BPA levels in humans far higher than previously thought

(NaturalNews) New studies reveal that levels of BPA are massively higher in humans than previously assumed , causing major concern for what has been downplayed by the packaging industry as a false alarm. BPA, or Bisphenol-A, leaches into food from plastic packaging and from the linings of canned foods, causing cancerous tumors and developmental disorders, including learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and deformations of sexual organs, especially in newborns. The CDC estimates that over 90% of people in the U.S. are chronically exposed to BPA at over 3000 times the daily level that the FDA reports. Maybe this monstrous difference comes from the fact that the FDA standards ignored more than 100 credible research experiments and studies other than their own . The new FDA regulatory language offers to seek “further public comment and external input on the science surrounding BPA,” but industry lobbyists argue about “safe levels” and do their best to muddy those waters in order to keep the profits margins maximized. Much of the latest research and testing of chemicals in foods is being conducted by the very companies that sell them, or by independent labs hired and well paid to conclude that there is “insufficient evidence of levels harmful to humans.” The FDA and the CDC use the rationale that what kills rats in labs may not have the same effect on humans , but this time, hundreds of tests done on humans reveal otherwise . The BPA label is either on the side or bottom of bottles in black or clear numbers, usually inside of the recycling sign formed by circular arrows. The number 2 means your food is contaminated by aluminum and polyethylene plastic, and the number 7 means there is BPA in your polycarbonate container . To make things worse, if the bottles or cans have been sitting on the shelf at the grocery for months, the toxic levels of BPA are higher, and since there’s no “born-on date,” like beer might have, there’s no telling the age of the container. Also, if the plastic gets heated up, like in a car, more toxins are released into the drink. Plus, canned goods are sterilized at up to 265% Fahrenheit, so the level of BPA released in those foods is horrendous, not to mention the fact that all of the nutrients at that temperature have been depleted from the source. Metal cans have no warning or indicator whatsoever about BPA. The remedy is to simply buy glass only and not have to worry about BPA, but then don’t forget to check for sodium benzoate, BHA, BHT, EDTA, and the other “preservative” criminals. BPA was originally developed in the 1930′s as a synthetic version of the female hormone estrogen. BPA is an endocrine disrupter, meaning it is a chemical that interferes with the hormone system in animals, including humans . Wondering why kids are more hyperactive these days and the doctors suggest prescribing ADHD pharmaceuticals? Bisphenol-A mimics estrogenic activity and enhances mesolimbic dopamine activity, which results in hyperactivity and attention deficits. Still have canned sodas on your grocery list? Ordered up by the USA at 8 billion pounds per year, BPA is one of the highest volume chemicals produced by mankind , having adverse effects in mammals and invertebrates all over the world. Canned goods sell particularly well in times of recession and financial stress. In February of 2009, the United States saw an 11.5% rise in canned food sales alone. The highest concentrations recorded are in chicken soup, infant formula and ravioli . By the way, it’s also in your dental fillings. The EPA has not even evaluated BPA for possible carcinogenic activity, and food packaging executives and lobbyists are still planning to use a pregnant woman in their advertising in order to reassure Americans that BPA is safe for children. Remember, an advertisement’s slogan is often a cover up for the product’s greatest weakness.

Institute of Medicine adverse reactions report admits MMR vaccines cause measles, seizures, anaphylaxis and other health problems
August 28, 2011 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) The Institute of Medicine, which has long functioned as a front group for the pharmaceutical industry and receives tens of millions of dollars in annual funding from drug companies and global elitists (like Bill Gates, Ted Turner, etc.), has issued a report that declares the MMR vaccine is not linked to autism. This is now being widely reported in the conventional (controlled) media, which isn’t telling you the real story behind this report. What’s the real story? That this IOM report, even though it goes out of its way to excuse vaccines and dismiss safety concerns, still openly admits that vaccines cause measles, febrile seizures, anaphylactic shock and other potentially fatal side effects . It also admits that other vaccines are linked to a whole host of bizarre side effects, including skin lesions, difficulty breathing and live virus infections (see complete list, below). Furthermore, the conclusion that “vaccines do not cause autism” is erroneous, as the IOM did not interview even a single parent of an autistic child and did not conduct a medical review of any autistic children whatsoever. Instead, the IOM claims to have reviewed thousands of vaccine papers published in conventional medical journals — yes, the very same medical journals that are practically run by pharmaceutical interests and have been caught publishing “scientific” articles that were really fraudulently ghostwritten by drug company hacks. (http://www.naturalnews.com/029160_medical_journals_ghostwriters.html) In layman’s terms, this is what’s known as a “scientific circle jerk” where one group of bought-off scientists quotes another group of bought-off scientists as “authorities” even though they all parrot the same medical quackery of their masters — the pharmaceutical companies. Predictably, the old dinosaur media spins the report into a complete lie Regardless of the fact that the IOM report found a long list of side effects to be “convincingly” linked to vaccines (which is remarkable, given the IOM’s pro-vaccine slant, as revealed below), the mainstream media went out of its way to twist the story around and declare vaccines are perfectly safe! Forbes Magazine , which has long been a zombie mouthpiece for pharmaceutical business interests, ran with the headline, “Report Finds Few Side Effects For Vaccines.” (Not true. The report actually found an alarming number of side effects for vaccines.) The Sydney Morning Herald , the pro-pharma quack rag of Australia, declared “Vaccine gets another clean bill of health, but no one is listening.” (A total and deliberate lie by a newspaper that maliciously lies to its Australian readers on a regular basis.) NPR , which no one even expects to honestly report a story anymore, declared, “Report: Vaccines Are Safe, Hazards Few And Far Between.” Voice of America parroted, “US Study: Vaccines are Safe.” (Again, a complete fabrication. Did they even read the IOM’s report?) The trouble, of course, is that all these headlines are really more like headLIES . They fail to report what the IoM actually published in its own conclusions, and even that is a distorted version of the truth of how dangerous vaccines really are. But it surprises no one to see conventional media — the presstitutes — covering up the crimes of the deadly vaccine industry. They’re all in this together, of course. It’s the pharma interests that buy a significant portion of the advertising which keeps these rags in business, and if they actually told the truth about the dangers of drugs and vaccines, drug companies would pull their ads and many of these media outlets would simply collapse into financial insolvency (which is actually what they deserve, given that they only serve their corporate masters and contribute nothing to the people of society). So they keep parroting the lies of Big Pharma and the distortions of the IoM, which as you will soon see, is an entirely untrustworthy organization that has a history of being involved in illegal medical experiments and crimes against humanity , including having its members play a role in the illegal syphilis medical experiments on Guatemalan prisoners . A brief history of the Institute of Medicine The IoM is the same group, you may recall, that recently issued an utterly false and misleading report on vitamin D , claiming that people should take no more than 600 IUs of vitamin D a day. It then went on to warn people against “megadosing” on vitamin D, thereby contributing to the ongoing vitamin D deficiencies that are the main cause of cancer in America today. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030598_vitamin_D_Institute_of_Medicine.html) (In truth, most people need 10,000 IUs of vitamin D a day just to maintain healthy levels.) This was all part of the 2010 report called, “Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D” in which the IoM utter failed to find any link whatsoever between vitamin D and cancer (huh?), and then reluctantly admitted that vitamin D may have something to do with bone health, but nothing more. This is a classic example of total pseudoscientific quackery being put out to promote nutritional deficiencies so that the pharmaceutical industry can rake in more profits. (http://www.anh-usa.org/action-alert-is-the-institute-of-medicine-in-bed-with-big-pharma/) Remember, Big Pharma is a huge financial supporter of the IoM. Full details on the IoM’s financial ties will shortly be reported here on NaturalNews, where you will learn that individuals like Margaret Hamburg , the head of the criminal FDA, personally gave the IoM more than $100,000. (So did Bill Gates, Ted Turner and others.) The IoM is also the same group that declared Agent Orange was safe for U.S. veterans who fought in Vietnam . In nearly every report it has issued over the years, the IoM has pushed a pro-pharma agenda while denying the reality of dangerous chemicals. Yet, somehow, the IoM is widely quoted by the old media (the dinosaur media, the presstitutes ) as if it were a “scientific” organization reaching “scientific” conclusions, independent of industry influence. Didn’t any of the presstitutes actually check who funds the IoM? Of course not. The age of old media journalists actually asking intelligent questions has long faded into history. Now, they simply vomit up whatever disinfo they’ve been spoon fed by the establishment, and they rely on the gullibility of their fluoridated, mind-numbed readers to buy whatever propaganda they’re spewing. The IoM’s role in criminal, government-run human medical experiments The IoM, by the way, was also directly involved in the criminal medical experiments conducted on Guatemalan prisoners , a “dark chapter” of conventional medical history that came to light in late 2010 (http://www.naturalnews.com/029924_medical_experiments_Guatemala.html). When the truth about these experiments became known (oops! Somebody found out!), President Obama was forced to issue a public apology and organize an investigation. He appointed the Institute of Medicine — a “prestigious” organization, if you can believe that — to lead the investigation. But the IoM had to recuse itself from the investigation, admitting that some of its own people were the same people who conducted the illegal medical experiments while working for the NIH . The Guatemalan medical experiments, you see, were a U.S. government funded operation conducted under the NIH, and the IoM has strong financial ties to the government, receiving as much as 64.9% of its funding from government sources (details on that to be published here on NaturalNews shortly). This was all admitted in a published paper called “U.S. reviews human trial participant protections.” (The Lancet, Volume 376, Issue 9757, Pages 1975 – 1976, Dec. 11, 2010). This paper declares, “In a sign of just how thoroughly enmeshed in medical establishment approval the Guatemala study was, the IoM had to decline the assignment, citing “overlapping appointments” in the 1940s between individuals on an IoM subcommittee and the NIH Study Section on Syphilis. The fact-finding task has now been transferred to the bioethics committee.” (http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62247-7/fulltext) This was also reported in Jerry Leonards Public Health Alert (www.PublicHealthAlert.org), in a special article covering the CDC Tuskegee experiments and ongoing biowarfare research being conducted covertly by the U.S. government and its various “medical” front groups (NIH, IoM, CDC, NCI, etc.) Read the full report from Jerry Leonards at: http://www.publichealthalert.org/Articles/miscellaneous/tuskeegee%202.pdf So keep all this in mind about the history of the IoM when you read its paper on vaccines. We’re talking about an organization that promotes nutritional deficiencies, that utterly ignores the solid science on disease prevention with nutrition, and that was so deeply involved in the illegal, government-run medical experiments on Guatemalan prisoners that it had to remove itself from the bioethics investigative committee appointed to investigate the matter. The word “ethics” doesn’t even belong in the same paragraph as the Institute of Medicine. The IoM is also largely funded by both military government interests (including funds from the Department of Defense, which we will explain later), pharmaceutical interests (it takes money from all the top Big Pharma companies) and top global elitists like Bill Gates who are openly calling for the use of vaccines to “reduce world population by 10 to 15 percent.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html) Today, this same pharmaceutically prostituted organization that lied to the nation about vitamin D has issued its report called “Adverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality” . Let’s see what this report really says: What the IOM report on vaccines reveals about deadly vaccines To begin, you can download and view the entire report yourself at: http://naturalnews.com/files/Adverse-Effects-of-Vaccines-Evidence-Causality.pdf Here are several important things you need to know about this report — things that none of the mainstream presstitutes will dare tell you : #1 – The IOM vaccine report was reviewed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as a military weapons manufacturer On page 8 of the report, you will see that it was reviewed by Chris Wilson from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a vaccine front group that openly pushes for global population reduction through vaccines and infertility technologies (http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html). Secondly, this IOM report was reviewed by Sam Shekar from the military defense contractor Northrop Grumman , a weapons manufacturer and military technology engineering company that received a $5 billion grant from the CDC to run a vaccine information technology program (which will likely be used to track vaccine recipients in much the same way that IBM sold its technology to the Nazi regime in World War II to track Jewish prisoners as they were hauled off to concentration camps). (http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/home.php) #2 – The IOM conducted NO NEW STUDIES for this report Instead, it was merely a compilation of 12,000 existing vaccines studies published in all the corrupt mainstream medical journals which are pro-vaccine propaganda rags that routinely engage in bribery, corruption, fraudulent science and the ghost writing of fraudulent “scientific papers” that were really written by Big Pharma propagandists (http://www.naturalnews.com/029160_medical_journals_ghostwriters.html). The British Medical Journal in particular has been widely discredited over its fictitious and provably false allegations against Dr. Andrew Wakefield (http://www.naturalnews.com/031116_Dr_Andrew_Wakefield_British_Medical_Journal.html). The IoM, however, took all the medical journals are honest, trustworthy sources! …even though we know conventional medical journals are the epitome of modern pharmaceutical quackery parading around as science. For the IoM to use medical journals as “sources” for any study is sort of like police departments hiring convicted felons to be detectives. All of us know very well that relying on the conventional medical industry’s own studies as a source of information about the dangers of the conventional medical industry’s own products is just flat-out stupid. If you’re going to have an honest assessment of the dangers of vaccines, you don’t use the for-profit vaccine industry as your source of information! The medical journals, as we all know, are utterly corrupted and controlled by the drug companies that manufacture and sell all these vaccines in the first place. Nearly all conventional medical journals are packed with drug company ads that provide the bulk of the funding for their operations. So it makes no difference that the IoM claims to have reviewed “12,000 studies.” Most of those 12,000 studies are still slanted propaganda pieces because they were funded by the vaccine companies and published by what are essentially “vaccine journals” that promote the interests of vaccine companies. The IoM might as well claim it looked at a “gajillion studies!” If you really want to find out what vaccines cause in children, you need to go talk to the parents of autistic children — something that Dr. Andrew Wakefield did, much to the horror of the medical establishment which then went out of its way to utterly defame and denigrate Dr. Wakefield for daring to suggest that vaccines might produce harmful gastrointestinal effects. (Dr. Wakefield, for the record, has never suggested that vaccines cause autism. That allegation is a total piece of fiction invented by the medical establishment and the old media presstitutes.) The IoM, for the record, did not talk to a single child or a single parent as part of this entire review (see below). And there is absolutely no indication that the IoM has any intention whatsoever to ever talk to any parent of an autistic child and gather reliable information from the people directly impacted by this neurological disorder which seems to happen to many children right after being vaccinated. #3 – The IOM study openly admits it did not consider the “benefits” of vaccines at all The old media is widely reporting that this IOM report proves vaccines are “safe” and “effective,” and yet the IOM openly states that its report didn’t assess vaccine benefits at all. “We were not charged with assessing the benefits of vaccines, with weighing benefits and costs, or with deciding how, when, and to whom vaccines should be administered. The committee was not charged with making vaccine policy,” says Ellen Wright Clayton of the Chair Committee to Review Adverse Effects of Vaccines. The report itself says, “The 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine is covered by the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, and evidence about its safety is not covered in this report.” (Yeah, no kidding, because its safety record is so atrocious that opening that can of worms would destroy their whole argument that vaccines have few side effects…) Influenza vaccines are the most dangerous vaccines of all , having been proven to actually promote influenza and weaken immune defenses against future infections (http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_vaccines_junk_science.html). That’s why every winter, the vast majority of people who catch the flu are the very same people who were vaccinated against the flu! (Most flu deaths occur in people who received flu vaccinations. There’s another little factoid the old dinosaur media will never — never! — put into print.) #4 – The IoM admits it did not have accurate data In the introduction to the report, the IoM openly admits it simply doesn’t have enough data to accurately assess the totality of vaccine adverse reactions. “…we learned some lessons that may be of value for future efforts to evaluate vaccine safety. One is that some issues simply cannot be resolved with currently available epidemiologic data…” says the report. In another bit of twisted logic, the IoM effectively admits that many vaccine side effects are simply blamed on the “natural infection.” Read the following statement from the IoM and note how it makes absolutely no sense and yet is somehow trying to shift blame away from vaccines: “Some adverse events caused by vaccines are also caused by the natural infection. These effects often cannot be detected by epidemiologic methods, which typically cannot distinguish between the adverse events that are caused by the vaccine itself and the decrease in adverse events due to the decreased rate of natural infection.” #5 – The IoM openly admits it threw out all data covering long-term adverse events All the conclusions of the IoM are based entirely on short-term adverse reactions from single vaccines. The IoM’s report in no way considered long-term adverse reactions or the cumulative effects of multiple vaccines compromising the immune system or nervous system. In fact, the IoM admits in its report that “Case descriptions that did not have the three basic elements described above were not considered in the mechanistic weight-of-evidence assessments.” One of those three elements was a “specified and reasonable time interval (i.e., temporality or latency) between vaccination and symptoms.” But the IoM failed to define this “temporality,” stating that “What constitutes reasonable latency will vary across vaccines and across adverse events.” This means the IoM could simply throw out any evidence it wanted by claiming the latency was too long between the vaccine injection and the appearance of side effects. If autism kicks in 15 days after a vaccine injection, for example, the IoM could simply disregard it. If a child suffered neurological damage following a vaccine but the doctor reporting the adverse effects did not note how many hours transpired between the vaccine shot and the onset of neurological symptoms, that data was also thrown out. This is how modern medical “science” — which is really just for-profit quackery — always seems to engineer the study results it wants. It simply throws out all the data that doesn’t fit its pre-determined conclusions! Or, in the case of pharma researchers who work for Merck and Pfizer, they just fabricate whatever data they want and then get that published in the mainstream medical journals (http://www.naturalnews.com/028194_Scott_Reuben_research_fraud.html). #6 – The IoM study still admits that vaccines cause infectious disease! This is the truly amazing part about all this. The old dinosaur media (presstitutes run by globalists) is widely reporting this IoM story as if it declares vaccines to be safe. And yet they haven’t even read the report! Because on page 574, this IoM report directly declares that MMR vaccines cause measles! It describes the evidence as “convincingly supports” and says the mechanistic assessment is “strong.” The real conclusions of the Institute of Medicine report on vaccine adverse reactions Here are some of the other conclusions of the IOM’s report, which the old dinosaur media outright refuses to tell you because they are all controlled by pharmaceutical interests: • MMR vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing measles . (Just as we told you here on NaturalNews, the vaccine is what’s causing the disease.) • MMR vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing febrile seizure , just as we also reported here on NaturalNews. • MMR vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing anaphylaxis , a life-threatening allergic reaction that can result in death within minutes. This is what kills many young children who are injected with MMR vaccines. • MMR vaccine is likely linked to causing transient arthralgia in women and children . • Varicella vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing Disseminated Oka VZV , a viral disease (Varicella Zoster Virus) which causes skin lesions and can also infect the lungs and brain. The fact that this vaccine is causing VZV infections is proof that the vaccines contain live viruses! • Varicella vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing Vaccine Strain Viral Reactivation , meaning the vaccine contains live viruses that are reactivated in the human host, multiplying and causing widespread infections. • Varicella vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing anaphylaxis , the life-threatening allergic reaction mentioned above. • The influenza vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing anaphylaxis , which is why influenza vaccines have killed so many children (http://www.naturalnews.com/029586_Australia_vaccines.html). • The influenza vaccine likely causes Oculorespiratory Syndrome , a vaccine reaction described as causing “bilateral conjunctivitis, facial edema, and upper respiratory symptoms.” Once again, this is proof that the vaccine itself is dangerous to humans. • The Hepatitis B vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing anaphylaxis . • The HPV vaccine (for cervical cancer) is also likely linked to causing anaphylaxis . • The TT (Tetanus Toxoid) vaccine is also likely linked to causing anaphylaxis . • The Meningo-Coccal vaccine is “convincingly” linked to causing anaphylaxis . • Vaccine injections (of all kinds) are “convincingly” linked to causing Deltoid Bursitis (severe pain and swelling at the injection sight) and Syncope (loss of consciousness). These are no doubt caused by the toxic chemical adjuvants which are added to vaccines to invoke an immune reaction. These adjuvants are known neurotoxins (http://www.naturalnews.com/026717_vaccine_flu_swine.html). Not surprisingly, this IoM report completely threw out any links between vaccines and: • Guillain-Barre Syndrome • Multiple Sclerosis • Chronic Inflammatory Disseminated Polyneuropathy • Asthma Exacerbation • Autism • Lupus • Type-1 diabetes • Rheumatoid arthritis • Autoimmune hepatitis • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome • Fibromyalgia • Meningitis • Myocardial Infarction • Infantile spasms • Optic neuritis • Bell’s Palsy • Arthropathy • Encephalopathy • Transverse myelitis • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome These were thrown out based on a “lack of sufficient evidence,” says the IoM. But remember: It’s only sources of evidence were the corrupt, quacked-out medical journals! Relying on medical journals to accurately report vaccine side effects is sort of like relying on the Federal Reserve to accurately report what it’s doing with all the bailout money it keeps printing. It’s all one grand orgy of secrecy and corruption constructed for the sole purpose of pushing a globalist control agenda. Anyone with even a hint of human intelligence knows that the conventional medical industry is not a good source of information for determining the dangers of the products manufactured and sold by the conventional medical industry! Only a fool — or a mainstream media journalist — would even believe such a thing. When will we have a truly independent review of vaccines? If you want to seriously investigate the safety of vaccines, you need an independent review of the evidence; meaning you need reviewers from outside the system to look into all the evidence, including interviewing the parents of autistic children and, of course, comparing the outcomes of vaccinated children versus non-vaccinated children. That’s something the vaccine industry has absolutely refused to do, not surprisingly. Any honest comparison would immediately reveal vaccines to be harmful and even deadly. Plus, they simply don’t work. Most outbreaks of infectious disease happen among those children already vaccinated . And that’s no coincidence, either. As it turns out, vaccines almost always contain live viruses that spread disease . Vaccines, ultimately, are a public health hoax through which infectious disease is introduced to the population so that more people can be made sick, thereby killing some (Bill Gates’ population control agenda) while sending the rest to the hospital for treatment (satisfying the corporate profit agenda). The IoM, in releasing its conclusions on vaccine adverse events, only cements its position in the history of medicine as an obvious pharmaceutical co-conspirator with absolutely zero scientific credibility. Why vaccine-pushing scientists are criminals who threaten human life If you believe the IoM, you should stop taking vitamin D and start getting injected with more vaccines. Interestingly, a great many “scientists” and conventional medical pushers quite literally believe that, and they are dying in droves . Dead doctors don’t lie, they say, and the more these doctors take the very medicine they promote, the more quickly they expire. That’s a good thing, in a way, as is explained in the book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions . It explains that science only advances as quickly as the dogmatic defenders of the status quo bite the big one and croak (or some similar phrase stated a bit more eloquently). It is a fact of reality that the faster today’s vaccine-pushing doctors die, the sooner we can get to honest science and truly advanced medicine that respects the human immune system rather than attacking it with toxic chemicals and foreign DNA / RNA invasions — not to mention the neurotoxic aluminum, thimerosal and polysorbate that’s also added to vaccines. Vaccine-pimping doctors are killing themselves by taking Big Pharma medications and vaccines while avoiding superfoods and nutritional therapies. Thus, they deserve the very fate they are creating for themselves — one of pain, suffering and a timely death by which the removal of their dishonest intellectual obfuscations from the pool of medical mythology actually benefits human civilization. Sometimes, truly stated, the most beneficial thing a disinformation “scientist” can do for the future of life on planet earth is to take a very short leap off a very tall building. Gravity and nature will do the rest, which is all the more fitting since it proves that these mad reductionist mind-benders can’t escape the laws of nature after all. As far as the IoM goes, here at NaturalNews, we are about to expose the entire history of this Big Pharma front group, including the funding sources of the IoM and its globalist agenda of destroying human life by promoting sickness and disease. Watch for that in upcoming articles here on NaturalNews.
First Amendment suspended in the Gulf of Mexico as spill cover-up goes Orwellian
July 3, 2010 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods, Supplements
(NaturalNews) As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone caught is subject to arrest, a $40,000 fine and prosecution for a federal felony crime. CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, “A new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges, … will prevent reporters and photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you’re probably familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they’re working for because they’re afraid of losing their jobs.” Watch the video clip yourself at NaturalNews.TV: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=203 The rule, of course, is designed to restrict the media’s access to cleanup operations in order to keep images of oil-covered seabirds off the nation’s televisions. With this, the Gulf Coast cleanup operation has now entered a weird Orwellian reality where the news is shaped, censored and controlled by the government in order to prevent the public from learning the truth about what’s really happening in the Gulf. The war is on to control your mind If all this sounds familiar, it’s because the U.S. government uses this same tactic during every war. The first casualty of war, as they say, is the truth. There are lots of war images the government doesn’t want you to see (like military helicopter pilots shooting up Reuters photographers while screaming “Yee-Haw!” over the comm radios), and there are other images they do want you to see (“surgical strike” explosions from “smart” bombs, which makes it seem like the military is doing something useful). So war reporting is carefully monopolized by the government to deliver precisely the images they want you to see while censoring everything else. Now the same Big Brother approach is being used in the Gulf of Mexico: Criminalize journalists, censor the story and try to keep the American people ignorant of what’s really happening. It’s just the latest tactic from a government that no longer even recognizes the U.S. Constitution or its Bill of Rights. Because the very first right is Freedom of Speech , which absolutely includes the right to walk onto a public beach and take photographs of something happening out in the open, on public waters. It is one of the most basic rights of our citizens and our press. But now the Obama administration has stripped away those rights, transforming journalists into criminals. Now, we might expect something like this from Chavez, or Castro or even the communist leaders of China, but here in the United States, we’ve all been promised we lived in “the land of the free.” Obama apparently does not subscribe to that philosophy anymore (if he ever did). So how does criminalizing journalists equate to “land of the free?” It doesn’t, obviously. Forget freedom. (Your government already has.) This is about controlling your mind to make sure you don’t visually see the truth of what the oil industry has done to your oceans, your shorelines and your beaches. This is all about keeping you ignorant with a total media blackout of the real story of what’s happening in the Gulf. The real story, you see, is just too ugly. And the government has fracked up the cleanup effort to such a ridiculous extent that instead of the “transparency” they once promised, they’re now resorting to the threat of arrest for all journalists who try to get close enough to cover the story. Yes, this is happening right now in America. This isn’t a hoax. I know, it sounds more like something you might hear about in Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela or some other nation run by dictators. But now it’s happening right here in the USA. As Anderson Cooper reported on CNN: “Now the government is getting in on the act. Despite what Admiral Thad Allen promised about transparency just nearly a month ago. Thad Allen: “The media will have uninhibited access anywhere we’re doing operations…” Anderson Cooper: The Coast Guard today announced new rules keeping photographers, reporters and anyone else from coming with 65 feet of any response vessel or booms out on the water or on beaches. What this means is that oil-soaked birds on an island surrounded by a boom, you can’t get close enough to take that picture. Shot of oil on beaches with booms? Stay 65 feet away. Pictures of oil-soaked booms uselessly laying in the water because they haven’t been collected like they should? You can’t get close enough to see that. Believe me, that is out there. But you only know that if you get close to it, and now you can’t without permission. Violators could face a fine of $40,000 and Class D felony charges.” See the video yourself at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=203 Welcome to the (censored) club All I can say to CNN is: Welcome to the club! This kind of censorship, intimidation and tyranny has been going on for decades in the field of health, where the Orwellian FDA has treated the entire U.S. public to a nationwide blackout on truthful health information about healing foods and nutritional supplements. CNN has never covered that story, by the way. Most of the mainstream media has, in fact, gone right along with censorship of truthful health information by the FDA and FTC. Now they’re suddenly crying wolf. But where was the media when the FDA was raiding nutritional supplement companies and arresting people who dared to sell healing foods with honest descriptions about how they might help protect your health? The media went right along with the cover-up and never bothered to even tell its viewers a cover-up was taking place. You see, even CNN is willing to tolerate some Orwellian censorship, as long as its advertisers are okay with it. The only reason they’re talking about censorship in the Gulf of Mexico right now is because oil companies don’t influence enough of their advertising budget to yank the story. Censorship is not okay in a free society I like the fact that CNN is finding the courage to speak up now about this censorship in the Gulf, but I wish they wouldn’t stay silent on the other media blackouts in which they have long participated. Media censorship is bad for any nation, and it should be challenged regardless of the topic at hand. When the media is not allowed to report the truth on a subject — any subject! — the nation suffers some loss as a result. Without the light of media scrutiny, corporations and government will get away with unimaginable crimes against both humanity and nature. That’s what’s happening right now in the Gulf of Mexico: A crime against nature . Obama doesn’t want you to see that crime. He’s covering it up to the benefit of BP. He’s keeping you in the dark by threatening reporters and photographers with arrest. How’s that for “total transparency?” The only thing transparent here is that President Barack Obama has violated his own oath of office by refusing to defend the Constitution. By any honest measure, in fact, these actions, which are endorsed by the White House, stand in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution. And that means this new censorship rule in the Gulf, which suspends the First Amendment, is unconstitutional. It also means those who decided on this rule are enemies of freedom . They are the ones who should be arrested and hauled off to federal prison, not the CNN reporters who are trying to cover this story. The seeds of tyranny The loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico isn’t the only catastrophe taking place here, you see: Now we’re losing our freedoms while our government tries to intentionally blind us all from the truth of what’s happening on our own public beaches. When those who seek truth are branded criminals by the government, it is only a matter of time before that government expands its criminalization labeling to include anyone who disagrees with it. These are the seeds of tyranny , and Obama is planting them at your doorstep right now. What BP did to the Gulf Coast, Obama is now doing to your freedom.
Over 130,000 cases of diabetes now linked to soda consumption, HFCS
March 10, 2010 by
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) For years, advocates of natural health have been hammering away at the message that soda causes diabetes and obesity . The soda industry, meanwhile, has remained in denial mode, mirroring the ridiculous position of the tobacco industry that “nicotine is not addictive.” Soda doesn’t cause diabetes, the industry claims, and it’s perfectly safe to consume in essentially unlimited quantities. The Corn Refiners Association has joined the denial with its own spin campaign that seeks to convince people High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is totally natural and completely harmless. HFCS is, of course, the primary sweetener used in sodas and soft drinks. Now comes new research presented at the American Heart Association’s Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention annual conference in San Francisco. This new research reveals that over the last decade, soda consumption has conservatively caused: • 130,000 new cases of diabetes • 14,000 new cases of heart disease • 50,000 more “life years” with heart disease over the last decade “The finding suggests that any kind of policy that reduces consumption might have a dramatic health benefit,” said senior study author Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo (associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco). The American Beverage Association, meanwhile, says this study hasn’t been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal yet and therefore it doesn’t count. Soda consumption doesn’t cause diabetes or heart disease, they claim, because “…both heart disease and diabetes are complex conditions with no single cause and no single solution.” It’s silly logic, of course: Diabetes obviously has a cause . It’s not some spontaneous disease that appears out of nowhere. And when you go looking for the cause, you obviously have to look at dietary factors since diabetes is a disease related to the consumption and metabolism of dietary sugars . Once you do that, sodas immediately raise a red flag because they’re liquid sugar in a highly-concentrated form that does not exist naturally in nature. HFCS doesn’t grow on trees, in other words. Nature provides sugars locked into insoluble fibers that slow digestion and lower the effective glycemic index of sugars that are consumed. In nature, sugars are always combined with minerals, too, and many of those minerals help prevent diabetes and heart disease. But High-Fructose Corn Syrup is stripped of virtually all those minerals. It contains no fiber and no healing phytonutrients that you might encounter in plants. As a result, HFCS — sometimes dubbed “liquid Satan” — might be called a dietary poison that causes disease while contributing to nutritional deficiencies that accelerate disease. Bone loss Interestingly, this new study did not look at loss of bone density , which is another side effect of drinking soda. Due to the extremely high acidity of the HFCS sweetener combined with the phosphoric acid used in sodas, people who drink sodas often lose bone minerals and end up being diagnosed with osteoporosis (even at a relatively young age). Other people end up with kidney stones due to all these minerals passing through the kidneys and contributing to the built up of mineral deposits there. Long-term soda consumers may even suffer from pancreatic cancer due to the extreme stress placed on the pancreas following the consumption of liquid sugars. In all, soda consumption is linked to at least six serious diseases: #1) Diabetes #2) Obesity #3) Heart disease #4) Cancer #5) Osteoporosis #6) Kidney stones That’s why taxing sodas is more than merely a way to raise money through soda sales; it’s also a way to dramatically reduce the cost of treating these diseases. It’s no surprise that several U.S. states are now starting to seriously consider slapping new taxes on sodas and other “junk” beverages. That’s not the way I would prefer to see the situation handled, actually. The better option, in my view, would be to ban all soda advertising by effectively stripping Free Speech rights from corporations. Such rights belong only to individuals, not multi-billion-dollar corporations. Corporations whose products physically harm the health of the population at large should not be allowed to openly advertise and promote those products to the public. They can still sell them, they just can’t advertise them. This is the real solution to the problem: Take away the advertising of sodas and consumer consumption immediately plummets. It’s all the advertising that keeps the soft drink sales machine churning out disease and suffering in the name of corporate profits. Soda companies, of course, will argue that they have a Free Speech right to advertise their products even if they do promote disease. That’s an argument to be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, of course. But let there be no mistake about it: The continued tolerance of soda advertising is creating a nation of diabetes, obesity and heart disease . There will be a price to be paid for all this, and I fear it will be a price far beyond what society is able to pay. To raise a nation on sodas and processed foods is to ultimately doom that nation because failed health will ultimately lead to a failed nation . You cannot built a healthy nation upon the backs of a diseased population, and thanks to the soda companies and junk food companies, the United States of America is now a nation of diseased, diabetic, obese consumers who continue to poison themselves every single day with the dangerous chemicals found in heavily advertised food, beverage and personal care products. If I were the health advisor for a country, I would outright ban all advertising of harmful consumer products (foods, beverages, personal care, cleaning products, etc.), and in their place I’d run public service announcements teaching people about nutrition, disease prevention, vitamin D and commonsense self-care. Within one generation, that nation would be the healthiest in the world, with the lowest rates of disease and affordable health care coverage for all. The junk food and soda companies, of course, would go broke, and the economy would rearrange itself to open up new jobs in healthier and more productive industries rather than the “disease industries” that dominate America today. Sugary beverages, you see, aren’t just a disease upon those who regularly consume them; they are a disease upon the very nation that threatens its economy and compromises its future.

South Korea does what the US refuses to do: Restrict junk food advertising to children
March 10, 2010 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) The health ministry of South Korea has announced that advertisements for foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt, will be limited during the prime time television hours of 5 and 7 p.m. and during any children’s programming. In support of national efforts to curb childhood obesity, the limitations will include foods such as hamburgers, instant noodles, and pizza as well as desserts like chocolate, candy, and ice cream. Many South Korean child advocacy groups have been calling for limitations on junk food advertising for years, citing the statistic that 20 percent of children in the country are overweight. Last year, the health ministry banned junk food sales at schools and their surrounding neighborhoods. A stricter version of the advertising ban was proposed back in 2008 that would have stopped junk food advertising for four hours instead of two but television broadcasters and their advertisers strongly opposed the strict regulations. The South Korean government eventually arrived at a compromised version which is said to take effect within the next several weeks. Following its implementation, government officials plan to evaluate the success of the program to see if an observable reduction in obesity takes place. It will use the results in formulating future obesity-related regulations. Officials expressed that the goal of the ban is to encourage food manufacturers to improve the nutritional quality of their products. Rather than simply enact burdensome restrictions, the health ministry is hoping that when all is said and done, consumers will have healthier options available to them as well as be more informed about what they are purchasing. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, the two most effective ways to limit children’s consumption of unhealthy foods is to restrict their advertising and remove them from schools. Many advocacy groups in the United States have expressed similar sentiments, urging the U.S. government to enact similar legislation to restrict junk food advertising. Since obesity rates are spiraling out of control domestically, they believe that restrictions will help to improve childhood health. Unfortunately, many of the primary causes of the nation’s abundance of cheap junk food and the inevitable obesity epidemic it causes have to do with things like crop subsidies, regulatory agency mismanagement, genetic modification, and lack of transparency in food labeling. A limit on advertising may help to curb the amount of junk food children eat but it will not remove it from grocery store shelves.

Heal Yourself in 15 Days by Cleaning Up Your Skin Exposure (Part Ten)
February 25, 2010 by
Filed under Organic Foods, Supplements
(NaturalNews) Continuing with our 15-day self healing series, today we focus on cleaning up your skin exposures . By “skin exposures,” I mean all the things your skin comes into contact with… and the sheer quantity of those things will probably surprise you. But first, let’s get something out of the way that’s crucial to all this. The consumer products industry wants you to believe their “Big Lie”. The Big Lie is that chemicals you put on your skin don’t get absorbed into your bloodstream. So there’s no need to make sure consumer products are actually safe. The FDA and most members of the conventional medical community also believe this lie: They don’t acknowledge the absorption properties of the skin, so they tend to say that all the things you put on your skin are perfectly safe for your health even if they contain toxic chemicals . (Of course, these very same people then promote nicotine patches and other drugs delivered through the skin, so they do indirectly acknowledge that the skin absorbs chemicals.) How many different products come into contact with your skin on a regular basis? You’d be shocked to consider all the sources: • Perfumes, colognes and other fragrance products. • Shampoo. • Shower soap or shower gel products. • Pesticides used on your lawn which are carried to you through pets or children. • Skin creams. • Sunscreen products. • Cosmetics. • Antibacterial hand soaps. • Laundry detergents and dryer sheets (through your clothing). • Dish soaps. • Furniture polishes. • Household cleaners such as window cleaners. • Artificial dyes found in clothing. • Feminine hygiene products. • Deodorants and anti-perspirants. • Shaving creams and after-shave products. • Hair dyes. • Massage oils and lotions. • Hair sculpting products and hair sprays. • Tattoos and temporary skin art. • Insect repellants. • Over-the-counter creams: Anti-itch, pain creams, etc. • Chlorine in your shower water. • Anti-flea and tick chemicals acquired by touching your pets. Cancer-causing chemicals If you look at all these products whose ingredients come into contact with your skin, you’ll begin to realize something quite disturbing: They’re loaded with cancer-causing chemicals! The average perfume product, just as an example, contains over twenty cancer-causing chemicals all by itself — and these are never even listed on the label. Antibacterial soaps are made with a chemical that’s similar to the nerve toxin chemical called Agent Orange which was used as a chemical weapon in the Vietnam War. Hair dyes contain highly toxic chemical solvents . Conventional laundry detergents are made with extremely toxic cancer-causing fragrance chemicals. Conventional cosmetics are loaded with not just cancer-causing chemicals, but also heavy metals like lead. Lawn pesticides contain chemicals that promote Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The list goes on and on… The products listed above probably contain over 10,000 different synthetic chemicals, and virtually none of them have ever been safety tested or approved as safe for human consumption by any federal agency . The EPA doesn’t even know what many of these chemicals are because companies claim they need to protect their formulation “trade secrets” by not even listing the ingredients on product labels. But think about these 10,000 chemicals for a moment and ask yourself this question: Why are you putting them on your skin? Mainstream consumers poison themselves Consumers are very easy to covertly influence through corporate advertising. I’m particularly struck by the advertising of a cologne product called “Axe” which is marketed to clueless teenage boys who naively believe that wearing these toxic chemicals will magically bring them hoards of slutty women who want to have sex with them. That’s the underlying message of the Axe Cologne advertising, anyway. So these teenage boys buy up these Axe products which include cologne, deodorant and shampoo. Naturally, they’re oblivious to the fact that these products are made with artificial, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are absorbed right through the skin. None of these chemicals have been approved as safe for human consumption by the FDA, of course. But young men coat their bodies with these chemicals with no regard for their own health, thinking that smelling like Axe will reward you with female companionship. And the ads work! Axe sales are through the roof. Sex sells everything… even synthetic chemicals. Are you poisoning yourself, too? But if you think these teenage boys are silly for buying such products, think about your own personal care products. Do you buy conventional shampoo? Sunscreens? Lotions? Cosmetics? Which toxic products are still in your own bathroom, kitchen or garage? I’ve visited a lot of homes of people who told me they were “super health conscious.” Yet in almost every case when I visit such homes, I still find they’re using conventional laundry detergents, brand-name soaps in the bathroom, toxic skin lotions and baby products, etc. It is extremely rare for me to walk into someone’s house and not find a huge assortment of cancer-causing products there. People are poisoning themselves by poisoning their skin with synthetic chemicals. And they still think they’re “health conscious!” Most people, you see, are kidding themselves about protecting their skin from toxic, cancer-causing products. They may follow a fairly healthy diet, but they still bathe their skin in chemicals that damage the brain, liver, heart and kidneys. For some strange reason, many people who are acutely aware of what they put in their mouth are surprisingly unaware of what’s contained in the products they put on their skin. The point of this article is to raise your awareness of what’s in the products your skin comes into contact with, and then to take new action to get all those toxic products out of your home. Action items: What you can do right now This may sound crazy, but here’s what I want you to do: Go through your entire house, covering every room including the garage, under the kitchen sink, the bathroom closet and so on. Gather up every “chemical” product and throw them all out. (You’re poisoning the environment by doing so, of course, but you’re going to make up for that by never buying these products again…) This includes all your conventional cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, fragrance products, cleaning products, laundry products, bug sprays, air “fresheners” and the whole lot. Gather them all up and throw them out. More importantly make a commitment to never buy these products again. That’s the only way to enjoy a long-term benefit for your health, of course. Once this is done, begin to detox your body from these synthetic chemicals using a variety of detox products: Zeolites, chlorella supplements, cilantro, spirulina, etc. Drink a lot of water. Take liver detox herbs to support healthy liver function during all this. (I recommend Livatrex from www.GHChealth.com ). Within just a few days, your chemical burden will start to fall as your body eliminates the chemicals that have been routinely poisoning it. After six months, your chemical load can drop as much as 90 percent, greatly reducing the chemical stress on your liver and kidneys while sharply reducing your risk of cancer and other neurological disorders. Over time, your health will improve as your exposure to synthetic chemicals plummets. This action, combined with all the other steps in this 15-day self healing series, will vastly improve your health while slowing or even halting the development of many different degenerative diseases such as cancer, liver disease or Alzheimer’s.

Food industry continues to market junk food to children
January 27, 2010 by
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) A study conducted by Children Now, a California-based child advocacy group, has been released that indicts the food industry for continuing to market unhealthy food to children. Despite many food companies’ expressed willingness in years prior to self-regulate themselves and shift their advertising efforts towards more healthy fare, little change has been seen. In 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IM) made recommendations to the food industry to reform their marketing strategies towards promoting more healthy, nutritious food rather than junk food. In 2007, the U.S. Council of Better Business Bureaus launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, an effort aimed at meeting the IM recommendations. Over 12 of the nation’s largest food producers agreed to cooperate in changing their advertising strategies. The current study found that despite their promises, the food industry has generally failed to adopt any of the primary recommendations. Advertisements continue to entice children with nutritionally-deficient foods that are attractive to them, often trying to pass their products off as healthy when they are not. Dr. Dale Kunkel, the author of the study, has concluded based on years of research that the marketing of junk food is a substantial contributor to childhood obesity. More than 72 percent of television food advertisements aimed at children today are for food products in the worst nutritional category. Only one percent of all advertising is for truly healthy foods. Prior to 2005 when the initiative began, 84 percent of television ads were for food products in the worst nutritional category, representing a 14-percent drop since that time. Dr. Kunkel sees this as too little and is hoping that Congressional intervention will be the next step. Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Let’s be straight about this: Any nation that wanted to protect the health of its children would flat-out ban the marketing of junk food to children . The junk food corporations, of course, now claim “free speech” rights thanks to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that effectively grants corporations the same free speech rights as individuals. So now we’re going to be overrun by “free speech” advertisements for junk food, targeted to children and infants in order to hook them on processed junk foods. Corporations should be stripped of such rights . The corporatocracy cannot be allowed to poison our children with more toxic junk foods and sodas laced with chemical sweeteners. The United States of America is supposed to be a nation of the People, by the People and for the People… not for the corporations! Any nation that raises its children on junk foods has no real future. Sadly, that now seems to include the United States of America. Sources for this story include: http://uanews.org/node/29055
