Research using polls and questionnaires continue to show that 3 of every 4 doctors and scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves due to its devastating effects on the entire body and the immune system, and because of its extremely low success rate. On top of that, only 2 to 4% of all cancers even respond to chemotherapy or prove to be "life extending," yet it is prescribed across the board for just about every kind of cancer.

Polls were taken by accomplished scientists at the McGill Cancer Center from 118 doctors who are all experts on cancer. They asked the doctors to imagine they had cancer and to choose from six different "experimental" therapies. These doctors not only denied chemo choices, but they said they wouldn't allow their family members to go through the process either! What does that say about their true opinion of this archaic method?

These surveys are having a profound effect on the general public opinion of chemo treatments in most of Western society, especially the United States, which uses more than any nation in the world. This lack of trust by doctors is spilling over to patients, and the move towards natural remedies is increasing, much the way it did in the early 1900's, before the dawn of corrupt medicine, pharmaceuticals, and radiation.

An elevated level of toxicity is actually the last thing any human being needs when fighting infection, disease, or pneumonia.
Auto-immune disorders are mainly caused when humans ingest chemicals from food, drinking water, vaccines contaminated with chemicals, artificial sweeteners and environmental pollution. Chemotherapy, like the popular Cis-platinum, fills the body with horrific toxins, and doctors and scientists know it, but because the FDA outlaws doctors from suggesting or prescribing vitamins, supplements, herbs and super-foods, chemical therapy is still "recommended."

The way to beat cancer is to detoxify your body and build up your host immune system, not break it down further by dousing one tumor or one organ with chemicals that pollute the entire system. Put it this way, if an elderly person had an injured toe and it needed a cold compress to help heal it, would you submerge the senior in a freezing pool of water repeatedly for days, and then wait for the toe to heal? Doctors know how absurd the ideology of chemotherapy really is, but when a society bases the bulk of its therapy on chronic care management, the doctors are silently coerced into suggesting it or finding another profession.

Chemotherapy shows very little success with common solid tumors that occur in the colon, lung and breasts, as documented over the past decade, yet somehow doctors still push "chemo" to attempt to stave off tumors and malignant growths in these areas of the body.

Could it be some extreme coincidence that although 75% of doctors would refuse chemotherapy for themselves and their family members, they still prescribe it for 75% of their patients? The costly price of chemo and the likelihood of Big Pharma "kickbacks" is screaming the answer "no."

At best, chemotherapy should be considered alternative treatment, but for over 70 years Allopathic medicine has warped the public perception of true medicine, so if you happen to get cancer and your doctor tells you what to do, you may want to ask him/her if they would do the same thing for themselves and their family members.

Everyone and every parent has the God-given Right to decide how best to care for their own health and that of their children. No government, no public official, and no healthcare “professional” has any authority to force us or our children to be the recipients of potentially dangerous drugs whether in the form of vaccines or a pill. The right to choose how to care for our and our families health is a right as basic as speech, religion or bearing arms. It should never be relinquished under any circumstances.

Vaccine Protocol

Information, both anecdotal and scientifically researched, is exploding demonstrating the dangers of taking any vaccine or drug, except in the case of an immediate emergency. The growing trend, even among mainstream healthcare professionals, is to opt out of the very vaccinations and drugs they are administering to the public. Notice the article in today’s newsletter telling how 75% of mainstream doctors decline to take chemotherapy, …because they know the inherent dangers involved.

After we published the form last week entitled, Physician's Warranty of Vaccine Safety , I decided to assemble another form entitled Notice of Vaccine and Drug Exemption , which was subsequently reviewed by one of our independent MD/ND consultants. This is for parents to have pre-filled out and signed to hand to their physician, healthcare worker, health administrator, or public official in the event that any attempt is made to coerce them into accepting vaccinations or drugs for their children. (Note: It can also be modified for their own personal notice of vaccine exemption.) This form should be then given to the physician along with the “Physician’s Warranty of Public Safety” in which they are accepting full liability for any harm done by the vaccines or drugs they all too cavalierly administer. Of course few if any would ever sign this document, but the intent is not an expectation they will sign it, but rather to put them on notice and to give them “sufficient lawful notice” about your position and rights concerning vaccines and drugs. (This document may be freely copied for use by anyone who believes in the truths expressed therein.)

Notice of Vaccine and Drug Exemption

_________________________ and ___________________________, natural persons and parents of ______________________________, hereby give this Notice of Vaccine and Drug Exemption to all whom it may concern, including, but not necessarily limited to, attending physicians, nurses, hospital workers, hospital administrators, and public officials.

Vaccinations for our child, ______________________________, will only be considered by us if the Physician's Warranty By Affidavit of Vaccine and/or Drug Safety is completely filled out and signed under oath by the attending physician. Regardless, the parents of this child reserve the God-given Right to refuse/decline and claim exemption from the use of any vaccine or drug for reasons of conscience specified herein this document, including, but not limited to, religious reasons, medical reasons, scientific reasons, as well as philosophical reasons.

            Vaccines as a rule are manufactured with one or more of the following fillers and/or preservatives which have been found to be questionable in their use and in many cases harmful to the health and life of the child:

* aluminum hydroxide

* aluminum phosphate

* ammonium sulfate

* amphotericin B

* animal tissues: pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain,

* dog kidney, monkey kidney,

* chicken embryo, chicken egg, duck egg

* calf (bovine) serum

* betapropiolactone

* fetal bovine serum

* formaldehyde

* formalin

* gelatin

* glycerol

* human diploid cells (originating from aborted baby tissue)

* hydrolized gelatin

* mercury thimerosol (thimerosal, Merthiolate(r))

* monosodium glutamate (MSG)

* neomycin

* neomycin sulfate

* phenol red indicator

* phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)

* potassium diphosphate

* potassium monophosphate

* polymyxin B

* polysorbate 20

* polysorbate 80

* porcine (pig) pancreatic hydrolysate of casein

* residual MRC5 proteins

* sorbitol

* tri(n) butylphosphate,

* VERO cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells, and

* washed sheep red blood

Many of these ingredients and often combinations of ingredients have not been proven to be safe for injection into the body of any child, …or any adult in many cases. In fact, there is a growing body of evidence showing that the vaccines themselves actually increase the risk of developing the illness which they are supposed to be preventing and vaccine components can result in other health damaging side effects such as immunological and neurological damage. Autism, which a short time ago was extremely rare, has exploded since the early 1990s when vaccination programs were greatly expanded.

Some vaccines have also been found to have been contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV 40) and that SV 40 is linked by some researchers to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and mesotheliomas in humans as well as in experimental animals. It has been exposed by researchers that many vaccines contain human baby/fetal tissue often harvested through abortions. The use of unborn babies through abortions to produce vaccinations or any other drugs is personally and philosophically abhorrent and religiously unacceptable to us.

We also reference the voluminous database of adverse vaccine reaction reports made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which is co-sponsored by the Centers For Disease Control and The Food and Drug Administration. The vast majority of this database has yet to be scientifically refuted. In fact, the vaccine and drug manufacturers rather than addressing the many concerns generally respond with silence. The scientific concerns about the use of vaccinations are becoming so vast as to cause many science and medical professionals to completely rethink the concept of vaccinations in general.

Many so-called clinical studies have been found to either be fabricated or conducted under questionable methods in order to obtain governmental agency approval. The revolving door of employment between government agencies and pharmaceutical companies and the profit motive demand creates a culture that is conducive to premature and/or inappropriate approval of questionable vaccines and drugs. Our only motive is the best possible health for our child.

Hepatitis B Facts (an example of the unwarranted vaccination of infants):

60 percent of patients vaccinated for Hepatitis B will lose detectable antibodies to Hepatitis B within 12 years; 50 percent of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no symptoms after exposure; 30 percent will develop only flu-like symptoms and will have lifetime immunity; only 20 percent will develop the symptoms of the disease, but 95 percent will fully recover and have lifetime natural immunity.

Also, 5 percent (1 in 20) of the patients who are exposed to Hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the disease; 75 percent (15 in 20) of the chronic carriers will live with an asymptomatic infection; 25 percent (5 in 20) of the chronic carriers will develop chronic liver disease or liver cancer 10-30 years after the acute infection.

Finally, in 1996 (early in the Hep B vaccination push) only 54 cases of Hepatitis B were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 year age group while in the VAERS database there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from Hepatitis B vaccines in the same age group resulting in 47 deaths reported. These facts in tandem with the plethora of other contaminates (as listed in part above) in vaccines are indicative of a risk simply not worth taking in the life of an infant.

Hence, Notice Is Given: The substantive law governing this Notice of Vaccine and Drug Exemption is the body of America Organic and Common Law established by The Declaration of Independence and thereafter secured by The Constitutions of The United States of America and The State of Texas. ___________________________________, as the natural person parents of ___________________________________, are making an informed decision concerning the acceptance or exemption from use of any vaccine or drug and reserve the God-given Right to decline the use of any potentially dangerous vaccine or drug whether recommended or demanded by physician, assistant, nurse, or hospital administrator.
 
We believe that the growing body of evidence, both anecdotal and clinical, is that the use of vaccines and drugs has overwhelmingly greater potential for harm to a child than choosing the more natural approach to child health care. This is not a blanket rejection of all medications, vaccines, or drugs in an emergency situation where they may be appropriate and even necessary. Therefore, we will make our decisions of exemptions on a case by case, vaccine by vaccine, medication by medication basis.

Any physicians, assistants, nurses, hospital employees, hospital administrators or public officials engaged in the forced vaccination or drugging of our child without our express written consent will be held liable in their natural person capacities as well as within any legal fiction entity, whether private or governmental, for whom they may be working, to the fullest extent of the available law, including the Organic and Common Law, Constitutional Law, Statutory Law, Civil Law, Uniform Commercial Codes, and any applicable international treaty.

 We are making an informed and calculated choice to be exempt from any mandatory use of any particular vaccine or drug in the healthcare of our daughter/son, __________________________. We believe that a Physician’s, as well as all healthcare workers, prime directive is to, “first do no harm” and this Notice of Vaccine and Drug Exemption (except in dire emergency) upholds and honors that directive. Therefore, we hold blameless any attending physicians, nurses, assistants, hospital administrators, and public officials for any adverse effects objectively proven to be the result of our claiming exemption from using any particular vaccine or drug in the healthcare of ________________________________.

Worse, less than half of those millions and millions of people were screened for a mental health disorder. In other words, doctors are giving out these drugs without taking the time to make a diagnosis. This violates one of the fundamentals of medicine: Diagnose before you prescribe.

This is unacceptable. Primary care doctors do not have mental health training. They don't understand the cause of emotional issues. They have no business giving out medication without any knowledge of the problem they are trying to solve. It is an insult to real mental health professionals who spend years studying the nature of mental and emotional life.

Do counselors offer to cut people open and remove internal organs? Do psychotherapists attempt to set broken bones? Likewise, family doctors should stay away from mental health issues. They simply don't know what to do and prescribing medications without any knowledge of the problem is the height of ignorance.

• Will take more than 10-15 minutes to listen to you.

• Understands the mind-body connection and how mental activity affects emotional life.

• Understands the impact of early life imprints and beliefs.

• Works with family dynamics and relationship issues.

• Advocates natural methods of healing.

Most of all, seek help from people who have been working on themselves. Mental health professionals who work on their own issues can speak from personal experience. There is no training or education that can substitute for this.

If your family doctor meets all of the above criteria, he or she is qualified to prescribe. Actually, if your doctor really is qualified, you may never need an anti-depressant!

Vaccine Protocol

In 2006, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP) was signed into law by the Bush Administration, giving the U.S. Government the power to declare a "national emergency" for any infectious disease they claim is spreading and therefore require mandatory vaccinations for the entire population of the United States. In other words, U.S. citizens can now be denied their constitutional right of choice and be force-vaccinated or face jail time for being a "threat to national security," all without trial, and without any legal representation.

Auschwitz, the largest German concentration camp of WWII, was the ideal "guinea pig" testing arena for dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines created by IG Farben (a very powerful cartel that consisted of German chemical and pharmaceutical companies such as BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst). Jewish prisoners of war would not be able to "sue" the government, so inhumane testing ensued. By vaccinating Jews, homosexuals, and anyone who denied the political views of the Nazi's (including children), Hitler was isolating his "master race" by sickening, weakening, or killing opposition, with a passive and silent terror campaign through vaccinations and nerve gas. (http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/economics/igfarben.html)

Nazi Germany wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was real, but people underestimated the movement as it rose up, and look what happened. Before and during the war, the Nazi's tested Jews the same way we test and breed animals (including the ones we eat) in the United States today. How are GMO (pesticide-laden) foods which cause cancer so different from pushing dangerous, chemical laden vaccines (like swine and flu shots) on humans? And how similar were the Nazi concentration camp conditions to the conditions we find many animals living in today – trapped in a horror story from birth to miserable death – also known as Concentrated (or Confined) Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)?

There is a war going on today for chemical-free food and water, and a war for personal liberties that allow citizens the right tohave GMO foods labeled, and to opt out of vaccinations. It's been only 70 years since World War II, and the mad scientists didn't just go away, they went to work for corporations and pharmaceutical companies that run the vaccine and food industries now. Their heirs are continuing the "tradition" of making money by any means, with complete disregard for human sanctity.

Right now in the USA, poisonous foods and vaccines cross over moral and ethical barriers regarding basic humanity and the welfare of mankind. The United States has become a testing arena for Big Pharma's dangerous vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Ingredients in vaccines include toxins and carcinogens known to cause adverse reactions that are severe and sometimes fatal.

• Most vaccines go virtually untested and success rates are based strictly on results from testing animals in a laboratory.

• Many vaccines contain thimerosal, a preservative made with methyl mercury, which is extremely toxic to the central nervous system.

• Many vaccines contain chemical adjuvants, like squalene, which cause inflammation of the central nervous system.

• Autism is a neurological disorder. Vaccine ingredients break down peptides in the body which regulate the CNS, severely disrupting specific high cognitive functions and processes all characteristic of autism.

• Rates of autism have doubled in past decade.

• More than 1 in every 100 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism, which is the highest rate of any population in all of history.

• H1N1 vaccine greatly enhanced health risks for elderly, children, and those with heart disease, breathing issues and diabetes.

• The main group of scientists who convinced the World Health Organization to declare the H1N1 a "pandemic" had financial ties to the drug companies that profited.

• Australia banned flu vaccines in children after reports of seizures, and Finland banned H1N1 vaccines after linking them to narcolepsy in children.

• Injecting genetically modified bacteria and viruses runs the risk of causing a cytokine storm in the body, which is an exaggerated immune system response to a highly pathogenic invader. When a cytokine storm occurs in the lungs, fluids and immune cells accumulate and eventually block off the airways, often resulting in death.

For most of modern mankind, medical experiments are envisioned as happening in a laboratory environment with use of rats and mice, but modern Western medicine has devolved into a money making scheme which outsmarts the general public and uses them as the mice. Therefore, in the way that Hitler's evil pharmaceutical regime "flew under the radar" of so many powerful countries, so has allopathic medicine today.

In the findings of a new study, published by the American Society for Microbiology, it was found that the new resistant MRSA was resistant to vancomycin, the last line of defense for hospital acquired infections. Researchers have found that there have only been twelve confirmed infections of the "super bug" CC5, however if it was to spread in a hospital environment, the consequences could be severe.

MRSA is the leading cause of hospital acquired infections. Vancomycin has been used to treat the more resistant infections as the bacteria has become resistant to other bactericidal drugs. However, the use of vancomycin has resulted in the resistant strain CC5, also known as VRSA. Vancomycin-resistant S. aureus differs to other strains of MRSA in that it is more adept at picking up resistance to antibacterial drugs.

CC5 differs in its approach to surviving the barrage of antibiotics present in hospitals. Whereas MRSA contains an antibiotic protein, VRSA does not, it can co-exist in mixed infections. In place of these bactericidal genes there is a cluster of genes that encode enterotoxins, proteins that attack the host and make conditions more favorable for mixed infections. In addition, CC5 has a mutation in a gene that gives it the ability to assimilate foreign DNA. The resulting conditions increase the possibility of the cross transfer of genes from other bacteria that have resistance to vancomycin. These genes are unique to the CC5 lineage of MRSA.

Researcher Jim Sliwa said "Mixed infections are breeding grounds for antibiotic resistance because they encourage the exchange of genes among very different kinds of organisms. In hospitals, pathogens are under continuous pressure from antibiotics to survive and evolve, and CC5 isolates appear to be very well adapted to succeed by acquiring new resistances. Frequent use of antibiotics in hospital patients could select for strains like CC5 that have an enhanced ability to co-exist with bacteria that provide genes for antibiotic resistance."

A problem caused by modern medicine's over-reliance on antibiotics
The over-use of antibiotics over the years has lead to increases in the number to resistant strains of bacteria. It seems to be the case that the more drugs we throw at these bacteria, the more inventive they become in finding ways to survive. The collective changes in a bacterial organism so that it can co-exist with other bacteria, create an environment that allows it to mix with other bacteria and exchange DNA with them to ensure survival, shows a rapid rate of evolution.

It is clear that a new approach is needed as the current practices are in the process of making bacteria more dangerous. The use of Copper surfaces, on which bacteria can not survive, has been proven to lower infection rates. The use of Silver in solution or in dressings reduces healing times and infection. Cleaner hospitals and effective hand washing by doctors, patients and visitors have also been shown to reduce infection rates.

These measures would reduce the number of infections that required antibiotics, slowing the evolution of the bacteria and allow us time to eradicate these bacteria from our hospitals.

The vaccinations were recommended to be of the nasal spray type, as this is considered much safer and effective than injections, and that all children from the ages of five to seventeen should be included. The vaccinations would need to start in 2014 to allow for the acquisition of stocks for the first wave.

The expert panel that recommended the implementation of the plan consisted of representatives of health groups, doctors and vaccine manufacturers. The proposal suggests that by immunizing all children it will prevent the infection of vulnerable family members such as pregnant women and grandparents.

Contradictory advice and instruction
Vaccinations are currently recommended for all vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, children with asthma, people over the age of 55 and for anyone with autoimmune disorders. Contrary to this advice it is advised that anyone who is ill or is pregnant should not have the flu shots due to the burden on the immune system. Some people also believe that it is possible to become ill after the vaccination with flu-like symptoms. Manufacturers and health officials say this is not possible as there is no live virus in the vaccine, however the side effects can be from a reaction to ingredients used during manufacture.

It is of no surprise that the advice of the industry that makes the vaccines is that we should buy more of them. However it is quite alarming that the advice for being vaccinated in this manner is so conflicting. By having a policy of vaccinating all children, there is no consultation with the patient as to their suitability for treatment or to gain parental consent. Also the question has to be raised as to why the nasal spray is safer, when the vaccine companies have always asserted that the vaccines were safe. Ingredients in the flu vaccine can be found http://www.healthscents4u.com/Pages/FluVaccineIngredients.aspx . Many contain ingredients such as formaldehyde, mercury, squalene and egg protein. Without consultation it is possible that allergies and adverse reactions will occur, and it will be a lottery as to whose children are affected. The results of vaccine trials state that up to 95 percent of subjects have no adverse reactions. In a program that vaccinates 10 million people, that means half a million will be made ill in ways more expensive to treat than seasonal flu.

I just read Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and I agree with my friend, magnesium expert, Morley Robbins who says that just about every chapter in Wheat Belly relates to magnesium deficiency. But the author, because of his myopic medical training, doesn't realize the connection. Morely feels that there is a biological change on the part of the eater that's fueling this allergic response, i.e., magnesium deficiency. And with the research on magnesium deficiency associated with pancreatic enzyme deficiency, we have another clue.

I've already said a lot about weight and its association with magnesium in my book, The Magnesium Miracle? Here are some high points.

1. Magnesium helps the body digest, absorb, and utilize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

2. Magnesium is necessary for insulin to open cell membranes for glucose.

3. Magnesium helps prevent obesity genes from expressing themselves.

THE WEIGHT CONNECTION
Magnesium and the B-complex vitamins are energy nutrients: they activate enzymes that control digestion, absorption, and the utilization of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Lack of these necessary energy nutrients causes improper utilization of food, leading to such far-ranging symptoms as hypoglycemia, anxiety, and obesity.

Food craving and overeating can be simply a desire to continue eating past fullness because the body is, in fact, craving nutrients that are missing from processed food. You continue to eat empty calories that pack on the pounds but get you no further ahead in your nutrient requirements.

Magnesium is also necessary in the chemical reaction that allows insulin to usher glucose into cells, where glucose is involved in making energy for the body. If there is not enough magnesium to do this job, both insulin and glucose become elevated. The excess glucose gets stored as fat and contributes to obesity. Having excess insulin puts you on the road toward diabetes.

The connection between stress and obesity cannot be overlooked. The stress chemical cortisol signals a metabolic shutdown that makes losing weight almost impossible. It's as if the body feels it is under an attack such that it must hoard all its resources, including fat stores, and won't let go of them under any inducement. Magnesium can effectively neutralize the effects of stress.

OBESITY, MORE THAN BAD GENES
The public has been told that obesity is inherited, which makes people think they don't have a hand in creating this problem and can continue their bad habits and blame their genes. Animal experiments show, however, that if a mouse with an obesity gene is deprived of B vitamins, the obesity will be expressed. But if it is fed plenty of B vitamins, it will remain thin. The process of metabolizing B vitamins is called methylation, and magnesium is necessary for one of the most important steps in this process.

Every metabolic function in the body requires vitamins and minerals – without them, symptoms develop. Therefore, the first step in treating nonspecific symptoms is diet and dietary supplements, not drugs. It is also important to note that many of the weight loss diets that people subject themselves to are often deficient in magnesium.

ABDOMINAL OBESITY
Gaining weight around your middle is related to magnesium deficiency and an inability to properly utilize insulin. It also sets the stage for Syndrome X. You only need a tape measure to diagnose a predisposition to Syndrome X – a waist size above 40 inches in men and above 35 in women puts you at risk. In their book The Magnesium Factor, authors Mildred Seelig, M.D., and Andrea Rosanoff, Ph.D., take note of research showing that over half the insulin in the bloodstream is directed at abdominal tissue. They theorize that as more and more insulin is produced to deal with a high-sugar diet, abdominal girth increases to process the extra insulin.

SYNDROME X
The term "syndrome X" describes a set of conditions that many believe is just another fancy name for the consequences of long-standing nutritional deficiency, especially magnesium deficiency. The long list includes high cholesterol and hypertension and obesity. It also encompasses elevated triglycerides and elevated uric acid. High triglycerides are usually found when cholesterol is elevated but most often when someone has a high-sugar diet, such as from drinking sodas daily and eating cakes and pastries.

High uric acid is due to incomplete breakdown of protein from lack of B vitamins and digestive enzymes. This complex collectively appears to be caused by disturbed insulin metabolism (initiated by magnesium deficiency), called insulin resistance, and eventually can lead to diabetes, angina, and heart attack. We also know that lack of magnesium sets the stage for a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes.

As previously noted, magnesium is required in the metabolic pathways that allow insulin to usher glucose into cells, where glucose participates in making energy for the body. If magnesium is deficient, the doorway into the cells does not open to glucose, resulting in the following cascade of events:

1. Glucose levels become elevated.
2. Glucose is stored as fat and leads to obesity.
3. Elevated glucose leads to diabetes.
4. Obesity puts a strain on the heart.
5.Excess glucose becomes attached to certain proteins (glycated), leading to kidney damage, neuropathy, blindness, and other diabetic complications.
6. Insulin-resistant cells don't allow magnesium into the cells.
7. Further magnesium deficiency leads to hypertension.
8. Magnesium deficiency leads to cholesterol buildup, and both these conditions are implicated in heart disease.

Syndrome X, according to Dr. Gerald Reaven, who coined the term, may be responsible for a large percentage of the heart and artery disease that occurs today. Unquestionably, magnesium deficiency is a major factor in the origins of each of its signs and symptoms, from elevated triglycerides and obesity to disturbed insulin metabolism.(1,2)

INSULIN RESISTANCE
Insulin's job is to open up sites on cell membranes to allow the influx of glucose, a cell's source of fuel. Cells that no longer respond to the advances of insulin and refuse the entry of glucose are called insulin-resistant. As a result, blood glucose levels rise and the body produces more and more insulin, to no avail. Glucose and insulin rampage throughout the body, causing tissue damage that results in overuse and wasting of magnesium, an increased risk of heart disease, and adult onset diabetes.

One of the major reasons the cells don't respond to insulin is lack of magnesium(3) Some studies show that chronic insulin resistance in patients with type II diabetes is associated with a reduction of magnesium; magnesium is necessary to allow glucose to enter cells.(4) Additional studies confirm that when insulin is released from the pancreas, magnesium in the cell normally responds and opens the cell to allow entry of glucose, but in the case of magnesium deficiency combined with insulin resistance the normal mechanisms just don't work.(5) However, the higher the levels of magnesium in the body, the greater the sensitivity of the cells to insulin and the possibility of reversing the problem.(6)

So, get your weight loss cure today. Start taking magnesium, soak in Epsom salts baths or spray it on your body and watch the weight drop off.

While you're doing that don't be surprised if you lose lots of other symptoms like : hypertension (cardiovascular disease, kidney and liver damage), peroxynitrite damage (migraine, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease, etc.), recurrent bacterial infection due to low levels of nitric oxide (NO) in the cavities (sinuses, vagina, middle ear, lungs, throat, etc.), fungal infections due to a depressed immune system, thiamine deactivation (low gastric acid, behavioral disorders, etc.), premenstrual syndrome, calcium imbalance (osteoporosis, hypertension, mood swings, etc.), tooth cavities, hearing loss, diabetes type II, cramps, muscle weakness, impotence (lack of NO), aggression (lack of NO), fibromas, potassium deficiency (arrhythmia, hypertension, some forms of cancer), iron accumulation, etc.(7)

About the author:
Dr. Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor and naturopathic doctor. She has been in the forefront of the natural medicine revolution for over 30 years.

The fact is that up to 20% of American school-aged children are now on behavioral medications, according to child neurologist, Fred Baughman, Jr. MD. Parents are told to place their children on poisonous medications or their child will be refused attendance at school and have even been threatened with charges of "medical neglect."

But ADD and ADHD are not medical conditions. There is no X-ray, brain scan, blood test, or any other medical test that a doctor can look at and say "yep, that's ADHD alright. Just look at this X-ray. ADHD, right there, plain as the nose on my face." The fact is that ADD/ADHD are neurodevelopmental disorders and not medical or psychological disorders. But with just 5 minutes at the right doctor's office a parent can walk out with a deadly schedule I or II pharmaceutical prescription and a permanent medical record of ADD/ADHD diagnosis for their child.

What you get for drugging your child
* According to the USA Today and the New York Times, ADD/ADHD medications initially raise math test scores of a child with ADD/ADHD by less than 3 points after 1 year.

* After three years on ADD/ADHD medications, the child is academically back to where they would have been if the child was never put on drugs in the first place.

* USA Today, April 2009: After three years on an ADD/ADHD medication the dosage has been raised an average of 41% because the body builds tolerance to and "tunes down" the effects.

* After three years on ADD/ADHD medications the child is on average 0.79 inches shorter and 6 lbs lighter than children with no medications.

* Children and teens taking ADHD stimulant medications are seven times more likely to die suddenly than their peers.

* A child that has been on ADD/ADHD medications is impacted permanently on career choices and can be outright disqualified for opportunities such as a commercial airline pilot, certain law enforcement positions, and may be disqualified from military service and military officer eligibility.

ADD/ADHD medications work by causing malfunction in the brain. When used long term these medications physically alter the brain, causing brain atrophy and gross malfunctions in the brain of the child.

ADD/ADHD: a disorder of the brain
The causes of ADD/ADHD as a spectrum disorder lie in incomplete developmental levels, brain disorganization, under-developed sequential processing skills, brain maturation abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, allergenic responses, sub-clinical health issues, or other bio-medical issues. It is a criminal act against the health and safety of a child to classify any of these causes as a "spectrum disorder" for the purpose of categorically medicating them to sweep the symptoms under the carpet.

ADD/ADHD is a "disorder of the brain." A disorder by definition is a condition where the normal order of things is disrupted. Drugs do not cause order; they only cause more disorder. It takes order to overcome disorder. In other words, you cannot expect organized function from a disorganized brain, no more than a tornado can assemble a working school bus by running through a salvage yard.

It's high time to take this disorder out of the hands of the medical specialists, who have not only outright failed to treat this non-medical condition but have caused much harm to our children. Let's place it in the rightful hands of developmental specialists and nutritionists. But keep in mind that raising healthy children is ultimately the responsibility of the parents and not the professionals.

• Statins – Despite being popular enough to rake in around 25 billion dollars in annual sales, statins have actually been linked to over 300 different adverse affects in peer-reviewed research, including cancer and liver damage. This ultimately led the FDA to institute new warning labels that alert consumers to the dangers of statin drugs, but only for two conditions.

• Not only shown to be ineffective, antipsychotics have been linked to suicide, diabetes, weight gain, decreased life expectancy, and triggering an array of metabolic conditions.

• Medications such as Ambien, which is prescribed for insomnia, was deemed a top drug causing memory loss related side-effects. In addition, sleeping pills have also been shown to make way for an increased risk of cancer and premature death. With about 41 percent of adults diagnosed with insomnia turning to prescription drugs, and at least 300,000 children being prescribed sleep aid, it is imperative to pass along this information.
