Two vegan parents have been convicted of murder and given life sentences in prison for starving their 6-week-old baby to death.

Though the parents may have thought they were doing the right thing, they were feeding their child a completely inadequate combination of soy and apple juice along with a small, but insufficient amount of breast milk.

Now, soy experts are again calling for clear and proper warning labels on all soy milk products, indicating that it should never be used in place of infant formula, following this and several other babies’ hospitalizations or deaths under similar circumstances.

Soy infant formula, which currently constitutes 25% of the bottled-fed market, is required by law to be heavily supplemented with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids that are not found in brands of soy milk.

Though it does not pose an immediate danger to babies, as is the case with soy milk, the Israeli Health Ministry, French Food Agency, British Dietetic Associations and other governmental bodies have warned parents and pediatricians that it poses health risks to the developing baby and should only be used as a last resort.

Union of concerned scientists U.S.A. June 2007
A large number of scientists are calling on Congress to stop the EPA from closing its libraries and destroying documents that are vital to the study of toxic substances in the environment.

In February the Bush Administration proposed cutting costs by 80% which would cause the closure of most of the EPA library network.

A 2004 international EPA report found that the library network saved over 214,000 hours a year in staff time by making information readily available, which gave a cost savings of US$7,500.000. Today the library network is worth much more to the staff and public but there are interest at work that would prefer the information was not available. Much of the material has already been destroyed. Four unions representing over 10,000 scientists in the U.S.A. have petitioned Congress to stop the destruction of the library network.

It’s starting to work
Due to so many discoveries in the last few years that our trusted drug treatments are often more fatal than the diseases they are supposed to cure, we are getting some response from the FDA.

Eleven years after the first long-acting beta-atagonist, SALMETEROL, was approved for sale in the USA, the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, has issued a strong warning to health care professionals and the public that these medicines may increase the chances of severe asthma episodes and death from such episodes (www.fda.gov/cder/drug/advisory/LABA.htm). The warning follows a meeting of the FDA advisory committee in July 2005.
Researchers in UK discovered that asthma patients who receive albuterol (salbutamol) daily were three times more likely to die from asthma.
The FDA has advised GlaxoSmithKline to obtain more precise information about this product.

Bundaberg Queensland, Australian. December 29th 2005

Dr. Jayant Patel is currently living in Oregon, USA after fleeing Australia during an investigation into his competence to operate as a surgeon.

Latest victim in the string of deaths is 57 year old Jim Kitts who was operated for a cancer growth of the colon but a second growth was overlooked and quickly developed into an inoperable situation as it spread to Jim’s entire body.

Citizens of this rural town in North Qld, Australia are still shocked that large numbers of people could have died at the hands of a surgeon, who then fled the country to avoid facing an enquiry.

The Bundaberg Patient Support Group are asking that Dr. Patel be brought back to Australia to face charges of manslaughter, assault, causing grievous bodily harm and fraud because he misrepresented his qualifications to Queensland Health Authorities.

“The Constant Gardener”
A life-like story, made into a Hollywood drama, tells how multi-national drug companies took liberties with African lives with devastating consequences.

It will be coming to Chile Hoyts on 26th of January 2006, where it is expected to draw large crowds from a public who are becoming more and more concerned over multi-national abuses against populations who are not sufficiently protected from corporate crimes.

Based on the best-selling John le Carré novel, “The Constant Gardener,” tells the story of Justin Quayle, a widower determined to get to the bottom of his wife’s brutal murder in a remote area of Northern Kenya. What he uncovers reveals a conspiracy much bigger than he could have imaged, involving murder, big business and corporate corruption.

USA Leads the World…In Medical Errors

Based on a comparison of health care systems in six nations, the 2005 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey found that America led the rest in inefficient care and medical errors.

Improper Treatment 34 Percent of the Time

Researchers interviewed patients who had a serious condition that required intense medical treatment or had been admitted to a hospital for a condition other than a routine pregnancy.

• Patients in this country received the wrong medication, inaccurate or delayed test results, and improper treatment 34 percent of the time.
• A third of the patients polled reported higher rates of disorganized care in their physician’s offices.
• Americans also spent more on medical expenses than those in the other countries, with more than half unable to see a doctor or take prescribed medicines.

12 Percent Spread

The spread between the United States and countries with lower error rates was fairly wide, with a 12 percent difference between Britain, which had the lowest rate of errors, and the United States. The American rate was driven up by fairly frequent test and medication errors.
Reference: Health Affairs. November 3, 2005

In his newsletter Dr. Mercola Commented: (www.mercola.com)

Medical errors are a large reason why the current fatally flawed medical paradigm is in such desperate need of transformation. You know the system needs changing when the majority of health care workers observe mistakes made by their peers but rarely do anything to challenge them.

Other clues that the system is broken are that the death rate actually decreases when doctors go on strike, and deaths blamed on mistakes made with prescription drugs sold at pharmacies spike at the beginning of each month.

The sad tragedy is that the conventional medical paradigm is fatally flawed. The United States is spending $2 trillion every year for a system that is based on disease management focused on drugs and surgery that fail to address the underlying cause of disease.

Additionally, clever manipulation of the official government death rates conceals the fact that the conventional medical system, not heart disease or cancer, is the leading cause of death in this country. Yet, in all fairness, physicians themselves are not the primary reason, as they are under the pernicious influence of the multi-billion-dollar marketing umbrella of the drug companies.

Our return on this investigation is profoundly poor. The bottom line is that the system is crumbling before our eyes. The very economic stability of the United States us threatened by this abuse. The good news is that the expense and misery can be powerful motivation factors to change.

According to investigators Tim Bolen it is very misleading to use information (misinformation) from Quakbusters, an organization that targets any doctor who uses natural methods rather than drug only regimes.

Tim Bolen’s investigations has traced the source of this activity to a big New York public relations operation that works for major pharmaceutical companies, using information gathered from unproven sources to create a report that is then sent to a small media outlet or newspaper. Once it has been printed or announced just once, it is then relayed by a sophisticated network all over the world. It keeps rebounding from one country to the next until no original source is known or can be traced. Doctors who abandon drug regimes in favor of more natural methods have been targeted for years. At present their hot button is Noni, claiming that research has found that Noni causes liver problems. However Bill Sardi reports that those people who they claim (only 4 persons) were affected by Noni were on pain killers which are known to be toxic to the liver and cause many complications. Quackbusters know this too but released the information to all doctors. The investigation is proceeding.

Professor Doctor Alain Verstraete of Belgium, who was at the Universidad Católica, Santiago – Chile, on October 25 2006, was our guest for one hour in the university coffee shop.

We were surprised to hear of some of the areas that each of us are working in, but his contribution was of interest because he has been working in the area of testing catchment water from cities and analyzing it for cocaine metabolites. In this way it is possible for those who pay for this type of research to determine to some extent the cocaine use in a given area. Not exactly a science but it could become the tool of a possible market survey for many different substances.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Dr. Katherine Tucker of Tufts University in Boston in a study of more than 2,000 people who consumed a cola drink daily found that women had lower bone density.

“Because bone density loss is strongly linked with fracture risk and osteoporosis”.

The authors studied 1,413 women and 1,125 men. There was no association between the problem and soft drinks in general, but cola drinks were strongly indicated. The researchers noted that phosphoric acid which cola contains may have been the cause or a contributor.

No evidence existed that occasionally taking a cola is detrimental to bone, but the evidence was clear that regular drinking of cola was associated with reduced bone density. They concluded that women who are concerned about osteoporosis may want to avoid regular consumption of such drinks.

Hoxsey Cancer Treatment

Ref. www.brasschecktv.com/page/69.html

Robert L. Heath, Director Dallas County Medical Society says:

“The medical establishment, if you will, felt that any effort on their part to either go or review the work or the material that Mr. Hoxsey might present to them would do little more than give credibility to the program and would not, in fact, accomplish anything meaningful.” (This is standard procedure before a cure could cost the disease establishment to lose the precious drug states).

Oliver Field, Former Director AMA Bureau of Investigation says:

“He’s like all the rest of them, they all say they are treated unfairly, that medicine won’t pay attention to them. And it’s true, because medicine does not or does know that their products are worthless.” (Of course now we know that they try to get control of natural cures and if they cannot be patented they are called worthless).

According to Hoxsey, there was a more sinister reason that the medical profession would not investigate him. His early fame in Illinois had soon reached the nearby Chicago headquarters of the American Medical Association.

The AMA’s doctors invited him to demonstrate the treatment. Among them was Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the influential AMA Journal. The test case was a terminal cancer patient, police sergeant Thomas Manix. According to Hoxsey the day after his successful demonstration, an AMA official asked to buy the rights to the formulas. The offer would have given all rights to a group of doctors including Dr. Fishbein. (This was not an isolated case of such behaviors – see ref. Rife)

Mildred Nelson recalls the story: “They were in the process of drawing up the contract so they could take the formula, and Hoxsey said, “You have to put in here, that no one can be turned down because of a lack of funds”. And the, “Oh, no” and he said “Yes, this is a promise I made and this must go in it” They said, “You have nothing to do with this and we will charge what we want to”, but he said “you can’t you have to keep it in reach of everyone. This must be done!!” And they said “No, we will charge what we want to and treat who we want to, you have nothing to say about it.” He said “then you do not get the formula.” And that is when the battle started, and went for the rest of the years of his life. (Sounds very similar to what Fishbein did to Rife).

Did AMA doctors try to suppress a cancer cure they could not control? The AMA denied the entire incident. In evidence it was admitted only about the Manix-Hexsay case, not the circumstances. Hoxsey had made a very powerful enemy. By crossing swords with Dr. Fishbain, he alienated the most influential figure in medicine. A man who was used to getting his way, Dr. Fishbein held a unique position, as journal editor he controlled the main income-producing organ of the AMA, and thus the organization. He also published the accepted standards of medical practice. After the Chicago incident, Dr. Fishbein used to magazine to black ball Hoxsey, branding him a quack in the journal, but he went even further, the journal accused him of using “brutal external pastes that ate fatally into patients blood vessels”, but no mention of the demonstration and success of the Mannix case.

Dr. Fishbein and Hoxsey would battle each other for 25 years to become a drama of national dimensions. But rather that settling the dispute through scientific means, Fishbein played it out in the media, where Fishbein was an expert, but he often underestimated Hoxsey and the public leading to this downfall. Today, this “medical industry” is trying to forget those lessons and make a new attempt to monopolize both health and sickness.

The big lie postulated by Fishbein:

Sole profiteers from cancer have been the quacks against whose fraudulent cures the American Medical Association is constantly crusading.

Healing Your Body with the Gerson Therapy

“Stay close to nature and its eternal laws will protect you”
Max Gerson

Throughout our lives our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and cancer causing pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medicines we take and the water we drink. As more of these poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, it becomes necessary to turn to a proven, natural detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy, that has a 60 year history of success.

The Gerson Therapy is a powerful, natural treatment that boosts the body’s own immune system to heal cancer, tuberculosis, arthritis, heart disease, allergies, and many other degenerative diseases by flooding the body with a super-dose of enzymes, minerals and nutrients from almost 20 pounds of organically grown fruits and vegetables daily. Most is used to make fresh, raw juice, one glass every hour, 13 times per day. Raw and cooked organic foods are generously consumed. Oxygenation is usually more than doubled, as oxygen deficiency in the blood contributes to many degenerative diseases. The metabolism is also stimulated through the addition of supplements and by avoiding toxins. Enemas are used to aid in eliminating the lifelong buildup of toxins from the liver.

One of Dr. Max Gerson’s most famous patients was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, whom Gerson cured of advanced diabetes when Schweitzer was 75 years old. Schweitzer later returned to his African hospital, won the Nobel prize, and worked past 90. Schweitzer wrote “I see in Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine.”

Diet
The following is a typical daily diet for a Gerson patient on the full therapy regimen:

• Thirteen glasses of fresh, raw carrot with apple and green leaf juices prepared hourly from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. (The malic acid contained in the apples mixed with the ground carrots helps to release the minerals from the carrots.)
• Three full vegetarian meals, freshly prepared from organically grown fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A typical meal will include salad, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, vegetable soup and juice.
• Fresh fruit available at all hours for snacking, in addition to the regular meals.

Since juicing is a crucial part of the Gerson Therapy, it is extremely important to have a juicer that will produce the highest quality and volume of juice, free of pulp. To do this, juices must be made by grinding the vegetables first, mixing them, and then pressing them in a press.

Some masticating or centrifugal juicers tend to heat the juice in the process of juicing and produce very high levels of friction, which compromises both the quality and content of juice they produce. There are also some juice extractors on the market that have a slower rotation per minute, these are better but not ideal.

Based on their many years of experience, the Gerson Institute recommends Norwalk Juices. These have a grinder mechanism that turns at a slow rate, and a separate, motorized hydraulic press that extracts the juice from the ground pulp. They also approve the use of a Champion juicer, using it in the grinding mode, and then pressing the finely ground pulp in a separate operation, evacuating the juice with a K & K hydraulic press. Only three medium carrots and an apple results in 8 ounces of juice of great texture and taste.

Supplements
• Potassium compound
• Lugol’s solution
• Vitamin B-12
• Thyroid hormone
• Injectable Crude Liver Extract
• Pancreatic Enzymes

Detoxification
A very important part of the Gerson Therapy is frequent detoxification of the tissues and blood through the use of coffee and/or chamomile enemas (which patients report decrease pain and hasten healing).

As the juices begin rebuilding the body and encouraging toxins to be released from the cells into the bloodstream, a great deal of stress is placed upon the liver. Since the liver alone cannot deal with this sudden influx of toxins into the bloodstream, the coffee enemas stimulate liver filtering and greatly aid the liver’s ability to remove serum toxins and residues from environmental, chemotherapeutic, and other sources. Some detoxification of this nature is always needed.

Clay packs are used as an anti-inflammatory and draw out toxins through the skin into the clay. It is also good for rheumatoid arthritis at the painful joints, boils, cysts, etc.

Duration
Though Dr. Gerson specifies about 18 months in a cancer therapy, with today’s more toxic environment they are finding patients need to be on the therapy for at least two years, and in many cases three. Non-malignant diseases such as arthritis and Lupus fall on the shorter end of the scale, while advanced cases of cancer fall closer to the three year range.

The time it takes to see results on this therapy varies greatly from patient to patient, but usually the faster-moving the cancer, the quicker it is controlled and eliminated. It is of utmost importance that patients continue the full therapy according to their doctor’s instructions for the full length of time, not just until symptoms improve. And once they have discontinued the treatment to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Patients who have been already pretreated with chemotherapy should not use the Gerson Therapy at home without an experts supervision to control the detoxification. When a patient receives chemotherapy, a percentage of each dose stays lodged within the body and once the Gerson Therapy begins to work, it can quickly dislodge toxins, including chemotherapy residue from cells, into the bloodstream, when this happens often the body cannot detoxify fast enough and they may be prone to liver failure.

Also, people who have: diabetics, brain metastases, severe kidney damage, and foreign bodies such as pacemakers, breast implants, steel plates or screws will need to be under the supervision of a professional when beginning the Gerson therapy.

Ed.23 p.2-GS

Some people believe that it is a forgone conclusion that they must get sick and take drugs that only relieve the symptoms or pain. They resign themselves to accepting that disease will kill them before natural old age.

Others are discovering that their health is in their own hands and that they can avoid being a statistic of the giant sickness industry.

Those who make money from the increase of sicknesses in the nations, are today living at a time when the prevention of disease, through methods that are not considered scientific, will destroy their careers and expose much of the scientific frauds of the 21st century.

Back cover Ed.23 p.16-GS

If I could ask one wish, it would be that the hearts and minds of those who feed on our health and life could be changed and improved forever.

- Fact: chemicals invade the environment and kill almost everything they touch.
- Fact: chemicals are added to food, water and our medicines and kill almost every cell they contaminate.
- Fact: this is allowed to happen and even encouraged.

Science has gone mad! Or has it?
If chemicals cause sickness and science is managed and paid for by business that gets rich on sickness, then science is acting exactly as its shareholders require it to.

Our only problem is that science is no longer in the hands of ethical people. Even I can work that out.

Nutricional Research Mediterranean Diet

When I was much younger I believed that most things taught to me were true. Gradually you learn and come to realize that some things are not necessarily exactly as they are told to us.

Then it comes a deeper experience with life. We trip over little pieces of information that do not fit in with what we are being taught every day in the media, TV, cinema we are told about “conventional wisdom”. Such things as pharmaceutical drugs heal, God cannot exist because we evolved and were not created, light travels through space at 3,000.000 kms/sec etc., etc. All these things and many more in 2007 are taught as true but “conventional wisdom” wins the day because people who control education will not admit another opinion which may create a different view of the same subject. A closer observation it is often “conventional wisdom” that has no foundation. Nearly every break through we have had in our world until now has at first been controversial, and even unbelievable simply because “conventional wisdom” prevailed. Until it was proved several times nobody believed the earth was a ball and the “greatest minds” would tell everybody that we can only exist on a flat surface. They could easily “prove” this by putting models in place and demonstrating how they fall off if you do that on a ball. It was easy to believe them because they were “educated” by experts from big recognized institutions and they had both influence and authority. They laughed at the round earth proposal.

Today we continue to struggle in a world of theories that will never become facts because they are improvable and serve only the interests of academia and industry.

One of the worst things that we struggle against today is a “sickness industry” developed around the germ theory of Pasteur. It is so powerful that it can cause more harm than it can cure yet it is insulated against investigation from all who are damaged.

In the 21st century it is a race against time to eradicate chronic new waves of sickness introduced by contaminating the cells of almost everyone living in the industrialized nations. We even use chemicals to fight disease and we are losing.

Even the environment is so contaminated that not a meter of earth, water or air is free of toxic chemicals, accidentally or deliberately dumped. Even the womb of a mother and the milk she produces for a new arrival is today contaminated by several toxic chemicals that cause damage to the fetus. This is not merely a theory. We are accused of being alarmist by those who do this and by those who are supposed to be protecting us. You be the judge.

acai berry v8 splash

Does Acai Berry V8 Splash help you lose weight?

If so, how does it work to help you lose weight?

The V8 Fusion drink captures the Acai name but probably has very little Acai content as its a blend with other juices, veggies, etc. I would imagine a more concentrated amount would be needed to have an effect…that is if Acai works at all. Also, the juice has sugar and is about 110 calories per 8oz serving (that’s only 2/3 of a 12 oz soda can!). So by drinking alot of this juice, you’d get a very small amount of Acai and a ton of calories. If you click on this link, then the V8 Fusion drinks, then Acai mix one…look for the nutrition tab at the bottom for more info. I would NOT recommend this for weight loss…plain ol’ water would help you lose weight better!
