More, On Prescription Drugs Truth, and Related Issues.
Keep in mind that when you read anything about alternative means of naturally based health care, you're not supposed to question anything told to you by conventional doctors and scientists. They already know everything, and the mere act of rising above for profit sheeple status and questioning their theories is in their minds purely blasphemous; as if they are God or the next best substitute. The only problem, is that is the problem, they are NOT God, nor a substitute for the healing properties the real creator of health care gave you. The arrogance of the most main stream medically educated, pales within the failed halls of death they see every day; yet believing every word of the false allopathic scheme they were sold. The basic needed knowledge and the principals are so simple a child could understand them; yet millions walk blindly along those paths of needless lied to and mislead destruction. We see the lives saved in human accident trauma units, the helicopters that fly in and out; and we marvel at the technology. This is all well and good, as well as at times quite needed. In fact several of the real truth doctors came directly from working in those facilities. What we need do is look at the picture over-all...the WHOLE picture, not just part of the picture, to see the reality of what they "really" do. We must look out for ourselves in life, as no-one else will do it for us. We must learn, and think for ourselves, as the truth presents itself at times like that of the guardian angel; while cloaked in the veil and black gown of lies, misinformation, and betrayal. You can wonder, and procrastinate on investigating any of the non - allopathic information; how it could be true; "it just can not be true". Follow the road to truth, and learn, that it is ALL truth.
How long will you let pharma run you through the for profit sheeple sheers; running away half sheared, half cut up left to stand in the cold and no answers. They will tell you its all coincidence. Worthless cholesterol drugs that right on the insert states they were never proven to prevent even one death. Your child ends up one of the 1 in 100 now with autism and/or maybe two drugs for ADD/ADHD, and three more for asthma. What a wicked circle they weave. Walk, run, but become your own boss; think for yourself and do the real research, and question it all.

Merck finally succumbed to public pressure and voluntarily withdrew their anti-inflammatory drug from the market in September, 2004.
It is tragic that Vioxx was only removed from the market AFTER it had done its damage, and 60,000 people ended up dying from taking it. This was NO accident; the drug’s makers knew this would happen but collected billions of dollars in profit before it was finally withdrawn. Many internal memorandums uncovered during the many lawsuits confirmed this.
Vioxx is a classic demonstration of putting corporate bottom-line profits ahead of people’s lives.

Dramatic Example of How Health Truth May Take Up to a Century to be Accepted. (Smoking), by: Dr. Mercola
Despite FDA concern, American Chemistry Council Insists Bisphenol A is safe for everyone.
Excerpts.
The FDA's conspiracy to promote dangerous chemicals
The FDA, for its part, has been engaged in a conspiracy of silence to avoid admitting that BPA is dangerous for human health. This conspiracy was recently shattered when the FDA's own science advisors blasted the agency for ignoring over 100 published studies showing BPA was dangerous. The FDA, you see, had discarded those 100+ studies and, instead, based its conclusions on just two studies that happened to be funded by the chemical industry.
That's how the FDA operates across the board: Ignore all the science you don't like, and cherry-pick the science you want to believe, even if it's all been funded by the chemical companies. By relying on that gimmick, the FDA was able to maintain its intellectually dishonest position that BPA posed no risk to human health.
There's also evidence of corruption and fraud in the FDA's position on BPA. Did you know, for example, that the chairman of the FDA panel making a key decision on BPA "safety" -- Martin Philbert -- also sits at the top of a company that received a secret $5 million payment (
http://www.naturalnews.com/026400_B...).
But the scientific evidence against BPA is now so large than even the FDA can't continue to stonewall the public on this issue. BPA is dangerous to human health, and it should be banned from all items that come into contact with foods (which includes soup can linings, foodpackaging, water bottles and much more...).
As Kelly Wallace from CBC News discovered, just eating one tuna sandwich caused BPA levels in her blood to soar to over five times the average BPA level found in the blood of American consumers (and that "average" level is dangerous to begin with). (
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010...)

The above links.
FDA Panel Chairman on Bisphenol-A Secretly Received $5 Million Payment.
FDA Issues Warning About BPA Exposure.
New study confirms bisphenol A found in plastic is linked to heart disease.
Excerpts.
CBS News correspondent Kelly Wallace reports that, for years, concerned mothers, environmental groups and some scientists have been warning that Bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA, is unsafe, and can lead to cancers, diabetes and other diseases.
The FDA announced, on the basis of new studies that can test for "subtle effects" that, while BPA is still considered safe, it now has "some concern" about the potential effects of the chemical - especially on the "brain behavior and prostate glands in fetuses, infants and young children."
The American Chemistry Council, a product advocacy group, says BPA is safe.
The council's Lisa Harrison told CBS News, "What's important to remember is the FDA indicated that the BPA has not been proven harmful to children or adults. And that if they believed it was unsafe, they would've issued stronger regulations."
In a non-scientific "Early Show" experiment, Wallace ate a sandwich made from canned tuna, which consumer groups have found to contain BPA. Shortly afterwards, she had her blood drawn. For the next two days, Wallace tried to live a BPA-free life, during which she tried to avoid all foods in cans or plastic containers.
Then she had her blood drawn again. Her serum samples were shipped to the lab of University of Missouri professor Fred Vom Saal.
Vom Saal told Wallace, "The first set of blood that you gave us had high levels of Bisphenol A in it. It's over five times higher than what we find on average in women in the United States."
However, after her BPA-free diet, Vom Saal said her levels were much lower than average.
Wallace asked, "How convinced are you that elevated levels of BPA in people's bodies can lead to cancers, heart disease, obesity and early puberty?"
He replied, "I and other colleagues of mine at an NIH (National Institutes of Health) meeting said, with a very high level of confidence, we think Bisphenol A is a threat to human health."
My note:This is the same Bisphenol A in dental composite tooth fillings and also child dental sealants!

Psychiatry’s Prescription for Violence – Trailer.
Psychiatric drugs are documented by international drug regulatory agencies to cause suicidal and homicidal ideation, mania, psychosis, worsening depression and a host of violence inducing side effects. Numerous school shooters were under the influence of these drugs when they went on shooting rampages including Columbine shooter Eric Harris (Dylan Kleebold’s autopsy reports were never made public), Kip Kinkel, the Red Lake Minnesota school shooter, Jeff Weise, and others. Yet there has never been a federal investigation into the link between psychiatric drugs and random senseless acts of violence.

A Warning on Antidepressants for Pregnant/Nursing Women
This is the story of a mother who took an antidepressant drug while pregnant, and was never warned of the risks or the fact that thousands of reports of infant deaths and birth defects have been reported to the FDA for pregnant and nursing mothers taking psychiatric drugs. This is one example of why there is such opposition to The Mothers Act, a federal bill which claims to be for the good of women, but which truly only benefits the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry. See CCHR’s Issues page on the Mothers Act for more information.

These days you can hardly turn on your TV or read a magazine without seeing a drug ad for the latest emotion or behavior that the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry has redefined as a “mental disorder” — all to sell people on the idea that they need to take a drug.
In order to provide parents, doctors, educators and concerned citizens with all the information so that they can make informed medical decisions, CCHR created Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging. Produced in coordination with Golden Era Productions, the film has been honored with a Silver Telly, an Accolade Award for Best in Show, and a Communicator Award of Distinction.
No More ADHD
Dr. Mary Ann Block, Medical director of the Block Center, is an outspoken critic of children being diagnosed ADHD and put on drugs documented to cause tics, stunted growth, heart attack, stroke and sudden death. She describes how parents are being misinformed about the medical legitimacy of ADHD and the dangers of the drugs being prescribed to treat children. She encourages parents to have their child given a full medical examination to find underlying medical problems that are being misdiagnosed as a mental disorder.

Psychiatric Drug Side Effects- Video.
CCHR has long fought for full disclosure of psychiatric drug risks, and was one of the first organizations to expose the suicidal and violent inducing effects of antidepressants as far back as 1991, calling on the FDA to take action and issue public warnings. It would take the FDA 13 years to finally issue black box warnings on antidepressants causing suicidal ideation.
1991 FDA Hearing with Testimony
As far back as 1991 CCHR was exposing the fact that antidepressants can cause suicide and violence. It would take 13 years for the FDA to finally admit this was true, and issued the agencies strongest warning, the “black box”, in 2004.

Thoughts On The Cure For Cancer.
Excerpts:
All of the above can be summarized in this way: your body is designed to produce perfectly appropriate consequences to every choice that you make in life. Each of your choices -- including the thought and emotional patterns that you choose to engage in -- are creating the health or health challenge(s) that you experience each day.
A short time ago, a visiting relative asked my wife and me what we thought about the idea that the cure for cancer was already established, but was being hidden from the general public for various reasons. Being a pharmaceutical sales representative, her idea of the cure for cancer was a drug or procedural treatment that could be received from a doctor, and used right away to experience a complete recovery from cancer.
Her question was an important reminder for me, as I usually do not focus on the reality that a good number of people in our society -- perhaps the vast majority -- believe in cures that come in expensive packaging or from skilled hands in the operating room.

Homocysteine: One of the Best Objective Markers of Your Health Status.
Selected excerpts from the above article.
2. High Homocysteine Causes Damage to Your Arteries
High blood levels of homocysteine can damage cholesterol that is found in your blood, which can lead to direct damage of the walls of your arteries. This can lead to a series of reactions that results in thickening of the walls of your arteries, leaving less room for proper circulation. This whole process is commonly referred to as atherosclerosis.
High homocysteine can also cause your blood to have a higher than normal tendency to clot, which increases your risk of developing a dangerous clot that could lead to a stroke.
Finally, high homocysteine is known to significantly lower nitric oxide in your blood. Nitric oxide is a gas that is critical to maintaining healthy and flexible arterial walls.
4. High Homocysteine Increases Pain and Inflammation
A high blood level of homocysteine promotes higher blood levels of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which are chemicals that your body uses to promote inflammation. While inflammation is necessary for healing in the short term, chronic inflammation can cause lasting structural damage to various tissues like your arteries, joints, and nerves.
Ultimately, because a high blood level of homocysteine accelerates aging and decreases the strength of your immune system, it is not a stretch to say that having high homocysteine over the long term significantly increases your risk of every chronic health condition that we know of, including many varieties of cancer.
If homocysteine is such a powerful marker for disease, then why is it that we hear so little about it from doctors and in the media?
The answer is simple. Currently, there are no patented drugs that are designed to lower blood levels of homocysteine. With no patented drugs for lowering homocysteine, pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to spend their marketing dollars on educating doctors and increasing public awareness about homocysteine. Some doctors who know about the diagnostic value of homocysteine may be reluctant to order this test for their patients because they wouldn't know what to prescribe for patients who have high levels.
Despite the lack of widespread testing for homocysteine, many cardiologists in the United States now use homocysteine in evaluating their patients. Many doctors in Europe are starting to include homocysteine along with the usual parameters in a routine blood work up. In Canada, general practitioners rarely order a blood test for homocysteine; if you want one, you have to ask your doctor to include it on the requisition that details the blood work that he or she wants done.
