"The War In Medicine"

   Continued from previous post.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

The problem is not so much IQ (though certainly that is an issue),
the problem is corruption. Congress has sold America's soul and kept
the proceeds. The majority of members of Congress have gladly and
quickly sold their integrity (i.e. sold their souls) to the highest
bidder.

President Abraham Lincoln said it best:

    "We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war [civil war]
is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and
blood ... It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I
see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of
war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in
high places will follow, and the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the
Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.
God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless."
    President Abraham Lincoln

    The passage appears in a letter from Lincoln to Col. William F.
Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864, Hertz II, 954, in Archer H. Shaw, The Lincoln
Encyclopedia (New York: Macmillan, 1950), p. 40

The Politician Auction

Everyone knows what an auction is. Let us suppose a valuable antique
clock is put up for auction. Person A bids $100,000 for the clock.
Person B bids $200,000 for the clock. Person C bids $300,000 for the
clock. Person D bids $1,000,000 for the clock and ends up getting the
clock.

The owner of the clock gets $1,000,000.

The bidding for political favors is somewhat different. I call it a
"Politician Auction." It goes something like this. Person A gives
$100,000 to Politician Joe for political favors. Person B gives
$200,000 to Politician Joe for conflicting political favors. Person
C gives $300,000 to Politician Joe for another conflicting political

favor. Person D gives $1,000,000 to Politician Joe for yet another
conflicting favor. (Note: These payments do not have to be sequential,
politicians usually do not tell you how much the other fellow is giving
them.) The politician tries to keep all of them happy.

But note that Politician Joe has collected $1,600,000, not $1,000,000. In
a "Politician Auction" you have to give the politician the money when
you make the offer. Plus Politician Joe got a whole lot of other favors
thrown in that I won't talk about.

Is it any wonder there are so many, many "double standards" in
government? If is never about what is best for the common person on
the street, it is what is best for the people who buy the Congressmen.

Nowhere is this more evident that in medicine.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

In any case, Congress has, at the same time, consistently
forbidden Americans from having the choice of letting their
medical doctor work with them using alternative treatments.
As if that weren't bad enough, the restriction is still in
force even after orthodox treatments have totally failed
and the patient has been sent home to die!

To say this another way, Congress has consistently forbidden
Americans to be treated for cancer by herbalists, nutritionists,
etc., even after being sent home to die by orthodox medicine.

Thus we come to the following conclusion:

1) Congress allows you to choose which tobacco product you
will use to slowly and painfully kill yourself, 2) If you get
cancer, Congress forces you to take chemotherapy, which slowly
and painfully kills you, 3) If you get cancer, Congress does not
allow you to have your medical doctor treat you with alternative
medicine, which is painless, builds your immune system and
selectively kills cancer cells, 4) If you get cancer, Congress does
not allow you to go to a non-medical doctor for medical treatments
for cancer, even though it may save your life,
5) To make things even more absurd, even if you have been given
up for dead by the medical community, you still do not have the
legal choice to have your M.D. treat you with alternative medicine
or go to a non-M.D. to be treated.
6) Congress has allowed the FDA, NIH and NCI to crush all valid
statistical information about alternative treatments,
7) etc. etc. etc.

(Note: health insurance companies, which are regulated by the states,
use pretty much the same list.)

You might conclude from this that Congress wants you to die. Or you
might think that Congressmen are stupid. Actually they are stupid (or
should I say "fools"), and they don't care if you live or die. The list above
shows a clear pattern - Congress makes decisions based on what is best
for large corporations (i.e. their major contributers). The job of Congress
is to protect the profits of large corporations. Why would they do that?

Now, let's be logical, who gets most of the profits of large corporations?
Stockholders. Thus, Congress is protecting stockholders. But who are the
stockholders? Usually very rich people and families control the Boards of
Directors of large corporations, directly and indirectly. They also control
Congress both directly and indirectly. Congress can best be thought of as
puppets. The puppeteer is big business and old and new money, but mostly
old money.

Cancer Researchers Could Teach the Aviation Industry a Thing or Two

In an article in the British Medical Journal, researchers G. Smith and J. Pell have undertaken to analyze the effectiveness of parachutes in "gravitationally challenging" situations on the basis of randomized, double blind clinical trials. This methodology has been so engrained into the mindset of cancer researchers world wide as to become accepted as the only way by which scientifically valid results can be viewed as having any value. They were surprised to find that out of an enormous, world wide data base these researchers were unable to find a single randomized, controlled trial to measure the efficacy of parachute intervention in gravitationally challenging situations. This is appalling in view of the billions of dollars worth of scientific studies that have gone into developing this methodology as the gold standard for research involving human life.
While the use of parachutes is often limited to purely volunteer activities, as with posting the colors by dropping from the sky onto the field of an athletic event, there are far more serious applications that beg to be addressed. For decades, brave paratroopers have been mandated to risk their lives by using these unproven devices. One interesting result is that commercial airlines have refused to issue parachutes to their passengers and for good reason. One aviation expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, has stated flat out that his company will not assume the liability inherent in recommending the use of such untested devices for passengers.
There is obviously an immediate and urgent need to correct this deficiency in this major field of human endeavor. The perception that parachutes are of value is based strictly on anecdotal evidence. It is a universally accepted axiom that evidence based conclusions, not supported by randomized clinical trials is sorely wanting. It does not seem at all unreasonable to proceed immediately to correct this sore deficiency that is so pervasive throughout the aviation industry.
An effective clinical trial that would put this controversy to rest immediately does not seem to be beyond the bounds of reason and practicality. Roughly speaking, it could be carried out from a readily available test vehicle such as the old reliable C-130 aircraft. This craft has proven a workhorse the world over and its credentials are impeccable. The entire sequence of events relating to the trial could be carried out in a matter of minutes, seconds if the need be. It need only involve a number of test subjects (patients, if need be to keep the terminology continuous), say 100, each of which would wear a parachute and jump out at the signal of the principal investigator (jump master in the vernacular). It should be noted that a certain number of these candidates would be wearing normal parachutes while a certain number, say 5 for example, would be wearing what appeared by all accounts to be normal parachutes but would, in fact, be packed with ordinary bed sheets. Neither the jumper, the jump master nor the airplane pilot would know which were the dummy packs. For the moment it is not necessary to prescribe just what this number would be. This is better left to a committee of mathematicians from the National Cancer Institute to determine what number of "paracebos" would give the most conclusive data.
The opportunity for excellence in data reduction is manifold. For example, beyond the mere morbidity statistics, we could envision varying degrees of injury, and even predict survival estimates for those who did not suffer the inconvenience of death at impact with the earth. This could easily provide gainful employment for hundreds of research technicians. Of course there would be necessary and proper expenses. Surely the pilot and co-pilot should be rewarded handsomely for their participation, not to mention the principal investigator (jump master). Perhaps the biggest expense of all would be the media blitz to recruit volunteers. It is to be expected that intense pressure must be exerted to raise awareness on the need for such testing and finally get these brave heroes to volunteer. A strong call to their obligation to fellow air travelers world wide and their role as courageous scientists in a brave new venture should be sufficient. As a note on expenses, it should not be necessary to pay these brave souls anything as their participation in such a noble cause should, itself, be reward enough. After all, they did get a free ride on the airplane with complimentary light refreshments, free use of the parachute, free instruction from the jump master and a memorable descent to Mother Earth. What more could a reasonable participant ask? Financial support should be easily forthcoming from the likes of Boeing, Lockheed and the commercial airlines who stand to benefit greatly from the results.
Now of course the above is nonsense - or is it? Even as this is being written, thousands of Americans are being subjected to trials of all sorts, many of which have little or no merit other than the fact that funds needed to be allocated if funding renewal for next years projects is to be maintained. One simply does not return unspent money to Federal Grantors. Over the years, even the terminology has changed. Recent papers have referred to patients not as fellow human beings but as "units" and patient death is now being reported as a "survival event". One of the good things that came out of the holocaust was the Helsinki Accord on the Experimentation With Human Subjects. This noble document has many good clauses, perhaps the best of which was the one requiring the advised consent of the subject. How many times, a thoughtful person might wonder, has this been buried from sight in a pile of forms and mundane paperwork. Money is available in copious quantities but not without the consenting patient. To paraphrase the movie line, "No Buck Rogers, No bucks!".
As one who has enjoyed a rewarding career in the physical sciences, I am all for good research. Its that other kind that I object to - the kind that proceeds blindly down an unproductive path for a half a century and will not yield to introspective examination of its true effectiveness. The criticism that comes flying at anyone who dares to question runs along the lines of how can anything for which we have spent billions upon billions of dollars, the expenditure of thousands of human lives and the efforts thousands of researchers possibly be flawed? There is no discussion allowed on the fact that the per capita cancer death rate in the country has decreased only slightly in the last century despite all of the above.
The first question I would ask is whose point of view is being served? Our present system, adorned as it is in holy writ, is the darling of the NCI and the hundreds of centers and thousands of researchers that feed off of it. A recent expose on CBS "Sixty Minutes" caught Duke University with their hands in the cookie jar whereby they were fudging their numbers to make their drug look good. Perhaps the misplacing of a single decimal point in a particular direction could mean millions of dollars. In this case concern for the well being of patients clearly fell second to making money. A reasonable person might well wonder if this is not the norm in this day of greed and avarice. The point of view of researchers will doubtless be to continue the course regardless of results or the number of poor souls who will die from cancer. I would not go so far as to call this "fiddling while Rome burns" but I think that comes dangerously close to the truth.
Surely the American people are entitled to know just how many of their fellow citizens have died in these trials both in total and on a yearly basis. It seems to me that this is every bit as important as the budgets in dollars. Beyond that, I would personally like to know how many of those in the placebo arms of the trials, those who received only sterilized water, actually had positive responses. This is not as silly as it sounds. There is a recognized phenomena of human behavior that is known as the Hawthorne Effect. This was first recognized in evaluations at the Westinghouse Hawthorne plant in Chicago. Results there showed beyond doubt that humans are capable of unexpectedly positive response from the very fact that attention was being paid to them. Speaking for the hundreds of us who have beaten cancer death sentences using mind/body healing techniques, I should not be at all surprised if this number was higher that anyone might imagine. The resilience of the human spirit is a marvelous thing that is difficult for researchers to quantify.
As one coming from a successful career in the physical sciences where experimentation was a way of life, I am in no way implying that research is necessarily bad. I merely wish to point out that after a half century of far too many disappointing results it might be worthwhile to at least consider the possibility of another approach, drawn from the patient's point of view that appears to have exciting possibilities. As a patient, I am not the least bit concerned with either the politics of cancer research or in peeling back the foreskin of science. I SIMPLY WANT TO GET WELL and anything that can be shown to be promising represents a topic worthy of discussion. Let us therefore look at clinical trials as a purely binary proposition. Think of this as an either/or or black/white proposition. A treatment is administered to a number of patients with only two results possible - a positive response or no response.
Patients receiving this are encouraged to expect a good outcome, not kept in the dark by this statistical nonsense. Quite the contrary, the placebo effect is encouraged to work its wonders in addition to the efficacy of the drug. A 30% placebo effect, added to a 30% drug effect should yield a 60% favorable outcome. The Lord only knows how may good drugs have been passed over because they were not allowed this freedom of expression of all that is good and powerful in the human constitution. Before long this thing we call preponderance of evidence will provide the overwhelming proof that is required for oncologists on the front line of treatment to proceed with cautious optimism. Lives will be saved that would otherwise be lost in the statistically and politically correct clinical trials so pervasive in the country. Of course, this will be greeted with condemnation everywhere, despite the fact that our present system has had such minimal return from the money and lives expended over the last half century.
As for me, I will err on the side of caution. I will not jump out of any airplanes, with or without a parachute and I sure as the world will not submit myself into anybody's clinical trial.
Back in 1993 Gerald White survived a 20 pound kidney tumor that subsequently went metastatic to distant organs. After all medical treatments had failed and the dreadful "only three more months" death sentence had been delivered. He worked out a self- directed program of guided imagery that induced a remission in three months. He has served a three year term as a Director of the National Kidney Cancer Association. Through his webpage he maintains an active world wide mentoring program that has yielded many similar remissions of cases thought to be hopeless. His book has been translated into Chinese and Hungarian. A credible Scientist, in his career before cancer, he achieved some 20 technology patents in 9 countries.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

The corruption in Congress, the FDA, NIH, NCI, AMA and ACS,
to name but a few, not only suppresses accurate, life-saving honest
statistical information, but prohibit medical doctors from applying
the information of those statistics.

(Note: Yes, I am aware of Naturopaths (N.D.s), who are licensed
to do some things in some states, and there are some really good
naturopaths who know a lot about treating cancer, but I have some
issues with the profession as a whole, which may be more the fault
of the legal system, I don't know.)

Freedom of Choice in Medicine

Now that we have had a chance to talk about freedom of speech,
we can talk about freedom of choice in medicine, which has been
informally discussed above. But first, let's build a base from
which to work.

Let us talk some more about Congress and tobacco. As mentioned
above, Congress continues to protect the tobacco industry and
continues to allow them to sell tobacco products to Americans
legally. Thus, people have "freedom of choice to die from smoking."

The rationale is that virtually everyone knows the dangers of
cigarettes, etc., thus they should have the right to kill themselves
and smoke if they wish. Thus, people have a legal right to slowly
commit suicide by smoking and chewing tobacco, etc.

(But they do not have the choice of saving their lives by using
effective natural cancer treatments!!)

First of all, the "choice" of smokers is a big lie. A person
cannot comprehend the dangers of smoking until they get emphysema
or lung cancer, and then it is too late. If a person had to spend
a month in a hospital, handcuffed to the hospital bed of someone
dieing of emphysema and lung cancer, then they would comprehend
the dangers of smoking. Likewise, because the tobacco industry
legally adds addictive narcotics to tobacco a person really doesn't
have the choice to stop smoking at will.

Building Bridges Over Trauma With Guided Imagery For Cerebral Palsy

Of all the ailments that plague the human body, none has been more difficult to understand and treat than Cerebral Palsy. An in depth study reveals that CP, like the term cancer, is a catch all for a variety of trauma related problems affecting the central nervous system. These are all characterized by some blockage in the processing of commands to muscles that prevent them from the normal carrying out of simple instructions. Sometimes this condition is congenital (pre-natal) or it can occur as a result of some post-natal trauma. Modern imaging techniques are increasingly sophisticated and are getting better and better pictures of the neuroanatomic lesions that cause CP and the disorders associated with it. These barriers to a healthy body are the subject of the bridges referred to in the title. This article is not meant to be a discussion of the disease itself, for those afflicted by it understand the problem very well. Rather, this article is written to describe an exciting new approach to treatment. Instead of exercises carried out by command of the conscious left brain, this will involve exercises carried out totally within the subconscious right brain. The technique of Guided Imagery will be used to send healthy images to the subconscious mind by way of having the patient listen to a CD that conveys these healing images to the patient while in a relaxed state.
The recent development of a technique for embedding both the voice and background music tracks of the CD with a subliminal nine cycles/second beat means the we can now send the message in perfect tuning resonance with the natural electrical frequency of the right brain. This is very helpful in overcoming distractions such as random thoughts or unwanted noises. Thus all the patient has to do is relax, listen and follow the suggestions of the guide's voice coming from the CD. This is what is meant by the term Guided Imagery. One very good consequence of this is that the patient can very effectively do the exercise while enjoying sound sleep. In fact, the narrative of the CD is supported by soft background music that is crafted to induce sleep. While all physical exercises directed by the conscious left brain are necessarily limited by the conditions brought on by the disease, the right brain knows no limitations as this is the world of imagery and imagination. One of the most modern and upbeat concepts associated with mind/body medicine has been proposed by Dr. Herb Benson of Harvard. This is what he calls "remembered wellness" and in many treatment procedures it is worthwhile to call upon the mind to remember conditions as they were before disease struck. To see how this may be invoked in the treatment of CP, let us look at some of the treatment methods currently in use.
Rolfing, named for its founder, Dr. Ida Rolf, involves deep tissue massage of the fasciae that surrounds the muscle tissues. Albeit there have been successes reported with mild cases, there is suspicion that it may even be harmful in severe cases.
The 1940's method of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais is derived from principles of physics, biomechanics, psychology and martial arts. This involves developing new motor patterns by using gentle active and passive movements accompanied by verbal direction. The objective is to abandon old movement patterns by replacing them with newer, more effective patterns. As one who has practiced guided imagery for almost two decades, it struck me that this is about as close to what might be called guided imagery directed by the left brain as I have ever heard known. It is just a short step to the concept of doing this same thing in the virtual state through visualization. The left brain will retain a memory of the former while the right brain will remember the accomplishments of the latter. Furthermore it is the right brain, not the left that has the precise control over the subtleties of cellular organization and activities. While there is still no definitive confirmation of the efficacy of the Feldenkerais method, it is still widely practiced and the concept retains its appeal.
Aquatic therapy is generally used in conjunction with other forms of therapy. It is highly regarded among therapists. Again, it is worthwhile to note that a patient, in a relaxed state, following the suggestions of the imagery guide can likewise go for a therapeutic, refreshing, healing swim. This will also be remembered by the subconscious mind. Furthermore, it can be done as often as desired from the privacy on one's own home, does not require an actual swimming pool and involves absolutely no expense.
Hippotherapy (horseback riding) is very popular as an adjunct to treatments. This method also focuses on easier movements and responses to such things as weight shifting and postural maintenance due to equilibrium reactions. Again, a very vigorous ride, including jumps, can be enjoyed in the realm of the imagination that is just as real to the subconscious right brain as the hippotherapy is to the conscious left brain. There is likewise something to be said for horseback riding that does not require the usual feeding, grooming and cleaning the stables.
It must be emphasized that, although this is a fascinating concept, it is scarcely out of the starting gate and a long, long way from acceptance in the halls of medicine. Nevertheless it is appealing and enjoys many advantages. The same things are basically true in the CP venue that are true in the cancer applications. Guided imagery is patient friendly, self administered, self scheduled, with no side effects other than a good nights sleep and completely cost free.
Best of all, it will not take sophisticated machines to see progress. Those of us who argue for giving this a try expect to see progress in the smiles on sweet little faces, faces who currently show only diminishing hope. That will be reward enough to more than justify the effort and no amount of medical sophistry will be able to deny it. The nay sayers have already chimed in that this is purely visionary with no demonstrable basis in scientific fact. The best response that I can think of for this all too typical criticism of creative efforts historically is that of Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish".

    "The War In Medicine"

   Continued from previous post.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

It should be up to the patient (and patients give referrals when
their doctor heals them) to choose which type of doctor to go to,
and which type of treatment they receive. As mentioned above, the
patient should be given more information, not less.

Am I endorsing total chaos in the field of medicine? Let's think
about that. When a person has cancer, and decides not to go on
 chemotherapy (by their own choice), where is he or she going to
get medical advice? Most likely they are going to ask their friends
if they know anything about alternative treatments for cancer. Most
likely their friends know more than an M.D. about alternative
treatments for cancer, but far too little to give any type of
intelligent advice. Thus, we already have chaos in medicine because
most information about medicine comes from people watching
television which glorifies medical doctors in order to
sell more drugs.

There is no simple solution to the problem. Things are so messed
up right now there needs to be a total re-evaluation of cancer
treatment credentials. The bottom line is that patients should
have far more options, and far more information, in choosing a
treatment plan for themselves than they get from television.
Congress, the FDA, AMA, etc. have done everything in their
power to make sure citizens will never get good information.

In fact freedom of speech is all about hearing equal amounts of
differing options and information. Patients do not have that,
and neither do the medical doctors.

But the real problem goes much deeper than just licenses. Another
key is good statistical information about different cancer
treatments. This is exactly where the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer
Society (ACS), etc., enter the picture. Their key job is to insure
all research money goes to orthodox medicine and that alternative
medicine research (and truthful information) is crushed.

For example, not even medical doctors have good statistical
information about comparing the Brandt Grape Cure (applying
discoveries made since she designed her treatment plan) "cure rate"
to the chemotherapy "cure rate," for different types of cancer,
etc. But even if they did have the information, they couldn't use
it.

What I am trying to say is that even if herbalists, chiropractors,
etc. started treating cancer patients legally, it wouldn't help much
because the statistical information about cancer treatments is not
available. That's why I say it is not totally a license issue.

I would not be as severely opposed to the current system if medical
doctors had good access to valid and honest (with a big emphasis
on the word: honest) statistical information and if they were allowed
to practice alternative medicine, as an M.D., without getting thrown
in jail and/or having their license revoked.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

There is an old saying in the Bible, Matthew 9:17:

    "Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they
put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved."

The corruption in the FDA cannot be fixed. It is impossible to
put a bicycle tire rubber patch on a 50 foot wide hole in the
bottom of a ship. The FDA must be eliminated. The top 500
executives in the FDA should not be allowed to even apply for a
job in the new organization without substantive proof that they
have had a long track-record of supporting alternative medicine
research.

Another Application of Freedom of Speech

Let us suppose there are two people, Mike and Alan. Mike goes to
medical school and gets his M.D. Alan, on the other hand, after
graduating from college, takes many additional classes on nutrition
and herbal medicine. All in all, let us suppose that both of them
read an equal number of books and spend an equal amount of time
studying.

Rather than look at the degrees each holds, let us look at the books
each has read. The medical community (i.e. AMA) has been given the
legal authority to determine who can "practice medicine." Thus,
because Mike read the "medical books," he can "practice medicine."
Likewise, because Alan read the "health books," he is not legally
allowed to "practice medicine."

Thus, the medical establishment is essentially saying that the
ability to "practice medicine" is based on what you read (and what
your teacher tells you, which is the same thing). A person who
reads the wrong set of books is not allowed to "practice medicine."

Remembering that "freedom of speech" is really "freedom of
viewpoint," hose with a viewpoint of orthodox medicine can "practice
medicine" and those with a viewpoint of alternative medicine cannot
"practice medicine." Thus, the government, once again, has taken sides
and crushed the opposition.

As a better solution, the government should force "medical" schools
to teach alternative medicine along with orthodox medicine, and then
let the doctors and/or patients decide when to use each type of
medicine. But the reality is that neither the doctor, nor the patient, has
any valid information on which to make an informed decision.

And, quite frankly, based on what I have heard from cancer patients
(and what I have heard about medical students who dropped out of
medical school) most medical doctors would choose orthodox medicine
(because of its profits) over alternative medicine even if they knew
alternative medicine was more effective, safer, etc.

The government should allow non-medical doctors, who have substantial
training, to practice medicine, even if they have a differing
viewpoint. Again, the patients should be fully informed of both
kinds of medicine so they can make their own decision. Of course
orthodox medicine knows that anyone with an IQ above that of a
horse, who was fully informed, would choose alternative cancer
treatments when first diagnosed. That is not acceptable to those who
 profit from Big Pharma's bottomless money chest.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

As if this were not enough, Big Brother wants to ban labels on nutritional products
that notify people of published scientific experiments, the knowledge of which may
save their life!

In other words, allow a label on a product that kills you, but ban a label on a product
that may save your life. Sounds like profitable logic of the FDA.

That is what government corruption does. And it is this corruption
that is the target of the first amendment.

    "The Court indicated in its decision that it is poised to allow disclaimers as a way
of notifying consumers that not everyone in the scientific community agrees that,
for example, antioxidant vitamins reduce the risk of cancer."    ibid - LEF

While the court's decision is a small leap forward, the FDA is not about to give up
so easily. They are not about to allow disclaimers on labels for natural products
that allow the companies to tell the whole truth on that same label. After all, the
FDA has an important mission to perform for Congress and Big Pharma - crush
the truth.

On September 1, 2003, new rules went into affect regarding the labeling of
nutritional supplements. I don't have enough information yet about how these rules
will be implemented, so I do not have a specific comment. Based on what I have
seen so far, I am not encouraged. It appears that a tobacco-type disclaimer will be
required for most nutritional supplements.

In any case, I can say this, the FDA should be totally disbanded. It should be
eliminated  and replaced with a new organization where alternative medicine
experts should have a huge and required voice and vote in the new organization.

The new organization should be designed specifically to make sure the news
media presents both sides of all health issues. The media should be forced to
give equal time to actual alternative medicine experts.

Every time a medical doctor appears on television, an herbalist or natural medicine
practitioner should also appear, even if it is an advertisement. People should know
their natural medicine options.

Furthermore, chemotherapy drugs, before they are approved, should be proven to
extend life (not based on 5 years, but 10 or more years), compared to both refusal
of treatment and alternative treatments, before they are approved. Shrinking tumors,
comparing one toxic drug to another, etc. should be eliminated as a criteria for
approval.

At the end of the day, the key point is this: "who is assumed to be the authority?"
Once you pick your "authority" you restrict the information that is allowed in
court to be what the "authority" says. While a court claims that their decision is
based on "information," the "information" that is allowed in court is based on
who has the most "authority." And who has the most "authority" is based
on who has the most money, whether the money is controlling things at the
court level or the government level.

Congress and most courts are controlled by money, sometimes directly by
bribes, sometimes indirectly by bribes and sometimes by the lure of more
power.

But never is there an unbiased quest for truth and justice and what is best
for patients. It is never about the patients, it is about the money.

The New Rules For Labels

Is it wrong for the government to make an honest determination and then
 crush all competing arguments? While this might seem like a good thing,
it is a paradox. Government is never honest, and never will be, but is
corrupt and their decisions are always based on money, power and profit,
and never on what is best for the public. For this reason, it is the intent of
 the constitution to limit the authority of a corrupt government (the terms
"corrupt" and "government" are redundant). An honest government needs
no such restraints, but such a government cannot exist because the wealthy
control the information, directly and indirectly, that the general public hears.

    "When you get into politics, you find that all your worst nightmares about
it turn out to be true, and the people who are attracted to large concentrations
of power are precisely the ones who should be kept as far away from it as
possible."
    Ken Livingstone, Member of Parliament

When our Constitution was being debated, government was honest and many
people did not see the need for the Bill of Rights. Fortunately, Thomas
Jefferson and others persuaded the majority that the government would not
always be honest, and that the Bill of Rights was necessary.

As a good example of how "honest" our government is (and how much they
really care about our health), consider the tobacco industry, a long-time
financial friend of Congress. Several hundred thousand American's a year
die because of tobacco products. Yet they are legal. These products have
not been banned even though it has been known since the 1930s that they
caused lung cancer and other fatal diseases.

Their products only require a warning label put on them (which was
probably requested by the tobacco industry to avoid lawsuits). The
tobacco industry is also allowed to add chemicals to the tobacco
to make their products even more addictive.

Flaxseed vs. Flaxseed Oil From Flax Your Way to Better Health

Alternative Medicine:

"Flaxseed oil is a wonderful source of alpha-linolenic acid. However, when you buy flax in the form (oil), this is all you're getting. In other words, flaxseed oil is lacking in all the other important nutrients that provide so much benefit, particularly fiber, lignans, and protein."
Nature's Gem Premium Omega 3 Golden Flaxseed is high in fiber, lignans and protein.
"...flaxseed oil comes in two different forms: regular and high-lignan oil. This latter variety struck me as odd when I first began researching flaxseed and flax-based products, since the oil is, by definition, lacking in lignans. I did some investigating, contacting several companies that produce the "high-lignan" version to check out just what process they use in its manufacture. Unfortunately, I could not verfiy that lignans are somehow added back in to the oil. Therefore, I suffest you be wary when confronting such claims."
Nature's Gem Premium Omega 3 Golden Whole Flaxseed is guaranteed for (3) three YEARS!
"And here is one last caveat about flaxseed oil. Because of its chemical composition, flax oil must be kept refridgerated at all times. Even refridgerated, it's got a pretty short shelf life - you have to use it within six to eight weeks after opening the bottle - after that it goes rancid. How do you know if your flaxseed oil has gone bad? You'll get a bitter taste or even a burning sensation on your tongue, and it will start to smell like paint thinner. Unrefridgerated, it spoils much faster, as I discovered during an experiment I did on my own. I left a bottle of flaxseed oil out on my kitchen counter, checking it daily. After just a few days, the odor it gave off had changed dramatically! Not a flavor I wanted to add to my meals, that's for sure!
Keep in mind that flaxseed oil is expensive. Since it spoils relatively quickly, and since the research show that whole or ground flaxseed has far more beneficial properties, it seems wiser to skip the oil and go straight for the seeds."

Brucellosis - Definition, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Alternative Medicine:

Brucellosis is a bacteria, disease. Brucellosis is also called Mediterranean fever. It caused by a Brucella canis bacteria. These bacteria are passed among animals and vertebrates. The bacteria enters the body through mucous membranes and spreads from there to lymph nodes and the spleen. It also spreads to the uterus, placenta and prostate gland as well as other internal organs at times. In humans brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms that are similar to the flu and may include fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and physical weakness. Severe infections of the central nervous systems or lining of the heart may occur. Brucellosis can also cause long-lasting or chronic symptoms that include recurrent fevers, joint pain, and fatigue. Brucellosis can be very common in countries where animal disease control programs have not reduced the amount of disease among animals. High risk of Brucellosis in South and Central America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Unpasteurized cheeses, sometimes called "village cheeses," from these areas may represent a particular risk for tourists. The causative agent of brucellosis in dogs is Brucella canis. It is transmitted to other dogs through breeding and contact with aborted fetuses. Brucellosis can occur in humans that come in contact with infected aborted tissue or semen. The bacteria in dogs normally infect the genitals and lymphatic system, but can also spread to the eye, kidney, and intervertebral disc (causing discospondylitis). Symptoms of brucellosis in dogs include abortion in bitches and scrotal inflammation and orchitis Brucella organisms in samples of blood or bone marrow. If this method is used, two blood samples should be collected 2 weeks apart.Treatment of brucellosis mostly doxycycline and rifampin are used in combination for 6 weeks to prevent reoccuring infection.
Causes of Brucellosis
Direct person-to-person spread of brucellosis is extremely rare. It also spreads to the uterus, placenta and prostate gland as well as other internal organs at times. Humans are generally infected in three ways: eating , drinking and breathing. Unpasteurized goat milk and related dairy products is the main route of B melitensis transmission to humans. The most common way to be infected is by eating or drinking contaminated milk products. Sexual transmission has also been reported. For both sexual and breast-feeding transmission, if the infant or person at risk is treated for brucellosis, their risk of becoming infected will probably be eliminated within 3 days. Farmers and shepherds have similar exposure risks, and they also have exposure to aborted animals. Slaughterhouse workers, primarily those in the kill areas, become inoculated through aerosolization of fluids, contamination of skin abrasions, and splashing of mucous membranes. Laboratory workers (microbiologists) are exposed by processing specimens (aerosols) without special precautions. Veterinarians usually are infected by inadvertent inoculation of animal vaccines against B abortus and B melitensis.
Symptoms of Brucellosis
1.Fever.
2.Headache.
3.Weakness.
4.Profuse sweating
5.Chills.
6.Weight loss and generalized aching.
Treatment of Brucellosis
1.Doxycycline and rifampin are used in combination for 6 weeks to prevent reoccuring infection.
2.Aminoglycosides streptomycin and gentamicin are effective against Brucella bacteria.
3.Gentamicin 5 mg/kg by intramuscular injection once daily for 7 days is an acceptable substitute
4.Provide supportive care for any specific symptoms and obtain appropriate tests targeted to affected organ systems as determined by history and physical.
5.All infected animals should be neutered or spayed to prevent sexually related transmission. All infected animals should be considered to be lifelong carriers of the disease.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

In truth, however, doctors only present the pros and cons of a specific drug and
never present the pros and cons of using orthodox medicine versus the best of
the alternative treatments for that health condition.

As the article implies, the FDA should be requiring more information
by alternative medicine vendors, not less.

Of course the real problem is not legal or theoretical, but political (i.e. monetary).
The FDA has sold out to the same people the media has sold out to, and is also part
of the suppression of truth. Some people would call this a conspiracy, but many
 people don't believe in conspiracies (I guess they still believe the earth is flat).

The purpose of the first amendment is specifically to declare that the government
does not have the right to favor one side of a critical issue and to suppress the
other side from presenting their view. The amendment is specifically about
suppression of free speech (i.e. suppression of a viewpoint).

In other words, the intent of the constitution was that government
should not be allowed to define truth. If the government is allowed
to define truth, then they are allowed to present only one side of
the issue, the side they define as "truth."

A good example of this is the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA).
First, read a little about it:
    "A provision in the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) provided
an additional process for manufacturers to use health claims if such claims
are based on current, published, authoritative statements from certain federal
 scientific bodies. These include only those "with official responsibility for
public health protection or research relating to human nutrition" such as the
 National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the National Academy of Sciences."
    http://www.eatright.org/Public/GovernmentAffairs/92_adap1099.cfm

The list of organizations approved by FDAMA is a list of the most
corrupt organizations on earth.

We should ask ourselves: "published by who"? Published by journals
or government agencies approved by the pharmaceutical industry.

The list of acceptable scientific bodys is a "who's who" of scientific corruption.
Did you notice something interesting? Only government controlled experiments
are allowed to be used as scientific evidence! Talk about blatant control of "truth."

Another scam of the FDA, ad nauseum, is the concept of an "evidence-based"
review system. I am not going to say much about this because it is so similar to
what as been already said. All I will say is "who is allowed to present the evidence"
 or "whose evidence are you going to use."

Cinnamon Spice Offers Health Benefits

Alternative Medicine:

Cinnamon is widely used both in the food and pharmaceutical industry because of its antiseptic properties. The cinnamon bark oil is used as a flavoring for digestive aids, liniments, and oral care products. It is also used in many perfumes, soaps, and lotions. In addition, cinnamon leaf oil is used in the food industry as flavorings to candies, sauces, and pastries. The commonly used ingredient is actually the soft, inner bark of the cinnamon tree.
This spice is now being heralded as the latest in the long line of herbal medicine wonders? According to research findings, one teaspoon of cinnamon contains 28 milligrams of calcium, one milligram of iron, fiber, and vitamins C, K, and manganese.
The use of cinnamon dates back in Chinese medicine to 2800 BC, and is known as kwai?in the Chinese language. Ancient Egyptians used it in the embalming process of corpses because of its fragrance. Medieval physicians used this spice to treat coughs, hoarseness, sore throats, and other types of infections. Cinnamon also has antibacterial and inflammatory properties that help reduce joint and muscle pain, especially the discomforts associated with arthritis.
Many health specialists advice diabetics to take daily dose of cinnamon to regulate blood sugar levels. It can also benefit one's health by improving the body's digestive system and relieve many stomach discomforts.
In aromatherapy, cinnamon oil is used to stimulate and warm the senses, restore vigor, and treat stress and anxiety. Cinnamon oil is also important in strengthening the immune system because its scent is said to treat early stages of cold and fever. The oil of cinnamon is also used as a physical and emotional stimulant, with many believing that it can actually enhance one's libido.
Medical research also indicates that the scent of cinnamon may reduce drowsiness, irritability, pain, and frequent migraines. In some studies, the essential oil provides relief to tight muscles, ease painful joints, and relieve menstrual cramps in women. Cinnamon also increases the action of enzymes that break down the food in the body and help improve one's metabolism.
Traditional uses of cinnamon
Many traditional cultures around the globe have been using cinnamon not just as an ingredient in their favorite dishes but as a medicine as well. In fact, cinnamon has been highly valued for its medicinal properties for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years.
Here are the other health benefits of Cinnamon:
?Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon included in a daily diet can lower cholesterol.
?Cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with diabetes.
?Cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.
?A study released by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland showed that cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.
?It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.
.Relief from congestion - Cinnamon and other spices have long been consumed to relieve congestion that comes from colds, allergies, and other common conditions.
.Muscle and joint pain relief- Those who eat cinnamon on a regular basis often report that their muscle and joint pain, as well as stiffness, is reduced or even eliminated.
?When added to food, it prevents bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.
?Smelling cinnamon may boost cognitive function and memory.
?Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.
Indeed, cinnamon has many benefits that can be used to improve one's health and well-being. If taken together with a balanced, healthy diet and plenty of exercise --- one can bring back the spice of life that everyone longs for.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech


    "The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants."
    Albert Camus

I like these comments by Ralph Moss:

    "In his classic On Liberty, John Stuart Mill wrote that
"over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is
sovereign." In 1914, Judge Cardozo ruled that "every human
being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine
what shall be done with his own body...."

    In 1987, the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed:
"We see no reason why a patient should not be allowed to make
an informed decision to go outside currently approved medical
methods in search of an unconventional treatment." In a masterful
review, Berkeley law professor Marjorie Shultz concluded: 'patient
autonomy should be recognized and protected as a distinct legal
interest.'"
    http://www.ralphmoss.com/html/step.shtml

Thus, according to the constitution, the responsibility of the
government should be to allow the presentations of both sides
of an issue (e.g. the issue of cancer treatments) and to make
sure that everyone hears these presentations. In other words,
they should be proactively enforcing the public's right to
hear both sides of any health issue.

If the FDA and FCC were doing their constitutional job, they
would be severely persecuting the media (e.g. T.V., radio,
printed) for selling-out to Big Pharma and presenting only
one side of the cancer treatment issue!! But instead of doing
their public duty they sold out too!!! Ditto for Congress.
Ditto for every state legislature (regarding health insurance
laws).

Here is a quote from a legal journal:

    "If a health claim lies in the gray area of science where
connections between health and particular nutrients are unclear,
legislation and regulation should favor the policy that the
healthcare consumer should be provided with more, rather than
less, information whenever possible, based on the theory that
the individual is the appropriate determiner of his or her own best
interest [which requires good information from both sides of
the fence]. This theory is consistent with the model of
communication in traditional medicine, fully inform the patient
of all possible benefits, risks and uncertainties and then leave
the final choice to him whenever possible."

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

The Freedom of Speech Issue

In essence, this is where "Freedom of Speech" enters the picture.
Without freedom of speech Big Brother presents its side of all
issues to the public and suppresses any conflicting opinions. Of
course, the media does that for them because the media is also
controlled by Big Pharma.

"Free Speech" means that everyone gets to express their opinion.
But what "free speech" should really mean is that all people
should hear both sides of the issue from both sides of the fence.

"Free speech" should not be about who can talk as much as about
who can hear!!!

If a person's opinions differ from those in the government,
no one is allowed to hear their opinion.

The concept of "free speech" was specifically designed to allow
those who disagree with government to speak without being
persecuted !! But this concept was developed before the media
took total control over what people hear!!

Our founding fathers remembered what happened to their ancestors
before they came to America but they did not anticipate modern
media which would soon control what people hear.

But of course, the FDA thinks that the Constitution does not
apply to them because they are trying to crush the opinions of
those people who think God did not flunk His chemistry courses.
And, of course, when Big Brother crushes free speech it is
supposedly in the "best interests" of the nation. Exactly who
is supposed to decide what is in the "best interests" of the
nation? Our founding fathers specifically did not think that big
government should be the organization to decide what is in the
"best interests" of the people!!

The "government" is made up of people who worship power, who
worship money, who worship being able to do things without
getting caught, who quickly sell out to the highest bidder,
and so on. These are exactly the people who should not be making
decisions based on the "best interests" of the nation.

Of course, the real reason all tyrants like the FDA crush free
speech is because it is a threat to their tyranny. The FDA
crushes free speech (i.e. the alternative viewpoint) because it
is a threat to the profits of Big Pharma, and more importantly,
a threat to the external retirement benefits of FDA executives
and a threat to the benefits the pharmaceutical industry provides
the members of Congress.

Thus, it is in the best interests of the FDA to continue to pretend
they care about human life, to continue to suppress the truth about
alternative treatments, and above all, to continue to hide behind
the corrupt skirts of the orthodox medical community.

Cancer can be cured.

   Continued from previous post.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

Now things get complicated. The issue here is whether a reasonable
person should have the right to make their own health decisions or
whether Big Brother should make those decisions for them.

But therein lies the paradox. In order for a reasonable person
to make a decision they must have information from the people
on both sides of the argument. But the FDA (and the media) does
not allow people to hear both sides of the argument, thus how
can Big Brother pronounce that it has proven that a reasonable
person doesn't know how to think?

In order to make a decision, a person should have the right
to the information from the people on both sides of the fence
(where have you heard that before?). The concept of "both sides"
of an issue is something the FDA is specifically commissioned
by Congress (who have also sold-out to Big Pharma) and Big
Pharma to crush.

The FDA tells people how good chemotherapy is by approving
these drugs. Then the FDA tells people how bad natural medicine
is by not approving these products. Thus people know what is
good about chemotherapy (actually there is nothing good about
chemotherapy) and what is bad about natural products. Somehow,
the FDA wants to convince people that this is telling both sides
of the story.

Thus, worrying that the American people might become healthy
(and thus not need prescription drugs), and fearing that people
are smart enough to come to a logical conclusion, the FDA has
long decided that reasonable people should not be presented
with both sides of the issue from both sides of the fence.

Hives Diagnosis and Treatment

Alternative Medicine:

Hives medically known as urticaria. Hives are raised, often itchy, red welts on the surface of the skin. Hives can occur anywhere on the body, such as the trunk, arms, and legs. Urticaria is a common condition that can affect any person of any race at any age in any season of the year. It occurs in up to 20% of the population at one time or another. Hives can occur on any skin surface, but usually spare the palms and soles of the feet. Hives are classified as acute or chronic depending on the length of the episode. Swelling deeper in the skin that may accompany hives is called angioedema. This may be seen on the hands and feet as well as on mucous membranes. Hives are produced by histamine and other compounds released from cells called mast cells.
Histamine causes fluid to leak from the local blood vessels leading to swelling in the skin. Hives result from dilation of capillaries allowing fluid to leak out into the surrounding tissue, the epidermis. Hives are a common reaction, especially in people with other allergies like hay fever. Some hives are caused by allergies to such things as foods and medications, but the large majority of cases are not allergic, and no specific cause for them is ever found. Although this is frustrating to patients, such common maneuvers as changing diet, soap, detergent, and makeup are usually not helpful in preventing hives and for the most part are not necessary.
Hives are itchy because the swelling occurs in the epidermis, which has many nerve endings.
Ordinary hives may be widespread and disturbing to look at, but the vast majority of cases do not lead to life-threatening complications. Urticarial disease is thought to be caused by the release of histamine and other mediators of inflammation (cytokines) from cells in the skin. Symptoms of hives is swelling of the external of the skin into red- or skin-colored welts with clearly defined edges. They flare, itch, swell, and go away in a matter of minutes to hours, only to appear elsewhere. This sequence may go on from days to weeks. Most hive episodes last less than six weeks. Don't wear tight-fitting clothing and avoid hot baths or showers just after an episode of hives. Avoid exposure to substances that give you allergic reactions.
Hives Treatment and Prevention Tips
1. Avoid exposure to substances that give you allergic reactions.
2. Antihistamines, which help oppose the effects of the histamine leaked by mast cells.
3. Oral steroids (prednisone, Medrol) can help severe cases of hives in the short-term.
4. Don't wear tight-fitting clothing and avoid hot baths or showers just after an episode of hives.
5. Topical therapies for hives include creams and lotions which help numb nerve endings and reduce itching.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

Who exactly is "everyone" in the phrase "everyone agrees?"
Surprise, it is the orthodox medicine people who are under
the total control of Big Pharma. Who else would the FDA quote?
Thus, if the case was between alternative medicine and orthodox
medicine, as long as orthodox medicine agrees among themselves,
orthodox medicine constitutes "significant scientific agreement."
They have won the case without presenting any evidence.

But when natural substances are tested, suddenly "not everyone
agrees." How can someone disagree with a well-done, quality,
honest scientific study? How can they ignore overwhelming,
repeatable, scientific statistics? Do you see a pattern here?

I have done many experiments myself, and it is well-known that
if you don't agree with something, do it yourself. In other
words, a good scientific experiment is verifiable and repeatable.
You don't "disagree" with a quality, honest experiment that is
verifiable and repeatable. Such an experiment is irrefutable.

So why is the FDA talking about "not everyone agrees?" Perhaps
they should have said: "not everyone thinks it leads to more
profitable techniques."

So, the LEF wanted to tell their customers about scientific
experiments that were not profitable to orthodox medicine.
We see that the FDA was willing to accept scientific evidence
if it benefited and profited the pharmaceutical industry,
but when the scientific evidence benefited the health of the
public it was not allowed because orthodox medicine (i.e. the
pharmaceutical industry) did not consider the scientific
evidence to lead to more profits.

I continue the previous quote:

    "We believe that consumers are perfectly capable of judging
for themselves whether they want to take a dietary supplement
as long as they have truthful information. Fortunately, the
Court agreed with us and the FDA's "Father Knows Best" approach
was soundly rejected by the Court which apparently found some of
the agency's arguments about a person's ability to make their
own decision ridiculous. We got a laugh out of the Court's take
on some of the FDA's arguments. In responding to the assertion
that all claims lacking "significant scientific agreement" (we
still don't know what that is) are misleading, the Court wrote:

    'As best we understand the government, its first argument
runs along the following lines: that health claims lacking
significant scientific agreement' are inherently misleading
because they have such an awesome impact on consumers as to
make it virtually impossible for them to exercise any judgment
at the point of sale. It would be as if the consumers were
asked to buy something while hypnotized, and therefore they
are bound to be misled. We think this contention is almost
frivolous.'"

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

In other words, "significant scientific agreement" is basically
saying "majority rule" (i.e. the "majority opinion") favors the
pharmaceutical industry because more people have sold out to the
pharmaceutical industry than have not!!!

Thus, the FDA was trying to make sure that those who have sold
out to Big Pharma will always win court cases over those who do
actual scientific research.

Much of the "significant scientific agreement" occurs because the
pharmaceutical industry contols the medical journals.

Thus, "significant scientific agreement" is the same thing as
saying "whichever side has the most people who have sold-out."

"Everyone agrees" (i.e. the "majority of scientists agree")
with the ridiculous and bogus studies that compare one toxic
chemotherapy drug to another toxic chemotherapy drug. "Everyone
agrees" with the unproven (in fact disproven) theory that shrinking
a tumor leads to the increase in life span of cancer patients.
"Everyone agrees" that chemotherapy does more good than harm
(which, of course, is a lie).

"Truth" becomes irrelevant in court and is replaced by "majority
rule" which is in fact the same thing as saying: "which side has
the most members." But the side with the most members will
be the side with the most money.

Thus, the phrase "significant scientific agreement" essentially
says "only the side with the most money (and thus the most members)
has opinions that matter." That of course means the pharmaceutical
industry because the laws have been designed to allow them to patent
their drugs.

The Court Case Dealing With "Significant Scientific Agreement"

The key court case in dealing with the concept of "significant
scientific agreement" is the case of Pearson vs. Shalala (Pearson
v. Shalala, 164 F.3d 650 (D.C. Cir. 1999), reh'g, en banc, denied,
172 F.3d 72 (D.C. Cir. 1999)). Actually is was the Life Extension
Foundation (LEF) vs. the FDA, but legally it is known as Pearson
vs. Shalala.

I quote from the LEF (Life Extension Foundation) website:

    "Our challenge began when the government refused to allow
claims we wished to make on dietary supplements, including such
things as "Antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain
cancers" and "Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease".
These claims are backed up by scientific evidence, yet the
FDA nixed them based on something called "significant
scientific agreement". There may be scientific evidence, they
argued, but not everyone agrees. This so-called "significant
scientific agreement" rule was purely a creation of the FDA,
yet the agency could not, or would not, define it. What it
boiled down to is the agency had created for itself a stone
wall it could throw up at will. Drug companies could claim
that their products prevented X based on scientific evidence,
but supplement manufacturers could not. We wanted to knock
down this wall so that people could have access to information about
vitamins and other supplements."
    http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag99/july99-cover.html

First, let's talk about the phrase: "There may be scientific
evidence, they argued, but not everyone agrees." Have you ever
heard such a ridiculous statement? Yes, I know that virtually
all pharmaceutical research on cancer drugs is totally bogus.
But yet it seems that "everyone agrees" with their bogus studies
because their "research" leads to highly profitable treatments.

The term "significant scientific agreement" therefore crushes
the valid research of anyone not controlled by the pharmaceutical
cartel because most "scientists" have sold out to the
pharmaceutical cartel and their "opinions" take precedence over
real scientific studies.

Preventive Health Care: Does it Exist?

Alternative Medicine:

True preventive health care is nonexistent for most Americans. That's because traditional medicine focuses on treatment of symptoms, and that's not prevention. Our health care system operates like the old barn door ?it's left open and then the farmer tries to figure out why the horses ran off.
Preventive or "alternative" medicine is available, but it's not the norm. You have to be informed enough, open minded enough and have enough money to get it. If you find a traditionally trained physician who integrates alternative medicine into his or her practice, and still takes your insurance, you are in luck.
Most often you will not be in luck because alternative practitioners are usually fed up with the traditional system. Part of their gripe is dealing with insurance providers who dictate what medications the insurer will pay for. So doctors stop taking insurance. The result is that patients seeking alternative medicine must either pay the entire cost of care or do without.
Our overburdened health care system is controlled by the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. The pharmaceutical industry holds the "solution" (prescription drugs) to medical problems. That prescription drugs usually don't cure a condition doesnt matter. Drug companies are not interested in finding cures. A cured condition does not require medication. No profit it that!
However, it is profitable just to manage symptoms (high blood pressure for example) with medication for years, or until the patient changes lifestyle habits or the patient dies.
If you think about how long it is taking to find a cure for cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and other devastating diseases, you must conclude that something doesnt add up. We are the most technologically and scientifically advanced country on the planet and it still takes forever to find cures.
Take the amount of time and money spent over the years to find a cure for cancer. Yes, there are cures (which often become relapses), but treatments that poison the entire body in an effort to get at the cancer and usually end up killing the patient are barbaric. There has to be a better way.
Look how long we have been dallying with Alzheimer's disease. Research money provided by corporations and advocacy organizations continues to fund the same unproductive "plaques and tangles" theory as the cause of AD.
At the same time, credible Alzheimer's research at universities (with the help of government funding ?not usually the pharmaceutical industry) clearly shows there is a probable answer to AD but more research needs to confirm preliminary findings. Why isnt promising research followed up by the entities that claim to want prevent or cure AD?
This brings me to a true story. The husband of a close friend, Mary, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In the early stage, he had some hand tremor but what was most disturbing to Mary was evidence of cognitive decline. A math whiz, her husband now had difficulty with simple arithmetic.
The doctor said medication was not yet indicated. He could offer nothing to help the cognitive problem. Mary asked if I knew anything that might help.
I had recently seen research that showed progression of Parkinson's could be slowed a staggering 44 percent by taking 1,200 mg. of CoQ10 a day. (Normal daily dose is 50-150 mg). The Life Extension Foundation protocol for treatment of Parkinson's indicates up to 3,000 mg daily. There are no known side effects or contraindications for high doses of CoQ10.
Mary started her husband on 1,200 mg a day and about two weeks later bumped up the dose up to 2,400 mg.
Within a month, her husband's cognition was almost back to normal. Was it luck? Was it a "miracle" that would have occurred without the CoQ10, or was it the CoQ10 that produced the benefit? Will the improvement last?
Shall we wait for Alzheimer's advocates or the pharmaceutical industry to fund adequate trials of CoQ10? We should not hold our breath. CoQ10 is not patentable.
When the traditional health care system fails us all we can do is take personal responsibility and act on our own behalf to the best of our ability.
Taking personal responsibility includes developing a prevention-oriented mindset ?learning how to stay well without reliance on a health care system that talks a lot about prevention but doesnt seem to know how to provide it.

More Herbal Remedies for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Herbal Remedies:

More and more people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome are turning to alternative types of therapy. Some of the simplest remedies to try are herbal supplements. Before embarking on a non-traditional or holistic therapy for CFS, seek the advice of your physician.
If you elect to try different forms of therapy, your physician may know of a healer in the community that specializes herbs and other forms of holistic medicine. In some European nations, these healers are known as osteopaths. He/she or even your physician may also be able to help you understand some of the materials and information you come across.
If you have health insurance, their medical management staff may also have done some research on these topics, or they may have osteopaths enrolled as providers. Always take the time to do quality research. While the internet is an incredible tool for finding all kinds of information, some sites are more accurate than others. Your local library may also have some good books and magazines to start with. Information is power, and the more you are armed with, the better.
Since the immune system seems to be one of the most targeted by CFS , this article will discuss three of the best herbs for encouraging the immune system to kick into gear. These three herbal supplements (Echinacea, goldenseal, and licorice root) are also useful in fighting viral infections. People who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome need to do everything they can to avoid sickness. A respiratory infection or stomach disorder can lead to an even more depleted level of energy.
Echinacea is especially effective when an infection is present. It helps to protect the body's cells by keeping bacteria, viruses and other pathogens out. Many studies have shown that Echinacea is often very successful at strengthening a weakened immune system, as well as warding off the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It has been known to bring relief to many patients. The recommended dose of this herb is 15 to 20 drops dissolved in liquid. This should be taken three times a day for a period of two days. To get the required amount another appropriate dosage would be 300 to 325 milligrams three times a day.
Goldenseal and Echinacea are sometimes sold together and other times as separate herbs. When goldenseal is sold by itself, be sure to select one that is alcohol free. Goldenseal is extremely effective when it comes to controlling a viral infection. When a person first senses that they are coming down with a sore throat they should consume a few drops of goldenseal. Drop it into your mouth and hold it there for a moment before swallowing. Goldenseal is meant for specific health problem, and therefore, not meant to be taken on a constant basis. Goldenseal should not be taken more than one week at a time. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid using the herb goldenseal, as should those who have a history of glaucoma, heart disease or diabetes. If a person who has diabetes or heart problems does decided to use this herb to improve their health, it should always be done under a doctor's close supervision.
Licorice (or licorice root) is not the same as the candy licorice. The herb licorice root helps to support the proper functioning of the endocrine system. Much like goldenseal, this herb is very potent. If used daily it should be taken no more than seven days at a time. Those with high blood pressure should stay away from it entirely. If a doctor or an alternative healthcare practitioner recommends licorice root it will also be necessary to consume a variety of foods that are rich in potassium.
Herbal supplements are just one of the many alternative medicines that a patient suffering from CFS can investigate. With the help of a physician or doctor of osteopathy, and some research, the possibilities are almost limitless. Three herbs to consider at the outset are Echinacea, Goldenseal, and Licorice Root, as all three enhance immune system function.

How Can I Solve My Problem?

    "The War In Medicine"

   Continued from previous post.

   The FDA Versus Freedom of Speech

Let us think about orthodox opinions. First we must understand
that Medical Doctors are trained in medical schools that are
largely funded and historically totally controlled (both directly
and indirectly) by the pharmaceutical industry.

Thus, anyone with an M.D. behind their name is guaranteed to
have several characteristics:
1) They know virtually nothing about nutrition,
2) They know nothing truthful about alternative treatments
for cancer, 3) The are totally brainwashing into believing
chemotherapy and radiation are actually good for a patient,
4) They hate alternative medicine because it cuts into their
profits, and 5) They think all alternative medicine is quackery
(i.e. they think God is too stupid to know anything about
chemistry).

The opinion of God is irrelevant because God does not have a
medical degree.

Couple this with massive conflicts of interest, such as the
Mayo Clinic, and other cancer research organizations, receiving
millions of dollars in funding for cancer "research," and
you have the sum total of "orthodox opinion."

In other words, "orthodox opinion" is made up of people: who
have massive conflicts of interest, who hate the way God does
His chemistry (because it is not profitable), who have been
brainwashed into believing God is a quack, who want alternative
medicine crushed, and so on.

In short "orthodox opinion" is exactly what the FDA wants
because its foundation is profits for the medical community.
In other words, "significant scientific agreement," "orthodox
opinion," and "pharmaceutical profits" all mean exactly the
same thing. It slams the door in the face of God and those
who use Mother Nature's cancer treatments.

Thus, by cleverly morphing the phrase "pharmaceutical profits"
into the phrase "significant scientific agreement," the FDA is
putting pharmaceutical profits above scientific evidence.

Natural and Home Remedies for Asthma

Home Remedies:

Asthma is an ancient Greek word meaning "panting or shortdrawn breath". It is in allergic reaction due to one or more allergens. It is the most troublesome of respiratory diseases. The asthma patient gets frequent attacks of breathlessness, in between which, he is completely normal.
One of the most popular natural remedies is homeopathy. This can be given over many years without any fear of having any harmful reactions. There are also a number of herbs that can be used as an alternative asthma treatment. However, their ability will be proportionate to the capability of the herbalist who specializes in herbal medicines.
Figs (Anjeer) dry: Dry figs help clear mucus from bronchial tubes and are therefore a valuable food remedy for asthma. Phlegmatic cases of cough and asthma can be treated with success. It gives comfort to the patient by draining off the phlegm. Three or four dry figs should be cleaned thoroughly with warm water and soaked overnight. They should be taken during morning time in an empty stomach, along with the water in which they are soaked. This treatment may be continued for about two months.
In 1 cup of water soak 1 tspn of Fenugreek seeds overnight. Strain. Add 1 tspn of Ginger juice and 1 tspn of honey to this. This should be taken morning and evening.
In china a powerful mixture of herbs called Shuan Huang Lian is being used in
hospitals to treat respiratory illness, very important to use this herb in asthma and acute bronchitis.
The bark and leaves of the ginkgo tree are effective in the treatment of allergic sneezing and snuffling, and is also used in treatments for asthma. Many asthma attacks are caused by the same allergic reactions that trigger hay fever.
Licorice root tea Make a tea by putting � teaspoon in a cup of hot water and steep for 10 minutes; strain. Drink one or two cups daily to relieve asthma symptoms. You can also find tea bags at many grocery or health food stores
Indian gooseberry has also proved valuable in asthma. Five grams of gooseberry mixed with one tablespoon of honey forms an effective medicinal tonic for the treatment of this disease.
Gur mixed with equal quantity of mustard oil taken for 21 days gives almost permanent relief.
Adding fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet and decreasing both high-fat and high-sugar items also may be part of a process of natural asthma remedies. Controlling highly processed and chemical-laden foods may eliminate any simultaneously occurring food allergies that may be increasing the severity of your asthma conditions. Avoid foods that are made with white flour and try to choose whole grain alternatives. Whole-wheat pastas, breads and even dinner rolls are a wonderful alternative to the highly processed white breads usually consumed in Western diets.
