<p>A health alert to all of my loved ones and anyone else who will read. In addition to High Fructose corn syrup<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/26/AR2009012601831.html" target="_blank"> containing mercury</a> as well as <a href="http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Safety/chemical/high_fructose_corn_syrup_vs_sugar_2703101134.html" target="_blank">retaining body fat</a> versus sugar consumption, its just been discovered that high fructose corn syrup <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idAFN0210830520100802" target="_blank">feeds cancer cells</a>. Yet another reason to stay away from sodas and all foods containing High Fructose Corn Syrup. From the Reuters article:</p>
<blockquote><p>They grew pancreatic cancer cells in lab dishes and fed them both glucose and fructose.</p>
<p>Tumor cells thrive on sugar but they used the fructose to proliferate. &#8220;Importantly, fructose and glucose metabolism are quite different,&#8221; Heaney&#8217;s team wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>Shop organic and avoid this poison!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the University of Colorado, Boulder&#8211; its becoming a tradition of sorts, to have a 420 Blaze on the campus of the college. Last Year&#8217;s attendance of the University&#8217;s 420 celebration was over 10,000 people!!! You just have to see the video to fully appreciate the event. At certain points in the video its so hazy in the crowd that it looks like the people are in a forest fire.</p>

<p>It looks like a great great time&#8230; and surprisingly, the police are present for the event but instead of beating and teargassing the party goers, they do what all cool cops should do and let the fun loving, peaceful people enjoy &#8220;the outdoors&#8221;.</p>

<p>Oh the many uses and even more joyful side effects of the wonder chemical/bio weapon known as Aspartame! Lets review the tumultuous history of this chemical concoction&#8230;</p>
<p><em>DECEMBER 1965</em><em><br />
</em><em>While working on an ulcer drug, a chemist at pharmaceutical manufacturer GD Searle accidentally discovers aspartame, a substance that is 180 times sweeter than sugar, yet has no calories.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>AUTUMN 1967</em><em><br />
</em><em>GD Searle approaches eminent biochemist Dr Harry Waisman, director of the University of Wisconsin&#8217;s Joseph P Kennedy Jr Memorial Laboratory of Mental Retardation Research and a respected expert in the toxicity of phenylalanine (which comprises 50 per cent of the aspartame formula), to conduct a study of the effects of aspartame on primates. Of seven monkeys fed aspartame mixed with milk, one dies and five others have grand mal epileptic seizures.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>SPRING 1971</em><em><br />
</em><em>Dr John Olney, professor of neuropathology and psychiatry at Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine, whose research into the neurotoxic food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG, a chemical cousin of aspartame) was responsible for having it removed from baby foods, informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid, one of the main constituents of aspartame, causes holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle&#8217;s researchers, Ann Reynolds, confirms Olney&#8217;s findings in a similar study.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>8 MARCH 1977</em><em><br />
</em><em>Searle hires prominent Washington insider Donald Rumsfeld as its new CEO to try to turn the beleaguered company around. A former member of Congress and defence secretary in the Ford administration, Rumsfeld brings several of his Washington colleagues in as top management.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>JANUARY 1981</em><em><br />
</em><em>Rumsfeld states in a Searle sales meeting that he is going to make a big push to get aspartame approved within the year. Rumsfeld vows to &#8216;call in his markers&#8217; and use political rather than scientific means to get the FDA on side.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>21 JANUARY 1981</em><em><br />
</em><em>One day after Reagan&#8217;s inauguration, Searle re-applies to the FDA for approval to use aspartame as a food sweetener.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>AUTUMN 1983</em><em><br />
</em><em>The first carbonated beverages containing aspartame go on sale in the US.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>1 OCTOBER 1985</em><em><br />
</em><em>Monsanto, the producer of recombinant bovine growth hormone, genetically engineered soya beans, the pesticide Roundup and many other industrial and agricultural chemicals, purchases Searle for $2.7 billion.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>1989</em><em><br />
</em><em>The FDA has received more than 4,000 complaints from consumers about adverse reactions to the sweetener.</em><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>19 APRIL 1993</em><em><br />
</em><em>The FDA approves aspartame for use in hard and soft candies, non-alcoholic flavoured beverages, tea beverages, fruit juices and concentrates, baked goods and baking mixes, and frostings, toppings and fillings for baked goods.</em></p>
<p>You can read the whole excellent article <a href="http://www.wnho.net/the_ecologist_aspartame_report.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. So as you can see, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5P6MLiKEJI">good ole Rummy</a>, in addition to being one of the worst secretary&#8217;s of Defense ever to hold the office, was also instrumental in getting Aspartame approved! Hey, there may be more to this Illuminati thing after all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-578" title="pandemic" src="http://tps-report.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/pandemic.jpg" alt="pandemic" width="450" height="316" /></p>
<p>Once again the American corporate controlled media fails to report important world news (for example, this is the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/03/07/economy.investment.fears/index.html" target="_blank">front page article</a> from CNN.com at the time of this post). What happened this time? Only a potential worldwide<a href="http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/avian_influenza/en/" target="_blank"> avian bird flu</a> pandemic that could have infected and killed millions of people worldwide!</p>
<p>Thankfully, catastrophe was narrowly averted by a subcontractor who ran a series of last minute tests on a batch of &#8220;flu vaccines&#8221; from an Austrian plant owned by <a href="http://www.baxter.com/" target="_blank">Baxter Pharmaceutical</a> which was scheduled to ship to three other countries.  From the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5iV_RT6oBK3tOhtsWf5pnu5OIby9w" target="_blank">AP article</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.</p>
<p>Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could have resulted in dire consequences.</p>
<p>While H5N1 doesn&#8217;t easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.</p></blockquote>
<p>So basically, the H5N1 Avian bird flu virus, which is THE most deadly and pathogenic strain of the bird flu (according to <a href="http://www.who.int/csr/don/2006_06_30/en/index.html" target="_blank">WHO</a>, it has a 50-70% fatality rate when contracted by humans) was somehow &#8220;accidentally&#8221; mixed with the common flu virus (which is very easy to transfer from human to human). This &#8220;virus cocktail&#8221; which could have easily mutated into a super lethal, easily transmittable world wide killer, would&#8217;ve been unleashed on unsuspecting recipients and caused untold damage.</p>
<p>There are &#8220;suspect&#8221; actions that are associated with the delivery of this batch of &#8220;flu vaccines&#8221;. Primarily, the contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses were labeled appropriately, but the H5N1 viruses were not labeled at all. How could this happen? What is the explanation behind this potentially disastrous mistake?  According to <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/3/6/113846/1850/422/705378" target="_blank">Daily Kos</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Yes, Baxter is in the midst of finalizing it&#8217;s own version of a bird flu vaccine. Here&#8217;s a recent clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.</p>
<p>So just in summary: Here you have a company finalizing a license on a bird flu vaccine that &#8216;accidentally&#8217; ships out the exact formula in it&#8217;s vaccines for creating a potential bird flu pandemic. A flu that would have at least a 60% kill rate among humans.</p></blockquote>
<p>So a pharmaceutical company releases a super contagious strain of the most deadly form of avian bird flu on the unsuspecting public and then swoops in to save the day with the exact vaccine to stop any further infection? Sounds like a plot line for the next Resident Evil game&#8230;</p>
<p>So, you would think that some heads would roll after this incident right? Someone is losing their job if not sanctions, fines and possible prosecution right (quote from daily Kos below)?</p>
<blockquote><p>And according to this <a href="http://www.lifegen.de/newsip/shownews.php4?getnews=2009-03-02-2412&amp;pc=s01" target="_blank">interview with a spokesperson at Baxter</a>, all procedures were followed correctly and no one is losing their job. Well, it&#8217;s good to know everything&#8217;s just fine.</p></blockquote>
<p>I just want to personally thank the subcontractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. I owe you a beer.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Silver" target="_blank">Josh Silver</a>, a retired physics professor from Oxford University, has a quest to allow all the poor people in the world to see. In one of the most ingenious inventions ever devised, he created a pair of glasses that the wearer could &#8220;tune&#8221; to allow themselves to see without the aid of an optometrist. From the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>Silver has devised a pair of glasses which rely on the principle that the fatter a lens the more powerful it becomes. Inside the device&#8217;s tough plastic lenses are two clear circular sacs filled with fluid, each of which is connected to a small syringe attached to either arm of the spectacles.</p>
<p>The wearer adjusts a dial on the syringe to add or reduce amount of fluid in the membrane, thus changing the power of the lens. When the wearer is happy with the strength of each lens the membrane is sealed by twisting a small screw, and the syringes removed. The principle is so simple, the team has discovered, that with very little guidance people are perfectly capable of creating glasses to their own prescription.</p></blockquote>
<p>The glasses cost $1 USD to manufacture. The goal is to produce 1 million pairs to distribute throughout the third world every year. What a simple and elegant solution to a widespread condition throughout the world. This has the potential to be a world changing invention much like the automobile or airplane.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://tps-report.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/painkillers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-464" title="painkillers" src="http://tps-report.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/painkillers-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/Index.html" target="_blank">Naturalnews.com</a>&#8211; the Florida Medical Examiners Commission posted the numbers from 2007.</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2007, cocaine was responsible for 843 deaths, heroin for 121, methamphetamines for 25 and <strong>marijuana for zero</strong>, for a total of 989 deaths. In contrast, 2,328 people were killed by opioid painkillers, including Vicodin and Oxycontin, and 743 were killed by drugs containing benzodiazepine, including the depressants Valium and Xanax.</p>
<p>Alcohol directly caused 466 deaths, but was found in the bodies of 4,179 cadavers in all.</p></blockquote>
<p>So it seems that the new epidemic is having corporate pharmaceutical companies push drugs &#8220;legally&#8221; as opposed to the individual pushing drugs &#8220;illicitly&#8221;? This is also evidently a problem in <a href="http://www.dailyyonder.com/death-prescription-rural-america" target="_blank">rural america</a> as well.</p>
<p>The article goes on to state:</p>
<p><span id="more-463"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Florida pays careful attention to drug-related deaths, and as such has significantly better data on the problem than any other state. But a recent study conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) suggests that the problem is indeed national. According to the DEA, the number of people abusing prescription drugs in the United States has jumped 80 percent in six years to seven million, or more than those abusing cocaine, Ecstasy, heroin, hallucinogens an inhalants put together.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, there has been a corresponding increase in deaths. According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, the number of emergency room visits related to painkillers has increased by 153 percent since 1995. And a 2007 report by the Justice Department National Intelligence Drug Center found that deaths related to the opioid methadone jumped from 786 in 1999 to 3,849 in 2004 &#8211; an increase of 390 percent.</p></blockquote>
<p>The stigma attached to a productive member of society that takes &#8220;non corporate/government approved&#8221; drugs versus the acceptance of the same productive member &#8220;going through the proper channels&#8221; to aquire &#8220;legal&#8221; drugs is a farce. Just another tangible sign that this world is run by clinically insane people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this interesting article about a nutritionist that gives seminars and uses a McDonalds hamburger she purchased in 1996 to demonstrate the effects of preservatives in fast food. With the exception of a few crumbs that are eroding from the ancient petrified bun, the 1996 burger looks just like a fresh burger purchased the same day from McDonalds.</p>
