Vegan Diet Cures Everything, or so they say...

Well, yes this has just got to be the latest re-run of the vegan magic bullet theory.It's not that I am against veganism, or vegetarianism for that matter; it's just that I am for health.So if I am for health then I bet you are asking why I am not for veganism or vegetarianism.Well I am and I am not.And there is the theory behind my thinking, and hopefully what will your effort to think this through.The regular Western diet is a fraud and generally damaging to health. The same can be said for the plethora of 'diets to cure disease', such as the Hallalujah Acres Diet, PRISM Diet, VEGAN or VEGETARIAN Diets and others.The truth is that there is no perfect diet for everyone, and the old and new food pyramid scams of the USDA are also included in food fraud, along with the dangerous artificial...

Foolery

Wasn't it said a long time ago that you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all people all of the time?Some people like Dr. Samuel Epstein and others, as well as me, have for a very long time tried to warn women about Tamoxifen. In my best recollection it is close to 10 years now, and in that time do we know how many women have been fooled into taking Tamoxifen under the guise of protecting them from breast cancer. Most, I am afraid. And how many health care providers failed to properly warn of the risks and other cancers that came from allegedly trying to protect health with this drug?So how many needless other health problems and deaths? No one who actually might know would dare say. And maybe no one really knows. Just another Tuskeegee Experiment but this one was used to...

Is It Pharmaceutical or Is It Organic?

The USDA, in another government agency smokescreen feigning citizen safety, wants to play with your organic standards one more time. This time it is moving to allow eight toxic drugs in organic meat, and still allow organic claims. Thanks to Dr. Patricia Doyle for enlightening us on this effort. Since it was published in a trade journal you might not have noticed it.USDA Wants To Allow More Toxins In Organic MeatUSDA's Agricultural Marketing Service is seeking comment on a proposed rule that would expand by eight the number of allowable substances used in treating livestock under the National Organic Program.Among the additions:* Atropine: Used as an antidote for organophosphate poisoning, usually the result of exposure to pesticides. Atropine is an extract from the plant atropa belladonna....

CHAOS

I am looking for some self-respecting human being subjected to prescription mania who now is ready to stand up for their rights. I believe you are really out there, and I hope there are more and more signing up for health rights as the days pass along.You have to be out of your mind if you don't!Well, today we learn that Gleevec causes heart failure. Oh yes, it's that good one you know; the left ventricle acting out of character. So if your left ventricle acts out just how do you think that blood will get circulated around your body and get oxygen to the cells?I don't think there is a day that passes that I don't see some news report on FDA corruption, FDA collusion with drug companies, or how the FDA is failing the citizens it is supposed to protect from the ravages of dangerous drugs.Don't...

"CHEMO BENEFITS EXAGGERATED"

As I see it, it is about time these facts, known for decades, start being reported to the public. Of course it is likely that you won't read it in the US press or hear it on FOX News.6 July 06.

Medicare Premiums Set to Increase - DRASTICALLY

Well who would be surprised when reading this news story today.The elderly will face another double-digit rise in their Medicare premiums next year, resulting in monthly payments of nearly $100.The monthly premiums for supplementary medical insurance will rise from $88.50 to at least $98.40, the Bush administration projected Tuesday. That's an 11.2 percent increase, and it's possible the amount will be slightly higher.The projections assume that Congress will reduce Medicare payment rates for physicians by about 4.7 percent next year. Many analysts don't believe such a cut will occur, and that means the cost of the insurance would go higher than current projections.Mark McClellan, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the higher premiums are being generated...

Natural Substances and Health Benefits

About a month ago I wrote about the failure of medicine today to think with an open mind.I suppose I could address any topic in health care and see the same behavior. I hear stories every day from people about the difficulties they face in the health care system, and their hopelessness. Your health is a very precious commodity, and your health care provider needs to give it their full attention.As a follow-up note to something I mentioned in "One More Time, with feeling" I am most pleased to report that a little girl's health status became free of parasites because of natural therapy with nutritional support, internal baths, herbs and essential oils.If you want to insure that your right of access to natural therapies remains in tact, please visit this si...

Ever Think That Your LOW-FAT or NON-FAT Diet Craze Might Lead to Poor Health?

Review finds current vitamin D recommendations insufficient to achieve healthy blood levelsA review published in the July, 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition which sought to determine the optimal serum levels of the major circulating form of vitamin D [25(OH)D] for several health outcomes concluded that it would be necessary to consume at least 1000 international units of vitamin D per day to elevate blood serum levels in half the adult population to 75 nanomoles per liter, the minimum level that the researchers found to be advantageous for helping to preserve normal bone mineral density and lower extremity function, and aiding in the prevention of periodontal disease, falls, fractures, and colorectal cancer. Although there is evidence for vitamin D in preventing other...

Drugs: The Generator

About a year ago a very dear and long ago friend from the 60s decided to leave this plane. I have been thinking of him a lot lately. This morning I decided to play the CDs I have of his wonderful music. This also makes me think about how he had so much trouble with his health, knowing part of his decision included these worries.It doesn't surprise me in the least because I know so many people, especially as they are aging, fear for loss of health.I am not outside that group, so I try to do things to help maintain my health and prevent any untoward events as much as they remain in my control. This has a lot to do with taking responsibility for my health. I hope that others will do this too, because they can, and should.This article about vision and drugs takes me back a decade or more...
