Vitamin B-12 and folic acid prevent memory loss and improve cognition as we age

Researchers from the Australian National University have shown that essential B vitamins combat stress that results in a loss of memory and normal thought patterns that cause abnormal brain aging. Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists found…

Medical Mafia using financial leverage to enforce children’s vaccinations on poor families

(NaturalNews) Australia has a very high percentage of children fully vaccinated by age five. Only 11% are not fully vaccinated by five years of age. The Australian government has created financial incentives to almost force parents into vaccinating. Still, the Australian government isn’t happy with what they have. Australia’s medical mafia In Australia, parents receive $726 per child as Family Tax Benefit (FTB) at year’s end. In order to receive those benefits now, parents will have to provide proof of vaccinations for each child at one, two, and five years of age. So if a parent refuses to consent to their child’s vaccinations to the full schedule, that family would be minus $2,178. Already, non-vaccinating families were prohibited from child care benefits and rebates. The benefits program offered assistance to lower income families. Rebates are available for any income level family to pay half of out of pocket children’s annual medical expenses up to a maximum $7500. This latest ruling replaces the bribe of $129 for meeting the full vaccination schedule at the ages of two and five. The bribe and the two benefit restrictions seemed to have worked with most parents. Yet, the government is not satisfied with this high percentage. This last financial blackmail mandate comes at the same time the childhood vaccination schedule was made more severe. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) three in one shot will be a four in one with a chickenpox vaccine added. And it will be administered at 18 months instead of the MMR’s previous schedule at four years of age. So 89% of Australian children have received all their required vaccinations by age five, and a quick survey poll in Australia’s Herald Sun shows 60% favor penalizing parents who don’t fully vaccinate their kids. Is Australia setting the pace for a world of “vaccine zombies”? (http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=6D05173308E7F4169D7259EB85CDF522). Herd protection fiction Convincing concerned citizens that diseases are stopped only by vaccinating 90% of a given population is a major guilt producer among vaccine advocates. It serves to ostracize those who do not wish to be vaccinated and make them feel guilty for refusing. And it’s bogus on at least three points. The first point is that there have been several instances, internationally, of measles and mumps outbreaks within schools or other groups that were vaccinated against them at or over 90%. Here’s one example. (http://www.naturalnews.com/028142_mumps_vaccines.html). The second point is this: If vaccines truly immunize, what is there to worry about? It would seem that a vaccinated child should remain unharmed among kids with any disease for which he or she has been vaccinated. But in fact, the reverse is often the case. A child vaccinated with attenuated live viruses may shed some of those viruses for up to 20 days. That child becomes an unwitting virtual virus bomb terrorist! In 1976, Jonas Salk the creator of the original polio vaccine with killed virus strains, testified that a live virus oral polio vaccine had been the source of most polio occurrences since 1961. Thirdly, in 1976 USA President Gerald Ford publicly launched a Swine Flu vaccination program and took a jab (really?) on camera. That year’s swine flu epidemic scare was based mostly on one soldier who had dropped dead during a forced march while he was flu ridden . Several thousand Americans took FDA and CDC advice and got vaccinated to “stop the swine flu from spreading.” There were so many adverse reactions, including Guillain-Barre syndrome, that the vaccination program had to be halted, leaving most Americans without the vaccination . Yet, the swine flu did not spread to the millions of those not vaccinated after the “immunization” program was halted in 1976.

Facebook tracks your every move, even after logging out

(NaturalNews) The social media empire Facebook has unveiled some new “features” on its platform in recent days that many allege are a total and compete privacy-breaching nightmare. But one hidden feature, discovered by Nik Cubrilovic, an Australian entrepreneur and writer, that few people are aware of is the fact that Facebook now monitors your online activity, even when you are not logged in to the service. With each new change Facebook makes, users’ privacy becomes a little less … nonexistent, if you will. The most recent “News Feed” modifications, for example, display everything you say and do on the site to all of your “friends,” and even to the public. And now, even after logging out of Facebook, permanent “cookies” track all your movements on websites that contain Facebook buttons or widgets. “Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit,” Cubrilovic wrote on a recent blog posting. “The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions” (http://nikcub-static.appspot.com/logging-out-of-facebook-is-not-enough). But how many Facebook users will actually know to do this? The site has never announced to its users that it is even tracking them in the first place, let alone given them any instructions on how to “opt-out” of this egregious invasion of privacy. Facebook, of course, has become infamous for simply changing its site setup, including privacy settings, and leaving it up to users to figure out how to contain their breached information after the fact. It has switched from an “opt-in” approach, where users used to be given the option to “upgrade” to new features, to a much more complicated “opt-out” approach, where Facebook makes drastic changes and leaves it up to users to somehow figure out how to change things back to the way they were (if such an option is even still possible). “While initially opt-in, the default then seems to be expose everything,” says David Vaile, executive director of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, concerning Facebook’s “breathtaking and audacious grab for whole life data.” “Facebook, once again, are (sic) doing things that are beyond most users’ capacity to understand while reducing their privacy … the default setting for any site should be ‘reveal nothing about me unless I make a specific choice otherwise.’” Sources for this article include: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/facebook-tracks-you-even-after-logging-out-20110926-1ksfk.html

Fukushima already ten times worse than Chernobyl in ocean waters, suggests data

(NaturalNews) Recent readings taken roughly 19 miles out to sea from the Fukushima nuclear power facility in Japan have revealed radioisotope levels ten times higher than those measured in the Baltic and Black Seas after the massive Chernobyl disaster. Because Fukushima is much closer to water than the Chernobyl plant is, the ongoing fallout there is shaping up to be far worse than Chernobyl, at least as far as the world’s oceans are concerned, and time will tell just how devastating this massive disaster will be on the entire world as radiation continues to circulate around the globe. “Given that the Fukushima nuclear power plant is on the ocean, and with leaks and runoff directly to the ocean, the impacts on the ocean will exceed those of Chernobyl, which was hundreds of miles from any sea,” said Ken Buessler, Senior Scientist in Marine Chemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, several months back. Since that time, it has been revealed that Fukushima reactors 1, 2, and 3 have all experienced “melt-throughs,” which are considered to be the worst possible outcome in a nuclear disaster (http://www.naturalnews.com/032657_Fukushima_meltdown.html). Various atomic experts are now in agreement that the unfolding situation in Japan truly is “as serious as it gets in a nuclear disaster.” Even the Japanese government itself is now admitting the grave reality of the situation, having recently announced it will submit a report to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) explaining the details of the melt-throughs, which basically mean that radioactive fuel appears to have burned through the outer containment vessels of the reactors and have gone directly into bare earth. “Dangerous levels of radioactive iodine and cesium have already contaminated the sea, the soil, groundwater, and the air,” said reporter Mark Willacy of the Australian Broadcast Corporation in a recent Lateline interview (http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2011/s3241508.htm). “This week plutonium was detected for the first time outside the stricken plant, and Strontium-90, known as a bone seeker because it can cause bone cancer and Leukemia, has now been found as far away as 60 kilometers (37+ miles) from the facility.” Sources for this story include: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/05/26-7

Australia shuns GM canola in response to consumer demand for non-GMO products

(NaturalNews) The biotechnology industry and its lackeys in the US government may be getting away with pulling a fast one on the American people, but citizens across Europe and in Australia continue to resist the onslaught of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in their food supply. A recent report from Gene Ethics Media (GEM) explains that two of Australia’s largest grain traders are refusing to deal with any GM canola this year, citing intense and increasing consumer opposition to GM grains. Europeans import much of their canola from Australia, a country that for years had unilaterally held a non-GMO policy for canola. After all, virtually nobody from the countries to whom Australia exports its grains wants GM canola, and this has naturally created market conditions in which canola growers have voluntarily chosen to stick with non-GM and organic varieties. “This market is a bonanza for the majority of Australian grain growers who wisely stayed with non-GM canola varieties,” said Bob Phelps, Director of GEM. “Ninety-five percent of Western Australia’s canola sold to Europe last year and strong demand is expected to continue, but only for non-GM. European shoppers have zero tolerance for GM canola.” Most Australian states currently have a ban on GM canola, with the major exception of Western Australia (WA). Terry Redman, Agriculture Minister of WA, recently lifted the ban on GM canola, despite the fact that nearly all farmers and shoppers oppose the crop. Redman, of course, also tried to dilute organic standards in Australia after it was found out that a GM canola crop field had contaminated an organic crop field, which caused the organic farmer to lose his organic certification status (http://www.naturalnews.com/030851_Monsanto_GMOs.html). Phelps is urging all Australian states to maintain or retain their non-GMO statuses because there is no effective way to prevent non-GMO and organic crops from being contaminated by GMOs — they simply cannot coexist together. But states like WA will have to make that decision now, and completely block all future GM plantings. “GM canola segregation has failed everywhere it has been tried. After only one year of commercial GM canola in WA there is still time to become GM-free again,” said Phelps. “South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and Northern Territory have retained their GM-free policies and other states should again ban polluting GM canola, for marketing reasons. It’s insane to grow a GM crop that no one in their right mind wants to eat.” Sources for this story include: http://www.gmwatch.eu/latest-listing/1-news-items/13196-major-grain-traders-snub-gm-canola

Plutonium found in soils near Fukushima, but governments say there’s nothing to worry about

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown catastrophe, plutonium has now been found in soil samples taken from five locations around Fukushima. Yes, plutonium. But here’s the real whopper: The media is reporting “Officials insist that the plutonium poses no threat to humans.” (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/video/2011-03/29/c_13803152.htm) Seriously. I never thought I’d read in the press that “plutonium poses no threat to humans,” but then again, there’s practically nothing in the news these days that isn’t distorted in order to either misinform or de-educate the masses. Along similar lines, the TSA today applauded the publication of a new study in a conventional medical journal which claims that airport naked body scans are also perfectly safe for you (just like plutonium, eh?) (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-28/airport-full-body-scans-pose-little-radiation-risk-for-fliers-study-finds.html). On both the TSA’s naked body scanners as well as nuclear meltdowns , the message from the government is exactly the same: Don’t worry, what’s a little fallout anyway? It’s all good for ya! Oh yeah, and mammograms are good for you, too. So is chemotherapy, and vaccines, and mercury fillings and fluoride in the water. Why not just dispose of all the radioactive water from Fukushima by dumping it into the public water supply and announcing it “prevents cavities?” (Don’t repeat this too loudly, or some bureaucrat might actually overhear you and run with this idea…) Latest status of the six reactors • Reactor No. 1: Cooling systems still not functional. Reactor core damaged. Lights are on inside the building. • Reactor No. 2: High radiation. Partial core meltdown admitted. Containment vessel likely damaged by the explosion. • Reactor No. 3: Deadly MOX fuel. Very high radiation detected in cooling water. Partial core meltdown admitted. Cooling pumps are not working and radiation is too high to allow workers to fix them. Building severely damaged by explosion. Cooling pool may also be damaged. • Reactor No. 4: Cooling water levels are low and efforts are being made to replenish the water levels. • Reactor No. 5: Cooling pumps are working, the situation appears stable. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit. • Reactor No. 6: Appears to be safely under control. Cooling pumps are operating. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit.

(http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/partial-meltdown-at-crippled-plant/story-e6frg6so-1226029609261) • A similar meltdown almost certainly must have occurred in Reactor No. 3 where highly radioactive water is collecting in the basement of the power plant. “We’re trying to prevent a deterioration of the situation,” said Prime Minister Naoto Kan (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-03-28/reactor-core-may-be-leaking-at-damaged-fukushima-plant.html). • The source of radioactive water in reactors 2 and 3 remains a mystery. Plant engineers can’t figure out exactly where it’s coming from, and at the same time, the very high levels of radiation in the water make it too dangerous for people to walk through it. (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0328/Japan-nuclear-mystery-Where-are-pools-of-radioactive-water-coming-from) • MSNBC has gone into total spin mode with its “happy happy” propaganda news about how safe and “natural” nuclear power will now become. In a puff piece entitled “New nuclear plants designed to be safest ever,” MSNBC.com actually states, “The key is humility. The next generation of plants must be built to work with nature — and human nature — rather than against them. They must be safe by design, so that even if every possible thing goes wrong, the outcome will stop short of disaster.” (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42258191/ns/business-world_business/) That’s a whole lot of wishful thinking, of course, but it’s no surprise to hear it from a news organization that’s largely owned by none other than General Electric, the manufacturer of the Fukushima power plant. Anyone who thinks they can get honest reporting on nuclear power from MSNBC is suffering from serious self delusion. • Three reactors remain badly damaged, prompting BusinessWeek to publish this quote from UCS: “The cores of three reactors are still badly damaged and it’s not clear that cooling can be restored to all the reactors, Edwin Lyman, a researcher at the Washington, D.C.-based Union of Concerned Scientists said.” (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-03-28/reactor-core-may-be-leaking-at-damaged-fukushima-plant.html) • The plan to restart the cooling pumps that would circulate water through the water pools that cool the spent fuel rods has turned out to be all but impossible to pursue. NISA spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama said in an article on The Australian , “The problem is that right now nobody can reach the turbine houses where key electrical work must be done. There is a possibility we may have to give up on that plan.” (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/partial-meltdown-at-crippled-plant/story-e6frg6so-1226029609261) Watch for more reporting on this incident here at NaturalNews.com, and subscribe to our daily email alerts to be kept up to date on the situation: http://www.naturalnews.com/ReaderRegistration.html

Deep penetrating X-ray body scanners to be installed at airports

(NaturalNews) If you think the current backscatter and millimeter-wave naked body scanners found at airports are bad, wait until you see what authorities have in store for phase two of their privacy molestation agenda. A new generation of full-body scanners that use full-strength radiation to look deep inside the body may soon pop up at airports, according to reports, and the negative health effects caused by such machines are even worse than those caused by the current machines. The new machines use ultra-strength radiation to penetrate deep within the body, allowing security personnel to view bones and organs. The system uses the same internal X-ray technology that doctors and hospitals use on patients, which is extremely hazardous to health. The emitted radiation is so excessive, in fact, that only licensed professionals are permitted to operate the machinery. In case you are unaware, the X-radiation can cause a host of serious problems, including but not limited to coronary heart disease, cell and DNA damage, and cancer. This is why dental patients, for instance, wear lead vests during their dental X-rays — if they didn’t, their vital organs would be exposed to a heavy dose of ionizing radiation (http://www.naturalnews.com/025767_Radiation_Ct_Scans.html). Even the full-body scanners in current use are a significant health threat. Many doctors and scientists have come out saying that the naked body scanners expose the skin to very concentrated levels of radiation, which alters DNA, raises the risk of cancer, and even causes sperm mutations in males (http://www.naturalnews.com/030607_naked_body_scanners_radiation.html). Reports indicate that the deep penetrating scanners could show up soon at Australian airports, should the Federal Parliament approve them for use. And they may eventually end up not only in US airports, but also in mobile fleet vehicles deployed by the US Department of Homeland Security to scan citizens at public events, train stations, sport gatherings, and even at random checkpoints.

Australia to outlaw thousands of plants, including national flower

(NaturalNews) In what it claims is an effort to stamp out plants and flowers that can be used as drugs, Australian authorities have proposed insane legislation that will outlaw hundreds, if not thousands, of common plant species, including the golden wattle, its national flower. If the law passes, nurseries, commercial growers, farmers, cactus collectors, and even backyard gardeners will become criminals overnight — even though many of the plants being targeted are not even used as drugs. Currently, only five plants are banned from cultivation in Australia because of their alleged inherent drug components. But the new legislation will ban from cultivation any plant that contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a naturally-occurring hallucinogen, which according to the Australian Attorney General includes many common and native plants, from various cacti and fodder grasses, to simple backyard ornamental plants. The entire list of plants slated for elimination can be viewed here: http://www.ag.gov.au/www/agd/rwpattach.nsf/alldoc/395048FB6D99F64ACA257803000541F1/$file/Discussion%20Paper%20-%20Implementation%20of%20model%20schedules%20for%20Commonwealth%20serious%20drug%20offences.pdf While DMT does have hallucinogenic properties, the component is found in literally thousands of plant species that are native to the Australian landscape. Farmers use many of the grasses and legumes on the list to feed their animals, for instance. Countless gardeners, landscapers, and plant collectors cultivate many of the plants on the list as well. And numerous seed banks that collect and save plant species will have to dump their seed stocks, should the legislation be passed. The proposal is an irresponsible, ill-derived threat to Australian freedom, and it needs to be stopped. The Australian Minister for Justice, the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP, is accepting public comments on the issue up until March 11, 2011. Those concerned are urged to send email opposition to: Criminal.Law@ag.gov.au. To learn more about the issue, please visit: http://www.gardenfreedom.com/

Sun exposure and vitamin D may prevent multiple sclerosis

Embargoed for release: 7-Feb-2011 16:00 ET (7-Feb-2011 21:00 GMT) (NaturalNews) For decades, scientists have noticed something odd about the condition known as multiple sclerosis (MS). This chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord is less likely to occur in people who live in warmer climates than those dwelling in colder places. Now a study published in the February 8, 2011, issue of Neurology , the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, provides a compelling reason why this is true. People who spend more time outside in the sun and those with higher vitamin D levels are far less likely to ever develop MS than those with inadequate sun exposure and low levels of vitamin D. MS, which frequently involves flare-ups of symptoms that are recurring, often starts with a first episode of the disease marked by neurological symptoms that last anywhere from a few days to many weeks. The new research, conducted by scientists at the Australian National University in Canberra, is the first study to look at people have experienced the very first symptoms of MS before they were officially diagnosed with the disease. “Other studies have looked at people who already have MS — then it’s hard to know whether having the disease led them to change their habits in the sun or in their diet,” study author Robyn Lucas, PhD, said in a statement to the media. The multi-site study included 216 research subjects between the ages of 18 and 59 who had a first episode of symptoms that indicated MS. This group of study participants was matched with 395 people with no symptoms of possible MS who were of similar ages, of the same sex and lived in the same locations in Australia. All the participants reported how much sun exposure they’d had at different times in their lives. The scientists also documented the amount of skin damage participants had from sun exposure and the amount of melanin in their skin. Blood tests were used to measure vitamin D levels (from sun exposure, diet and supplement use) in each research subject, too. The results showed that people with the most evidence of skin damage from sun exposure were 60 percent less likely to develop the first symptoms of MS than the people with the least damage. In addition, those with the highest levels of vitamin D also were less likely to have a diagnosed first MS event than people with the lowest levels. The Australian study also confirmed previous studies that have shown that MS is more common in latitudes further away from the equator. “Added together, the differences in sun exposure, vitamin D levels and skin type accounted for a 32 percent increase in a diagnosed first event from the low to the high latitude regions of Australia,” Dr. Lucas stated. He pointed out that the effects of sun exposure and vitamin D acted independently of each other when it came to the risk of initial MS symptoms. “Further research should evaluate both sun exposure and vitamin D for the prevention of MS,” Dr. Lucas concluded in the press statement.

Vaccine Wars Continue

If there’s one thing about the anti-vaccine movement (one bloggers opinion), it’s that it’s virtually completely immune to evidence, science, and reason. No matter how much evidence is arrayed against it, it always finds a way to spin, distort, or misrepresent it to combat the evidence. I and many other people’s opinion swings 180 degrees opposite: If there’s one thing about the medical establishment’s behavior around vaccines it is it’s virtually complete immunity to evidence, science, and reason. And the evidence is arrayed against the vaccine industry; vaccines do kill children and do cause all kinds of damages but they don’t like to talk about that. The world is flat to vaccine proponents, they can only see the good they are doing and not the bad. They hide in shame the truth , the statistics of vaccine damages , which are the last thing they want paraded in front of the public. And the CDC itself admits, “The age at which infants begin their primary course of vaccinations (2 to 4 months old) is also the peak age for the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).” Of course they don’t see the connection though and admit it on their official site. The truth is that last week, “Australia’s chief medical officer Jim Bishop said health professionals should immediately stop immunizing children under five years old with the flu vaccine. Professor Bishop is concerned about a spike in the number of West Australian youngsters experiencing fever and convulsions after getting the shot.” The day before reading this I was told by a friend of mine here in Brazil of a case where a pregnant woman received the flu shot only to kill her fetus only hours later. The truth is that U.S. health officials urged pediatricians in March of 2010 to temporarily stop using one of two vaccines against a leading cause of diarrhea in babies, after discovering that doses of GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix were contaminated with bits of an apparently benign pig virus. Vaccines kill children in more than rare occurrences. In 1986, Congress officially acknowledged the reality of vaccine-caused injuries and death by creating and passing The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Public Law 99-660) which requires doctors to provide parents with information about the benefits and risks of childhood vaccines prior to vaccination. Doctors are required by law to report suspected cases of vaccine damage. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) — operated by the CDC and FDA. As of January 8, 2010 VAERS had received 7814 adverse event reports following 2009 monovalent H1N1 vaccination. Of the 7814 reports, 477 (6%) were reports that were classified as “serious” health events (defined as life threatening or resulting in death). Among the 477 reports of serious health events, there were 33 reports of death . The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) reported that, “In New York, only one out of 40 doctor’s offices [2.5%] confirmed that they report a death or injury following vaccination,” — 97.5% of vaccine related deaths and disabilities go unreported there. Implications about the integrity of medical professionals aside (doctors are legally required to report serious adverse events), these findings suggest that vaccine deaths actually occurring each year may be well over 1,000 .” Vaccines are also causing a pandemic in neurological damages with accompanying severe learning disabilities. Medical officials will never admit that and will go to their graves thinking it’s safe to inject babies with Thimerosal, which is fifty percent organic mercury by weight. Thimerosal is the most vulnerable aspect of official medicine, the soft point in all their armor since it’s really hard (but they do a superb job) to defend the deliberate injection of a potent neurological poison directly into children’s blood streams. They fool most of the people most of the time but they don’t fool or confuse millions who know better than to trust arrogant doctors and the medical officials that backstop them. Sweet little baby beings deserving our pure love are receiving doses of highly toxic chemicals that hold dangers for both immune and nervous systems. What is happening is most reprehensible yet the medical authorities persist to the end insisting that serous reactions to vaccines are rare meaning they are perfectly safe. Deep within is our pure being that has incarnated into this body. This being is ultra sensitive. From the moment of conception this pure being is picking up subtle impressions from the environment through the heart center of pure feeling. When we betray the innocent and vulnerable nature of baby’s pure heart we cause hurt. When we are born we have a great capacity to be hurt. Babies and young children are totally at the mercy of their environment, they are vulnerable to their doctors who abuse them with pharmaceutical medicine. When our civilization fails we can at least take solace when medical institutions that are built on hurting babies are crushed. It is sad though that nothing short of a civilization collapse will serve in this regard. This essay is a chapter in my soon to be released book on pediatrics.
