His perceptive understanding of health and healing therapies will help you sift through the maze of disinformation amidst a sea of chaos and confusion so you will understand the root cause of all disease – Cellular Malfunction.

Mainstream Medicine’s fundamental misconception that thousands of different diseases exist, all with varied causes demanding different treatments, has led scientists down the flawed path of categorizing symptoms as disease when symptoms are the intelligent warning signals of disease. In this provocative interview, Tunsky will share with readers the inner workings of the body’s cells and outline his 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that are needed to restore whole body health and overcome virtually every disease “label” known to man.

Greg:  Gary, it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview you on this extremely important subject.  Can you give our readers a short presentation on what goes on at the cellular level and how all disease originates there before we get into your 9 Pillars of Cellular Health?
     
Sure. To fully understand what leads to the degenerative and metabolic disease process so prevalent today you need to understand the inner workings of the cell. All life begins at the cell, is maintained by the cell, and ceases by the cell.  Your cells are pretty much the bricks and mortar — I call them the nuts and bolts — from which all living tissues and organs are made.  Each cell performs different responsibilities, depending on what type of cell it is.

In a complex world of over 100 trillion cells, the body is made of at least 200 different cell types.  There are brain cells, skin cells, kidney cells, muscle cells, bone cells, nerve cells, and so forth.  All of the body’s cells perform unique functions and synergistically orchestrate the body’s function capacity as a whole.  You cannot separate these cells any more than you can separate organs or systems without suffering consequences.  The problem with medical science is they’ve compartmentalized the body into a bunch of truck parts which has led to the training of specialty fields teaching that the cells, organs, and systems all work separately. You cannot segregate or isolate any of the cells, organs, systems, or even nutrients for that matter. They all work in synergy like a synchronized orchestra.

Greg:  What constitutes a healthy cell?

There are eleven different categories that are necessary for new cell growth and proper functioning of the body’s systems as a whole. They are:

1. 24 amino acids.
2. Carbohydrates or glycogen.
3. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s).
4. 16 vitamins.
5. 72 plus minerals.
6. Enzymes (catalysts which make everything else work).
7. Phytonutrients (pro-oxidants instead of antioxidants coming from green plants which have the chlorophyll).
8. Sunshine or photon light (electromagnetic pulse waves which come from the sun).
9. Glyconutrients (essential glycosugars and glycolipids needed for cellular communication).
10. Oxygen.
11. Water (restructured alkaline water as opposed to dead acidic water).

Greg:  Can you explain how these eleven different categories are synonymous with the 26 letters of the alphabet and how it ties into good health?
              
Just as a dictionary is built on 26 letters, which are rearranged in sentences, the human cells need over 100-plus nutrients in eleven different categories to run cellular processes. Let’s say you have 30 nutrients out of 45 needed at a beta cell site to produce insulin. The cell will sit there and wait for the next meal to complete the extra 15 nutrients needed to synthesize the insulin.  If there’s a deficiency, it will wait to complete the nutrient recipe or synthesize inferior insulin.  Another cell might be a brain cell needing 40 nutrients to produce serotonin. If it’s not at the cell site or if the cell membrane is solidified, caked up with toxins, or hardened with hydrogenated fats, obviously that would be a factor in the cell not being able to receive the intelligent nutrients or electrical impulse needed to produce serotonin.
             
If it’s a liver cell that produces bile, it’s the same thing.  If the liver cell doesn’t have the recipe of the nutrients out of the 100-plus, the cell will sit there and wait for the next meal.  Hopefully you’ll be smart enough to complete the cellular recipe for the building material in order to make the bile.
              
So every hormone, neurotransmitter, peptide, and substance such as ATP for energy, is actually built on a recipe or a synergy of different nutrients from those eleven categories I just listed.
              
Greg:  Tell us how the body’s cells perform different functions within the body?

Well, every cell, whether it’s a nerve cell or a muscle cell or a brain cell, is analogous to us as a whole in a microcosm. For instance, we have to breathe oxygen — cells have to breathe oxygen.  We communicate — cells communicate in four different languages.  They communicate in electromagnetic language, neurotransmitter language, hormonal language, and electrochemical language, which would be a combination of brain and the muscle.

We have internal organs — our cells have internal organs called organelles or genetic material.  We have skin — our cells have skin called semi-permeable membrane to protect the inside of the cell from damage due to free radicals.

We conceive children — cells actually conceive by splitting and dividing into new cell generations called daughter cells.  We produce waste — cells produce and release waste which has to be eliminated from the body via the skin, colon and urine. We need photon light from the sun — every cell of the body needs photon light from the sun for cellular communication which creates the electromagnetic energy to light up the cell like a light bulb. We harness the micro-electric current energy coming from the sun through photosynthesis — cells harness micro-electric voltage inside the cell, in the mitochondria which produces the ATP; the energy factories for every cell. Cells are also manufacturing plants that synthesize hormones, neurotransmitters, proteins, peptides and intelligent life force to run all the body’s functions.

So if you look at the correlation between a human and a cell, we have 100 trillion tiny cellular engines that are analogous of a human that performs different functions.  Cells are multifaceted.  Some act as miniature electrical generators, like lithium batteries. New Age calls it aura but every human being produces energy that can be measured by Kirlian photography.  All of your cells store, repair, communicate, and transport.  Every second of every day your cells are involved with waste disposal, food production, temperature control, and pH balancing to maintain health and vitality all dependant on the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.
                                             
Greg:  Gary, you’ve been able to break almost every disease known to man down into a short yet thorough presentation. Can you explain that to our readers?

Okay.  By knowing that the creation of the human body is built on plant-derived substances, not synthetic pharmaceutical compounds, the body is created to recognize self from non-self. Anything synthetic is rejected as a foreign substance.  The disease process is triggered by the accumulated toxins that we eat, breathe, drink, think, and bathe in on a regular basis. If we take in more contaminants, carcinogens and acids than what the body’s filtration, elimination and immune system can handle on a daily basis, it supersedes a threshold that eventually overwhelms the body and pollutes the blood.  Our blood is a river of life.  When it becomes overwhelmed with toxins it becomes a river of disease and death instead.
              
Here’s an analogy of the toxic assault most of us are faced with on a daily basis. Most Americans wake up Monday morning to a jolt of caffeine from a cup of coffee and a sugar-laden donut or pastry.  Then their hit with more toxins from breakfast, lunch, and dinner that will introduce more sugar, white flower, preservatives, additives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, cancer-causing dyes, artificial flavors, rancid fats, hydrogenated fats, and a litany of other toxic additives that eventually get into the blood through digestion.

Then you step outside and breathe contaminated air, especially if you’re in a major city like New York, Los Angeles or Houston. It’s possible you could be breathing 100,000 different environmental and industrial contaminants with every breath.  You have fluorocarbons, petrofluorocarbons, PCB’s, dioxin, industrial contaminants, fossil fuels, paint fumes, Chemtrails, pesticides, herbicides, and other genocides.

Combine this with the chemical by-products from industry depending on your profession. For example; if you’re a painter or if you’re a mechanic that’s dealing with turpentine solvents that leach through the skin and into the bloodstream.
                             
Then you have beverage contaminants with your Cokes, Dr. Peppers, carbonated sodas, BHA, BHT, sodium benzoate, Yellow No. 5 dyes, caramel coloring, MSG, aspartame, Splenda, phosphoric acid, and thousands of other chemicals that also get into the blood through digestion.
              
Then you have your skin, which is literally a sponge with what you’re bathing and showering in and most people, out of ignorance, don’t have a shower filter to filter this garbage out of their municipal water.  When you bathe you’re taking in chlorine dioxide, fluoride, bromide, arsenic and all the other chemical by-products they use to treat the water.  An average person with a 10-15-minute shower is going to drink six glasses of tap water by the absorption of the skin pores.
              
A trip to the bathroom will assault your body with thousands of other chemical toxins that are in your cosmetics and toiletries like toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, deodorant, shampoo, hair spray, shaving cream, lipstick, perfume, and cologne. In many cases manufacturers are not even required by law to list what chemicals are in these products.

So the big picture is by the time you breathe, eat, drink and bathe, not counting your social habits, second-hand smoke, emotional toxins, or the contaminants in your homes, businesses, or airplanes by breathing in recycled air from the air ducts that haven’t been cleaned in five years, you are past a threshold that your body can handle to stay well.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you breathe, eat, drink and bathe in more contaminants than your body can eliminate on a daily basis, eventually your payday will come as a degenerative or metabolic disease.

If you’re taking in an accumulated combined total of 150,000 contaminants on Monday and the liver, kidneys, colon, lymphatic system, the skin through sweat, and respiratory CO2 output are only capable of dumping 100,000 contaminants, you’re in trouble.  By Tuesday you haven’t changed your lifestyle; you have the same job, the same stress, the same eating habits, same social habits, and same job.  Day after day you maintain that toxic load at 150,000 or more, and the body is only dumping 100,000 or less.
            
As time goes on, the immune system weakens, the liver, kidneys and the lymphatic system get congested, and they slow down as far as their filtering capability.  Usually a lethargic condition or sluggishness sets in at this time telling you that contamination is occurring at the blood level.  Most people, being tired like that, are even more sedentary and ingest toxic stimulants to get them through the day.  Then at their jobs, they’re sitting around watching computers. At home they’re watching television and they’re not moving the blood and they’re not moving the lymph fluids.  So as time goes on, now the elimination systems, the filtration systems, and the immune system are only capable of removing 90,000 contaminants, then 80,000, then 70,000.  As time goes on, the toxic load is maintained but the elimination capability is weakened.

What happens with these extra carcinogens, acids, and toxins is they end up collecting in the blood.  Once the blood becomes contaminated, the body goes under what’s called adaption response where it will shove these toxins and poisons into a weak link in the chain of organs; what I call the path of least resistance.  This is your genetic predisposition given to you by your parents.  Wherever your weakness is, or the path of least resistance, is where the blood is going to choose to store or deposit the toxins in order to keep the blood clean and you alive.

If the dump zone is the joints and the blood is shoving these acids and contaminants into the synovial fluid producing cells for storage, what happens next is billions of cells that produce synovial fluid or bursa fluid become congested, contaminated, and suffocated.  Eventually it causes a cascading effect of cellular respiration problems and the water, oxygen, and intelligent nutrients can’t get in through the phospholipid membrane.

When billions of cells in the joints can’t produce the joint protecting fluid, you get a dryness and then an immune response of T-cells, macrophages, and NK cells to clean up the toxic mess like a Pac Man.  When the white blood cells fight anything, they release histamines, cytokines, or prostaglandins which are inflammatory chemicals.  This inflammatory response is going to be called arthritis or bursitis by medical science.  I want the readers to know that arthritis is not even a disease.  “Arth” means joint; “itis” means inflammation.  So inflammation of the joint is a description of the cellular malfunction of the synovial fluid or the bursa fluid producing cells.
          
If the dump zone is the pancreas because that’s your weak link in the chain of organs where the beta cells are that produce insulin and they get congested, suffocated, and contaminated, eventually the cell receptors get clogged and they cannot produce the insulin or receive glucose. When sugar is ingested, sugar regulation is affected and you’re going to go into a hypoglycemic condition eventually leading to the label “diabetes mellitus.”  Again, this is cellular malfunction just like bursa joint cell contamination would be cellular malfunction.  Two different locations, one disease: Cellular Malfunction.

If the dump zone is the heart where the cardiac cells are located that regulate electrical conduction for heart contraction, eventually you’re going to have arrhythmias or palpitations telling you what’s happening at the cellular level; that the toxic residues are impacted in the arteries, coronaries, or the cardiac tissue.  Eventually the symptoms are going to scream louder in an angina pain to tell you that cellular malfunction is more severe.  When the cells malfunction in the heart, you’re going to have a label called cardiovascular disease, eventually a myocardial infarction, or a heart attack, if it’s not dealt with by non-toxic, non-invasive treatments.
         
If the deposition is the frontal lobe of the brain, usually it’s heavy metals: aluminum, cadmium, lead, mercury from your teeth, vaccines, etc. Heavy metals will leak in through the blood brain barrier via the dopaminergic system then the lipid fatty tissue of the brain will attract these heavy metals.  If it’s the frontal lobe of the brain where cells regulate cognitive thinking, you’re going to get short-term memory problems and then eventually long-term memory loss called Alzheimer’s disease.  Again, these are labels of the same disease: Cellular Malfunction.

If the substantia nigra dopamine producing cells or the corpus striatum in the brain just below the pituitary is the collection or deposition zone for heavy metals and neurotoxins, you’re going to have problems with dopamine production; and you’re going to display symptoms of festination, or shuffling gait, called Parkinson’s disease.  There’s no such thing as Parkinson’s disease.  Parkinson is the name of a doctor. Parkinson’s disease is the descriptive label of cellular malfunction of dopamine producing cells in the brain.
 
I can show this physiological pathway with every “dis-ease” label known to man. The readers need to know that there is only one disease, cellular malfunction with two causes to the 10,001 “labels” on the one disease.  The question to your readers is what would be the treatment protocols if you knew that the physiological pathway to the one disease is toxicities and insufficiencies.
 
Greg:  The medical answer to the cellular malfunction is to prescribe symptom suppressive pharmaceutical drugs, administer chemotherapy, or radiate the body and poison the cells into an even further damaged state instead of bridging the gap and getting into what you talk about, the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, that will actually restore health to the body by going to the cell level and feeding the cells the things that they need to survive and thrive.
          
Correct.  The readers need to know that there is only one disease and only two factors that cause the one disease of cellular malfunction:  Toxicities and Insufficiencies.  The categories of toxicities, Greg, would cover your environmental contaminants, food contaminants, beverage contaminants, your industrial household cleaners, and everything else I just described above.
 
Then you have your insufficiencies which are caused by the toxicities: insufficient respiration, hydration, circulation, nutritional assimilation, etc.  When you have a caked-up coating around the cell membranes, obviously that would cause hydration problems — the water can’t get in.  It would cause oxygenation problems, or what’s called hypoxia, which is the medical term for low oxygen and that’s a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses and even cancer.

It would also lead to nutritional insufficiencies.  If you have a cell membrane that is caked up, coated and solidified, obviously amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes — those eleven categories I talked about, even the photon light and electricity, are going to have trouble penetrating the cell membrane to get inside the cell.  You need intracellular nutritional elements instead of extra-cellular.
              
Most people don’t understand that it’s not the quantity that you take in with nutrition, it’s the quality.  What is the bioavailability?  What is actually absorbing intracellular versus floating on the outside called extra-cellular nutrition?  And most people don’t take in the proper nutrients necessary to get inside the cells where the genetic material lays, especially the inner hub called the nucleus, which is where the subatomic particles are.  That’s the power that runs the cellular engines.
              
So based on the location of the cellular malfunction, there is a correlating symptom or group of symptoms that is intelligently built in by God as a warning signal that medical science calls disease.  Every cellular malfunction in the human body, similar to a car, has the dummy lights that correlate to where the malfunction is occurring.  Medical science, out of ignorance, is wiping out the cellular cry (symptoms), driving the disease deeper instead of getting to the cellular malfunction because of ignorance in their training in med school.
           
Greg:  What you say sounds so simple, Gary.  Why doesn’t the medical establishment address these issues and correct the problems at the cellular level instead of just shutting down symptoms at the system level?
              
You can sum it all up in one simple word – MONEY! The medical training curriculum in the top university medical schools of Harvard, Baylor and Stanford make sure that the medical doctors are not taught the most important subject matters of symptoms verses disease.  Remember, these are 20-year-old kids that want to be an MD.  They’re sitting in front of a professor in a position of trust with a white coat who’s probably on the payroll of a drug company.  So, due to the infiltration of millions of dollars in the form of grant money or research money, they make sure that they do not teach the two subject matters that are the answers for cellular disease treatments: homotoxicology and nutritional biochemistry.
 
Medical doctors are ignorant about the toxic assaults against the DNA, cell membrane, genetic material, and the deficiencies of nutritional elements that are the building blocks of the cells.  The reason why these two subject matters are totally eliminated in medical school is because if they were ever taught that toxins cause cellular damage they would have to point their finger at their own profession and question their own toxic medicine, surgical knives of butchery, unnecessary organ removal, nuclear radio isotopes, chemotherapy, and radiation, and say, “Well, Professor, you’re telling us that toxins, X-Rays, and the category of synthetic compounds are the main cause of disease and cellular malfunction.  Then why are we writing symptom suppressive prescriptions with multiple side effects?  Why are we using mustard gas derived chemotherapy cocktails, radiation which causes cancer, and these radio isotopes and media contrast dyes that cause DNA damage?”

All of these treatments rob nutritional elements, make cellular respiration worse, cause dehydration, wipe out the immune system, and make cellular pH more acidic, allowing future opportunistic infections and disease to flourish.
                             
Greg:  The reality is if they were taught the truth, their whole empire would crumble because it’s built on a foundation of junk science that cannot withstand the light of truth.
              
Absolutely. It’s built on sand. When you start with a lie based on pseudo science you’ve got to maintain that lie to protect the economic system.  The whole medical profession is built on symptom suppression. Symptoms are not the disease they are just the warning signals of the cellular cry due to cellular malfunction caused by toxicities and insufficiencies.
              
What’s interesting is these two factors cause a cascade of other problems that will eventually drive you into the hospital.  Cellular detoxification should be one of the main treatment options of medical doctors to remove the cellular toxemia from the kidneys, liver, and blood so the cells can breathe properly again.  That is not even addressed in the medical profession.  There is not one mainstream medical doctor that will implement a cellular detoxification program.
              
Greg:  Let’s get into the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that you recommend to stay healthy and recover from illness. Your first and most important pillar is Cellular Detoxification.
              
The reader needs to know that in the category of cellular detoxification, there are at least nine factors that need to be done to clean up the cellular toxemia.  The first is bowel elimination.  The bowels are a major elimination system that protects the liver and cells from toxic contamination.  Most people are constipated because they’re eating fiberless, colon clogging food that is causing congestion to the 30-foot alimentary canal which eventually leads to putrefied proteins, rancid fats and fermented carbs.  When they mix together, you get cancer-causing agents of nitrates, sulfates, purines, and peroxide free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals which will enter into the blood through the portal vein.  You have to implement measures of colon cleansing to detoxify the body. Temple Cleanse is a powerful magnesium based ozone product that I use which has superoxide ozonates to help break up the fecal matter into water and gases like Liquid Drano.            

Greg:  What do you recommend after cleansing the colon?

Cleanse the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system because they are the body’s filtration organs.  If the liver is backed up, the toxins switch to the kidneys. When the kidneys back up, toxins are shoved through the skin, which is the second kidney.  Rashes are really caused by a backup of the colon, liver and kidneys.  Seven layers of the dermis and the epidermis get clogged by the toxic sludge trying to come out through the skin pores through sweat.  Most people have trouble with perspiration, especially women.
              
Greg:  What are some things that people can do to cleanse their liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system?
              
I use a homeopathic drainage remedy from Germany called the Detox Kit which has three vials; one for the liver, kidneys, and the lymphatic system.  Then I use an extra drainage remedy for the blood because the life of the flesh is in the blood.
              
We also have herbs. There is milk thistle for the liver and uva ursa for the kidneys.  Even pure cranberry juice that doesn’t have sugar is great for the kidneys.  I’m a real advocate of fresh vegetable juices that have live enzyme and high chlorophyll content along with thousands of phytonutrients that cannot be matched in a chemistry lab.  As simple as fresh juice is from a juicer, it washes through the kidneys and liver because the digestive enzymes are intact and there’s no digestion needed because the juicer just did the digestive tract’s job.  It’s a tremendous pH changer, too.
              
Greg:  What are some of the other protocols of detoxification beyond cleaning the colon, liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system that you recommend?
              
The next detox pathway I open up would be respiration, which is as simple as breathing properly.  Deep breathing and regular exercise will increase O2 respiration and CO2 output, alkalizing pH.
             
Next would be increasing circulation.  Most people are sedentary so they don’t have any lymph and blood circulation. You have a stagnation which is caused by lack of life-giving circulation.  A stagnant swamp draws mosquitoes and flies and allows fungus and algae to grow on the top.  Many people have systemic candida problems because of stagnation. Then the sugar, white flower and Frankenfoods that they’ve been eating for years eventually collect in that stagnation and ferment, causing scavengers of bacteria, viruses, parasites, fluke worms, round worms and other virulent pathogens that eventually feed and breed in that area.
              
Next would be addressing vibratory problems.  Cell vibration would obviously be affected by not having enough electromagnetic pulse waves to the cells because of toxicities and other factors I’ve talked about. Lack of circulation, filtration and exercise causes cell vibration to drop to where cells become wobbly instead of having a high vibratory rate — what’s called resonance. Instead of having a left spin of health, which vacuums nutrition into the cells like a tornado vortex, the cells becomes wobbly and repel nutrients and fluids with a right spin and low vibratory rate similar to two magnets in opposition to each other. When this happens they start spinning right, keeping them on the outside of the cell.  The cells either spin left for health or right in a “dis-ease” process.

My last protocol of detoxification is heavy metal chelation.  Most people today are loaded with heavy metals from mercury amalgam fillings in their teeth, fish, vaccines, aluminum from aluminum cans, cookware, cosmetic items and other industrial sources.  All of these heavy metals imbed deep into the brain and nervous system and have a dramatic impact on the body’s health.  It’s important to find out what heavy metals may be in your system so they can be chelated out of the body.  
              
Greg:  Let’s pick up on your 2nd Pillar of Cellular Health, Gary.
              
Okay.  It’s correcting Cellular Oxygenation and respiration. Most people, because they’re sedentary, don’t breathe in enough oxygen, they’re shallow breathers. Another problem that we have is our environment is contaminated so we have trouble getting the saturation of oxygen we need because it’s chelated with fluorocarbons, fossil fuels, and industrial contaminants.
              
There are a lot of oxygen therapies available to help correct oxygen deficiencies.  There are oxygen drops that can be added to your water.  There is ozone therapy.  In our clinic we use an ozone cabinet. Ozone is an exotic form of oxygen that’s broken down into 01’s which are nascent molecules brought in through the skin.  You can also do ozone therapies to the blood outside of the United States called autohemotherapy.  There are hyperbaric chambers that pressurize the oxygen in the blood and increase saturation. There are also water machines that can ozonate the water and actually manufacture oxygen through ozone generation.
              
Greg:  What about chlorophyll?  Doesn’t that help oxygenate the body as well?
              
Yes. Chlorophyll comes from plankton, green leafy vegetables, wheat grass, barley grass, spirulina, chlorella, and other potent green foods. Concentrated wheat and barley grass has a high chlorophyll content which helps increase oxygen.  If you look at our environment they’re cutting down the rain forests and polluting the oceans, which have the oxygen giving plankton and algae.

The attack on our oxygen is a ploy being used to cause sickness.  The global elitists know that if they can drop the oxygen, keep you away from oxygen therapy, keep your colon polluted, keep your cells contaminated and insufficient of nutrition, water, photon light, and oxygen; they can maintain their sick care industry. Disease, Inc. is built on keeping medical doctors in the dark on cellular malfunction and away from removing toxic residues from the body that purposely creates the factors that cause the insufficiencies and toxicities at the cell level.  Then by focusing on symptom suppression, they keep the medical money-go-round or the medical merry-go-round rolling.  If you never get to the root cause of cellular malfunction, you can maintain this colossal scam by perpetrating mystery illnesses to the public that have unknown causes.
              
Greg:  What is your 3rd Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
The third pillar is Cellular Hydration. I’m talking about living water versus dead water.  When the body becomes too toxic the cell membranes become solidified with toxic residues and water has a hard time getting inside the cell.  The only water that would break up the toxic residue around the cell membrane would be micro-clustered or structured water that has an ionic exchange. Once water enters the cell, it actually forces toxins in the genetic material outside of the cell.  It spits out the toxic residues that have accumulated inside the cell back into the lymph and then eventually back into the blood circulation where they can be eliminated by the skin, colon, urinary tract, or through respiration.

Most people don’t drink enough water and they don’t drink the proper type of water.  People truly believe that H2O is H2O, whether it comes from reverse osmosis, distillation, or some type of water in the stores?  Through my research with fluid dynamics and hydro technology, water is as complex as quantum physics.  In order to properly hydrate the body you have to have alkalized micro-clustered structured water that is similar to a hexagonal snowflake if you look at it frozen under a microscope.  That’s what’s called intracellular water that gets inside the cell versus floating on the outside of the cell membrane.

There’s an incredible invention called The Alkalizer, which is a Living Water machine that works phenomenally well.  Tap water comes in, it’s filtered through a carbon filter, and then it’s actually run through the machine and restructured by platinum and titanium plates by electrolysis.  The water is restructured into that snowflake structure that I talked about – what’s called a micro-cluster which has a particle size that is so tiny that it passes right through the cell membrane into the cell.
              
What’s interesting about this water, too, is that it will bond to any nutrition in the blood, especially oxygen, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, pro-oxidants, etc. pulling them right into the cell with it.  So you’re getting what’s called intracellular technology versus an extra cellular technology.  Most waters are flat and dead because they have no mineral content.  Reverse osmosis and distillation have no life force.  It may be pure filtered H2O, but unfortunately it’s flat dead water that floats on the outside of the cell as opposed to going inside of the cell.
                            
Greg:  A lot of patients you work with think they’re getting hydrated drinking bottled water (Aquafina, Dasani, etc.) but they’re still dehydrated aren’t they?
              
Absolutely.  I’m still finding that they’re dehydrated because the body is getting water, but the cells are screaming, “I know you drank water, I didn’t.”  And the cells will continually scream for hydration if you’re not drinking intracellular water.  The dehydration is at the cellular level, not at the blood and system level.
              
Greg:  When you talk about drug companies and modern medicine, none of them recommend hydrating the cells properly as a protocol to getting well.  In fact, pharmaceuticals dehydrate most cells in the body, don’t they?
              
Yes they do.  Dehydration is a main culprit in migraine headaches. Every single pillar of cellular health that I recommend is actually blocked or antagonized by pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation which are the only four tools of treatment in the toolbox of the medical establishment.
              
Greg:  Let’s pick up on your 4th Pillar of Cellular Health.
              
Cellular Nutrition. I also call it intracellular nutrition or nutritional assimilation. What we’ve been taught is basic nutrition but I want to bring it a step ahead to show that the cells need to have intracellular nutrition versus extra-cellular nutrition just like I described with the water.  That means either the nutrition is floating on the outside or it’s vacuumed in where the genetic material, the DNA, and the co-factors of the cellular engine that run the cells are.  It’s called bioavailability. What is your assimilation inside the cell?  It has nothing to do with dosage.

This is not addressed in nutrition.  They’re just telling you to pop your pills and get your isolated vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.  What they don’t tell you is the type of minerals, vitamins, and nutrition that you need to take into the body that are bioavailable.
              
Greg:  Why don’t you explain what some of those are so our readers know what intracellular nutrition you recommend. We don’t want them buying a generic multi-vitamin thinking that they’re getting intracellular nutrition from it.
              
There are only a few companies out there that have figured out that liquid nutrition in a soluble ionic form instead of a colloidal or rock shale form actually has a higher absorption rate versus capsules, tablets, and pills that need to be digested and then broken down by the liver and kidneys.  One of my favorite lines is that “It’s a sin to put synthetics into a human living biological machine.”  Anything that’s not plant derived that is put into a chemistry lab in a synthetic concoction and synthesized is looked at as a foreign substance consisting of petroleum-based carbon-chain constructs.  When it comes to products like Centrum or a One-A-Day from Walgreen’s or Wal-Mart, you get what you pay for.  And you’re going to get synthetic constructs that are not going to be utilized versus a product such as Vibe from Eniva which has a solubility that creates a magnetic effect so the nutrition gets inside the cell.

If people bridge in the eleven categories of nutrition that I discussed earlier that are needed to build healthy cells, it will play a major role in cellular health.  Your readers need to know the synergy involved with these eleven categories. It’s called synchronicity. You can’t separate the eleven categories of nutrition or the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that I am laying out.  They all work synergistically.  By doing cellular detox alone, it would obviously help, but if you’re not doing cellular oxygenation, cellular hydration, cellular nutrition, cellular immunity and so forth, you’re going to have gaps in cell function.  The body’s cellular matrix engine parts cannot run on oxygen only, or vitamins only, or minerals only; they need all nine pillars for peak performance. To tell someone to take their vitamin C, vitamin B6, or calcium is useless information.  What about the other nutrients that work with these isolated nutrients?
              
You have to see the rain forest instead of just looking at a tree to see the big picture that the cell runs on integrative complex factors and not just myopically running on one thing at a time.  If an automobile engine runs on many parts, the cellular engine runs on many parts.  And you have to understand those 9 parts, which is what I’m trying to explain.  When you combine oxygen, photon light, micro-clustered water, minerals, living foods from plants, etc. the blood becomes extremely rich as far as health is concerned and a flowing river of life to the hundred trillion cells, as long as there’s circulation flowing from head to toe.
              
Greg:  What’s the 5th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Correcting Cellular pH.
           
Greg:  You and I wrote a book and produced a CD set called “The Battle For Health is Over pH.”  pH is a huge part of the health  program, but when you bridge everything else in that you’re talking about here, the body’s pH corrects itself, doesn’t it?
              
Correct, as long as you’re incorporating the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.  Acidic pH actually draws in virulent pathogens and scavengers to clean up the mess. Acidosis also shuts down cell process.  Instead of running on 8 cylinders, the cells will only run on four cylinders, causing a host of problems.

Greg:  So it’s very important for people to stop doing all the things that are poisoning them with acid, isn’t it?
             
Absolutely.  The sugar-laden, saturated fat American diet or what they call the standard American diet is loaded with toxins and acids coming from food sources and beverages.  You have carbonated beverages, sugar, coffee, alcohol, and even acid emotions of anger to stress, which is a major factor in the United States.  Most people are eating a diet that is 80 percent acid and 20 percent alkaline, if they’re lucky.  For some it’s 90 percent acid and 10 percent alkaline.  It should be 80 percent alkaline and 20 percent acid in order for cellular process to function correctly, in order to maintain that 7.3 pH.
              
Greg:  What is your 6th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Cellular Immunity or cellular immune system modulation versus manipulation.  Everything in medical science is a manipulator to cellular immunity, such as bone marrow transplants, gamma globulin injections, interferon, and interleukin injections.  What they don’t understand in immunology is the immune system runs on 22 instruments simultaneously and it plays like a symphony orchestra.  When you manipulate one out of the 22 and elevate it artificially, then you throw off the other 21 instruments causing a homeostatic imbalance to the body.
              
With cellular immunity you need to modulate it like tuning in a piano or a radio that’s between channels.  To do this you need glycosugars, which is the science of glycobiology, transfer factors, mushroom extracts, aloe vera, colostrum, Beta-1,3-glucans, thymus extracts, glandulars, and many other natural compounds.  These healing elements are all powerful immune system modulators as opposed to artificial manipulators.  All of these modulators actually tune in the 22 instruments that play the immune system symphony.

You have T cells, B cells, memory cells, natural killer cells, tumor necrosis factor, interferon, interleukin, etc. You have a wide variety of different types of white blood cells that are orchestrated as an immune system symphony and communicate to each other like a wireless fiber optic phone system.
              
Greg:  What would be your 7th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Cellular Communication.  Again, like I said earlier, we communicate and our cells communicate.  We use different languages of Spanish, German, Polish, Norwegian, etc., cells have different languages depending on the cell type.  The problem is if the DNA antenna and transmitter cannot receive the electromagnetic, hormonal, electrochemical, or the neurotransmitter pulse waves, they cannot receive the correct pulse to trigger a cellular communication to the distant or neighboring cells.  A good analogy would be to picture a hundred trillion cells firing like a wireless phone system.  There are over 6 billion people on the planet. Envision all of them picking up a wireless cell phone and making a phone call.  That’s 6 billion conversations going on simultaneously.  Then picture everyone hitting three-way with three-way conversations going on throughout the world.  Then picture everyone hitting conference call where each phone has the capability of 1,000 conversations.
              
Now picture everyone dunking their phone in mud.  What would happen?  Transmission and reception would be affected.  When the body’s cells become suffocated or contaminated by the cellular toxemia or sludge, they block the cell membrane and the electromagnetic, neurotransmitter, and hormonal pulse waves cannot get in and hit the DNA coil to transmit and receive cellular messages.  It shuts down cellular communication making you tired and docile.
              
A lack of glycosugars on the cells’ receptors also plays a factor in the cellular communication breakdown.  If glycosugars are not lining the cell membrane and causing a Braille-type notching, the cells can’t fire the messages.  When our mouths are covered, we can’t talk and communicate.  When cell membranes are coated with toxins and deficient in glycosugars, they can’t talk and communicate properly either.
              
When a hundred trillion cellular engines are being shut down from proper communication, it affects moods and feelings.  It also affects energy and thought process.  If you look at every Pillar of Cellular Health I’ve talked about, electromagnetics and photons are involved. Every nutrient in a living form is conductive, whether it’s oxygen, minerals, essential fatty acids, or water, which carries current just like if you were in a bathtub with a live radio thrown into it.  Water is a carrier of current, as long as you have the right type of water in the body.  So every pillar contributes to cellular electricity.
              
Greg:  When you talk about glycosugars, can you expound on that a little bit more because this is a relatively new science that has a lot of clinical research behind it?

Just like there are essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, and essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs, there are essential sugars that the body needs too.  Due to our poor dietary habits and the degeneration of the environment around the world, our bodies are lacking some of these essential sugars. Even if you’re following these pillars that I’ve outlined here, if you’re missing four, five, or six of these important sugars on the cells, you’re still going to be lacking perfect health because your cells aren’t going to be able to communicate without those essential sugars on them.

Unfortunately, because no one eats perfect, we have to implement these glycosugars in a supplement form.  There are only two products that I know of currently that offer a complete blend of these essential sugars. One is Manapol from Carrington Labs and the other is Ambrotose from Mannatech.  
            
Greg:  The only problem with Mannatech is that they are promoting these sugars as the cure all.  Unless you incorporate your 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, you’re missing a whole spectrum of other treatment protocols that are necessary.  Your famous line that always sticks in my head is “There is no magic bullet, whether it’s with nutritional supplements or pharmaceutical drugs.”
              
Absolutely not.  Just as no organ works alone, no cell works alone, no system works alone, and no nutritional element works alone.  That needs to be known.  There is a lot of deception out there.  You can’t bake a cake with flour only.  You need a lot of ingredients.  The cells need a lot of ingredients.  This is why incorporating these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health are so important.  The reason why the Lord has chosen nine is that nine is the only number in the universe that completes itself.  We are complete in cellular health with 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.
              
Greg:  Can you explain to our readers how nine completes itself?
              
In Pythagoras math, nine is the only number in the universe that remains nine when multiplied and broken down into one digit by adding the digits together.  For example, 1 times 9 equals 9; 2 times 9 equals 18, 1 plus 8 is 9; or 9 times 3 equals 27, 2 plus 7 is 9; 9 times 4 equals 36, 3 plus 6 is 9; 9 times 8 equals 72, 7 plus 2 is 9.  If you go to 9 billion times 9 it equals 81 billion, 8 plus 1 plus 0000000000 is 9.  So it completes itself to eternity, forever. That’s why God chose that number as a completion number.  We are complete in 9.

When you incorporate these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, it kicks in God’s self-healing autonomic system, so the healing doctor that’s inside you is triggered.  It’s a catalyst that ends up triggering the self-healing system to repair any cellular damage there is.  And then the symptom of the cellular damage or the cellular malfunctioning goes away.

Greg:  What is your 8th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Hormone Modulation.  Again, you need hormone modulators instead of hormone manipulators.  Males and females are both suffering from serious hormonal imbalances and problems because of all the toxicities in the environment, foods, beverages, and the drugs they’re taking like the pill and these hormone replacement therapies.  If you look at medical science and allopathic Westernized medicine, their limitation of treatment is hormone manipulation with Premarin, Prevarin or synthetic testosterone for men.  They are throwing off the homeostasis of the other hormones that work in synergy with that individual hormone.  You cannot manipulate one hormone without throwing nine more off because they work in synergy.  If you manipulate estrogen you’re going to throw off luteinizing hormone or follicle stimulating hormone or growth hormone and DHEA.  No one knows what hormones are going to be thrown out of balance.
              
You need plant derived substances that are non-toxic coming from nature that modulate these hormones like tuning in a piano or a radio.  A plant-derived compound could be damiana. There’s black cohosh, blue cohosh, dong quai, dioscorea extract coming from the Mexican yam, plant sterols, natural progesterone cream, and many other compounds.  Most problems in women aren’t estrogen problems; they’re progesterone problems.  The very thing that they increase in medicine (estrogen) is causing cancer.
              
Greg:  We published a big story on that in Crusader along those very same lines.  Dr. Sherrill Sellman said that women are being given way too much estrogen and they lack progesterone which is what would really help correct a lot of their hormonal problems.
              
Correct. In society today women have been buying the lie that they can go get Premarin which means pregnant mare’s urine.  This is what they’re sticking into the body of a woman.  Out of ignorance, most women don’t know that so they’re putting these synthetic concoctions into the blood and causing more toxins and hormonal imbalances, risking breast and ovarian cancer.
              
Greg:  Would incorporating a detoxification program be one of the biggest things to correcting a lot of the hormone problems to begin with?
              
Absolutely.  In fact, I don’t touch any of my patients in my clinic without doing the cellular detoxification first. I put them on a whole body detox.  I call it Dr. Detox, which is formulated to clean up the liver, kidneys, blood, lymphatics, colon, and the cells first.  Eventually the cells are allowed to breathe again and receive the intelligent nutrients.  Then I do what’s called a building phase where I build the hormones, build the immunity, build the nutritional deficiencies and then increase the blood flow to the injured or diseased areas.  Eventually the cellular engines become bathed again by the oxygen, photon light, water, vitamins, minerals, EFA’s, — whatever is missing.  Then the cellular engines synthesize what they’re supposed to.  They actually regenerate instead of degenerative.  So you’re either getting a cellular degeneration by lacking the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health or you’re getting a regeneration by implementing them.
           
Greg:  Pick up on the 9th Pillar of Cellular Health.

The last pillar is Stabilizing Cellular Emotion and Spirit.  There is an emotional component to the cell which is thinking and speaking.  Prayer is a link to the nucleic hub of the cell, the Holy Spirit.  If you’re speaking negative factors into your life, you’re going to draw negative circumstances and the cells are affected by negative gene expression.  If someone is screaming at you or says “I hate you” – it will change the chemistry of the cells.  This is Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work. He’s actually proven that even the water surrounding the cell is going to be shattered in a chaotic structure like broken glass by speaking negative things of hate and anger.  Or if you’re speaking love and positive joyful things, the water will make a perfect hexagonal snowflake structure.  Everyone needs to know that what you’re thinking or speaking is where you go.  You will draw the circumstances into your life, negative or positive, and the cells will function in a degenerative way or a regenerative way, depending on what’s said or thought.
              
Greg:  Music also plays a big role in this emotional/spiritual role.  Feeding your mind and your spirit with the wrong music all day long can definitely have a negative effect on your health, correct?
              
Absolutely.  Getting back to that water being effected by sound, acid rock, rap, and a lot of this chaotic music nowadays has satanic lyrics.  They’re hidden lyrics that you’re just not aware of and it affects the water around and inside the cell in a negative way, which causes cellular degeneration.  Eventually it’s going to give you suicidal tendencies.  That’s why you’re hearing about murders now with a lot of these rock groups and children that listen to this type of music.

Releasing toxic emotions would be a factor in this category too.  It’s kind of what I call an emotional constipation.  When you hang on to toxic emotions such as anger, bitterness, resentment, hatred, unforgiveness, etc. and don’t release it, your cells are affected in a degenerative or a negative way.  It can even cause acidic pH.
              
Greg:  So what happens when a person incorporates all of these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health?
              
All of the body’s 100 trillion cells regenerate and perform at optimum capacity.  The body’s built in self-healing system kicks in and the body heals itself.  Every cell in the body either replaces itself in a regenerative way — gets stronger — or it degenerates and walks down the basement.
              
I even take it a step further. These 9 Pillars of Cellular Health impact the subatomic particles inside the nucleus of the cell where the DNA is that makes up the atom.  Subatomic particles form the atomics of the cell.  Atoms form molecules and molecular structures such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen which make up the genetic material of the cell.  Cells then make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up the systems, and systems make up the body.
              
The power that runs the cell is the subatomic, which is the unseen spiritual component of the cell.  The Holy Spirit has a link to every single one of your hundred trillion cells.  I call it the nucleic hub where the subatomic particles reside.  That’s the spiritual side of man, the link to God, which runs the intelligence of the hundred trillion cells every nanosecond of the day.

USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs, Bruce Knight has promised the NAIS program is easy to enroll and totally voluntary on the federal level, "if . . . enough livestock owners enroll so it does not have to go mandatory."

The fourth Component is meticulously touched by Knight, "If USDA decides to make all or parts of the NAIS mandatory, APHIS will follow the normal rulemaking process." With rules, laws, inspections, taxes, regulations, or licensing comes next, the fourth component……Enforcement.

NAIS policing is not a happy subject especially when the first component is not setting well with the majority. It is more serious for those who want to know the NAIS price tag, before they permanently enroll.

In 2007 the US spent nearly one trillion dollars in enforcements, policing, investigations, and mandatory compliances. Although this was a huge expense to the citizenry, the fines, penalties, licenses, and private property confiscations was an equally swelling amount.

The current "rule making process" for USDA is found on line at Cornell University Law School.  Civil penalties enforceable by USDA for a mandatory NAIS are allowed for each case $50,000, $250,000 and $500,000 with up to 10 years in prison.

Penalties appropriate to the violation is a cornerstone fundamental of the US judicial system. However, enforcement is totally capricious with USDA. One could be fined in county court $1000 for a 60 mph speed violation through a school zone, yet $50,000 for crossing a state line with one number incorrect on a USDA issued livestock health certificate—-for a perfectly healthy child's pony!  Dr. Max Thornsberry, President of R-CALF USA says, "The USDA is a run away agency out of control, with total disregard for U.S. citizens."

Producers have been mystified by the massive amount of grants and funds (cooperative agreements) doled by USDA to get NAIS to mandatory. The nearly $150,000,000 used to promote enrollment looks large, but ….. it would only take 300 violations of $500,000 each to quickly earn it back.

US leaders watch other government trends to create new laws and taxation. Government animal ID systems have been urged in a few countries prior to the marketing of NAIS in the US.  Australia, the only country to have implemented electronic tagging and tracking as proposed by USDA is a prototype for enforcement.

Stephen Blair, Director of the Angus Society of Australia was recently fined $17,300. He was prosecuted by Australian Minister McDonald for moving cattle from one of his ranches wearing ID tags from his other ranch to a livestock auction. No diseased or stolen livestock were involved. This is a tiny example of the enforcement USDA could wield over US livestock producers if NAIS was exacted mandatory.

Part of the title for Bruce Knight, is "REGULATORY PROGRAMS." This explains his tigerish priorities for the income generating fourth component of NAIS—-ENFORCEMENTS.

The USDA/APHIS policing division is the Investigative and Enforcement Services (IES) with headquarters in Raleigh, NC, Fort Collins, CO, and Riverdale, MD.  IES boasts of increasing thousands of "clients" with a 51% increase in case load and "more than a threefold increase in the dollar value of civil penalties" in one recent year. To enforce the ever increasing number of regulations, the government seeks to make ordinary citizens their enforcers. Even today all neighbors, farm employees, friend or foe are encouraged on the IES web site to "Report potential violations, please contact IES." Wisconsin tried to use bulk milk haulers to enforce NAIS against Amish dairy farmers in 2007. The Fourth Component is operational and extremely aggressive.

The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) printed an information flyer to dispel negative NAIS exaggerations. Question: Reports say you're going to charge $1000 a day for not participating if it is mandatory. Answer: "The TAHC is a regulatory agency and has administrative penalty provisions in it's law as a recourse for persons who refuse to comply."

The Fourth Component is Enforcements and the majority of US livestock producers don't like the thought of imprisonment and exorbitant fines.

NAIS, when mandatory, as proposed by USDA, will require 100% computer movement documentation at the full expense of livestock owners. In a three year period the total NAIS computer entries in the USA will more than eclipse the number of all people living on the entire planet. The whopping magnitude of this federal numbering burden will require a giant increase in USDA employees, facilities, and, of course IES will explode with new "clients."

The large majority of livestock producers refuse to enroll in NAIS. Oppose NAIS now, rather than when it becomes scurrilously mandatory. There is a small amount of time remaining to politically react.

Federal Flameproof Mattress Regulation Creates New Health Risk

70 seconds open flame test

NBC and CBS Poison Mattress news featured on Valentine’s Day (Feb-14-08):

The NBC Investigative Reporter caught the government in a lie saying chemicals in beds don’t get out.  Then the reporter showed the government's own scientific report proving chemicals do leach out and are absorbed in our bodies.

Mattresses must now withstand this open flame test for 70 seconds at 2,000 degrees. Wool burns at 600 degrees.  This is a new mattress regulation and July 1, 2007 was the compliance deadline for the national regulation, and all mattresses that are manufactured after that date contain toxic chemicals.

NBC interviewed several mattress factory employees who say they and dozens of their co-workers have gotten sick in the past eight months.  Employees were experiencing rashes, fever, skin irritations, headaches, sore throats, nose bleeds, bronchitis and coughs.  They all say the health problems began last year when the manufacturers started making mattresses that pass the government’s new flame test.  When asked if they would sleep on the mattresses their factory was making the workers stated they would not.

Although we may not know every chemical that has to be put in these mattresses in order to pass the 70 second open flame test (2,000 degrees) what we do know is that insecticides, fertilizers, antimony (arsenic-cancer), boric acid (roach killer), ammonium polyphosphate (fertilizer that breaks down to ammonia), melanine (poisoned out pets recently), formaldehyde (cancer-blindness), polyvinyliden chloride (PVDC),.fiberglass, and silica glass (simple glass) are some of what is being used.  Many of these chemicals are proven to leach from mattresses and can be absorbed into our bodies.  European scientists have proven that antimony leaches through vinyl on crib mattress.  Yes, many new crib mattresses contain antimony.  Antimony poisoning is similar to arsenic poisoning.

Mattress manufactures deny using chemicals, and there is no labeling requirement. I have been asked to inform my patients of the possible health risk and give patients freedom of choice.  Most people do not want to unknowingly sleep in and absorb toxic chemicals.

All mattresses contain chemicals but now with the added chemical there is a very serious health risk. Spread the word and tell your friends to be very careful.  These companies may not reveal the truth to you.

by Greg Ciola

The American public and the world have become the unwitting subjects of a massive toxicological experiment from personal care products.

It’s ironic that in a day and age when so many have a heightened fear of terrorism and infectious diseases, few are aware of the harmful health risks coming from soaps, shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants, toothpaste, skin creams, cosmetics, hair sprays, laundry detergents, dishwashing products and household cleaners.  Billions of people every day are being exposed to ingredients that are proven carcinogens, toxins, neurotoxins, hormone disrupters, skin irritants, allergens, and respiratory disrupters. Some of the ingredients being used have even proven to be deadly to laboratory animals yet the government has declared them safe for use with humans.

Might this be one reason why so many people suffer from such things as dry skin, itchy skin, persistent skin irritations and rashes, sinus problems, allergies, asthma, respiratory ailments, reproductive problems, neurological disorders, and other health related ailments that doctors and medicine just don’t seem to have answers for?

Perhaps it’s time you examined your personal care products a little further to see if they are having a deleterious effect on your overall health. We have reached the point where diet and exercise alone are not enough to keep your health in check.  You must monitor and regulate every aspect of your life – from what you put on your body to what you put into your body, and even to what you use to clean your house.

Beware Of The Hidden Dangers of Shampoo

Unless the shampoo you use has been thoroughly investigated to be free of all caustic chemicals, phthalates, parabens, sodium lauryl and laureth sulfate, artificial fragrances and numerous other toxins, you are more than likely exposing yourself and loved ones to a risky brew of ingredients that could be extremely hazardous to your health. Did you that a majority of the ingredients used in personal care products are actually derived from petroleum by-products, coal tar, and animal fats? I am sure that given the choice most of you wouldn’t choose ingredients derived from these sources to wash your hair or body.

Here’s something interesting to ponder. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. The final results were as follows.

• 884 of the chemicals were toxic
• 778 caused acute toxicity
• 376 caused skin and eye irritation
• 314 caused biological mutation
• 218 caused reproductive complications
• 148 caused cancerous tumors

Parents of newborns and little children beware! A new study published in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics suggests that baby shampoos, lotions and powders may expose infants to chemicals that have been linked with possible reproductive problems.

The study focused on chemicals called phthalates, which are becoming fairly common in the environment. They are used in lubricants and cosmetics, and increasingly they are showing up in plastic products, including children’s toys.

A story appearing on the website www.consumeraffairs.com highlighted the study:

       “Researchers carefully measured the phthalates levels in the urine of 163 infants between the ages of two and 28 months. They compared those levels to a description of their recent activities, provided by their mothers.
       The moms in the study were specifically asked about any lotions, shampoo, powders, wipes or diaper creams they had used, as well as the use of plastic toys, teething rings and pacifiers.
       While all the infants in the study had some level of phthalates in their urine, those who had used shampoo, lotion and powder had higher levels of the chemical than those who did not. The researchers concluded that parents who want to reduce phthalates in their children should avoid products that contain these chemicals.”

It’s quite disturbing that manufacturers actually produce products that they know can harm people, especially innocent little children.  To highlight the problem further with personal care products on the market, I decided to take one popular brand of shampoo (name withheld) and examine its contents so you have some deeper insight into what you may be exposing yourself to every day.

Here’s what the label said it contains:  Ammonium Chloride, Glycerin, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Octoxynol, Fragrance, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Red 40.
 
(Some of the information was obtained from two books: A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients and A Consumers Dictionary Of Food Additives by Ruth Winter.)

1)  Ammonium Chloride:  Industrially employed in freezing mixtures, batteries, dyes, safety explosives, and in medicine as a urinary acidifier and diuretic.  If ingested, can cause nausea, vomiting, and acidosis in doses of 0.5 to 1 gram.  Lethal as an intramuscular dose in rats and guinea pigs.  As with any ammonia compound, concentrated solutions can be irritating to the skin.

2) Glycerin:  Any by-product of soap manufacturing obtained by adding alkalis to fats and fixed oils.  A solvent, humectant, and emollient in many cosmetics, it absorbs moisture from the air and therefore, helps keep moisture in creams and other products, even if the consumer leaves the cap off the container. In and of itself glycerin is not a bad ingredient. It’s actually very beneficial when derived from the right source and is found in many organic products. The main problem with a lot of the glycerin being used in mainstream products stems from the fact that unless a product label states that it was derived from a vegetable or coconut source, it was likely obtained from pig fat.  WARNING TO KEEPERS OF LEVITICAL CLEANLINESS LAWS!

3) Glycol Distearate:  A widely used surfactant made from glycerin and stearic acid.  Glycol literally means “glycerin” plus “alcohol.”  (Stearic acid is also an animal fat and isopropyl alcohol is derived from petroleum.) This ingredient can be caustic on your skin.

4) Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS):  Prepared by sulfation of lauryl alcohol followed by neutralization with sodium carbonate.  May cause drying of the skin because of its degreasing ability and is an irritant to the skin.  Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is an ingredient found in over 90% of commercial shampoos and conditioners.  It has been shown to corrode the hair follicles and impede hair growth and has been blamed for many cases of premature hair loss.  The Material Safety Data Sheet provided by the U.S. government says exposure to SLS can lead to a burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting.  According to the American College of Toxicology, SLS stays in the body up to five days.  Other studies show that it easily penetrates the skin and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, the lungs, and the brain.

5) Octoxynols:  Wax-like emulsifiers, dispersing agents, and detergents derived from phenol and used as a surfactant.

6) Phenol:  Obtained from coal tar.  Ingestion of even small amounts of phenol may cause nausea, vomiting, circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest.

7) Coal Tar:  Thick liquid or semisolid tar obtained from bituminous coal, it contains many constituents including benzene, xylenes, naphthalene, pyridine, quinolineoline, phenol, and cresol.  The main concern about coal tar derivatives is that they cause cancer in animals, and they are also frequent sources of allergic reactions — particularly skin rashes and hives.

8) Fragrance: Fragrance is found in most deodorants, shampoos, sunscreens, skin care, body care and baby products.  Fragrance on a label can indicate the presence of up to 4,000 separate ingredients.  Almost all of them are synthetic.  Symptoms reported to the FDA have included headaches, dizziness, rashes, skin discoloration, violent coughing and vomiting, and allergic skin irritations.  (Fragrance is a clever way for manufacturers to disguise lethal and harmful ingredients and is virtually unregulated by the EPA or the FDA.)

10) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate:  A preservative widely used in cosmetics.  Has been shown to adversely affect livers in rats in feeding studies.  It also affected their behavior.  It was also mildly irritating in human testing.  (Carbamates are used in pesticides. Carbamic acid, which is colorless and odorless, causes depression of bone marrow, degeneration of the brain, nausea and vomiting.  It is moderately toxic by many routes.)

11) Blue 1:  A bright blue, coal tar derivative, triphenylmethane, used for hair colorings, face powders, and other cosmetics (see coal tar).  May cause allergic reactions.  On the FDA permanent list of color additives.  Rated 1A – that is, completely acceptable for nonfood use – by the World Health Organization.  However, it produces malignant tumors at the site of injection and by ingestion in the rat.

12) Yellow 5:  A lemon yellow coal tar derivative.  (See coal tar)

13) Red 40:  Many American scientists feel that the safety of Red No. 40 is far from established, particularly because the manufacturer conducted all of the tests.  Therefore, the dye should not have received a permanent safety rating.  The National Cancer Institute reported that p-credine, a chemical used in preparation of Red No. 40, was carcinogenic in animals.  In rats, a high oral dose of the coloring caused adverse reproductive effects.  It has been shown to cause skin sensitivity and irritation. Absorption of certain colors by the body can also cause depletion of oxygen.
 
This brief list of ingredients doesn’t even scratch the surface. There are thousands of others on the market and what I’ve just pointed out is pretty much the norm with most of them.

Do you think there may be a correlation between the use of shampoo and hair conditioners and those who suffer from dandruff, dry itchy scalp, balding, and other head, eye, and skin irritations?  Did you know that side effects from shampoo are among the most frequent complaints made to the FDA?  It should be evident after reviewing just a fraction of the ingredients being used that you should look for safer alternatives.  Washing your hair in rendered animal fats, petroleum by-products, harmful dyes and perfumes is certainly not the answer to good hygiene.     

Beware Of The Hidden Dangers of Soap

You probably didn’t know that most commercial soap and even some so-called “natural” soap on the market uses animal fat in the form of Tallow, Sodium Tallowate, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, and Glycerin as the base for their product.  Just check the labels of all the major brands and chances are you’ll find at least one of these ingredients listed.  In the case of glycerin, unless they specifically state that it is derived 100% from coconuts or a vegetable source, it more than likely has come from pig fat. Let me ask you a very important question – how can you really expect to get clean by scrubbing your skin, face, and hair with animal fats?  Could you imagine using the fat obtained from a person who had liposuction done? It’s disgusting! Why isn’t the fat from animals viewed the same way?
 
Most popular soaps also contain petroleum by products, coal tar derivatives, hard surfactants, hard alkyl benzene sulfanates, preservatives, fragrances, dyes, perfumes, deodorizers and other toxic and caustic ingredients.  Auto mechanics are warned that long-term exposure to petroleum products can cause skin cancer and other skin maladies yet we are led to believe by the cosmetics industry that these products clean and moisturize your skin. As with shampoo, your daily soap cleansing may actually be doing you more harm than good.
 
Sure, on the outside you may appear clean, but inside, your body may be a toxic waste dump full of carcinogens and health-threatening chemicals. In fact, chemical sensitivities are increasing dramatically every year and new research is linking many common cosmetic ingredients to the problem. The reason why these inferior ingredients are often used instead of safer alternatives is two-fold. They are dirt cheap, and it is a means for the meat-packing industry and the oil refining industry to make money on their by-products.

You see, millions of animals are slaughtered every year in the U.S.  To just discard the leftovers makes no sense when a rendering plant can manufacture all sorts of by-products from the remains and make a huge profit.  The majority of what is processed at a rendering plant comes from slaughterhouses, but also includes restaurant grease, expired meat from grocery stores, the carcasses of euthanized and dead animals from animal shelters, zoos, veterinarians, and road kill scraped off the highway. This material can include the fatty tissue, bones, and offal, as well as entire carcasses of animals condemned at slaughterhouses, and those that have died on farms (deadstock), in transit, etc. The most common animal sources are beef, pork, sheep, and poultry. During the rendering process the fat is separated and processed, put into containers, and sold to the cosmetic industry as a base for their product.
 
A similar situation takes place with oil refineries.  There are numerous by-products produced from crude oil and sold off to cosmetic manufacturers for cleansing and disinfectant agents. While there are many safe alternative substances available that work far better, the large corporations refuse to change because there isn’t enough consumer demand yet and they aren’t willing to sacrifice profits to switch.

One of the worst practices going on in the industry deals with manufacturers using deceptive marketing tactics to actually fool consumers into thinking that their products are natural or that they will moisturize your skin.  Beware of bold words on the front of packaging claiming that products are made with “natural” ingredients or some exotic ingredient that will moisturize your skin.  This is usually just label hype! What manufacturers do is sprinkle a tiny dose of vitamins into a product or a small amount of Aloe Vera or other natural ingredient and then claim on their label that it is fortified with natural ingredients. The consumer then sees that and thinks they are getting a terrific product and in actuality, they have been scammed. That, I believe, is one of the worst dirty tricks of the trade occurring. This is all done to simply confuse and deceive consumers.

The best way to make a difference is to make a commitment to stop purchasing any products that could contain potentially toxic ingredients and animal fats. It’s time you became an informed consumer. Your health is worth it and so is your family’s. It’s time we turned off the spigot on this money machine that makes billions of dollars every year for international corporations that care more about the bottom line than putting out a high quality product that truly benefits consumers.  It’s time to stop polluting your body with chemical toxins that can endanger your health. It’s also time to stop bathing in dead animal fats.

Don’t Be Deceived By Antibacterial Soap!
 
In addition to everything I’ve just reported there are also some very serious health risks posed by the use of antibacterial soaps. Researchers have proven that antibacterial soaps are no more effective against germs than common soap.  Frequent hand washing is the real answer.  Ironically, the massive use of antibacterial soap is leading to stronger drug-resistant germs and mutated bacterial strains. According to Myron Genel, a chairman of the AMA’s Council on Scientific Affairs: “There’s no evidence that they do any good and there’s reason to suspect that they could contribute to a problem.”
 
The fact is antibacterial soap kills beneficial bacteria on the skin and it has the potential to also get into the body and cause harm.  Why is that a concern, you ask? Because not all bacteria is bad! Thanks in part to lies woven by big pharma and the medical community, many tend to think that all bacteria is bad and that we need to go to war against it by killing it off with antibiotics, chemicals, and antibacterial soap. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If you were to examine your skin under a microscope you would find a variety of bacterial strains. Many of them work in synergy with your body to actually protect you in the environment and from the damaging effects of the sun. Researchers who have looked into the safety of antibacterial soap contend that the increased usage of it poses the risk of creating germs that are resistant to antibacterials and antibiotics.

When a doctor prescribes antibiotics, it is generally for a very short period of time and for a specific infection that won’t go away on its own.  Many doctors and scientists today are becoming increasingly concerned about the consequences of long-term use and abuse of antibiotics. It’s strange how manufacturer’s of cosmetic products and all the people using them don’t make the same association with antibacterial soaps that are now being used by billions around the world every day as though they are somehow being protected using them. It’s a huge lie!

In a memo to FDA advisory committee members the agency said, “A search of the medical literature did not reveal any studies that were able to demonstrate a link between the use of a specific consumer antiseptic and a reduction in infection rate…”

In an article that appeared in USA Today on 10/25/05, they quoted Tufts microbiologist Stuart Levy who was invited by the FDA to speak about anti-microbial resistance. Levy said, “There is no place for antibacterial chemical additives in the healthy household.”

The main antibacterial additive being used is triclosan in liquid soaps and triclocarban in hard soaps. Triclosan is a strong inhibitor of an enzyme present in many microorganisms. This enzyme is also “potentially important” as a target for new antibiotics, raising concerns that the use of triclosan may make these drugs ineffective. Conducting follow-up testing that closely mirrored typical dishwashing habits and conditions, researchers found that triclosan reacted with free chlorine to generate more than 50 parts per billion (ppb) of chloroform in the dishwater.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota reported as far back as 2003 that: “Sunlight can convert triclosan, a common disinfectant used in anti-bacterial soaps, into a form of dioxin, and this process may produce some of the dioxin found in the environment, according to research at the University of Minnesota. The researchers said that although the dioxin was a relatively benign form, treating wastewater with chlorine could possibly lead to the production of a much more toxic species of dioxin. The study is in press in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry.”

Triclocarban is a close cousin of tricolsan and is known to be just as toxic and dangerous.  In the book “A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients” it says that, “In May 1983, it was revealed that tests for this soap ingredient (Triclocarban) were falsified and that rat deaths were not reported. The reasons for the deaths were not confirmed.”

Since your skin is your body’s largest organ, the antibiotic agent (s) can absorb into your body and adversely affect your immune system, lymphatic system, endocrine system, reproductive system, and neurological system. Is it worth the risks? Parents need to be especially concerned about using antibacterial soap with young children since they tend to always put their hands in their mouth.  If a child’s hands are regularly washed with antibacterial soap, their salivary glands can easily pick up these antibiotic chemicals and deliver them straight into the bloodstream while also killing off beneficial flora in the gut that functions as a major component of the immune system.

By now you may be feeling a bit frustrated and perhaps even angry.  My goal has not been to put fear into you. I want to simply identify the problems and then point you in the direction of some safer alternatives. If I have convinced you that there are definite risks with a majority of the personal care products on the market, then I urge you to go through your home or office with a fine tooth comb and identify the products you have that contain questionable ingredients. Make sure you read all product labels thoroughly.  If you can afford it, I would throw everything out. If money is a concern, use what you have and make a commitment to get the rights products when it’s time to replace them.

A recent publication by a conservative watchdog group has rekindled media interest in a controversial anti-virus vaccine and sent Big Pharma and federal health agency officials into damage control mode.

In a 25-page special report released June 30, Judicial Watch — a Washington DC-based nonprofit organization that promotes “transparency and accountability in government” – presents evidence based on government documents that in the two years since being licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, Merck & Co’s Gardasil, heavily promoted as a safe and effective vaccine against cervical cancer, has been connected with nearly 9,000 “adverse events,” including the deaths of 18 – perhaps 20 – girls and young women.

In addition, there were 140 “serious” events reported (27 categorized as “life-threatening”), with 10 spontaneous abortions and six cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome – all since January 2008.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare, potentially devastating autoimmune disorder that attacks the peripheral nervous system and can lead to paralysis and, occasionally, death. There is no known cure or cause, but a fact sheet from the National Institute of Health says it’s sometimes triggered by surgery or vaccinations. Judicial Watch uncovered a total of 38 cases of GBS have been filed with the FDA since June 2006 (six since January) among girls who had received at least one dose of the three-dose vaccine.

The records indicate 10 deaths since last September, bringing the total number of Gardasil-connected death reports in the United States to at least 18 – four of these were from blood clots, nine from unknown or unidentifiable causes.

The fatalities include:

    *
      A 20-year-old woman with no medical history reported, who was vaccinated April 1, 2008, with Gardasil and died four days later, seeking medical attention. An autopsy was performed which ruled out suicide or anything suspicious. The cause of death is currently unknown. [VAERS ID 310262-1 (D)]
    *
      A 12-year-old girl with no reported medical problems, who died in her sleep of uknown causes on Oct. 6, 2007, three weeks after receiving a Gardasil shot. [VAERS ID: 297528-1 (D)]
    *
      An 11-year-old girl, vaccinated in May 2007 with a first dose of Gardasil, who died three days later after going to an emergency room. A physician at the hospital said “death was due to an anaphylactic [severe allergic] reaction to Gardasil.”[VAERS ID 280163-1 (D)]

Because adverse reactions to medication tend to be underreported, Judicial Watch believes the actual number is likely to be higher.

“I think we’ve uncovered a lot of disturbing things about Gardasil,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “All we’re asking for is further investigation of its safety. We’re not convinced they’re taking these reports seriously.”

Gardasil is the first vaccine on the market that targets the four strains of sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) believed to account for most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts infections.

HPV is not contagious in the way tuberculosis or measles or the common cold is. You don’t become HPV-infected by being in a crowd or sitting near someone, but through skin-to-skin contact. There are over 100 strains of HPV, 30 of which are sexually transmitted – and of these 30, 15 can cause cervical lesions and other abnormalities that may develop into cervical cancer, while about 12 can cause genital warts. Two of the strains targeted by Gardasil (HPV 16 and 18) are believed responsible for 70 percent of the cancer cases, the other two (HPV 6 and 11) cause 90 percent of the genital warts infections.

The FDA approved Gardasil on June 8, 2006, for girls and women ages nine to 26. Less than a month later the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended vaccination for all girls, ages 11 to 12. The committee’s first report on Gardasil was published the following March.

Gardasil was fast-tracked and received FDA approval before testing was complete and its final safety evaluation trials won’t be concluded until Sept. 2009. Despite this, the drug is being aggressively mass-marketed on TV and at the movies in ads pitched to young girls, including preteens, and state legislators were heavily lobbied to make the drug mandatory for school girls ages 11 up. Sold worldwide, Merck reports over 16 million doses of the vaccine have been distributed in the U.S. , and eight million women and girls have received at least one shot of the three-dose regimen.

The special report – its complete title is Examining the FDA’s HPV Vaccine Records: Detailing the Approval Process, Side-Effects, Safety Concerns and Marketing Practices of a Large-Scale Public Health Experiment — continues work Judicial Watch began in 2007 when it published two analyses (the first in May of that year, the second in Oct.) of Gardasil-related documents it had received in sets from the FDA, after making requests through the Freedom of Information Act.

As in its earlier reports, the group raises serious questions about the vaccine’s effectiveness, safety, long-range effects and overall costs — which are astronomical. At $120 a shot ($360 for the requisite three-doses), Gardasil is the most expensive vaccine on the market.

The VAERS Reports

Using FOIA, Judicial Watch obtained thousands of pages from the FDA, including 8,864 reports filed by doctors, nurses, parents and others with the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System [VAERS] – a database shared by the CDC and FDA — detailing reactions experienced by girls and women after receiving at least one shot of the vaccine.

Besides the deaths, the VAERS reports reveal a gamut of reactions – from trivial to terrifying — including vomiting, dizziness, seizures, paralysis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, swelling at the injection site and in lymph nodes in the neck and groin, fevers, hives, shortness of breath, nausea and flu-like symptoms.

There were reports of a sudden appearance of blisters on a 20-year-old's upper arms and back and ano-genital warts on a 12-year-old. A 15-year-old reported blisters that appeared in her vaginal area within two days of receiving the vaccine and spread to her upper body and behind her ears and knees. These lasted five to seven days, then developed scabs.

Judicial Watch’s use and dissemination of VAERS reports have drawn criticism from the FDA, the CDC, Merck and other advocates of the vaccine, in part because anyone can file a VAERS report — physicians, nurses, family members and patients — so the accounts tend to be dismissed as “anecdotal” and lacking-in-evidence. More important, they don’t prove the vaccine caused the event.

In the wake of the Judicial Watch report, Merck issued a press statement downplaying the findings.

The mega-drug company claimed to have “analyzed the adverse events reported for Gardasil … and based on the data available to Merck, believes that no safety issue related to the vaccine has been identified. … An adverse experience report describes an event that occurred after vaccination and does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused or contributed to the event. The vast majority of adverse events that have been reported to Merck are non-serious and the most common include dizziness and syncope (fainting).”

In a similar vein, FDA spokeswoman Kelly Riley told the Sydney Morning Herald, an Australian newspaper, that there was nothing in the VAERS reports to cause a review of the usefulness of the vaccine. “These adverse reaction reports have not been analyzed. If there’s a death after someone received a vaccine, and long after they had a car crash, a bee sting … these would be filled out. It does not mean Gardasil caused it.”

The FDA and CDC said that safety data reviewed in approving Gardasil showed only mild side effects, like pain at the injection site or fainting.

But Tegan Millspaw, the report’s lead researcher and principal author, says these critics are missing the point.

“Judicial Watch was not and is not interested in proving causality,” she writes. ”Only science can do that. And that is why we asked for more investigation of the VAERS reports to ensure there was no causality between Gardasil and the serious reported adverse reactions”

There were 18 deaths, she points out – and of those, 11 occurred less than a week after the girl had received the vaccine, seven in less than two days.

“Perhaps all these deaths are simply coincidence, but given the unknowns about Gardasil and its overall safety, it is far too important an issue to simply ignore,” Millspaw states.

Making Bad Symptoms Worse

Attracting less attention from the media are the cases of groin and genital warts – 78 VAERS-reported cases — which weren’t supposed to happen considering that Gardasil is a vaccine against the two strains of HPV that cause 90 percent of such outbreaks. But Gardasil is not a cure, it is a preventative medication – and in some instances it seems to have triggered outbreaks or made existing conditions worse, for there are reports of warts suddenly appearing after vaccination on the face, hands, feet and chest.  

“Not only will Gardasil not cure pre-existing HPV, it can also make symptoms worse,” warns Millspaw in the report. “Women who already have the virus without knowing it could suffer massive outbreaks of genital warts or abnormal precancerous lesions, both of which require extensive treatment.”

“The outcomes that can result from pre-exposure are disconcerting and deserve far more attention.”

Contacted by telephone, Millspaw told NewsWithViews of her concern that Merck did not screen women prior to vaccination for possible HPV exposure or infection.

“The reason they target very young girls is it’s easier to assume they don’t have the viruses – but the women are not screened to see if they’ve been exposed. The FDA allows that, which I find very disturbing.”

Asked whether the drug could cause sterility, Millspaw told NewsWithViews there’s “no indication” of this – “but they’re now vaccinating very young girls, so it will be years before long-term effects are known. They haven’t done enough tests to know at this point.”

Millspaw brought up another long-range possibility. “A lot of scientists are worried that preventing these four strains may just cause other HPV viruses to take their place,” she said. “That could be serious, particularly because while the vaccine protects against two main forms of cervical cancer the other [13] strains are usually more severe.”

“Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to re-evaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors,” said Tom Fitton in a press release. “In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children.”

Backlash

Fitton was referring particularly to the action that sparked the most controversy about the vaccine and unleashed a furious backlash against it: Merck’s aggressive lobbying aimed at state legislatures.

The company began marketing the drug even before the FDA gave the green light. Not by name – that would be illegal — but through a sophisticated, high-pressure public relations campaign using TV and Internet ads designed to frighten young girls about cervical cancer and HPV, so that they would accept – and demand – the drug once it became available.

But Merck was not content merely to advertise the vaccine and make it accessible to those who wanted it; as soon as it got the high-sign from the FDA it funded a huge lobbying effort to persuade state lawmakers to mandate Gardasil vaccination of young girls, including preteens, as a condition for attending public or private school.

The campaign has been fairly successful. To date: 41 states have introduced legislation to require, fund or educate the public about the HPV vaccine and 17 enacted legislation. Three considered making vaccination mandatory.

It was too much. Parents and consumer advocates from all points across the political spectrum were outraged, and in Feb. 2007 Merck announced it was dropping its lobbying campaign – though its TV advertising continues. But the lobbying was so intense, many former supporters were inspired to take a closer look at Merck and to question its motives for mass-marketing a drug before it’s been fully tested and evaluated for safety and efficacy.

A ‘Wonder Drug’ for Merck?

For instance, last July Judith Siers-Poisson, editor of PR Watch, authored a devastating four-part series for CounterPunch, a leftist biweekly newsletter, titled “The Politics and PR of Cervical Cancer,” in which she took a hard look at HPV and Gardasil – “the facts, the hype, and what Merck stands to gain, the marketing campaigns … and the media’s lack of attention to concerns about the rush to mandate vaccination…”

“Guardasil is being touted as a “wonder drug” for women. Might it also be a wonder drug for Merck?” Siers-Poisson asked then answered:

“In the world of drugs, vaccines for use by the whole population are close to corporate nirvana since they ensure a mass market for prevention instead of having to wait to identify the smaller number of people who actually develop a particular disease. In addition, mandating vaccination helps ensure a mass market and gets the government involved in what would otherwise be left to market forces.”

The drug could likely go far in replenishing the pockets of the firm as it recovers from the Vioxx recall, in which Merck’s pain medication was held to be responsible for 27,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths. Analysts estimate that the Vioxx recall decreased Merck’s stock value, and could cost Merck up to $20 billion in legal settlements.

At $360 for the three-shot regimen, Gardasil is the most expensive vaccine the FDA has ever approved. A measles-mumps-rubella combo costs $42.85. The New York Times estimates that making the vaccine mandatory would double the cost of existing vaccine programs. And John Schiller, a senior investigator for the National Institute, told the Times “This vaccine will be more expensive than all childhood vaccines put together.”

But whether paid for by insurance, tax dollars, or individual parents – at $360 a patient Merck is guaranteed billions of dollars.

It’s already paying off. Even without Gardasil being mandated, the incessant campaign has persuaded millions of young women to be vaccinated – and netted Merck $1.5 billion in sales revenue in 2007, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

How Serious a Threat?

But how serious a threat is the disease which is already costing millions of dollars to vaccinate against?

Cervical cancer is a major killer of women in non-industrial nations – as it once was in this country. Worldwide it affects 470,000 women and kills 233,000 each year. This is not the case in the United States thanks to widespread Pap screening. This is a medical screening test involving the examination of cells taken from the cervix to detect pre-malignant and malignant cervical cancer cells. It is named after its inventor, Dr. George Papanicolaou, who developed it over 60 years ago.

As a result of routine Pap tests and early, follow-up treatment when necessary, the deaths from cervical cancer plummeted 74 percent between 1955 and 1992, according to the American Cancer Society, and that rate continues downward by about four percent a year.

Today in the United States cervical cancer is so rare that it is not on the National Cancer Institute’s list of 13 most common cancers. To qualify as a common cancer, the estimated annual incidence for 2008 had to be 35,000 cases or more.

Nor is it among the top 10 deadliest diseases for women, which are heart disease and stroke, followed by lung cancer (third place, with 71,030 deaths), breast cancer (6th, with 40,480 deaths) and colon cancer (10th with 25,700 deaths), according to the American Cancer Society.

The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008, about 11,070 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer in the United States and 3,870 women will die from it. The tragedy behind those deaths is that they could likely have been prevented had the women received regular Pap tests and treatment.  

Millspaw concludes: “With these statistics in mind, one must ask whether Gardasil vaccination is absolutely necessary, especially for children. At this point in time, we do not know if it will prevent cancer, or whether it will have unforeseen consequences. The American public must ask themselves if Gardasil is really worth the risk. Fast-tracking drugs and vaccines before their safety has been fully evaluated is unethical and dangerous, and until more tests have been completed on Gardasil no vaccination mandates should be established.”  

Below is a list from the special report summarizing objections to the vaccine

    *
      Gardasil has not been tested thoroughly enough to know whether it will be safe or effective in the long term.
    *
      Even if it is shown that the Gardasil vaccine is effective, it is still unknown how long the vaccine lasts or if there will be a need for booster shots.
    *
      Regardless of its potential to help prevent HPV and cancer, Gardasil should never be administered without a prescreening for HPV since it has the potential to make existing cases worsen.
    *
      It is important that people remember that this vaccine will not eliminate the need for regular PAP screening. No vaccine is 100 percent effective, and Gardasil is designed to protect against only four strains of HPV.
    *
      While Gardasil may be an important medical advance, it is unwise to compromise the health and safety of the American public, especially children, by mandating or marketing it before sufficient tests are concluded.

The point of all this? To sell more high-profit prescription drugs, of course, to yet another group of victims being targeted for medication by Big Pharma. This is called "market expansion," and it's the only way drug companies can continue to grow their profits and keep shareholders happy.

As drug companies continue to expand their profits and influence over the now-utterly-corrupt medical industry, they are also expanding their customer base by continuing to push medications for increasingly younger demographic groups. Not content to drug more than half the adults in western nations, Big Pharma now sees children as its next area of market growth, in much the same way that soda companies once sought to persuade parents to feed their babies soda pop as a way to instill the desire for sugary beverages at a very young age.

The conventional medical profession — which has long since sold its soul to the drug companies and now functions as little more than an elaborate pharmaceutical vending machine — is likely to follow this absurd advice and place children as young as eight years old on statin drugs, even without a single safety test having ever been conducted with children taking these powerful chemicals. NaturalNews readers need no reminders that statin drug side effects include:

• Severe disruption of hormone production, including sex hormones
• Extreme loss of cellular energy
• Devastating loss of muscle function (rhabdomyolysis)
• Kidney failure
• Erectile dysfunction
• Mental confusion
• Homicidal impulses
• Amnesia

Are these the kinds of results our medical community wishes to see in eight-year-old boys and girls? Do we really want to send adolescent boys off to school, doped up on drugs that cause homicidal impulses, erectile dysfunction and mental confusion?

The medical community apparently thinks so. After all, they're already drugging up the children with psych drugs that cause suicidal thoughts and violent outbursts (school shootings, anyone?). The thought of adding yet another mind-altering, body-damaging drug to a child apparently doesn't earn a second thought from modern medical doctors, most of which are too busy cashing "speaking fee" checks from drug companies to invest any real time actually protecting the health of their patients.

But what if these children really have high cholesterol?

I can already hear the drug pushers chanting in unison: "But what if these children really have high cholesterol? Don't they deserve treatment?"

"Treatment," of course, is a clever euphemism for "drug 'em!" It's the call-to-arms of the medication industry, and it really only means pushing more drugs onto more people who don't need them.

I'm all for real treatment — that is, treatment that reverses the underlying health condition. But the medical community won't stand for that. It is currently illegal in the United States to offer a patient any treatment whatsoever that claims to reverse cancer, for example. Doctors are only allowed to offer prescription drugs and surgery, and that's it. Neither option, of course, will resolve the underlying health problem.

And what, exactly, is the underlying health problem in this case? Any child diagnosed with high cholesterol at the age of eight has been a victim of dietary abuse and physical neglect. To imbalance a child's cholesterol at such an early age requires the consumption of large quantities of:

• Milk and dairy products (like cheese)
• Fried foods and trans fatty acids
• Processed meats and animal products

Such a condition also indicates a dangerous lack of plant-based nutrients in the child's diet, since a plant-based diet focused on unprocessed, fresh foods and living foods reverses heart disease and normalizes cholesterol!

I submit that any child can be cured of high cholesterol in a matter of weeks by being fed a 100% plant-based diet, comprised entirely of non-processed foods, and including fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices along with numerous superfoods. (The junk food companies, of course, will never stand for this. They earn no profits when children eat fresh produce…)

That's how you solve the cholesterol problems in America's youth. Change their diets, and you change the health results you get. It's so simple that you'd have to be an idiot not to get it.

Why are the nutritionally illiterate in charge of health care?

Interestingly, the health authorities in power today are, indeed, idiots when it comes to nutrition. Having never been taught the absurdly simple relationships between food intake and health outcomes, they continue to operate in a fantasy realm of false ideas where food has no relationship to health and children who exhibit symptoms of disease merely suffer from pharmaceutical deficiencies requiring rectification with medication.

That's right: The mainstream medical profession now thinks of pharmaceuticals as essential nutrients, believing that children who are not given numerous medications are somehow lacking treatment or missing out on the benefits of those drugs.

And yet, at the same time, the real essential nutrients — vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals — are scoffed at by conventional medical practitioners who claim that VITAMINS exhibit no health benefits whatsoever in the human body!

You got that? Vitamins are useless, they say, but pharmaceuticals are essential!

Why no drug company will face my $10,000 health challenge

Which brings me to my $10,000 health and fitness challenge. Two weeks ago, I challenged the drug companies to produce a single person who could beat me in a physical fitness contest, pledging that I would personally pay $10,000 to anyone who could beat me. The catch? They have to provide a contestant who is experiencing the "benefits" of multiple pharmaceuticals that the drug companies claim enhance consumers' health. Y

To date, not a single drug company has dared to meet this challenge. Can you guess why? Because pharmaceuticals make you sick, not healthy. The more medications a person takes, the worse their health gets! It's true with adults, it's true with senior citizens, and it's true with children as well.

Big Pharma is an industry based on fraud. It is, in fact, a criminal operation that preys on the bodies of innocent children who will only be harmed by these patented, high-profit synthetic chemicals that have no place in the human body to begin with. What children need today is:

1: Regular access to honest, fresh, unprocessed foods.

2: An honest education in health that isn't influenced by the junk food companies.

3: Protection from all the chemicals, additives and refined ingredients in processed foods and popular beverages.

They aren't getting that in the public schools, and they sure aren't getting that from the USDA's laughable Food Guide Pyramid. And sadly, they're not even getting that in the homes, since most parents know as little about health and nutrition as conventional doctors!

See the shocking documentary: All Jacked Up

Once you understand this, you'll instantly grasp why every parent and child in America should watch the movie ALL JACKED UP, which reveals shocking truths about food, nutrition and health by following the nutritionally-induced tragedies of a group of real-world teenagers.

This movie should be shown in every school in America, and it should be required viewing for all doctors (who, of course, are too convinced of their own drug-pushing ways to even consider the idea that foods might be related to health).

Call 911: Your child is under a chemical attack!

Once you realize the truth of how drug companies are engaged in fraudulent, illegal and downright dangerous efforts to expand their profits at the expense of the public's health, you might find yourself asking the question, "Well what can we do about it?"

If you're as fed up with the mass poisoning of our children by drug companies, corrupt psych doctors and misinformed pediatricians, just invoke the law enforcement resources your tax dollars pay for: Call 911 if a doctor tries to poison your child with synthetic chemicals.

In terms of saving our children from modern medicine, you see, given all the chemical assaults on our childrens' bodies — endless vaccines, mercury fillings, dangerous drugs and toxic food additives — we're way past the point of playing nice with the people in these industries of death. It is time to start demanding the safety of our children. It's time to start making arrests of the doctors, health authorities and drug company executives who conspire to poison our children with an ever-increasing list of toxic chemicals that have absolutely no justifiable medical use.

I remind you that none of the drugs recommended by these pediatricians have EVER been tested on the young children now being screened for high cholesterol. This fact makes a complete mockery of conventional medicine's claim to be "evidence-based medicine." There is no evidence to support this medication of children, period!

If we the People continue to allow these mad doctors and drug pushers to exploit our children's bodies like guinea pigs, and to turn them all into experimental medical subjects, then we are going to find ourselves at the receiving end of a global medical tyranny where children are required by law to be injected with more than 150 different vaccines and drugs before the age of two. We are going to witness a generation of healthy babies wiped out, decimated by a for-profit industry that has, at every opportunity, abandoned ethics and embraced greed. It is an industry so dangerous that it dwarfs the threat any terrorists might hold against the health and safety of you and your family.

A terrorist detonating a nuclear bomb in a major U.S. city could still not approach the number of casualties (and economic damage) that has been caused by the pharmaceutical industry in just the last five years.

That Big Pharma is now targeting our children for untested, medically unjustifiable pharmaceutical "treatments" is just one more example of the degree of profit-minded evil that has now taken possession of the industry, perhaps in much the same way that a human soul is sometimes possessed by an evil spirit as depicted in Hollywood movies like, "The Exorcist."

I'm not saying Big Pharma CEOs are literally possessed by demons. My own guess is that they're merely possessed by extreme greed combined with the complete abandonment of ethics, compassion and a sense of doing what's right for humankind. Beyond anesthetics and limited-use antibiotics, there is absolutely nothing the drug industry has produced in the last fifty years that didn't have a safer, more effective and far less expensive natural alternative.

We should be embracing the nutrition and natural medicine that can keep our children safe, and arresting and imprisoning the drug pushers who endanger our children's lives, don't you think?

There will be a time when this takes place. Be ready and be informed. Be prepared to take back your health freedom from an industry of greed and evil that has already made plans to profit from the disease and suffering of you, your children, your grandchildren and their grandchildren.

We must either declare this industry to be engaged in crimes against humanity or we will, undoubtedly, surrender the futures of our own children to a system of chemical enslavement that calculates the value of a human life only by the degree of sickness that can be exploited for shareholder profits.
