescribed, children must be closely monitored, doctors say. They may not recognize or communicate a possible side effect, or whether their symptoms are improving. They also don’t always follow prescription instructions.

Robert Lemanske, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, says patients at his pediatric asthma clinic are checked regularly for side effects such as slowed rates of growth. He quizzes parents and young patients on details like where they keep their inhalers to make sure they’re taking their prescribed medicine.

Nichole Ramsey, a preschool teacher whose 9-year-old son Antwone is a patient at the clinic, watches her son’s basketball practices so she can head off any wheezing or other symptoms. She also makes sure she’s around when he gets his regular Advair dose. If Antwone stays at a friend’s house overnight, she asks the parents to watch that he takes steps like rinsing out his mouth to avoid a fungal infection that can be a side effect of the inhaled drug.

“You’re still the best monitor of what’s going on with them,” she says of a parent’s role.

Ms. Ramsey is particularly concerned about Advair, which has been tied to rare instances of asthma-related death, but says it works better than a previous drug he was using. Before he started the medications, Antwone was hospitalized several times for asthma attacks.

As children’s bodies change and grow, they often need different drugs or doses, says Greg Kearns, chairman of medical research at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.

Jennifer Flory, a homemaker in Baldwin City, Kan., says that after her daughter Cassandra, now 16, started taking a higher dose of the asthma drug Singulair a few years ago, she became more moody and sad. Ms. Flory didn’t connect the change to the drug, but when she eventually mentioned it to a nurse practitioner at the girl’s asthma clinic, the nurse suggested stopping Singulair, which currently has a precaution in its label about possible psychiatric side effects. Cassandra, who continued taking Advair, became far more cheerful and didn’t have any increase in asthma symptoms, Ms. Flory says.

A spokesman for Merck & Co., which makes Singulair, said in a statement that the company is “confident in the efficacy and safety of Singulair,” which is “an important treatment option for appropriate patients.”

MEDICAL JOURNAL FRAUD

On No Man’s Word

(Healingtalks) Modern scientific “objectivity” is based on the motto of the Royal Society of England, one of the very first scientific societies. The motto, nullius in verba means “on no man’s word.”

Thus we must not just trust a Pope, Monarch, Prophet, Soothsayer, etc.  but rather  a collective group of scientists who practice peer review, and who thus look at an issue from all different sides, and  in order to there gain reliable and authoritative objectivity.

One Fatal Flaw of Peer Review

There is one fatal and deadly flaw in this “peer review philosophy.” What if the whole group has a powerful bias that is deep, intractable, and delusionary?

Ordinary scientific objectivity applies well to mechanical studies (as when testing whether a race car is going 150 miles per hour or 151 miles).  A machine is made of separate parts. Mathematical measurements of such parts then exactly define and objectify beginning and end points of those separate parts being measured. Things that function mechanically therefore can be studied in an ordinary “objective” way through lab measurements.

However living organisms are not made of separate parts.

Thus their functionality can not be so mathematized.  Biological life is really organized consciously and where consciousness forms a universal relationship of connection, not separation, the mathematical/mechanical model and ideology breaks down. Math symbols abstract the universal separation of elements of consciousness. It is the wrong symbolism with which to understand life and its consciousness. Math symbols point toward opposite and opposing realms!

It is then not objective for an entire group to then together maintain this mechanical worldview, this ideological bias initiated by Sir Isaac Newton into the fabric of the Royal Society, sheltered by its motto, and then jointly claiming that their combined efforts will  “purely objectify” our knowledge of biological realms.

The exact opposite occurs. Don’t be surprised when fraud perpetration is commonplace.

Thus where peer review fails the most is when the group of peer all subscribe to the same blind and blinding and blind-sighted ideology….or where a mechanical/unconscious/separative/dead model of nature (and derivatively allopathic medicine) is forced upon as… as being the most “objectively true.”

This then forms a further and deadly marriage with commercial interests to deep-as-the-ocean corrupt our cultural consciousness. This is one of the primary reasons modern medicine is a shambles, unable to cure any of the major chronic diseases we face in our times.

All Wearing the Same Tinted Glasses

Peer review among peers all wearing common ideological lenses (or if not you are thrown out of the club) then becomes a major tool for deep tentacled cultural deceptions.

In the end it can and does have vastly harmful consequences to us all.

Finally”separative consciousness” (reinforced by a mathematical/mechanical orientation) again  is objective in mechanical realms but is by definition is non-0bjective in biological realms where things work consciously together as a whole.

True objectivity then looks at the whole and not the part or some lab-isolate and separate symptom suppression testing – the routine deceptive focus of most all pharmaceutical testing.

Want to test the healing power of drugs objectively, with no more deceptions?

You only need to conduct one test to accomplish this, and it only takes a couple of dollars. Maybe you can get some free chemicals from your local pharmacists which are out of date drugs to conduct the test. So here it is. Take a large random mix of chemicals and throw them into a compost heap. A large and random mix objectifies the view at hand. It looks at the whole of the order of chemistry and of drug mixes ad infinitum. What is the end result? The mix invariably forms a supertoxic environment that kills all of life in the compost heap.

To try to prove otherwise via billion dollar isolate studies is perpetuating the fraud of “better living through chemistry”

This is the peer ideology shared by all allopathic doctors working together as a biased peer and commercial group.

Commonplace Fraudulent Medical Writing

Story Behind

Taking Down

Times Square Billboard -

Its Informed

Vaccine Choices

Message

Based on an article by Barbara Loe Fisher

(Healingtalks) It is a short 15 second public service message on the CBS Jumbotron on Times Square in New York City that encourages everyone to make informed vaccine choices. The message is sponsored by the nonprofit charity, the National Vaccine Information Center, and made possible by a donation from Mercola.com. It has been shown hourly since March 22, 2011 alongside much bigger ads for a variety of products marketed by large corporations.¹

American Academy of Pediatrics Strong Arms CBS

On April 13, the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) sent a letter to CBS containing misinformation about NVIC in an attempt to strong arm the network into taking the vaccine education message down before it was scheduled to end on April 28. The AAP letter was provided to bloggers,^{2 , 3} who orchestrated an online smear campaign against NVIC and created a petition drive to increase pressure on CBS. Mainstream media outlets like The Guardian in Great Britain republished the AAP’s attack and added more disinformation.⁴

Follow Big Pharma Money

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is a trade association with 60,000 pediatrician members that publishes guidelines for giving vaccines to children. In recent years, the public has learned that the AAP has been taking lots of money from vaccine manufacturers and refusing to disclose to the media just how much money it gets from Big Pharma.⁵

In the early 1980′s, the AAP lobbied Congress to give pediatricians and drug companies liability protection from vaccine injury lawsuits while parents of DPT vaccine injured children worked hard to get vaccine safety and informed consent provisions in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986,⁶ which has already paid out more than 2 billion dollars in federal compensation to children and adults harmed by vaccines.⁷ Today, when a pediatrician continues to vaccinate a child after the child has experienced vaccine reactions that get worse after each round of shots, that pediatrician is not held liable in a civil court of law when the child ends up brain damaged or dead because of the pediatrician’s negligence.

AAP: Censoring Vaccine Information

This, together with the fact that in February 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court gave drug companies a bigger shield⁸ from vaccine injury lawsuits – even if the company could have made a safer vaccine – means that the only power Americans have left to protect ourselves from vaccine injury is to arm ourselves with information and defend the legal right to make vaccine choices.⁹ But, clearly, that is getting harder to do when doctors and organizations paid by the pharmaceutical industry are trying to censor vaccine information and block all public conversation about vaccination, while lobbying to take away the human right to informed consent to medical risking taking.^{10 , 11 , 12 , 13}

Dr. Paul Offit: Follow the Money

One of those doctors paid a lot of money by Big Pharma is Dr. Paul Offit.¹⁴ He creates new vaccines and has made a career out of denying vaccine risks and defaming people,^{15 , 16 , 17 , 18} who disagree with his unscientific opinions like his cavalier insistence that it would be safe to give a child 10,000 vaccines at once.¹⁹ He delights in spreading misinformation about parents of vaccine injured children,²⁰ doctors helping those children,²¹ and journalists trying to cover both sides of the vaccine safety debate.

Offit spent a large part of his new book demonizing me and NVIC with the half witted, zealous obsession of a stalker.²² Just this week, a newspaper in Orange County, CA published a retraction²³ for printing Offit’s defamatory accusation that veteran CBS journalist, Sharyl Attkisson, lied when she accurately reported in 2008 that Offit failed to inform CBS about exactly how much money he and his employer, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, are paid by Merck. Merck is the manufacturer and marketer of Vioxx and a whole slew of vaccines, including Offit’s rotavirus vaccine and Gardasil, hepatitis B, chicken pox, shingles and MMR vaccines.²⁴

Doctors Deceptively Demanding We Must Trust Them

Why should we care about influential doctors, who take big money from Big Pharma, and then spend a lot of their time viciously attacking anyone daring to suggest that vaccines and vaccine policies could be made safer?

We should care because doctors don’t just ask but, increasingly, demand that we trust them with our health and the health of our children. Many pediatricians, who are now giving children six dozen doses of 16 vaccines starting on the day of birth,²⁵ throw parents out of their office if they dare to ask too many questions about vaccination or ask for fewer vaccines to be given at once.^{26 , 27 , 28} While the AAP is promoting the idea that every child must live in a “family-centered medical home” so pediatricians can “oversee” children’s health,²⁹ including giving children three times as many vaccinations as children got three decades ago, there are hundreds of new vaccines in the research pipeline.^{30 , 31}

New Vaccines, New Mandates, BIG Profits

How many of these hundreds of new vaccines will be fast tracked by the FDA^{32 , 33} and mandated for children as soon as they are licensed?³⁴ Probably most of them, because that is how drug companies with no liability make big profits – by making sure that every vaccine they make and sell is legally required to be used by every child. And adults are not exempt from the vaccine mandate creep either, just ask American health care workers, who are being fired if they don’t get an annual flu shot,³⁵ as well as lots of other vaccines.

Doctors Should Partner With Parents to Prevent Vaccine Reactions

But what about the children, for whom the risks of vaccination are 100 percent? What about them? Aren’t their lives worth saving, too?

Shouldn’t organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics be doing everything they can to teach their members about how to be partners with parents in preventing vaccine reactions instead of throwing families out of their offices and attacking organizations like NVIC representing families, whose loved ones have suffered life-altering vaccine reactions?

Thirty years ago, when I took my healthy, precocious two and a half year old son into his pediatrician for his fourth DPT shot, I was told nothing about how to recognize a vaccine reaction. He had experienced an extremely severe local reaction after his third DPT shot but I did not understand the significance of that and neither did my pediatrician. So another DPT shot was given and I watched my child suffer a convulsion, collapse, and experience many hours of unconsciousness shortly after his vaccination and did not realize he was experiencing a brain inflammation that would change his life and mine forever.

Brain Inflammation: From Infections and Vaccines

Brain inflammation³⁶ is one of the most feared complications of vaccination and has been since the first vaccines – smallpox and rabies vaccines – were created and given to humans. ^{37 , 38} Doctors have known for more than a century that brain inflammation,³⁹ whether it is caused by an infection or a vaccination,^{40 , 41 , 42} can cause different kinds of permanent brain dysfunction that ranges from multiple learning disabilities to medication resistant seizure disorders, mental retardation⁴³ and, yes, sometimes can result in a constellation of brain dysfunction symptoms that are labeled by doctors as “autism.” ^{44 , 45}

In the book, DPT: A Shot in the Dark, published a quarter century ago, there are many case histories of children, whose pediatricians did not tell mothers about how to recognize the symptoms of vaccine reactions and those children were revaccinated over and over again until they were permanently brain damaged or died.⁴⁶ A number of these children came from families with strong medical histories of allergy and autoimmunity, like my family,⁴⁷ which the pediatricians dismissed as unimportant.

Writing Off Vaccine Reaction Symptoms Is Dangerous

Too often doctors today – just like doctors back in the 1980′s – are not telling parents about what to look for after vaccines are given. Too many pediatricians today are listening to the advice of Paul Offit^{48 , 49} and, instead of adhering to the precautionary principle, are dangerously writing off symptoms of vaccine reactions as a “coincidence” without having a clue about whether that is true for an individual child.

At the National Vaccine Information Center, where we have been collecting information on vaccine reactions since 1982, it is clear to us that more than 50 percent of all vaccine injuries and deaths could potentially be prevented if doctors and parents were educated about what a vaccine reaction looks like and if pediatricians were much more cautious about re-vaccinating children when a child gets sicker and sicker after each round of shots.^{50, 51 , 52}

Learn How to Make Informed Vaccine Choices

Because your pediatrician may not tell you how to recognize a symptom of a vaccine reaction, you can download the brochure “If You Vaccinate, Ask 8 Questions” from NVIC’s website. It contains a list of vaccine reactions to look for like high pitched screaming and collapse/shock and seizures.⁵³ At NVIC’s website, you can also access vaccine product information published by the vaccine manufacturers and the FDA, as well as do your own research about vaccine reactions reported to the federal government.⁵⁴ You can access a Vaccine Ingredient Calculator that educates you about vaccine components and how to make informed vaccine choices.⁵⁵

And remember, if your child suffers symptoms of marked deterioration in physical, mental or emotional health after vaccination, you need to make sure your pediatrician writes down those symptoms in the child’s permanent medical record.

One Size Vaccine Does Not Fit All

America’s children would be better served if the American Academy of Pediatrics leadership educated its membership about how to be intelligent, compassionate partners with parents in preventing vaccine reactions, injuries and deaths rather than write off symptoms of vaccine reactions as a “coincidence” and bully parents into submitting to one-size-fits-all vaccine policies that are not safe for every single child. People are not all the same and we do not all react the same way to pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines.⁵⁶ Some children are genetically and biologically at higher risk for suffering life-altering vaccine reactions.⁵⁷

Pretending that is not true is both intellectually dishonest and cruel.

No child is expendable and no pediatrician should be encouraged to be a zealous implementer of state vaccine policy first instead of, first, doing no harm.

America Conned: Psycho Pharma Empire Under Fire

America Conned: Psycho Pharma Empire Under Fire

by Monica G. Young
Email this author

Is America truly stricken with widespread mental illness? Do tens of millions need mind-altering drugs? A recent flurry of media articles lead readers to a realization that Big Pharma and the “mental health” industry have deceived Americans on a grand scale.

The “New York Review of Books” two-part article by Dr. Marcia Angell, Senior Lecturer at Harvard Medical School and former Editor in Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, summarizes it extremely well. She analyzes three books by authors Irving Kirsch, Robert Whitaker, and Daniel Carlat. Each deconstructs the apparent mental illness epidemic and theory that mental disorders stem from brain chemical imbalances which can be corrected by drugs.

Dr. Angell’s review has sparked a host of other journalists to applaud her and fuel the fire. An article in Forbes even concludes, “psychopharma is looking like an idea whose time has passed.”

Overview of how Big Pharma conned America

• 10% of Americans over age six take antidepressants.
• Antipsychotic drugs, once reserved for schizophrenics, have become the top-selling class of drugs in the US, with over $14 billion in sales in 2009.
• ADHD, bipolar and autism diagnoses have exploded in the past two decades with at least 5 million US kids now on psychiatric drugs.
• 10% of boys take drugs for ADHD.
• Half a million kids take antipsychotics, including preschoolers.

The Chemical Imbalance Theory

This rose to fame when Prozac hit the market in 1987, accompanied by massive hype that it corrected a chemical deficiency in the brain. In the years that followed, the number of people prescribed drugs for mental illness skyrocketed. Today, “treatment” for mental disorders is synonymous with psychoactive (mind-altering) drugs.

Tracing the origin of this theory shows it wasn’t that chemical imbalances were discovered in the mentally ill and then drugs were devised to correct the imbalance. Instead, drugs created for other purposes were incidentally found to also affect brain chemicals and blunt mental symptoms. Drug companies, hungry for new markets, and psychiatry, eager to build stature in the medical arena, leapt on this. They conducted a vast campaign to popularize chemical imbalances as the cause of mental disturbance and push drugs as the answer.

As Dr. Angell writes, “instead of developing a drug to treat an abnormality, an abnormality was postulated to fit a drug.” “Or similarly,” she says, “one could argue that fevers are caused by too little aspirin.”

Many scientific studies disprove the chemical imbalance theory.

• After fifteen years of research, Irving Kirsch – psychologist and author of “The Emperor’s New Drugs” – concludes, “It now seems beyond question that the traditional account of depression as a chemical imbalance in the brain is simply wrong.” Research studies show psychoactive medications actually disrupt brain chemistry and causes the brain to function abnormally.

• This year prominent neuroscientist, Dr. Nancy Andreason, announced proof that antipsychotics shrink the brain.

• Studies also demonstrate that long-term recovery rates are higher for non-medicated patients. For instance, the World Health Organization conducted an investigation in fifteen cities around the world and out of 740 depressed individuals studied, those that weren’t on psychiatric drugs had the best long term outcomes.
• In the pre-medication era, it was known that with time, people usually recovered from depression. If kids had tantrums, were unruly or shy, they were apt to outgrow it.

Today, individuals branded with disorders are likely to receive long-lasting diagnoses, endless prescriptions and the poorer ones tend to remain on disability for life.

Big Pharma manipulation

Dr. Marcia Angell says the author of each of the three books agrees on “the disturbing extent to which the companies that sell psychoactive drugs – through various forms of marketing, both legal and illegal, and what many people would describe as bribery – have come to determine what constitutes a mental illness and how the disorders should be diagnosed and treated.”According to IMS Health, an information and consulting company, pharmaceutical companies spent $6.1 billion in 2010 in marketing to US doctors.

• Another $4 billion was spent on direct-to-patient advertising.
• The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual – the psychiatric bible of mental disorders, used in prescribing drugs – Dr. Angell points out “in all of its editions, it has simply reflected the opinions of its writers.” The majority of the psychiatrists involved in creating the current edition had financial ties to drug companies.
• Drug trials, used to bring a drug to market, are funded by drug companies, heavily biased and misleading. Companies may sponsor as many trials as they like until they have just two positive ones to submit to the FDA. Great care is taken to hide negative trials. The highly positive results of placebo trials are downplayed: a high percentage of patients recover on a fake drug (like a sugar pill) – proving that the more a person believes he will benefit from a treatment, the more likely he will experience a benefit.
• Author Daniel Carlat points out that “psychiatrists consistently lead the pack of specialties when it comes to taking money from drug companies.”

Big Pharma’s crime against humanity

And where has the “mental health” industry and “drug therapy” brought our nation?

As Americans line up at their local pharmacy, documented side effects are legion: weight gain, deadened emotions, diabetes, heart problems, liver damage, stunted growth in kids, shortened life spans and on and on. Those prescribed one psychoactive drug are commonly prescribed another to address side-effects, with many on daily cocktails of meds.An estimated 2.2 million Americans are hospitalized each year for adverse drug reactions.

• Over 100,000 die from them.
• Instead of decreasing, the number of adults on disability pay for mental illness has soared 250% since 1987.
• For kids it’s a 35X increase.

The greatest crime to humanity is the mass drugging of children. Yet it’s perpetrated within schools, doctor offices, foster homes and juvenile facilities daily.

There is good news. In the past few years, drug companies have faced a rise of multi-billion dollar class action suits. The key popularizer of childhood bipolar and antipsychotics for kids, Dr. Joseph Biederman, was publicly sanctioned by Harvard Medical School for failing to report $1.6 million he pocketed from drug companies. Some drugmakers are steering away from pursuing new psychoactive drugs.

Big Pharma Telling A Big Lie

Nazi chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels once said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

This chemical-imbalance/drug therapy lie has been told big enough and repeated enough, that much of America believes it. Isn’t it time we all put a stop to it?

ND indicates a medically trained and licensed doctor in some areas. FNP indicates a family nurse practitioner.
Ever wonder why doctors can’t find the cause for many diseases? It’s because they are conditioned to ignore the relationship between illness and vaccines.

Diseases Caused by Vaccinations

These are some of the diseases that have documented associations with vaccines:

• Allergies and eczema
• Arthritis
• Asthma
• Autism
• Acid reflux requiring an infant to take proton pump inhibitors, which have many side effects
• Cancer
• Diabetes (infant and childhood)
• Kidney disease
• Miscarriages
• Long list of neurological and autoimmune diseases
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
• And many, many more

Side Effects Caused By Vaccinations

These are some known vaccine side effects, documented in medical literature and/or in package inserts:

• Arthritis, bleeding disorders, blood clots, heart attacks, sepsis
• Ear infections
• Fainting (with reports of broken bones)
• Kidney failure requiring dialysis
• Seizures/epilepsy
• Severe allergic reactions, such as hives and anaphylaxis
• Sudden death
• Many common diagnoses given for hospital admissions.
• The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, (NVICP) has awarded more than $1.2 billion in damages to children and adults injured by vaccines.

Autism Is Associated With Vaccines

Autism was rare until the mass vaccination programs were accelerated in 1991, with the introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine and the HiB (meningitis) vaccine. Tens of thousands of parents will attest that autism appeared in their children very soon after they were given these, and other, vaccines. Study the information on the website www.fourteenstudies.org. You will find the studies denying the association between autism and vaccines to be highly questionable.

Other Vaccine Facts

• Drug companies, insurance companies and the medical system get rich when you get sick.
• Vaccines do not give life‐long immunity, which means booster shots are recommended.
• Each booster shot increases the risk of more side effects.
• Vaccine side effects can make you sick for the rest of your life. Conveniently, there are many drugs to treat the side effects caused by vaccines.
• In the U.S., neither drug companies nor doctors can be sued when something bad happens from a vaccination. Both are protected by the 1986 National Child Vaccine Injury Act. This law, signed into effect by then‐president Ronald Reagan decreed: “No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine‐related injury or death.”(Public Law 99‐660)

Why Not Get A Vaccine Shot?

Many doctors and health‐care practitioners do not get vaccinated and do not vaccinate their children. Why not?

• They know vaccines are not proven to be safe or effective. They know vaccines contain dangerous substances.
• They know vaccines cause serious health problems
• They have treated patients with serious side effects from vaccines.
• The only people who benefit from being healthy are you and those you care about.

A Story Of Corruption

• Drug companies have infiltrated and seized control over the entire healthcare system, including medical schools, medical journals, hospitals, clinics and the local pharmacy. A doctor’s very livelihood thus depends on blind faith, without questioning any aspect of any vaccination. Even when obvious evidence of vaccine damage occurs right before a doctor’s eyes, s/he is usually unwilling to consider a vaccine as the cause. Though uncorrupt science and medicine support rejection of vaccines, doing so can be considered professional career suicide. The signatories to this document boldly risk this end for the safety of you and your child.
• Hospitals benefit financially from hospitalizations and tests.
• Drug companies make billions of dollars from vaccines.
• Drug companies make tens of billions of dollars from drugs given to treat side effects and life‐time illnesses caused by vaccines.
• Vaccines are the backbone of the medical system. Without vaccines, healthcare costs would go down because we would have a healthier overall society. We have exchanged chicken pox for autism, flu for asthma, ear infections for diabetes. The list goes on and on. In the zeal to eliminate a short list of relatively benign microbes, we have traded temporary illnesses for pervasive, life‐long diseases, disorders, dysfunctions and disabilities.

How Many Vaccines are There?

• If U.S. children receive all doses of all vaccines, they are injected with up to 35 shots that contain 113 different kinds of disease particles, 59 different chemicals, four types of animal cells/DNA, human DNA from aborted fetal tissue and human albumin.
• If you think you don’t have to worry about vaccines because your children are older, think again. There are at least 20 more vaccines currently in the development pipeline for release in the next few years, mostly targeting adolescents and adults.

Some Vaccine Ingredients

How is it possible that vaccines will not be harmful to your health?

• Stray viruses and bacteria from the animal cell cultures that vaccines are made in.
• Mercury, a well‐documented neurotoxin, is still in the multi‐dose flu vaccines throughout the world. Trace amounts remain in several other vaccines.
• Aluminum, a poison that can cause bone, bone marrow and brain degeneration.
• Animal cells from monkeys, dog kidneys, chickens, cows, and humans.
• Formaldehyde (embalming fluid), a known carcinogen.
• Polysorbate 80, known to cause infertility in female mice and testicular atrophy in male mice.
• Gelatin, from pigs and cows, known to cause anaphylactic reactions, is found in large quantities in the MMR, chickenpox and shingles vaccines.
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in inhaled flu vaccines, is known to cause metabolic disturbances (e.g. diabetes), seizures and other neurologic disorders.

Conflicts of Interest In The Vaccine Industry

• The same people who make rules and recommendations about vaccination profit from vaccine sales. For example, Dr. Julie Gerberding, who was in charge of the CDC for eight years, is now the President of Merck Vaccines. Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice(ACIP), developed and patented his own vaccine.
• According to the CDC, the average U.S. 10‐doctor pediatric group has over $100,000 of vaccine inventory in their office to sell. These doctors make money from office visits and from giving your children vaccines, and also from follow up office visits for assessing reactions.
• U.S. pediatricians reportedly make quarterly bonuses from the HMOs they work for by maintaining high vaccination rates in their practices and have reportedly been reprimanded by insurance companies if their vaccination rates fall.

Vaccine Research

Is there any research that shows the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated children?

• The Cal‐Oregon project sponsored by Generation Rescue surveyed parents of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated U.S. children. Of the 17,674 children included in the survey, the results showed:
• Vaccinated children had 120% more asthma.
• Vaccinated boys had 317% more ADHD.
• Vaccinated boys had 185% more neurologic disorders.
• Vaccinated boys had 146% more autism.
• Girls represented only 20% of the total number of children in the survey. To read the full study for yourself, go to www.generationrescue.org/pdf/survey.pdf.

More studies on autism are found here http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/japvaxautism/ and here http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/britvaxautism/

Vaccine Exemptions And Options In The U.S

• You do have the right to refuse. Use it.
• Your child does not have to be vaccinated to attend public school.
• Every state has exemptions giving you the right to refuse unwanted vaccines. http://exemptmychild.com/10752
• Find a healthcare provider who agrees with your choice to not vaccinate and will respect you at www.vaccinationcouncil.org/providers.pdf
• Many choose health and safety by saying no to vaccines.
• Groups that generally do not vaccinate include holistic practitioners, chiropractors, parents who home school, and those who belong to certain religions.
• Thousands of testimonies written by parents of non‐vaccinated children about the state of their children’s robust health are available many places online.
• Vaccination decisions are between you and your spouse/partner. No one else needs to know. It is not the business of your family members, your neighbors, or your in‐laws.
• To have vibrant health, you will need to take the initiative to learn some new things. The safe choice is to say no to vaccines. You have control over health choices you make for yourself and your children. You have no control over the outcome of a vaccination.
• You do not need a pediatrician to simply weigh and measure your child and give shots. Consider a naturopathic doctor, a pediatric chiropractor, a doctor of oriental medicine, or a homeopathic doctor. You may find that family doctors of osteopathic medicine are more open‐minded about vaccine‐free choices. Babies are born with powerful, natural defenses. If this were not so, all would die shortly after birth. Enormous cascades of complex immune processes start with the first cry. This needs to occur naturally, without the interruption caused by the injections of toxic substances.
• Learn about the “vaccine preventable” diseases. Your children will never come in contact with most of them and if they do, nearly all healthy and unvaccinated children recover uneventfully, with long term immunity. Health cannot come through a needle.
• Learn about the importance of fever, how to take care of it at home and when it is time to call the doctor. Most fevers resolve on their own, with care and support, in just a few hours. www.drtenpenny.com/fever.aspx
• Understand that your child can be vaccinated and still contract the illness you are wishing to prevent. Vaccines may not provide the protection that people assume they do. Health cannot come through a needle.
• Learn that the primary keys to health are good nutrition, pure water, adequate sleep, routine exercise and happiness.
• Learn some simple information about vitamins, especially the critically important information about vitamin D3. Learn how to use basic herbs and basic homeopathy for health and for addressing minor illnesses.
• Learn more than your doctor about vaccines. Your medical doctor has probably never read anything about vaccines except drug‐company and CDC‐sponsored publications that support their use.
• Know that healthcare is something you pay for; sick care is covered by insurance. Your insurance will pay for drugs and vaccines. Budget accordingly to stay healthy. Your life depends on it.

A new study, published in Human and Experimental Toxicology (http://het.sagepub.com/content/earl…), a peer-reviewed journal indexed by the National Library of Medicine, found that nations with higher (worse) infant mortality rates tend to give their infants more vaccine doses.

Example Of This Correlation

For example, the United States requires infants to receive 26 vaccines — the most in the world — yet more than six U.S. infants die per every 1000 live births. In contrast, Sweden and Japan administer 12 vaccines to infants, the least amount, and report less than three deaths per 1000 live births.

Infant Mortality Study Protocols

The authors of the study, Neil Z. Miller and Dr. Gary Goldman, conducted a literature review to determine the immunization schedules for the United States and all 33 nations with better infant mortality rates than the United States. The total number of vaccine doses specified for infants aged less than one year was then determined for each country. The 34 nations were then organized into data pairs consisting of total number of vaccine doses specified for their infants and infant mortality rates. A scatter plot of the data pairs provided evidence of a positive correlation: infant mortality rates and vaccine doses tend to increase together.

Nations were also grouped into five different vaccine dose ranges. The mean infant mortality rates of all nations within each group were then calculated. Analysis showed “a high statistically significant correlation between increasing number of vaccine doses and increasing infant mortality rates.”

“Positive” Correlation

It is instructive to note that many developing nations require their infants to receive multiple vaccine doses and have national vaccine coverage rates (a percentage of the target population that has been vaccinated) of 90% or better, yet their infant mortality rates are poor. Infant mortality rates will remain high in nations that cannot provide clean water, proper nutrition, improved sanitation, and better access to health care.

Nations with higher (worse) infant mortality rates give their infants, on average, more vaccine doses. This positive correlation, derived from the data, elicits an important inquiry: Are some infant deaths associated with over-vaccination? Is it possible that some nations are requiring too many vaccines for their infants and the additional vaccines are a toxic burden on their health?

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS):

There is some evidence that a subset of infants may be more susceptible to SIDS shortly after being vaccinated. For example, Torch found that unvaccinated babies who died of SIDS did so most often in the fall or winter while vaccinated babies died most often at 2 and 4 months — the same ages when initial doses of DPT were given to infants. He concluded that DPT “may be a generally unrecognized major cause of sudden infant and early childhood death, and that the risks of immunization may outweigh its potential benefits.” It appears as though some infant deaths attributed to SIDS may be vaccine related, perhaps associated with biochemical or synergistic toxicity due to over-vaccination.

All nations have an obligation to determine whether their immunization schedules are achieving their desired goals.

Murdoch’s Worst Crimes

By William Newton Special to Salem-News.com

“… the evidence of sleazy and scandalous behavior of the Murdoch papers has expanded geometrically.” Michael Collins

(LONDON) – Rupert Murdoch’s news empire faces intense media and legal scrutiny.

Current revelations focus on Murdoch’s News of the World hacking into the Dowler family’s voice messages during the kidnapping case their 12 year old daughter Milly, and Murdoch’s London Times’ allegedly having illegally obtained the financial, property and medical information of former UK Labour Party Leader Gordon Brown during the time he was chancellor. BBC – “Gordon Brown ‘targeted’ by Sunday Times” Murdoch’s Last Pillar of Legitimacy Crumbles. A 2010 exposure of Murdoch’s Times of London revealed that it had published forged documents purporting to show that Iran planned to do nuclear experiments for an atomic weapon, and as Michael Collins at Oped News points out, it was Murdoch’s “drumbeat of misinformation” that helped mislead people into believing that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attack, supporting Bush’s invasion of Iraq, though intelligence was “unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent.” Senate Intelligence Committee Unveils Final Phase II Reports on Prewar Iraq Intelligence June 5, 2008

But what has not yet been covered is the media circus Murdoch’s London Times created internationally as it fabricated lies against a respected British doctor, with consequences that could impact the lives of billions of children in the world.

The London Time’s headlines read:

Callous, unethical and dishonest’: Dr Andrew Wakefield

MMR scare doctor Andrew Wakefield makes fortune in US.

Andrew Wakefield MMR – the investigation – by Brian Deer

London Times : MMR doctor Andrew Wakefield ‘abused his position of trust.’

Andrew Wakefield was a respected British gastroenterologist who began research into digestive problems in autistic children in collaboration with other doctors in the UK, after being called by parents seeking help.  His work indicated severe digestive issues and he asked for more investigation of the MMR vaccine.

Brian Deer is the reporter who savaged Dr Wakefield from the pages of the Sunday Times, a paper managed by Rupert Murdoch’s son James Murdoch who is on the board of GlaxoSmithKline which makes the MMR.  Deer researched his case with the help of Medico-Legal Investigations a private enquiry company whose only source of funding is the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry.  Deer was both the  journalist writing on Wakefield and the person to bring a case of fitness to practice medicine to the General Medical Council, and then wrote about the proceedings as well.   Parents whose children were treated by Wakefield were denied the right to be heard before a real court on claims against the vaccine manufacturers.  The High Court judge who denied them was Sir Nigel Davis, whose brother is an executive board member of Elsevier, publishers of the Lancet which removed Wakefield’s paper on the subject, published in 1998, and is on the Board of GlaxoSmithKline.

With the London Times given Brian Deer free reign to attack Wakefield, media closed in like shark.  Coincidentally, the head of Reuters serves on the Board of Merck, and Miriam Stoppard who writes at the Daily Mirror Newspaper is married to Sir Christopher Hogg, who was Chairman of GlaxoSmith Kline un 2004.  Dr Kumar, the Chairman of the GMC Fitness to Practice Panel who ruled against Dr Andrew Wakefield, would not answer questions about his shareholdings in GlaxoSmithKline, and said there was no such thing as vaccine damage as well as saying that any parents who claimed that their children had suffered such, would be treated with scorn and contempt

Wakefield lost his license to practice and left the UK.  What had he done that Murdoch’s machine went into action, creating fictions about him, getting his work pulled from the Lancet, getting him brought before the GMC to ultimately lose his license?  Wakefield suggested that until further studies, that the measles vaccine be given as a separate vaccine rather than in combination as the MMR (measles, Mumps, Rubella).  He did not suggest that children not take a measles vaccine, only that there be caution until the MMR was investigate further. This reasonable suggestion was met immediately by the single measles vaccines being taken off the market.

Wakefield’s work with Professor Walker-Smith and Professor Simon Murch had touched a nerve.  The pharmaceutical industry, an industry that makes 6 times more than any industry on Wall Street is heavily invested in vaccines (in the US, the companies do not have to prove any efficacy to get FDA approval) and is moving on every front to have their product mandated.  To suggest the one of the main vaccines for children might be destroying them mentally and physiologically was a problem, yet the study showed severe digestive system damage and mitochondrial dysfunction.  Mitochondrial dysfunction has been confirmed by other studies but taking down Wakefield in a big way became a means of discrediting anyone questioning vaccines.  Wakefield was cast as a fraud and so all those voicing concerns were dismissed by reference to him.

This documentary gives background and can allow people to judge the credibility of Murdoch’s reporter for themselves.  http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=21C9E60E7A00D3D8B3DF37796B661886

To understand how serious all this is, and thus how much is at stake for millions if not billions of children, one need to appreciate how profound it is for mitochondria not to function normally.

“Children with autism are far more likely to have deficits in their ability to produce cellular energy than are typically developing children, a new study by researchers at UC Davis has found. The study, published in theJournal of the American Medical Association(JAMA), found that cumulative damage and oxidative stress in mitochondria, the cell’s energy producer, could influence both the onset and severity of autism, suggesting a strong link between autism and mitochondrial defects.  …. Mitochondria are the primary source of energy production in cells and carry their own set of genetic instructions, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), to carry out aerobic respiration. Dysfunction in mitochondria already is associated with a number of other neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia ….”  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101130161521.htm

Mitochondrial disorders may be caused by mutations, acquired or inherited, in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or in nuclear genes that code for mitochondrial components. They may also be the result of acquired mitochondrial dysfunction due to adverse effects of drugs, infections, or other environmental causes (see MeSH). … Defects in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are associated with hundreds of clinical disease phenotypes including anemia, dementia, hypertension, lymphoma, retinopathy, seizures, and neurodevelopmental disorders.[2]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_disease#Characteristics

In opening up the issue mitochrondrial dysfunction and urging a shift back to a single measles vaccine (an earlier vaccine), Wakefield may have stumbled onto something explosive.  For the MMR vaccine appears to be the third generation of vaccines, what are called DNA vaccines. They involve shooting genetically engineered material into the body, often using gene guns that were used into the genetic engineering of seeds, in order to achieve DNA “uptake.”

From Wikipedia on DNA Vaccines:

Methods of delivery:

The two most popular approaches are injection of DNA in saline, using a standard hypodermic needle, and gene gun delivery. … Injection in saline is normally conducted intramuscularly (IM) in skeletal muscle, or intradermally (ID), with DNA being delivered to the extracellular spaces. This can be assisted by electroporation[19]; by temporarily damaging muscle fibres with myotoxins such as bupivacaine; or by using hypertonic solutions of saline or sucrose.[2] Immune responses to this method of delivery can be affected by many factors, including needle type,[8] needle alignment, speed of injection, volume of injection, muscle type, and age, sex and physiological condition of the animal being injected.[2]Gene gun delivery, the other commonly used method of delivery, ballistically accelerates plasmid DNA (pDNA) that has been adsorbed onto gold or tungsten microparticles into the target cells, using compressed helium as an accelerant.[2][12]

Alternative delivery methods have included aerosol instillation of naked DNA on mucosal surfaces, such as the nasal and lung mucosa,[12]and topical administration of pDNA to the eye[20] and vaginal mucosa.[12] Mucosal surface delivery has also been achieved using cationic liposome-DNA preparations,[1] biodegradablemicrospheres,[21][12] attenuated Shigella or Listeria vectors for oral administration to the intestinal mucosa,[22] and recombinant [genetically engineered] adenovirus vectors.[12]

The DNA vaccines depend on DNA uptake. However, “[t]his phenomenon has not been the subject of much research, so the actual mechanism of DNA uptake is not known.”

And what is meant by DNA uptake?  Does it mean as it sounds, that genetically engineered material is taken up by the DNA of those being injected with it?  And if so, does that mean that these vaccines are genetically altering (or “engineering”) those receiving the vaccines?

Is it possible that the mitochondrial dysfunction seen in autistic children is a result of their DNA having been compromised?  The new DNA vaccines derive from failed gene therapy.  Are the new DNA vaccines a continuation of experiments in genetic engineering, being conducted on millions of children?

Cloned animals also suffer from mitochondrial dysfunction.

In the cloned animals, mitochondria are transferred to the eggs along with the nucleus from somatic cells, leading to a mixture of mitochondrial genes from egg and the somatic cell from which the nucleus was obtained. This mixture of mitochondria (called heteroplasmy) introduces incompatibility between mitochondrial and nuclear genetic material that contribute to the high rates of abnormalities and deaths among clones and leads to cell and tissue disruption as the cloned animal develops. The impact of mitochondrial dysfunction is great because the mitochondria provide energy for the cells. http://www.i-sis.org.uk/human_milk_from_cloned_transgenic_cattle.php

And It seems that people have already been genetically engineered.  Dr. Joseph Cummins, professor emeritus of biology at the University of Western Ontario, says “It seems likely that the transplants are going on, but very, very quietly in a regulatory vacuum, perhaps.”

The 23 new DNA vaccines have been linked to autism.  Are the new DNA vaccines altering and/or damaging children’s DNA, the code of life?

An overview of Murdoch’s connections to the pharmaceutical industry/international bankers cannot answer that question but at a minimum suggest serious problems with vaccines with the greatest wealth power in the world behind promoting them, nonetheless.

Lloyd Blankfein is co-chairman with media mogul Rupert Murdoch in the David Rockefeller-founded Partnership for New York City (PFNYC),15 chartered by the Royal Family of England. This group is currently advancing a world leading biotechnology trust, heavily invested in “genetopharmaceuticals” and flu vaccine genetic engineering. [Emphasis added.]Members of this group, along with George Soros-directed assets, virtually monopolized the genetics industry during the 1990s, culminating in the corporate privatization of the Human Genome Project.19

Involvement of these economic leaders in the vaccine industry is most revealing and even shocking as the following facts evidence:

The Baxter Corporation, indicted for spreading HIV contaminated blood products during the late 1970s through the 1980s; a cheap lethal heparin substitute in 2008;21 and H5N1 contaminated seasonal flu vaccines in early 2009,22 was directed by Mr. Tony White, Soros’s appointee to lead the privately owned Applera Company following their obvious heist of the Human Genome Project during the late 1990s. The sudden privatization of what had previously been public, non-profit, patentable property, also implicated co-sponsors–the U.S. Department of Energy and The Wellcome Trust of London.19,

Today, the American Baxter Company is a major H1N1 vaccine maker for European nations, and at the center of controversy concerning the expanding outbreak of recombinant H1N1-hemorrhagic pneumonia. Many experts conclude the 2009 H1N1 triple reassortant sourced from a lab,25 similar to its 1977 relative.

Rupert Murdoch’s mother, Elizabeth, Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, and daughter-in-law, Sarah Murdoch, steward the Royal Women’s Hospital and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, respectively, in Australia. They oversaw their staff conduct H1N1 vaccine trials on infants, children, and pregnant women in 2009, collaborating with Merck’s subsidiary, CSL. Furthermore, Rupert Murdoch’s son James oversees GlaxoSmithKline, another major H1N1 vaccine maker. Regarding efficacy, and more importantly safety, the CSL/Merck H1N1 vaccine tested in Murdoch-family directed facilities was simply assumed to be both safe and effective according to its package insert. The new and old vaccine had “no controlled clinical studies demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with” the company’s seasonal flu vaccine, “AFLURIA.” Likewise, vaccine safety was speciously assumed following  assessment days comparing those who received AFLURIA (with or without mercury preservative, confounding everyone’s analysis) with those who received some undisclosed “European-licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine as an active control” This “active control” was preserved with mercury.

In plainer language, an unidentified arguably neurotoxic vaccine served as a “placebo control.” Since no inactive placebo control such as saline was used, the study design was obviously flawed, confounding, biased, and arguably fraudulent. It may have precluded observing statistically significant differences between experimental and control groups falsely evidencing safety from lacking adverse event differentials. This intentional obfuscation exclusively benefited those with conflicting interests, and/or those inclined to rely on safety assurances to the detriment of public health and medical science. Yet, Murdoch-directed News Corp. assets heavily promoted these risky H1N1 vaccines as urgently required, safe and effective.

Curiously, in 2008, The Wellcome Trust of London’s Biocentre, the UK’s largest non-governmental source of funds for biomedical research, created a special grant program to heavily fund research into alleged mysterious neurodegenerative diseases linked by censored science to thimerosal mercury.

The Wellcome Trust’s alleged divestment of conflicting pharmaceutical interests following Burroughs Wellcome’s sale of stock to Glaxo PLC, created GlaxoWellcome, currently GlaxoSmithKlein. This allegation of “divestment” is discredited by more than the fund’s involvement in the Human Genome Project’s pirating, implicating George Soros and David Rockefeller-linked investors. Again, GlaxoSmithKlein makes the H1N1 vaccine, and Rupert Murdoch’s heir apparent, James Murdoch, oversees their Board of Directors.

And that’s not all. . . Rupert Murdoch’s Co-Chairman of the PFNYC, Lloyd Blankfein is a major shareholder in the Goldman-Sachs/AstraZeneca partnership. He directed AstraZeneca’s $15 billion acquisition of MedImmune, the H1N1 FLUMIST maker.

Besides James and Rupert’s News Corp directing film makers Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers, the Western World’s  mass-mediated mind-set is reinforced by PFNYC “partner” and Reuters News Service CEO, Thomas H. Glocer. Glocer sits on the Board of Directors of Merck & Company, whose (CSL) H1N1 vaccine, and (Merck’s) Pneumovax vaccine, is broadening markets as the main ingredient–laboratory engineered H1N1 virus–mutates, as in the Ukraine, becoming more deadly.

Additionally, those poorly-paid inadequately-trained pharmacists administering vaccines in supermarkets, draining doctors’ revenue streams, reflect the “hostile takeover” of clinical medicine by Goldman-Sachs’s limited partner, PFNYC “Corporate Partner,” and world-leading “buyout firm,” Kolberg, Kravitz, Roberts & Company (KKR) This “immunization” industry-altering practice is promoted as a “cost-saving” invention according to KKR’s director of Safeway supermarkets, Steven Burd, founder of the Coalition to Advance Healthcare Reform (CAHR),45 popularly called “Obamacare.”

Whatever the answer to questions about the new DNA vaccines, it is obvious that Rupert Murdoch’s connections to the pharmaceutical industry and vaccines are very deep.  No investigation of Murdoch’s crimes should omit his efforts to use his media empire to prevent exposure of potential dangers from the MMR vaccines and possibly all the new DNA vaccines.

The following is taken from Natural news. Thanks Mike

Mike’s synopsis keeps coming back to my mind as I travel around the country and see these obnoxious street signs, especially in Southern Florida with its aged population, and trying to convince that public to go to their local drug store chain to get a flu shot. We are in that season again, and the evils and deceptions of their approach to our health are no less visible now than when Mike Adams first wrote this article a year ago.

We still have to be on guard that such vaccination are not politically made mandatory and forced upon us to feed the hungry pockets of big Pharma corporations. They are used to make profits at the expense. I have done some condensing of this information to make the essence of it come out still more potently – so that our readers get the message. STAY AWAY FROM VACCINES LIKE THE PLAGUE!

With a swine flu vaccine
Blurting, “Darling, I haven’t a clue.”
- by the Health Ranger

Let’s not beat around the bush on this issue: The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults have never been tested and won’t be tested before the injections begin. In Europe, where flu vaccines are typically tested on hundreds (or thousands) of people before being unleashed on the masses, the European Medicines Agency is allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely.

And yet, amazingly, people are lining up to take the vaccine, absent any safety testing whatsoever. When the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs. The power of fear to herd sheep into vaccine injections is simply amazing…

Back in Europe, of course, everybody gets to be a guinea pig since no testing will be done on the vaccine at all. Even worse, the European vaccines will be using adjuvants — chemicals used to multiply the potency of the active ingredients in vaccines.

Notably, there is absolutely no safety data on the use of adjuvants in infants and expectant mothers — the two groups being most aggressively targeted by the swine flu vaccine pushers. The leads us to the disturbing conclusion that the swine flu vaccine could be a modern medical disaster. It’s untested and un-tried. Its ingredients are potentially quite dangerous, and the adjuvants being used in the European vaccines are suspected of causing neurological disorders.

Paralyzed by vaccines

I probably don’t need to remind you that in 1976, a failed swine flu vaccine caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors gave the problem a name, of course, to make it sound like they knew what they were talking about: Guillain-Barre syndrome. (Notably, they never called it “Toxic Vaccine Syndrome” because that would be too informative.)

But the fact remains that doctors never knew how the vaccines caused these severe problems, and if the same event played out today, all the doctors and vaccine pushers would undoubtedly deny any link between the vaccines and paralysis altogether. (That’s what’s happening today with the debate over vaccines and autism: Complete denial.)

In fact, there are a whole lot of things you’ll never be told by health authorities about the upcoming swine flu vaccine. For your amusement, I’ve written down the ten most obvious ones and published them below.

Ten things you’re not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine

#1 - NEVER TESTED – The vaccine production was “rushed” and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up.

#2 – DANGEROUS ADJUVANTS – Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

#3 – INCREASING THE RISK OF DEATH! – The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer protection. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

#4 -  NO CLUE ABOUT HARMS – Doctors still don’t know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they’re not testing it, either…)

#5 – NOT RESPONSIBLE – Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren’t responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

#6 – CAN’T COMPARE TO VITAMIN D’S EFFECT – No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That’s an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

#7 - THE ODDS – Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don’t need one! (Because it can’t spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated…

#8 - THE BOTTOM LINE $s- Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production and sale of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket — even if you don’t get the jab — because it’s all paid by the taxpayers.

#9 - DECEPTIONS - When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: “The number saved is far greater than the number lost.” Of course, the number “saved” is entirely fictional… imaginary… and exists only in their own warped heads.

#10 – ONLY USEFULNESS OF THE VACCINE – The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren’t completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn’t some sort of blue dye that we could tag ‘em with for future reference…)

The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who can’t do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don’t understand health.

Introductory comments by Nathan Batalion

The wealth of information provided below is from Natural News. It was first published October 11 2010. I think the article still understates the extent of the problem.   Doctors are trained in the mechanical vision of nature and so have almost zero knowledge of a life-centered view of nature and our bodies . A life-centered view is practiced at alternative/natural health centers like the  Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center or Hippocrates Health Institute.  As a result, they routinely reverse chronic illnesses naturally. Sometimes the patients have been so wasted, their doctors have told them to carefully straighten out their affairs, such as ordering a burial plot and get ready to die. After going to such a healing retreat, they return re-enlived and to befuddle and refute their doctors.

We occasionally need a surgeon after a car accident when an arm is severed. But with deep chronic conditions their mechanical approaches tend to be either worthless or do harm. Just as the total impact of synthetic chemicals is pollute our environment, the effect on our bodies can be expected to be the same – doctors are taught to study drugs separately in isolation from each other. This creates marketing biases for individual drugs, or a lack of objectivity. Yet allopathic medicine claims a monopoly ownership of objectivity. The great truth is that without a view of the whole of chemical impacts, this objectivity is a corrupt and total illusion. Doctors are intentional mis-educated not to recognize this. For example, the word “detox” is relegated to heroine addict clinics or the like, as if there were no chemical toxins at all to deal with in the real world – making drug administering just fine and dandy. What imaginary world are they living in, so  corrupted by trillion dollar chemical industries.

With natural healing we focus instead on whole-body healing nutrition and supportive detox (getting out what shouldn’t be there) Doctors are often so surprisingly ignorant of anything outside of the world of dispensing drugs, surgery and radiation. As a result, I have often view them as among the single most mis-educated members of our society.

Here is the story:

(NaturalNews) America is a nation of widespread health and nutritional illiteracy. And I’m not just talking about the knowledge gaps of health consumers, either. It’s the doctors and health “experts” who have astonishing gaps in knowledge that should be considered basic health information in any first-world nation.

Parents, too, lack any real literacy in nutrition and health. That’s largely because medical journals, health authorities and the mass media actively misinform them about health and nutrition issues, hoping to prevent people from learning how to take care of their own health using simple, natural remedies and cures.

Here are some shocking examples of the huge gaps in knowledge among doctors, parents and others…

What your doctor doesn’t know might actually harm you

• Most doctors have little or no understanding of the nutritional difference between LIVE foods and DEAD foods. Most doctors think they’re nutritional identical!

• Most conventional doctors don’t know that the NIH actively funded and operated criminal medical experiments on human prisoners (http://www.naturalnews.com/029920_U…).
• Most parents have no idea that processed meats (bacon, sausage, sandwich ham, etc.) are laced with the sodium nitrite coloring chemical that promotes aggressive brain, pancreas and colon cancers. (http://www.naturalnews.com/007024.html).
• Most doctors have no idea that seasonal flu vaccines are little more than quackery and simply don’t offer any real protection against the flu. (http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_v…)
• Very few parents know the difference between the words “natural” and “organic” on food labels. Most parents just think “natural” means “organic” and so they buy more products that claim to be natural (even when the word means nothing).
• Few doctors realize that statin drugs were engineered from a molecule called lovastatin, found naturally in red yeast rice. The drug companies pirated the molecule from nature (biopiracy), then patented it. Then they pressured the FDA to declare that red yeast rice was an “adulterated” supplemented because — get this — it naturally contains the drug they stole from it!
• Most parents are completely befuddled by the nutritional claims of infant formula. They are astonishingly unaware that some of the most popular infant formula products such as Similac are made with over 50% sugars (http://www.naturalnews.com/029863_S…)
• Virtually no one outside the natural health community knows that soy protein is extracted using a toxic, explosive chemical called hexane. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_s…)
• Very few people know that the carmine food coloring used in fruit punch drinks and strawberry yogurt is actually made from smashed red beetles.
  
• Most doctors remain completely unaware of the anti-cancer nutrients found in celery, grapefruit, cabbage and chocolate. They tend to believe that medicine comes from laboratories, not food.
• Very few parents are aware that processed milk and dairy products promote obesity, heart disease and acne in their teenage children. Astonishingly, most adults have been fooled into thinking that yogurt is good for them because it contains probiotics (never mind the homogenized milk fats).
• Most people of all ages, come to think of it, believe that frozen yogurt is somehow good for them, even though it’s really just processed ice cream sprinkled with probiotic powder (http://www.naturalnews.com/029038_f…).
• Most doctors are completely unaware of the health dangers of aspartame and MSG and make no attempt to educate their patients about avoiding these excitotoxins.
• Most people don’t know that if you sign up as an organ donor, literally millions of dollars may be made off your body parts while your organs go to murderers! (http://www.naturalnews.com/029296_o…) Also, if you’re an organ donor recipient, you may receive a cancer-ridden, diseased organ as your “new” transplant. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027353_h…)
• Think cooking on non-stick cookware is safe? Most people have no idea that non-stick cookware surfaces are made of highly toxic chemicals, and if you heat a non-stick pan on the stove, it will actually off-gas enough toxic chemicals to kill your pet parakeet (this is not a myth).
• Very few doctors know that the human body has a second brain. It’s located in your gut, and it’s a highly complex mass of interconnected neurons that give real “intelligence” to your digestion and your interactions with food. There’s even a book called The Second Brain (http://www.amazon.com/Second-Brain-…) that explains how it works.
• A typical conventional doctor cannot tell you the health benefits of blueberries — even though blueberries can make statin drugs obsolete for many people! Most naturopaths, however, are well aware of the benefits of blueberries and may even prescribe them to you.
• Most doctors DO know the truth about how toxic chemotherapy is for patients, but they won’t tell patients the details of what they know. It turns out that 91% of oncologists would not choose chemotherapy for themselves. (http://www.naturalnews.com/029996_c…)

This list could continue, of course. There are seemingly countless examples of extreme gaps in the knowledge of doctors who should frankly know better.

Med school graduates get an “F” in health

So why do conventional medical doctors remain so ignorant of the basics of human health and nutrition? Because medical schools don’t teach health. They teach disease, surgery and pharmacology. They offer virtually no material on nutrition, disease prevention or mind-body medicine, so the doctors that graduate from medical school are nutritionally illiterate and lacking basic health knowledge.

Yet, at the same time, they are being told that they know everything about health and the human body, so they suffer from the most dangerous combination of all: A smug, know-it-all attitude combined with far-reaching health illiteracy. This is one of the key reasons why America’s health care system is such an utter failure — the people who are supposed to possess more health knowledge than everybody else are the very same people who actually lack it. In a sense, they have been “de-educated” by medical schools and come out knowing less than they did when they entered med school.

I’m not the only one who thinks this. In fact, you’ll find some of these concerns reflected by other doctors who are appalled at the arrogance and health illiteracy of their own peers. For example, a commentary published in the July 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) features Dr. Pronovost, a professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explaining how physician arrogance is killing tens of thousands of patients across America today.

Holistically-trained doctors who went way beyond medical school and taught themselves principles of nutrition often describe their own conventional medical school training as wildly inadequate. Dr Andrew Weil, for example, famously describes his conventional medicine colleagues as “nutritionally illiterate.”

And he’s right. Most conventional doctors are nutritionally illiterate. So are most parents. And if we wish to change the health future of America, this situation obviously needs to change. Nutrition should be the foundation of med school training, not an afterthought.

You can’t create a healthy nation if the people practicing medicine don’t know much about health and nutrition themselves.

Disturbing trends in mental illness in America

An Institute of Medicine report was published in 1999 was authored byDr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and describes how the US health care system contributes to an epidemic of deaths.

But the article, which implies our medical care system is the third leading cause of death really understates the problems by miles.

This is because of a refusal to acknowledge that deaths from say cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes  which could be greatly lessened if our established medical care system took on the fast food industry as they did the tobacco industry. But why should they? Many more suffer from these ailments and the medical care system’s profits would plummet. Nearly 75% of Americans are now overweight or obese! These figures tell a disastrous story. Yet you wont find that very publicized in the major media. Those media thrives on billions of dollars of medical and pharmaceutical ads. They are not going to attack the hand that feeds them.

In any event here are the study’s key findings

DEATHS PER YEAR:

• 12,000 — unnecessary surgery
• 7,000 — medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 — other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 — infections in hospitals
• 106,000 — non-error, negative effects of drugs

These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes in 1999 and they are likely to be much more today.

What does iatrogenic mean? Created in a patient by a physician’s doings.

Dr. Starfield offers several warnings in looking at these numbers:

• First, most of the data are derived only from studies in hospitalized patients.
• Second, these estimates are for deaths only and do not include negative effects that are associated with disability or discomfort.
• Third, the estimates of death due to error are lower than those in the IOM report.

If the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000. In any case, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. Even if these figures are overestimated, there is a wide margin between these numbers of deaths and the next leading cause of death (cerebrovascular disease).

Another analysis concluded that between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients experience negative effects in outpatient settings,with:

• 116 million extra physician visits
• 77 million extra prescriptions
• 17 million emergency department visits
• 8 million hospitalizations
• 3 million long-term admissions
• 199,000 additional deaths
• $77 billion in extra costs

The high cost of the health care system is considered to be a deficit, but seems to be tolerated under the assumption that better health results from more expensive care.

However, evidence from a few studies indicates that as many as 20% to 30% of patients receive inappropriate care.

An estimated 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors.

This might be tolerated if it resulted in better health, but does it? Of 13 countries in a recent comparison, the United States ranks an average of 12th (second from the bottom) for 16 available health indicators. More specifically, the ranking of the US on several indicators was:

• 13th (last) for low-birth-weight percentages
• 13th for neonatal mortality and infant mortality overall
• 11th for postneonatal mortality
• 13th for years of potential life lost (excluding external causes)
• 11th for life expectancy at 1 year for females, 12th for males
• 10th for life expectancy at 15 years for females, 12th for males
• 10th for life expectancy at 40 years for females, 9th for males
• 7th for life expectancy at 65 years for females, 7th for males
• 3rd for life expectancy at 80 years for females, 3rd for males
• 10th for age-adjusted mortality

The poor performance of the US was recently confirmed by a World Health Organization study, which used different data and ranked the United States as 15th among 25 industrialized countries.

There is a perception that the American public “behaves badly” by smoking, drinking, and perpetrating violence.” However the data does not support this assertion.

• The proportion of females who smoke ranges from 14% in Japan to 41% in Denmark; in the United States, it is 24% (fifth best). For males, the range is from 26% in Sweden to 61% in Japan; it is 28% in the United States (third best).
• The US ranks fifth best for alcoholic beverage consumption.
• The US has relatively low consumption of animal fats (fifth lowest in men aged 55-64 years in 20 industrialized countries) and the third lowest mean cholesterol concentrations among men aged 50 to 70 years among 13 industrialized countries.

These estimates of death due to error are lower than those in a recent Institutes of Medicine report, and if the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000.

Even at the lower estimate of 225,000 deaths per year, this constitutes the third leading cause of death in the US, following heart disease and cancer.

Lack of technology is certainly not a contributing factor to the US’s low ranking.

• Among 29 countries, the United States is second only to Japan in the availability of magnetic resonance imaging units and computed tomography scanners per million population. 17
• Japan, however, ranks highest on health, whereas the US ranks among the lowest.
• It is possible that the high use of technology in Japan is limited to diagnostic technology not matched by high rates of treatment, whereas in the US, high use of diagnostic technology may be linked to more treatment.
• Supporting this possibility are data showing that the number of employees per bed (full-time equivalents) in the United States is highest among the countries ranked, whereas they are very low in Japan, far lower than can be accounted for by the common practice of having family members rather than hospital staff provide the amenities of hospital care.

Australia bans flu vaccines in children after vomiting, fevers, and seizures

The repeated claims by the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control have been that the flu vaccines are safe and necessary preventatives against dangerous bugs that are really what we should fear. But the facts belie this claim. The epidemic they scared people into believing would happen never did. Their costly remedy, untested, turn out to be highly dangerous, being filled with toxic ingredients like mercury. They have also engaged in a brutally callous campaign to distribute  these lethal and debilitating shots to millions – especially the most vulnerable – children, pregnant women and the aged -  in the process  of seeking to cash machines out of us while walk over mass coffin victims.

There have  been a few countries that have started to wake up and stand up to the vaccine chicanery and fraud by supposed health professionals – and one of them is Australia.

Australia bans flu vaccines in children after vomiting, fevers, seizure

Although it’s still summer in North America, it is of course winter in Australia, and the flu season is well under way there. As usual, Australian health authorities have been urging parents there to vaccinate their children against the flu, propagating the mythology that flu vaccines are both safe and effective. But this time around, many Australian parents found out the hard way that they were being lied to.

It didn’t take long to realize the truth after their children start going into convulsions following the flu vaccine injections. Other children began vomiting or exhibiting dangerously high levels of fever. One child has gone into a coma and may never recover.

As reported in WA Today (http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/f…)

“Perth mother of two Bea Flint said her 11-month-old boy Avery had a seizure after receiving the first dose of the two-dose flu vaccination on Saturday. Mrs Flint said that after the 9am vaccination she noticed Avery had a minor temperature about 2pm. At 7.45pm, Avery started whimpering and moaning. When Mrs Flint got to his cot the baby had vomited and was lying on his side having a seizure. ‘He couldn’t cry – his head was hanging down in the car seat and he couldn’t move. I was petrified – it was one of the worst experiences of my life.”

The story goes on to say, “The doctor who treated Avery told Mrs Flint her baby was the fifth child with similar symptoms admitted to the hospital that day.”

In other words, this was no rare event. Vaccinated children suffering severe convulsions were piling up in hospital emergency rooms across the country.

The real kicker, though, is that children started having convulsions two weeks ago but Australian health authorities ignored them, insisting that the vaccine was safe and causing it to be injected in yet more babies. Two weeks later, with dozens more children experiencing convulsions (and who knows how many thousands actually being harmed in less obvious ways), Commonwealth chief health officer Professor Jim Bishop finally announced the vaccination ban.

Remember: Health authorities in Australia, UK, the United States and everywhere else have relentlessly insisted that flu vaccines are perfectly safe and can’t possibly harm anyone. In the U.S., the FDA has given its approval to the very same flu vaccine that’s harming children in Australia, and the CDC has insisted that all children in the USA — regardless of age — should now be injected with this very same flu vaccine.

So now we’ve got a vaccine that Australia has banned but the USA somehow says is safe enough to inject into a six-month-old infant. How many convulsing babies will it take in the U.S. before American parents realize the truth about flu vaccines?

Chemically-induced convulsions

As you’re reading this, you may find yourself wonder, “Well, what could cause such convulsions in children?”

The answer is more terrifying than you might think, because it’s not “weakened flu viruses” that vaccine manufacturer claim they put into the vaccines. A weakened flu virus doesn’t send children into convulsions. Only a chemical can do that.

The chemical in question is one that’s routinely added to most vaccines as a way to aggravate the immune system to respond to the presence of the weakened virus. It’s called an “adjuvant” and consists of a highly inflammatory chemical that we now know may damage brain tissues and the nervous system. It is this adjuvant that most likely caused the convulsions in children.

Even in children who don’t experience convulsions, there is speculation that this adjuvant may lead to future Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorders. Vaccine manufacturers always attempt to downplay their use of adjuvant chemicals, and few media outlets focus on this important point, but it is the adjuvant that is most likely responsible for sending these Australian children into hospitals with convulsions.

Health authorities defend dangerous vaccine

One thing I’ve noticed about vaccine pushers is that they behave like irrational zealots. No matter how much evidence surfaces about the dangers of vaccines, they continue to mindlessly push them while ignoring the evidence.

A pediatric professor in Australia, Dr Peter Richmond, admitted that researchers were trying to figure out if the entire vaccine was dangerous, or if there was just a bad batch. But even before getting the answer to this question, he goes on to say that everybody over the age of five should go ahead and get injected with this same vaccine! (http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/f…)

In other words, he’s so convinced the vaccine is safe — even after dozens of children were obviously harmed by it — that he’s still pushing the same dangerous vaccine onto everybody else!

This is precisely the kind of attitude reflected across the vaccine industry. Reports of children being harmed, or paralyzed, or hospitalized by vaccines are always written off as “coincidence.” The mounting evidence is simply thrown out the window because it conflicts with the pro-vaccine agenda.

Can you imagine the outrage if an herbal product sent fifty kids to the hospital suffering from convulsions? Health authorities across the world would be quick to condemn the product, and they’d confiscate it right off the shelves while shutting down the operations of its manufacturer. But somehow when a vaccine does the same thing, these same health authorities urge people to keep on injecting their children with it!

It makes no sense. But then again, the vaccine industry was never based on rational thinking in the first place. If health authorities were truly rational, they’d be handing out vitamin D supplements to children instead of injecting them with vaccines, because vitamin D has been scientifically proven to provide better protection against the flu than vaccines. (http://www.naturalnews.com/029333_v…)

Of course, to ask health authorities to make rational decisions is sort of like asking politicians to start telling the truth. In the complicated world of profits and politics, rational, honest thinking just doesn’t get any traction. It’s far more profitable to keep lying to the world and raking in billions of dollars each year off dangerous vaccines, even as they continue to harm innocent children.

I often wonder… How many dead children will it take before parents wake up and realize that flu vaccines are dangerous? The answer may surprise you: Even a million dead children won’t change the minds of most parents because they just do whatever they’re told by health authorities, even if it makes no rational sense.

Most parents are so brainwashed by the medical system that they would gladly line up to have their babies injected with chemotherapy if they were told it was somehow necessary.

At some point, the parents whose babies are being harmed or potentially even killed by these vaccines can only blame themselves. They were the ones who brought their babies to be injected with a chemical adjuvant and viral fragments, and they should know better than to trust the government when it comes to health advice. The government, after all, still says that pharmaceutical chemicals are good for you while vitamins, herbs and natural remedies are dangerous. And it’s the government that approved the very vaccines that are right now sending these children to the hospital.

Any parent that trusts the government with the health of their child is setting themselves up for catastrophe. And that catastrophe could very well cost them the life of their child.
