DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS THREATENED, FREEDOM IN DANGER:
Bill S1082 pretends to address drug safety while in fact proposing a set of laws that helps hide existing risks while ushering in the next generation of extreme drug risk (the Critical Path Initiative). At the same time the bill dramatically broadens FDA regulatory power to attack dietary supplements and health freedom.

TIME FOR A CHUCKLE IT'S HEALTHY TO LAUGH
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2: The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3: The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Amerians.
4: The Italians drink a lof of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5: The Germans drinka lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

DO YOU HAVE CANCER? KNOW SOMEONE WITH CANCER?
If you missed the Friday Nov 3rd HealthFreedom Friday broadcast, click here: NOW! http://jerelzoo33.inetcam.com/cgi/nph-clip.exe?-page+-file+/clips/clip_178.ivc
This is possibly one of the most important broadcasts we have ever done since it documents the huge percentage of hospital affilliated oncologists who do NOT use themselves (or allow loved ones to use) the therapies they regularly prescribe for their patients!!!
A shocker!
If you know anyone with cancer who is under orthodox oncological care, you must e-mail this link to them at once! Please. It could be a life-saver. They deserve to know the truth - their oncologists lie, lie, lie.
For the whole story, click here:
http://www.healthsavers.info/HFFriday/Oncologist%20credo.html:
Our caution: before agreeing to any treatment advised by your oncoogist, ask him whether he would prescribe the same treatment for himself or any member of his family. Be guided accordingly.

Action alert: Last chance to stop HR 4167, the food anti-safety law
Urgent: Stop the National Uniformity for Food Act (H.R. 4167) before it wipes out hundreds of food safety labeling laws
Keep up the pressure on your lawmakers to stop passage of H.R. 4167, a bill heavily supported by junk food manufacturers that would -- believe it or not -- make it ILLEGAL for States to protect their citizens from food products containing heavy metals, cancer causing chemicals, aspartame and other dangerous ingredients.

THE END OF RITALIN?? LET'S HOPE SO.
READ THE WARNING ABOUT ADHD DRUGS FDA researchers so alarmed about the potential for heart attacks, suicide, depression and worse in the millions of children taking these drugs, the committee voted 8-7 to recommend requiring black box warnings on methylphenidates, which are sold as Ritalin, Concerta, Methylin and Metadate. All we can say is "It's about time!" http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/nationworld/politics/wire/sns-ap-attention-deficit,0,6652960,print.story
NOW FIND OUT ABOUT THE SIMPLE SOLUTION! What do you know? Magnesium is not just for adults. Children are also magnesium-deficient because of their love for magnesium-deficient junk foods - hot dogs, pizza and soda - and the stress in their young lives.
On page 51 of Dr. Carolyn Dean's blockbuster book "The Miracle of Magnesium", Dr Leo Galland reports "hyperactive kids need extra magnesium due to their continuously high adrenaline levels." He recommends 6 mg. per pound of weight daily (240 mg. for a 40 pound child) and further warns: "because magnesium is so hard to find in a form suitable for young children, use magnesium citrate..." and he recommends a liquid carrier to make it more bioavailable.
The answer: as we've known all along - Miraculous Magnesium. You'll find it here: http://www.healthsavers.info/heart-New.htm#MIRACULOUS

Who Really is Writing All Those Scientific Studies? Not the researchers or scientists or study participants as might be expected. Would you believe they're written mostly by highly-paid cmpany shills?
It's an open secret in medicine that many of the articles that appear in medical journals, often purporting to be written by well-known academics, are actually written by unacknowledged ghostwriters in the pay of drug companies.
These "seemingly objective articles" are usually actually part of a marketing campaign to promote a product or draw attention to the condition it treats.
So, if your physician reads his journals in the hopes .of improving his doctoring skills and knowledge, too bad - for you and for him. Ask him to read this: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05347/621668.stm

DRUGS, DEVICES AND DOCTORS...
A NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST GOT IT RIGHT! The real story behind the crisis at Merck, the Cleveland Clinic, and the medical industrial complex as a whole "is bigger than either the company or the clinic. It's the story of how growing conflicts of interest may be distorting both medical research and health care in general."
"The economic logic of the medical-industrial complex is straightforward. Prescription drugs and high-technology medical devices account for a growing share of medical spending. Both are products that are expensive to develop but relatively cheap to make. So the profit from each additional unit sold is large, giving their makers a strong incentive to do whatever it takes to persuade doctors and hospitals to choose their products."

Yesterday's quackery - today's cutting edge medical technique
IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN - NATURAL CURES THAT ARE CONDEMNED AS 'QUACKERY' ARE EVENTUALLY FOUND TO BE REAL AND TRUE.
Here's another one:
The leech is making a comeback.
Medicine has come a long way in a very short space of time. It seems only yesterday that our forefathers were putting leeches on patients. Perish the thought! Today, after billions of dollars of research, we have sophisticated drugs and therapies to treat the patient. Oh yes, and leeches, too.
Yup, leeches are making a big comeback, and doctors reckon they are the best way of getting rid of a massive hematoma, or major blood clot. Thirteen of the little blood-suckers went to work on one patient with a hematoma in his right forearm, and they removed 145 ml of blood in no time at all. The patient made an instant recovery.
This is great news for everyone except the drugs companies, whose billions of dollars of research have resulted in trillions of dollars of profit. They need to patent the leech immediately. How about Leecho as a possible name? Just trying to help out.

HAVE A CUP ON ME! - REAL JAVA. After being warned for years...yes, years - that drinking coffee was bad, bad, bad - guess what? Newly released research confirms the healthiest - and perhaps happiest way to start - or end - every day is....(drum roll please)... enjoy a real cup of coffee.
Here's why:
According to a 2005 study by researchers at the University of Scranton, Americans now get more healthy, cancer-fighting antioxidants from coffee than from any other dietary source. Overwhelmingly so, in fact. This includes the litany of largely needless (and sometimes downright harmful) vegetables, grains and fruits the mainstream pundits seem always to recommend INSTEAD of a cup or three of delicious Java.
The research, presented at a recent national meeting of the American Chemical Society (the world's largest scientific society, according to Medical News Today), compared the relative antioxidant content of 100 different food items and beverages in the American diet - including mainstream darlings corn, grapes, and beans. Interestingly enough, dates topped the list from an antioxidants-per-serving standpoint. But since dates are not widely considered a staple of American eating habits, the top honors went to the much more commonly consumed coffee (more than half of Americans drink it). It wasn't clear from the research summary whether red wine or dark beer was considered in the study. These are the only two popular items one might think of that might give java a run for its money antioxidant-wise.

A CONGRESSMAN HEALTH FREEDOM ACTIVISTS CAN BE PROUD OF - AND SUPPORT!
Congressman Ron Paul (Rep. Texas) put the medical establishment on notice on Nov. 10, 2005 when he introduced his "Health Freedom Protection Act" (HR4282). In his introductory remarks, Paul stated, "The American people have made it clear they do not want the federal government to interfere with their access to dietary supplements, yet the FDA and the FTC continue to engage in heavy-handed attempts to restrict such access." That was Paul just getting started. You have to read the read of his remarks... http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2005/cr111005.htm

STOP THE FDA - NOW!
As you probably suspect, the FDA is NOT protecting the public interest. Their 'pretend' oversight does nothing to properly inform consurs of nutritional products as to the validity or reliability of the item's label - and they exert huge pressure (it's OK to call it by its right name "censorship") to prevent accurate and hohnest health claims from reaching the market.
Now at last we all have a great opportunity to re-establish legitimacy.
Here's the 'go-to' website where you can make your views known. Help the freedom-protecting legislative initiatives get passed. PLEASE!

Doctors and Guns Doctors: A The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. B. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000. C. Accidental deaths per physician is just over 17% - Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services.
Now Guns: A. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, 80 Million.) B. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. C. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .00188% - Statistics courtesy of F.B.I.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR!
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of my personal concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

HOW SAFE ARE VITAMINS? SO GLAD YOU ASKED.... Should anyone tell you vitamins are dangerous, please ask: "Where are the bodies?"
The 2003 Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers Toxic Exposures Surveillance System states that there have been only two deaths allegedly caused by vitamins. Almost half of all Americans take nutritional supplements every day, some 145,000,000 individual doses daily, for a total of over 53 billion doses annually. And from that, two alleged deaths? That is a product safety record without equal.
Conversely, pharmaceutical drugs, properly prescribed and taken as directed, kill 106,000 Americans each year. That is over 2,000 each week, dead from their prescriptions. Some physicians estimate the true number of drug-induced deaths to be far higher.
Fatalities are by no means limited to drug products. In the USA in the year 2003, there was a death from "Cream / lotion / makeup," a death from "Granular laundry detergent," one death from plain soap, one death from baking soda, and one death from table salt. Other deaths reported by the American Association of Poison Control Centers included: aspirin: 59 deaths aerosol air fresheners: 2 deaths perfume/cologne/aftershave: 2 deaths charcoal: 3 deaths dishwashing detergent: 3 deaths (and interestingly, weapons of mass destruction: 0 deaths)
On the other hand, nutritional supplements have proven to be exceptionally safe. Specifically: * There were no deaths from B-complex vitamin supplements. * There were no deaths from niacin. * There were no deaths from vitamin A. * There were no deaths from vitamin D. * There were no deaths from vitamin E.
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS: VITAMINS SAVE LIVES! The Journal of the American Medical Association has published the recommendation that every person take a multivitamin daily saying that "(S)uboptimal intake of some vitamins, above levels causing classic vitamin deficiency, is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population, especially the elderly." It is a sensible idea whose time should have come generations ago.
It is curious that, while theorizing many "potential" dangers of vitamins, critics fail to point out how economical supplements are. For low-income households, taking a two-cent vitamin C tablet and a five-cent multivitamin, readily obtainable from any discount store, is vastly cheaper than getting those vitamins by eating right. The uncomfortable truth is that it is often less expensive to supplement than to buy nutritious food, especially out-of-season fresh produce.
According to David DeRose, M.D., M.P.H., "300,000 Americans die annually from poor nutrition choices." Supplements make any dietary lifestyle, whether good or bad, significantly better. Supplements are an easy, practical entry-level better-nutrition solution for the public, who are more likely to take convenient vitamin tablets than to willingly eat organ meats, wheat germ, and ample vegetables. Scare-stories notwithstanding, taking supplements is not the problem; it is a solution. Malnutrition is the problem.
Public supplementation should be encouraged, not discouraged. Supplements are a cost-effective means of preventing and ameliorating illness. Vitamin safety has been, and remains, extraordinarily high.

Whoops! Beta Blockers - 'a very honest mistake'
An entirely unwarranted assumption made by the medical profession more than 10 years ago that beta blockers would be effective in treating high blood pressure - even though they had never been tested against other drugs - may have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, new research revealed this week. (The Independent, 31st, October 2005).
In a review of trials involving 105,000 people, it was found that beta blockers were only half as effective as other drugs in treating hypertension.
The study found that beta blockers reduced the risk of strokes by 19 per cent, whilst other treatments such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers reduced the risk by 38 per cent.
The study also found that the overall death rate among those on beta blockers was 3 per cent higher.
The study leader, Professor Lars Lindholm of the University of Umea in Sweden described the error as 'a very honest mistake'. . . which must be scant consolation for the families of anyone who died as a result of being prescribed beta blockers.

Does the U.S. REALLY have the best medical care in the world???? As we're always being told.... Well, here's where we rate Number One worldwide:
A new study shows that U.S. leads way in medical errors, and costs! Patients in the United States reported higher rates of medical errors and more disorganized doctor visits and out-of-pocket costs than people in Canada, Britain and three other developed countries, according to a survey just released. Thirty-four percent of U.S. patients received wrong medication, improper treatment or incorrect or delayed test results during the last two years, the Commonwealth Fund found.
Thirty percent of Canadian patients reported similar medical errors, followed by 27 percent of those in Australia, 25 percent in New Zealand, 23 percent in Germany and 22 percent in Britain, the health care foundation said. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N02241096.htm

The truth about medical journals, and how drug companies exert heavy influence over published scientific articles
Surprise! Surprise! Medical journals rely on Big Pharma's ads to pay the bills
Can the medical journals be trusted to provide accurate, unbiased information about medicine even as they are almost entirely funded by drug companies? In her book, Vaccination, Peggy O'Mara writes that the current era of medical beliefs (or dogma) began to develop soon after Louis Pasteur's demonstration that some pathogens could be converted into vaccines.
The medical community then decided to try the same method for all afflictions. Medical journals were soon afterward reporting the discovery of "miracle" vaccines for every disease under the sun, and drug companies were simultaneously advertising those vaccines on those very same pages. read more here: http://www.newstarget.com/012119.html

CRITICS TAKE OUTRAGEOUS POSITION AGAINST ANTI-AGING MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DEMANDING CRIMINAL SANCTIONS AGAINST PHYSICIANS PRACTICING GROWTH HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Urgent Information re: JAMA Oct 26, 2005 article: 'Provision or Distribution of Growth Hormone for "Anti-Aging": Clinical and Legal Issues'.
This week, JAMA published an article on the legality of growth hormone treatment by physicians for growth hormone deficient patients. This paper is replete with inaccurate and biased statements and basic scientific errors in an apparent attempt to damage the Anti-Aging medical profession and the physicians practicing good evidenced based healthcare. The authors picked biased studies to bolster their disinformation campaign, and even went so far as to intermingle internet sales of homeopathic pseudo GH sprays, amino acids, and sports nutritionals, in order to inflate their misleading claims for an illegal diversion of GH by physicians and pharmacies, implying a black market in GH for hormone replacement treatments by anti-aging physicians where none exists.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT AVIAN FLU - OR ANY OTHER FLU AS WELL! HERE'S THE GREAT NEWS YOU'LL NOT GET ELSEWHERE...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, October 26, 2005
VITAMIN C BEATS BIRD FLU AND OTHER VIRUSES, TOO
(OMNS) High dose vitamin C is a remarkably safe and effective treatment for viral infections. In high doses, vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, helps kill viruses, and strengthens the bodyò?Ts immune system. Taking supplemental vitamin C routinely helps prevent viral infections.
The Avian Flu (or Bird Flu), so often mentioned by newspapers, magazines and other news sources, is a particularly severe form of influenza. It should probably be called Poultry Flu, since almost all of the 150 or so human infections have come from domestic poultry. Interestingly, the symptoms of avian flu include hemorrhages under the skin, and bleeding from the nose and gums. These are also classical symptoms of clinical scurvy, which means a critical vitamin C deficiency is present.
This means that vitamin C (ascorbate) is needed to treat it. Severe cases may require 200,000 to 300,000 milligrams of vitamin C or more, given intravenously (IV) by a physician. This very high dosing may be needed since the Avian Flu appears to consume vitamin C very rapidly, similar to an acute viral hemorrhagic fever, somewhat like an Ebola infection.
What should you do if you think you have a viral infection - any viral infection - coming on and
IV vitamin C is not readily available? Nobel laureate Linus Pauling said that as soon as you feel the symptoms of sniffles, a cold or the flu, take oral doses of thousands of milligrams of vitamin C.
For best results, take vitamin C in evenly divided doses during the waking hours. Continue taking vitamin C on this schedule until, Pauling says, you have loose stool (just short of diarrhea). After having loosened stool, reduce the vitamin C dosage reduce by about 25 percent. If you have another loose stool, reduce the vitamin C again, but if the symptoms of the viral infection begin to return, increase the dosage. You will quickly learn how much vitamin C to take; even children can learn to do this. Continue until you are completely well. Vitamin C greatly shortens the severity and duration of viral illnesses.
Vitamin C expert Robert Cathcart, M.D., specifies very high therapeutic doses of vitamin C. For a severe cold: 60,000 to 100,000 milligrams/day. For most influenza (flu), 100,000 to 150,000 mg/day. For Avian (Bird) Flu, 150,000 to 300,000 mg/day.
Remember: Vitamin C replaces antiviral drugs at saturation (bowel tolerance or loose stool) levels. The reason very high doses of a vitamin can cure an illnesses is because a disease-induced deficiency of that vitamin can be a cause of the illness.
As for the safety of this approach: There is not even one death per year from vitamins. Pharmaceutical drugs, properly prescribed and taken as directed, kill over 100,000 Americans annually. Hospital errors kill still more. Unlike drugs, with vitamins, the range of safe dosages is extraordinarily large.
What is Orthomolecular Medicine?
Linus Pauling defined orthomolecular medicine as the treatment of disease by the provision of the optimum molecular environment, especially the
optimum concentrations of substances normally present in the human body. Orthomolecular medicine uses safe, effective nutritional therapy to fight illness. For more information: http://www.orthomolecular.org

Bird flu virus 'low risk' to humans By Stephen Castle in Brussels and David Eimer in Beijing Published: 20 October 2005
European health experts have advised consumers to cook poultry and eggs "thoroughly" to minimise the risk of contracting the bird flu that has killed 60 people in the Far East, while also stating that the H5N1 virus, which has been detected in Turkey and Romania, presents a "very low risk to human health".
Scientists at the Stockholm-based European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control added that, for those not involved in farming, the threat becomes "almost non-existent".
The advice came as a new outbreak of the potentially deadly strain of the virus was detected at Tula, 155 miles south of Moscow, and a second outbreak was confirmed in Romania.
Officials in Brussels were still awaiting the result of tests on birds in Greece and Macedonia, while an outbreak of bird flu in the northern Chinese province of Inner Mongolia left at least 2,600 birds dead.
The European experts stressed that the H5N1 virus is extremely difficult for people to contract, although they are worried that it will mutate into a form transmissible among humans.
Their advice stated that it is "highly unlikely" that H5N1 can be passed on to humans by raw meat or eggs: "If you cook your food properly this will eliminate the risk entirely."
The centre, which started in May, also laid out new guidance to protect those who live or work with poultry. It said visitors to regions where H5N1 has been detected should avoid poultry farms and bird markets.
News of the outbreak in China, the fourth this year, emerged in a report from the Xinhua news agency. But with officials from the World Health Organisation claiming that the HN51 virus is endemic in poultry in China, the lack of information in the report has raised fears that authorities may be concealing the true extent of the spread of bird flu in China.

DON'T FALL FOR THE "DISEASE MONGERING SCARE TACTICS DESIGNED TO INCREASE PHARMACEUTICAL PROFITS.
When will the "public-general" stop flocking behind the Pied Piper called "the sickness industry" - the pharmaceutical cartel. We have been "mega had" for several decades, and the following is just one little example of the PR-information corruption that runs the medical paradigm at the present time.
The present "avian flu" information fiasco - which is in reality a crafty major transfer of tax-money into the coffers of the pharmaceutical industry - is just the most recent "disease manufacture" for the generation of gigantic profits at public expense. Statistically the newest "avian flu pandemic scare" can still be counted in three figures, globally, . If it jumps species, it will have done so in a "bio-warfare laboratory", and its appearance, when and if it appears, will be the agent of 'economic/political sabotage" and/or "the depopulation agenda". Meanwhile the "lucrative "sickness industry" will have raked in billions - paid for by tax-dollars - in preparedness for a virus that "may - but has not yet" mutated. You can bet your bottom dollar that it already lies mutated in the bosom of the "bio-warfare" research laboratories of the military.
Sorry, but the official fear-mongering story is totally "for the birds" - and it will surface if, when and where the strategists decide.
What you will never hear is the fact that brilliant scientist-physicians have given humanity several CURES for treating any viral infection - and that these CURES have been outlawed by the "power-elite" through the corruption of law and the law-making process.
