Merck’s vaccine fraud

According to two Merck scientists who filed a False Claims Act complaint in 2010 — a complaint which has just now been unsealed — vaccine manufacturer Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test data, spiked blood samples with animal antibodies, sold a vaccine that actually promoted mumps and measles outbreaks, and ripped off governments and consumers who bought the vaccine thinking it was “95% effective.”

See that False Claims Act document at:
www.naturalnews.com/gallery/documents/Merck-False-Claims-Act.pdf

According to Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, both former Merck virologists, the Merck company engaged in all the following behavior:

• Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test results to fabricate a “95% efficacy rate.”

• In order to do this, Merck spiked the blood test with animal antibodies in order to artificially inflate the appearance of immune system antibodies. As reported in CourthouseNews.com:

Merck also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory testing scenario that “did not in any way correspond to, correlate with, or represent real life … virus neutralization in vaccinated people,” according to the complaint. (http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/06/27/47851.htm)

• Merck then used the falsified trial results to swindle the U.S. government out of “hundreds of millions of dollars for a vaccine that does not provide adequate immunization.”

• Merck’s vaccine fraud has actually contributed to the continuation of mumps across America, causing more children to become infected with mumps. (Gee, really? This is what NaturalNews has been reporting for years… vaccines are actually formulated to keep the outbreaks going because it’s great for repeat business!)

• Merck used its false claims of “95 percent effectiveness” to monopolize the vaccine market and eliminate possible competitors.

• The Merck vaccine fraud has been going on since the late 1990’s, say the Merck virologists.

• Testing of Merck’s vaccine was never done against “real-world” mumps viruses in the wild. Instead, test results were simply falsified to achieve the desired outcome.

• This entire fraud took place “with the knowledge, authority and approval of Merck’s senior management.”

• Merck scientists “witnessed firsthand the improper testing and data falsification in which Merck engaged to artificially inflate the vaccine’s efficacy findings,” according to court documents (see below).

US government chose to ignore the 2010 False Claims Act!
Rather than taking action on this false claims act, the U.S. government simply ignored it, thereby protecting Merck’s market monopoly instead of properly serving justice. This demonstrates the conspiracy of fraud between the U.S. government, FDA regulators and the vaccine industry.

Chatom Primary Care sues Merck for Sherman Act monopolization, breach of warranty, violation of consumer protection laws
Following the unsealing of this 2010 False Claims Act, Chatom Primary Care, based in Alabama, smelled something rotten. Three days ago, Chatom filed a lawsuit against Merck. That lawsuit record is available here:
www.naturalnews.com/gallery/documents/Chatom-Lawsuit-Merck-Mumps.pdf

It alleges, among other shocking things:

[Merck engaged in] …a decade-long scheme to falsify and misrepresent the true efficacy of its vaccine.

Merck fraudulently represented and continues to falsely represent in its labeling and elsewhere that its Mumps Vaccine has an efficacy rate of 95 percent of higher.

In reality, Merck knows and has taken affirmative steps to conceal — by using improper testing techniques and falsifying test data — that its Mumps Vaccine is, and has been since at least 1999, far less than 95 percent effective.

Merck designed a testing methodology that evaluated its vaccine against a less virulent strain of the mumps virus. After the results failed to yield Merck’s desired efficacy, Merck abandoned the methodology and concealed the study’s findings.

…incorporating the use of animal antibodies to artificially inflate the results…

…destroying evidence of the falsified data and then lying to an FDA investigator…

…threatened a virologist in Merck’s vaccine division with jail if he reported the fraud to the FDA…

…the ultimate victims here are the millions of children who every year are being injected with a mumps vaccine that is not providing them with an adequate level of protection. And while this is a disease that, according to the Centers for Disease Control (‘CDC’), was supposed to be eradicated by now, the failure in Merck’s vaccine has allowed this disease to linger, with significant outbreaks continuing to occur.

Chatom Primary Care also alleges that the fraudulent Merck vaccine contributed to the 2006 mumps outbreak in the Midwest, and a 2009 outbreak elsewhere. It says, “there has remained a significant risk of a resurgence of mumps outbreaks…”

This investigation is only beginning
NaturalNews has only begun to investigate this incredible breaking news about Merck and the vaccine industry. We are pouring through the court documents to identify additional information that may be relevant to this case, and we plan to bring you that information soon.

For the record, Merck denies all allegations. Is anyone surprised?

Dear Friend,
I remember November 1, 1994, as if it were yesterday. That’s the day my wife, Marge, died from the poisonous effects of chemotherapy.

Let me tell you something: it wasn’t cancer that killed my wife. It was the cancer treatment. The chemo destroyed her immune system, made her feel miserable, and broke down her will to live. She said the chemo made her feel “like hell.” It sickened her so much that she wanted to die.

The doctors were hell-bent on killing my wife’s cancer, and they met their goal — but their drugs also killed the patient.

I’m writing you this letter because I don’t want you or your loved ones to go through the nightmare my wife went through. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

How I discovered a gentle way to beat cancer

If I’d known then what I know now, my wife would probably still be alive today. Believe it or not, I found an incredibly powerful yet gentle way to beat cancer — a way that makes the patient feel good and healthy. In fact, you can cure almost any cancer at home — even “terminal” cancers — for pennies on the dollar compared to the $10,000-a-month chemo drugs.

And without any miserable side effects.

You see, after Marge’s death, I embarked on a full-time research project to find a better way to treat cancer. And in my research I found a suppressed cure — a miracle that literally “melts” cancer away.

But don’t expect to hear about this cure from your doctor. He probably doesn’t know about it, because the drug-oriented medical establishment has suppressed it. Why? Because big profits are at stake.

As the late physician, author, and diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins, M.D., once said:

“There is not one, but many cures for cancer available. But they are all being systematically suppressed by the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the major oncology centers. They have too much of an interest in the status quo.”

But even if your doctor knew about the natural cure for cancer, he could get into big trouble with his medical board for recommending a cancer treatment other than chemotherapy.

That’s right. Your doctor isn’t free to tell you the truth about your cancer treatment options, because health freedom in America is disappearing.

But I’m free to tell you the truth about cancer treatment options because I’m not a doctor. I can speak freely.

Let me briefly introduce myself to you. I’m Bill Henderson, a retired Air Force colonel and a retired business owner.

I write books about how to beat cancer gently and naturally, and I host a radio program on the same subject. What’s more, I’ve spoken with more than 3,000 cancer patients from all over the world over the last several years. In a typical day, six or seven cancer patients call me to ask about their treatment options.

I tell these patients that if I ever had cancer, I’d cure it at home myself instead of using chemo and radiation. Why? Because I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t work.

Let me tell you the story about the technology tycoon who almost lost his wife.

Technology tycoon thanks me for saving his wife’s life

Rebecca K. and her husband live in Palm Beach, Florida. But during hurricane season you’re more likely to find them at their yacht club in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The husband is the heir to a technology fortune.

Rebecca and her husband are so grateful for my help as a cancer coach that they recently treated my wife and me to three nights at their Gloucester yacht club.

They’re absolutely convinced that I saved Rebecca’s life.

Nearly 10 years ago Rebecca started suffering heavy bleeding during her periods. Doctors found uterine cancer and recommended radiation therapy. She told them, “No, thank you.” She preferred to look for a natural remedy.

Somehow Rebecca came across my method, and she hired me as a coach. She did the simple cancer-curing protocol, which I describe in chapter five of my new Special Report.

When I spoke to Rebecca recently, she told me, “Bill, you gave me what’s the most precious thing in the world: another day — and many more!”

I love to hear statements like that, and I hear them all the time. That’s why I say that this is the most fulfilling thing I’ve done in my entire life. Nothing else has been anywhere near as gratifying as what I do now. Every day I get an opportunity to help somebody who’s suffering. And what could be better than that?

A Rolls Royce cancer treatment program on a VW budget!

You can get rid of almost any cancer without surgery, without radiation, and without chemo.

I’m talking about a Rolls Royce cancer treatment program on a Volkswagen budget.

Hard to believe? Perhaps. But I’m not asking you to believe anything just yet. Keep reading and see the evidence for yourself. All I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving while I show you my proof.

In the next five minutes, I’ll prove to you that there’s a gentle and effective way to get rid of just about any cancer.

I’m going to tell you about the best cancer cure I know of — a cure that routinely melts away even stage-four cancers.

Doc says, “two months left to live?” Don’t believe it!

You see, many of the cancer patients I’ve helped were written off as “hopeless” and “terminal.” Their doctors just gave up on them, telling them they had “two months to live,” “three months to live,” or “six months to live.” But I’ve personally seen these death sentences reversed when the patients used the home cure I recommend.

Earlier, I mentioned several cases of “terminal” cancer patients, including Richard, the plantation owner from Louisiana who was dying of brain cancer and had “two months to live.” He walked out of his hospice — a place where people wait to die — and cured his cancer at home with the miracle food I recommended to him — a miracle food named in my new Special Report, How to Cure Almost Any Cancer at Home for $5.15 a Day.

When I interviewed him four years later, he was in good health, and he told me he was sharing his health secret with anyone willing to listen.

Have you ever heard of someone walking out of a hospice and curing terminal brain cancer at home? Shouldn’t the medical profession be shouting from the rooftops about this amazing cure?

Well, don’t hold your breath for that to happen. It would cost the drug companies a fortune in lost profits if too many people started using this miracle food. And the drug companies will do everything in their power to make sure the medical establishment keeps this natural cancer cure under wraps.

How this miracle food kills cancer cells by the millions

Let me tell you how the miracle food works. It’s a little bit technical, but I’ll explain it in plain language. It’s my favorite cancer cure — the cornerstone of my simple protocol to cure cancer at home. If cancer patients do only one thing, they should eat this miracle food every day.

It can’t hurt. It’s only food.

Actually, the miracle food is a combination of two foods that you mix together. You can get these foods at grocery stores and health food stores all over the developed world. And if that fails you can get them from the Internet.

In the 1950s, a medical researcher discovered that when you combine these two foods in a blender, they form a unique molecule that has an amazing power: it oxygenates the entire body all the way down to the cellular level. The researcher was nominated for a Nobel Prize seven times because of this discovery.

It’s critical for cancer patients to oxygenate their cells because cancer cells are anaerobic. That means they thrive in an oxygen-free environment. These abnormal cells live and multiply through a fermentation process and they can’t stand oxygen.

Like exposing a vampire to sunshine

Bringing fresh oxygen to cancer cells is like exposing a vampire to bright sunshine. If you’ve ever seen a vampire movie, you know that when sunlight shines on the vampire, the vampire recoils, shrivels up, and dies.

Well, the same thing happens when you blast cancer cells with an extra dose of fresh oxygen. They shrivel up and die by the millions. And that makes it critical that cancer patients regularly blast cancer cells with high doses of fresh oxygen. And that’s exactly what this miracle food does.

The cancer patient can easily get into a downward spiral: when the body’s cells start to run down, they attract less oxygen from the blood stream, causing them to become even more run down and attract even less oxygen. Cancer thrives in this downward spiral.

Here’s how the miracle food reverses the downward spiral:
1.Because this miracle food is water-soluble, the human body easily absorbs it so that it can travel right to the cells, which are in dire need of help!
2.In layman’s terms, this miracle food attaches “magnets” to the walls of the cells. These tiny “magnets” attract oxygen, pulling extra oxygen to the cells from the vast network of blood vessels.
3.This miracle food makes the cells’ walls more permeable so the newly attracted oxygen can actually enter the cells and energize them.

This oxygen disrupts the cancer cells’ anaerobic environment, causing the cancer cells to die by the millions! Eating this miracle food brings extra oxygen to ALL of your body’s cells. It reinvigorates normal cells, making them healthier and more disease resistant.

Like melting the Wicked Witch of the West

Oxygenating cancer causes the cancer to melt. If you’ve ever seen the Wizard of Oz, I’m sure you remember what happened when Dorothy splashed the bucket of water on the Wicked Witch of the West. The Witch moaned, “I’m melting… melting…” as she got “liquidated” into a dark puddle.

Well, that’s pretty much what happens to the cancer cells when you eat the miracle food. As the cancer melts away, your body eliminates the dead cells.

And there’s another HUGE benefit. The miracle food also oxygenates and energizes your normal cells, making them healthier and protecting them from turning cancerous. In other words, you get protection from cancer for as long as you eat this amazing food. This is the cheapest health insurance I know of.

This miracle food can benefit ALL OF US,
whether we have cancer or not

You see, this miracle food is for anyone who wants more energy and better health. So whether you’re looking to lose weight, get pain relief, get more energy, prevent cancer, or cure cancer, I believe you could benefit from the miracle food.

I eat the miracle food every day, even though I don’t have cancer. And I attribute my good health to this miracle food. Here’s how my health has changed:
•I used to get at least one or two colds every year. But I’ve only had one cold in all the years since I’ve been eating the miracle food. That’s because it has made my immune system as strong as steel!
•I used to get the flu every year. But I haven’t had the flu for years. Nor have I had any flu shots during that time.
•I’ve lost weight and kept it off for years. My weight is ideal for my height. Yet I’m not “on a diet,” and I don’t feel deprived or hungry. The miracle food is the cornerstone of the healthy eating plan I recommend in my Special Report, “How to cure almost any cancer at home for $5.15 a day.”
•I used to have trouble sleeping, but now I sleep like a baby.
•I used to run out of steam in the afternoon, but now my energy level is high throughout the day.
•I’m mentally sharp. In fact, from my home I play bridge on the Internet with people all over the world.
•I regularly sing in a quartet and have a ball.
•I’m in vibrant health, and I no longer have aches and pains.

Not bad for a guy who’s 80 years old, wouldn’t you agree? And the good news is, this miracle food could bring you and your loved ones these benefits as well.

I know of no other substance that makes every cell in your body healthier and kills cancer cells at the same time.

By the way, I don’t sell the miracle food. And I won’t make a dime if you go to the grocery story and buy it. I just want to tell you about it so you and your loved ones can benefit.

For full information about the miracle food, click here to order my new Special Report, “How to cure almost any cancer at home for $5.15 a day.”

Let me tell you about how the miracle food helped 80-year-old Beulah from South Carolina overcome terminal lung cancer.

Doctor remarks, “This can’t be the same woman!”

A South Carolina doctor made it crystal clear that there was no hope for Beulah’s lung cancer. On March 10, 2008, the doctor told her, “We have no treatment for you. You have six months to live.”

But Beulah’s daughter found out about the miracle food from a friend and persuaded her mother to take it. After all, she had nothing to lose.

Within two weeks, Beulah’s doctor saw definite improvement: the cancer had stopped spreading. And with each subsequent visit, Beulah’s cancer kept shrinking and shrinking. The doctor kept on pushing his chemo, but Beulah kept on refusing it.

After two months, the doctor told Beulah’s daughter, “I don’t know what’s going on with your mother, but her cancer is melting away.”

By Thanksgiving, 2008, the doctor was so astonished that he took Beulah’s newest x-ray to the doctor who’d taken the first x-ray of her cancer in March of that same year. Looking at the two x-rays, the doctor remarked, “This can’t be the same woman. There’s no cancer here!”

But it was the same woman. She was supposed to have died by September, according to his six-month prediction, but she had made it to Thanksgiving. And she was totally, 100 percent cancer free.

Beulah’s daughter, Peggy, loves to encourage people and help them get rid of their cancer. She told me I should list her phone number and e-mail address in my new Special Report in case any of my readers would like to contact her for details about Beulah’s amazing story. And that’s what I did: you’ll find her phone number and e-mail address in my report.

Stop the conspiracy of silence!

My clients routinely get rid of cancer using the same natural methods that Beulah used. Shouldn’t that be front-page news? Shouldn’t this story be on the evening news broadcasts of the national networks? Why does the cancer treatment industry keep these alternative treatments secret? I guess too much money is at stake.

If the cancer treatment industry is trying to perpetuate a conspiracy of silence, then it’s up to people like you and me to spread the truth far and wide. That’s the only way to break this conspiracy.

One courageous doctor who tried to break the conspiracy was the discoverer of the miracle food. Her discovery was so revolutionary that she was nominated for a Nobel Prize seven times. But the medical/drug establishment felt so threatened by her scientific breakthrough that they eliminated her funding, pulled the rug out from under her, and denied her access to sophisticated laboratory facilities. She lived out the rest of her days in obscurity.

Another courageous doctor who championed the miracle food, Dr. D.C. Roehm, M.D., said, “Cancer is easily curable. The treatment is dietary/lifestyle. The response is immediate. The cancer cell is weak and vulnerable.” (quoted in the “Townsend Letter for Doctors,” July 1990).

Though the medical establishment suppressed and ignored this discovery, it lives on through word-of-mouth. When people discover this incredible treatment and see what it can do, they can’t wait to tell their friends and family — anyone they care about and want to help.

I know of no other cancer cure that has reversed so many death sentences.

The cancer cure that fits on a recipe card

As I mentioned earlier, the miracle food is the cornerstone of my cancer cure:
•A method so simple it fits on a recipe card or index card you can tape to your refrigerator door
•A method so easy that anyone can do it
•A method so inexpensive at just $5.15 per day that almost everyone can afford it. What’s more, after six weeks the cost drops to $3.50 per day, making it even less expensive.

Believe it or not, I’ve seen terminal patients get rid of their cancer using only the miracle food I’ve been telling you about, which is the cornerstone of my protocol. When patients use my full protocol, which is so easy and inexpensive to do, cancer hardly stands a chance.

Click here to order my new Special Report, “How to cure almost any cancer at home for $5.15 a day.”

To keep the cancer treatment racket going, the medical establishment helps perpetuate dangerous myths about cancer.

Five cancer myths debunked

Poison your child with chemo OR ELSE!

You probably saw the news story about the 13-year-old Minnesota boy who fled the state with his mother to avoid another round of court-ordered chemotherapy. The first round of chemotherapy made the boy so sick he couldn’t stand the nausea. He vowed to kick and scream if they ever tried to force more of the chemo drug into him.

The boy wanted to use natural treatments instead of another round of chemo. But the government stepped in and ordered the mother to get her son back into chemotherapy or else!

Well, after a nationwide warrant was issued for the mother’s arrest, she and the boy had no choice but to return to Minnesota for another dreadful round of chemo.

What’s happened to health freedom in America? Doctors can get into big trouble just for recommending alternative treatments. And a doctor who uses natural methods to cure cancer patients can expect to face criminal charges sooner or later.

But isn’t America supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave? Why is our health freedom disappearing from America?

Statistical proof the miracle food works

The miracle food has demonstrated a success rate of 90 percent, according to the seven-time Nobel Prize nominee who discovered it. She accepted patients who had been written off by other doctors and gave them the miracle food.

In a 1967 interview over the South German Radio Network she said, “Even in these cases it is possible to restore health in a few months at most, I would truly say 90 percent of the time.”

That’s why the miracle food is the cornerstone of my protocol for curing cancer. You can tip the odds even more in your favor by the full protocol — not just the miracle food.

Remember, my protocol is so simple it fits on a recipe card or index card you can tape to your refrigerator door. And I recommend you do that as a daily reminder.

Surprisingly, some Canadian researchers are working on a project to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Bill Henderson Protocol,” as they call it. I’m helping the researchers get more responses from people who’ve used my protocol. The researchers need about 1,000 more responses to get some meaningful statistics.

I look forward to telling you about the statistics when the research is done.

And keep in mind how affordable my protocol is: just $5.15 a day.

How to know whether you’re curing your cancer

One of the best things about my method is that there’s an easy way to tell whether it’s working or not.

You see, my research has uncovered a home cancer test that’s as accurate as home pregnancy tests. It’s a test practically no one knows about, and it’s spot-on accurate.

A test number over 50 means: yes, you have cancer that needs treatment. If your number is less than 50, you’re cancer free. And the test also shows whether your cancer is getting better or worse.

For example, if your first test gives you a 55, and your next test a month later gives you a 52, you still have cancer, but it’s moving in the right direction. And if you stay the course, your next number will probably be below 50, which means you’re cancer-free.

In my new Special Report, I tell you where to order this home cancer test.

Half of all men — and a third of all women — will get cancer

My new Special Report, How to Cure Almost Any Cancer at Home for $5.15 a Day, is perhaps the best thing I’ve ever written on cancer, because:
•It reflects my latest research and gives you my most up-to-date recommendations.
•It’s simple, concise, and practical.
•It contains information a cancer patient can quickly and easily use to start getting rid of cancer TODAY!
•It contains true stories with remarkable testimonials that haven’t been published in previous books — stories that give a ray of hope to the hopeless.

I do publish a 300-page book with more information than you’ll find in this Special Report, but it’s more expensive and not everyone has the patience to wade through 300 pages. But anyone can quickly and easily read my new Special Report, which contains the distilled essence of what I know about cancer and the best way to treat it. This Special Report is for those who just want to “get to the point” — fast.

Here’s why you need my new Special Report, whether you have cancer or not. Half of all American men will eventually get cancer. And one third of all American women will get it. That means that sooner or later, cancer will strike someone you know and love.

Imagine this. You could easily show my Special Report to a friend or loved one who faces the horror of chemo and radiation. That could make you a lifesaver. A hero.

But if you don’t order my new Special Report, you won’t be in a position to save the life of a loved one — or even to save your own life if, God forbid, you ever get cancer.

After you’ve read my new Special Report, you’ll literally have more practical knowledge about cancer than 99 percent of cancer doctors. You’ll impress your friends, neighbors and colleagues with what you know about cancer. And your knowledge could actually save their lives.

I can only do so much to break the conspiracy of silence on how to cure cancer. I need the help of friends like you to tell others that there’s a better way to get rid of cancer.

In an unusual story of Rosario Schielzeth, a woman who turned 104 in June, newspaper reporters wanted to know her secret for a long lifei. Her answer consisted of just two simple rules that she’s always lived by:
1.Watching what she eats, and
2.Staying away from doctors

Before you assume that this lady lives in some far-off country where her life principles can’t be questioned or proven, know that she lives in Sarasota, Florida. She needs a walker as an aid in moving around, but other than that she has perfect vision since her cataract surgery, and doesn’t need a hearing aid.

And she still manages to go to the movies, the mall, and the beach for ice cream. Another amazing thing about her is that she’s the round-the-clock care-taker of her 87-year-old daughter, who has Alzheimer’s disease.

Rosario and her daughter with Alzheimer’s serve as a powerful harbinger of what is to come for future generations. It has long been predicted that the youth will not live as long as their parents. The subtle unstated implication however is that this also includes chronic degenerative diseases that will prematurely kill or cripple you.

That is why it is SO VITAL that you and your children embrace the health principles taught on this site that could easily prevent this from happening in your family.

Apart from vitamins, Rosario reportedly only takes one pill a day, a mild blood-pressure medication. This is in stark contrast to the average American senior who is on more than 31 medications per person, according to recent statistics.ii

While one can argue about the many factors involved with making it past the 100-year mark, I believe Rosario’s advice really does cover the basics. Your diet accounts for about 80 percent of the health benefits you reap from a healthy lifestyle, and it’s become quite clear that avoiding drugs is a good idea if you want to live a long and healthy life. While many still have trouble grasping this idea, the statistics tell a powerful story when it comes to pharmaceutical drug use.

My mom is now 77 and my dad is 82 and neither of them take any drugs, and I am certain many reading this are older and also avoiding drugs, so it is doable.

Prescription Pain Killers are Now the LEADING Cause of Accidental Death

According to the latest data collected by the National Center for Health statistics, poisoning, primarily by prescription drugs, has now surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. In 2008, 41,000 Americans died from poisoning, compared to 38,000 lethal car accidents. The data, which can be found on the CDC’s web siteiii, shows that:
•In 2008, poisoning became the leading cause of injury death in the United States and nearly 9 out of 10 poisoning deaths are caused by drugs.
•During the past three decades, the number of drug poisoning deaths increased six-fold from about 6,100 in 1980 to 36,500 in 2008.
•Opioid analgesics (prescription pain killers) were involved in more than 40 percent of all drug poisoning deaths in 2008, up from about 25 percent in 1999.
•During the most recent decade, the number of drug poisoning deaths involving opioid analgesics more than tripled from about 4,000 in 1999 to 14,800 in 2008.

While the drug poisoning death rate has risen among all age groups in the last decade, the death rate among adults between 45-54 is now the highest. Death by medicine is a 21st-century epidemic, and America’s “war on drugs” is clearly directed at the wrong enemy when you consider that prescription drugs are now killing far more people than illegal drugs.

The most commonly abused prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma now cause more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. In fact, prescription drugs are now the preferred “high” for many, especially teens, as they are typically used legally, which eliminates the stigma of being a “junkie.”

Americans Consume 80 Percent of the Global Supply of Pain Pills!

The skyrocketing rate of prescription drug addiction has also led to a massive increase in robberies, which has led some pharmacies to quit stocking the sought-after drugs. Meanwhile we’re seeing ever-increasing amounts of legislation popping up designed to increase the use of drugs while preventing you to seek alternative non-drug treatments, especially for pain. To put these statistics into even further context, consider this:

According to an article in Mail Online published last monthiv:

“Americans consume 80 percent of the world’s supply of painkillers — more than 110 tons of pure, addictive opiates every year — as the country’s prescription drug abuse epidemic explodes. That’s enough drugs to give every single American 64 Percocets or Vicodin. And pain pill prescriptions continue to surge, up 600 percent in 10 years, thanks to doctors who are more and more willing to hand out drugs to patients who are suffering.” [Emphasis mine]

Rampant Conflicts of Interest Fuel Drug Use and Deaths

Take Florida for example. Under the 2012 PIP reform law, Floridians will no longer be able to seek massage therapy or acupuncture treatments after a car accident, as these services will no longer be covered under Florida PIP insurancev. The primary treatment option left for those who suffer from pain as a result of a car accident is then—you guessed it—pain killers! This despite the fact that the most common auto accident-related injury is soft tissue damage, which is ideally treated through massage, not pain killers that can potentially add addiction and liver damage to your misery…

The bill was signed into law on May 4, 2012. The majority of the bill’s content will take effect on 1 July 2012, while the rest will not take effect until 1 January 2013. In a nauseating example of how financial conflicts of interest drive this health-harming trend, Florida governor Rick Scott has more than one link to Big Pharma, and the promotion of pain killers in particular:
•In 1997, Scott was implicated in the biggest Medicare fraud case in US history. According to a 2011 Mother Jones articlevi, he “stepped down as CEO of Columbia/HCA after the hospital giant was fined $1.7 billion and found guilty of swindling the government.”
•Then, last year, as he became Florida’s new governor, he initially tried to repeal an anti-fraud database designed to track fraudulent distribution of addictive prescription drugs in Florida. Only after public outcry and months of picketing, Scott announced the database would not be repealed after all.vii
•In 2001 Scott co-founded Solantic, which has 32 walk-in clinics. He reportedly remained involved in its operations until 2010, when he placed the $62 million investment into a trust under his wife’s name. The Tampa Bay Times reported on the scandal last year, statingviii:

“Scott has aggressively pursued policies like testing state workers and welfare recipients for drugs, switching Medicaid patients to private HMOs and shrinking public health clinics. All these changes could benefit that $62 million investment, but Scott sees no legal conflict between his public role and private investments. And, experts say, under Florida law he is correct. A few days before he took office in January, Scott moved his shares in Solantic Corp., a chain of 32 urgent care centers, to the Frances Annette Scott Revocable Trust.”
•The 2012 PIP reform law was strongly promoted by Rick Scott—changes which will undoubtedly benefit his wife’s clinics. Under the revised PIP law, only medical doctors, osteopathic physicians, dentists, physician’s assistants or advanced registered nurse practitioners are approved for PIP reimbursement. Chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists are specifically excluded. By removing the option to treat post-accident pain with chiropractic adjustments, massage, and/or acupuncture, accident victims are left with but one option: pain killers and antidepressants.

Stunning Statistics

A previous article on The American Dream website offers an eye-opening list of US drug use statisticsix. For the full list, please see the original article. Here are but a handful of the 18 statistics listed:
•More than 25 percent of all children and teens in the United States take prescription drugs on a regular basis
•More than 1 in 5 American adults, and 1 in 4 women, take at least one drug for “psychiatric” or “behavioral” disordersx
•Approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug. Many children in foster care are prescribed as many as five different psychotropic drugs
•The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is the highest in the world
•Prescription drugs cost about 50 percent more in the US than they do in other countries. Meanwhile, tens of billions of dollars are spent on pharmaceutical marketing in the United States each year, and more than two dozen pharmaceutical companies each made over a billion dollars in profits during the year of 2008 alone

In related news, an excerpt from the book, Degree Mills: The Billion-Dollar Industry That Has Sold Over a Million Fake Diplomasxi raises another disturbing issue, namely that of fake doctors. According to the authors, Ezell and Bear, the number of fake PhD’s in the US outnumber real, earned PhD’s. In fact, more than HALF of all people claiming to have a PhD in the US have a fake degree! Unfortunately, this problem is not restricted to academics, who, hopefully, would not be able to inflict too much bodily harm. Fake medical degrees are also “an urgent problem,” according to the authors.

“Twenty-five years ago, a Congressional committee calculated that there were over 5,000 fake doctors in the United States, and there are many more now. People have died because of these fakes,” they write.

Furthermore:

“There are more than 3,300 unrecognized universities, worldwide, many of them outright fakes, selling bachelor’s, master’s, doctorates, law, and medical degrees to anyone willing to pay the price. No nation is immune from the problem. One international diploma mill, with offices in Europe and the Middle East and mailing addresses in the United Kingdom, run by Americans, has sold more than 450,000 degrees—bachelor’s, master’s, doctorates, medicine, and law—to clients worldwide, who did nothing more than write a check.”

How Can You Avoid Being Killed by a Prescription Drug?

So what’s the answer?

First of all, it’s imperative that you understand the risks you take each time you opt for a drug treatment, and that those risks are exponentially increased when you take more than one drug. No one (except for those who intentionally overdose) expects these medications to injure or kill them, but they can do just that, and as you can see, it happens quite frequently. As you just learned, you’re at greater risk of accidentally dying from a side effect of a drug—especially pain killers—than you are behind the wheel of your car.

In a study released last year by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrationxii (SAMSHA), officials emphasized that people should assume there IS risk in prescribed medicines.

The truth is, the only way to avoid all risk, including death, from prescription drugs is to not take them at all. Which brings us back to where we started. Rosario, at the age of 104, is a perfect example that your health is not at all dependent on drugs. Rather, it is the result of a healthy, active lifestyle. Remember, it is your body, not your doctor’s and not your pharmacist’s, so it is up to you to make the decision of what drugs to take, if any. Be SURE you are aware of the risks of any medication prescribed to you, and weigh them against any possible benefit. Then you can make a well-informed decision of whether it’s a risk you’re willing to take.

Staying well naturally, without the use of drugs or even frequent conventional medical care, is not only possible, it may be the most successful strategy you can employ to increase your longevity. If you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, you most likely will never need medications in the first place.

This includes:
1.Proper Food Choices: For a comprehensive guide on which foods to eat and which to avoid, see my nutrition plan. Generally speaking, you should focus your diet on whole, unprocessed foods (organic vegetables, grass-fed meats, raw dairy, nuts, and so forth) that come from healthy, sustainable, local sources, such as a small organic farm not far from your home. For the best nutrition and health benefits, you will want to eat a good portion of your food raw. Personally, I aim to eat about 75 percent of my food raw, including raw eggs and humanely raised pastured organic animal products that have not been raised on a CAFO (confined animal feeding operation).

Nearly as important as knowing which foods to eat more of is knowing which foods to avoid, and topping the list is fructose. When consumed in excess, sugar acts as a toxin and drives multiple disease processes in your body, not the least of which is insulin resistance, a major cause of accelerated aging.
2.Comprehensive Exercise Program, including High-Intensity Exercise like Peak Fitness: Even if you’re eating the healthiest diet in the world, you still need to exercise to reach the highest levels of health, and you need to be exercising effectively, which means including not only core-strengthening exercises, strength training, and stretching but also high-intensity activities into your rotation. High-intensity interval-type training boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which is essential for optimal health, strength and vigor. I’ve discussed the importance of Peak Fitness for your health on numerous occasions, so for more information, please review this previous article.
3.Stress Reduction and a Positive Attitude: You cannot be optimally healthy if you avoid addressing the emotional component of your health and longevity, as your emotional state plays a role in nearly every physical disease — from heart disease and depression, to arthritis and cancer. Effective coping mechanisms are a major longevity-promoting factor in part because stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day. The Emotional Freedom Technique, meditation, prayer, social support and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium.
4.Proper Sun Exposure to Optimize Vitamin D: We have long known that it is best to get your vitamin D from sun exposure, and if at all possible, I strongly urge you to make sure you’re getting out in the sun on a daily basis. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that oral vitamin D may not provide the identical benefits, although it’s still better than none at all.
5.Take High Quality Animal-Based Omega-3 Fats: Animal-based omega-3 fat is a strong factor in helping people live longer, and many experts believe that it is likely the predominant reason why the Japanese are the longest lived race on the planet.
6.Avoid as Many Chemicals, Toxins, and Pollutants as Possible: This includes tossing out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air fresheners, bug sprays, lawn pesticides, and insecticides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alternatives.
7.Avoid Prescription Drugs. Do you homework. You can start on this site by using the search engine at the top of every page, which links to previous articles we have written over the past 15 years. Just type in the name of the drug or condition you are taking it for, and you will likely come up with dozens if not hundreds of pages of information that will help you develop a strategy to stop using the drugs by changing your lifestyle to take control of your health

If you suffer from a debilitating health condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes, or know someone who does, it might be worth your while to check out the Gerson Diet. Traditionally used to treat and cure cancer, the Gerson Diet, which was developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1930s as part of his famous Gerson Therapy, can also help treat and cure a variety of other degenerative diseases, including lupus, heart disease, and many autoimmune disorders. Here are five reasons why adopting the Gerson Diet — or if you are already healthy, the official Gerson Guidelines for General Nutrition — may be the right choice for your health:

1) The Gerson Diet promotes full-body detoxification. When Dr. Gerson first came up with the Gerson Diet, his intention was to develop a natural solution to cure his chronic migraine headaches. But in the process, he discovered that the foods and nutrients used in the protocol also address the underlying causes of a number of other health conditions, including his own skin tuberculosis. From there, Dr. Gerson’s research led him to the discovery that his diet, which he steadily built upon and improved over the course of many years, mitigated other conditions like lung tuberculosis, kidney failure, and of course, cancer. (http://gerson.org/gerpress/dr-max-gerson/)

A key component of the Gerson Diet, and the primary reason why it works so well for so many people, is its powerful ability to detoxify the body. Because the regimen involves loading up on nutrient-dense foods, as well as fresh, enzyme-rich juice blends, cells throughout the body cannot help but shed the toxins they have built up over the course of many years. And because the Gerson Diet involves the regular use of coffee enemas, the colon, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs are all continually cleansed of the junk that is flushed out from the diet itself.

You can view the official food list for the Gerson Diet here:
http://gerson.org/pdfs/Foods_For_The_Gerson_Diet.pdf

2) The Gerson Diet incorporates all-natural, all-organic foods. As you will notice, everything on the Gerson Diet food list is low in sodium, fats, and proteins, and there are no meats permitted. While such a diet may not be necessary or even healthy for a person without an existing debilitating health condition, it can work exceptionally well for those with specific health conditions that are known to respond well to the treatment. You can view a list of these conditions here:
http://gerson.org/gerpress/faqs-general/

For healthy individuals, you may want to consider adopting the modified diet outlined as part of the Guidelines for General Nutrition from the Gerson Perspective: http://gerson.org

The important thing to note about the Gerson Diet is that everything included in the protocol is completely natural and organic, and there are no drugs or other synthetic treatments involved. This is why the Gerson Diet is so versatile and easy for many people to incorporate into their lives — if you can prepare vegetable dishes and use a juicer, you can take on the Gerson Diet.

3) The Gerson Diet delivers quick nutrition in biodynamic form. A significant portion of the Gerson Diet involves juicing several times a day, the purpose of which is to flood the body with nutrients in their most absorbable and biodynamic forms. When all is said and done between the juicing and meal preparation, an individual on the Gerson Diet will consume the equivalent of between 15 and 20 pounds of organically-grown fruits and vegetables every day, which illustrates the immense nutritional volume consumed as part of the diet.

Patients with severe health conditions will often consume as many as 13 fresh juices daily, which continually oxygenate the blood throughout the day, stimulate the metabolism, and of course, promote detoxification. When combined with biological potassium, Lugol’s iodine, vitamin B-12, thyroid hormone, and pancreatic enzymes, all of which are included as part of the regimen, the juices and meals consumed for the diet provide incredible nutrition in its most bioavailable form. (http://gerson.org/gerpress/the-gerson-therapy/)

4) The Gerson Diet can help treat and cure a variety of chronic illnesses. Since the Gerson Diet does not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs and is 100 percent nutrition-based, its healing potential is diverse and nearly limitless. Melanoma, lymphoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, Duke’s C colorectal cancer, Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, diabetes, heart disease, liver failure, arthritis, allergies, and autoimmune disease all tend to respond well to the Gerson Diet, when followed in strict accordance with the Gerson Institute’s guidelines, which you can learn more about here:
http://gerson.org/gerpress/get-started/

5) The Gerson Diet will not cost you an arm and a leg, and is completely safe. Perhaps the most attractive aspect of the Gerson Diet is that it is easy on the wallet. Besides the relatively modest costs associated with visiting a Gerson Clinic, all of which are located overseas due to the federal government’s intolerance for alternative cancer treatment centers here in the U.S., the only real costs associated with the Gerson Diet are for the food. When compared to conventional cancer treatments, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars and even more, the Gerson Diet is a steal.

If you are already healthy and would simply like to follow the Gerson Institute’s guidelines for maintaining your health through diet, visit: http://gerson.org

CDC begins hyping flu season early to push more useless vaccines

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is off to an early start this year creating panic and hysteria about the upcoming flu season, which the pharma-backed agency claims is arriving much earlier than normal. According to a recent Associated Press (AP) announcement, suspected flu cases are already starting to emerge, primarily in southeastern states, and the CDC is urging everyone to get their flu shots now to avoid contracting the disease.

We have heard it all before. A few people are starting to get sick in a handful of states, so get your flu shot right away to avoid becoming one of the 24,000 Americans who will allegedly die this year as a result of the flu. Or is it 36,000 Americans? This number changes so often and so drastically, depending on who you ask and what their agenda entails, that it is hard to say for sure. But forget about the details — just go get your flu shot to avoid dying.

This; of course, is the essence of the CDC’s fear-based approach to pushing the flu shot. The agency’s only apparent goal in all this flu shot madness is to get as many people vaccinated for the flu as possible, which it hopes to accomplish most effectively this year by warning people that the circulating flu strain is the most deadly it has been in a decade, and that the flu shot being administered just so happens to be a perfect match.

What an amazing coincidence. The flu strain circulating this year could kill more people than ever, according to the government, and the government’s vaccine of choice just so happens to be a perfect match for targeting the strain in question. One might think the CDC had to hire skilled clairvoyants to make such an accurate and amazingly convenient prediction, especially at a time when the safety and effectiveness of flu vaccines is on the forefront of many people’s minds.

CDC manufacturing lies to generate fear-based compliance with flu shot agenda
In truth, the CDC possesses no special psychic abilities, nor can the agency truly say for sure whether or not getting the flu vaccine will protect people from this supposedly “very deadly” flu strain. The only thing the CDC can do, it turns out, is scare people into getting the flu shot by claiming this year’s flu will be more severe than normal, and that the vaccine is the only remedy. But you can only cry wolf so many times before people start ignoring you (remember the failed swine flu “pandemic?”).

Then, there is the inconvenient fact that flu shots do not even work, a fact that was revealed in a 2011 study published in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet. Besides allowing their muscles to be injected with high levels of aluminum, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), mercury (Thimerosal) and other toxins, people who get flu shots only derive a 1.5 percent decreased risk of contracting the flu in a best case scenario, the study found. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

This landmark study and many others that have arrived at unfavorable outcomes for flu vaccines are widely available online these days, and more Americans than ever are aware of them. Simply telling people to get flu shots for their own protection, in other words, is no longer a viable tactic for the CDC, which is why the agency is now resorting to even more fear, lies and pseudoscientific nonsense to convince people to get flu shots, regardless of their failed track record of safety and effectiveness.

Modern children are being poisoned like never before in the history of human civilization. No wonder the rate of autism in America has skyrocketed to 1 in 88 children over the last few decades, putting autism squarely in the “epidemic” category.

But don’t expect any CDC action on this epidemic. The CDC knows full well why autism rates are exploding across America, but instead of admitting the truth, the CDC is running a cover story to protect the corporate interests of the real culprits: the medical corporations poisoning children for profit (see below).

It’s not just medical companies that are poisoning our children, by the way: They’re also being poisoned in other insidious ways that suppress free thinking, assault good health and crush children’s souls.

Here’s my list of the ten worst ways in which our children are being poisoned right now.

#1) Multiple vaccinations that inject mercury, aluminum, MSG and formaldehyde into children
It is an admitted fact that today’s vaccines given to children are intentionally formulated with mercury, aluminum, MSG and formaldehyde, all of which is insanely injected into the body of infants and children.

This is openly admitted by the CDC itself, which has emerged as a criminal front group for the vaccine industry. Rather than trying to determine why vaccines are causing so much autism, the CDC tries to hide the evidence, delay the hearings, and deploy smoke and mirrors to protect the criminally-operated vaccine industry where nearly every single vaccine manufacturer operating today has been found guilty of multiple felony crimes.

#2) Mercury fillings
Astonishingly, dentists in the USA continue to fill children’s mouths with the most toxic heavy metal known to man: Mercury.

They don’t call it mercury, of course, because that would raise too many questions. Instead, they call them “silver amalgam fillings.” But the No. 1 ingredient in these fillings is, of course, the heavy metal mercury.

#3) School lunches that use toxic processed food ingredients, including sodium nitrite
School lunches continue to serve our children a toxic cocktail of chemical food additives, partially-hydrogenated oils, chemical preservatives and even cancer-causing color fixers like sodium nitrite.

Sodium nitrite causes pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and brain tumors in children. It is intentionally added to hot dogs, sausage, bacon, pepperoni, lunch meats and nearly all processed meats. A nation that eats sodium nitrite on a regular basis will have sky-high rates of cancer as a result.

In addition to sodium nitrite, school lunches are also filled with GMOs which we now know cause huge cancer tumors in animals. The USDA, which is already in bed with Monsanto on the regulatory side, also buys masses of genetically engineered food to be used in school lunch programs.

#4) Television programming that poisons children’s brains with messages of materialism and inadequacy
Television was invented as a way to educate and uplift and population, but it has become dominated by commercial interests who brainwash children into worshipping materialism and being manipulated into feelings of inadequacy.

The point of this is to push sugary cereals, action figures, toys and junk foods into the minds of children so that they nag parents into buying it for them. Virtually all Saturday morning television, for example, has devolved into a “nag factor manipulation matrix” designed to brainwash children into begging their parents to purchase consumable items that generate profits for corporate advertisers.

Where is the education in television these days? It is now relegated to a few channels that focus on documentaries and non-fiction subjects, and even those channels are still funded by corporate interests.

#5) Public education that teaches revisionist history and toxic ideas about society
American children are being insidiously poisoned by public schools and all the atrociously damaging ideas those schools teach.

Many schools are now teaching what is essentially socialism or even communism. They attack and ridicule students who believe in the founding principles of America: patriotism, the Bill of Rights, individual liberty and the U.S. Constitution.

Students are also now being microchipped and taught that they are slaves of the state.

Just recently, in fact, several students were suspended from Kearney High School for painting the American flag on their chests for a lip-sync music video project sponsored by the school.

This is all a type of mental poisoning of our children, done under the banner of “education.”

#6) Toxic personal care products made with cancer-causing poisons: Shampoo, skin care, toothpaste, air fresheners, laundry soap and more
Children everywhere are being bathed in toxic poisons from all their personal care products, including soaps and shampoos, laundry detergents, fabric softeners and even toothpaste.

Most personal care products are loaded with cancer-causing synthetic chemicals. Laundry detergents bathe children’s clothing in cancer-causing chemicals which are then worn by the children and absorbed into their bodies. When children become teens, the toxic burden is increased even more through deodorants, makeup and cosmetics, perfumes and colognes. Nearly all conventional body care products contain cancer-causing chemicals, including the high-end, expensive brands.

#7) Toxic hydrofluosilicic acid dumped into the water supply after being mislabeled “fluoride”
Children are being wildly poisoned by the dumping of hydrofluosilicic acid into the water supply. This is incorrectly called “fluoride” but it’s actually a toxic byproduct of the chemical fertilizer industry or aluminum smelting industry.

As Natural News has proven, fluoride is sold as an insecticide chemical and a metals smelting chemical. It is one of the most toxic substances yet discovered, which is why it kills insects so effectively.

Fluoride is so toxic that dumping it into a river or stream in the United States would be considered an act of ecological terrorism. Yet, somehow, it is legal to dump it into the water supply of human beings who then urinated it back into the rivers and streams where it poisons the environment.

#8) Toxic indoor air environments at homes and schools: Formaldehyde, molds, glues and synthetic pollutants
Indoor air pollution is a significant source of toxic chemical exposure for children. Carpets, paints, wood floor and even furniture all give off toxic fumes that can promote cancer and aggravate allergies.

Many homes, schools and commercial buildings are contaminated with toxic molds that are also ingested by infants and children. Even hospitals circulate potentially deadly superbugs that can kill children.

#9) Video games
Make no mistake that children — especially boys — are being mentally poisoned by video games. These games teach boys that violence is normal through the relentless assault of ultra-realistic first-person shooters that put players in the position of violently murdering other human beings.

These games desensitize children to the real world, and they train children to grow up and join the military. Some of the most popular games are actually engineered and published by the military as recruiting systems for teens.

Take a look at the ultra realism (and violence) of “Far Cry 3” in this teaser video. This is what your kids are playing when you buy them an Xbox:

#10) Mind-altering psychiatric drugs
One of the greatest crimes against children today is found in the realm of psychiatry. That dark art of anti-medicine pretends to “diagnose” children with “disorders” which are then claimed to be treated by mind-altering psychiatric drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac.

The entire industry of modern psychiatry is a criminal drug ring conducted for the sole purpose of generating profits by treating children as pharmaceutical disposal objects. Most of the psychiatric disorders found in the DSM-V manual are completely fabricated works of fiction. The drug industry and modern psychiatry run their fraud as a tag-team of criminals who prey on children.

The most effective group fighting this today is the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), found at www.CCHRint.org

I have also recorded and produced a music video on the psychiatric drugging of children which you can see on YouTube.

Yes, in addition to being the editor of Natural News, I’m also an established activist rapper. See more of my songs and music videos at www.Amethios.com

By Dr. Mercola

It was once thought that any brain function lost was irretrievable. Today, research into what’s referred to as “brain plasticity” has proven that this is not the case. On the contrary, your brain continues to make new neurons throughout life in response to mental activity.

Aside from toxicity, our modern lifestyle plays a part in cognitive decline, as described by Dr. Michael Merzenich, professor emeritus at the University of California, who has pioneered research in brain plasticity for more than 30 years.

He founded Scientific Learning Corporation in Oakland, California, and Posit Science in San Francisco; both specialize in science research into brain training software.

Dr. Merzenich’s career arose from an interest in philosophy, and a fascination with the nature and origin of the human persona and individuality, and how brain processes might account for the evolution of our individual abilities. He believed that in those who have learning disabilities or develop psychiatric illnesses, the natural progressions of these brain processes must have encountered errors.

Use It or Lose It — the Principles of Brain Plasticity

The inherent plasticity of the brain was discovered some 30 years ago, and not long thereafter, animal models demonstrated that brain deterioration and aging were in fact reversible, provided the appropriate brain engagement. Dr. Merzenich describes brain plasticity as follows:

“The basic concept is simple. The brain changes physically, functionally, and chemically, as you acquire any ability or skill. You know this instinctively. Something must be changing as your abilities improve, or as new abilities emerge. You are actually remodeling your brain machinery by ‘practicing’ the skill; those physical changes account for your learning.

Actually what the brain is doing is changing its local wiring, changing the details of how the machinery controlling your behavior is connected. It’s also changing itself in other physical, chemical, and functional ways. Collectively, those changes account for the improvement or acquisition of any human ability.

You probably haven’t realizd it, but as you acquire an ability – for example, the ability to read – you have actually created a system in the brain that does not exist, that’s not in place, in the non-reader. It [the ability; the brain system that controls the ability] actually evolves in you as it has been acquired through experience or learning.”

As Dr. Merzenich explains, your brain is designed and constructed to be stimulated and challenged, and to carefully examine, resolve and interpret your environment. During the early days of mankind’s development, keeping track of the details of immediate human environments was imperative for survival.

Today, however, we tend to try to remove ourselves from the details of life. For example, instead of keeping track of appointments and to-do lists in our head, we use electronic gadgets with reminder features. Our streets are paved and lit, requiring virtually no attention to navigate from one location to another. And if you don’t sufficiently challenge your brain with new, surprising information, it eventually begins to deteriorate.

“Generally, by the third or fourth decade in life, you’re in decline,” Dr. Merzenich says. “One of the things that happens across this period is that you go from a period of the acquisition of abilities to largely using abilities that have been acquired earlier in life. By that I mean to say, most of the fundamental skills that you apply in your profession or in your everyday life are things you have mastered at a young age, and you’re now doing them in ‘automatic pilot’ mode.

To a large extent, you’re operating most of your day without really being consciously engaged in the things you’re doing. You’re substantially disengaged: ‘sleepwalking through life.’

This inattention to detail is substantially a product of modern culture. Modern culture is all about minimizing environmental challenges and surprises… about enabling brainless stereotypy in our basic actions so that our brains can be engaged at more abstract levels of operations. We’re no longer interested in the details of things in our world. Because our brains are highly dependent in their functional operations in recording information in detail, they slowly deteriorate. Without that recorded detail, memory and brain speed are compromised.”

Contributing Factors to Cognitive Decline, and How to Counteract it

With age, brain researchers have found that there’s an increase in “chatter” in your brain. Dr. Merzenich explains:

“Your brain becomes less precise in how it’s resolving information as you’re operating and listening in language, as you’re operating in vision, or as you’re operating in controlling your actions. We actually record these ‘noisier’ processes within the brain as you age. In fact, we can correlate the growing ‘chatter’ quite directly with the slowing down of your processing.

You know, every older person is slower in their actions, slower in their decisions, and less fluent in their operations than when they’re younger. They’re slower because the brain basically is dealing with information that is represented in its machinery in a fuzzier, more degraded form.”

What research into brain plasticity shows us is that by providing your brain with appropriate stimulation, you can counteract this degeneration. A key factor or ingredient necessary for improving brain function or reversing functional decline is the seriousness of purpose with which you engage in a task. In other words, the task must be important to you, or somehow meaningful or interesting — it must hold your attention. Rote memorization of nonsensical or unimportant items or even heavy work at non-challenging tasks will not stimulate your brain to create new connections or neurons.

Dr. Merzenich has been instrumental in the development of a kind of “brain gym” environment — a computer-based brain training program that can help you sharpen a range of skills, from reading and comprehension to improved memorization and more. The program is called Brain HQ.1

“There are some very useful exercises at www.BrainHQ.com that are free, and using them can give a person a better understanding of how exercising your brain can drive it in a rejuvenating direction. Using exercises at BrainHQ, most people, of any age, can drive sharp improvements in brain speed and accuracy, and thereby rewire the brain so that it again represents information in detail,” he says.

“Basically, what you’re doing is reducing the chatter — the ‘noisiness’ — of the processes in your brain. That impacts your capacity, for example, to record and remember that information. When the information the brain is shipping around in its machinery is in a degraded form, when it’s fuzzy, when it’s imprecise, all of the uses that it makes of it are also degraded. When you rejuvenate those elementary abilities, you significantly recover your ‘higher’ brain powers.”

Who Can Benefit from a “Brain Gym”?

Everybody’s brain is plastic, including yours, so no matter what your age or current level of brain function, your brain can improve to some degree or another. Dr. Merzenich and his colleagues have specialized in training children, primarily those with learning disabilities or impairments, using similar approaches. More than 4 million struggling kids have been trained so far. But seniors and adults of all ages are also using these programs at BrainHQ.com in increasing numbers. Individuals in all age groups have been found to reap significant rewards.

Children operating in the 10th to 20th percentile of academic performance are commonly able to improve their scores to the middle or average level with 20-30 hours of intensive computer-based training.

“That’s a big difference for the child,” he says. “It carries most children who are near the bottom of the class, on the average, to be somewhere in the middle or above average in the class. And that gives struggling children a chance to really succeed and in many cases excel in school.”

Careful controlled studies in seniors have also been reported in scientific journals. After 40 hours of computer-based training, the average improvement in cognitive performance across the board was 14 years. On average, if you were 70 years old when you underwent the training after 40 hours of brain training, your cognitive abilities operated like that of a 56-year old. Equally strong or even greater effects were seen in 40 to 50 year olds using the program. Individuals who worked on the BrainHQ exercises at home did just as well as those who completed training in a clinic or research center.

How to Implement a Brain Training Program

So, how does such a training program work, and what’s the optimal way to implement it in order to maximize the benefits?

“One of the great advantages that we have is that there’s a very large body of scientific information that informs us about the optimum brain training approach,” Dr. Merzenich says. “It comes from understanding, on a scientific level, the basis of what controls brain change. We know how the machine operates to control its own remodeling. We know that you have to be engaged attentively, and in a sense that the more attentively focused you are on the training tasks, the greater the positive benefits of training.

We know that rewards have to occur, or information or feedback about how you’re doing have to occur, in a specific and timely way to drive the optimum changes in the brain. The way difficulties change in the task are also crucial for driving changes with highest proficiency.

One simple thing we do is to [continually] adjust the difficulty level of the task, so that every trainee is at a level in which they get most things correct but they’re still capable of error. Because only when you’re in this demanding situation, only when it matters to the brain, does the machinery turn on to change the brain. We actually regulate this, and as the person progresses session by session, day by day, they notch up their performance to higher and higher and higher and higher and higher levels.”

Ideally, it would be wise to invest at least 20 minutes a day. But no more than five to seven minutes is to be spent on a specific task. When you spend longer amounts of time on a task, the benefits weaken. According to Dr. Merzenich, the primary benefits occur in the first five or six minutes of the task.

You can typically improve yourself to the highest practical or possible level in anywhere between five to a dozen brief sessions of seven or eight minutes each. Again, having a sense of purpose is crucial.

“When it matters to you, you are going to drive changes in your brain,” he explains. “That’s something always to keep in mind. If what you’re doing seems senseless, meaningless, if it does not matter to you, then you’re gaining less from it.”

Dr. Merzenich developed a website, Brain HQ.com, to help take advantage of the brain’s ability to repair.The Brain HQ website has many different exercises designed to improve brain function and it also allows you to track and monitor your progress over time. While there are many similar sites on the web, Brain HQ is one of the oldest and most widely used, and its programs are supported by dozens of published science studies and the most complete confirmation of behavioral benefits and brain rejuvenation.

How Your Daily Lifestyle Can Improve Your Brain Function

Aside from engaging in a computer-based brain exercise program, Dr. Merzenich lists several things you can do on a daily basis, as part of your day-to-day lifestyle, to help maintain optimal brain fitness:
•Get 15-30 minutes of physical exercise each day, and when exercising, think about using your brain to control your actions. That means, skip the iPod and instead take in the details of your environment.

“Reconstruct the environment you’re walking through in your mind. Basically, we are constructed to take in the details of our physical environments, and to interpret and reconstruct them. That’s a critical form of exercise for us basically to refine our navigational skills and abilities in this sense – to basically look at the landmarks, to look at the details, to record them in detail,” he says.

Secondly, look for and take note of surprises in your environment. “If you walk across the landscape and are paying attention, you cannot take a walk for 15, 20, or 30 minutes without being surprised or delighted many times,” he says. “And the brain loves surprises, because surprises mean that they must be engaged to interpret what they mean.”

Lastly, pay attention to your physical body. “You should feel yourself again. When’s the last time you actually thought about the feelings of your body in motion?”
•Spend about five minutes every day working on the refinement of a specific, small domain of your physical body. Dr. Merzenich explains:

“That is to say, move in a very variable and controlled way – variable in speed, variable to reach a target, for example, with your big toe or your little finger or the small of your back or the motion of your jaw. Pick a specific refinement target to work on, every day. I do that in a systematic way, because I’m trying to maintain the fidelity of the neurological control movement. I know that I’m very much thinking about the feeling in my movements as I do that.”
•Find ways to engage yourself in new learning as a continuous aspect of your life, such as taking on new hobbies or learning new skills.
•Stay socially engaged.
•Practice “mindfulness,” in which you’re attentively focusing on the world around you again, as if you’re seeing it for the first time.

“Look at the wonder in the flower. Look with curiosity again at the movements of the lizard. Engage in the details of the world and in life. Associate what you hear with what you feel on your skin,” he suggests. “It’s incredibly important that you engage the brain and all of its details of how it’s drinking in information, because this again relates to the fidelity with which it will represent it for all of its operations.”

Nutrition and Brain Health

Another factor that cannot be overlooked is your diet. Foods have an immense impact on your brain, and eating whole foods as described in my nutrition plan will best support your mental and physical health. Just like exercise, avoiding sugar (particularly fructose) and grains will help normalize your insulin levels.

This is an important aspect, as sugar causes chronic inflammation that disrupts your body’s normal immune function and can wreak havoc on your brain. But sugar also suppresses BDNF, which is important for proper memory function, and appears to play a significant role in depression as well. At least we know that BDNF levels tend to be critically low in people with depression, and some animal models have suggested low BDNF levels may actually be causative.

The medical literature is also showing that coconut oil can be of particular benefit for brain health, and anecdotal evidence suggests it could be very beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Ketone bodies have been found to feed your brain and prevent brain atrophy. It may even restore and renew neuron and nerve function in your brain after damage has set in. Ketones are what your body produces when it converts fat (as opposed to glucose) into energy, and a primary source of ketone bodies are the medium chain triglycerides (MCT) found in coconut oil. Other dietary recommendations to preserve and improve your brain health include the following:
1.Optimize your vitamin D levels through safe sun exposure, a safe tanning bed and/or vitamin D3 supplements.
2.Take a high-quality animal-based omega-3 fat. I recommend consuming high quality krill oil to meet the optimal amount of omega-3 fats needed to achieve good health and fight cognitive decline.
3.Avoid processed foods and sugars, especially fructose – Excessive sugar and grain consumption are the driving factors behind insulin resistance, and the strategies that protect your brain are very similar to those for avoiding diabetes. There is simply no question that insulin resistance is one of the most pervasive influences on brain damage, as it contributes massively to inflammation, which will prematurely degenerate your brain.

Ideally, you’ll want to restrict your total fructose consumption to below 25 grams a day. This includes refraining from eating too many fruits, if you normally eat a lot of them. If you consume more than 25 grams a day of fructose you can damage your cells by creating insulin and leptin resistance and raising your uric acid levels.
4.Avoid grains – Even whole, organic grains will convert to sugar in your body and spike your insulin levels.
5.Avoid artificial sweeteners – Aspartame, for example, is an excitotoxin that can literally destroy your brain cells. There are many studies showing the dangers of aspartame. For example, one study published in 2000 found that aspartame shortens the memory response, impairs memory retention and damages hypothalamic neurons in mice.
6.Avoid soy – Unfermented soy products are another common food that should be avoided if you want to maintain healthy brain function.

One well-designed epidemiological study linked tofu consumption with exaggerated brain aging. Men who ate tofu at least twice weekly had more cognitive impairment, compared with those who rarely or never ate the soybean curd, and their cognitive test results were about equivalent to what they would have been if they were five years older than their current age. What’s more, higher midlife tofu consumption was also associated with low brain weight. Shrinkage does occur naturally with age, but for the men who had consumed more tofu showed an exaggeration of the usual patterns you typically see in aging.

Dr. Kaayla Daniel has written an excellent book, The Whole Soy Story, which covers the health dangers of soy in great depth and I highly recommend it to anyone still under the illusion that soy is a health food.

By Dr. Mercola

In a country where fluoride is added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies to supposedly aid in the prevention of cavities, Portland, Oregon stands out from the crowd.

Portland is the largest city in the United States that has yet to add fluoride to its water supply, a stance that was set to change thanks to a unanimous city council vote in September 2012.

However, Portland residents were not content to sit still while a proven neurotoxin was added to their drinking water … so, in a move that may inspire other cities around the U.S. to follow suit, they did something about it.

Resident Signatures Set to Block Portland’s Upcoming Fluoride Plan

In Portland, referendums that challenge a City Council ordinance are granted if supporters collect signatures from at least 6 percent of registered voters, which must be done in just 30 days. To put a halt to the fluoride plan, this meant collecting 19,858 valid signatures by the deadline.

Clean Water Portland, which opposes the water fluoridation plan, succeeded in collecting more than 43,000 signatures – and they did it a day ahead of schedule.

Assuming the signatures are valid, plans to fluoridate Portland’s drinking water will stop until the City Council either decides to repeal the ordinance or, more likely, add the potential ordinance to an upcoming ballot (most likely in May 2014) to let the voters decide.

Portland Voters Will Now Have a Say in What’s in Their Water …

What makes Clean Water Portland’s accomplishment of securing the water fluoridation issue a spot on the ballot card even more important is the undemocratic process the Portland City Council used to establish the fluoride plan in the first place.

It received nationwide media coverage, and for good reason. So far, citizens had already voted ‘no’ on water fluoridation for Portland on three separate occasions, clearly demonstrating the public will on this subject. Most recently, more than 275 residents testified at the public hearing, according to The New York Times,1 with more than 60 percent of them speaking out against the practice. The pro-fluoride lobby were unfairly given a full hour to present their case before the council, while those in opposition were given no time.

Meanwhile, while Portland City Council members met with fluoride lobbyists on multiple occasions in the months leading up to the plan, they posted only one meeting on public calendars, even though they’re required by law to publically post any activities related to city business.2

The meetings must have paid off for the fluoride lobbyists, because in the end, on September 12, the council stuck to their announced game plan and approved the plan to add fluoride to Portland’s water supplies by March 2014, despite the strong opposition from residents, who asked for a referendum. Their message: “Public Water, Public Vote.”

Fortunately, Clean Water Portland was successful in collecting signatures to ensure this public vote takes place, and in the meantime will force an immediate freeze on Portland’s plan to fluoridate their citizens.

Why are So Many in Portland Adamant About Keeping Fluoride Out of Their Water?

That’s a very good question, and if you’re new to the fluoride issue you may have simply heard that it’s “good for your teeth” – but not much else. But even promoters of fluoridation now admit that fluoride’s predominant action is topical, on the surface of the tooth (although even this is now being questioned), and not from inside your body – so why are so many Americans still being forced to swallow it when swallowing fluoride provides little or no benefit to your teeth?

Fluoride compounds like fluorosilicic acid are toxic industrial waste products, which can also be contaminated with lead, arsenic, radionucleotides, aluminum and other industrial contaminants. There are so many scientific studies showing the direct, toxic effects of fluoride on your body, it’s truly remarkable that it’s NOT considered a scientific consensus by now.

For example, 34 different studies3 support the contention that water fluoridation lowers IQ in children. Other studies have focused on its impact on thyroid, bones and joints, and your brain, while many refuse to consider the skyrocketing increase of cognitive decline in adults (Alzheimer’s and various dementia’s), and behavioral issues in children (ADD, ADHD, depression and learning disabilities of all kinds) and the possible link to fluoride. In reality, studies have shown that fluoride toxicity can lead to a wide variety of health problems, including:

Increased lead absorption

Disrupts synthesis of collagen

Hyperactivity and/or lethargy

Muscle disorders

Thyroid disease

Arthritis

Dementia

Bone fractures

Lowered thyroid function

Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)

Inactivates 62 enzymes and inhibits more than 100

Inhibited formation of antibodies

Genetic damage and cell death

Increased tumor and cancer rate

Disrupted immune system

Damaged sperm and increased infertility

And then there is the central issue of FREEDOM. Fluoride is not a nutrient. The fluoride put into drinking water is not a prescription drug, but an industrial waste product. However, it is put into the water as a “drug” to help oral health, and it is done without the consent of those receiving it. Even if you accepted the premise that it works systemically, there is no justification to force it on people under the guise of slightly lowering tooth decay, as everyone has the option of using it topically as a toothpaste if they so choose.

Water Fluoridation 101: Did You Know …. ?

The infographic below sums up some of the most important facts you should know about fluoride in drinking water.

Did You Know Water Fluoridation is Dangerous to the Environment?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that three companies would be working to ensure that toxic waste from a nearly 3-acre industrial complex in West Virginia would not leak out and contaminate surrounding soil and groundwater. The site, which sits about 900 feet from the Ohio River, was originally part of a Kaiser Aluminum plant, and now is loaded with cyanide and fluoride toxic waste. You see, fluoride is classified as a hazardous waste product by the EPA … so how did it come to be added to your drinking water?

Very shrewdly… Water fluoridation could easily qualify as one of the grandest public health frauds and toxic cover-ups in U.S. history. Now declassified files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission show that the toxicology department at the University of Rochester — which was under the direction of Harold Hodge — was asked to produce medical information about fluoride that could help defend the government against lawsuits were they to be charged with fluoride pollution.

It is now clear that if water fluoridation were declared harmful to human health, the U.S. nuclear bomb program, as well as many other fluoride-polluting industries such as aluminum plants and fertilizer manufacturers, would have been left open to massive litigation.

The plan?

Declare fluoride not only safe, but beneficial, and sell the troublesome waste to municipalities across the US…

You might be surprised to learn that Kaiser Aluminum, which owned the original West Virginia plant site that is now a hazardous waste site, is among the fluoride-polluting industry-heavyweights that helped fund research for the Kettering report on the health benefits of fluoride — a massive bibliography of abstracts on the soundness of communal water fluoridation, and fluoride’s (beneficial) role in public health.

But this “healthful” fluoride is a hazardous waste product that is so toxic it can’t legally be put in oceans, rivers or lakes, or added to soil – but it can be sold to be added to commercial water supplies! As the Fluoride Action Network reports:4

“Fluoride is a major industrial pollutant, one which has caused widespread damage to fluoride-exposed workers and downwind communities. During the Cold War, fluoride was responsible for more litigation against U.S. industry than all other air pollutants combined.

Although the development of modern pollution control technology has resulted in significant reductions in fluoride emissions, millions of workers around the world remain at risk for respiratory, neurological, and bone diseases from fluoride exposure, and downwind communities remain at risk in countries with weak environmental regulation.”

The Water Fluoridation Debate is Heating Up Across the Globe

The fluoride debate has recently ignited in Canada and New Zealand as well as other areas around the United States.
•New Zealand: In June last year, the Ruapehu-Taumarunui District Council confirmed their decision to stop fluoridating their water. The town has fluoridated their water supplies for the past 30 years, and their decision came after they had heard from Dr. Paul Connett (recognized worldwide as a leader in the movement to eliminate fluoride from the municipal water supplies, and I’m pleased to be working with him to achieve this goal) and consulted proponents for their views.
Around the same time, the Upper Hutt City council also resolved to lobby Wellington Regional to stop fluoridation, and the council in New Plymouth voted to end their water fluoridation program.

•Canada: City councilors in Cornwall, Canada recently heard from local citizens who want the city to quit putting fluoride in their drinking water, and pointed out that the fluoride studied by health agencies is different form what is actually used in drinking water.
The issue of what kind of fluoride is actually added to your water is a point of major importance, as many people still do not realize that when scientists study fluoride’s toxicity to humans, they study pharmaceutical grade fluoride (same stuff used in antidepressant drugs), but NOT the fluoride compounds actually used for water fluoridation, which include the far more toxic waste materials generated from the fertilizer industry. So, in essence, their already detrimental results may in fact be FAR GREATER than currently perceived.

•Phoenix, Arizona: Citizens in Phoenix, Arizona are also stepping up to the plate on this issue and were recently told a council subcommittee would finally, after 23 years, accept expert testimony on water fluoridation.
•Florida: Both the Greater Pine Island Water Association, and The Ormond Beach City Commission, will be voting on whether to continue on with water fluoridation. In the latter case, a referendum will be added for the first time since 1957 so that voters can decide whether they want fluoridated water.

Momentum is Growing: Four More Communities are Now Fluoride-Free

Since 2010, more than 70 U.S. communities have voted to end water fluoridation. Most recently added to this list are:5
1.O’Fallon, Missouri: This town of 80,000 has decided to discontinue water fluoridation after a citizen activist brought its dangers to the attention of city employees. The change is not only slated to save the city $18,000 a year, it’s also expected to “reduce the hazard for the operators in that they do not have to handle the dangerous chemical on a regular basis.”
2.Rosetown, Saskatchewan: After a fluoride feed-pump broke, this small community of 2,300 decided not to continue water fluoridation in the future.
3.Lake View, Iowa: The city council voted to discontinue fluoridation based on its high cost and lack of positive economic benefit.
4.Cassadaga, New York: Citizen opposition influenced Village Board members to vote to reject water fluoridation. In a town survey, 78 percent of water customers said they opposed the practice.

Do You Agree that Fluoride Use Should be a Choice, Not a Mandate?

The research speaks for itself that fluoride should not be ingested. At least when it comes to topical application, you have a choice. You can easily buy fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash, if you so choose. But you’re stuck with whatever your community puts in the water, and it’s very difficult to filter out of your water once it’s added. Plus, many do not have the resources or the knowledge to do so.

The only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation in the first place. Fortunately, the Fluoride Action Network6 (FAN) has a game plan to END water fluoridation in both Canada and the United States.

I urge you to join the anti-fluoride movement in Canada and United States by contacting the representative for your area below.

Contact Information for Canadian Communities:

1.If you live in Ontario, Canada, please join the ongoing effort by contacting Diane Sprules at [email protected].
2.The point-of-contact for Toronto, Canada is Aliss Terpstra. You may email her at [email protected].

Contact Information for American Communities:

We’re also going to address three U.S. communities: Portland, Wichita, and Phoenix:
1.Portland, Oregon: If you live in the Portland area, please contact FAN’s Oregon point person, Kimberly Kaminski. You can email her at [email protected]. Portland residents will be battling a very well financed campaign by the ADA, Delta Dental and the PEW Charitable Trust. Please consider making a donation to Oregon Citizens for Safe Drinking Water.
2.Witchita, Kansas: The pro-fluoride lobby has also targeted Wichita for forced fluoridation. If you live in Kansas and would like to help protect the safety of the city’s drinking water, please contact Fluoride Free Kansas at fluoridefreekansas.org/contact-us
3.Phoenix, Arizona — The city council is reassessing their fluoridation program. The issue was raised by Councilman Tom Simplot and local fluoride-free campaigners. The city currently spends more than $500,000 annually on fluoridation, and joins only nine other Arizona communities in fluoridating their water. If you live in the Phoenix area and would like to get involved, please contact FAN’s Phoenix coordinator.

Popular Antibiotic Found to Increase Risk of Death 250%
When I worked for Dr Huggins, I talked with thousands of patients, actually more than 17,500 of his clients, so many would talk about the medicine they had been taking. When anitbiotics were mentioned I would explain what they did, I would use non medical terms that most people would relate to.
Imagine your local supermarket is being robbed by a bunch of bad guys, the SWAT team are called and after some discussion go into the supermarket.
There is a great deal of gunfire heard when eventually the SWAT commander comes out with a big smile on his face.
He proudly announces to the awaiting public and media that the SWAT team have killed all the bad guys, someone comments that all the innocent customers and staff have also been killed. But the SWAT commander just smiles and reiterates that the bad guys are gone.
This is what antibacteria med’s do, they cannot descrimiminate between good and bad, they just kill all bacteria irrespective of it’s role.
Azithromycin (Zithromax) is a macrolide antibiotic used in the treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It’s known for having unpleasant side effects such as skin rashes, itching, allergic or anaphylactic reactions, and severe, watery diarrhea.
But it’s also associated with more severe side effects, such as myopathy―muscle and tendon pain, weakness and cramping―when taken in combination with statins i. And previous research has shown that use of any type of antibiotic increases the risk of breast cancer in women ii.
Most recently, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that azithromycin increases your chances of dying from a cardiovascular event by a whopping 250 percent within the first five days of usage, compared to those who took amoxicillin iii. This is nearly the same as that for Vioxx, which killed 60,000 people and was voluntarily removed from the market nearly eight years ago.
When researchers looked at people who already had heart problems, their risk of dying while on this drug were even higher. The risk of cardiovascular death was also significantly greater with azithromycin than with ciprofloxacin, while levofloxacin and azithromycin had comparable risks of cardiovascular death.
What You Must Know about Antibiotics
It’s important to recognize that antibiotics are indiscriminate bactericidal agents, meaning they kill all bacteria, both beneficial and pathologic, and many of the immediate and long-term side effects are related to this fact. By killing off the beneficial bacteria in your gut, antibiotics have a detrimental effect on your overall immune system, and if you do not “reseed” your gut with probiotics (good bacteria)—either in the form of a probiotics supplement or fermented foods—your immune function can remain compromised for some time.
Hence, antibiotics should only be taken when absolutely necessary, and care must be taken to rebalance your intestinal flora to prevent long-term effects to your health. Taking probiotics while on an antibiotic can also help reduce diarrhea, which is a common side effect.
About 80 percent of your immune system resides in your gastrointestinal tract, which houses 100 trillion bacteria—about two to three pounds worth of bacteria, plus yeasts. You should have about 85 percent “good” bacteria and 15 percent “bad.” All of these microbes compete for nutrients from the food you eat, but the strength in numbers that beneficial bacteria enjoy helps keep the bad bacteria and the ever-present yeasts in check, and causes them to produce nutrients your body needs, such as B vitamins.
However, when you introduce antibiotics, these beneficial bacteria are decimated along with the pathogenic ones, thereby upsetting the delicate balance of your intestinal terrain. As a result, yeasts can grow unchecked into large colonies and take over, causing a condition called dysbiosis. Using their tendrils (hyphae), yeast can literally poke holes through the lining of your intestinal wall, which results in a syndrome called leaky gut. At this point, you tend to become increasingly susceptible to a wide variety of health problems, such as:
Arthritis
Asthma and allergies
Skin problems
Kidney problems
Digestive issues
Autoimmune disorders
How Your Gut Influences Your Health
The reason why a dysfunctional bowel can wreak such havoc is well-explained by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, whose groundbreaking work sheds much needed light on how your gut affects your immune system, and how this dynamic interaction has profound impacts on your overall mental-, emotional-, and physical health.
She has written an excellent book called Gut and Psychology Syndrome, the acronym of which—GAPS—also stands for Gut and Physiology Syndrome, which is the name of a second book currently being written. Dr. Campbell-McBride’s GAPS theory eloquently explains how immune abnormalities caused by damaged gut flora are at the root of virtually ALL degenerative diseases, as well as many neurological disorders, including ADHD and autism.
Once your gut becomes porous, or “leaky,” it has openings that can allow undigested food particles in. When foods are absorbed in this partially broken down form they’re viewed as “foreign,” causing your immune system to react to them. Food sensitivities and allergies, digestive issues, and eventually, autoimmune disorders, can all arise as a result.
In addition, parasitic yeasts can also cause you to change what you eat by causing cravings for carbohydrates like sugar, pasta and bread, for example, as this is their preferred fuel. So, it should come as no surprise that weight gain is one of the telltale signs of antibiotic damage and subsequent yeast overgrowth.
Sadly, many doctors dismiss the connection between their patients’ intestinal disorders and the drugs they themselves prescribed. So, beware, and always make sure to repopulate your gut with a high quality probiotic every time you use an antibiotic.
Did You Know You May Be Consuming Hidden Antibiotics Daily?!
Unfortunately, the greatest danger posed by antibiotics does not actually come from prescribed courses of antibiotics, which you have some control over, but rather from the food you eat. The prevalence of antibiotics in both meats and vegetables has the potential to throw off, or contribute to this intestinal imbalance.
Animals such as cattle, chickens and hogs raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO’s) are routinely given antibiotics — both to keep them alive in stressful, unsanitary conditions, and to make them grow bigger, faster. Antibiotics can also be found in conventionally-grown vegetables, and the reason for this is because antibiotics in livestock end up being transferred, via manure, into the soils that vegetables are then grown in.
The widespread practice of using subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics to increase growth in livestock has been pin-pointed as a leading cause for the development of new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as the now-widespread form of staph (MRSA) known as ST398, or “the pig strain” of MRSA.
This livestock-acquired strain of MRSA adds to an already troubling situation… The human community-associated strain of MRSA, USA300, already affects close to 100,000 people a year in the US, and caused 18,600 deaths in 2005 alone iv. To put that number into perspective, HIV/AIDS killed 17,000 people that same year. What’s worse, research has shown that various MRSA strains can be transmitted from humans to animals and vice versa v, putting the health of both humans and animals (including pets) at ever increasing risk.
It’s important to realize that antibiotic-resistant disease like MRSA is a man-made problem, created by the excessive use of antibiotics. Medical overuse of antibiotics is one aspect, but the greatest, and most hidden, factor is the excessive use of antibiotics in food production.
According to the first-ever report by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on this subject, American factory farms used a whopping 29 million pounds of antibiotics in 2009 alone vi. Back in 2001, a report issued by the Union of Concerned Scientists estimated that the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock accounted for 70 percent of the total antibiotic use in the US, and when all agricultural uses were considered, they estimated the share could be as high as 84 percent! vii
Clearly, agricultural antibiotic use is the smoking gun in the battle against antibiotic-resistant superbugs. It’s also likely a primary cause of chronic poor gut health and reduced immune system function!
FDA Proposes Phase-Out of Antibiotics in Food Production—Sort of…
The rise of antibiotic-resistance in livestock is so alarming that government officials have finally admitted you can become infected when you eat or simply handle infected meat. They also warn that the microbes can contaminate kitchen counters, utensils and other food. Even the USDA, which usually defends agribusiness interests, proclaimed at a 2009 congressional hearing that there is indeed a link between antibiotic use in animals and drug resistance in humans viii.
But the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still refuses to tackle this issue head on.
In fact, on December 22 last year, the agency quietly posted a notice in the Federal Register that it was effectively reneging on its plan to reduce the use of antibiotics in agricultural animal feed – a plan it has been touting since 1977. Against all logic, and with virtually no public announcement, the FDA decided to continue allowing livestock producers to use the drugs in feed. According to the Federal Register, dated December 22, 2011 ix:
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is withdrawing two 1977 notices of opportunity for a hearing (NOOH), which proposed to withdraw certain approved uses of penicillin and tetracyclines intended for use in feeds for food-producing animals based in part on microbial food safety concerns.”
This despite the fact that as recently as 2010, the FDA acknowledged the problem in a draft guidance to industry x, which proposed livestock producers stop using subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics in animal feed, stating that:
“Antimicrobial drugs have been widely used in human and veterinary medicine for more than 50 years … The development of resistance to this important class of drugs, and the resulting loss of their effectiveness as antimicrobial therapies, poses a serious public health threat.
Misuse and overuse of antimicrobial drugs creates selective evolutionary pressure that enables antimicrobial resistant bacteria to increase in numbers more rapidly than antimicrobial susceptible bacteria and thus increases the opportunity for individuals to become infected by resistant bacteria.
Because antimicrobial drug use contributes to the emergence of drug resistant organisms, these important drugs must be used judiciously in both animal and human medicine to slow the development of resistance.”
Then, in April of this year, the FDA issued voluntary guidelines suggesting that livestock should only be treated with antibiotics to cure illness, not to enable growth xi. But can we really rely on the honor system with regard to how industry grows our food?
I think not. We need measures to ensure antibiotics are used responsibly— and that needs to go beyond mere suggestion.
On a slightly brighter note, in January the FDA announced it would restrict the use of one class of antibiotics, cephalosporin, in cattle, swine, chicken and turkey xii. These antibiotics, which are regularly prescribed to humans, are implicated in the development and spread of drug-resistant bacteria among humans that work with, and eat, the animals. As of April 5, cephalosporin is no longer allowed for use in preventing diseases in livestock, although they will still be allowed for illness treatment in livestock.
How to Protect Your Family from Hidden Antibiotics
Granted, conventional medicine still needs to curtail its prescriptions for antibiotics, but even if you use antibiotics judiciously you’re still exposed to significant amounts of antibiotics from the foods you eat. This is one of the primary reasons why I ONLY recommend organic, grass-fed, free-range meats and organic pasture-raised chickens, as non-medical use of antibiotics is not permitted in organic farming. These foods are also far superior to CAFO-raised meats in terms of nutritional content, which you can read more about in this previous article.
Apart from growing and raising your own foods, your best option is to get to know a local farmer—one who uses non-toxic farming methods. If you live in an urban area, there are increasing numbers of community-supported agriculture programs available that offer access to healthy, locally grown foods, even if you live in the heart of the city.
The Weston Price Foundation xiii also has chapters all over the world and many of them are connected with buying clubs in which you can easily purchase these types of foods locally. Another resource you can try is Local Harvest xiv, which you can use to find farmers’ markets, family farms, and other sources of safe, sustainably grown food in your area.

Coconuts are among the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet and have been a dietary staple for millennia. Western science is now “playing catch-up” to what natives of tropical regions have known for thousands of years. One of the reasons coconut is so special is that it’s a natural antimicrobial food.

Coconut, especially its oil, is a powerful destroyer of all kinds of microbes, from viruses to bacteria to protozoa, many of which harm human health.

Researchers at the Athlone Institute of Technology’s Bioscience Research Institute in Ireland set out to test coconut oil’s biocidal properties against the bacteria responsible for tooth decay.

Dental caries is a commonly overlooked problem affecting 60 to 90 percent of children and the majority of adults in industrialized countries, according to chief researcher Dr. Damien Brady. His research team tested the antibacterial action of coconut oil in its natural state and coconut oil that had been treated with enzymes, in a process similar to digestion.

The oils were tested against strains of Streptococcus bacteria, which are common inhabitants of your mouth.

They found that enzyme-modified coconut oil strongly inhibits the growth of most strains of Streptococcus bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, an acid-producing bacterium that is a major cause of tooth decay1. It is thought that the breaking down of the fatty coconut oil by the enzymes turns it into acids, which are toxic to certain bacteria.2 Enzyme-modified coconut oil was also harmful to the yeast Candida albicans, which can cause thrush.

Dr. Brady said:

“Incorporating enzyme-modified coconut oil into dental hygiene products would be an attractive alternative to chemical additives, particularly as it works at relatively low concentrations. Also, with increasing antibiotic resistance, it is important that we turn our attention to new ways to combat microbial infection.”

The work also contributes to our understanding of antibacterial activity in the human gut, which helps maintain the balanced flora necessary for a strong immune system.

“Our data suggests that products of human digestion show antimicrobial activity. This could have implications for how bacteria colonize the cells lining the digestive tract and for overall gut health,” explained Dr. Brady.

The Many Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil offers an impressive array of health benefits. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is beneficial for:
•Promoting heart health
•Supporting proper thyroid function
•Strengthening your immune system
•Providing an excellent “fuel” for your body and supporting a strong metabolism
•Maintaining healthy and youthful looking skin

One of the primary reasons coconut oil’s benefits are so broad is that 50 percent of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid, which is rarely found in nature. In fact, coconut oil contains the most lauric acid of any substance on Earth. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, a monoglyceride that can actually destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV and herpes, influenza, measles, gram-negative bacteria, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

Another of coconut oil’s antimicrobial components is capric acid, present in lesser amounts.

Coconut oil is also comprised of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are smaller than the long chain fatty acids that are much more common to vegetable and seed oils. MCFAs are easily digested and readily cross cell membranes, and are sent directly to your liver, where they are immediately converted into energy rather than stored as fat. Coconut oil is easy on your digestive system and does not produce an insulin spike in your bloodstream.

A Traditional Diet Might Not Guarantee You Perfect Oral Health

In the 1900s, Dr. Weston A. Price did extensive research on the link between oral health and physical diseases. He discovered that the most successful primitive groups health-wise were those who paid attention to and integrated beneficial ancient knowledge and dietary wisdom into their lives. The difference, Price reasoned, between primitive cultures who were healthy and those who were diseased came not from solely eating a traditional diet (as they all did), but in the accumulated wisdom enjoyed by certain populations, which allowed them to enjoy optimal health.

One of the keys to oral health is eating a traditional diet rich in fresh, unprocessed vegetables, nuts, and grass-fed meats that are in line with your genetic ancestry. However, as beneficial as that diet is to your dental and overall health, it might not be enough to guarantee perfect oral health.

We know, of course, that eating junk food and sugar certainly causes and worsens dental decay in humans, but there must be more to the story. There is evidence of tooth decay in ancient populations, long before there was exposure to refined sugar and white flour, as well as among wild animals today. Even some dolphins, which generally eat no carbohydrates whatsoever — only fish, squid, and crustaceans — have problems with tooth decay. Clearly, simply following a traditional diet is not enough to explain this phenomenon, or else there would be no dental decay in ancient peoples or wildlife.

Plaque-Busting Strategy No. 1: Fermented Vegetables

In the past, I was also challenged with plaque accumulation which resulted in my having to make monthly visits to the dental hygienist. It seemed no amount of brushing, flossing, and even using a dental irrigator diminished this problem. However, in November of 2011, I was introduced to the first of two natural strategies that have significantly improved my plaque problem. The trick? Simply adding healthy amounts of high quality fermented vegetables to my diet.

Fermented vegetables are loaded with friendly flora that not only improve digestion but alter the flora in your mouth as well. Since the addition of these foods into my diet, my plaque has decreased by 50 percent and is much softer. I later further refined my approach by doing oil pulling with coconut oil and learning how to specifically target the primary source of plague, which is the junction of the tooth and gum surface by carefully directing my toothbrush at the appropriate angle.

Plaque-Busting Strategy No. 2: Oil Pulling

The second technique I’ve been using for the past year is called “oil pulling” with coconut oil, which has reduced my plaque by another 50 percent, allowing me to go two months between visits to the hygienist, instead of one. Oil pulling is a practice dating back thousands of years, having originated with Ayurvedic medicine. When oil pulling is combined with the antimicrobial power of coconut oil, you have one very powerful health tool.

Sesame oil is traditionally recommended, but it has relatively high concentration of omega-6 oils. Therefore, I believe coconut oil is far superior, and, in my mind, it tastes better. But from a mechanical and biophysical perspective, it is likely that both work.

Oil pulling is simple. Basically, it involves rinsing your mouth with coconut oil, much like you would with a mouthwash. The oil is “worked” around your mouth by pushing, pulling, and drawing it through your teeth for a period of 15 minutes. If you are obsessive like me and want even better results you can go for 30-45 minutes. This process allows the oil to “pull out” bacteria, viruses, fungi and other debris. The best time is in the morning before eating breakfast, but it can be done at any time, the important point is to just do it. I seek to do it twice a day if my schedule allows. The used oil is discarded and your mouth rinsed with water. You should not swallow the oil because it’s loaded with bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous.

When done correctly, oil pulling has a significant cleansing, detoxifying and healing affect, not only for your mouth and sinuses but for the rest of your body as well.

Candida and Streptococcus are common residents in your mouth, and it’s these germs and their toxic waste products that cause plaque accumulation and tooth decay, in addition to secondary infections and chronic inflammation throughout your body. Oil pulling can help lessen the overall toxic burden on your immune system by preventing the spread of these organisms from your mouth to the rest of your body, by way of your bloodstream.

The potential benefits of oil pulling extend well beyond your mouth. Oil pullers have reported rapid relief from systemic health problems, such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. According to Bruce Fife, naturopathic physician and expert in the healing effects of coconut3, the cleansing effect of oil pulling can be understood with the following analogy:

“It acts much like the oil you put in your car engine. The oil picks up dirt and grime. When you drain the oil, it pulls out the dirt and grime with it, leaving the engine relatively clean. Consequently, the engine runs smoother and lasts longer. Likewise, when we expel harmful substances from our bodies our health is improved and we run smoother and last longer.”

Proper dental hygiene is important for optimal health in your mouth and in the rest of your body, as discussed by Dr. Bill Osmunson in the interview above. When it comes to preventing cavities, drinking fluoridated water and brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste is not the answer, because fluoride is more toxic than lead. The key is your diet and proper dental care: good old brushing and flossing. By avoiding sugars and processed foods, you prevent the proliferation of the bacteria that cause decay in the first place.

Practicing twice daily brushing and flossing, along with regular cleanings by your biological dentist and hygienist, will ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as they can be. You may want to try oil pulling to enhance your current dental hygiene routine.

In addition to consuming foods that are part of the “traditional diet” and avoiding processed foods and refined sugar, make sure you are getting plenty omega-3 fats. The latest research suggests even moderate amounts of omega-3 fats may help ward off gum disease. My favorite source of high quality omega-3 fat is krill oil.

And speaking of sugar, a particular type of honey from New Zealand called Manuka honey has also been shown to be effective in reducing plaque. Researchers found Manuka honey worked as well as chemical mouthwash — and better than the cavity fighting sugar alcohol, xylitol — in reducing levels of plaque. This is most likely due to the honey’s antibacterial properties. Clinical trials have shown that Manuka honey can effectively eradicate more than 250 clinical strains of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant varieties.

I still believe that oil pulling with coconut oil gives you more bang for your buck for your oral health, but just realize you have natural options to harsh and often toxic chemicals.
