FDA tyranny and the censorship of cherry health facts (opinion)In the past, I jokingly said that broccoli might someday be banned as soon as the public begins to learn about the potent anti-cancer chemicals found in the vegetable. That’s because, as I jested, the FDA wouldn’t want people treating their own cancer with the anti-cancer medicines found in cruciferous vegetables. But it seems that my joke wasn’t so funny after all, because the FDA is now threatening cherry growers with raids to confiscate their cherries, haul them into court, and put them out of business for doing one simple thing that the FDA cannot stand to allow: The distribution of scientific information describing the health benefits of cherries.
On October 17, 2005, the FDA sent warning letters to 29 companies that market cherries. In these letters, the FDA threatened these companies with legal action and told them they had to remove the scientific information on their websites that described the health benefits of the natural medicines found in cherries, such as the anthocyanins that reduce inflammation for arthritis sufferers. According to the warped FDA logic that now seems to be standard, when cherry growers post scientific information about the health benefits of their cherries, they magically transform their cherries into drugs and therefore, as drugs, they must have FDA approval in order to sell them in the United States.
The FDA says a cherry is a drugNow, any normal, sane person would look at a cherry and say, “It’s just a cherry.” It’s a natural fruit that people have been eating for as long as anyone can remember. But the FDA, in light of the fact that people are now discovering that cherries are actually good medicine, looks at a cherry and says (paraphrasing), “No, it’s a drug, and you have to have our permission to market it, and if you continue to talk about the health benefits of cherries, we will use our power to put you out of business.”
I’ve often talked about the tyranny of the FDA and its campaign to censor the scientific truth about the healing benefits of natural foods, including cherries and many other items. This event demonstrates perfectly well the sinister nature of the FDA, which clearly intends to restrict the spread of knowledge about cherries and thereby protect the profits of anti-inflammatory drugs that treat joint pain. If Americans knew the true power of cherries to reduce inflammation, you see, the sales of anti-inflammatory drugs might plummet, and the criminal drug pushers who run organized medicine today can't allow that to happen. Hence, censorship and oppression of scientific information are the tactics used to keep the American people ignorant and, therefore, controlled.
Because it's not just cherries that contain powerful medicine, you see. It's blueberries, garlic, cabbage, onions, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, aloe vera, almonds and a thousand other natural foods and medicinal herbs. If the public understood the true healing power of these foods -- and the powerful medicines they contain -- conventional medicine and all its drug-pushing participants would suddenly be irrelevant and bankrupt.
That's what the drug pushers absolutely cannot allow to happen, and that's why the American people must be kept ignorant at all costs, even if it means engaging in book burning, armed raids on alternative medicine clinics, and jackbooted censorship of simple truths that might empower people to take charge of their own health. It is the most insidious use of power by any federal agency because its aim is ignorance, not education. It seeks to isolate people from information that might save them in order to control them, and it is the same tactic used by every evil regime in world history, including Nazi Germany. It also makes the FDA the single greatest threat to the health and safety of the American people, far outweighing the threat of terrorism in terms of the number of people harmed or killed. (See "Statistics prove prescription drugs are 16,400% more deadly than terrorists")
So I’m just curious; are cherry growers who distribute scientific information now going to be arrested as cherry traffickers? Will people start smuggling cherries across borders so that their customers can benefit from the healing effects of these natural foods? Will the FDA raid cherry orchards with guns drawn like it did Dr. Jonathan Wright’s clinic in Seattle many years ago? Will cherry growers be arrested and tried on crimes of making health claims or illegally marketing unapproved drugs?
These things were once thought of as being ridiculous. The very idea that a natural food could be outlawed was once considered a joke. Now it is one step closer to reality as this tyrannical organization, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is censoring scientific information on the health benefits of cherries and using its power to threaten cherry growers into silence.
More nonsense from the FDAAmazingly, the FDA doesn’t claim to disagree with the scientific information about cherries. Instead, it says that cherries “have not been recognized as safe and effective when used as labeled.” And as the Life Extension Foundation explains, the FDA’s interpretation of the law means that cherry growers are “engaged in criminal conduct by relaying findings that have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals.”
So now publishing information makes you a criminal even if that information is scientifically sound and widely known to be absolutely true. If this isn't a blatant violation of the First Amendment, I don't know what is. Where's the Electronic Freedom Foundation on this issue? Isn't this a clear case where the tyranny of the FDA should be openly challenged by champions of Free Speech?
Cherries are now, according to the FDA, not recognized as safe and effective when used "as labeled." I’m just curious, what does the label of cherries say about using it? Does it say, “Eat me?” Because that's what we should all be saying to the FDA right now, as it is an agency immersed in such absolute nonsense that even fools can see the emperor has no clothes. To say a cherry is a drug and then threaten cherry growers with drug crimes is something ripped right out of the pages of 1984 and its Ministry of Truth. (See Wikipedia to learn more.)
In terms of genuine authority, the FDA is nothing short of an utter joke and an embarrassment to the American people. Unfortunately, it still has power, and it is exploiting that power to threaten cherry growers with criminal prosecution for doing what people have done for countless generations on this earth, which is to grow their own fruits and eat those fruits while enjoying their many benefits.
Do not tolerate unjust authorityGandhi once initiated the Salt March to Dandi (the "Salt Satyagraha") in defiance of the tyrannical salt taxation rules of the occupying British government, and there he and his followers intentionally violated the law by harvesting salt from the waters. It was a practice that had been carried out for centuries by the people there, and one that provides essential minerals for human health. Gandhi’s defiance may teach us something very important about modern times, and that is that when a law is so unjust as to stand in violation of fundamental human rights, it is not only the right, but the duty of individuals to stand in firm opposition to that law and to challenge whatever authority unjustly imposes that law upon the people.
The FDA operates today much like the occupying British in 20th century India, oppressing the people, outlawing natural traditions like salt harvesting in order to control a monopoly market, silencing dissent, and threatening any organization or individual that challenges its power. The FDA, as it exists today, is an organization of tyranny and injustice that simply has no place in a free society.
That’s why I believe it is time for growers of cherries, fruits, vegetables and other healing foods to take a stand against the FDA. Stand firm against oppression and censorship, and stand up for your right to tell the truth about the healing benefits of your natural products. The FDA’s reclassification of cherry growers as criminals is a violation of every system of law and ethics that we’ve known on this planet. It is a violation of natural law, it is a violation of God’s law, and it is a violation of basic human rights, which include the right to grow and eat food and share that food with your neighbors along with information about what those foods can do to nourish them.
The FDA would like to imagine that it is the ultimate authority over all things health related and that only it can approve what words we might use to describe the fruits and vegetables we share with our neighbors. And as such, the FDA is an entity of ignorance and evil that actually seeks to de-educate the American people, and the day of outing the criminals who currently operate the FDA is long overdue. This is an agency whose decision makers need to be immediately arrested and tried for their crimes against humanity. It is an agency that demands wholesale reform from top to bottom and that must eliminate its obvious conflicts of interest and its desire to protect the pharmaceutical industry. It must be reformed with a new mission that it should have been following all along: To protect the health of the people it is supposed to serve.
End the tyranny of the FDAIf you're an American voter, one of the best ways to protect your health freedom, which is clearly under assault by the Food and Drug Administration as well as other disease-promoting interest groups, is to support the Health Freedom Protection Act (HR4282). It is a bill that will allow organizations like cherry growers to tell the truth about their products, as long as that truth is based on sound science. It would allow cherry growers, for example, to reference the published scientific studies that report on the healing benefits of the phytochemicals found in cherries.
It is a shame that in this country we even need such a bill, but we do need it, because the level of censorship, oppression, and tyranny now practiced by the FDA has reached its apex, and we must fight back with legislation that ends the tyranny of the Food and Drug Administration and reinforces our right to access information that can help us live happier, healthier and longer lives. Support the Health Freedom Protection Act (HR4282) by writing your representatives in Congress and voicing your opinion. Also visit the Life Extension Foundation, publishers of Life Extension Magazine, which contributed to this report.
Finally, refuse to live as a slave of conventional medicine and the FDA for another day. Demand health freedom and settle for nothing less than the ending of this age of medical tyranny that seeks to turn us all -- you, your parents, your children and preschoolers -- into ignorant, drug-induced consumers who will never know true freedom, nor true health. Perhaps the greatest legacy that we can pass on to our children is the ending of this medical McCarthyism and the unfolding of a new golden age of health freedom. Stay active and informed, and do not let ignorance and oppression prevail.

# 103 Soy - Soy and Why to Avoid It

If You're Suffering From a Medical Problem Caused by Soy, you May Now be Able to Take Legal Action!

The Weston A. Price Foundation is undertaking a new initiative to investigate instances and arrange possible legal assistance for individuals who believe that they or their child may have suffered serious physical or medical consequences as a result of ingesting one or more products containing soy.
A growing body of credible medical and dietary research suggests that soy products may cause adverse medical and developmental conditions in susceptible persons, especially children -- who in some instances may be affected by soy products consumed either by themselves (for instance, in baby formula) or by their mothers prior to giving birth.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is exploring the causal connection between soy and various serious conditions --in the list below. They have also sought out competent attorneys in the United States and elsewhere, who may develop medical evidence in a number of these cases to pursue damages or other appropriate remedies against the manufacturers and sellers of soy products.
If you would like to participate in these efforts, you are urged to contact the Weston A. Price Foundation at westonaprice_soy@verizon.net. Upon receipt of your e-mail, you will be forwarded via e-mail with attachments, a questionnaire and release form. You are urged to complete the questionnaire, fully and honestly, to the best of your ability. Also, please sign and return the medical authorization(s) along with the questionnaire, in the event possible relevant medical records are needed in those cases that warrant further investigation. Mailing address and fax number will be provided to you with the questionnaire.
PLEASE BE ADVISED that not all of these potential claims can or will be pursued, even if it has been determined that you or your child may have suffered some adverse effects from the consumption of soy products. It may be too late under applicable state laws to pursue some claims; and in other cases, the parties responsible for your condition may not be adequately identified, or the recoverable damages may not warrant pursuit of the responsible parties.
However, if you would like a preliminary investigation of the circumstances of your potential claim, without cost or obligation to you, then promptly contact westonaprice_soy@verizon.net. By taking these steps you may receive assistance in this matter, if your inquiry develops evidence of corporate responsibility for your medical problems or those of your child.
Please forward this e-mail to anyone you think may have an interest, including other e-mail lists that you belong to.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Finally, now there may be legal repercussions that could be taken against the dangerous effects of the once thought "healthy" food, soy.
I have posted several articles in the past detailing the various dangers of soy products. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems with the widespread acceptance of soy is the billions of advertising dollars of influence in the edible oil industry, that is involved with heavily promoting soy’s use in the natural medical circles, so its use can be then promoted in the general medical public.
They have even been able to fool otherwise knowledgeable natural medicine doctors.
These actions by Weston A. Price Foundation are huge in not only addressing the growing epidemic of people suffering from reactions from taking soy products, but also allowing them to explore possible legal assistance.
I have a lot of faith in the Weston A. Price foundation and in their lobbying efforts to warn other consumers against the dangers of modern soy food and their goal to get soy formula taken off the shelves in the marketplace.
If soy products have adversely affected you or if you know of anybody who has consumed a lot of soy and has experienced negative side effects, I would strongly encourage that you read this article and then take the appropriate steps to begin a preliminary investigation of your circumstances and potential claim.

# 102 FrankenRice: Its on the way - Here it Comes

Thought I was kidding in my prior posts! Read my # 90, # 89,# 68, and the ones about soy beans.This insanity needs to stop immediately. Did send a protest on this, but I understand that March 30,2007, is the cut-off date to protest.
Talker
........................................................................................

Dear Reader,
Here's a dish that's sure to appeal to consumers: Human Genes 'n' Rice!
Come on now - admit it - how many times have you sat down to a bowl of steaming rice and thought, "This would sure go great with some human genes!"
How many? Zero times? I'm with you all the way. In fact, I expect that just about nobody could warm up to the idea of eating a genetically modified (GM) plant that contains human genes.
Here's the good news: These plants aren't actually grown for human consumption.
Here's the bad news: These plants exist, and when the wind blows their seeds, there's no telling where they might go.
-------- Have your "golden tickets" ready ---------------------------
Earlier this month, the USDA gave Ventria Bioscience (a California biotech company) preliminary approval to plant more than 3,000 acres of rice engineered with human genes that produce proteins found in breast milk. But this rice won't be sold to consumers - the proteins will be extracted and used for a medication that treats children with diarrhea. And that's the whole point: Growing the proteins is more efficient and less costly than manufacturing synthetic versions.
In a recent NutraIngredients-USA article titled "GM: A Healthy Debate," Jess Halliday noted that using genetically modified crops to improve human health might be the "golden ticket" that will finally convince a wary public that tinkering with genes in our food supply is just fine after all. So far, the general public isn't convinced this tinkering is safe. Ms. Halliday describes our cautious attitude like this: "turning their noses up like petulant toddlers."
That's got to be a new low in condescension. Especially given the fact that just a few days later another NutraIngredients-USA article noted that a variety of GM corn had produced liver and kidney toxicity in rats.
If I turn up my nose at potential kidney and liver toxicity, am I behaving like a petulant toddler? I suppose I am if there's a GM crop that will treat kidney and liver failure.
----------------------- Show me ------------------------------------
If the final USDA approval goes through, Ventria will plant more 450 acres of their Human Genes 'n' Rice this spring. That planting will be done in Kansas, but definitely not Missouri. Why not Missouri?
Interesting story.
Ventria originally proposed to plant its crop in the Show Me State, but that didn't sit well with beer maker Anheuser-Busch, which happens to be the largest rice buyer in the U.S. Anheuser-Busch executives threatened to purchase all their rice outside Missouri if Ventria went forward with the planting, so Ventria took its strange rice to Kansas.
Now why would Anheuser-Busch execs draw a line in the Missouri dirt? Because they were concerned about human-gene rice contaminating the crops that provide rice for their beer. But a line in the dirt (such as the long line that separates Kansas and Missouri) won't stop a rice crop from wandering.
Long story short: You can't contain nature, and you can't keep a plant engineered with human genes neatly contained in a single field.
------------------- Just say "NO!" --------------------------------------------
As I mentioned above, Ventria's green light for planting their Human Genes 'n' Rice is preliminary. If enough people voice their concerns about this Frankenfood, the USDA may be persuaded to step back and tread more carefully before they allow human genes to be grown in a crop that's typically grown for food.
But here's the catch: The public comment period for this issue ends tomorrow. So if you'd like to voice your opposition to this human gene "experiment," the time to speak up is now.
You can get specific information about how to give the USDA a piece of your mind at Michele Cagan's HSI On the Spot blog, which you'll find at the link below. Just look for her March 21, 2007, posting, titled "Stop Rice Pharming!!"

101 Fries, Thighs & Lies: Why you might want to read this

While I have not , as yet, read the book, what is said in her write-up, regards fats, is right on target.
..................................................................

Nutritionist attacks the food pyramid as an outdated monument to marketing.
BY Nancy Maes
Special to the Tribune
( Q - section 13 - Sunday March 25,2007 )
Deborah Arneson had a rude awakening when she started counseling people on how to lose weight based on everything she had been taught about the food pyramid and realizedthey were gaining weight instead. The licensed clinical nutritionistchronicles her experience in
demystifying the misinformation about diets and details a more effective way to slim down in her book :'
Fries, Thighs, and Lies" ( ISBN 1591201942 at Amazon )
(Basic Health Publications,$14.95).
Arneson discovered the major flaw in her early advice when she toured the headquarters of the American Dietetic Association, which was asked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to turn the four food groups into a well-balanced diet. The result was the 1992 food pyramid and then the 2005 MyPyramid."The ADA has a wall that is about 30 feet long and about 6 feet high that lists all the food vendors that support the association," Arneson recalled. "There can't be much truth in information when all these people are feeding the coffers of the ADA."She concluded that "the pyramid is not a safe place to find information for a diet. lf you eat the food-pyramid way, you will eventually look like a pyramid and be small on the top and large on the bottom with thunder thighs."So what's a self-respecting nutritionist to do? Arneson found the answer on a trip to a village in India. "I saw women in their 60s, 70s and80s who looked 20 to 30 years younger. Their cheeks were full, their eyes were shining bright, their hair was hardly gray and they were very limber," she recalled. She discovered they were simmering fish, lamb and chicken in sesame and coconut oil and eating avocados off the trees."They were eating a lot of fat, and the women were all lean, so when I got back to Chicago, instead of recommending 30 to 35 percent healthy fat a day, I recommended 50 percent, and the fat on my patients started melting away."Arneson's book includes the three pyramids for proteins, fats and carbohydrates divided into the good, the bad and the ugly that she developed. The "good" are reflected in the foods Arneson may eat on a typical day: a protein drink that includes a tablespoon of coconut oil and a tablespoon of Healthy Balance oil for breakfast; hummus and rice crackers for a mid-morning snack; lemon Parmesan organic chicken and teriyaki broccoli for lunch; a sliver of goat cheese and grapes in midafternoon; homemade chicken sausage with peas and green beans for dinner; half an avocado before bedtime; and plenty of water, which is not in the pyramid. But Arneson admits that when the waterpipes broke at her office, her pipes froze at home and she had a medical emergency in her family she went to McDonald's and had a small chocolate milkshake and fries. In self-defense she said, "There are not four food groups, there are two food groups. There are physical health foods to stay lean, but some-times you need mental-health foods to make you feel good."

# 100 CDC Finally Admits Vacines & Autism Link

CDC Finally Admits Autism is a Greater Danger to Your Children

A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, considered the most complete assessment of autism to date, has found that the number of children who have an autism disorder is significantly higher than had been previously thought, and could be as high as one out of every 150 children.
Earlier estimates judged the incidence of autism disorders to be 1 in 166 children. But those estimates were based on smaller studies and used different study methods.
These findings may add further fuel to the growing debate over thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that was used in infant vaccines up until six years ago, and is still used in flu shots.
For the new report, researchers used data from a multiyear, multistate study of 8-year-olds who were identified as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD includes autism, PDD-NOS (pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified) and Asperger's disorder.
These disorders are characterized by problems with language and communication, often accompanied by repetitive or unusual behaviors, and generally begin before age 3, although they may not be diagnosed until later.
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report February 9, 2007
USA Today February 9, 2007

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
After this sobering report by the CDC, conventional medicine can't turn its collective backs on autism any more, as it has for a long, long time. The incidence of autism is even higher in some states than the national average; in New Jersey, more than one out of every 100 children suffers from an autism disorder.
Despite the evidence, however, CDC Director Julie Gerberding remains skeptical autism rates are really rising, citing "better studies" as a possible reason for the uptick -- although the results of each successive study are grimmer than the previous ones.
The most important number parents need to remember when it comes to vaccinating your children is 27.
Children were 27 times more likely to develop autism when given three vaccines containing thimerosal, the mercury-based vaccine preservative, and far less so when it was removed from them, according to studies posted here three years ago.
If you remain skeptical about the vaccine-autism link, I urge you to review a pair of interesting reports that go far toward explaining why the Amish haven't experienced autism like the rest of America.
On Vital Votes, reader Josh from Vista, California adds:
"It is sad that the government, the Rx companies and society for that matter cannot see how vaccines are one of the causes of [autism] ... .
"I know lots of families and friends that have chosen not to give vaccines to their kids (I live in CA so it is much easier as they have a philosophical exemption option) and their kids are fine. As well, I have one friend in particular that lives in [Massachusetts] that got their child vaccinated. Their child was a vibrant, loving and energetic expression of life, until the vaccinations. Now, she is autistic."At the same time, even though autism, vaccinations, etc are such an issue, I look at handicapped, autistic, mentally retarded children as higher evolved human beings that are here to teach us. Not us to teach them. That is just my belief!"

# 98 Liquid Candy Breakfast Fad

Liquid Candy Becoming the Preferred Breakfast Drink

Soft drinks are being consumed outside the home as part of breakfast at a rapidly increasing rate, the amount nearly doubling over the past 15 years. Over the same period, outside-the-home coffee consumption with breakfast has fallen nearly 25 percent.
A soft drink is currently ordered with a breakfast meal more than 15 percent of the time, compared to 7.9 percent of the time in 1990. Just under two-thirds of that 15 percent have a regular soda, and the rest order diet.
Between 1990 and the present, breakfast coffee orders have dropped from 48.7 percent to 38 percent.
Soda for breakfast has also become more common for those who eat the meal at home, rising from 0.5 percent in 1985 to 2.4 percent in 2006.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Here's yet another reason soft drinks have become the leading source of calories for Americans and a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. The trends and the numbers are so striking, some business experts wonder why soft drinks giants like Coca-Cola even bother trying to compete with coffeehouse chains like Starbucks by adding a coffee-flavored line of beverages.
And if you think diet sodas are the answer, you should know that the artificial sugary chemicals they contain aren't doing your health any favors, either.
Just consider all the nasty things soft drinks do to harm your health in addition to obesity:
Damage your liver
Create mental health problems
Expose your body to toxic levels of benzene
Increase the risk of nearly every chronic disease known to man by raising your insulin levels
Increase your rate of aging
Fortunately, one of the best ways to optimize your health -- making the switch to clean fresh water -- is also one of the easiest. If you have trouble breaking this health-harming habit, consider learning Turbo Tapping, a variation of the effective Emotional Freedom Technique.
Folks, there just simply isn't any excuse for drinking soda, ever. If you are drinking soda this is one of the easiest steps you can IMMEDIATELY take toward moving yourself in the direction of health and wellness. This one simple measure will really accelerate your path toward healing.
After all if you are going to have sugar there are simply so many better ways to consume it than drinking it.
And if you are drinking diet soda you probably haven't watched my videos on them, or are among the millions who sincerely desire to break their diet soda addiction, but have been unsuccessful after repeated attempts. It is vital that you watch these videos and consider the free resource Turbo Tapping.
On Vital Votes, reader Marianne from Belleville, Michigan adds:
"I can believe it. I was addicted to diet pepsi for years. Even while consuming a whole foods diet otherwise, it took me a long time to give it up. I was convinced without it I would 'have' to eat sugar. I actually do not crave sugar as much now.
"I think the aspartame itself is very addictive. At least it was for me. The withdrawal is just as hard as coming off sugar. I remember, I just gave it up just a month ago! I think this is the fifth or sixth time I have sworn off aspartame, but it is the most successful I have ever been.
"I just want to encourage those who think they can't give it up, you really can. Like any other addiction (and I've had my share) you have to keep quitting."

# 97 Latest - Spicy - Cancer Fighter

One of my long time used herbs, is " Cayenne". Use of "hot" peppers goes back many years with me. I also carry "red pepper" as I call it, with me at all times, for emergency uses. Have two copies of Dr John Christophers' book, "School Of Natural Healing". ( enter 1879436019 in Amazon search to order it ) Needed the second copy as my first copy was starting to show its age. Many other herbs are covered in the book, not only Cayenne, and how to use them. A top notch source book on herbs and health.

More Revelations About The Latest Spicy Cancer Fighter

Scientists have discovered the secret behind the ability of spicy foods to kill cancer cells. Capsaicin, which is found in jalapeno peppers, attacks the mitochondria of cancerous cells.
Vanilloids, a family of molecules that includes capsaicin, bind to mitochondrial proteins in cancer cells to trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death), without causing harm to healthy cells. The biochemistry of cancer cell mitochondria is significantly different from that of normal cells.
To determine this, capsaicin was tested on cultures of human lung and pancreatic cancer cells.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications January 2, 2007
BBC News January 9, 2007

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
The list of foods that exhibit medicinal properties is extensive. Certain foods, such as garlic, have a long and storied history of use for a variety of ailments. Even the tasty blueberry has turned out to be one of the healthier foods nature has to offer.
The capsaicin found in red chili peppers and other spicy foods is another well-known food component with healing properties. While its most common use has been as a component in topical creams for joint pain, it may also be capable of helping to lower insulin levels. But the good news has just kept on coming regarding the potential of capsaicin as a natural treatment for such severe illnesses as type 1 diabetes and cancer.
The lead researcher on this latest study is so sure of the benefits that he believes using capsaicin this way has uncovered, perhaps, a universal "Achilles heel" for all cancers.
And, considering capsaicin and other vanilloids are common in the average diet, researchers believe it may be possible that a diet richer in spicy foods could be prescribed one day for cancer patients or those at risk.
Just more evidence -- if you really needed any more of it -- that the foods you eat greatly influence your health.
On Vital Votes, Ray from Bloomington, Indiana adds:
"Ever hear of the late Dr John Christopher, master herbalist? I heard him speak, about 20 years ago, about the miracle cures available from a host of herbs/spices. His absolute #1 'go-to' herb is/was cayenne pepper, one of the hottest. Says he stopped a heart attack dead in its tracks with it. Used it to stop bleeding also. "There are many other wonder herbs as well: echinacea, garlic, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano (extremely potent antimicrobial), ginger root, cilantro, parsley, lobelia and so many more."

# 96 Dogs Sniffing To Detect Cancer

The Erickson Tribune.
Dogs trained in cancer-sniffing. Smell has often been a warning sign of illness: Hippocrates-the father of modern medicine-described the fruity odor of diabetes in the breath.Now scientists are using dogs' enhanced sense of smell test for various types of cancer. Dogs are being tested for their ability to detect melanoma on the skin, breast cancer in breath, and prostate cancer in urine. In one trial, British scientists trained dogs to sniff for bladder cancer in 54 samples of human urine. They were about 41% accurate: not a very high accuracy rate, but high enough to have experts interested. One of the main reasons for the interest is to use dogs as cancer detectors in poor countries, where CT scans and even Pap smears are unavailable.

# 95 DNA Database Open To Genealogists and The Public

DNA database open to the public. Amateur genealogists can use it to trace their ancestry for free. A major DNA database is opening its doors to amateur genealogists. People who want to use DNA to trace their maternal ancestors will be able to turn to the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation of Salt Lake City, with its database of more than 5000 samples of mitochondrial DNA. Unlike Y-chromosome DNA, which is inherited by sons from their fathers, mitochondrial DNA is passed from mothers to both male and female children. So mitochondrial DNA is especially valuable to women, who have no other direct method to search their family histories through their genes.
The foundation is the creation of Utah philanthropist James Levoy Sorenson.
One day in the future, I'd like to run a check on my ancestors. I would like to know more of the family, from my mother's side. My father's side is pretty well documented, but I may even check his out also.

# 93 FDA - Cancer and Vitamin C Tests ( updated 1-19-07 )

The good, the bad and the fake. Or perhaps I should say the manipulated. In the Chicago Tribune, January 1 1, 2007, an article stated:
"FDA OKs trial on vitamin C for Cancer" .
Based on my type of research, many prior cancer trials were highly manipulated, to prevent favorable results with using alternative methods for oncologic medical care. The one ray of hope here, is the company doing the trials. That company is "Cancer Treatment Centers of America". CTCA is a privately held for-profit company, with much to gain, if successful. "Cancer Treatment Centers' facilities differ from most cancer care centers in that they provide traditional inpatient and outpatient chemotherapy and surgical care, as well as non-traditional services such as acupuncture, massage and nutrition therapies." I must admit that I have not checked out this company. For the sake of many cancer patients, I hope these cancer "trials" are successful. What this company will be doing, is, "studying the potential of intravenous vitamin C as a cancer treatment". From what I have read, this is already an "underground successful" protocol in "alternative medicine". The only down side of the story is, who will be receiving this trial protocol, and I quote "only patients who have exhausted all other conventional treatment options are eligible to receive the therapy". From other research reading, and as I see it, and to put it more bluntly, if the orthodox medical profession has given up hope for you, then and only then, do you qualify for this type of trial protocol. That is sad. The only mitigating factor here, would be, for a while, an improved quality of remaining life for these patients. Statistically speaking, and without hard numbers to back it up, only 20% will actually overcome their cancer, under these harsh conditions. Even this is a step forward, as, these, first FDA approved trial protocols, legitimately conducted, by a private company, will prove, to be beneficial in the long run.The FDA confirmed Cancer Treatment Centers' investigational new drug application, but would not comment further.Some more blunt talk here, don't give up hope, there are many protocols available that can be beneficial. These are mentioned in other posts, on this blog, that you might want to check out.From what I have read, ones emotional level, is of the utmost importance when fighting any major illness. For this, you might want to check out the postings, about EFT, on this blog.
I managed to loose the source for the following , it was to be a companion article to the above. It was to relate the costs currently involved for cancer treatment. There were no figures shown for the vitamin C trials mentioned above, that would eventually reach the user. But the info I misplaced, showed that Avastin sales would reach SEVEN BILLION dollars a year ,by the year 2009. One years supply of Avastin for cancer treatment, is $100,000.00, Depending on ones insurance , their cost would range from $10,000 to $20,000 a year. What I found with research, was that the ones life span could be extended by three to six months with the new therapy! With use of the Vitamin C therapy, costs would not even get near the amounts shown for Avastin, and more importantly, could actually rid one of the cancer, without taking ones life. From what I read, if a tumor is reduced in size with conventional cancer treatment, ( even if the patient died ) it is considered a success! What ones does not get told is that tumors are actually 80 % to 90% normal, but rapidly growing cells, and the remaining 10% to 20% of the cells cancerous. From what I've have further read, is that chemo and radiation, are very effective in also destroying normal cells. So as I see it, if all this is true, "many non-cancerous cells" are destroyed, with only a small percentage of the "cancerous cells' being destroyed. Naturally the tumor would be reduced under these conditions. Check it out, in the book "Cancer- Step Outside The Box", if you are coping with a cancer condition.

# 92 My Book Sources For Psychic and Health Reading

My book reading is quite varied. Do some what go with the mindwindow, I'm looking through, for a given interest cycle.There is a huge amount of rehashed material published, that gives me pause. So I try to get as far back as possible, to an original version of what I'm researching / looking for. Over the course of years in doing so, have found certain sources that became a good starting point. Besides Amazon, I frequently use these:

http://www.woodlandpublishing.com/page/home

http://www.healthresearchbooks.com/

http://arebookstore.com/Default.asp?

http://www.redwingbooks.com/

Health Research Books goes back a long time with me, dating back to the original owners. They make copies of many titles,that are out of print, many of which I have. Worth your while to check them out. The A.R.E. , is also an old time source, and is set up around Edgar Cayce's material. You will find a title atWoodland Publishing, called "The Ultimate Healing System" by Donald Lepore, a worthwhile addition to have. The books that Redwing Book Company lists, will blow you away with the scope of listings there. Was the only source for some titles I needed.


An added bonus here from J.J..
My above listings were from much earlier days.
Thanks

# 91 Breast Cancer and Bras

In a book entitled "Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras.", by Sidney Singer, and Soma Grismaijer, some interesting, but startling statistics are shown.
----------Amazon shows the book as 1930858051---------------------------

Women wearing a bra 24 hours a day had a 3 in 4 chance of developing breast cancer.

Women wearing their bras from more than 12 hours a day, but not to bed, had a 1 in 7 chance of developing breast cancer.

Women wearing bras less than 12 hours a day had a 1 in 152 chance of developing breast cancer.

Women who rarely or never wore bras, had a 1 in 168 chance of developing breast cancer.

-------------------------------------------------

Am now rereading the book "Cancer: Step Outside The Box" by Ty M. Bollinger, and is where the above information came from.
( Next will be the book, Dressed To Kill.... )

Amazon shows the Bollinger book as 0978806506

The book by Bollinger, is filled with information, that I was unaware of, and should benefit, anyone needing this info.

# 90 FrankenFoods In Your Future ! New Wave of Illness !

FrankinHumans and FrankenFoods. Getting to be quite the mixture. New humans, and new foods are no longer in the future. And as I see it, the new human, (if the current insanity continues) is about three generations away. I'm not predicting doom and gloom, but a new wave of illnesses, that will be shocking. The Franken foods are already here, and are contributing to what I call the FrankinHumans that are about three generations away. Go ahead, laugh, shake your head, but it is happening. Items in our food chain are stripped of valuable nutrients that can insure health, and are replaced with cheap substitutes that contribute to a lack of good health. Apparently, there are not enough people suffering from a lack of good health. So some companies with concerns for the bottom line, are introducing new products for you, that are far from their original state. Keep in mind now, that the closer to its original state (use common sense here) a food product is, the healthier it is for you. People are urged to read the label, to see what the ingredients are. And here is where the problem commences. Our alphabet government agencies, do not want us to know what is in our food, in the form of genetically modified organisms (GMO). So instead of labeling our food products with a GMO label to help you choose, "what is good for you", they simply say "people won't buy, if they see the label "GMO". The same applies with "cloned"meat. I think the choice should be ours to make. Other posts have information on how to regain that right.
Talker

Here is an article of interest:
Dear Reader, "I do not want to eat cloned animals!" That's the title of a petition I received in my e-mail in-box last week. The first thing I thought was: I do not want to eat cloned animals here, I do not want to eat cloned animals there, I do not want to eat cloned animals ANY where! In fact, you and I and most everyone else will probably never eat meat or drink milk that comes directly from a cloned animal. But that doesn't mean there's no cause for concern. ------------------------------------------- Getting satisfaction ------------------------------------------- When it comes to farming, I'm not quite the Eva Gabor character in Green Acres, but I'm close to that end of the farming spectrum. What I don't know about animal husbandry is a lot. So when it was recently announced that FDA experts decided it's safe to eat food produced by cloned animals, I couldn't help but wonder why a farmer would go to the trouble and expense of cloning when animals have done a pretty good job of the reproductive thing for eons. Turns out I was right about the expense - a single cloning procedure can cost as much as $170,000. And I was also right about the reproductive abilities of animals - cloning isn't meant to take the place of doing what comes naturally. Because cloning is for rock stars. The whole point of cloning a farm animal is to produce what the Associated Press (AP) calls a "rock star" breeder. Once you've determined that an animal is a naturally prodigious breeder that tends to produce offspring that are healthy, tender, and delicious, if you clone that animal a few times you'll have a stable of breeders that will live the life of Mick Jagger, but without the number one hits and the grueling tour schedule. And at a cost of $170,000 per carbon copy, you can be sure that none of these animals will end up on the dining room table. But most of their offspring will. So the key question is: Are future generations spawned by rock star breeders safe to eat? The FDA says yes. But once again we're relying on the best guess of experts. Only after years of public consumption will we be able to say with certainty that there's no subtle wrinkle hidden in the DNA that will do us harm. Experts once told us that cigarettes soothed the throat. How'd that work out? ------------------------------------------- Choices made difficult ------------------------------------------- When this news about the FDA seal of approval for cloning hit the media, one television commentator dismissed fears by pointing out that if you don't want to eat cloned animals, just choose meat from non-clone sources. Simple! Just one problem: The FDA will not require special labeling for milk or meat products that come from cloned livestock, according to a National Geographic report. After all, FDA experts have already determined it will be safe to eat. So why bother with a label? This isn't really a surprise, of course. The FDA allows meat products to be treated with carbon monoxide (to improve color) without any special labeling. And there's no point in looking for a label note that lets you know your chops have come from animals that were given growth hormones and antibiotics. You can assume that's the norm, unless you're fortunate enough to get your meat products fresh from a local farmer. And speaking of hormones, one of the complaints about meat from cloned animals is that the cloning process requires higher levels of hormones. That's according to representatives for the Center for Food Safety, who also told National Geographic that the FDA has not addressed the fact that cloning tends to prompt higher rates of birth defects and disease among cloned animals. We're still several years away from the day when products from cloned animals reach grocery shelves. So there's plenty of time to ask hard questions and share awareness of potential problems. If you'd like to sign the "I do not want to eat cloned animals!" petition, you can find it at thepetitionsite.com. ****************************************************

In the e-Alert "Getting Played" (1/2/07), I told you how patients with schizophrenia are typically deficient in vitamin B-3 (also known as niacin). In some cases, patients respond quite favorably to high doses of the vitamin. When I sent you that e-Alert, HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., was out of town, but upon his return he sent me this additional information, along with a fascinating personal story: "The link between B-3 and schizophrenia is not well known except for those in complementary medicine. The response, however, can be remarkable, though it can take as much as 30,000 milligrams (30 grams) of B-3 in difficult cases. "Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, is the master of this, and has been since the 1950's. He discovered that Canadian POW's from WWII (who were held in the 'black hole of Calcutta') all came back with mental problems, and all had what to him looked like symptoms of pellagra (B-3 deficiency). He theorized that their abominable diet during the war ruined an enzyme that utilized B-3, mandating (now) far higher doses to get the same effect that a few mg would do in a normal person. "Each POW became normal, but could not discontinue the treatment. They were 'successfully treated,' but not 'cured.' "Hoffer later treated my sister, a schizophrenic who had been written off and permanently institutionalized. My parents were told she'd never be a useful, productive member of society. She ended up graduating law school and passing the bar. "Hoffer found that the hallucinations disappeared when the patient was properly treated. However, long-term schizophrenics tend to acclimate to their hallucinatory world, and then need counseling to acquaint them with the new 'normal' (which to them is abnormal, though it now agrees with our perceptions)." As I mentioned in last week's e-Alert, Dr. Hoffer's book "Vitamin B-3 and Schizophrenia: Discovery, Recovery, Controversy" can be found on amazon.com. To Your Good Health, Jenny Thompson

# 89 Biotechnology Insanity and FrankenHumans

I went to the site and viewed the movie about GMO & GMF. What I saw, falls into a category of TOTAL INSANITY. What you see is a wake up call readers. The outcome presented in the video, if taken to the extreme is saying: Your children and pets, have eaten our GMO products, and according to the patent laws, and detection of "our patented products" through blood tests, in your children and pets, they are now "our property, unless you pay us a royalty".
NOW THAT IS WILD AND TOTAL INSANITY, SANCTIONED BY PATENT LAW !

How Monsanto Manipulates the System to Poison Your Health

Sir Richard Doll was a British cancer specialist who died last year. He was noted for making the connection between smoking and lung cancer. But for years,20 he was being paid as a consultant by Monsanto, a fact not revealed in his reports.
Sir Richard Doll told a commission investigating Monsanto's Agent Orange that there was no evidence that the chemical increased risks of cancer and genetic defects. He did not mention that he was being paid $1,500 a day by Monsanto at the time.
Monsanto has used similar paid shills and other techniques to propagandize the safety of genetically modified food, aspartame, and other products, including wrecking the careers of scientists who discover problems with their products.
When Dr. Arpad Pusztai conducted studies showing that rats fed on certain GM potatoes had suffered stunted growth and damage to the immune system, liver, and heart, he was suspended from his job, ordered to hand over all his data, and threatened with legal action if he spoke to anyone on the subject.
Can You Really Trust Monsanto? -- How They Corrupted Science

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
The behind-the-scenes business tactics used by Monsanto to poison our foods with genetically modified (GM) replacements make the multi-national drug companies look like Mother Teresa. This frightening story from David Icke.com describes one of the primary strategies behind Monsanto's successful business practices:
Confusing the argument against GM foods, for example, by peppering the debate with "science-speak" to muddy any clear representation of the facts before the hazards are ever realized.
Part and parcel of this strategy and Monsanto's success has been finding "independent" scientists willing to sell the company line, like the late Sir Richard Doll, who was paid handsomely to defend such monstrosities as Agent Orange.
But if, like Dr. Arpad Pusztai, you were on the wrong side of the debate, you would find your career in a shambles thanks to Monsanto's multi-national influence.
Above all, don't be confused about the global GM blight that taints some 70 percent of the processed foods you find at your corner grocery store. Before you go shop for foods again, do your homework by reviewing my tips for staying clear of GM foods.
And I urge you to watch the video The Future of Food. This in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind genetically modified foods is one of the best documentaries I have ever viewed. It will help you understand the very real threat that ALL future generations face as a result of genetic engineering.
On Vital Votes, reader Moira from Alabama outlines the roots of the problem:
"The problem is that corporations like Monsanto have too much money!! The corporate form of business is not beneficial to society. It allows for the accumulation of too much money without accountability. This money buys power and influence. Individuals can't have the same influence on our world (unless very united) as corporations.
"There is no democracy with corporations.
"Furthermore, I think it is time we citizens vote on the issues ourselves without having a 'representative' to deal with. This would eliminate corporate influence. The technology is there which would make this possible.
"Because of corporations we don't have clean air, water or food. These should be a 'given.' The Senator from my state always votes for big business against the environment, etc. I would think if individuals could vote on issues themselves, the environment, etc. would stand a better chance of surviving."

# 88 Angels Don't Play This HAARP

Would be interesting to have health statistics, that date from the inception of programs of this nature. Hope some one does pick up on doing so. A side effect of programs of this nature, as I see it, but unable to verify, is that that all living matter, is being, slowly, genetically altered, by these processes. The effect, of the mentioned "side effect", is what you are seeing and reading about everyday. Mostly, all negative things, about health and violence throughout the world.Think and argue this all you want, but do give it deep thought.

Angels Don't Play This HAARP

This interesting Google video describes a massive radio-transmitter in Alaska operated by the Department of Defense known as the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). In this video, you will visit the installation and hear government officials explain how it can be used as a powerful weapon directed against any point on the globe, how it can be used for modifying the weather, and how safe and wonderful it is.
But you will also hear from experts -- including scientists who designed the system -- that it can be used to alter human brainwaves to cause whole populations to become confused, passive, or ill.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
In the book Trust Us We're Experts, the authors pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself, and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion.
It's important not to unthinkingly trust what you hear, whether the information comes from the government, from a corporation, or from another source.
Do your own research, listen to all sides, and come to your own conclusions.
The U.S. government has certainly covered up information throughout history, including the dangers of mercury in vaccines and the risks of aspartame. But does that mean the information presented in this video is all true? Not necessarily. If you're concerned about this issue, look for more sources of information, and get the full story.
You should take control of your own mind, just as you should take control of your own health.
On Vital Votes, Dr. Matthew Loop from Lilburn, Georgia is worried by the implications of HAARP:
"As quantum physics and electromagnetic science have confirmed, HAARP makes it possible to control the human brain, modify the weather, and perform many other 'Star Wars' tasks! This is pretty frightening if you are aware of all the propaganda that is spread from Big Brother on a regular basis. We are told, in a similar fashion like the children that were sprayed with DDT years ago, that this technology is harmless. As a student of science, I'm not convinced!"
However, Mac from Coventry, Connecticut is not convinced:
"I don't know why HAARP is getting all this attention. Just a cursory look at the information available turns up many ionospheric heaters around the world, some just as powerful as HAARP ... I suspect a combination of Alaskans having an issue with this site operating for local reasons, then the 'Area 51 trilateral commission' fans join in, and Hollywood money and media attention makes it a powerful story. But as far as I can tell that's just what it is: a story."
