(NaturalNews) Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, author and expert on "excitotoxins," has issued a public challenge to vaccine pushers everywhere to put their money where their mouths are. During a recent interview with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, about the fraudulent science of the vaccine industry, Dr. Blaylock challenged Dr. Paul Offit, vaccine manufacturer CEOs, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientists, and others who insist today's childhood vaccine regimens are safe to publicly receive these same regimens themselves.

(NaturalNews) There are many factors that affect weight loss, making the process more complicated than it may seem. The body produces different hormones in response to different types of foods and/or drinks. Losing weight is not only about calorie consumption but also about the types of foods and drinks consumed. Alcohol is one of the worst culprits when it comes to inhibiting weight loss because it disrupts the delicate balance of nutrition, fluid and hormones needed to lose fat.

A recent California law, Family Code 6926, allows minors 12 or older to consent to medical care for the prevention of “infectious, contagious or communicable disease” if one that is required by law to be reported to the local health officer, or is a related sexually transmitted disease.”[1] In California, children as young as 12 can get a vaccine, virtually any vaccine—a medical treatment that can permanently injure or kill them—without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Disturbingly, North Carolina has an even broader law: “Any minor may give effective consent . . . for medical health services for the prevention . . . of venereal disease and other [reportable] diseases…”[2] I call these laws “Stealth Vaccine Laws,” because they provide for the administration of vaccines without using the word “vaccine” or “immunization.”

Vaccine Protocol

There are serious legal and moral problems with stealth vaccine laws. (See this formal Legal Memorandum analyzing the 8 legal violations in the NC law, and look for one at this same website addressing the CA law soon!) First, they violate parents’ fundamental Constitutional rights. The Court has stated: “Most children, even in adolescence, simply are not able to make sound judgments concerning many decisions, including their need for medical care or treatment. Parents can and must make those judgments.”[3] Under the 14^th Amendment’s due process clause, parents are deemed to be fit absent a showing that they are unfit—not unlike the “innocent until proven guilty” concept—so if a state gives away parental authority, it is deeming parents to be unfit for the authority given away, in violation of their Constitutional rights.[4] As a practical matter, there must be an emergency, a significant harm or risk of harm before someone may make decisions on behalf of a child without the parent’s consent, and even then, the person doing so must be another qualified adult, and not the child him or herself.

Proponents of these child consent laws argue that some children need the ability to consent to medical care, children whose parents abuse them or who won’t give them take proper care. But there are other laws in place to help children in these situations already. Doctors can already treat children in emergencies without parental consent. Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies can take custody of abused children immediately and authorize any necessary medical care. In non-emergency situations where parents are suspected of being unfit, their fitness can be challenged in court and their parental authority given to other persons or agencies that are capable of exercising proper care of the children when necessary. If current laws are letting some children slip through the cracks, then by all means let’s take steps to fix the problem, but enacting laws that violate the Constitutional rights of all parents is not a proper solution. It is, however, a convenient way for doctors and the pharmaceutical industry to bypass parental authority to administer vaccines and other therapies directly to children, to the financial benefit of that industry. And while parents may not all be able to afford payment for medical services, child consent laws ensure payment every time—from the state—the tax revenue from other parents and citizens.

There is a second, narrower Constitutional issue. For legal purposes, a child’s religious beliefs are deemed to be that of the parents. So, a law that would allow a child to consent to an immunization would violate parents’ First Amendment “free exercise” of religion rights in any state that offers a vaccine religious exemption (every state except MS and WV). These child consent laws also conflict with parents’ right to exercise a state philosophical exemption in states that have this such as California.

Finally, child consent laws also fail the common sense test. Children, by definition, lack capacity—the judgment and maturity—to make important decisions for themselves. For this reason, they can’t enter into binding legal contracts, can’t join the armed services, can’t smoke or drink, and don’t even own their possessions (technically, their parents do), unless they go through a judicial process in which they are judged to have adult maturity on a case-by-case basis. So, giving children authority for medical decision-making simply doesn’t make sense. Child medical consent laws put decision-making authority in the hands of those not able to responsibly exercising it by taking it away from the parents who can. This is irrational, a step that could make sense only from the viewpoint of those who stand to profit from it.

Folks, unless each one of us becomes legislatively active, more laws providing for the administration of vaccines and other unnecessary medical treatments will be enacted, because it is profitable for doctors and the pharmaceutical industry to do so. Health rights are not stagnant. We either act proactively to expand them, or we will be passively allowing them to diminish until they disappear completely. There is no safe middle ground! Join the http://nvicadvocacy.org/members/Home.aspx NVIC Advocacy Portal and the http://pandemicresponseproject.com/index.html Pandemic Response Project to stay informed and be active in vaccine legislative issues. In the meantime, go to your state legislature’s website to see if there are any stealth vaccine bills or laws in your state. If there are, contact your state representatives with your objections, and alert others to do the same. If you live in CA, NC or any other state that has such a law, contact me to discuss how we can work together to change it! Meanwhile, I’m available to assist with other vaccine exemption and legislative issues around the U.S.

It is well-established that 25-30% of all cancer are caused soley by tobacco consumption – a completely avoidable cause.

Immune Booster Protocol

In 1998, major tobacco industries’ internal secret documents were made available online by the Master Settlement Agreement, revealing that the industry was aware of the presence of a radioactive substance in tobacco as early as 1959.

It was discovered in 1964 that the cancer-causing radioactive substance was Polonium 210, which millions still inhale in their cigarette smoke, unwittingly. Polonium 210 is a byproduct of the decay of uranium daughter isotopes, which, while occurring naturally in the environment, are primarily found within our soil as a result of pollution from various industries. Uranium mining is one source, as are the nuclear and coal-fired power industries. In fact, “fly ash” produced from coal-fired power carries 100 times more radiation into the surrounding environment than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy.1 This is, of course, when nuclear power plants properly contain their radioactive fuel and waste and don't release massive, irretrievable quantities of radioisotopes into the environment, as occurred in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Nuclear weapons and munitions (depleted uranium), are another well-known source of global contamination.  No matter where the uranium comes from, tobacco plants selectively absorbs and concentrates the byproduct of its decay, Polonium 210, to dangerous — if not lethal — levels. The relatively high levels found within tobacco are rather consistent over time and geographical area.2

A recent review published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research summarized this disturbing fact of history as follows:
 
“…[T]he industry was not only cognizant of the potential "cancerous growth" in the lungs of regular smokers but also did quantitative radiobiological calculations to estimate the long-term (25 years) lung radiation absorption dose (rad) of ionizing alpha particles emitted from the cigarette smoke. Our own calculations of lung rad of alpha particles match closely the rad estimated by the industry. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the industry's and our estimate of long-term lung rad of alpha particles causes 120-138 lung cancer deaths per year per 1,000 regular smokers.
 
These findings indicate that the tobacco industry’s relationship to their consumer base was (and still is) homicidal, in the worst, premeditated sense of the word. Moreover, the industry actually knew how to mitigate the problem, but realized it would interfere with the addictive power of their product (and therefore profitability) to do so:
 
"Acid wash was discovered in 1980 to be highly effectively in removing (210)Po from the tobacco leaves; however, the industry avoided its use for concerns that acid media would ionize nicotine converting it into a poorly absorbable form into the brain of smokers thus depriving them of the much sought after instant "nicotine kick" sensation.”
 
Polonium 210 is extraordinarily toxic when ingested or inhaled. In fact, it is 4500 times more toxic than radium 226  — a startling fact considering that during the Manhattan Project (1944), the "tolerance dose" for workers was set at 0.1 microgram of ingested radium. When incorporated into the body, radioisotopes like  Polonium 210 emit alpha particles, which are the radiobiological equivalent of howitzers on a cellular level, profoundly damaging, mutating and destroying DNA, as well as causing other forms of irreparable damage to the cell. Because of the fact that the dominant radiation risk model does not acknowledge the profoundly detrimental effects of low-dose, internalized radioisotope exposure (largely because it was developed before the discovery of DNA in the early 50’s and was based on external exposures to the type of gamma-radiation associated with atomic bomb blast), the true dangers associated with Polonium 210 have been largely concealed or discounted.
 
According to a review published in the journal Health Physics in 2010, smoking tobacco has resulted in “443,000 deaths and 5.1 million years of potential life lost among the U.S. population each year from 2000 through 2004.” Furthermore, the review estimated that the associated collective radiation dose from smoking is “more than 36 times that to the workers at all the U.S. nuclear power plants, U.S. Department of Energy nuclear weapons facilities, and crews of all the vessels in the U.S. Nuclear Navy.” It is no surprise then that it has been suggested that tobacco products should carry a radiation-exposure warning label.3
 
If we calculate the death toll associated with tobacco use from 1997 to present (2012) at an estimated 443K fatalities a year, we arrive at a figure of over six million dead — the same estimate of how many Jews died in the Holocaust during World War II.  How many millions more will die from radiation-induced cancer, and related diseases, as a consequence of their uninformed tobacco use?

(NaturalNews) New diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease cases continue to mount at an unprecedented rate, threatening both the lives of those suffering from this dreaded illness and the health care system itself, as billions are spent to care for the millions suffering from this lifestyle-mediated disease. New hope is now offered by scientists from the University of California publishing in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, as they have identified the specific intracellular mechanism regulated by vitamin D3 that may help the body clear the brain of amyloid beta.

ACSH is a Front Organization for the Drug Industry

          So where does this noble man, Josh Bloom, come from, to offer up to us his wisdom about the “dangers” of supplements?  Well, Wikipedia notes that as of 1996, 75% of the American Council on Science and Health’s funding came from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries!  Curiously enough, the organization no longer publishes their funding sources and they claim that less than 50% of their funding comes from those sources now, but even if that is true, ACSH’s funding from the drug industry is substantial and leads anyone with a room-temperature I.Q. or better to question their motives in attacking supplements, which are, after all, growing competition for the pharmaceutical industry, which sees its carefully constructed monopoly over health under attack.

          After all, the drug industry spends $6 million per day lobbying Congress and agencies just like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to maintain the drug-industry monopoly over health and healthcare.  Josh Bloom may attempt to casually insult the supplement industry with his smear that it is a “mega-billion-dollar industry,” but the supplement industry is a puny lightweight compared to Big Pharma with easily a half-a-trillion in revenues every year (see revenue chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_industry).

Drugs are Dangerous

          Dr. Andrew Saul, a doctor actually concerned with optimal health, has pointed out that, even when properly prescribed and taken as directed, legal drugs kill some 106,000 Americans each and every year. At over 2,000 deaths each week (and some doctors estimate the toll to be much higher), that is quite a death rate. (See L.L. Leape, “Error in Medicine,” Journal of the American Medical Association, 1994, 272:23 at 1851; L.L. Leape, “Institute of Medicine Medical Error Figures are not Exaggerated,” JAMA, 2000 Jul, 5;284(1):95–97.)

          The number of serious adverse drug events reported to the FDA between 1998 and 2005 more than doubled to 467,809, according to a report in the Sept. 10th issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. Thomas J. Moore and his colleagues (at the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania) analyzed serious adverse drug events reported to the FDA and found in addition to the number of reported AERS, the number of fatal adverse drug events increased from 5,519 to 15,107 in the same time frame, a 2.7-fold increase. “The overall relative increase was four times faster than the growth in total U.S. outpatient prescriptions, which grew in the same period from 2.7 billion to 3.8 billion.”  Drugs are indeed serious concerns; and, clearly, supplements and drugs are not even in the same class.  Nor should they be treated in the same way either.

Supplements are Safe

          As I have been writing and saying for years, dietary supplements are exceptionally safe. Statistically, a person is more likely to die from a bee sting or a lightning strike than he or she is from taking dietary supplements.

          Dr. Andrew Saul confirmed this viewpoint when he wrote, “The 2003 Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers Toxic Exposures Surveillance System states that there have been only two deaths allegedly caused by vitamins. (See American Journal of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 22, No. 5, September 2004; www.aapcc.org/dnn/NPDSPoisonData/NPDSAnnualReports.aspx.) Almost half of all Americans take nutritional supplements every day, some 145,000,000 individual doses daily, for a total of over 53 billion doses annually. And from that, two alleged deaths? That is a product safety record without equal.” More recent figures simply confirm this safety record for supplements.

Don’t Listen to the Vested Interests

          Mr. Bloom’s hit piece is pure trash and typical of the kind of scurrilous attack that the drug industry launches in the mainstream media all the time.  That his hit piece appeared in a freedom-loving publication such as The American Spectator is nothing short of baffling.  Calling for more regulation of an already over-regulated supplement industry, Mr. Bloom’s approach is both anti-freedom and makes no sense.  Should the supplement industry really be elevated to, say, the level of careful regulation that lets the drug industry get away with marketing products leading to the deaths of more than 100,000 Americans every year!  Or should supplements be as tightly regulated as the financial industry?  We all know now what a disaster that was when the most-heavily regulated business in America crashed and burned a few years ago amidst incredible corruption and fraud.

          No, Mr. Bloom, please go back to your Masters and tell them that they should actually fight fair in a free-market economy.  Let supplements finally be able to make truthful claims about their many health and preventative benefits.  Are they drugs?  Actually, the science shows that many of them can safely and with no side effects replace the dangerous and deadly drugs that Mr. Bloom’s Masters would restrict us to.  This is what the drug industry is afraid of and this is exactly why they pummel you with pure propaganda every chance that they get.  All I can say to you – to repeat a famous 1984 film line – is, “If you want to live, come with me.”

(NaturalNews) Though typically referred to as a single condition characterized by chronic joint pain, arthritis is actually a collective grouping of more than 100 different diseases involving joint inflammation for which many conventional doctors simply prescribe pain drugs as a one-size-fits-all solution. But rather than resort to a lifetime of taking chemical toxins that fail to address the root causes of arthritis, why not try some natural, herbal alternatives that have been proven to provide lasting benefits without causing negative side effects?
