Why This Highly Touted Cancer Prevention Strategy is a Miserable Failure

Posted By Dr. Mercola | February 28 2012

In a recent essay, researchers have pointed out that there is a major discrepancy in claims regarding the safety and efficacy of HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix.  One major concern is the claim that HPV vaccines are an important tool in preventing cervical cancer. But the efficacy of the vaccines in preventing cervical cancer has not been demonstrated because the study periods have been too short.

In fact, even persistent HPV infections do not generally lead to cervical cancer in the long term; most HPV infections resolve spontaneously within 2 years.

According to Medscape:

"HPV vaccines must maintain a near 100% efficacy for a full 15 years, at a minimum, for cervical cancer to be prevented ... So far, Merck has not conducted any studies, nor are any planned, to evaluate the long-term immunogenicity and efficacy of needed booster shots ... Reported serious adverse reactions associated with HPV ... include death, convulsions, paraesthesia, paralysis, Guillain–Barreì syndrome, transverse myelitis, facial palsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, anaphylaxis, autoimmune disorders, deep vein thrombosis, pancreatitis, and pulmonary embolism."

The Medical Industry's Most Atrocious Assault Against Women

Posted By Dr. Mercola | February 28 2012 | 

 Nordic Cochrane Center has put out a leaflet that every woman should read, explaining the potential benefits and potential harms of mammography.  They point out that recent studies suggest that mammography screening is not effective in reducing your risk of dying from breast cancer.

And in fact, screening creates breast cancer patients from among the population of healthy women who would never have developed symptoms. Treatment of these healthy women increases their risk of dying from heart disease and, yes, cancer itself.

According to the Nordic Cochrane Center:

"It therefore no longer seems reasonable to attend for breast cancer screening. In fact, by avoiding going to screening, a woman will lower her risk of getting a breast cancer diagnosis."

Wyoming Introduces 'Doomsday Bill' To Prepare For Collapse of Federal Government

Wyoming Introduces 'Doomsday Bill' To Prepare For Collapse of Federal Government
Legislation lays plans for alternate currency in aftermath of US dollar devaluation

Monday, February 27, 2012

Lawmakers in Wyoming have introduced a bill that would compel the state to prepare for a complete collapse of the federal government, laying plans for an alternate currency, a standing army raised via a military draft, and an aircraft carrier.

"House Bill 85 passed on first reading by a voice vote. It would create a state-run government continuity task force, which would study and prepare Wyoming for potential catastrophes, from disruptions in food and energy supplies to a complete meltdown of the federal government," reports the Wyoming Star-Tribune.

Compared to the rest of the country, Wyoming's public finances are in a relatively good condition, a fact that has spurred lawmakers to protect the state against contagion from other areas that could develop in the aftermath of a massive financial collapse.

The bill (PDF) lays the groundwork for how the state would respond in the event of a sudden devaluation of the dollar or "a situation in which the federal government has no effective power or authority over the people of the United States."

"I don't think there's anyone in this room today what would come up here and say that this country is in good shape, that the world is stable and in good shape — because that is clearly not the case," state Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-Thermopolis, said. "To put your head in the sand and think that nothing bad's going to happen, and that we have no obligation to the citizens of the state of Wyoming to at least have the discussion, is not healthy."

The bill has to pass two more House votes before it can be considered by the Senate. If passed, the task force would have until December 1, 2012 to submit a report to the governor detailing the continuity of government plan.

While authorities at both the state and federal level are making preparations for social dislocation, with FEMA recently ordering $1 billion dollars worth of dehydrated food, a total of 420 million meals, Americans who buy food supplies in bulk are being characterized as potential terrorists by the FBI.

Continuity of government plans implemented at the federal level are so sensitive that when the plan was last updated in 2007, Congressman Peter DeFazio was barred from seeing the details despite being a sitting member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Peter DeFazio (D - OR) was asked by his constituents to see what was contained within the classified portion of the White House's plan for operating the government after a catastrophic terrorist attack, but was denied access, leading him to comment, "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right."

Five years later, the biggest threat posed to America's survival in its current form of government stems not from terrorists but from the country's huge unsustainable national debt and the possibility of another economic collapse.

A USA Today article published yesterday quoted three separate financial experts who all concur that the worst of the financial turmoil is yet to come, with trend forecaster Gerald Celente warning of an "economic 9/11" that will provoke mass civil unrest fueled by anti-government sentiment.

How gluten causes rheumatoid arthritis

by Sarka-Jonae Miller
See all articles by this author


(NaturalNews) Eating foods containing gluten could lead to rheumatoid arthritis, a disease characterized by inflammation and pain in the joints. Gluten intolerance leads to damage in the small intestine when gluten is present. Gluten is a protein found in most grains. Bread, pasta and pretzels are just some of the foods that contain gluten. People who are gluten intolerant may experience side effects from eating gluten, but some people do not have symptoms and could be unknowingly increasing their risk of rheumatoid arthritis.

Gluten intolerance

Having a gluten intolerance means that the body has a hard time digesting the gluten found in grains like wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. If not managed, a gluten intolerance may lead to serious conditions such as diabetes and intestinal cancer. A gluten intolerance may cause aching joints, which is also a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis. Additional symptoms include muscle cramps, hair loss, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, mouth ulcers and seizures.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease disease, meaning it causes the body's immune system to attack healthy tissue. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown; it is found most commonly in middle-aged women, though men can get it too. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain and stiffness in the joints on both sides of the body. Most often this affects the fingers, wrists, knees, feet and ankles. Joints may also feel tender or warm during periods of inactivity. Deformity in the joints can occur over time, according to PubMed Health.

Autoimmune attack

When bacteria enters the body, the immune system recognizes the invader as something foreign. It attacks this invader to prevent illness. Unfortunately, in people with rheumatoid arthritis, the body thinks that their own body tissue is an invader and attacks it. The intestinal lining gets damaged during autoimmune attacks, which allows large food particles to pass through the damaged intestinal wall and get into the body. This condition is known as leaky gut and the autoimmune response. It may contribute to rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, according to Robb Wolf. Wolf is a a former research biochemist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book The Paleo Solution. For someone who is gluten intolerant, the body attacks grains that contain gluten, leading to intestinal damage. This allows the gluten particles to get into the bloodstream and to the joints, which the immune system then attacks and damages as well.

Dietary therapy

Dietary therapy may reduce rheumatoid arthritis symptoms by eliminating foods that trigger an autoimmune response, according to an article published in the British Journal of Rheumatotology in June 1993. This therapy may even slow the progression of the disease by eliminating all trigger foods from the diet. Dietary therapy is also useful as a diagnostic tool to discover unique food triggers. The therapy begins with eliminating every possible food trigger for arthritis out of the diet, such as beef, eggs, wheat, oranges, milk, peanuts, malt and soy. Food is then reintroduced one at a time to see if a person reacts to a particular item.

Curcumin is a potent tool in the war against prostate cancer and dementia

by John Phillip
See all articles by this author


(NaturalNews) Curcumin, the active anti-inflammatory compound found in the Indian spice tumeric, has gained an impressive reputation in the fight against many deadly forms of cancer. New evidence released in the journal Cancer Research finds that the natural phenol can slow prostate tumor growth by blocking receptors used to propagate cell tissue growth.

Additional research published in the journal PLoS One explains the precise mechanism exerted by curcumin molecules to target the amyloid fibrils associated with the unnatural progression of protein-like plaque tangles that are characteristic in Alzheimer's disease patients. Adding curry spice to your healthy diet or supplementing daily with a standardized curcumin capsule will help win your individual war against cancerous proliferation and Alzheimer's dementia.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of the disease, with more than 250,000 diagnoses in the US each year. Any natural compound that targets the proliferation of prostate cancer cells would provide a significant remedy compared with the allopathic methods of radiation, surgery and chemical agents. To conduct the study, researchers subjected prostate cancer cells to hormone deprivation in the presence and absence of curcumin with 'physiologically attainable' doses.

Curcumin blocks prostate cell receptors to thwart cancer progression

The researchers found that curcumin blocked two genetic receptors necessary for prostate cancer advancement. These receptors have been shown is past studies to predict cancer incidence and rate of growth of existing tumors. They noted that the spice extract was "a potent inhibitor of both cell cycle and survival in prostate cancer cells."

The lead study author, Dr. Karen Knudsen and her team found that other cancer cell lines multiply by a similar receptor mechanism and may also be inhibited by the curry compound. She commented that curcumin "also has implications beyond prostate cancer... in other malignancies, like breast cancer. In tumors where these play an important function, curcumin may prove to be a promising therapeutic agent."

In a separate research body, scientists found that curcumin prolongs life and enhances activity of brain neurons, acting as a neuroprotective shield against Alzheimer's disease advancement. The research team determined that curcumin acted to prevent the damaging accumulation of amyloid fibrils around the nerve synapse. Amyloid tangles are known to prevent normal electrical and chemical transmissions required to form memories and maintain cognition.

Scientific research models continue to extol the virtues of natural spice and herbal extracts such as curcumin to help prevent and treat many deadly diseases that kill countless millions each year. Incorporate curry spices as part of your healthy diet or include a daily supplement (250 mg to 500 mg standardized curcumin extract) to significantly lower cancer risk and support healthy brain function.

Mainstream column admits vaccines cause cancer in pets

by Jonathan Benson, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) Did you know that vaccinating your cat with the typical, recommended feline vaccination schedule may lead to your furry friend developing cancer? In a recent article published in The Ledger, Karri Miller, Central Florida's only full-time board certified veterinary oncologist, admits that inflammation caused by vaccines can cause some cats to develop cancer years down the road -- and yet she still recommends that people have their pets vaccinated.

A telling admission about the serious risks associated with vaccines, Miller's report highlights the fact that at least one out of every 10,000 cats develops "vaccine-associated sarcomas" as a result of getting vaccinated. Whether it is the mandatory rabies vaccine, or the host of other viral and bacterial vaccines commonly administered to felines, vaccinated cats admittedly have an increased risk of developing cancer in response to the injections.

Vaccine task force says keep injecting cats with cancer-causing vaccines, but do so in spots that will be easy to remove tumors later

The issue has become so serious, in fact, that the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) developed a "Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force" (VAFSTF) back in 1996 to keep track of the prevalence of the condition, and to investigate ways to help mitigate and prevent it. Besides simply not vaccinating cats at all, the only thing this task force has really come up with so far as a solution is to simply inject vaccines in different spots on cats' bodies so that, should a tumor end up developing there, it will be easy to treat it with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation (http://www.avma.org/vafstf/sitercmnd.asp).

In other words, vaccines will continue to cause cancer in cats, so the best way, in these experts' minds, to address the problem is to inject vaccines in areas that will be easier for surgeons to access in the event that they have to remove a tumor at the site. Never would these experts caution cat owners against getting the harmful vaccines in the first place, of course, or at the very least reduce the number of vaccines they choose to get for their cats.

In her article, for example, Miller actually suggests that cat owners continue to get their cats vaccinated with whatever vaccines their veterinarians recommend because "[t]he risk of developing a tumor from a vaccine may be much less than your cat catching a deadly virus that could have been prevented with a vaccine," in her opinion. And if your cat does get cancer, Miller, of course, recommends surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy as appropriate treatment.

However, according to Dr. Don Hamilton, a veterinary homeopath in New Mexico, most pet vaccines are largely useless anyway because they cause "at least as much illness as they have ever prevented." In many cases, he says, vaccines simply do not offer the protection their advocates claim they do, and they typically weaken pets' immune systems and create more chronic illness than if those pets were allowed to simply develop their own natural immunity through proper nutrition (http://www.holisticat.com/vaccinations.html).

Harvard study: Pasteurized milk from industrial dairies linked to cancer

by Jonathan Benson, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) The truth has once again shaken the foundation of the 'American Tower of Babel' that is mainstream science, with a new study out of Harvard University showing that pasteurized milk product from factory farms is linked to causing hormone-dependent cancers. It turns out that the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) model of raising cows on factory farms churns out milk with dangerously high levels of estrone sulfate, an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate, and breast cancers.

Dr. Ganmaa Davaasambuu, Ph.D., and her colleagues specifically identified "milk from modern dairy farms" as the culprit, referring to large-scale confinement operations where cows are milked 300 days of the year, including while they are pregnant. Compared to raw milk from her native Mongolia, which is extracted only during the first six months after cows have already given birth, pasteurized factory milk was found to contain up to 33 times more estrone sulfate.

Evaluating data from all over the world, Dr. Davaasambuu and her colleagues identified a clear link between consumption of such high-hormone milk, and high rates of hormone-dependent cancers. In other words, contrary to what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the conventional milk lobby would have you believe, processed milk from factory farms is not a health product, and is directly implicated in causing cancer.

"The milk we drink today is quite unlike the milk our ancestors were drinking" without apparent harm for 2,000 years, Dr. Davaasambuu is quoted as saying in the Harvard University Gazette. "The milk we drink today may not be nature's perfect food."

Meanwhile, raw, grass-fed, organic milk from cows milked at the proper times is linked to improving digestion, healing autoimmune disorders, and boosting overall immunity, which can help prevent cancer. Though you will never hear any of this from the mainstream media, all milk is not the same -- the way a cow is raised, when it is milked, and how its milk is handled and processed makes all the difference in whether or not the end product promotes health or death.

American government seeks to further perpetuate the lie that all milk is the same with egregious new provisions in 2012 Farm Bill

Of particular concern are new provisions in the 2012 Farm Bill that create even more incentives for farmers to produce the lowest quality, and most health-destroying, type of milk possible. Rather than incentivize grazing cows on pastures, which allows them to feed on grass, a native food that their systems can process, the government would rather incentivize confined factory farming methods that force cows to eat genetically-modified (GM) corn and other feed, which makes them sick.

As it currently stands, the government already provides incentives for farmers to stop pasturing their animals, instead confining them in cages as part of a Total Confinement Dairy Model, aka factory farms. But the 2012 Farm Bill will take this a step further by outlawing "component pricing" for milk, which involves allowing farmers to sell milk with higher protein and butterfat at a higher price.

Allowing farmers to sell higher quality milk at a higher price provides an incentive for them to improve the living conditions on their farms, and milk better cow breeds. But the U.S. government would rather standardize all milk as being the same, and create a system where farmers continue to produce cancer-causing milk from sick cows for the millions of children to drink.

Argentine Advice for Greece: 'Default Now!'

The Intel Hub

By Adrian Salbuchi
February 23, 2012

Here in Argentina, when we watch the terrible things that are happening today in Greece, we can only exclaim, "Hey!! That's exactly what happened in Argentina in 2001 and 2002…!"

A decade ago, Argentina too went through a systemic Sovereign Public Debt collapse resulting in social turmoil, worker hardship, rioting and street fights with the police.

Some months before Argentina exploded, then-President Fernando de la Rúa – forced to resign at the height of the 2001 crisis – had called back as finance minister the notorious pro-banker, Trilateral Commission member and Rockefeller/Soros/Rhodes protégée Domingo Cavallo.

Cavallo was the gruesome architect of Argentina's political and economic capitulation to the US and UK when he was President Carlos Menem's foreign minister and economy minister in the '90s.

Menem and Cavallo are primarily responsible for Argentina's signing of a formal Treaty of Capitulation with the UK/US after the 1982 Falklands War, opening up our economy to unrestricted privatization, deregulation and grossly excessive US Dollar-indebtedness, almost tripling our sovereign debt in a few short years (see my February 11, 2012 article British Laughter in the Falklands).

The Plan? Prepare Argentina for planned weakening, bankster take-over and collapse, so that a new weakening-takeover-collapse cycle could begin.   In 2001, Cavallo was back to finish his work…

During that very hot summer in December 2001, true to its Latin temperament, Argentina even had four (yes, 4!) presidents in just one week.  One of them, Adolfo Rodriguez Sáa, who only lasted three days, at least did one thing right, even if he did it the wrong way: he declared Argentina's default on its sovereign debt.

All hell broke loose! The international bankers and IMF did everything they could to break Argentina's back; global media pundits predicted all kinds of impending catastrophes.

Debt default meant Argentina would have to weather the pain and agony alone, being cast out by the "international financial community".

'You're not the boss of me!'

But no matter how bad it got, it would always be better to do that without the bankers, without the IMF's, European Central Bank's, US Fed's and US Treasury's "help".

Better to sort out your mess on your own, than to have parasitic banker vultures carving out their pound of flesh from your nation's decaying social and economic body.

And how bad did it get in 2002? A 40 per cent drop in GDP; 30 per cent unemployment; 50 per cent of the population fell below the poverty line; dramatic, almost overnight, devaluation against the US Dollar from 1 peso per dollar to 4 pesos per dollar (then it tapered down to 3 pesos per dollar); if you had a US dollar Bank account, the government forced you to change it into pesos at the rate of 1.40 pesos per dollar.

What did Argentina's government do wrong?  In the months leading to collapse it bowed to all the bankers and IMF-mandated measures and "recipes", which were actually the very cause of collapse: Argentina was loaned far more than it could pay back….  And the banker knew it!

This was described in our December 19, 2011 article, Argentina: Tango Lessons.

Successive governments since then have continued to be functional to banker interests by rolling over debt 30 to 40 years, aggregating huge interest and in 2006 paying the full debt to the IMF – almost US$10 billion in full, cash and in US dollars (sole entity given most-favoured creditor status).

Same vultures circling Greece

Today, Greece is confronted with a similarly tough decision.  Either it keeps its sovereignty, or it capitulates to the "Vulture Troika" – the European Central Bank, European Commission and International Monetary Fund – who work for the Bankers, not the People.

Not surprisingly, today we find that Greece too has a Trilateral Commission Rockefeller/Rothschild man at the helm: Lucas Papademos who is doing the same things Argentina did in 2001/2.

Argentina not only suffered Cavallo, but President De la Rúa himself was co-founder of the local Global Power Masters lobby, CARI – Argentine International Relations Council – local branch of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations, networking with the Trilateral Commission / Bilderberg mafia.

Greece today should do what Argentina did a decade ago: better to endure pain and hardship, and sort out the mess made by your politicians in connivance with international bankers on your own, wielding whatever shred of sovereignty you still have than allowing the Banker Vultures sitting in Frankfurt, New York and London decide your future.

It's the Neocolonial Private Power Domination Model, stupid!

Or do you think it's just bad luck, bad judgment and coincidence that countries – Greece, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Iceland, Ireland, Russia, Malaysia, Ukraine, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, France, even the US and UK – always borrow too much from the bankers and then "discover" that they cannot pay it back and that, symmetrically, the same bankers – CitiCorp, HSBC, Deutsche, Commerz, BNP, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorganChase, BBVA lend too much to countries and then "discover" they cannot collect?

No!  That is the very yellow-brick road that leads to the Emerald City of  "debt restructuring", "debt refinancing", and "sovereign debt bond mega-swaps" that snowball sovereign debt, spreading it over 20, 40 or more years into the future.

That guarantees unimaginably colossal interest profits for the Mega-Bankers and for all those nice politicians, media players, traders and brokers, without whom that would not be possible.

This is a Model.  It must keep rolling and rolling and rolling… As this Monster Machine steams forwards, it completely tramples on, overruns, destroys, flattens and obliterates people, jobs, workers, health services, pensions, education, national security and just about everything human on its path.

Run by parasitic usurer technocrats, it does not care what it destroys because it has no ethics; no Christian, Muslim or Buddhist morals.  It only worships a greedy golden idol of money, money and more money.  This is 21st-century Money Power Slavery.

Three generations of Argentines saw hopes dashed and dreams thwarted by this Monster Machine, suffering the hardship, woes and humiliations that come when countries give up sovereignty.

Bring back the drach!

So, Greece: Just default on your "sovereign debt"!  Just revert to the drachma!  Just say "No, thanks!" to the German bankers and the Troika Vultures.

Please, Greece: just say "No!" to your Trilateral Commission president!

You will be setting a strong precedent for your European neighbours.  Like Spain, which is hurting so badly right now for similar reasons.  Like Italy, with its Trilateral Commission Prime Minister Mario Monti (also Trilateral's European Chairman!).

Greece, the Cradle of Democracy, can teach the world a lesson in True Democracy by kicking these parasites out of the country, which will hopefully trigger kicking them out of Europe and one day, kicking them out of the global economy.

Because what Greece and Argentina and Italy and Spain suffer today is not True Democracy, but rather a distorted bastard imitation that systematically yields control to the Global Power Masters at the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg and Mega-Banking Overworld.

They run the whole "democracy show", whereby all countries end up having "the best democracy that money can buy"… which is no democracy at all…

The Money Power juggernaut is steaming full speed towards us all.  If Greece falls, who'll be next? Spain? Italy? Portugal? Argentina (yet again!!!)?
So what if Greece's reverting to the drachma marks the beginning of the end for the euro?  Let Italy revert to the lira, Spain to the peseta, Portugal to the escudo…!  A National Currency is a key National Sovereignty factor.

USDA to Give Monsanto’s New GMO Crops Special ‘Speed Approval’ Anthony Gucciardi

USDA to Give Monsanto's New GMO Crops Special 'Speed Approval'

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post

If you thought Monsanto's lack of testing on their current GMO crops was bad before, prepare to now be blown away by the latest statement by the USDA.

Despite links to organ damage and mutated insects, the USDA says that it is changing the rules so that genetically modified seed companies like Monsanto will get 'speedier regulatory reviews'.

With the faster reviews, there will be even less time spent on evaluating the potential dangers. Why? Because Monsanto is losing sales with longer approval terms.

The changes are expected to take full effect in March when they're published in the Federal Register. The USDA's goal is to cut the approval time for GMO crops in half in order to speedily implement them into the global food supply. The current USDA process takes longer than they would like due to 'public interest, legal challenges, and the challenges associated with the advent of national organic food standards' says USDA deputy administrator Michael Gregoire.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, problems like public interest (activist groups attempting to bring the dangers of GMO crops to light), legal challenges (farmers suing Monsanto over genetic contamination), and national food standards are all getting in the way of their prime goal — to help Monsanto unleash their latest untested GMO creation. In fact, the concern is that Monsanto may be losing cash flow as nations like Brazil speed genetically modified seeds through laughable approval processes.

Steve Censky, chief executive officer of the American Soybean Association, states it quite plainly. This is a move to help Monsanto and other biotechnology giants squash competition and make profits. After all, who cares about public health?

'It is a concern from a competition standpoint,' Censky said in a telephone interview.

The same statements are re-iterated by analyst Jeff Windau in an interview with Bloomberg:

'If you can reduce the approval time, you get sales that much faster,' said Windau.

If you can reduce the approval time, as in the time it takes to determine if these food products are safe, then you can get sales much faster.

Is the USDA working for the United States consumer, or is it working for Monsanto?

Study: Roundup diluted by 99.8 percent still destroys human DNA

by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) A new study published in the journal Archives of Toxicology proves once again that there really is no safe level of exposure to Monsanto's Roundup (glyphosate) herbicide formula for genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). According to the new findings, Roundup, which is applied by the tens of thousands of tons a year all around the world, is still toxic to human DNA even when diluted to a mere 0.02 percent of the dilution amount at which it is currently applied to GM food crops.

Numerous studies have already identified the fact that Roundup causes DNA damage, not to mention endocrine disruption and cancer. But this new study, which originates out of the Medical University of Vienna, is one of the first to illustrate Roundup's toxicity at such drastically diluted levels, which is a direct contradiction of the agri-giant's talking points about the supposed safety of Roundup.

"Comparisons with results of earlier studies with lymphocytes and cells from internal organs indicate that epithelial cells are more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects and DNA-damaging properties of the herbicide and its formulation," wrote the authors in their abstract.

"Since we found genotoxic (DNA damaging) effects after short exposure to concentrations that correspond to a 450-fold dilution of spraying used in agriculture, our findings indicate that inhalation may cause DNA damage in exposed individuals."

Interestingly, it is not so much just the glyphosate ingredient in Roundup that is extremely poisonous, as much as it is this chemical's amplified toxicity in the presence of other additives in the formula. Polyoxyethyleneamine, for instance, a surfactant that facilitates glyphosate's absorption into cells, has been found to significantly increase Roundup's synergistic toxicity in humans.

Despite Monsanto's claims to the contrary, Roundup is clearly an exceptionally toxic chemical that has no legitimate place in agriculture. According to data compiled by GreenMedInfo.com, Roundup is linked to causing Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, imbalanced hormones in children, DNA damage, low testosterone, endocrine disruption, liver cancer, meningitis, infertility, skin cancer, kidney damage, and even uranium poisoning (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/glyphosate).

Environmentally, Roundup is a pervasive threat to air, water, and particularly groundwater and drinking supplies, as studies have shown that it does not effectively biodegrade after being sprayed. Back in the fall, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released data showing that air and water all across America's "bread belt," where much of our nation's food is grown, is highly contaminated with glyphosate (http://www.naturalnews.com/033699_Roundup_pollution.html).

Antidepressants Proven to be Useless, Pushed on Public Anyway

Antidepressants Proven to be Useless, Pushed on Public Anyway

Mike Barrett
Activist Post

The psychiatric community, as well as health and government officials, have been pushing antidepressants on the people for years.

Instead of addressing the underlying cause of such negative feelings, psychiatrists and medical representatives have been making you think that the only answer to depression is an antidepressant drug. However, the claims that antidepressants are the answer are completely false, but many will refuse to admit the truth to the public. Why? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that antipsychotics raked in over $14 billion in sales back in 2008.

Those pushing antidepressants would at least have an argument for their use if the drugs worked, but they aren't even effective. In fact, the pills have been shown to worsen depression.

The Food and Drug Administration even admits that antidepressants are more than capable of causing suicidal thoughts and an increased risk of suicide.

According to research concerning antidepressant trials, around 1 in 5 patients on popular Cymbalta and other related pharmaceuticals may actually feel worse than those given placebo pills. Despite the evidence linking popular antidepressants like Prozac to suicide, more than 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 12 are now taking antidepressants prescribed by their doctors.

Recently, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, data was requested and received showing that big pharma has known as along that the drugs don't work. After studying placebos for over 30 years, Irving Kirsch of Havard Medical School requested unpublished studies which show that antidepressants provide almost no benefit, while placebos prove effective. Seeing as placebos are almost always more or just as effective, the push for antidepressants is both useless and irresponsible.



Even if the drug were effective, as big pharma continues to claim, are the potential hundreds of negative side effects worth the risk? In addition to experiencing the dizziness, mania, impotence, and suicidal thoughts, you may also be causing your arteries to thicken 400 percent faster than they normally would.

Instead of subjecting yourself to this harmful and unnecessary 'solution', explore all other options.

Depression is often the result of a much deeper unresolved emotional scar. By engaging in a state of meditation, you may be able to unconsciously uncover the path to solving this issue. The feelings may also be the result of a state of denial regarding what things in your life are making you happy and unhappy. Truly recognizing what makes you feel a certain way empowers you to make the decisions in your life to exclude the bad and embrace the good.

Ex-cop, jobless from more than a year, Robs Bank to Get Health Care in Federal Prison

Ex-cop Robs Bank to Get Health Care in Federal Prison

JIM MUSTIAN
Ledger-Enquirer
February 25, 2012

Former Columbus police officer Edward Pascucci had been jobless for more than a year and was facing homelessness last summer when he decided to rob a local bank. Making off with stacks of cash, however, never was his intention.

Pascucci told a federal judge on Thursday he'd run out of options, was facing "severe health problems" and opted to avail himself of the services offered by the federal penal system rather than live on the street.

"I didn't want to be homeless," said Pascucci, addressing U.S. District Judge Clay D. Land in a clear and confident voice. "I should not have manipulated the justice system, but I couldn't think of any other way to get help."

Canadian Judge ruled that Prozac and Antidepressant drug caused teenage boy to murder his friend

• A Canadian judge has ruled that Prozac caused a teenage boy to murder his friend, as the drug caused him to overreact "in an impulsive, explosive and violent way"
• Many drugs, particularly antidepressants, are associated with violence, including suicidal and homicidal tendencies. Of the top 10 drugs linked to violence, half are antidepressants
• Recent research has discovered that certain genetic variations may predispose you to homicidal behavior following exposure to antidepressants, due to an inability to properly metabolize the drugs
• Studies have found that up to 75 percent of the benefits of antidepressants can be duplicated by a placebo. So not only are these drugs ineffective, but the evidence is clear that most of these drugs in fact increase your risk of suicide and violence, including homicide
• Diet and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, exercise, and intestinal health are root causes of many mental health issues, and need to be addressed in order for healing and recovery to occur. Guidelines and recommendations included

Fukushima radiation detected 400 miles away in Pacific Ocean at levels 1,000 times higher than previous readings

by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is far from over, as new reports explains that water samples taken nearly 400 miles off the coast of Japan in the Pacific Ocean are showing radiation levels of up to 1,000 times higher than previous readings. Presenting their findings at the recent Ocean Sciences Meeting in Salt Lake City, Ut., scientists continued to claim these severely elevated radiation levels are not a significant health or environmental threat.

Back in June 2011, a ship carrying scientists traveled off the eastern coast of Japan collecting water samples at distances of roughly 20 miles to 400 miles from the coast. Upon analysis, these samples were found to contain elevated levels of cesium-137 at ten to 1,000 times higher than levels detected before the Fukushima disaster, which is highly alarming.

Included in the detections was the presence of radioactive silver, which is an obvious product of melted control rods at the nuclear facility. The mainstream media is claiming that this silver is simply a result of nuclear fission, but the reality of the situation is that this silver is evidence of a complete core meltdown at the facility, which is obviously having widespread repercussions.

Meanwhile, Hartmut Nies, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), insists that all this radiation is not that big of a deal. He even went so far at the recent meeting to claim that "if it was not seawater, you could drink it without any problems," a completely absurd position that has no grounding in science.

As part of their misinformation campaign, IAEA officials and others compared the radioactive cesium and silver to the naturally-occurring, elemental potassium-40 found in seawater. This natural potassium, of course, is much different than the radioactive elements being emitted from Fukushima, as sea creatures have developed a natural tolerance for potassium-40.

Even those falsely claiming that all this radiation is completely harmless to humans are at least admitting that the findings are indicative that the Fukushima nuclear facility is still leaking radiation into the environment. Marine chemist Ken Buesseler, for instance, who recently said radioactive seafood is safe and that he would eat it, told Fish Info & Services that the reactor "still seems to be leaking," and that it "hasn't shut off completely."

U.S. schoolchildren now subjected to sack lunch searches by government agents who enforce nutritional insanity

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor 

(NaturalNews) First it was the TSA searching your underpants at the airport, claiming to be protecting you from "terrorists." Now a local elementary school in North Carolina is searching the homemade lunches of schoolchildren with the goal of forcing children to ditch their nutritious, home-made meals and learn to consume pasteurized, homogenized USDA-approved cow's milk and chemically-laced processed meats that promote cancer.

This is what happened, as reported in the Carolina Journal yesterday:

"A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious."(http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/homemade-lunch-replaced-wit...)

The paper goes on to report:

"The girl's turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day."

Hold on a sec there, partner. There are AGENTS inspecting lunch boxes of schoolchildren?

You thought the TSA was bad? Get ready for school lunch pat-downs!

That's the first highly disturbing part of this entire story. See, the corrupt state is trying to take over everything, including the American family. Telling little Johnny that his mom packed an "inferior" lunch is one way of teaching children that they should worship the state instead of their parents. It's entirely consistent with the actions of pathetic child health sellouts such as California Governor Jerry Brown who recently signed a law giving 12-year-old children the right to "consent" to being injected with Gardasil vaccines as long as they don't tell their parents. (http://www.naturalnews.com/033831_Jerry_Brown_Gardasil.html)

Parents are useless. The state is God. Write that down, boys and girls, as you'll be tested on it later. And please don't tell all the TSA perverts that new jobs are opening up involving searching the sacks of elementary schoolchildren, or they'll quit the TSA in droves and line up to be part of anything that might involve touching little children (http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=979D7B9F44BA6EAE0DF65B3DE6E4EE33).

In North Carolina, the homemade school lunches that don't meet USDA guidelines are then "enhanced" with what the state calls the "missing items" (the processed meat laced with chemicals, or the dead, pasteurized milk, produced with Bovine Growth Hormones). Parents are then billed (fined) for the additional cost of these "missing" items.

In other words, the state is forcing parents to buy cancer-causing processed foods and feed them to their children!

"What got me so mad," said the girl's mother, as reported in CarolinaJournal.com, "...is, number one, don't tell my kid I'm not packing her lunch box properly. I pack her lunchbox according to what she eats. It always consists of a fruit. It never consists of a vegetable. She eats vegetables at home because I have to watch her because she doesn't really care for vegetables." (http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/homemade-lunch-replaced-wit...)

But the other truly disturbing part about all this is that the "official" USDA-approved nutritional requirements for children are nothing more than a total sellout to the corrupt dairy industry! Here, drink pasteurized, homogenized, hormone-produced milk which will probably make the girls hit puberty at age 9 while causing the little boys to grow armpit hair before they're old enough to tie their own shoelaces.

Ditch your healthy food and eat this homogenized crap!

So the girl brought to school a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, some potato chips and some apple juice. Admittedly, it's not the lunch of champions or anything, but guess what the school forced her to eat instead? Chicken nuggets.

Yeah, those are the deep-fried "parts is parts" chicken-like objects made from mechanically-separated chicken (yuck). They probably contain MSG or some other taste-enhancing chemical, too, and they're no doubt fried in genetically-modified soy oil or corn oil. That must be very conducive to a learning environment, huh?

And this elementary school's current home page features a giant photo of children holding up signs that read, "HELP FIGHT HEART DISEASE." (http://whes.hcs.k12.nc.us/) Seriously? Do they honestly think feeding chicken nuggets to preschoolers is an intelligent way to fight heart disease? (Dear God, what has public education come to in America?)

Since when was the state any kind of authority on nutrition anyway?

All this takes a lot of gall for a government that routinely formulates the most nutritionally-depleted school lunch programs and prison food imaginable. If the government was in charge of our nutrition, we'd all be eating genetically modified poison laced with pharmaceuticals and birth control. It's almost like Bill Gates' heavenly recipe for "feeding the world," huh?

Eat this and die. That's what the government's pushing these days. After all, the sooner you all die, the more money the government will save on social security, Medicare and other entitlements it can't afford to pay for much longer. I bet that's one social science lesson these kids aren't taught in school. You're more valuable to the state dead than alive.

The government likes to act like it's all "official" or something, and that it's somehow looking out for the welfare of these children. It was the Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services which enforced these loony requirements. According to all those "officials" (i.e. government nutritional morons who eat junk food all day while sitting at their desks and injecting themselves with insulin all day), a "healthy" meal for a child should consist of:

• One serving of meat, such as sausages laced with cancer-causing sodium nitrite, which is linked to a 300% increase in brain tumors in children and a 67% increase in pancreatic cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/007133.html).

• One serving of pasteurized, homogenized, heart-disease inducing cow's milk which also causes allergies, autoimmune disorders and digestive problems.

• One serving of grain, which could be met by serving some nutritionally-depleted white bread.

• Two servings of fruit or vegetables, including those gross canned peaches floating in corn syrup.

Yep! That's the USDA's pathetic definition of nutrition, folks. A bunch of disease-inducing processed dead food that's sanctioned by the very same state that wants a dead population. So it all makes sense, you see.

God forbid the mom that packs a lunch for her child that looks something like this:

• A fresh sprout salad (state officials have never seen living sprouts and would probably condemn them as being too "alive" to be safely consumed. Irradiate it!).

• A fresh avocado sprinkled with paprika and nutritional yeast (huh? Is that a fruit? A vegetable? What does it count for? This would confuse school officials for weeks who would have to convene a committee to study the issue...)

• An egg sandwich made from free-range chicken eggs, served up on gluten-free whole grain English muffins (what? No meat! You are murdering your child, you careless parents! Call Child Protective Services!)

• A bottle of fresh juice made that morning from oranges, carrots, lemons and a hint of ginger. (LIVING food? That's the food of terrorists! Nothing alive is allowed in the schools! Forbidden!)

You see, school officials wouldn't recognize a nutritious lunch of it slapped them across the face. There's nothing quite like being cold-cocked with an egg-and-tomato sprout sandwich.

Instead, these pathetic state "health department" enforcers apparently ended their own nutritional education with health class in high school, which gives you even less education than the innate knowledge of a typical mule, because at least the mule knows to eat the living grass and flowers growing right out of the soil. Yep, I said it: These state officials know less than an ass about nutrition.

Coming next: Government agents inspecting children's meals IN YOUR HOME

But where is this school lunch inspection behavior really heading? Well, since the state loves your children so much, and since it is now the full responsibility of the state to care for your children, vaccinate them, feed them and program their brains with false U.S. history, the next step is government food agents conducting door-to-door surprise inspections at your house!

There's a knock on the door. You foolishly answer it, only to find three trendy government agents with fake smiles plastered on their faces, flashing their badges. "We're from the health department, and we're here to inspect your refrigerator. You have children here, correct?"

The next thing you know, they discovered a sprouting machine on your countertop and your stash of raw milk hidden away in the back of the fridge. "Looks like we got ourselves a food terrorist here!" one of the agents mutters to the other. "Call in CPS! And the SWAT team!"

A few minutes later, you're face down in the dirt in your own front yard, where the local city council fined you for trying to grow tomatoes, by the way (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_Julie_Bass_home_gardening.html). Health department thugs are grinding a knee into your lower back, and one of them leans in to whisper into your ear: "You think those are YOUR children? WE are their parents now, get it? And we control what they eat and what medicine they get from now on."

One of them cracks the back of your head with the butt of his government-issue rifle, slapping your nose into the soil as a sharp reminder. "And don't make us come back, or we'll have to take your little Johnny away and make him disappear into our world, where there are at least a dozen sexually frustrated agents who are looking for fresh meat, so to speak. Because meat is a USDA requirement, get it?"

That's what could soon be coming your way in America -- a nation that's beginning to resemble North Korea in its total abandonment of human rights and human decency.

When schools denounce the role of parents in feeding their own children -- and when doctors denounce the role of parents in making health care decisions for their own children -- we aren't too far away from the total state-run takeover of parenting.

Worship the state; surrender your children to total sterilization

You think it's a coincidence that the health department wants your children to eat GMO food that's chemically contaminated with brain-damaging excitotoxins? Of course not: The state wants to, at minimum, make your children sterile. If all the toxic GMOs and food chemicals happen to give them cancer or some other chronic disease in the mean time, that's just a bonus dividend paid out by the pharmaceutical industry for all its profiteering on human suffering.

And hey, if your kid actually dies from all the poisonous food, the deadly vaccines, or the radiation fallout from all the deteriorating nuclear power plants across the country, that's just a bonus for Bill Gates who factors it into his depopulation equation: P = P - 1 , where P = Population. Your kid is the "minus one" part of that calculation.

Of course, that's good for the planet, right? So you should be happy to sacrifice your children to the state, as long as their early death brings down CO2 emissions. Just how much carbon dioxide does a pair of tiny lungs generate with its last dying breath, anyway? It gives a whole new meaning to the "depart" segment of the phrase "Health DEPARTment."

That's the point of the Health Department, you see: To make you depart from this world by destroying your health first.

The point is that as long as you follow the USDA, follow the Health Department, and submit to the new "food police" agents conducting random sack searches (and no, I don't mean the TSA again) then you'll get along just fine with the status quo. The government worshippers. The trendy statists who think it takes a village of government agents to raise a child.

It's not enough to raise Amish raw milk farmers at gunpoint, you see, or for the government to destroy $50,000 worth of raw wholesome milk that was about to fed to hungry infants and babies (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Rawesome_Foods_armed_raids.html). In order to completely crush all remaining shards of liberty and drive the stake of total tyranny through the American family, the government has to punish nutritional non-conformity. Any parent who attempts to pack a school lunch that does not contain processed cancer-causing meat and pasteurized dead cow's milk shall be punished, blamed and publicly humiliated.

Down with nutrition! Conformity is safety! Obedience is freedom! Chant that mantra of oppression fifty times until you start believe it, and then stop homeschooling your children and send them off to be de-educated in public schools, where both their minds and their bodies are poisoned on a daily basis so that they can grow up to become reporters for CNN.

Bow down before your new God, the all-powerful, all-seeing, all-spying Government. We are your parents now, little children. Worship us and you will be rewarded with coupons and trinkets. We may even give you an iPhone if you take enough vaccines without telling your parents. Shhhh!

Let your voice be heard

The school that allowed this "food police" activity to take place is the West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford, North Carolina. Its web page is:
http://whes.hcs.k12.nc.us/

The school's slogan is: West Hoke Elementary School commits to promoting education by providing an environment conducive to learning.

Really? I guess nutrition doesn't play any role in that learning "environment." Forcing little children to eat processed chicken nuggets and pasteurized, homogenized, dead cow's milk that's filled with pus (yes, that's true) isn't much of a commitment to learning, is it now?

The principal of this school is Jackie Samuels. He is not the bad guy here and may not have even been aware this was going on. It was the state officials who conducted this food police activity at the school, not the school administrators.

The phone number of the school is: 910-875-2584

If you do contact this school or its principal Jackie Samuels, please be polite. Don't go all crazy on 'em. Remember: Teaching is a very tough job, and most teachers are dedicated professionals who genuinely want to help. My beef is with the state officials who conducted these sack lunch searches, not the elementary school staff. Just let principal Samuels know that you don't approve of them allowing government food police use their school as a "food police checkpoint" that only indoctrinates little children into learning obedience to the growing police state.

After all, elementary school is a place of learning. But WHAT are the kids learning if the school teaches them it's okay for government agents to deny them their own lunches and force them to eat processed toxic food instead? The message is clear: Your parents are bad! Government is God! Worship the state, or you will be punished.
