DEADLY SPIN

I recently read a book titled DEADLY SPIN by Wendell Potter. This book reiterated a lot of what I thought to be true of many of the powerful industries in this country. Mind control is alive and real and large corporations often use it to benefit their bottom lines, profits. This book is an eye opening account of the type of methods large corporations use in order to sell their products, deceive the consumer and guide public opinion in their favor. The author was a high powered communications executive for two of the largest insurance companies on the planet. The things he describes in the book are deplorable. These large companies, including insurance, pharmaceutical, big oil, big agriculture, the military industrial complex and large tobacco to name a few. The lies and deceit used by these corporate giants to shape public opinion and lobby congress are unbelievable!!!!!!! My point in all of this is to be very careful of where you get your information, especially regarding health related topics. The mainstream media is bought and paid for by the large industries, therefore it is very unlikely that you will ever get the real stories about wrongdoings by these large corporations. You will most likely get very one sided accounts that benefit the major sponsors, while often times ignoring real facts. It is not in the best interest of the television networks, or magazines or newspapers to make their largest sponsors look bad.

A few examples from the book I thought were interesting were.....
BP commercials talking about how they are going green and looking for alternative fuel sources. The author claims this is total bullshit. Why on earth would a company making multi billion dollar profits from oil look to something else. He claims that BP spent 70 million dollars on their PR compaign to ease the blow on their image after the oil spill. Their image was a greater priority that the actual cleanup. He also claims that the major news networks are not telling the true story of the severity of the spill do to the fact BP is a huge sponsor for all for all of the major television networks.

He speaks on large corporations like Monsanto and pharmaceutical companies basically making up the laws set out by the FDA and USDA. These large government regulatory agencies are bought and paid for by the industry giants, giving them the power to write the laws that directly affect them. That is why the FDA continually green lights new drugs to market with little or no testing. He gives a good example of the VIOXX problem where 55,000 people died as a result of taking the drug before it was taken off the market. Drugs like these are often known to be extremely harmful but are put on the market anyway because there is no oversight whatsoever.

Monsanto and agencies like the USDA and FDA are revolving doors between them. This explains why our government continually passes insane laws that protect Monsanto but are detrimental to the entire worlds population ( like the current GMO debacle, and pesticide use that has proven to cause cancers)

These are just a few of the many examples of the corruption Potter points out in his book. It amazes me at the lengths these companies will go to for profits! Their greed is a sickness that threatens us all!


I often times will check a lot of these mainstream websites if I am in need of a good laugh. Going to the health section of MSN.com or Yahoo.com is hilarious! Anyone who has awoken to the truth about the medical industry can plainly tell that their sites are basically propaganda for the pharmaceutical companies. I read the Health section the other day in the Cleveland Plain dealer and laughed at how biased all of the information was towards drugs. The pharmaceutical companies ( along with the other large corporations) have completely hijacked the mainstream media. If you are looking for real news or actual facts concerning health, be aware of the websites' and/or TV channel's major sponsors. Watching television where literally 25 percent of all adds are paid for by the pharmaceutical companies, it is unlikely to get accurate information regarding health. Pharmaceutical companies do not make money on healthy people! Their job is to keep the public misinformed and uneducated about real health so they can continue to sell their poisons to unsuspecting customers. Wendell Potter, the author of Deadly Spin confirms all of this in his book. He was responsible for creating the misinformation and strategies to keep this corrupt and broken system in place. Next time you are reading the newspaper or browsing the Internet, be aware of the source of the information and keep an open mind about the true intent of the story.

MERCURY POISONING REVISITED

Below is an article from naturalnews.com. It speaks of the dangers of mercury poisoning and the devastating effects it has on our health. I was tested for heavy metals early on in my cancer treatments and tested positive for high levels of mercury and lead to name a few. I had a mouth full of metal fillings ( do not be deceived by the name silver fillings, they are 50 percent mercury) and was shot up full of vaccines containing thymirisol like most of us from my generation ( do your own research on vaccines and make your own decision as to vaccinate your child. If you believe your child needs to be shot up with mercury, aluminum, formaldahyde, cleaning agents and diseased animal tissue within a few days of birth so they do not get diseases that were mostly wiped out as a result of proper sanitation at least make an informed decision). I worked construction in the summers in college and was most likely exposed to some form of mercury through that as well. Throughout last year I saw over 30 children with autism, 10 to 20 cancer patients and a whole bunch of others who suffered from sypmptoms like fybromyalga, heart disease, shingles, arthritis, ALS, lupus, and just about every other chronic disease process on the planet. The common denominator being mercury and heavy metal poisoning. Every single person I talked to this summer who was receiving treatment had high levels of toxic metals, mercury usually being the main culprit. These people were from every age and every walk of life. The patients came from India, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Egypt and from every state in America. I asked many of the children's parents when did they start noticing the change. EVERY ONE I TALKED TO ACKNOWLEDGED THE CHANGE BEGAN WITHIN A FEW HOURS TO A FEW WEEKS AFTER BEING INNOCULATED!!!!!! It is a very interesting article and I believe every person who lives in the industrialized world and has been vaccinated should be informed of the dangers and seek some form of metal detox, chelation being the most successful means.



NaturalNews) This essay is about the work of Dr. Rashid Buttar, author of The 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor Away, who along with Dr. Boyd Haley, then chairman of the chemistry department of Kentucky University, had considerable influence over my early thoughts in terms of the chemistry of
mercury and the misery it measured in human terms. I actually worked in cooperation with Dr. Buttar in research and writings about The Rising Tide of Mercury that is occurring on our planet.

It is the inability to see the effects of chronic, low-level toxicities on human health that has been, and remains, our greatest failing as intelligent beings. Dr. Boyd Haley

People should not be happy to know that even in these six short years since I began my study of the exceptionally strong neurotoxin, mercury pollution has gotten disturbingly worse in the world, and we have reports from the United States to confirm that. Our failure as intelligent human beings is costing us stupendously in terms of enormous increases in chronic disease in children and adults alike.



Power plants in America emitted 134,365 pounds of mercury pollution in 2009, according to the new Environment America report, 'Dirty Energy's Assault on Our Health: Mercury.' The report found that power plants in just four states - Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia - are responsible for over 35 percent of all mercury pollution from power plants in the United States.

In the late 1990s the estimates for coal-fired plants stood closer to 50 tons or 100,000 pounds, so Americans have been living through a 30 percent increase in the past decade or so. Globally the count is worse because China alone has been putting on the electrical grid one new coal-fired plant after another. India also has been expanding its industrial base rapidly using much more coal.

At the same time we have some nightmarish reports about recent dramatic rises in the incidence of diabetes but of course no one is connecting the dots between increasing mercury exposure and the diabetes pandemic. The number of diabetics in the United States has grown to nearly 26 million, a 10 percent increase over 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in January 2010.

About five years ago I published an essay entitled 'The Hun Hordes of Mercury and Diabetes' but not many paid attention. In the case of diabetes, mercury is especially telling for it affects the beta cells, the insulin itself, and the insulin receptor sites setting off a myriad of complex disturbances in glucose metabolism.

Scaring everyone is a recent study that estimated one in three Americans will have diabetes if current trends continue. And of course one's chance of getting cancer, stroke or a heart attack increases when one is diabetic. The damage mercury is doing is well hidden and not openly discussed by doctors and dentists because they still use mercury themselves, pretending and living with the fantasy that they are doing no harm with it.

Mercury plays no part in sustaining human life. It is a dangerous and volatile heavy metal that can devastate every aspect of human physiology and even collapse the sulfur bonds in insulin. Signs of mercury poisoning include excessive peeling skin, discoloration, rapid heartbeat, muscle weakness and others. It has even been linked to the onset of autism in some cases. Mercury poisoning is highly treatable if caught in the early stages and I strongly recommend using the most natural and pure medicinals, starting with the purest water possible.

In 2009, 12 coyotes died on the beach across the length of the Padre Island National Seashore, and more likely died hidden among the dunes. Scientists at first attributed the die-off to a red algae bloom that caused toxins to build up in fish the coyotes ate. But necropsies revealed a surprise: the animals had mercury levels of 16 parts per million in their livers. Mercury toxicity eventually kills and this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the impact on the animal kingdom and the impact on our children and our own lives.

'I can now very comfortably and definitively state to you,' says Dr. Rashid Buttar, 'that, in my opinion, based on the evidence, every single chronic insidious disease process is related to one word: toxicity. You cannot address the issues of aging unless you address detoxification.' Dr. Buttar, board certified and a diplomate in preventive medicine and clinical metal toxicology, and vice-chairman of the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology, contends that he only recently (around 2004) arrived at this conclusion. 'Five years ago I wouldn't have said this, even a year ago I wouldn't have said it. But the more success we've had, the clearer it has become: All chronic disease is toxicity. You get rid of the toxicity and you put out the fire. You may need to rebuild afterward, but you must put the fire out. Conventional medicine is just covering your eyes so you don't see the fire.'


Dr. Boyd Haley believes that the CDC and the FDA are strongly influenced by the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries and that they have been derelict in their duty to safeguard the health of the American people. As a result of their delinquency, we have been systematically poisoned by mercury derived from silver amalgam fillings in our teeth, and our children, especially boys, have been severely damaged by vaccines containing thimerosal.

Dr. Rashid Buttar is well known for his work with the synthetic chelator TD-DMPS for children with autism as well as his cancer work with adults. His thoughts on the basic principles of managing and ridding our bodies of mercury burdens reach to people of all ages with numerous illnesses. With mercury being proven to be increasingly involved in disease processes, the need for chelation and detoxification becomes more and more clear every day. Below are his beliefs.

'Children diagnosed with autism or autism spectrum disorders suffer from acute mercury toxicity secondary to huge exposure while in utero (maternal amalgam load, dietary factors, maternal inoculations, Rhogam injections, etc.) and early on in life (vaccinations preserved with thimerosal, etc.). Adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's suffer from chronic, insidious mercury toxicity secondary to exposure over a long time (amalgam load, inhalation of mercury vapors, combustion of fossil fuels, dietary factors, etc.).By addressing and eliminating the mercury 'spark,' the secondary 'fires' become far easier to manage clinically and the improvements realized from treatment of the resulting imbalances become easier to maintain.

'The reason for some individuals to have severe damage from mercury where others do not have serious adverse neurological deficits is due to various factors that include biological individuality and genetic predisposition. In addition, factors such as the type of toxicity exposure the individual was exposed to makes an enormous difference. Was it inhaled, ingested, injected or exposed on their skin? What type of mercury exposure did the individual receive? Was it organic or inorganic mercury? If it was organic, was it ethyl mercury or methyl mercury? How frequent was the exposure to the source of toxicity? Was there a significant maternal load present prior to birth?

'Was the situation exacerbated by the mother being inoculated, or having Rhogam administration either during gestation or prior to conception? How many vaccine administrations took place and over what period of time? What about the diet? How about the proximity to industrial sites, and exposure to combustion of fossil fuel? As you can see, the variables are extensive. But the treatment is essentially the same. The only difference is the extent of continuity of treatment.

'The underlying common denominator in chronic neurodegenerative disease seems to be either decreasing vascular supply (less blood to the brain) or accumulation of heavy metals, specifically mercury.The inability of an individual to eliminate toxic metals, especially mercury, is directly related to the level of neurodegeneration experienced. In the young patient population suffering from autism or pervasive developmental delay, the vascular supply is not an issue. The underlying pathology of children with autism and the geriatric population with Alzheimer's is of the same etiology, specifically mercury toxicity. Both these patient populations suffer from the inability to excrete mercury as a result of a genetic predisposition resulting from the Apo E allele. This allele appears to be associated with the inability to get rid of mercury from the system. If these patient populations inhabited a complete mercury-free environment, they would not have the problems associated with autism or Alzheimer's.

When the mercury is successfully removed from their systems, these individuals begin to significantly improve due to a cessation of the destruction and denudation of the neurofibrils, as evidenced by steady improvement in cognitive function. Mercury is the 'spark' that causes the 'fires' of autism as well as many other neurodegenerative diseases including PDD, ADD, ADHD and Alzheimer's. Autism is the result of high mercury exposure early in life versus Alzheimer's where there is a chronic accumulation of mercury over a lifetime. A doctor can treat ALL the 'fires,' but until the 'spark' is removed, there is minimal hope of complete recovery with most realized improvements being transient at best.

'Mercury is the underlying common denominator of all the problems from which these children suffer due to impairment of their excretory pathways. And the only solution for these non-eliminators is to effectively remove the mercury while repairing and enhancing the damaged elimination and detoxification pathways. Concomitantly addressing the GI tract is vital if the goal of treatment is to achieve permanent recovery.

'Once the process of mercury removal has been effectively initiated, the source of damage is now curtailed and full recovery becomes possible. Complete recovery can now be attained and further enhanced by utilizing various additional essential therapies including nutrition.'

Physicians treat heavy metal toxicity in a number of ways that can be quite confusing. The field of detoxification and chelation is a strange one where wars are fought over whose method is better. My approach through Natural Allopathic Medicine is comprehensive, using basic substances like magnesium, iodine and sodium bicarbonate to support detoxification, chelation and healing. Magnesium Oil is both necessary in detoxification and protective against mercury damage in autism and diabetes.

I even use super nutritional substances like Rejuvenate whose backbone is made from chlorella and spirulina for there is nothing like it or better tasting to support overall cell physiology and recovery.

For those who are new to the concept that nutritional maximization has a lot to do with the removal of heavy metals we can look to mercury compromised children with autism. Traditionally there are several nutrients that children suffering from autism (mercury toxicity) are routinely lacking at the proper levels. They include calcium, zinc, vitamins C and E, varied amino acids, selenium, magnesium, taurine, and essential fatty acids.

It's hard to miss the changes that a dietary change will bring about in your child. Potentially, the severity of your child's behaviors can be reduced, and they may also improve in the area of social interaction if you feed them the rocket fuel provided by super concentrated nutritional substances.

But we do need to go after the heavy metals and especially mercury very specifically and pointedly. I will report on this more in my upcoming book Toxicity Syndrome, but for years I have been recommending HMD (Heavy Metal Detox) developed by Dr. George Georgiou in Europe along with the internal and external use of clay.

SMILE, IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!

A French physiologist Dr. Israel Waynbaum discovered that frowning triggers the secretion of the stress hormones cortisol, adrenaline, and nor-adrenaline, which are neurochemcials that inhibit the immune system, raise blood pressure, and increase susceptibility to anxiety and depression. Smiling, on the other hand, reduces secretion of stress hormones and raises the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good hormones, while simultaneously enhancing the function of the immune system by increasing T cell production.

NETI POTS FOR SINUS ISSUES!!!!!

Many of you out there have sinus issues which can make life more difficult than it needs to be. I have had stuffed up sinuses my entire life. When I was younger I went to see many different doctors and took every prescription known to man, yet none of them worked. I was turned onto the NETI POT a few weeks ago by Swamijohnna and my breathing and sinus issues are gone. If you are constantly stuffed up or have seasonal allergies, this may be for you. I went from being constantly congested with breathing difficulty to having completely clear sinuses in just a few minutes. It takes less than five minutes daily and works better than any prescription medication ever could, of course with no side effects. Below is the explanation from the Himalayan Institute on why and how the NETI POT works.




Why a Nasal Wash
The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that is one of our body's first lines of defense against disease. A nasal wash keeps this layer of mucus moist, clean and healthy. And compared to other nasal wash techniques, using the Neti Pot™ is easy. A nasal wash can be as routine as brushing your teeth.

Rinsing with saline solution is a time-honored practice in the Orient. Here in the West, the nasal wash has been used for decades as a means of treating sinus problems, colds, allergies, and post-nasal drip and to counteract the effect of environmental pollution. Those practicing yoga and other meditative disciplines use the nasal wash to ensure free air flow through both nostrils.

A Healthy Nose
Breathing through the nose filters and conditions the incoming air. The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that traps dirt, dust, and pollen and moves steadily to the rear of the nasal cavity and settles in the throat, where it is swallowed. Saline nasal rinses carry some of these impurities out of the body before they reach your stomach.

They also keep this protective layer of mucus functioning properly. If the mucus becomes too thick and dry or too thin and runny, it is easier for bacteria and viruses to penetrate the nasal lining and cause the swelling and excess discharge of mucus we call a “cold.” That’s why gargling or sniffing a little salt water at the first sign of a cold is a staple of folk medicine and why health-conscious people in India use a small pot of saline to rinse the nasal passages. The Neti Pot™ continues these time-tested traditions of hygiene.

Uses for the Nasal Wash
For some people, the nasal wash is as routine as brushing their teeth. Others use it for specific purposes. Suggestions:

Do the nasal wash to wake up, clear your nostrils, and start the day breathing freely.
Use it to remove excess mucus when you are experiencing nasal congestion.
Do it several times a day during the allergy season to rid the nostrils of pollen and other allergens.
Use the nasal wash when you’ve been exposed to soot, dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants.
Use it to dissolve mucus build-up in dry climates or in air-conditioned or heated rooms, or after air travel.
Do the nasal wash before practicing systematic relaxation techniques or meditation to help you breathe freely and easily through your nose.
Remember, the nasal wash is not a substitute for medical treatment. Anyone with chronic inflammation of the nasal passages or other ear, nose, or throat disorders should seek medical attention.

Five reasons why the Neti Pot™ makes sense

1.Soothes dry nasal passages
2.Gently washes away dust, pollen, and environmental irritants
3.Offsets the effects of breathing dry indoor air (especially in winter)
4.Removes excess mucus…naturally
5.Helps you breathe freer when practicing yoga or meditation

MORE INFO LINKING SODAS TO CANCER

(NaturalNews) The "caramel coloring" used to color all the top cola brands isn't natural caramel coloring at all. Instead, it's made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulfites at high temperatures. This reaction results in the formation of 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole, both of which are chemicals documented by the U.S. government to cause cancer in mammals.

This is all coming to light thanks to an effort by the CSPI, which has now filed a regulatory petition to ban these chemicals from colas (http://www.cspinet.org/new/20110216...).

The National Toxicology Program has conducted animal studies on these toxic chemicals found in colas, concluding there is "clear evidence" that 2-MI and 4-MI are animal carcinogens.

The call to ban these chemicals from use in foods was joined by five carcinogenesis experts who said, "The American public should not be exposed to any cancer risk whatsoever as a result of consuming such chemicals, especially when they serve a non-essential, cosmetic purpose." (http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/experts-...)

That letter explains:

4-methylimidazole (4-MI) causes lung tumors in male and female mice and mononuclear cell leukemia in female rats. Other NTP studies found that 2-methylimidazole caused liver tumors in male and female mice, thyroid tumors in male mice, and precancerous thyroid changes in female mice. In rats, 4-MI caused an increased rate of tumors in thyroid follicular cells in females and an increased rate of hyperplasia in thyroid follicular cells in males.

Even the term "caramel coloring" is extremely misleading to consumers, because most people think it's related to caramel candy, which is made by browning sugar under heat. But the "caramel coloring" used in colas is made by exposing sugars to industrial chemicals (ammonia and sulfites), resulting in a cocktail of cancer-causing chemicals.


Coke and Pepsi products may soon bear cancer warnings in California
California's Proposition 65 law limits the consumption of 4-MI to no more than 16 micrograms per day from a single product. Yet colas contain roughly 200 micrograms of 4-MI in a 20-ounce bottle.

That's over 12 times the allowable limit under Proposition 65, and that's in every bottle! Many people drink several bottles a day, further multiplying their exposure to this potential carcinogen.

If cola companies are going to continue to sell their products in California, then, they must now carry cancer warning labels in order to be in compliance with Prop 65. You can bet that a desperate effort is now under way by the cola industry to lobby California regulators and make sure 4-MI gets removed from any enforcement of Prop 65.

The cola industry wants everybody to think its products are wholesome and natural while forgetting about the health effects of phosphoric acid, aspartame and high-fructose corn syrup. Now, with 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole in the picture, there's yet another potentially cancer-causing chemical to worry about in colas.

Obviously, 2-MI and 4-MI can be avoided by drinking non-colored soft drinks, but those still contain phosphoric acid, high-fructose corn syrup, caffeine and even aspartame in diet sodas.

It turns out, there's no such thing as a perfectly safe soda. All sodas and soft drinks carry health risks related to their ingredients. I have no doubt that this era of diabetes, obesity and cancer we're living through right now is due in large part to the widespread consumption of sodas and soft drinks.

SOAPS BY JAN

As a friendly reminder, anything you rub onto your skin absorbs into the blood. These chemicals mix with the assortment of other toxins we absorb through every day life and cause serious health problems. I learned the hard way on this one! The big name products are often filled with the most harmful chemicals. Even the very expensive products are often very harmful. If you have any skin ailments stop using harmful chemical laiden products and switch to more natural, less harmful ones. Your skin and body will thank you for it.

A good friend of mine introduced me to some great all natural skin care products. I have been searching for soaps and lotions that contain no harmful ingredients and so far these are the best I have found. The products are completely natural and organic. Most of the ingredients are grown by the maker of the products. Check out the website below.
