20 Top Dangers to Children

Top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys; by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The mainstream media is amusingly irrational when it comes to reporting scare stories. The latest example involves the lead content of Mattel toys made in China. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a third recall of Mattel toys involving over 700,000 toys containing unacceptably high levels of lead paint (over .06 percent lead). Irrational parents are rushing back to retailers in droves, turning in their Mattel toys to "save their children" from the dangers of lead paint. Mattel, for its part, is being rightly blasted in the media for selling shoddy products made with toxic heavy metals. But here's the interesting part in all this: Parents directly poison their children every day with products far more dangerous than Mattel toys. Don't believe me? I'll name twenty things in this article that are far more dangerous to children than Mattel toys. It doesn't mean Mattel toys are safe, of course. They apparently do contain unacceptably high levels of lead, and there's no question about the toxicity of lead. But children don't eat toys nearly as often as they eat some other toxic substances given to them by their parents, and even as parents are herding back into retailers to refund their toxic lead-laden toys, they're returning home and poisoning their children with many other products that are far worse.The press, of course, reports nothing about these other toxic products. And why? Because they're made in America.
American products poisoning American childrenAmerican products, you see, are often given blanket immunity by the U.S. press. While the media is happy to jump on toxic lead found in Chinese products, they completely ignore (for example) the toxic mercury that dentists continue to place into the mouths of young children all across the country. Why is it considered highly dangerous for a child to merely touch a toy with .06 percent lead paint while it is considered perfectly safe for a child to chew on a filling made with 40 percent mercury? Mercury is far more toxic than lead in many ways, yet the media has nothing to say about the mass poisoning of children through the outmoded dental work still being performed on children today. Mercury fillings were invented before the Civil War, and they're just as toxic now as they were then! Of course, if dental fillings were made in China, the U.S. press would be screaming about their toxicity! But since they're installed by crazed U.S. dentists -- many of whom still manage to seem convincingly sane -- there's zero coverage in the mainstream media. Reporting the truth about dangerous chemicals, heavy metals and other threats to children is extremely selective. The public never hears the real truth about what's dangerous -- they only hear what the media want them to think is dangerous! But I've had it with popular media distortions. Here, I'm going to reveal the top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than the lead paint in Mattel toys. Interestingly, most of these are things that parents intentionally give their children (or feed to them!). If you're worried about lead paint, you should be far more worried about these 20 things...
The top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys 1. Mercury fillings often called "silver fillings" to hide the fact that they're made from mercury, these highly toxic fillings are placed directly into the mouths of children where they are inhaled (mercury vapor) and swallowed, causing systemic mercury poisoning to the child and leading to long-term neurological damage. Visit www.IAOMT.org and watch the "Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas" video to learn more. 2. VaccinesThink vaccines are safe? You've been hoodwinked by the popular media parroting drug company propaganda. Vaccines are preserved with methyl mercury, one of the most dangerous chemical forms of the toxic heavy metal. This mercury is injected directly into the bodies of children where it causes severe neurological damage. And yes, it does cause Autism, despite what you've read in the dumbed-down press. Only a fool would inject their child with mercury-preserved vaccines.3. Hot dogsHot dogs are made with horrifying processed meat parts (click here to see shocking photos of processed meat products, then preserved with a cancer-causing ingredient called sodium nitrite. As detailed in my book Grocery Warning, this ingredient causes brain tumors in children, not to mention leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and other cancers. Hot dogs are far more dangerous to a child's health than lead paint in my opinion, and yet parents keep feeding them to their children! 4. Antibacterial soap-How about a little nerve toxin in your soap? That's what's found in antibacterial soap. It's a toxic cocktail of chemicals designed to kill life. That's how it kills bacteria. The problem is that it also harms people -- especially infants and children who are trying to develop healthy nervous systems. Avoid all products claiming to be "antibacterial." You're better off using natural soap (like Dr. Bronner's soap, www.DrBronner.com ) and letting your child's immune system fight off common bacteria. The world isn't sterile, after all. You can't turn your house into a germ-free bubble.5. ADHD drugs Would you give your child street drugs like speed or meth? Probably not, but what if your doctor wrote you a prescription for speed and said your child needed it because he was ADHD? If you're like most parents, you'd fall in step and start giving your child speed. But wait, you say: ADHD drugs are not speed, are they? But of course they are. They belong to a class of drugs called amphetamines. They used to be illegally sold as speed. Now they're prescription drugs, and they're given to children in schools all across America (and elsewhere). Psychiatrists and drug companies are making a killing dosing up kids and infants on substances that used to be considered illegal street drugs (and that have no legitimate medical use whatsoever). 6. Sports drinksFor some reason, parents irrationally believe sports drinks are healthy because they contain the word "sports." Didn't they notice the neon green artificial coloring? Sports drinks are, in my opinion, a nutritional joke. Made from salt water, processed sweeteners and petrochemical coloring, many of their ingredients are actually harmful. Drinking water would be smarter, and feeding your child some healthy trace minerals would be even better. Low on potassium? Eat a banana.7. Cough syrup and over-the-counter medicines, nearly all children's over-the-counter medicines contain multiple toxic substances such as chemical sweeteners, preservatives and additives. Cough syrup, in particular, has been scientifically proven to be absolutely worthless in preventing coughs. Many "children's" medicines are actually more toxic than their adult counterparts because they're sweetened up and cosmetically enhanced with artificial colors made from petrochemicals. Yet parents poison their children every day with over-the-counter medicine. 8. Sunscreen, the sunscreen industry is a huge scam. Most popular sunscreen products actually cause skin cancer due to the numerous toxic chemicals they contain (which are quickly absorbed into the skin where they cause DNA mutations that lead to cancer). Even worse, sunscreen blocks the UV radiation that allows the skin to manufacture all-important vitamin D -- the most powerful anti-cancer nutrient yet known to modern science. It prevents over a dozen different cancers, yet parents block it by slathering toxic sunscreen on their children, all while mistakenly believing they're "protecting their children from cancer!" What a scam. 9. Fluoride in the waterI've always found it amazing that city water officials were dumb enough to actually buy a toxic waste substance and arrange to have it dripped into the public water supply where it would be ingested by infants and children. The result? Mass fluorosis and toxicity to children everywhere. Didn't these people realize that fluoride only works topically? (That is, it only works if you rub it on your teeth, then spit it out, and even that only works if you're using natural fluoride, not the chemicals spit out as by-products of the fertilizer industry, which is what city water departments are buying and dripping into the water supply.) Click here to see my CounterThink cartoon on this topic. Whoever heard of drinking a topical medication in the first place? It's like swallowing sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Even worse, putting this into the public water supply effectively mass medicates everyone with a bioactive chemical substance that no one has been given a prescription for. This is all done with no regard for the level of natural fluoride children might already be ingesting from other sources. The situation is so crazy that it's difficult to find a more insane example of medical tyranny than the mass fluoridation of public water supplies. The fact that doctors and dentists so vehemently support it demonstrates just how crazy they really are. 10. Processed milk, children as young as 10 years old are now being diagnosed with heart disease and clogged arteries. Ever wonder how it happened? It's due in part, I believe, to all the processed milk children are swallowing these days. Not only is the milk contaminated with pus, blood and detectable levels of pesticides and other chemicals, it's also homogenized, meaning the fats are artificially modified in a way that makes them stay in suspension. This homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to cardiovascular health. 11. Fast food, fast food is extremely unhealthy for children. Not only are the foods often fried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they're also laced with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars, petrochemical food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Strangely, many parents actually reward their children for good behavior by buying them unhealthy fast food meals, thereby creating a psychological association between good feelings and junk food. (Fast food restaurants further exploit this psychological link by building playgrounds and running feel-good advertisements that emphasize friends and fun, then link those good vibes to their food products.) 12. Antidepressant drugs, children as young as six months old are now being put on psychotropic drugs such as SSRIs (antidepressants). These drugs, we now know, cause suicidal thoughts and violent behavior, especially in young boys. They imbalance brain chemistry and even alter the body's metabolism of sugar, promoting diabetes and leading to rapid weight gain. These drugs are so dangerous that feeding them to children should be considered a crime. Every single school shooting involving a child in the United States in the last 15 years has been linked to antidepressant drug use. Need I say more? 13. Chemical laundry detergents, parents are shown fancy ads on television depicting how wonderful and clean their clothes will be if they wash them in brand-name laundry detergent. What they're not shown, however, is the toxicity of all the synthetic chemicals that go into most laundry detergent products. The fragrance chemicals alone are often carcinogenic, and they're just as bad for the environment as they are children's health. A new alternative has appeared, however: Soap berries! It's laundry soap that grows on trees. We offer it at www.BetterLifeGoods.com 14. Flame retardant chemicalsDid you know that new mattresses for infants and children are often sprayed with extremely toxic flame retardant chemicals? These are easily absorbed through the skin of infants and children where they contribute to numerous neurological disorders and immune suppression. Many clothing products are also sprayed with flame retardants, as are some carpeting products. In the push to make everything fireproof, state regulators (who have mandated the flame retardant chemicals in states like California) have created a toxic environment for everyone. I suppose if you're a politician, it's always better for a million people to die of a mysterious disease that can't be linked to you than to have one baby burning up on the evening news with fingers of blame pointed directly at you.15. SodaAside from directly promoting diabetes and obesity, sodas also contain high amounts of phosphoric acid, a substance that dissolves bones and causes a loss of bone mineral density. This causes massive tooth decay as well as a shrinking jaw bone and overall skeletal fragility. Diet sodas are even worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to neurological disorders and learning disabilities. 16. Air fresheners, air fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the house exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other respiratory problems. If you value the health of your children, avoid air freshener products and just use essential oils or citrus peels instead. (Peel an orange and hang the peel in your kitchen.) 17. Synthetic vitamins, many children's vitamins are made with cheap, synthetic "vitamin" chemicals that actually harm people who take them. Plus, many are loaded up with artificial colors, sucrose and chemical sweeteners. Avoid cheap, store-bought children's vitamins or anything containing cyanocobalamin (a toxic form of vitamin B12). Quality children's vitamins are available through sources like Nordic Naturals (fish oils) and www.IntegratedHealth.com (also check www.WellnessResources.com for high-quality supplements). 18. Dryer sheets, most popular dryer sheets and fabric softeners are made with toxic synthetic chemicals that are not safe to use on children's clothing. The fragrance chemicals alone are often highly carcinogenic, and the other chemicals contribute additional toxicity to the clothing. Children's clothes should never be washed or dried in chemicals. Only use natural detergents and fabric softeners, or avoid the fabric softeners altogether. 19. Bacon, most bacon and sausage are processed meat products made with sodium nitrite (like the hot dogs above) and contaminated with various chemicals lodged in the animal fats. Conventionally-raised beef, pork and chicken products are, in my opinion, extremely toxic to the human body and contribute to colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and many other diseases and disorders. If you make meat for your children, shop for 100% organic, free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no nitrites or nitrates. 20. Shampoo and bath productsVirtually all popular shampoo and bath products sold on the market contain cancer-causing chemicals. The ingredients read like a top-40 list of toxic chemicals. Virtually none of these chemicals have ever been tested or approved for use on humans (they are simply ignored because the FDA astonishingly believes the skin won't absorb chemicals). If you want healthy products, use the shampoo I recommend: Pure Essentials Fragrance-Free Shampoo from Earth Science (www.TheNewES.com)
Keeping your health priorities straightSo that's the list of 20 items that are more dangerous to the health of children than the lead paint in Mattel toys. Most parents have no concern whatsoever for any of these 20 things, but they're going ape-shoot-crazy over the tiny amounts of lead in their Barbie toys and Elmo stuffed animals. It all just goes to show you that the sheeple will think anything the mainstream media tells them to think (and they'll ignore everything else). It's classic American contradiction: Returning a Mattel toy at the local toy store while taking your child to a dentist to have mercury implanted in the cavities caused by all the soda the kid consumed at home (because the parents keep buying Coke and Pepsi). If it all weren't so downright tragic, it would almost be funny.

More Great Info on Sodium Bicarbonate, Cancer and other diseases

Over the last decade Dr. Ralph Moss, at the University of Arizona has been researching the use of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as a potential treatment for cancerous conditions. At the same time Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors. (Raghunand 2003) Using sodium bicarbonate in the treatment of a cancerous condition has been found to "enhance the anti-tumor activity" of other anticancer drugs. The alkalizing effects are very similar to the recently published research of injecting O2 directly into tumors where such direct administration of oxygen also facilitated the action of chemotherapy. This year the same researchers reported that sodium bicarbonate increases tumor pH (i.e., make it more alkaline) and also inhibits spontaneous metastases (Robey 2009). They also showed that oral sodium bicarbonate increased the pH of tumors and also reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mice with breast cancer. Oral administration of sodium bicarbonate also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement. Though Dr. Moss as well as Dr. Simoncini, an oncologist from Rome, Italy found it striking that the oral administration of bicarbonate was able to reduce the spontaneous formation of metastases in mice with breast cancer. Dr. Moss stated, “this is impressive work that needs to go forward.” Sodium bicarbonate has been used for decades in chemotherapy but until the last few years baking soda has received little attention. Now, because of the work of Dr. Moss, Dr. Simoncini and Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of the pH Miracle Living Center and founder of the New Biology(R), there are over 50,000 web sites with information on this subject.There is little dispute that cancer is an ACIDIC condition which can be measured in terms of tumor pH. Previous research the precedes Dr. Moss or Dr. Simoncini, Dr. Young has found that cancerous tissues are significantly more acidic than normal tissues and that manipulation of pH with oral and/or intravenous sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate can have help to restore healthy tissue and reverse a cancerous condition. In 1932, Dr. Warburg received a Nobel prize for discovering the cause of cancer. He determined that cancerous cells and tissues were acidic cells and tissues and low in oxygen. According to Dr. Young, "when alkalinity increases the supply of hydroxyl ions or oxygen to the cancerous tissue, the increase in hydroxyl ions or oxygen combines with the excessive hydrogen ions in and around the cancerous cells or tissues, creating water and neutralizing the acid which was the original cause of the cellular or tissue breakdown. Simply put, dietary and/or metabo lic acid is the cause of all cancerous cells and tissues. "Sodium bicarbonate is the universal mainstream treatment of acidosis and is used every day by oncologists to neutralize the heavy acidic nature of their chemo agents, which can be quit toxic. It is also used routinely in many clinical situations:1) Severe diabetic ketoacidosis 12) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation 23) Pregnancy 34) Hemodialysis 45) Peritoneal dialysis 56) Pharmacological toxicosis 67) Hepatopathy 78) Vascular surgery operations 8 Medics and emergency medical doctors are use to participating in a flurry of activity when trying to save a persons live who's had a cardiac arrest -- inserting IVs, placing a breathing tube, performing defibrillation to restart the heart. Sodium bicarbonate is a constant performer under such conditions and is more commonly used then magnesium injections, which is traditionally on top of every doctor’s protocol for cardiac arrest. Mainstream oncologists recognize the routine involvement of late stage infections, Dr. Young refers to as outfections in all cancerous conditions. Medical savants also recognize that bacteria, yeast and mold is present in over forty percent of all cancerous conditions. 9 The most recent research in this area demonstrates how even viruses, which Dr. Young describes as crystallized acid, is present in fifty percent of certain types of cancerous conditions. 10 Dr. Young has written over 15 books in over 18 different languages on the subject of acid giving rise to biological transformation of cells or the birth of bacteria, yeast and mold in all dis-ease or so-called disease cellular or tissue conditions. This would also include late stage outfections which are the result of an over-acid internal environment.According to Dr. Young there is a simple definition of cancer - ACID. Anyone who has seen a cancerous tissue will admit that cancer is a rot that is breaking down the body and will destroy it left unchecked. When the body is rotting, when its cells and tissues are demonstrating dire distress, when certain colonies of cells become acidic and rotten and change their type of metabolism from respiration to fermentation, when dietary and metabolic acids are not properly removed through the four channels of elimination, including urination, respiration, defecation and perspiration then you will have a certain over-acidic condition that will eventually take shape and form depending on where the acid is deposited. Dietary and/or metabolic acid which are not properly eliminated are generally deposited in the colloidal connective and fatty tissues. The body deposits acids into the tissue in order to preserve the delicate pH balance of the blood at 7.365. This is why there is such an in crease in breast, brain and prostate cancers. No matter where you would like to drop your concepts and numerous names for different kinds of cancerous conditions it should be obvious that - like any type of rotting cells and tissues - bacteria, yeast and mold is a result of rotting cells and tissues and NOT THE CAUSE! Dr. Young states, "bacteria, yeast/fungi, and mold are not the cause of a cancerous condition but are the result and the evidence of cells and tissues biologically transforming from a healthy state and to a unhealthy state." Dr. Young intelligently observed that, "over acidification of the body leads to the development of chronic yeast and fungal outfections and ultimately a cancerous condition of the cells and tissues.” Cancer is, fundamentally, a relatively simple over-acid condition of the blood and then tissues that leads to an oxygen deficiency dis-ease. The use of sodium bicarbonateincreases hydroxyl ions or oxygen that buffers dietary and/or metabolic acids preventing the rotting or fermentation of cells and tissues and thus prevents and/or reverses a cancerous condition. One is not likely to fall into a cancerous condition if one’s blood and tissues are in the perfect alkaline state of 7.365. To achieve this perfect alkaline state free from all sickness and dis-esase one must have alkaline nutritional sufficiency, including full alkaline hydration, ingesting liberal amounts of green foods rich in chlorophyll to build healthy blood and tissues and plenty of healthy alkalizing sun exposure. Add plenty of restful sleep, alkalizing exercise, relaxed conflict free existence and a pristine alkaline environment (something that no longer exists on our planet). One must also include freedom from dental amalgam, antibiotics, steroids/hormones, recreational drugs and vaccines to achieve extraordinary health and a cancerous free existence. Cancer is easy to define because it defines modern man. Humanity is in deep acidic trouble with cancerous conditionfor we are in deep acidic trouble with ourselves and our civilization.There are no real medical precedents to draw on when it comes to the use of sodium bicarbonate; sodium bicarbonate is that useful, safe and effective for ALL sickness and dis-ease. But it seems that much of the medical debate over its use has more to do with illogical thought processes than reality. That is at least what sociologists are finding or saying in the public debate about universal health care. People often work backward from a firm conclusion to find supporting facts, rather than letting evidence inform their views.A totally rational person would lay out - and evaluate objectively - the pros and cons of sodium bicarbonate and its use in a cancerous protocol but even the best professionals get attached to their own beliefs and egos. We form emotional attachments that get us wrapped up in our personal identity and sense of medicine and health irrespective of the facts of the matter making our theories more potent than pragmatic answers. Just about everyone is vulnerable to the phenomenon of holding onto beliefs even in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary. It is a challenge to reevaluate world views and medical belief systems but you have to do it to continue to be of service to humanity. Humanity depends on very few of us to offer the latest and the best information. Our egos do get in the way though, and some doctors are known for their great egos. No matter what your ego says, the world of dietary and metabolic acids and all the problems they bring are important in medicine and only irresponsible practitioners will ignore their existence in the cause of ALL sickness and dis-ease. Sodium bicarbonate’s action dramatically reestablishes the intracellular alkaline environment and this is wonderful when conditions are over-acidic causing sickness and dis-ease. The action of sodium bicarbonate is, for all intent and purpose, instant and effective in preventing and reversing a cancerous condition in a very short time. Many clients are able to reverse their cancerous condition in 12 to 16 weeks and some in 6 to 9 months. In the end sodium bicarbonate is not a healthy alternative or substitute for Dr. Young's pH Miracle alkaline diet including pure hydroxyl ion rich alkaline water. Sodium bicarbonate - that simple white stuff called baking soda can be purchased in any supermarket in the world and is a world class anti-bacterial and anti-fungal with no negative side-effects. If you need to punch a late stage outfection of any kind in the face use sodium bicarbonate. If you want to eliminate bacteria, yeast or mold colonies in the blood or tissues baking soda should be your number one choice. Dr. Young suggests, "sodium bicarbonate can be used like a fire extinguisher spraying the tissues with alkalinity and preventing or reversing latent tissue acidosis. It can be used orally and/or transdermally to reach all parts of the body through systemic effect via the blood." Medical researchers such as Dr. Simoncine and Dr. Young have identified the alkaline substances uniquely able to penetrate the volumetric acidic cancerous tissues, such as sodium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate and calcium bicarbonate. These elements are manufactured in the body to prevent acidic build-up and to maintain the alkaline design of the body. When are body is perfectly alkaline we are healthy, strong and happy.Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium bicarbonate, when used in conjunction with other equally safe substances, can form the basis for a natural chemotherapy, which has proven to be more effective then vastly more toxic acidic interventions. Everyone knows in their gut the horrors that await those who travel down the chemo, surgery and radiation road. Why travel down these pits to hell when safer, vastly more inexpensive, natural and potentially highly effective answers like sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium bicarbonate are there for the taking? Special Note: I suggest using a combination of four powerful cell salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium bicarbonate. Special Recommendation: I also suggest sodium and potassium bicarbonate use for anyone undergoing cardiac angiography, CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to protect their kidneys. Medical imaging has soared over the last few years across all types of these tests. Doctors have long known exposure to contrast agents can cause damage in seemingly healthy kidneys. The Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology warns that kidney damage injury can arise after undergoing certain common medical imaging procedures is a serious health threat. A meta-analysis of 17 randomised controlled trials has shown that pre-procedural treatment with sodium bicarbonate based hydration is the best strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). 11 Many medical imaging techniques, including cardiac angiography and CT scans, often involve the use of contrast agents, substances that contain iopamidol, iodixanol and barium with their own toxic downside. Dr. Solomon found that 31 percent of the research subjects experienced negative health effects after their imaging test. Overall 13 percent of the patients experienced a major event, such as death, stroke, heart attack, or end-stage renal disease. Those who developed contrast-induced kidney injuries had twice as many long-term negative health effects compared with patients who didn't suffer kidney damage. No doubt much of this harm can be avoided if sodium bicarbonate is used appropriately.

Pack your children nutritional lunches

Parents who pack toxic acidic ham or salami sandwiches in their kids’ lunch boxes may be raising their risk of a cancerous condition, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. Convincing evidence shows that processed acidic meats full of nitrates and nitrites, which include not only ham and salami but also hot dogs and bacon, raise the risk of a cancerous bowel, the organization says. "Instead of processed toxic acidic meats, cheese, poultry, and fish, Parents should choose alkaline green electron rich fruit and vegetables and low acidic grains, like buckwheat, quinoa or millet," according to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center. In fact, Dr. Young recommends that children eliminate all animal proteins from their diet because they help form unhealthy acidic habits. "Ham and salami sandwiches could give children habits that increase their risk of developing a cancerous condition later in life. The acids in meat which include uric, sulfuric, phosphoric and nitric acid can cause cancer if not buffered and then eliminated from the body," states Dr. Young. “If children have processed meat in their lunch every day, then over the course of a school year, they will be eating quite a lot of it,” said Marni Craze, children's education manager for the organization. "It is better if children learn to view processed meat as an occasional treat if it is eaten at all.”Ham and high-calorie snacks might seem like a convenient option, "particularly for parents who do not have a lot of time to prepare their child’s lunchbox,” Craze said. But packed lunches are a part of a child’s diet that is relatively easy to control and it does not have to take too much time or effort to prepare a healthy alkaline lunch with lots of alkalizing fruit and veggies. “For example, putting some salad into a sandwich will count towards the five portions of fruit and vegetables children should be eating every day,” she said. “And a small fruit juice instead of a fizzy drink will also give a portion. "Dr. Young recommends limiting total protein intake to no more than 20 grams a day with the ideal protein intake around 5 grams a day. Dr. Young also suggests that the protein ingested should always come from plant sources like hemp seed, broccoli and avocado and never from animal sources. Dr. Young states, "eating animal protein will not only constipate the bowel but will destroy the delicate root system of the small intestine - the intestinal villi - setting the stage for diabetes and potentially a cancerous colon.

Defend Against Disease with Broccoli

by Sheryl Walters, citizen journalis (NaturalNews)
Broccoli is a member of the cauliflower family or a Brassica. It is a diverse super food that is delicious when steamed or can be finely chopped and sprinkled on food for added nutrition. Juicing is a great way to get the most out of this amazing food. By drinking broccoli juice daily, we can prevent disease and transform our health. Broccoli juice contains high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin B, fiber, zinc, folic acid, magnesium, iron and beta-carotene (an important antioxidant). It is a potent immune system booster which can help to counteract diseases such as cancer, stomach ulcers and infection. Broccoli juice offers a whole array of amazing benefits that help us to enjoy optimum health. It contains glucoraphanin that converts into sulphoraphane, a powerful anticancer agent. It contains isothyocyanate, the chemical that activates our natural cancer inhibiting genes. The sprouted seeds and the broccoli juice help to fight prostate cancer. It contains compounds that help to detox the liver from cancer causing toxins.With high levels of selenium and fiber, the juice of Broccoli offers protection from stomach and bowel cancer.Broccoli juice contains compounds that protect cells from ultraviolet light. It helps to increase the production of protective enzymes that protect cells against different aspects of UV damage by working inside the cells. It helps in prevention of skin cancer. Glucoraphanin present in the broccoli juice promotes antioxidant defenses in the body that help lower blood pressure and harmful inflammation in the heart and arteries. The phytochemical sulforaphane helps the body defend against H. pylori, a bacteria that causes gastrointestinal problems. Thus, it helps to prevent stomach ulcers and painful bloating. Broccoli juice contains fibers which help to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal GI tract. It reduces cholesterol levels in the blood. Calcium present in the Broccoli juice promotes healthy bones and helps to burn fat. It decreases the production of cortisol, which is a stress hormone, relating to food cravings and stomach fat.Other Benefits of Broccoli:*Contains folic acid that is needed for the normal growth of the tissue. This is good for pregnant woman.*Helps to get relief from cold symptoms, since it contains Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.*Assists the body in absorbing iron.*It helps to prevent osteoporosis, since it contains large amount of calcium. By combining Broccoli juice and its various nutritional benefits with other super food juices, we can even create greater radiance and disease free health. Celery, cucumbers, ginger and kale are some of the healthiest foods for juicing. A little carrot and apple can naturally sweeten the juice, making it more palatable and enjoyable.

"UPDATE" after 12 chemo treatments, week 15

It has been a busy week! My son, that I refer to as the "health nut" has been visiting from Florida since last Friday morning. He and his wife, Denise, got here in time to accompany me to the 11th chemo treatment. I am blessed that both of my sons feel the need to be with me during these trying times. What they haven't grasped is that the treatment itself is uneventful and I do well through it, but perhaps it is due to their love and devotion! (Thank you boys--I love you)! I did not have time to do an update after that treatment, for we also had weekend guest from Steve's family and did a large "seafood boil" for many family members that Saturday. In between prep and clean up work and visitation, I still made it to work outs at the health spa. The lymphedema of my right arm seemed more swollen than what it had been, and my right shoulder was really sore, so I wore the lymphedema sleeve a little more often than I had been. I was fitted twice for this sleeve which is similar to a leg "Ted hose", but it still causes deep creases at my wrist and rolls down from the top of the arm---creating a tourniquet effect. I know that this can cause blood clots, so I would take it off and on through the day and evening. By Saturday night, my whole right arm was much more swollen and even more sore. The lumps on my right side and back of neck felt more pronounced than they have been in awhile, causing swelling of the right side of my face, twitching of my right eye and numbness above the ear and back of head. The lumps on the right upper side of the chest felt bumpier as-well, with some of the old familiar intermittent burning. Needless to say, I was becoming concerned/okay--worried and somewhat depressed! I have not felt the "tired side effect from chemo, until this past week. I did keep up with my health regimen as usual--with a few extra wheatgrass juicings, and I was getting my exercise, rest, and sunshine, so what was going wrong? I have to admit, I did have a little of the sweets served at my dinner party, along with the seafood--that I rarely partake in anymore. The lymphatic massage therapist that I saw Tuesday, agreed with me that I probably injured it working out---while wearing the sleeve that was obviously doing more harm than good, along with just having a busy weekend using my arm more than normal. It is upsetting to me that something alittle above normal could cause such a back up of my lymphatic system!!! After the "massage", which is not of the typical kind-- she pulsates the many lymphatic ducts to encourage the flow of lymph fluids;- miraculously--all the lumps decreased in size, but the right arm was still swollen. Me--being disciplined/(okay--stubborn) worked out after her session, and Wednesday---but without the sleeve. Low and behold---my right shoulder and deltoid area hurt like hell Tuesday and Wednesday night, with more facial swelling. I am since taking my younger son's advice---David--who had been a personal trainer for a few years, and giving it a rest for a couple of days, then just cardio for a week. (Role reversal again--I have to listen to my kids --or be scolded)! The mental part of this last week has been trying for me, as I said---not being able to function as I once was use to- without repercussions pissed me off! The scare of the increased size of the lumps and swelling, the tiredness, and the pain in my right arm rendered me to using naproxsyn again. The demon "fear" was paying me frequent visits. I had to reprimand myself several times and remind myself that I am still alive and mostly feeling well and healthy, I can still take care of myself, and have all the many blessings of love and family. I did all my prayers and gratitudes many times over, then just turned it over to God --again---not allowing it to burden my mind anymore.
I had my 12th chemotherapy treatment today, with a son by my side. My labs this week, just like last week were great: Wbc= 8.0, H&H 12/35, platelets=408, ANC= 6,752 ! By the afternoon, I was feeling back to "my normal". No more tiredness, all lumps and swelling are down, and no discomfort! PRAYERS, GRATITUDE, NUTRITION, WHEATGRASS, EXERCISE, SUNSHINE, REST, LOTS OF H2O, LOVE and FAITH! By the way; tomarrow is my 55th birthday, and my best gift from God is to spend it with those that have made my life worthwhile and give me reason to continue to fight, I find my strenght in their love!!!

Don't Inject Me - Swine Flu Vaccine Song and Music Video Released by the Health Ranger, Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
We've just launched the latest song and music video in the Beyond All Reason album. It's an anti-vaccine song entitled Don't Inject Me (the Swine Flu Vaccine Song), and it's already making waves on YouTube and peer-to-peer file sharing networks. You can hear the song and watch the music video at this page on NaturalNews: http://www.naturalnews.com/Dont_Inj...
The 320k MP3 music file and music video are also being openly distributed in a DRM-free format on the popular peer-to-peer file site Mininova.org: http://www.mininova.org/user/natura...

I wrote Don't Inject Me to get the message out about the potential dangers of the coming swine flu vaccination campaign that's about to be forced upon expectant mothers and schoolchildren all across the world. From a purely medical perspective, the swine flu vaccine is a complete joke: It hasn't been tested on anyone for long-term safety, it hasn't been shown to reduce H1N1 swine flu fatalities by any amount at all, and it is altogether likely to be obsolete within a few weeks anyway due to the rapid mutation of the H1N1 influenza strain.
This doesn't even mention the potential harm that might be caused by the use of chemical adjuvants (squalene) that are feared might promote neurological disorders in those victims receiving the vaccine. Read this article to learn what you probably didn't know about the Swine Flu vaccine: http://www.naturalnews.com/026717_s...
And yet, despite the complete lack of scientific validity supporting the vaccine, the medical community is charging ahead with vaccines full force, blindly pushing the world into a scenario that might actually be worse than the pandemic itself. The last time a swine flu vaccine was widely distributed in the U.S., it ended up harming far more people than the influenza it was trying to prevent. That was in 1976. Today, more than thirty years later, the vaccine business is far more lucrative, and drug companies operate with blanket immunity, further reducing any incentive for safety or quality control by vaccine manufacturers.
On my Don't Inject Me page, I go into far more detail on these topics in an audio commentary you can listen to through your web browser. I also link to a radio show archive file, just aired last week, where I reveal the dangers of the swine flu vaccine while providing details on natural remedies that can help protect you from both the swine flu infection and swine flu vaccines.
Don't Inject Me is the third track on my album Beyond All Reason, which also features the popular hip-hop songs I Want My Bailout Money (http://www.naturalnews.com/I_Want_M...) and S.S.R.Lies (http://www.naturalnews.com/SSRIs_S_...). All the songs on the album address important issues of our time, offering commentary that favors freedom and responsibility over government intervention and consumer victimization.
Please enjoy Don't Inject Me and feel free to share it with friends, post it on your website, play it on your radio show or use it in any other non-commercial way that supports the cause of public education.
It's emblazoned across the front page of USA Today, just underneath a subhead declaring Michael Jackson was, indeed, killed by a drug overdose: "Flu could infect half of USA." The article goes on to describe the predicted number of deaths expected in the U.S. (30,000 - 90,000 Americans) as well as the actions being taken by the government to protect Americans from the coming swine flu pandemic.
That advice reads sort of like a comic book of health care advice for kindergarteners: Wash your hands, cover your mouth if you cough and let "the grownups" take care of the rest by injecting you with a vaccine. Curiously absent from all the health advice being handed out on the swine flu by the White House, the CDC, the WHO and even the FDA is any mention of Vitamin D or other natural remedies that offer enormous protections from influenza infections.
The absence of this information from virtually all the advice being handed out to the American public is increasingly suspicious. If a pandemic flu is, indeed, threatening to infect half the U.S. population, and if most of the population is deficient in a nutrient known to strongly prevent influenza infections, wouldn't it make good sense to make a few announcements encouraging Americans to raise their vitamin D levels throughout the coming winter?
It is a well-known medical fact, of course, that influenza always gets worse during the winter months North of the equator and the summer months South of the equator (which are really called their "winter" months). This is because as sunlight hours lessen during the winter, the people living there become vitamin D deficient and are susceptible to influenza infections of all kinds.

Seven Best and Seven Worst Foods for Health and Longevity

by Dr. Fuhrman/ www.drfuhrman.com
Because food has the power to heal, my patients often ask me for my top list of healthy food – the anti-oxidant foods, heart healthy foods, and nutritious foods that are central to the Eat To Live program. These high nutrient foods, consumed regularly, will contribute to your health and longevity. What you eat -- now and when you were growing up -- dramatically affects the state of your health. The effect is cumulative, influencing everything from the amount of energy you have (or lack), to your emotional state, medical condition, and ultimately longevity
Top Seven Foods for Good Health and Longevity
Black raspberries
Strawberries
Blueberries
Flax Seeds
Green Leafy Vegetables
Tomatoes
Broccoli sprouts
The healthy and nutritious foods are high antioxidant foods, primarily fruits and vegetables. I selected these healthy foods because they contain the most powerful phytochemicals and anthocyanins which illustrate strong inhibition of chemocarcinogens.
Other foods with high antioxidant and high anti-cancer potential include walnuts, sunflower seeds, pomegranates, beets, cabbage, peppers, and parsley. Make your diet strongly cancer-protective and longevity-favorable by including these highly beneficial, nutritious foods.
A good way to think about nutritious food: Produce is the most important health care your money can buy.
Food also has the potential to harm, and these are effective foods for those attempting to die younger. One of my daughters calls this list the Seven Foods of Death.
Worst Seven Foods for Health and Longevity
Butter
Cheese
Potato Chips and French Fries
Doughnuts
Salt
Sausage, hot dogs
Pickled, smoked or barbequed meat
Foods high in saturated fat and trans fat are consistently associated with high cancer rates. Cheese and butter typically contain over ten times as much saturated fat as fish and white meat chicken and turkey.

Salt has been consistently linked to stomach cancer and stroke, even in populations that eat diets low in saturated fat.
Add the carcinogenic potential from heated and overcooked oils (usually trans containing) delivered in doughnuts and fries with the powerful cancer inducing properties of carbohydrates cooked at high heat (acrylamide formation) and you have a great cancer potion.
Needless to say, I advise people to avoid the foods on my “worst list” entirely.
The best foods to eat are the healthy, nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. By making these antioxidant foods the major portion of your diet, you can protect yourself against cancer and other serious diseases. As you extend your youthful vigor into later years, you have contributed to your longevity by Eating to Live with a healthy, nutritious diet.

Another Look at Bicarbonate Treatment For Cancer

Simoncini's Bicarbonate Treatment For Cancer /The Moss Report from www.cancerdecisions.com
There is a doctor in Italy, Tullio Simoncini, MD, who has roiled the waters of oncology by claiming that all cancers are actually outbreaks of fungal disease. He has written a book to this effect, Cancer Is A Fungus, and also produced Web sites and online videos expounding his theories. His work is discussed at almost 50,000 Web sites. Basically, Simoncini's main claims are as follows:
1) Cancer is actually an opportunistic fungal infection of the common form of yeast, Candida albicans.
2) Tumors are therefore not composed of human cells, but are invasive colonies of Candida albicans.
3) One proof of this is that cancer is invariably white in color, since Candida is also white (the word "albicans" itself means "white body".)
4) Cancer can be successfully treated with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), one of the least expensive products in the entire pharmacopoeia.
For many people, the Simoncini controversy is in essence a battle between conventional and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and they take sides accordingly. Simoncini casts himself as a heroic opponent and victim of Big Pharma. The "quackbusters," who also abound on the Internet, use various weaknesses in Simoncini's argument to make sweeping attacks against what they call "s-CAM." Simoncini lost his medical license in Italy in 2003 and in 2006 was convicted of manslaughter, due to the death of a cancer patient. This of course led to an increase in the acrimony around the whole concept of the bicarbonate treatment of cancer.
My own feeling is that Simoncini is fundamentally wrong in most of his theories. However, as I shall show, there may be some merit, at least potentially, in the use of bicarbonate as a cancer treatment.
As to the theory of cancer's origins, there are major deficiencies. Let us take Simoncini's claim that cancer is always white in appearance. What then about the skin cancer known as malignant melanoma?
This is anything but white. In fact, the name melanoma means a tumor containing dark pigment. If we follow Simoncini's logic, either melanomas are not cancers, or else all cancers are not white. Yet melanomas are real cancers and can be deadly. They will afflict over 68,000 Americans this year and kill 8,650.
If we look at the more common cancers, many of them are indeed white in their interior portions. But so too are many other parts of the body that are not connected to cancer (bones, nails, some people's skin, etc.) So being white is not proof of being cancerous.
More importantly, one can easily demonstrate that cancers are NOT fungi but are human cells gone awry. The two kinds of cells are dramatically different, not just in their appearance but in their genetic makeup (genome). Candida albicans is a unicellular member of the Saccharomycetaceae family. It is present in a harmless form in 80 percent of human beings, although under certain pathological conditions can become the source of various diseases (such as "thrush").
Starting in October 1996, the genome of C. abicans has been sequenced at the Stanford DNA Sequencing and Technology Center and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University. The entire diploid genome sequence of Candida alibicans was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2004 and is available online.
The DNA of a fungus is, of course, radically different from that of a human being. Yet, to my knowledge, every study of the DNA of cancer cells (and there are thousands) points to their human origin. If they were of fungal origin, wouldn't this be immediately evident to every competent pathologist in the world?
Bicarbonate Treatment?
For these, and other reasons I do not believe that Simoncini's basic theory of cancer's origins has merit. However, this faulty theory needs to be sharply delineated from his proposed treatment, which is the application of a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), particularly to the site of the tumor. After all, it is possible that his Candida theory could be all wrong and yet his proposed treatment could be effective. Or, as E.K. Sander wrote, in reference to a different medical controversy, "Therapy results add notoriously little to resolution of competing theories, since they too are capable of diverse explanations" (Sander 1975).
The theory that cancer is acidic, and can be combated with some sort of antacid solution, is not original to this Italian doctor. It is a very old idea. In 17th century Germany, according to James Ewing, MD in Neoplastic Diseases, "Chemical conceptions [of cancer, ed.] held sway, and cancer was attributed usually to excess of acid, to be treated with alkalai" (Ewing 1942). This, says Ewing, was the theory of J.B. Van Helmont (1579-1644) and Michael Ettmüller (1644-1683).
It is a common observation, and in no way limited to the work of Simoncini, that tumors tend to exist and thrive in an acidic environment. One of the key reasons for this is the so-called "Warburg effect," i.e., the production of lactic acid by cells breaking down glucose through glycolysis. Prof. Ian Tannock and his colleagues at the University of Toronto have written: "Solid tumors have been observed to develop an acidic extracellular environment." This "is believed to occur as a result of lactic acid accumulation produced during aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis." However, these authors also point out that lactic acid production is "not the only mechanism responsible for the development of an acidic environment within solid tumors" (Newell 1993). Another mechanism might be the poor perfusion of blood around tumors (Robey 2009).
For more than a decade there has been very interesting work going on at the University of Arizona, using bicarbonate as a potential treatment for cancer. Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors. This "enhances the anti-tumor activity" of two anticancer drugs, doxorubicin and mitoxantrone, in two different mouse tumor models (Raghunand 2003).
In March 2009, the same group reported that bicarbonate increases tumor pH (i.e., make it more alkaline) and also inhibits spontaneous metastases (Robey 2009). An acidic pH has been shown to stimulate tumor cell invasion and metastasis in animal models. The question was whether inhibition of tumor acidity would reduce the incidence of metastases. The authors showed that oral sodium bicarbonate increased the pH of tumors and also reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mice with breast cancer. It also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement, yet it did not affect the levels of circulating tumor cells (Robey 2009).
At various Simoncini proponent Web sites, however, this is already being hailed as a confirmation of the Italian doctor's theories. But, as I have shown, Simoncini did not originate the theory that cancer is acidic in nature, nor the very old idea of using alkaline substances in its treatment. So I don't think he can claim this work now, nor does it give sanction for patients to abandon potentially more effective treatments in order to seek sodium bicarbonate injections under what could be dangerous conditions. There is no comparison, for instance, between this poorly documented treatment and the much better founded CAM treatments (such as hyperthermia) given at the best German clinics.
That said, it is striking that in these Arizona experiments, the oral administration of bicarbonate was able to reduce the spontaneous formation of metastases in mice with breast cancer. This is impressive work that needs to go forward. However, it does a disservice to patients to identify these important scientific findings with the unsubstantiated theories of Dr. Simoncini regarding the supposed fungal nature of cancer.

Juice your way to Health

(NaturalNews) Some mornings on my way to work, I drop by the local Jamba Juice store a block from my office and down 16 ounces of carrot juice and four ounces each of wheatgrass juice and a green tea energy drink. I drink this cocktail for overall health and vitality. The wheatgrass is full of vitamin K and amino acids, the carrot juice is packed with beta-carotene, and the green tea gives me a boost of caffeine and antioxidants to get my day started.
However, this is not a story about general health maintenance. It is about "targeted" juices that have predictable and rapid therapeutic effects on specific health conditions. Let's start with a very common problem: high blood pressure.
Celery Juice Lowers Blood Pressure
When you think about lowering blood pressure, celery probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But this crunchy vegetable deserves some serious attention. Loaded with potassium and magnesium, celery contains something even more important: 3-n-butyl-phthalide, a compound that relaxes the smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls, allowing the arteries to dilate and effectively lowering blood pressure.
One of the physicians at Whitaker Wellness decided to put celery to the test. Every day for a month, she and her father juiced and drank one bunch of celery, mixed with a little orange juice for flavor (it's somewhat bitter on its own). Her father's systolic blood pressure went from 148 to 128 and hers went from 120 to 105. Imagine results this dramatic without dangerous prescription drugs!
Another great juice for people with hypertension is Low-Sodium V8 Juice. It works on two fronts to lower blood pressure. First, it contains a particularly high dose of potassium (840 mg per eight ounces) that helps keep blood pressure in check. Second, according to a study recently published in JAMA, it is an effective blood thinner, which further contributes to its antihypertensive effects. For Ted, one of my longtime patients, simply drinking 12 ounces of Low-Sodium V8 Juice daily was enough to keep his blood pressure in the normal range.
Cabbage Juice Heals the Stomach
Roman statesman Cato the Elder wrote more than 2,000 years ago that, as a digestive aid, "Cabbage surpasses all vegetables." One reason is its high content of glutamine, an amino acid that serves as a primary fuel for the rapidly dividing cells of the GI mucosa. Multiple studies support cabbage's reputation as a therapy for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, especially ulcers, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In one of them, cabbage juice healed peptic and duodenal ulcers in an incredible 92 percent of cases studied!
One person who swears by cabbage juice is a patient we'll call Betty, who was recently at the clinic. Betty was plagued with inflammation of the stomach lining and severe acid reflux. Her conventional doctor tried her on all the usual drugs, but nothing alleviated her pain or reduced the frequency of her episodes-until she came across an article on cabbage juice and decided to give it a shot.
Now whenever Betty has a flare-up, she drinks the juice from half a head of cabbage (yielding approximately four ounces of pleasant-tasting, slightly sweet juice) five times a day for about three days, in addition to copious amounts of water. This three day-regimen keeps her problem-free for eight or nine months-and I'll bet if she drank it religiously, she wouldn't have any problems at all.
Sauerkraut has also been touted for its ability to heal the stomach. In addition to the healthful compounds found in cabbage, this fermented food and its juice are also an excellent source of beneficial bacteria that nurture the GI tract. Eldon, a Health & Healing subscriber, eats it right from the jar to quell heartburn.
Cherry Juice Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Cherries make a mean pie, but a pain reliever? In recent years, cherries have been discovered to contain potent natural anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins and other flavonoids that work on the same inflammation pathways as aspirin and NSAIDs to reduce pain. In fact, researchers from Michigan State University found that just 10 tart cherries pack the same pain-relieving punch as one or two aspirin-and offer a wallop of antioxidants to boot.
Cherries have also been shown to reduce gout. Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid, which crystallizes in the joints and causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation. In a study conducted at the University of California Davis, eating eight ounces of cherries significantly reduced levels of plasma urate, a marker of uric acid. Cherries also produced small but notable decreases in markers of inflammation.
Francis, a friend of mine, squelches the gout pain in his big toe by eating cherries. And J. Otto Garry, a subscriber from Tamarac, Florida, has had great success treating his arthritis with cherry juice. He drinks three ounces in the morning and another three ounces in the evening to reduce and prevent inflammation. He also includes cod liver oil in his juice and takes alfalfa tablets along with it, which add to its anti-inflammatory value.
Cranberry Juice for UTIs
Everybody knows that cranberry juice can prevent and treat urinary tract infections(UTIs), but have you ever wondered why? Cranberries contain a combination of anthocyanins (the phytonutrient that gives both cranberries and cherries their rich color) and a unique sugar called mannose. Together, these compounds are responsible for thwarting UTIs by making it impossible for bacteria to cling to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract.
Ann, a subscriber I met at a Subscriber Seminar a while back, told me she used to have frequent UTIs until she started keeping a bottle of unsweetened cranberry juice in her fridge. Now when she feels a flare-up coming on, she drinks a glass or two daily for a few days, and she never gets infections anymore. Judicious Juicing
As a general rule of thumb, I don't recommend drinking a lot of fruit juice as it is loaded with sugar and calories. However, the juices listed above boast too many healing properties to ignore. Judicious juicing offers an easy way to drink to your health and naturally knock out many pressing health concerns. Bottoms up!
Recommendations:
*Some of the juices discussed here are already prepared. Look for Low-Sodium V8 in your grocery store. (Do not substitute regular V8; it contains way too much sodium. If your store doesn't carry it, ask them to order it for you.) You can find unsweetened cranberry and cherry juice at your local health food store. Cherry juice is also available from King Orchards, (877) 937-5464, mi-cherries.com.
*You're going to have to make your own cabbage and celery juice-and you can make your own cranberry and cherry juice from fresh or frozen cranberries and pitted cherries, if you'd like. There are many quality juicers available in department and specialty stores. Look for one that suits your lifestyle and specific needs.
*Suggested doses, taken daily or as needed, are as follows: celery juice from one bunch; cabbage, 4 ounces from one-half head, two to five times a day; sauerkraut, one cup (if you're going to do this regularly, you're better off with cabbage juice because sauerkraut contains a lot of sodium); unsweetened cherry juice, one-half to one cup; unsweetened cranberry juice, one-half to one cup. (If any of these juices are too tart, dilute with water and add a little stevia or xylitol to sweeten.)

More on the Swine Flu Vaccine

(NaturalNews) A warning letter about the swine flu vaccine was leaked to the DailyMail over the weekend. Written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the Health Protection Agency's Immunization Department, it warns neurologists that the influenza vaccine of 1976 was linked to a devastating neurological condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). "The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use," says the July 29 letter.
GBS can cause paralysis and death. One woman mentioned in the DailyMail story -- Hilary Wilkinson -- was stricken with GBS and had to be fed through a drip while needing a tracheotomy just to breathe. It took her three months in the hospital to learn how to walk and talk again. On the topic of the swine flu vaccine, she says today, "It makes me feel wary that the Government is rolling out this vaccine without any clear idea of the GBS risk, if any. I wouldn't wish it on anyone... I'm frightened to have the swine flu vaccine if this might happen again -- it's a frightening illness and I think more research needs to be done on the effect of the vaccine."
An 800 percent increase in GBS risk
A second letter has also surfaced with a warning about the swine flu vaccine. It's from the Association of British Neurologists and is authored by Dr. Rustam Al-Shahi Salman and Professor Patrick Chinnery. It says "Following the 1976 program of vaccination against swine influenza in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS."
Adding to the concern, Dr. Tom Jefferson from the Cochrane Collaboration is on the record saying "New vaccines never behave in the way you expect them to. It may be that there is a link to GBS, which is certainly not something I would wish on anybody. But it could end up being anything because one of the additives in one of the vaccines is a substance called squalene, and none of the studies we've extracted have any research on it at all."
In other words, what we really have with the swine flu vaccine is an untested, potentially dangerous cocktail of chemicals and viral fragments that could plausibly be linked to a devastating neurological condition.
These doctors and scientists are warning about the possibility of dangerous neurological side effects precisely because the government is failing to do so. Governments and pharmaceutical companies don't want the People to know about any of the risks associated with the vaccine, so they don't talk about them. Nor do they reveal the rather startling fact that the vaccine has never been tested on children or expectant mothers even though those are the two primary groups being targeted for the vaccine.
Vaccines = Modern medical quackery
Even today, most doctors in both the U.S. and U.K. insist there is no link between the 1976 vaccine and GBS. They say there's "no convincing evidence" that the vaccine caused GBS. It's the same story with vaccines and autism. Instead of examining the real reasons why autism's rise almost perfectly mirrors the rise in childhood vaccinations, doctors simply dismiss any such link outright, without consideration.
Vaccines are the bedrock of the pharmaceutical industry's profit centers. Through vaccines, the drug companies can ensure generations of future profits from diseases that are promoted or worsened by vaccines: Alzheimer's, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and so on. They can also, importantly, prevent people from taking responsibility for their own immune system health.
The vaccine approach to disease prevention implies that health cannot be experienced from within and must be achieved solely through intervention that just happens to involve paying money to drug companies. It is in this way that the real harm of vaccinations isn't limited merely to those people who are paralyzed or killed by the vaccines... it also includes all those people who have been taught to delegate their immune system function to a corporation pushing dangerous chemicals for profit.
To question vaccines is to question the very foundation of western medicine, which paints people as victims requiring heroic intervention with synthetic chemicals (but only the ones that have been patented). The real harm in this medical philosophy is not merely all those people who are harmed or killed by the vaccines themselves, but in how many people are dis-empowered and taught to abandon any hope that their own bodies might be able to attain health through innate physiological wisdom.
In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has taught people to betray who they really are. They have convinced people that they are inferior biological beings who can only arise to greatness through chemical intervention. It is all a myth, of course, carefully weaved into the minds of the unaware through layer upon layer of cleverly crafted propaganda.
Its aim is to leave you nutritionally ignorant, victimized and helplessly addicted to a never-ending stream of chemical interventions justified by the invention of (mostly) fictitious diseases. That is the state of western medicine today.
Healthy people need no swine flu vaccine, nor seasonal flu shots. Ten years ago (or so), when I stopped getting flu shots and stopped allowing junk foods and pharmaceuticals into my body, my colds virtually ceased. For me today, getting sick is an ancient memory. Although I've experienced mild symptoms from time to time (usually after being in an immune-compromised state such as working too hard at a trade show), they're nothing that can't be cured by an hour of sunshine, a cup of ginger tea and a good night's rest. I haven't been floored by a cold or flu for longer than I can remember.
Swine flu is easily overcome through natural health. H1N1 is no match for a healthy, adaptable immune system that's largely free from toxic chemicals and is boosted with the intake of superfoods, herbal remedies and quality nutritional supplements.>

The Swine Flu Vaccine Kills!

By Dr. Robert Young; www.phmiracleliving.com. The acidic poisonous Swine flu vaccine has been linked to a killer nerve disease. A leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America. A warning that the new swine flu vaccine is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter. The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.
It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the Swine Flu vaccine. "GBS is an acidic condition that ferments the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal." states Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, in San Diego, California. The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications. It refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:
* More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
* 500 cases of GBS were detected.
* The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
* The vaccine was withdrawn after just 10 weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
* The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.
Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown. It is being developed by pharmaceutical companies and will be given to about 13 million people during the first wave of immunization, expected to start in October. Top priority will be given to everyone aged six months to 65 with an underlying health problem, pregnant women and health professionals. The British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU), part of the British Association of Neurologists, has been asked to monitor closely any cases of GBS as the vaccine is rolled out. One senior neurologist said last night: 'I would not have the swine flu vaccome because of the GBS risk.' "I am concerned that there could be a repeat of what became known as the '1976 debacle' in the US, where the swine flu vaccine killed 25 people - more than the virus itself," stated Dr. Young. A mass vaccination was given the go-ahead by President Gerald Ford because scientists believed that the swine flu strain was similar to the one responsible for the 1918-19 pandemic, which killed half a million Americans and 20 million people worldwide. Within days, the acidic symptoms of GBS were reported among those who had been immunized and 25 people died from respiratory failure after severe paralysis. One in 80,000 people expressed this acidic condition. In contrast, just one person died of the so-called swine flu. More than 40 million Americans had received the vaccine by the time the programm was stopped after ten weeks. The US Government paid out millions of dollars in compensation to those affected. The so-called swine flu virus in the new vaccine is a slightly different strain from the 1976 virus, but the possibility of an increased incidence of GBS remains a concern. Shadow health spokesman Mike Penning said last night: 'The last thing we want is secret letters handed around experts within the NHS. We need a vaccine but we also need to know about potential risks. 'Our job is to make sure that the public knows what's going on. Why is the Government not being open about this? It's also very worrying if GPs, who will be administering the vaccine, aren't being warned.' Two letters were posted together to neurologists advising them of the concerns. The first, dated July 29, was written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPA's Immunization Department. It says: 'The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use. 'GBS has been identified as a condition needing enhanced surveillance when the swine flu vaccines are rolled out. 'Reporting every case of GBS irrespective of vaccination or disease history is essential for conducting robust epidemiological analysis capable of identifying whether there is an increased risk of GBS in defined time periods after vaccination, or after influenza itself, compared with the background risk.'
The second letter, dated July 27, is from the Association of British Neurologists and is written by Dr Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, chair of its surveillance unit, and Professor Patrick Chinnery, chair of its clinical research committee. It says: 'Traditionally, the BNSU has monitored rare diseases for long periods of time. However, the swine influenza (H1N1) pandemic has overtaken us and we need every member's involvement with a new BNSU survey of Guillain-Barre Syndrome that will start on August 1 and run for approximately nine months. 'Following the 1976 program of vaccination against swine influenza in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS. 'Active prospective ascertainment of every case of GBS in the UK is required. Please tell BNSU about every case. 'You will have seen Press coverage describing the Government's concern about releasing a vaccine of unknown safety.' If there are signs of a rise in GBS after the vaccination program begins, the Government could decide to halt it.
"GBS is an acidic condition brought on from acidic vaccines that destroys the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively," states Dr. Young. It can cause partial paralysis and mostly affects the hands and feet. In serious cases, patients need to be kept on a ventilator, but it can be fatal. "Death is caused by acids that lead to paralysis of the respiratory system, causing the victim to suffocate," states Dr. Young. The HPA said it was part of the Government's pandemic plan to monitor GBS cases in the event of a mass vaccination campaign, regardless of the strain of flu involved. But vaccine experts warned that the letters proved the program was a 'guinea-pig trial'. Dr Tom Jefferson, co-ordinator of the vaccines section of the influential Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that reviews research, said: 'New vaccines never behave in the way you expect them to. It may be that there is a link to GBS, which is certainly not something I would wish on anybody. 'But it could end up being anything because one of the additives in one of the vaccines is a substance called squalene, and none of the studies we've extracted have any research on it at all.' He said squalene, a naturally occurring enzyme, could potentially cause so-far-undiscovered side effects. Jackie Fletcher, founder of vaccine support group Jabs, said: 'The Government would not be anticipating this if they didn't think there was a connection. What we've got is a massive guinea-pig trial.' Professor Chinnery said: 'During the last swine flu pandemic, it was observed that there was an increased frequency of cases of GBS. No one knows whether it was the virus or the vaccine that caused this. 'The purpose of the survey is for us to assess rapidly whether there is an increase in the frequency of GBS when the vaccine is released in the UK. It also increases consultants' awareness of the condition. "Is the emotional acidic Panic over? The number of swine flu cases has fallen sharply in the past week," states Dr. Young. "I COULDN''T EAT OR SPEAK... IT WAS HORRENDOUS," said
Hilary Wilkinson, a victim of the Swine Flu vaccine. When Hilary Wilkinson woke up with muscle weakness in her left arm and difficulty breathing, doctors initially put it down to a stroke. But within hours, she was on a ventilator in intensive care after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. She spent three months in hospital and had to learn how to talk and walk again. But at times, when she was being fed through a drip and needed a tracheotomy just to breathe, she doubted whether she would survive. The mother of two, 57, from Maryport, Cumbria, had been in good health until she developed a chest infection in March 2006. She gradually became so weak she could not walk downstairs. Doctors did not diagnose Guillain-Barre until her condition worsened in hospital and tests showed her reflexes slowing down. It is impossible for doctors to know how she contracted the disorder, although it is thought to be linked to some infections. Mrs Wilkinson said: 'It was very scary. I couldn't eat and I couldn't speak. My arms and feet had no strength and breathing was hard. I was treated with immunoglobulin, which are proteins found in blood, to stop damage to my nerves. After ten days, I still couldn't speak and had to mime to nurses or my family. 'It was absolutely horrendous and I had no idea whether I would get through it. You reach very dark moments at such times and wonder how long it can last. But I'm a very determined person and I had lots of support.'
After three weeks, she was transferred to a neurological ward, where she had an MRI scan and nerve tests to assess the extent of the damage. Still unable to speak and in a wheelchair, Mrs Wilkinson eventually began grueling physiotherapy to improve her muscle strength and movement but it was exhausting and painful. Three years later, she is almost fully recovered. She can now walk for several miles at a time, has been abroad and carries out voluntary work for a GBS Support Group helpline.
She said: 'It makes me feel wary that the Government is rolling out this vaccine without any clear idea of the GBS risk, if any. I wouldn't wish it on anyone and it certainly changed my life. 'I'm frightened to have the swine flu vaccine if this might happen again - it's a frightening illness and I think more research needs to be done on the effect of the vaccine.'

According to Dr. Young, "the flu is the body's way of removing excess environmental, metabolic and/or dietary acid out through the four channels of elimination - the bowels, the urinary system, the skin and the lungs. The most important fact to understand are the symptoms of the flu are not the disease but the body's attempt to re-establish the alkaline design of the body. This is where true immunity is found - in alkalinity - not in poisoning the body with an acidic vaccine. To prevent or reverse the symptoms of the so-called swine flu one must simply alkalize the body with alkaline water, food and supplements. An alkaline lifestyle and diet will buffer and eliminate the acidic waste products responsible for causing the flu-like symptoms. The beauty of this approach is the side-effects are good health."

Recognize Toxic Chemicals in Body Care Products

Recognize Toxic Chemicals in Body Care Products/by Joe Hartley, NaturalNews
A common belief among consumers is that products labeled "natural" must be safe and beneficial to consume or use. Often the ingredient lists on these "natural" products contain chemicals that are unrecognizable and unfamiliar to most people. The bad news is that the products that are labeled as "natural" by manufacturers are usually far from natural and safe. The good news is that it is possible to be an informed consumer with the information necessary to avoid these products. Learning about these toxic chemicals is the first step toward avoiding them and this is quite simple to do, using the Internet as a tool.Almost every synthetic chemical that exists has a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that contains the facts about the chemical as well as any potential dangers associated with human health. The MSDS lists a summary of the facts for each chemical and summarizes other facts such as hazard identification, first aid instructions, exposure limits, and other names that are associated with the specific chemical. It can be very surprising to read MSDS information for "natural" chemicals and find information warning of dangers associated with these chemicals. One can't help but wonder how and why these chemicals can be labeled as natural under these conditions.The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) has stipulated that a MSDS must be created for any chemicals that are considered hazardous according to criteria described in the Hazard Communication Standard. All hazardous chemicals must be indexed and an MSDS must be published for each of them. An enlightening exercise for any consumer who is concerned about toxic chemicals is to perform a Google search for specific ingredients contained in his/her personal care products. Entering the specific chemical name along with "MSDS" in the search field will return MSDS results for the specific chemicals searched for. Another resource for researching specific ingredients is www.hazard.com/msds.Within this website are three search options: 1.Search by manufacturer 2.Search by name of chemical 3.Search the Chemical Toxicity Database Chemicals to Avoid in Personal Care Products: Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA, triethanolamine, MEA -- Used as a shampoo thickener and foam stabilizer. According to the MSDS for Cocoamide DEA, this chemical is harmful if swallowed or inhaled and contact with skin, eyes, and clothing should be avoided. Propylene glycol, propylene oxide, polyethylene glycol -- Listed on the FDA government website as a known carcinogen. This is a common ingredient in many moisturizers and lotions. It has also been connected with kidney and liver damage in scientific testing. Propylene glycol has also now been connected with common skin rashes and skin damage. Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate -- A common ingredient in shampoos and liquid soaps. SLS may be the most dangerous ingredient used in personal care products. SLS is the active ingredient in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers and industrial strength soaps. This is a very corrosive chemical used to clean industrial and greasy surfaces. Sodium Fluoride -- The fluoride that is added to drinking water is hydrofluoric acid. This is a compound of fluorine, which is actually a chemical by-product of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and other assorted ingredients. Fluoride in this form has no nutritional value and is one of the most caustic industrial chemicals. Fluoride is also an active ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons. Mineral Oil, Petrolatum and Coal Tar -- Used in many moisturizing products. Mineral oil is a petroleum by-product that interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins. Because of this it promotes acne and other skin disorders. Mineral oil has also been associated with premature aging. Any product that contains mineral oil may be contaminated with cancer causing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.Consumers who are armed with accurate information about toxic ingredients contained in common personal care products will be able to make informed decisions that will protect their health.

The Runsfeld Aspartame Plague

(NaturalNews) The aspartame horror began in 1981 due to Donald Rumsfeld, as head of the G.D. Searle pharmaceutical company, when he used his political clout to put a known carcinogen on the market to poison a nation all in the name of money. In a Washington Post article of December 12, 2001 about Donald Rumsfeld, there was a one liner that was so incredibly relevant. That sentence was:"He could be swilling Diet Coke with the secure knowledge that if not for his turnaround of Big Pharma giant G.D.Searle & Co. and successful touting of the sweetener aspartame, the beverage would not be possible". If Donald Rumsfeld had never been born think of how many millions of people the world over would not suffer headaches and dizziness. Thousands blind from the free methyl alcohol in aspartame would have sight, and there would be much fewer cases of optic neuritis and macular degeneration. Millions suffering seizures would live normal lives and wouldn`t be taking anti-seizure medication that won`t work because aspartame interacts with drugs and vaccines. Think of the runner, Flo Jo, who drank Diet Coke and died of a grand mal seizure. She, no doubt, would still be alive. Brain fog and memory loss, skyrocketing symptoms of aspartame disease, would not be epidemic. Millions suffer insomnia because of the depletion of serotonin. Think of Heath Ledger. He took that horrible drug, Ambian CR for sleep, which makes your optic nerve and face swell and gives you horrible headaches. Plus, he drank Diet Coke and took other drugs and died of polypharmacy. Since aspartame has been proven to be a multi potential carcinogen, would Farrah Fawcett still be alive? Consider the constant plague of fallen athletes. Aspartame triggers an irregular heart rhythm and interacts with all cardiac medication. It damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden death. Thousands of athletes have fallen. Epidemiological studies should be done on MS and lupus because of their link to aspartame use. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from aspartame induced multiple sclerosis and lupus, and if not warned in time could lose their lives as many have. Hospice nurses have reported Alzheimer`s disease in 30 year olds as it skyrockets from Rumsfeld`s plague. As the phenylalanine in aspartame deletes serotonin, it triggers all kinds of psychiatric and behavioral problems. The mental hospitals are full of patients who are nothing but aspartame victims. If Donald Rumsfeld had never been born, the revoked petition for approval of aspartame would have been signed by FDA commissioner Jere Goyan and the mental hospitals would house probably 50% less victims. If aspartame had not been approved, Lou Gehrig`s Disease, Parkinson`s and other neuro-degenerative diseases would not be knocking off the public in record numbers. Aspartame interacts with L-dopa and other Parkinson drugs. Parcopa has aspartame in it and the pharmaceutical company refuses to remove it. One has to take a deep breath when you think how heartless it is that there is not even a warning for pregnant women. Aspartame triggers every kind of birth defect from autism and Tourettes` Syndrome to cleft palate. Aspartame is an abortifacient (a drug that induces abortion). As an example, out of 9 pregnancies, 8 were lost and the one that survived is schizophrenic. Multiply that all over the world due to Rumsfeld`s Plague. ADD and ADHD would be rare instead of rampant. It`s normal for young girls to look forward to marriage and children. Yet, many sip on diet soda or use aspartame products not realizing that aspartame is an endocrine disrupting agent, stimulating prolactin, which is a pituitary hormone that stimulates milk production at childbirth, changes the menstrual flow and causes infertility. Many go through life never knowing why they couldn`t have children. Aspartame even destroys marriages because it causes male sexual dysfunction and ruins female response. Aspartame causes every type of blood disorder from a low blood platelet count to leukemia. Because aspartame can precipitate diabetes the disease is epidemic. To make matters worse, it can simulate and aggravate diabetic retinopathy and neuopathy, destroy the optic nerve, cause diabetics to go into convulsions and interact with insulin. Diabetics lose limbs from the free methyl alcohol; professional organizations like the American Diabetes Association push and defend this poison because they take money from the manufactures. How many millions would not have diabetes if Rumsfeld had never been born?Aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/E951/Candere/Benevia, etc) and MSG, another one of Ajinomoto`s horrors, are responsible for the epidemic of obesity the world over. Why? Because aspartame makes you crave carbohydrates and causes great toxicity to the liver.http:/www.mpwhi.com/ aspartame makes you fatter. The FDA report lists 92 symptoms from unconsciousness and coma to shortness of breath and shock. Medical texts list even more: "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic", www.sunsetpress.com by H.J. Roberts, M.D., and "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills" by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., www.russellblaylockmd.com. There is simply no end to the horrors triggered by this literal addictive, excitoneurotoxic, genetically engineered carcinogenic drug. This chemical poison is so deadly that Dr. Bill Deagle, www.nutrimedical.com , a noted Virologist once said it was worse than depleted uranium because it is found everywhere in food. The formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA according to the Trocho Study done in Barcelona in 1998. Even with this devastating study showing how serious a chemical poison aspartame is, the FDA has turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to it. With Monsanto attorney Michael Taylor now appointed as Deputy Commissioner to the FDA by Obama, it`s nothing more than Monsanto`s Washington Branch Office. Even before the Ramazzini Studies showing aspartame to be a multi-potential carcinogen, the FDA knew it. Their own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, even admitted that it violated the Delaney Amendment because of the brain tumors and brain cancer. Therefore, no allowable daily intake ever should have been able to be established. Aspartame caused all types of tumors from mammary, uterine, ovarian, pancreatic and thyroid to testicular and pituitary. Dr. Alemany, who did the Trocho Study, commented that aspartame could kill 200 million people. When you damage DNA you can destroy humanity. Dr. James Bowen told the FDA over 20 years ago that aspartame is mass poisoning the American public and likewise in more than 70 countries of the world. No wonder it`s called "Rumsfeld`s Plague". Big Pharma knows all about aspartame and they add it to drugs, including the ones used to treat the problems caused by aspartame. Big Pharma has made America a fascist government. People are so sick from aspartame and yet they keep selling these dangerous pharmaceuticals at outrageous prices. Dr. H.J. Roberts said in one of his books that you have to consider aspartame with killing children. We are talking about a drug that changes brain chemistry. Today children are medicated instead of educated. Death and disability is what Donald Rumsfeld has heaped on consumers just to make money. Think of the death of Charles Fleming who used to drink about 10 diet sodas a day. Then he used creatine on top of this, which interacts, and is considered the actual cause of death. Yet his wife, Diane Fleming, remains in a prison in Virginia convicted of his death, despite being the very one who tried to get her husband to stop using these dangerous products containing aspartame in the first place. The list never ends. At least six American Airlines` pilots, who were heavy users of aspartame, have died with one in flight drinking a Diet Coke. When American Airlines was written about removing aspartame they said, "leave the flying to us". Pilots too are sick and dying on aspartame, and when you fly your life is in the hands of the pilot. There was a case with a Delta pilot that died from esophageal cancer and had a history of consuming huge quantities of diet sodas. This was brought to the attention of the Delta management that refused the pilot`s wife`s request to alert other pilots.Then there`s the Persian Gulf where diet sodas sat on pallets daily in temperatures in the 100 to 120 degree range for as long as 9 weeks at a time before the soldiers drank them all day long. Remember, aspartame converts to formaldehyde at 86 degrees; it interacts with vaccines and damages the mitochondria or life of the cell, and the whole molecule breaks down to a brain tumor agent. There`s a book out there called, "Rumsfeld, His Rise, Fall and Catastrophic Legacy", by Andrew Cockburn that will substantiate all of this. And fittingly, Rumsfeld appropriately lives in a place called Mount Misery. In the video, "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World", which you can view at www.healthtalkhawaii.com, attorney James Turner explains how Rumsfeld got his poison marketed for human consumption. To learn about how the CDC investigation was covered up - The Rumsfeld-Pepsi-Nixon Connection, go to http://www.sweetremedy.tv/pages/rum... or view it in its entirety at www.healthtalkhawaii.com. For over a quarter of a century there has been mass poisoning of the public in over 100 countries of the world by aspartame because Donald Rumsfeld, as he put it, "called in his markers". The aspartame industry has paid front groups and professional organizations to defend them and push it on the very people it can cause the most harm to. A suit was filed against the American Diabetes Association in 2004 for racketeering but they got out of it.The hands of physicians are tied. Most are clueless that a patient is using aspartame, and the drugs used to treat the aspartame problem will probably interact and may even contain aspartame. This is the world that Donald Rumsfeld is responsible for!
