Things They Don

Now this should be an interesting study!

A massive, National Institutes of Health “sponsored study looking at whether vitamin-D and/or omega-3 fatty-acid supplementation can reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, or cancer will get under way in January 2010, according to a website for the study. Drs JoAnn Manson and Julie Buring (Harvard Medical School/ Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA) will head up the Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial (VITAL).

The study is aiming to enroll 20  000 men and women, one-quarter of whom will be black.

According to a Brigham and Women’s Hospital press release, the study is intentionally aiming to illuminate a potential racial and ethnic disparity hypothesized to be linked to vitamin D [1]. “African Americans have a higher risk of vitamin-D deficiency as well as a greater frequency of diabetes, hypertension, and certain types of cancer.”     For VITAL, women need to be over age 65 to enter the study; men need to be over age 60.

Study participants will be randomized to one of four groups: daily vitamin D (2000 IU) and fish oil (1 g); daily vitamin D and fish-oil placebo; daily vitamin-D placebo and fish oil; or daily vitamin-D placebo and fish-oil placebo. The trial will run for five years and is expected to cost US $20 million.

In a related article,   investigators are reporting that more than one third of mothers and more than half of their infants are vitamin D-deficient at the time of birth.

What’s more, the data, released at Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting 2009, demonstrate that prenatal vitamin D supplements do not fully protect against deficiency.

Anne Merewood, MPH, Director of the Breastfeeding Center at Boston Medical Center, and associates examined vitamin D levels in 433 women and 376 newborns using blood samples obtained within 72 hours of birth. They also collected data from questionnaires completed by the mothers and from the mothers’ medical records.

The results showed that vitamin D deficiency (defined as 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL) was present in 36% of mothers and severe deficiency (defined as 25(OH)D <15 ng/mL) was present in 23%.

Fifty-eight percent of infants were vitamin D deficient and 38% were severely deficient.

Risk factors for vitamin D deficiency in infants included winter birth versus summer birth, African American race, and severe maternal obesity.

For years, the staggering benefits of probiotics have been ignored by “official medicine.”   Patients in hospitals for extended periods of time were found to develop bed sores rapidly, and generally spiral downhill the longer they stayed in the hospital   — except for people in the country whose families brought them raw sauerkraut and/or raw yogurt.   These people seemed to fair better than others.

We now know there are good bugs and bad bugs.   The bad bugs can be beaten down and out-competed by the good bugs.   Additionally, good bugs produce a wealth of by-products, e.g., vitamins and enzymes.

Now, as Dannon and every other mega food corporation jumps on the band wagon, so too does the medical establishment.

The publishing of a new study states that a variety of ailments in children can be averted, and kids are actually healthier if they eat these bugs.

The subjects (kids)  took probiotics (or placebo) twice a day over a 6-month period during the 2005-2006 winter season. The children were randomized into 3 groups, with 1 treatment group receiving Lactobacillus acidophilus (single-agent) in a powder and the second treatment group receiving a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis (combination), also as a powder. The control group received a powder placebo that was indistinguishable from the treatment granules.

All participants took their powders twice a day with milk. Weekday administrations were conducted by preschool personnel, and families administered the compounds on weekends.

Episodes of illness were recorded by either the preschool staff (weekdays) or parents (weekends) in symptom diaries.   The authors also evaluated absenteeism from school via school record review.

Three hundred twenty-six children were randomized, with 104-112 subjects per group having complete data at the end of the study.

When looking at school attendance, 28% of all children were absent at least 1 day during the study period, but this rate was much higher among placebo children (49%) compared to either treatment group (18% each).

The single-agent group had lower rates of fever, cough, and use of antibiotics compared to placebo, while the combination treatment group had lower rates of fever, cough, rhinorrhea, and antibiotic use compared to placebo. For almost all symptoms, the combination group had rates lower than those of the single-agent group (eg, 6-month incidence rate of “fever” was 64% in placebo, 28% in single-agent treated, and 16% in combination agent treated subjects).

The authors conclude that use of probiotics reduced the incidence and duration of upper respiratory symptoms and antibiotic use. The authors also suggest that there appeared to be a trend toward a greater effect among participants in the combined treatment group compared to the single-agent treatment group.

Viewpoint

These data are interesting for the magnitude of potential benefit they show. Reducing preschool absentee rates by > 50% is remarkable.   But, really now, couldn’t they have just asked Great-Grandma?   She already knew the secret!

Unbelievably, the FDA has done something useful?!?!     I know, its astounding, but they are publishing the drugs that represent serious risks to patients. So, here is the new list. If you’re taking any of these drugs, beware.

Legend

Low sugar = Normal diet; honey and stevia primary sweetners

Normal fat = cheese occasionally, olive oil & unprocessed coconut oil

High sugar = Lots of honey, not so restrictive on labels and white sugar

High fat = cheese on a daily basis, brie, gouda, lots of oils, cheese snacks, butter

Extreme fat = Cheese at every meal, macadamia nut oil, coconut oil at most meals.

In this experiment, I sought to prove that either sugar or fat affects cholesterol.   I strictly altered my diet based on processed sugar or fats.   I tracked every gram of sugar I ate!   The results are clear that sugar affects cholesterol, NOT fats.   From this, we can extrapolate that any HFC (high fructose corn syrup) or processed sugar that we eat, will cause an insulin spike, which will in turn damage you.

Conclusion: Unless it is a genetic propensity (rare), cholesterol can be controlled by excluding high processed foods (sugar); and drug therapy is not needed. I may die early from one of my experiments, but it will not be from high cholesterol.

For me, this validates the Tokelau Island Study which came to the same conclusion: eat what God made; processed foods are un-natural and lead to disease. Accelerated aging occurs from processed sugar as it causes hyper insulin spikes. Insulin is good in small amounts, but becomes damaging and toxic in larger, continuous amounts (typical high sugar Western diet). Which in turn grants Americans the worst heart disease in the world.

Summary of Tokelau Study: 1971-1982, researchers collected data from Tokelau natives, and from Tokelauan migrants to New Zealand. They monitored cholesterol levels, blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) readings.

Tokelauan diet is based on coconut, fish, starchy tubers and fruit. By 1982, large amounts of processed flour and sugar was now in their diets. Tokelauan migrants to New Zealand had a much more Western diet; more carbohydrates, coming from wheat, sugar and potatoes; more processed sweet foods and drinks; more red meat; more vegetables; more dairy and eggs. Sugar intake was 8 percent on Tokelau, but increased to 13 percent in New Zealand. Saturated fat intake was cut in half in New Zealand. Tokelauans traditionally obtained 40-50% of their calories from saturated fat.

So we would expect heart disease and cholesterol to be dramatically lower for immigrants to New Zealand because they dramatically cut their saturated fat, right?

After moving to New Zealand and eating the Western diet of high sugar and processed foods, what was the results?

Blood pressure: Males were 3x as likely to be hypertensive; Women 2x.

Cholesterol: LDL was elevated; triglycerides were elevated.

Unrelated to this story is Dr. Ravnskov [L1] . He has pointed out that the correlation between saturated fat intake and blood cholesterol is very weak, as is the correlation between blood cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

Another interesting study is the Kitavans of Papua New Guinea. Kitavans eat a diet composed of yams, sweet potato, taro and cassava, fruit, vegetables, coconut and fish. Grains, refined sugar, vegetable oils and processed foods are nonexistent on Kitava.

Kitavans have an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of approximately 1:2. Average calorie intake is 2,200 calories per day. Their diet is high in carbohydrate, high in saturated fat, low in total fat, low in protein, high in calories.

Here is the Kitava Study. I added the highlight to the last line:

Lindeberg S, Lundh B.

Primary Health Care Centre, Sjöbo, Sweden.

On the island of Kitava, Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea, a subsistence lifestyle, uninfluenced by western dietary habits, is still maintained. Tubers, fruit, fish and coconut are dietary staples. Of the total population, 1816 subjects were estimated to be older than 3 years and 125 to be 60-96 years old. The frequencies of spontaneous sudden death, exertion-related chest pain, hemiparesis, aphasia and sudden imbalance were assessed by semi-structured interviews in 213 adults aged 20-96. Resting electrocardiograms (ECG’s) were recorded in 119 males and 52 females. No case corresponding to stroke, sudden death or angina pectoris was described by the interviewed subjects. Minnesota Code (MC) items 1-5 occurred in 14 ECG’s with no significant relation to age, gender or smoking. ST items (MC 4.2 and 4.3) were found in two females and Q items (MC 1.1.2, 1.3.2 and 1.3.3) in three males. Stroke and ischaemic heart disease appear to be absent in this population.

Lee Turner Experiment #19: Why do women live longer than men?

Unfortunately, there is no way to document this experiment until after I am dead. There is a theory, with comfortable corroborating data, that the premise of estrogen as the reason for female longevity is flawed. Point of fact, aside from a few benefits, estrogen is quite destructive; ask any estrogen dependent cancer victim.

The theory goes that the routine blood loss associated with menses is actually the cause of the 10 year longevity advantage. This has to do with blood viscosity.

Imagine a water hose running distilled water; this water hose will last longer because there are no micro-rocks eating away at the lining. Add some sand to the water, and the hose won’t last long “ eaten away from the inside out. If you add enough sand, the water viscosity increases (becomes thick) to the point that the water pressure just won’t push it.

Atherosclerosis doesn’t happen all over your body; just primarily at vessels junctures, branches. Edies, turbulent blood is created here. The vessels become wounded and patches are applied. This in turn damages red blood cells (RBCs).

Around 120 days they are worn out and need replacing by the spleen and liver. But until this happens, the stiff inflexible RBCs are forced through the smaller capillaries causing more damage (more pressure).

Menstruating women are producing millions of new healthy RBCs each month and getting rid of the worn out damage producing ones.

Blood viscosity may be the answer; or one of many combined with estrogen and iron accumulation (this causes ventricular hypertrophy in men).

Fat cells produce estrogen, store toxic materials. So routine blood donation lowers blood viscosity, lowers iron accumulation, and weight loss lowers toxins and estrogen. Now I have to figure a way to study this in myself!?!

Lemmings are small rodents, usually near the Arctic.   There is a common misconception that lemmings perform mass suicides, following each other over a cliff.   This is true and its false.   They are driven by powerful biological urges to migrate when their population gets too big.   The Norway lemming in Scandinavia will migrate until they reach a cliff overlooking the ocean.   They will stop, but the urge to migrate is too powerful and they jump off, attempt to swim in the ocean, get exhausted, and drown.   As the lead lemmings jump off, the rear lemmings blindly follow to their deaths.

Oddly enough, people have developed this dependency mindset as well.   We depend on the government to take care of all our needs.   However, it soon becomes apparent that the government is just as incompetent as everyone else; since the government is made up of flawed people.

We depend on the pharmaceutical companies to produce miraculous medicines to fix our every ill.   However, we soon discover that Baycol, Bextra, Fen-Phen, Vioxx, Permax, Posicor, Propulsid, Raplon, Raxar, Redux, Rezulin, Seldane, and Zelnorm (just to name a few) are not the miracle drugs we were told; and in fact are quite harmful (they have all since been recalled).

It is important not to be a healthcare lemming; don’t follow the crowd.   The crowd can get you damaged, even killed.

As you may know, I am not a big fan of most vaccines; there are a few that are worthy and must be taken, but most are not.   The flu vaccine is one of those which I have NOT taken in years.   But am I foolish to risk 4-7 days of misery?   Or smart to avoid the documented cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, as well as the corresponding decrease in longevity of those who routinely take the flu vaccine?   Remember the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccination program?   Horrible!

Lets look at some data.   During the last 20 years, flu vaccinations among seniors has jumped from 15% to 65%.   BUT, there has not been a corresponding decrease in hospital admissions or mortality.   Hmmm..   that seems odd.

A Canadian study used 704 people.   Half got the flu shot; half did not.   85% of these people were over 64 years old.   29% of the group came down with pneumonia, and 12% died.   Only 8% of the vaccinated group died… Oh my God, the flu vaccine saved 50% of them from death!!!   Several other studies have said the same thing.   I have to rush out and get my shot!

But, wait, lets take a closer look.   The researchers in this study adjusted for factors like age, gender, co-existing illness, and also one more thing — the “healthy-user effect.”   This has not been considered in other studies.

Dr. Sumit Majumdar, the lead researcher, describes the healthy-user effect as an already healthy patient that practices a healthy lifestyle — exercises regularly, not overweight, doesn’t smoke, drinks in moderation, takes supplements.

When you take the healthy-user effect into consideration, the flu vaccine didn’t have any effect on mortality.   If someone is already living a healthy lifestyle, they have a better chance of surviving the flu than someone who is obese, smokes, and is already damaged.

So despite data that shows no benefit to the flu vaccine, like lemmings, many of us will risk it anyway.   Oh, by the way, they’re still using mercury preservatives in the multi-dose vials of seasonal flu vaccine and H1N1 vaccine.

Getting lots of sleep, and adopting a healthy lifestyle will serve you far better in the long run.   Vitamin D3, K2, Vitamin C, 1,3 beta glucan, elderberry extract, and XPC is part of my daily diet.   Unless I do something stupid (no more winter time blood donations for me!), I’ll take my chances.

Note from Dr. David Williams:   Diamond V Mills’ XPC, also known as the poor man’s EpiCor.  The product is a cultured yeast product for animals, but now comes in supplement form for humans (EpiCor).    Workers in the yeast factory where XPC is made  were noticeably healthier and took fewer sick days. The only difference between the EpiCor and XPC is that EpiCor is made in a food-grade facility, while the Diamond V products are made in a feed-grade plant. I’m sure that matters to the FDA, but it doesn’t matter to me. Nevertheless, both products are safe, non-toxic, pesticide-free, and non-mutagenic. The biggest difference I see between the two products, however, is the price. A 30-day supply of EpiCor (consisting of thirty 500 mg capsules) sells for anywhere from about $20 to $50. A 50-pound bag of Diamond V XPC sells at feed stores for anywhere from $1.50 to $1.75 a pound. Take 2 to 3 grams (equivalent to about ¾ tsp.) of XPC a day to help keep your immune system in tip-top shape.

I usually write my own stuff, but here is a note from Dr. Robert Jay Rowen.

As it turns out, H1N1 is not much different than regular flu.   And as many college students are finding out, its not as bad; often done and finished in 3 days.   But the government is using this fake “pandemic” for control issues.

It is interesting how the government, in a very short time, has now infiltrated every aspect of our lives; industry, banking, healthcare.   We are no longer responsible for our own affairs.   We are dependent upon the government to supply every need, direct our daily actions, and chart the course for our futures.   Our public servants have instead made us their servants, so that they may justify and strengthen their own existence.   Do you feel like a Coppertop yet?   I do.

The health care madness worsens

If you have read my e-alerts the past several weeks, you’re probably shocked at the plans our government has for our health care. As shocking as these plans are, what you’re about to read could be the most shocking news yet. There’s no conjecture in the following facts. The websites belong to the stated individual governments.

The state of Massachusetts is in the process of passing a law that will mandate vaccines for the swine flu. This law, which you can read here: http://www.mass.gov/legis/bills/senate/186/st02/st02028.htm, requires total compliance with a state health “authority.”

According to this bill, they get to decide the emergency, not you. Next, it allows those “authorities” to impose vaccinations. If you refuse, they can haul you away into quarantine. If you refuse that, you’ll be fined up to $1,000 per day, and possibly be incarcerated in prison for 30 days. In such emergency, a “local public health authority” may demand entry into your home or business. At his discretion, he can “decontaminate” your premises, even destroy it (which is violation of the 4th amendment). He also can restrict people from assembling (which is a violation of the 1st amendment).

If you refuse to cooperate, you can be arrested without warrant, upon the belief of said officer that you violated his authority.

The attorney general of the state can impose price controls on medical care, (which is a violation of the 13th amendment prohibiting involuntary servitude).

Folks, this is real! And Massachusetts isn’t the only state considering this type of law.

The state of Iowa has an internal document that was recently leaked on the Internet that follows Massachusetts example. It provides for a state round up of Iowa citizens who might be exposed to the swine flu virus. According to the Facility Quarantine Order, “The state has determined that quarantine in your home and other less restrictive alternatives are not acceptable.” Then it lists mandatory provisions of compliance with relocation to a quarantine facility. The state has officially confirmed that the document is authentic: http://www.idph.state.ia.us/common/press_releases/
2009/20090831_clarification.asp.

Some argue that these are just on the state level. But there’s more. As if a central government takeover of medicine is not enough, there’s a new bill in the House to worry about. If the House passes HR645, it will direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish national emergency centers, otherwise known as FEMA camp facilities. These will be on military bases. Here’s the story: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645.

Can you imagine what conditions will be like in a government-run detention center if an epidemic breaks out? I can. The images of the centers for Hurricane Katrina are fresh in my memory. We are now faced with a “determination” of your violation of rules that will be made by some “authority” in order to round you up. I simply don’t like the sound of that.

There is growing unrest in this country over many things. There’s the bad economy. People are showing up with vociferous opposition to a federal takeover of “health care” (i.e., disease management). The government is trying to scare us with the swine flu. And now there are reports of forced quarantines, mandatory vaccines, and outrageous fines.

There’s an old saying. You can’t cook a frog by throwing him into a pot of boiling water. He’ll jump out. But place him into tepid water and gradually turn up the heat and he won’t jump out. Folks, with the bill in Massachusetts, the documents leaked from Iowa, proposals to build internment camps, and the talk of forced vaccinations, my conclusion as a reasonable man is that we are very near the boiling point now.

Please remember. We are the creators of government in the U.S. Asleep inside the heating pot, we have allowed our creation to turn into our pressure cooker. I do not have the power to stop our servants from turning up the heat. You do. Please call and write your representatives immediately (you can find the information at www.house.gov and www.senate.gov) and tell them to stop this madness immediately ” before it’s too late.

Yours for better health and medical freedom,

Robert Jay Rowen, MD

OK, now I’m really getting pissed off!   First, the beef industry ruins T-bone steaks by turning our cattle into cannibals (feeding them ground up cow products), and creating mad cow disease, and now chickens contain arsenic!!?!   Its too much.   I strongly urge everyone to eat organic or at least Tyson’s Natural chicken.   Who knows whats in the other brands???

The attached article is amazing that we allow an incompetent organization such as the FDA to manage our healthcare issues— and we really want them to totally control healthcare??   I think not!

In a small Arkansas town surrounded by farmland, a group of residents have filed a lawsuit against Alpharma Inc. — the manufacturer of the feed additive 3-Nitro — and several poultry companies that use the product, including Tyson Foods Inc. Roxarsone is an active ingredient in 3-Nitro, according to Alpharma’s Web site.

John Baker, an Arkansas attorney, said he is representing 100 clients from the community of Prairie Grove who are sick or have had family members die from alleged exposure to roxarsone.

The first of several lawsuits was filed Dec. 16, a case that includes cancer survivors and the parents of four children who died from leukemia and brain cancer.

According to Baker, several residents in the town of 2,500 have been diagnosed with rare cancers that usually occur at a rate of one in a million.

“We’ve tested homes of clients and found this stuff there. This arsenic is airborne and is inhaled,” he said.

If you value the safety of your DNA and that of your family, eat organic— the FDA, once again, is not here to help you.

—————————————————

ScienceDaily; 2007   ” Pets may not be the only organisms endangered by some food additives. An arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed may pose health risks to humans who eat meat from chickens that are raised on the feed, according to an article in the April 9 issue of Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly news magazine of the American Chemical Society.

Roxarsone, the most common arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, is used to promote growth, kill parasites and improve pigmentation of chicken meat. In its original form, roxarsone is relatively benign. But under certain anaerobic conditions, within live chickens and on farm land, the compound is converted into more toxic forms of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancer, while low-level exposures can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes, the article notes.

Use of roxarsone has become a topic of increasing controversy. A growing number of food suppliers have stopped using the compound, including the nation’s largest poultry producer, Tyson Foods, according to the article. Still, about 70 percent of the 9 billion broiler chickens produced annually in the U.S. are fed a diet containing roxarsone, the article points out.

Complicating the issue is the fact that no one knows the exact amount of arsenic found in chicken meat or ingested by consumers who frequently eat chicken. Neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the Department of Agriculture has actually measured the level of arsenic in the poultry meat that most people consume,  according to the article.

OK, the evidence is starting to pile up against sugar.   Statins may not be the beloved wonder drug afteall.   And cholesterol may not be the evil spawn of Satan.

I know two people (nameless for privacy) who had cholesterols ranging from 230-270.   Of course, this meant that their life span was going to shorten dramatically if they did not take statins IMMEDIATELY.

Lets call the  2 people Ralph and Sally.   Ralph did as instructed, but really didn’t change his activity or diet.   Within a month’s time, Ralph became lethargic, energy levels were low, and mysterious aches and pains occurred.   Within 3 months Ralph had a full blown case of rhabdomyolysis– a muscle wasting disease.   Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown of muscle; the by-products of this breakdown affect the kidneys and major organ systems.   Very quickly, you can be on death’s doorstep.

Fortunately, Ralph stopped the statins and began taking CoQ10 (ubiquinol).   Statins lower CoQ10 by inhibiting synthesis.   Low levels of CoQ10 cause muscle pain, congestive heart failure, and liver toxicity.   Within a few months, he was no longer bed-ridden and able to get back to life.

Sally took a different route.   Sally noticed that her cholesterol increased as she increased her sugar intake.   In study after study after study, it has been proven conclusively that healthy non-western people who eat nearly zero sugar become radically unhealthy when they assimilate the western high sugar diet.   Nearly every food product you buy has corn syrup in it.   Sugar is the real villain behind high cholesterol and heart disease.

Yet big pharma and physicians are not pointing the finger of guilt at sugar; instead they focus on fat (there’s more money to be made on statins).   But, it’s not the fat you eat.   It’s the fat you convert.   Sally was able to bring down her high triglycerides and cholestorol by diet, decreasing processed sugar, and not by ditching fats.

Any sugar that is not used for energy is converted to fat.   High fructose corn syrup (sugar on steroids) causes insulin spikes which damages everything in your body, including power losses within an hour of eating large amounts of sugar (the insulin spike clears all the sugar from your bloodstream but overshoots the mark).

This brings us to Mary Shelley.     In 1816 at the age of 19, Mary conceived the idea for her most famous book, Frankenstein.   Now the problem with good old Victor Frankenstein is that he experimented on other people, as well as other dead people, without their permission.   Victor needed more friends that he could experiment on!   I don’t think there would have been half as many torches and pitchforks storming his castle, if he had just asked a few of his friends to  volunteer body parts.

As it turns out, I have a friend who is willing to become part of our experiment.   We have the experiment on my Mother-in-Law which will conclude in a few months.   And now I have a friend who is willing to give up all processed sugar and white food items for a month, to see if it brings her cholesterol down.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Did your Momma ever make you take a tablespoon of cod liver oil when you were a kid?   OMG, that stuff is nasty.   The first few weeks, Momma had to hold me down, pry open my mouth and pour it in.   A lot of gagging and screaming occurred.   After a while, you adapt, get used to it, and develop a taste for it.   Sort of like Stockholm syndrome.

My Mother always told me fish was brain food; the more fish I could eat, the smarter I would be.   I don’t know about the smart part, but it is certainly turning out to be the healthy thing to do!   I love fish.   When I’m on the road, that’s all I eat — morning, lunch, and supper.   Primarily salmon.

Of course, mercury is always a concern, so I also take fish oil capsules (molecularly distilled).   And I also take 5 grams of modified citrus pectin (MCP)  early in the morning to remove the mercury from my innards.

Reuters published a story about MCP’s  ( June 3, 2008) ability to work as well as chemo (without the toxicity) in advanced disease states.   MCP slows the progression, metastasis, and angiogenesis of several cancers.   A landmark study published in Clinical Medicine: Oncology, showed significant improvement of life for patients with breast, prostate, colorectal, kidney, lung, uterine, liver, pharynx, pancreatic, stomach, and melanoma cancers.

But, that’s not why I take MCP.   It also removes heavy metals.   A study published in 2006, had 8 healthy people taking 15 grams of MCP daily for 5 days.   The investigators found that significant amounts of arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead were removed from the body (urine samples).   The study used Pectasol MCP (which is what I use).

But back to the fish story.   A new study (reviewing 3 decades of data) published in Heartwire concludes that there is extensive evidence that omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil EPA & DHA) are beneficial for everyone — not just heart patients.

Dr. Carl J Lavie of Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA, published their report in the Journal of American College of Cardiology August 3, 2009.

“We reviewed everything that was published on omega-3 that was clinically important, and the major finding is that there are a tremendous amount of data to support the benefits of omega-3, not just as a nutritional supplement–people have known that for years–but evidence that it prevents and treats many aspects of cardiovascular disease,” Lavie told heartwire .   The largest study of 40,000 participants was the most compelling.

Lavie elaborated to heartwire : “The benefit is different in different studies but can be as much as 30%.” The effects are seen on total mortality, sudden death, CHD mortality, and cardiovascular mortality.

They are recommending to physicians that all patients should get at least 500 mg per day of EPA/DHA (equal to two fatty-fish meals per week).   If you have heart disease, up that to 1,000 mg per day.

I have taken 6000 mg of fish oil (2100 EPA, 1500 DHA) every day for the last 9 years.

I’m a country kid from the 50’s. We didn’t get alot of the health mandates from the government as the big city kids got.   One thing I really hated was going to the doctor.   There was this bleachy/Pine-Sol smell that will haunt me forever.   I KNEW that when I went to the doctor, I was going to get a shot.   Since we went to the doctor about once a year, it was a dreaded event.

I remember when I was 6 years old and had to get a shot before I could go to school, my family told me that I would get a pill and a lolly pop—no shot.   That was great!

So I waltzed into Dr. Smith’s office and said “I’m here for my pill and lolly pop.”   Happy as a pig in wet mud, that was me!   Dr. Smith told me to lean over his table so he could look at my back.   Suddenly, the nurse grabbed my arms, and my pants came down, and I saw the needle flying through the air towards my exposed butt.

They lied!!

Now bear in mind that I was a wild child. My Mother worked all the time, non-stop.   Which left me home alone wandering through swamps, climbing trees, wrestling wet dogs in mud, so I was pretty strong and pretty quick.   Seeing that needle heading my way like a missile also gave me a significant adrenaline boost.   I did a spin, a kick, and I rolled off the table and out the door I went.   With my pants around my knees (the normal way most teens dress these days), I ran down the street screaming “Liar!” at the doctor who was hot on my trail, needle in hand.

I never got that shot, by the way.   Don’t even know what it was for.

These days, kids don’t have the advantages I had.   A huge amount of vaccines are dumped on them just months down the chute.

Below is an article that was emailed to me by Vaiva (Thanks!) about one family’s experience with the immunization protocols.

How horrible for the parents in this news piece. This is a terrible way to prove a point about vaccines. But millions of other families will reap the benefits by saving their kids. The immunization program needs a serious, profound, detailed analysis and revision.

When I was a child, I had 3 vaccines — TOTAL. But, today, young immature immune systems in children that are barely out of the womb, are being assaulted and overwhelmed by more vaccines than they can handle—20+ are recommended by the time the child is 12 months old!!

The result are children that have extreme reactions (or dead) like this child or, on the other end of the scale, slight personality changes that result in subtly damaged children “ irreversible and permanent.

A simple, yet effective analogy: You probably can’t lift 60 pounds with one hand today. But if you start lifting 5 pounds every day, and increase it 5 pounds a week, in 11 weeks, you will be able to lift 60 pounds with one hand. Multi-vaccine injections is like dropping a 60 pound weight on a tiny child without the strength or development to withstand that assault, and expecting them to lift it. How can that possibly make any sense at all?

I don’t have a problem with the absolutely essential vaccines (polio, smallpox, measles), but they should be staggered; not given in a single day. Give the child time to adapt.

I’m glad this video is out there. In case it suddenly disappears  from the web, I have made a copy for anyone to download. https://rcpt.yousendit.com/723420205/103e5dbcd8750546eecdcc8e4553281f

Here is the article by Dr. Andrew Moulden; it is very long, very detailed, but if you have 10 minutes, it’s worth the read.

Here is the original news article about the vaccine injured child.

MMR vaccine

BOCA RATON, FL — Boca Raton father, Ben Zeller, says his son, Ben, Jr., was a normal 11-month-old when he received the Measles, Mump and Rubella shot in November of 2004.

Within days, he had a complete febral seizure.

“This was a reaction to the MMR shot, there is no doubt in my mind,” Zeller said.

Zeller was one of the first to prove his case in the Federal Vaccine Court.   Last July, the court ruled his son would not have experienced the seizure if it weren’t for the MMR vaccine.

“We have thousands of cases and we can show all vaccines are causing the exact same problem,” said Dr. Andrew Moulden, a Canadian physician gathering evidence to support a class action lawsuit.

Moulden is spending the next week in South Florida interviewing families like the Zeller’s.

“To stop this from going on, we have to go to the courts,” Moulden said.   “They won’t stop doing this until we hold them fiscally responsible.”

Moulden has gathered more than five thousand images of children’s faces taken before and after the MMR vaccine to help prove his case.

The photos highlight children’s eyes turning in and out as well as the corner of their mouth dropping.   “These are classic signs of a stroke and clearly a direct result of vaccines,” Moulden said.

Still, many doctors and Health Departments say shots are not only safe but needed.

“It prevents death and disability from 14 childhood diseases so it is very important to give vaccines to keep kids healthy,” said Deborah Hogan with the Florida Department of Health.

Moulden disagrees and says the proof is in the pictures.

“It’s time for them to listen,” he said.

Dr. Moulden is asking all families who believe their child may have had an adverse reaction to the vaccine to send him pictures before and after.
