Food and Population Control a 35 year old plan

UPDATE: 8 June 2011 Originally posted 4/2/08 I am sure that some people who stumble upon my blog are not those who think the government would ever do anything harmful to them, or are not "conspiracy theory" buffs. Be that as it may, I, as a penultimate observer of world activities for more than 50 years, and having studied history from time to time along the way, only have to endorse the 'act locally' philosophy. I have never been a fan of Henry Kissinger. I sort have always viewed him as a Dr. Mengele type character who would be better off retiring to some far off land and out of public affairs. Here is an interesting tome on this issue from Kissinger's proposals. Kissinger's 1974 Plan for Food Control Genocide Hope your victory garden is getting underw...

The Diabetes Industry

See How the Dirty Work Flows: Big PhRMA and the FDA

I have highlighted passages in the article below that to me are glaringly suspect -  Some parts of this make you think FDA is doing good but the this may be only one of few incidents in their overall track record of approving drugs with serious side effects.  Statin drugs remain on the market and have known heart risk. There are many other examples. Also consider that the drug companies are testing in poor countries like India to do their dastardly tests that often result in death. Orexigen puts obesity drug development on hold   Associated Press/AP OnlineFriday, 03 Jun 2011By MARLEY SEAMANNEW YORK - The maker of a weight loss drug once seen as a potential blockbuster said it is scrapping its bid for U.S. approval because of "unprecedented" demands by regulators...

Lycopene and Vitamin K

UPDATE: 3 June, 2011 Clearly this is not new information about vitamin K.  I first started educating about it in the early 90s.  It is also important to know that you need to have a healthy colon to help your body make it, just as with vitamin B12.  The link below (osteo..) will give you a list of foods providing vitamin K. Is vitamin K the new D? By Erin Kelley, MS, RDIn the fashion world, trends come and go, and the dietary supplement industry shares the same “what’s hot” and “what’s not” faddism. For the last three years, vitamin D has soaked up the spotlight. The nutrient gained attention from an increasing number of research studies showing benefit to a myriad of diseases—cancer, autoimmune disorders, immune health, depression, and last but not least, death. But...

Towards A Healthier View of Happiness: Human Fulfillment

By Roberto A. Blanco, M.D.  I believe that mistaking what one would call pleasure or joy with happiness is causing people a lot of unnecessary pain.  In popular culture and the media, “happiness” is the feeling when you open a brand new bottle of soda, when you have a party with your friends, or when you get a new car.  Consumer culture has subtle but noticeable effects on people’s beliefs to the point where most people buy into these images or ideals consciously or unconsciously to some extent.   But, this is not the meaning of happiness for which we should be striving.  This is because pleasure, while it may be...

American Dietetic Association (ADA) Strengthening its Monopoly

Introducing "the PLATE".  The new tool government wants you to use that is still too high in grains, sugars, and obesity promoting food.  Just remember, this "new" tool cost taxpayers $2 million. I recall a couple of decades ago when "the PLATE" concept was used to teach nutrition. May 2011 - The ADA is basically the clinical arm of the USDA and Big AG.  If you aren't sure you know about this group then maybe you have heard that in its "diabetes education" it promotes aspartame, sucralose, canola and soy. And if you regularly read Natural Health News you know that these are very unhealthy foods. If you go back a few decades you might even remember that ADA members serving as hospital dietitians (R.D.) brought about the extensive number of articles about the deaths and malnutrition...

Overmedicated Society Needs Natural Health

This is quite an interesting interview.  When you know that drug pushing is the end result, like my friend who was prescribed Levaquin without being told of the risk of tendon rupture, you might wonder what you need to do to change the way you look at your health. In an in-depth interview on CNN this morning, John Abramson, MD, board member of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, explained why it is that 74% of Americans who visit a doctor, leave with a prescription for a drug (or several drugs), and why taking drugs is NOT the best way to good health. Dr. Abramson succinctly explains how American medicine's reliance and over use of drugs--primarily new, expensive drugs--is driven by the drug industry. And how that industry controls most of the channels...

Healthcare and The Environment

Over my many years working in healthcare facilities I have developed a green and clean system to help in the elimination of devastating bacteria that can lead to MRSA and other difficult infections. It seems as the facilities make a major contribution to this problem and they must be addressed. How Healthcare Impacts the EnvironmentHospitals make significant contributions to their communities by providing a wide variety of services.  They are also major employers, with healthcare comprising approximately 16% of the national and regional economy. Hospitals operate all day everyday, making their environmental footprint large in many communities. Hospitals impact the environment by: Generating approximately 7,000 tons per day of waste, including infectious waste, hazardous waste,...

Does Going Pink Lead to "The Cure"?

Real questions do need to be asked about pink products and real progress in prevention and cure of breast cancer. Back in March, BCA re-launched the Think Before You Pink® blog to provide information and resources for those interested in shifting the dominant breast cancer narrative. One of our goals was to provide concrete tools that would help people start conversations with their friends, family and communities. As a result, I am excited to announce that we are finishing a “first draft” of our brand-new Think Before You Pink® toolkit. We’ll be offering a sneak peek next week, so stay tuned! As a lead-in to the initial release of our toolkit, we thought that it would be interesting to revisit our campaign’s best known resource – our critical questions. We created these questions in response...

Veggie Might: Wild Rice Salad with Edamame (or Fresh Fava Beans and Three Hours)

Written by the fabulous Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about all things Vegetarian.I’ve been so bored by my lunches of late: repeat appearances of grain-bean-green bowls, salad after endless green salad, and I’ve been looking for something new and exciting, but simple enough to make quickly or ahead in bulk. I was seduced by the photograph accompanying this recipe Wild Rice and Edamame Salad at Chow.com. Mmm...wild rice and edamame. So pretty! So healthy! So springy! But when I clicked through, the secondary and tertiary ingredients were woefully disappointing. Dried fruit and nuts? Five tablespoons of oil? Honey? So sweet! So...
