Stop Cancer Book

I found this book while relaxing after a hard day of work at my office by surfing on the information superhighway.  Scanned it and think it is worth keeping.  Read it and see what you think.  It is about cancer, prevention of cancer and cancer industry politics.  I wish making money off of sick people weren’t so profitable.  Preventing cancer has to be a self-help job, no self-serving cancer treating professional will want to prevent the happening of such a cash cow for them.  May be I am too idealistic, I still think that doctoring and healing is a vocation not a business.  But if you know how to keep yourself healthy, you don’t have to rely on people who wants to make money off of your suffering.

The End of Statin Drugs?

A paper co-authored by Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and director of UC San Diego’s Statin Study group cites nearly 900 studies on the adverse effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), a class of drugs widely used to treat high cholesterol.

The result is a review paper, currently published in the on-line edition of American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, that provides the most complete picture to date of reported side effects of statins, showing the state of evidence for each. The paper also helps explain why certain individuals have an increased risk for such adverse effects.

“Muscle problems are the best known of statin drugs’ adverse side effects,” said Golomb. “But cognitive problems and peripheral neuropathy, or pain or numbness in the extremities like fingers and toes, are also widely reported.” A spectrum of other problems, ranging from blood glucose elevations to tendon problems, can also occur as side effects from statins.

I also found this multi parts Talk on cholesterol and statin drugs by Paul Rosch, MD, about the Dangers of Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs and the myths of Cholesterol.  He focuses on the subtle yet serious and unappreciated dangers of cholesterol-lowering measures using statin drugs based on current guidelines due to confusion about the mechanisms that mediate their cardioprotective effects. You can find the links to the other parts after you watch the first part.

Post Vaccine Detox Protocol

If the Small Pox and bird flu scare continue to grow, it may come to a point where our caring Federal government will force us all to take this bird flu or small pox vaccines  even though their effectiveness is in doubt.  It you are forced to accept these vaccines, this information may come in handy.

Nature’s Sunshine has a Vaccine Detox, a homeopathic remedy, when taken every so many hours after a vaccine can minimize the toxic effects.  You can order this product at this website: http://www.greatestherbsonearth.com/nsp/vaccination_detox.htm  This remedy is also good for kids (Find dosages is on the website.)  It is effective especially if you or child get any reactions from the vaccine such as headaches, fevers, chills, etc.

All the components in a vaccine is foreign to the body.  Consider all these poisons that is being injected into your bloodstream, have some or all of these herbs or nutrients in the following list available to help get these toxins out and safeguard your immune system:

1- Raw Garlic
2. Oregano Oil
3. Grapefruit Seed Extract
4. Graviola
5. Horse Chestnut Herb (flushes and cleans out the blood stream)
6. Raw onions 3 times a day (same blood cleaning effect)
7. Go on a raw fruit/veggie fast to eliminate toxins from the body and speed up the detox of vaccine poisons. Get the body’s pH balance to a more alkaline state with raw fruits and veggies. Don’t eat anything cooked, no meat or dairy at the time of injection for a few days. Disease and viruses can’t survive in an alkaline environment. Cooked foods, meat and dairy, as well as emotional stress and anger cause the body to quickly become acidic.
8. Drinking clean water at those times of stress will counter the acidic effect.
9.  Raw honey has anti-viral properties.
10. Taking metal detox items such as Algin (kelp seaweed) and Activated Charcoal will sponge up much of the mercury from the Vaccine’s Thimerosol preservative. Raw Apples and raw nuts also help in metal detox -as well as Cilantro and Chlorella. The latter two must be taken with Algin for best success of mercury removal.
11. Large quantities of natural source Vitamin C with the Bioflavonoids included . Some natural supplements that also have high amounts of anti-oxidants are Pycnolgel (spelling?) Grapeseed Extract, or citrus.

Very informative movie On Vaccines 6000 Hour of research behind it by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. Video link: Vaccines:  the risk, the benefits and the choices

Toxic Chemicals in our Blood

We all know pollution and toxins are bad for us. But the Environmental Working Group has conducted perhaps the deepest analysis of this issue on the most vulnerable demographic on the planet.  They looked at hundreds of chemicals in ten Americans and found that most of them harbored many chemicals in their bodies. These chemicals are linked to increase incidence of autism, cancer, early sexual development in children and other chronic diseases. The unborn are the most affected.  We need to look at how these man-made chemicals affect our health and how they affect the growth and development of the next generations.

In my practice, I recommend patients to do a detox program every 6-12 months to help reduce these chemical burden in our body. Today is the first day of Chinese New Year, (Kung Hay Fat Choi) it is spring in the Chinese calendar, according to Chinses tradition, it is the season of the Wood element, the energy of which affects the liver and gallbladder meridians, it is a good time to do a detox.  People also tend to have more gallbladder problems during the Spring. If you do have some gallbladder issues, may be a liver and gallbladder cleanse will help resolve them.

For more information and ideas on what you can do to protect yourselves from increased exposure to man-made chemicals, watch this video:  Ten Americans Talk by Ken Cook

Cholersterol drug linked to cancer

The FDA have launched an investigation into why the results of clinical trial linking the cholesterol drug Vytorin to increased risk of death from cancer were kept secret.

On Aug. 21 of last year, the FDA announced that it was launching an investigation into the possibility that Vytorin might increase a patient’s risk of contracting and dying from cancer. This came after the FDA was provided with the results of a study that found that patients taking Vytorin had a 40 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those on a placebo. The study results were only shown to the FDA and had not been made public.Vytorin, the controversial cholesterol drug sold by Merck and Schering-Plough, failed to meet the main goal in another important study. What’s worse, the study also found that patients taking Vytorin in the study were more likely to develop cancer.

Vytorin, which was developed and marketed jointly by Merck and Schering-Plough, was approved for use by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004. Since it came on the market, Vytorin sales have reached $5 billion per year. Vytorin is a combination of cholesterol-lowering Zetia (ezetimibe) and the statin Zocor (simvastin). Statins like Zocor reduce the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver, while Zetia lessens the amount of cholesterol in food that is absorbed in the intestines.

The connection to cancer is only the latest serious health concern to arise for Vytorin. In December 2007, the FDA warned that a combination of Zetia and any statin, including simvastatin, places patients at increased risk of serious liver damage. Only two months later, the results of a large clinical trial of Vytorin were released, concluding that the drug provided no health benefit over simvastatin alone and might even worsen the buildup of arterial plaque. Read the report

Cholesterol is an important chemical in our body responsible for many health benefits. We are misled to believe that it is the bad guy and allow big pharma to make ungoodly profits by swallowing the cytotoxic poisons they sold us by the billions.  Understanding cholesterol

AARP Rips off Seniors

I have to shake my head reading this article on how an organization supposedly set up as an advocacy group for older citizens.  Seniors may think they save money when they buy AARP insurance, but if they take the trouble to compare competing products, they may be paying twice as much.

AARP brought in nearly half a billion dollars in 2007 from fees insurers pay for AARP endorsement. It also gained about $40 million from holding the clients’ premiums for a month and investing them.

The revenue helps pay down the $200 million bond debt that funded the organization’s brass and marble headquarters in Washington, D.C.—which is closed to visitors, purportedly so staff can work.

Royalties and fees now constitute about 43% of AARP’s revenue, up from 11% in 1999.

AARP lobbied against Bush’s proposed overhaul of Social Security, and for the Medicare prescription drug benefit. When Part D medicare drug “benefit” passed, AARP was able to expand its contract with UnitedHealth Group, which underwrites its Medicare supplemental insurance plan.

“I was kind of shocked,” said one member, who found out he was paying $1,079 more for his AARP auto insurance than he would have paid for a Mutual of Omaha policy. “They’re making money on the backs of old people”

Killer Psychotropic Drugs

Psychotropic drugs. It’s the story of big money–drugs that fuel a $330 billion psychiatric industry, without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater–these drugs now kill an estimated 42,000 people every year. And the death count keeps rising. Containing more than 175 interviews with lawyers, mental health experts, the families of victims and the survivors themselves, this riveting documentary rips the mask off psychotropic drugging and exposes a brutal but well-entrenched money-making machine.  There are multiple parts (10) of this documentary, you can find the links to the rest of the story on youtube’s website when you access part 1. Here are the first three parts.

Ron Paul on Healthcare Reform

May be I am a dreamer, but Dr. Paul makes so much sense to me that I am wondering why there are not more people supporting him.  How far do we have to fall before we wake up?  We are embracing the same big government that our founding fathers fought so hard to break off from. Where are the individualism, independance and self-sufficiency?

We Still Need to Listen to Dr. Paul

I am a supporter of Ron Paul.  I still believe that we need to listen to his voice more than ever at this time at the eve of an other regime change of the Federal government. It is business as usual. There will be no meaningful change with this new administration.  I call every Monday to listen to Dr. Paul’s message. The toll free number to Dr. Paul’s weekly message is:  888-322-1414. You can also read all his past messages in his website: http://www.house.gov/paul/index.shtml

Here is his lastest message: Strengthening or Weakening the Economy?

The economic situation continues to deteriorate this week as past and future bailouts were discussed on Capitol Hill.  The debate was over the accountability of already disbursed TARP money, and on whether or not to release remaining funds.   Banks that had already been bailed out before are looking for more money to fill the black holes that are their balance sheets, warning that they are simply too big to fail.  However, whatever ‘devastating’ consequences these banks are dreaming up and pushing on Capitol Hill regarding their own collapse will be nothing compared to the collapse of our currency if we keep debasing it through these foolish bailouts.  It should be that they are too big to bailout.  The world will not come to an end without this or that bank.  The most troubling thing to me is this rhetoric that only government can save the economy, and must act.  This is so counter-productive.” Click the above link to the full article.
