FBI’s new definition of rape ensnares TSA agents as serial rapists

(NaturalNews) The definition of “rape” was expanded this week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Criminal Justice Advisory Policy Board , following a barrage of emails from feminist activists who demanded change. The old definition was too narrow, many women argued, and needed to be updated. For one thing, it didn’t cover rape by women against women, or men against men, and we’ve all seen just how much of that goes on these days thanks to organizations like Penn State and the Catholic Church. So in October, the FBI’s UCR subcommittee Advisory Policy Board voted to recommend the definition be expanded. The new definition of rape, which looks set to be “officially” adopted by the FBI in 2012, is as follows: “Rape” is: …penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. ” FBI’s definition ensnares TSA agents as serial rapists Here’s the kicker in all this: According to this definition of rape, the federal government’s TSA agents are serial rapists. That’s because, in the course of carrying out their lewd, improper and entirely illegal strip-searches and “enhanced pat-downs,” they are engaged in precisely the acts covered in the FBI’s definition of rape. Namely, entering the vagina and anus with their fingers without consent of the victim . This means the next time you are fingered by a TSA agent in an airport you should seriously call the FBI and report a sex crime . In fact, it is illegal for you to not report a sex offender committing a crime of which you are directly aware. Failure to do so could make you an accomplice in that person’s next sex crime, legally speaking. Is the TSA really committing these sex crimes in America today? Yes, absolutely. Gov. Jesse Ventura’s lawsuit against the TSA goes into great detail about precisely these kinds of violation. Here’s another story about a woman who was sexually molested by the TSA: http://www.theagitator.com/2011/09/07/were-going-to-molest-you-and-then-were-going-to-make-you-pay-for-it/ Former Miss USA was also technically molested by the TSA: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/04/28/beauty-queen-tsa-agent-touched-my-vagina/ And now three elderly women have stepped forward and claimed they were forced to remove their underwear and strip-searched by TSA agents at JFK (http://www.naturalnews.com/034323_National_Organization_for_Women_TSA_illegal_searches.html). Countless women are being raped every single day by the TSA , and most are too shamed by the incident (or intimidated by TSA thugs) to step forward. What we’re looking at here is government-sanctioned sex offenders who are feeling up our children, teenage daughters, wives, mothers and grandmothers, routinely raping them , and then getting away with it day after day! And, astonishingly, there are only a handful of alternative media people who seem to care about this, with myself being one of the most outspoken. What I have learned in all this is that feminist groups don’t care if their women get raped by government agents because they don’t say a word against it. Where are women’s’ organizations in taking a stand against serial rapists working at the airport? In recent protests about expanding the definition of rape, one woman held up a sign that read, “TAKE RAPE SERIOUSLY.” Except, not if the government is raping people, apparently. Because when the government rapes women in plain daylight, women’s groups remain eerily silent and don’t take it seriously at all. In a recent article, I called out the National Organization for Women (NOW) for its total silence on the issue of government TSA agents molesting and physically abusing women at airports (http://www.naturalnews.com/034323_National_Organization_for_Women_TSA_illegal_searches.html). Why is rape wrong in the workplace, but rape is totally acceptable at the airport as long as it’s carried out by a government agent? One of the activist groups behind the FBI’s recent expansion of rape is the Feminist Majority Foundation . They have a campaign called “RAPE IS RAPE” and their protesters march the streets holding up signs that say things like “STOP VIOLENCE!” See photos at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2070956/Womens-rights-advocates-hail-FBIs-new-definition-rape.html?ito=feeds-newsxml But where is the Feminist Majority Foundation on the issue of the TSA raping women all across America? Dead silence… So I guess rape isn’t rape then, is it? Not if you’re working for the TSA, it isn’t, apparently. And “STOP VIOLENCE” actually means “…except if the government is committing that violence against women,” in which case all these feminist groups seem to be perfectly okay with it. Feminist.org caught hosting job listings for TSA serial rapists In fact, the Feminist.org website even hosts a job listing for a TSA security directory at the L.A. airport! Listed under “feminist jobs and internships” and touting a tag line in the header that reads, “Equality around the world,” this job listing promises that “your success is critical to national security” and says you’ll make up to $172,000 a year (http://feminist.org/911/jobs/jobdescription.asp?jobID=26864). But what it doesn’t say is that part of your job involves leading a team of serial rapists who physically and psychologically abuse women on a day-to-day basis while getting paid inflated government wages to do so. And this is woman-on-woman rape , so it’s really feminists raping other women! How sick can this get? So feminist.org is apparently not opposed to the TSA raping women every single day in America, and it’s actively helping the TSA recruit more feminist women who will then rape other women! Is that the new feminism in America? I hope not… NaturalNews challenges Feminist.org and NOW to denounce the TSA serial raping of women As the editor of NaturalNews.com, I personally challenge these two women’s organizations to publicly denounce the TSA serial raping of women , as defined by the FBI. If these two organizations will not publicly denounce the ongoing raping of women in America, they are total frauds who are betraying the very women whose rights and “equality” they claim to be fighting form. Maybe by “equality” they just mean that all women are equally raped at the airport or something similarly perverted… Here at NaturalNews, we believe rape is wrong , and unlike NOW and Feminist.org, we don’t make exceptions for federal employees committing those acts of rape. We think rape is ALWAYS wrong, whether you’re at an airport, a restaurant, a dental chair or a late-night party where you had a little too much to drink or your sex offender creep boyfriend dropped a little Rohypnol in your cup. It is stunning to find that we, an alternative news organization, actually possess a stronger sense of opposing rape than these feminist groups. And it makes you wonder: If they believe rape is acceptable when committed by federal employees at the airport, under what other conditions would they also support the serial raping of women? When is it okay to rape women? When you work for the government! (Sick!) If they already believe it’s okay for federal employees to rape women, would they also say it’s okay for local law enforcement officers to rape women, too? Or is this just a federal right or some sort? Or how about dentists? Can dentists rape women after giving them a little too much anesthesia? Or is that not okay? Somebody clarify this for me, please, because I’m finding all sorts of inconsistencies with the “RAPE IS RAPE… but not always” explanations of these feminist groups. Oh, or maybe I’m just too stupid to figure this out. I see. I’m not “smart” enough to know that when TSA agents stick their fingers inside your anus and vagina, against your will, somehow that’s NOT rape. Okay, wow. So I must be really stupid or something because I thought rape was always rape. I thought NO meant NO . Maybe I’m just not “trendy” and “metrosexual” enough to stay up with the latest fads, I guess. Maybe the feminists today are actually advocating being raped by government agents and nobody told me about that trend, so here I am like an idiot fighting against the raping of American women when nobody gave me the memo that reads, “Rape is now socially acceptable as long as the rapist claims to be fighting terrorism.” Well then, if rape is okay now then I suppose if a TSA agent carries a badge to a night club, then he can rape all the women he wants there, right? Because government agents are allowed to rape at will, right? All they have to do is claim they’re “fighting terrorism” while they rip your underwear off, right? That’s what they do to 88-year old women at JFK. Oh wait, maybe you mean they’re only allowed to rape women at the airport , not at night clubs or bars. Ah, I get it. So now airports are legalized rape zones , and that’s why it’s okay to rape women there, then, right? Am I getting this yet? This sounds really complicated, because I thought rape was rape, no meant no, and I had no idea airports were “legalized rape zones.” Maybe they should put up a sign to indicate that, huh? Silly me. All this time I’ve been operating from the apparently whacko belief that your vagina or your anus was your own private business and that nobody had the right to violate your body without your express consent. I guess I’m just not up to speed on the latest feminist philosophy, which defends the “administrative right” of government agents to commit serial sex offender crimes at will as long as such crimes are committed at airport security checkpoints in the name of “national security.” Hitler would have been proud. Yet even though Hitler’s soldiers gassed Jewish women by the millions, even they didn’t rape them first! For that level of psychopathic perverted sickness, you gotta come to the USA, folks. No wonder tourism in the USA has plummeted to record lows. Maybe tour companies should advertise a “free raping!” on their brochures as part of the “bonus” of flying through the United States of America which now features “legalized rape zones” known as international airports. Where is your outrage? I hope you see what I’m doing here. I’m trying to evoke your justified outrage at the verifiable fact that women are being raped by the TSA every single day in America — and no one is doing anything about it. The tongue-in-cheek questions I ask above are lewd, insensitive and highly inappropriate — which is EXACTLY what you need to feel in your gut right now if you are to have any hope of responding to this situation with the proper degree of anger and indignation. The raping of women in America’s airports is WRONG! It is ALWAYS wrong! There are no exceptions. No excuses. No “administrative rights.” No “we’re fighting terrorism” B.S. RAPE IS WRONG. Even in the name of (false) security. And to all the women reading this, if you let the TSA rape you today, what else will they try tomorrow? I mean, for all your fluoride-drooling morons out there who think raping women is perfectly okay because we’re “fighting terrorism,” do you also think that the TSA can rape little boys, too, as long as they claim to be fighting terrorism? So then, in your mind, the only thing that Sandusky did wrong at Penn States is that he wasn’t working for the TSA at the time he was allegedly raping those boys? Really? Is that your sick, pathetic system of distorted logic? You see, I recognize this situation for EXACTLY what it is. I have a clear head on this, and my eyes are wide open. I recognize the simple truth that women are being raped across America every single day in our nation’s airports , and even if I am the lone person shouting this across the country, I will continue to shout this simple, obvious truth for as long as it takes for enough people to wake up do something to stop it. Regardless of the disturbing silence of the feminists on this subject, rape is unacceptable as a “security policy”, even when done by someone wearing a badge. I shouldn’t even have to spend my time covering this whole thing — this realization should be OBVIOUS if half the country weren’t so doped up on psychiatric drugs and vaccine poisoning side effects that their brains were already half-melted into a zombie-like state. It’s absurd to even have to say this, but let’s stop the raping of women in America . And let’s arrest, indict and imprison the serial rapist sex offenders who are affectionately known as TSA agents. The only badge these goons should be wearing is a name badge in a psychiatric ward.

Five toxic holiday gifts you should never buy a loved one for Christmas

(NaturalNews) Gift-giving is a wonderful activity, but many people who give gifts to family and friends don’t realize they’re actually giving the recipient cancer , or diabetes or attention deficit problems . In this article, I expose five dangerous gifts that may literally increase the risk of disease and death. Whatever you give your family and friends this holiday season, please avoid giving these five dangerous gifts: Dangerous gift #1) Perfumes and colognes (promote cancer) A typical perfume product contains over 20 cancer-causing chemicals , and they’re absorbed right through the skin. Perfumes and colognes — or any fragrance product, for that matter — are direct causes of cancer which remain utterly ignored by the cancer industry (that just happens to be more interested in high-profit treatments rather than profit-destroying prevention strategies ). The only “safe” perfume is one made entirely from essential oils. Legally speaking, nearly all perfumes sold in the state of California should be labeled with cancer warnings under Proposition 65, but the state never enforces this law against giant perfume corporations (interesting, huh?). Dangerous gift #2) Processed meats, hams and sausages (promote cancer and diabetes) You see these heavily promoted during the holiday season: Sausages, hams and other specialty meats, usually sold with natural-sounding language to make them appear wholesome and home-grown. In reality, almost 100% of these meats contain sodium nitrite , a dangerous cancer-causing chemical that’s used to turn these meats red and prevent spoilage by killing living organisms. See my CounterThink Cartoon on this topic: http://counterthink.com/Processed_Meat_for_Christmas.asp Sodium nitrite is linked to both an increase in cancer as well as type-2 diabetes due to harmful effects on the pancreas. The USDA once tried to ban sodium nitrite from the food supply in the 1970′s but was overruled by the meat industry (which now basically runs the USDA). While processed holiday meats might be a very effective gift to give someone you wanted to murder , they are simply not appropriate to give to someone you care for. Dangerous gift #3) Video game consoles (promote violence) Parents, if you’re about to buy video games for your kids, please reconsider your decision. Video game consoles now feature game content that’s more graphic and violent than ever, and they desensitize your children to acts of violence. Even worse, some video games being designed today — “first-person shooters” — are actually developed by the U.S. military and used as recruiting tools that aggrandize war. A young male child who plays video games is not only more like to join the military and engage in mindless acts of violence, he is also more likely to be diagnosed with attention deficit disorder . There are some very good real-time strategy games that teach strategic thinking (such as Sid Meier’s Civilization series), but avoid giving your children first-person shooters or other extremely violent games. Dangerous gift #4) Mobile phones (promote type-3 diabetes) Very few people know that there’s another kind of diabetes called “type-3 diabetes.” It’s caused by electropollution . Quite literally, when some people are in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields, their blood sugar levels begin to swing wildly. (http://www.naturalnews.com/028967_electropollution_diabetes.html) Mobile phones are one of the worst sources of electromagnetic pollution beamed right through your head . It’s far safer to use them with a bluetooth headset, and safer still to use them only as a texting device without voice calling. (The small bursts of text data transfer are miniscule compared to full-on voice broadcast.) If you do want to give someone a mobile phone, make sure they’re not already diabetic (and buy them a bluetooth headset). Dangerous gift #5) Clothing that’s full of GMOs, dyes and pesticides This is a tough one, but nearly all the clothing sold in stores today is absolutely loaded with GMOs, dyes and pesticides. Let me explain: Any clothing containing cotton is almost certainly GMO, as virtually all the cotton grown in America today is genetically modified. Of course, you’re not eating that pair of jeans, so this may not concern you personally, but there’s still a huge environmental impact of GMO cotton being grown on farms. Far worse from a personal health perspective are the dyes . Clothing dyes are almost always toxic, cancer-causing chemicals , and if you’ve ever worn a new piece of clothing and later discovered some of the dye rubbed off on your arms or legs, you know how easily these dyes can transfer from the clothing to your skin (and then into your bloodstream). Finally, all non-organic cotton is loaded with pesticides , and those pesticide chemicals can promote Parkinson’s disease, dementia and other brain disorders (http://www.naturalnews.com/027098_pesticides_disease_pesticide.html). The only cotton that’s free of pesticides is 100% organic cotton , which is available from a few specialty stores and online retailers. SAFETY TIP: If you do buy someone a gift of clothing, or if you receive one yourself, wash the clothes in hot water (by themselves, without polluting your other clothing) and use an extra rinse cycle. Dry them in the dryer and then wash them again! This is the only way to remove most of the dyes and pesticides found in these clothes, and even this process doesn’t remove all the dangerous chemicals. Remember this, too: Nearly all clothing containing cotton boosts the profits of Monsanto , which sells the genetically modified cotton seeds that farmers use to produce this cotton. So buying someone a pair of jeans for Christmas is essentially putting more money into Monsanto’s pocket. It goes without saying, but… In addition to the five toxic gifts mentioned above, please do not buy anyone a flu shot gift card unless you are literally trying to kill them. Flu shots often contain live viruses and may actually cause the flu (http://www.naturalnews.com/033891_vaccines_delayed_injury.html). They can also cause neurological side effects like seizures and vomiting (http://www.naturalnews.com/029586_Australia_vaccines.html). If you really want to help someone boost their defenses against the flu this holiday season, buy ‘em some vitamin D (5,000 IUs is the recommended dosage). Be smart this holiday season – don’t destroy the health of those you love Whatever you give people this holiday season, be smart and consider the following: • WHERE does this gift come from? What is its resource and manufacturing impact on the environment? • WHO profits from me buying this gift? Does it enrich some evil corporation? • WHAT will be the impact on the person I’m giving this gift to? Will it improve their live in a meaningful way? The more you consider these questions, the better your gift-giving success will be… and not just at a personal level, but at a global level where you are fully aware of the global impacts of your purchasing and gift-giving decisions. Want to give your loved ones healthy gifts? Consider some of the specials at the NaturalNews Store, which we’ve just published at: http://www.naturalnews.com/034252_holiday_shopping_healthy_gifts.html These are all health-promoting gifts, and many of them are on sale at the best prices on the ‘net (even better than Amazon.com). Whatever you buy this holiday season, give the gift of good health wherever possible.

10 outlandish things the ‘scientific’ controllers have in mind for you in the near future

(NaturalNews) What corporate-driven “science” has in mind for the future of humanity is far different from the dreamy utopian landscape that’s been portrayed by the mainstream media. To hear the corporate-run media tell it, science is always “good” for humanity. Scientific achievements are always called “advances” and not “setbacks,” even though many of them have proven to be disastrous for humanity (atomic bombs, for example, or GMOs). While pure science is, indeed, a necessary component of any civilization which seeks to expand its understanding of the universe, what we see dominating the landscape today isn’t pure science but corporate-driven “science” that only seeks to accelerate corporate profits, not human understanding. And with that corporate-slanted science comes a whole new era of truly terrifying technologies that we may soon see become reality in our world. Here, I’ve compiled a list of ten future technologies that might be used to strip away your freedoms and enslave you to the corporate globalist masters, all under the label of “science.” #1) Organ harvesting from genetically modified, patented pigs Need a replacement heart or lung? No worries, mate! Monsanto will grow you a new one using a genetically modified, trans-species pig (patent pending) that was raised on GMO animal feed and subjected to organ harvesting while it was still alive in order to keep the organs “fresh.” Your government-approved, Medicare-funded transplant will be handled by one of the top U.S. hospitals, which are, even today, deeply engaged in black market organ trafficking and illegal transplantations. #2) “Behavioral vaccines” that rewire your brain to eliminate dissent Disobedience is a disease! And the “cure” for disobedience (or Oppositional Defiance Disorder, as they call it) will be a new “vaccine” that biologically rewires your brain to make you more socially acceptable to the controllers. It will be called a “behavioral vaccine” even though, in reality, it’s just a chemical lobotomy . This technology will be a cornerstone of the global police state, which will have no tolerance for independent thinking or critical thought of any kind, especially against the state. #3) Centralized, remote monitoring of all your health statistics and vital signs by the police state Think your medical records are really private? Think again: Even now, the U.S. government maintains a secret centralized bank of blood taken from children at birth. In the near future, citizens will be implanted with biometric monitoring chips that relay information back to the government about your pulse, respiration, and the presence of either illegal drugs or legalized pharmaceuticals (which are often the very same chemicals as illegal drugs, just re-branded as a medication). These chips will be used by the government to enforce people taking their medications. They will also be used to locate and arrest those who smoke a little pot or take addictive substances without a prescription. But most importantly, these chips will be used to monitor nutritional levels and make sure no one attains a high level of vitamin D, for example, which promotes clear thinking and strong cognitive function (http://www.naturalnews.com/029190_vitamin_D_brain_function.html). Under scientific dictatorship, the sheeple must be kept in a state of chronic nutritional deficiency in order to be easily controlled. This will all be sold to the public as a way for the government to monitor their “safety” because, the government will claim, “Too much vitamin D can be dangerous!” So they will set the upper safety limits to the lower threshold of cognitive awakening, making sure that everyone remains in a mental stupor as they live out their state-run lives. #4) The total secrecy of all food ingredients, sources and places of origin As the food industry is increasingly invaded by junk science (GMOs, anyone?), efforts will increase to hide all the chemical ingredients in food products and rename dangerous-sounding chemicals into nice-sounding chemicals. The Corn Refiners Association is already trying to rename “High Fructose Corn Syrup” to “corn sugar.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/029748_high_fructose_corn_syrup_sugar.html) Aspartame is now going to be called “AminoSweet,” and MSG has been renamed things like “yeast extract” or “Torula yeast powder.” But it’s going to get far worse as fraudulent science accelerates food industry deceptions. Expect to see preservatives like “sodium benzoate” renamed as things like, “Freshiness crystals.” Or “artificial colors” might be described as “Fortified with pretty colors.” Above all, the food industry wants to hide where its foods come from, how they are made, and what’s in them, because all three of those categories are bad news for your health. #5) The complete criminalization of home-produced foods and medicines, forcing total reliance on factory food production Speaking of food, corrupt “scientists” will soon insist that growing your own food is extremely dangerous because you might grow e.coli in your garden! With such absurd justifications, home gardening will be completely outlawed in many towns, and those who try to secretly grow tomatoes will be arrested and imprisoned as if they were heroin smugglers. The idea of all this is to make the population completely dependent on centralized factory food production , in the same way the population is currently dependent on centralized electricity and centralized fossil fuels. This will all be justified with the help of “scientists” who claim that factory-produced food is safer for you because it’s all pasteurized, irradiated and fumigated. #6) The unleashing of a global bioweapon pandemic through seasonal flu shots Whereas vaccines were once intended to prevent disease, they are now being increasingly weaponized and engineered to spread disease , which is why most of the people who get the flu each winter are the very same people who routinely take flu shots. In the near future, as the globalists decide the world population has reached its upper tolerable limit, a live “population control” virus will be engineered right into the vaccines, followed by an aggressive vaccine push that even offers to pay people to receive flu shots. (Get a flu shot, earn $25!) The whole scheme, of course, is nothing more than a population control measure designed to eliminate all the lower-IQ people on the planet who are stupid enough to allow themselves to be injected with biological weapons packaged and sold as vaccines. Effectively, it’s really a eugenics program that the globalists believe will save the human race from the rise of stupidity (no matter what the cost in human suffering). #7) Total government control over your reproduction and the genetic code of your “offspring” Copulating with the person of your choice and producing your own “random” offspring will no longer be allowed under the scientific police state. Reproduction must be carefully controlled through licensing and regulation to make sure that no unexpected results occur. Before having children, parents will need to apply to the government for permission to reproduce, at which point they will be genetically and cognitively profiled, then granted a reproduction classification status that must be strictly followed to avoid imprisonment. People who show rebellious tendencies and speak out against the state will be denied reproduction “privileges.” Only the most obedient, white-skinned, do-gooder mind slaves will be granted reproduction privileges, and they will gladly copulate and raise yet more babies to be sacrificed to the state as the next generation of mind slaves. #8) Wireless brain implants that can be remotely activated by law enforcement to make entire crowds of people passive The future of “science” involves all sorts of electronics implanted into the human body. One of the most convenient ones will be the “pacification chip” that will be forced upon citizens along with “money chips” that they use to pay for everything (cash will be outlawed, and using cash will be seen as a terrorist activity). The pacification chip can be remotely activated by the government through cell tower bursts — or through hand-held units issued to police and law enforcement commanders — to instantly pacify large crowds of protesters or rioters. Are the students protesting about free speech again? Activate the pacification chip, and they’ll all lay down on the lawn and daydream for a while. Are revolutionaries marching on the capitol and trying to overthrow the government? Activate the pacification chip, and your tyrannical dictatorship is safe! Such chips may also be used to “excite” the brain at times when it is also politically useful. For example, when another terrorist attack is staged on U.S. soil, the “excitation chips” can be activated across the population to get people riled up and calling for war! (And that’s the whole point of false flag attacks, of course.) #9) The genetic engineering and breeding of obedient super soldiers In the far future, battlefield soldiers will actually be humanoid-shaped robots equipped with firearms and body armor. Think “Terminator” model T-1000. That’s still a ways off, of course, given the incredible complexity of mobile power, robotic actuation technologies, vision recognition systems and artificial intelligence. In the mean time, the most powerful nations of the world will pour R&D money into growing genetically modified super soldiers who are secretly birthed, raised and trained to be as robotic as possible. These super soldiers will be genetically engineered with peak performance attributes (high blood oxygenation, large body frames, etc.) combined with small brains that can only process enough information to follow orders but never question them. They will also be outfitted with numerous electronic implants, making them more cyborg than human . They will have vision implants attached to their retinas, for example, GPS chips wired to their brains, comm equipment wired into their ears, and built-in pain medication dispensers that flood their bodies with stimulant chemicals so they can keep fighting even after an arm gets blown off, for example. #10) The electromagnetic activation of metals and nano-crystals injected into you through vaccines Here’s a new one most people haven’t thought about: In addition to vaccines being used to spread infectious disease, they can also be used to inject humans with nano-crystals that are sized and tuned to resonate at certain frequencies, much like a radio crystal tunes in to a specific radio band. Such nano-crystals may lie dormant in the bodies of the general public for years or even decades, but at some point the government can take over the radio towers with an “emergency” national transmission that broadcasts an activation signal at precisely the right wavelength to excite the nano-crystals already in peoples’ bodies. The results could be anything from mass insanity to massive outbreaks of violence (rioting, etc.) or just tens of millions of people instantly dropping dead. Any of those outcomes could then be exploited by the government to sell a cover story of a “terrorist attack” that requires even more government control over the population. It could all be done in the name of “science” Remember, this collection of 10 points is about possible future technologies that exemplify the abuse of science to empower tyrannical governments and corrupt industries. Thankfully, these ten examples have not come true yet, but several are well on their way to become reality in just the next few years. Real science has an important role to play in any society, but I believe that science should serve the interests of the People , not the self-serving controllers who run globalist corporations and national governments. When science is used to dominate and enslave people rather than setting them free, it is a violation of one of the most fundamental truths throughout the universe: only through freedom (the freedom of ideas, freedom of questioning, freedom of discussion) can true understanding of our universe be achieved. NaturalNews salutes the real scientists out there who pursue the betterment of human civilization without punching a clock for all the evil corporations which abuse science for their own nefarious purposes.

Soda consumption linked to teen violence, study finds

(NaturalNews) A new study has found that teenagers who consume high amounts of sugary soda appear to be more prone towards violence than teenagers who consume less or no sugary soda. The more soda a teenager consumes, in other words, the more likely he or she is to show violent aggression towards classmates, a significant other, and even family members. David Hemenway, a professor at Harvard University’s School of Public, and his colleagues instructed a group of 1,878 public school students from inner-city Boston to fill out questionnaires about how much soda they had consumed in the previous seven days. The questionnaires also asked the students how often they carried weapons, consumed alcohol, smoked, and had a violent interaction with another person. The students, who ranged in age between 14 and 18, also answered other background questions about how often they ate meals with their families, and their race. After compiling the data and accounting for other outside factors, the research team discovered that soda intake was directly proportional to violence levels. “What we found was that there was a strong relationship between how many soft drinks that these inner-city kids consumed and how violent they were, not only in violence against peers but also violence in dating relationships, against siblings,” said Hemenway. “It was shocking to us when we saw how clear the relationship was.” The results showed that students who drank one or no cans of sugary soda a week were nearly half as likely as students who drank 14 cans a week to carry a gun or knife to school. The one or no soda group was also about half as likely to commit violence against a partner, or show violent aggression against peers, compared to the high-consumption group. “We don’t know why (there is a strong association),” added Hemenway. “There may be some causal effect but it’s also certainly plausible that this is just a marker for other problems — that kids who are violent for whatever reason, they tend to smoke more, they tend to drink more alcohol and they tend to maybe drink more soft drinks. We just don’t know.” Sources for this article include: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.a78af65cc128f522f558eaa64f38258c.3d1&show_article=1

Corporations are psychopaths – with zero degrees of empathy

(NaturalNews) Corporations play a big role in our day-to-day activities and they are constantly making decisions that have a profound effect on our daily lives. For example: a corporation makes the decision to empty its chemical vats into a nearby river – the water supply is poisoned and residents of the adjacent town fall sick; or a corporation makes the decision to cut costs to increase profits and initiates a round of layoffs – the community that was formed around the corporation is decimated. We have often been appalled, angry, and go on rants about the evil of corporations but according to Simon Baron Cohen- evil is not the issue. Mr. Baron-Cohen, an expert in autism and developmental psychology, is also a psychology and psychiatry professor at Cambridge University. For years he has spent considerable time researching why people commit vile and heinous acts. His theory? That a lack of empathy is the root cause of all evil deeds and that this lack of empathy can be measured and treated. (http://af.reuters.com/article/southAfricaNews/idAFLDE7430U720110505?sp=true) He defines empathy as the drive to identify another person’s thoughts and feelings combined with the drive to respond appropriately to those thoughts or feelings. Baron-Cohen goes onto note that the lack of empathy or failure to utilize it to its full potential is the driving force behind most of what ails our society on a global, domestic, community, and family unit scale. The abstract arenas of diplomatic, legal, and military channels are insufficient to appropriately deal with conflict because their involvement forgoes empathy from entering the picture on a true person-to-person level. In his books Baron-Cohen sets forth an empathy bell curve spectrum and quotient test that indicates where an individual will place along the curve. (Good news is that most of us fall right in the middle). There is a zero degree empathy range and within lay the psychopaths, narcissists, and individuals suffering with borderline personality disorders. Corporations are legislatively derived artificial individuals that can sue and be sued, raise funds, make political decisions, etc. They are headed by a Board of Directors that is by law duty bound to make decisions in the best interests of the corporation. Since corporations are businesses whose sole purpose is to make money, best interests are almost always those that increase profit, empathy be damned. http://apps.americanbar.org/buslaw/newsletter/0003/materials/tip3.pdf True, there are those corporate bodies, who while making a profit, strive to do no harm to society. However embedded deep within the zero degrees of that bell curve are corporations that seem to have made human suffering their side business. For instance, we have Monsanto, creators of Agent Orange, DDT, GMO, and a host of other toxic substances that have caused horrific damage and injury to the world on a global scale (http://www.lycos.com/info/monsanto–agent-orange.html). Firestone and their rubber plantations in Liberia which poison the environment, pay slave wages, and leave workers housed in unsanitary conditions (http://www.newsfromafrica.org/newsfromafrica/articles/art_10283.html). Nestle and their cocoa plantations in the Cote d’Ivoire which employs children, pays them slave wages, and keeps them living in substandard conditions (http://www.nestlecritics.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=1). Big Pharma and their concerted efforts to keep us purchasing medicines that either don’t work or cause more harm than good (http://www.naturalnews.com/031627_sickness_health_care.html). How about a corporation that has been accused of murdering individuals seeking to form unions to gain fair wages and treatment (http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/fellows/colombia0106/ ). And we have the lovely Chiquita that was actually fined by the U.S. Justice Department for funding a known para military group in Columbia that was infamous for the murder of innocent civilians. (http://www.thenation.com/article/para-politics-goes-bananas) Is there a criminal housed within any prison in the world or any mental institution that has committed the crimes noted above, whether the answer to that question yes or no, the fact of the matter is not one person involved in making any of the above decisions has served any jail time. By their very definition corporations forgo empathetic decision making because they are abstract beings. When making decisions that directly affect humanity empathy is a necessary ingredient. Take away the capacity for empathy and you are left with what we have today- psychopathy corporations spreading what we would deem to be evil all over the world. The corporate machine is a cold calculating one that makes decisions that solely pay homage to the bottom dollar with the well being and needs of the human race coming up a distant second – if at all. Imagine a world where corporations were held to the same moral standards as individuals. A world where profits could not be made to the detriment of the environment, where fair wages were paid on a global scale, where government leaders weren’t paid off by corporations to make decisions directly against the best wishes of the people they were elected to represent: Imagine a world where the corporate psychopaths were put to rest. 1. http://www.almostallthetruth.com/2010/10/nestle-sources-cocoa-from-the-labor-of-enslaved-children/ 2. http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/agentorange032102.cfm 3. http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/fellows/colombia0106/ 4. http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc/davids-letter.pdf 5. http://www.naturalnews.com/028194_Scott_Reuben_research_fraud.html

Is lithium the next fluoride? Medication may be added to the water supply

(NaturalNews) Lithium, the psychiatric drug prescribed for depression, mania and bipolar disorder, is now being viewed as the new fluoride by some experts. These experts are calling for the addition of lithium to the water supply as a cure-all for social problems, including suicide, violent crime and drug use. Lithium is the new fluoride Dr. Gerald Schrauzer, who published the first paper in 1989 connecting lithium in water supplies to a decrease in certain undesirable social behaviors, became interested in lithium after growing up next to a “miracle spring” in Franzensbad, Czechoslovakia. This lithium-containing spring was alleged to moderate the temperaments of women in particular. For centuries, people worldwide have been attracted to springs like these for their calming benefits, and scientists have since found the benefits to be credited to unusually high natural lithium levels. Of course this is how the addition of fluoride to the water supply came about. It was discovered that people with “Colorado Brown Stain” or “Texas Teeth”, names that described a mottling and staining of the tooth enamel (http://www.fluoridealert.org/dental-fluorosis.htm), lived in areas in Colorado and Texas that had higher naturally occurring levels of fluoride (http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2009-11-27/921482/). It was believed that the naturally occurring fluoride in the water made the enamel of the teeth harder and more resistant to cavities, so it was suggested that fluoride be distributed through the water supply to benefit public health (http://www.fluoridealert.org/cdc.htm). Unfortunately, we now know that “Colorado Brown Stain” and “Texas Teeth” were cases of dental fluorosis, which can cause pitting and decay of teeth in its severe form, and may actually cause them to be structurally weaker (http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/teeth/fluorosis/moderate-severe.html). 41 percent of American adolescents now suffer from this fluoride induced condition (http://www2.fluoridealert.org/Alert/United-States/National/Fluoridegate-and-Fluoride-Litigation-What-law-firms-need-to-know-about-fluoride-toxic-tort-actions). The argument for it Proponents of lithium in the water supply claim that it has compelling benefits. A 2009 study across 18 communities in Japan showed that those with higher levels of naturally occurring fluoride were significantly less vulnerable to suicide. A study from this year corroborated the findings, showing that 4 to 15 percent of the variation in suicides across 99 counties in Austria was due to lithium content in regional water supplies. “As a matter of empirical science, this connection between water-based lithium and suicide is absolutely becoming widely accepted,” said Jacob Appel, a psychiatrist and bioethicist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “The research, when one of a scientific persuasion reads it, is compelling — even if it might be jaw-dropping.” If the research continues to show good results, Appel sees America as a possible first candidate for implementation, citing as a precedent how easily genetically modified and fortified foods have been both approved by the U.S. government and accepted by American consumers. The public is not buying it It seems that experts who put forward the notion of adding lithium to the water supply often encounter harsh and sometimes violent feedback. Dr. Allan Young, a psychiatry professor at Imperial College in London who published a 2009 commentary on the subject, received a handful of death threats and was likened to a Nazi. He also received 500 vitriolic emails after publishing an article on The Huffington Post, several of which were so provocative that they caused him to contact the authorities. But even experts enthusiastic about adding lithium to the water supply caution about unintended consequences. First, it is still not clear how lithium affects the brain and, second, there is also the consideration of possible personality changes within the recipient. “Lithium certainly dampens impulsivity, which would explain how it dampens suicide rates,” Young said. “But at a population level, what if that impulsivity is being directed in a healthy way — the person jumping onto the subway tracks to save a life?” Adding lithium to the water supply could also have the unintended consequence of widespread personality homogenization, according to Peter Kramer, a psychiatrist at Brown Medical School. “When you change these resilience factors in the brain, you see other changes too, People are less timid and shy, for example,” Kramer said. “But maybe people want the right not to have these subtle changes taking place, without making the choice for themselves.” Freedom of choice To begin with, psychology does not always have the best track record with mental health solutions, particularly when it comes to prescription medications, as evidenced by the implication of antidepressants in suicides and school shootings. (http://www.naturalnews.com/025826_Antidepressants_school_shootings.html) But there is a much more obvious problem. Dr. Paul Connett, director of Fluoride Action Network, has been fighting to get fluoride out of the water in the remaining 2 percent of countries worldwide that still fluoridate, and one of the major arguments against adding fluoride, or any drug — lithium included, to the water supply is that you cannot control the dose that any one person will get. Connett argues that, to mass medicate in this way, the government would need to ensure that the dose for every individual in the society was at such a level that it would be safe and completely non-toxic — this means accommodating an adequately safe dose for everyone including infants to large males or different races, ethnicities, ages and sexes (http://austintx.swagit.com/player.php?refid=05182011-21). If it were even possible to arrive at such a dosage, Connett argues that such a policy would violate informed consent because those drinking the water are not being made aware of the risks associated with the drug and do not have the right to opt out if they do not wish to assume those risks.

Scientists push to implement edible RFID tracking chips in food

(NaturalNews) It will monitor your calorie intake, show from where your food was sourced, and even let you know when the food in your fridge is about to go bad — these are some of the enticing claims made by the developers of a new system that embeds edible radio frequency identification (RFID) chips directly into food. Its creators insist the technology will revolutionize the way humans eat for the better, but critical-thinking onlookers will recognize the ploy as just another way to track and control human behavior. Developed by Hannes Harms from the Royal College of Art in London, the “NutriSmart” system is based on the idea that RFID wafers injected directly into food can help better track the food supply chain, further automate the supermarket shopping experience, and simplify the eating experience by programming data into food so that humans essentially do not have to think about what they are doing. The technology makes both eating and dealing with food in general mindless, as a person simply needs to plop an RFID-embedded food item onto a special RFID-laced plate, which then tells the person all about the item and how much of it to eat. RFID ovens and microwaves also eliminate having to think about how long to cook an RFID food item — simply put it in the RFID microwave, oven, or toaster, and the machine will know exactly how long to cook the item. As interesting and novel as this might sound, such technology is actually quite frightening when taken to its logical ends. NaturalNews previously warned that mad scientists have already developed edible RFID tags for use in pharmaceutical drugs (http://www.naturalnews.com/028663_health_care_technology.html). These tags, of course, can and will likely be used to monitor patients’ compliance with doctors orders, and alert authorities if a patient refuses to take certain pills as prescribed. And if such technology also ends up in food, it is safe to assume that evil powers will seek to control the food supply with it, as well as monitor the types of food people eat. In other words, if authorities one day decide that vitamin and mineral supplements are off limits, which is what is currently happening in Europe (http://www.naturalnews.com/032389_herbal_remedies_Europe.html), it is plausible that RFID technology can assess illegal intake of such nutrients, and immediately send this data to the appropriate enforcement agencies. This 1984-esque scenario appears to be more than just science fiction — it is unfolding before our eyes just a little bit more every single day. And the NutriSmart system is just another piece of evidence that those in power wish to micromanage every single aspect of our lives, from the drugs we take to the foods we eat.

The reality of reincarnation (Opinion)

(NaturalNews) When speaking of reincarnation we are speaking of a person transmigrating from one form of life to another form of life. Obviously, a physical body cannot move into another physical body. So it means that after the death of one body there is something that continues to exist and it is not the material body. At death, the person leaves the body, the body starts to decay and everybody who was relating to that person who was in that body, starts crying and gets very unhappy. Why? Because the person they were relating to has left. To understand the science of transmigration of the soul means understanding that the person or living being who was in that body has left that body and if they are not purified spiritually, will now enter into another gross material body. From the above brief explanation we can understand that the living being is the soul, temporarily encased within a material body. Anyone can understand that consciousness is spread all over the body. We are all conscious of the pains and pleasures of the body in part or as a whole. What pleasures and pains each of us experiences is unknown to another. Therefore, each and every body is the embodiment of an individual soul, and the symptom of the soul’s presence is perceived as individual consciousness. Living entities in lower species of life exhibit less consciousness that those in the highest form of life, the human, which exhibits greater consciousness. The point being that when the body dies, you do not die. It’s like a suit of clothes. When your clothes become old and torn you throw them away, but that doesn’t mean that you no longer exist. In the Bible it says that the material body is like a house that the soul or person temporarily resides in. With regard to belief or disbelief, it’s not difficult to understand. The body is constantly changing. All the cells die, the molecules change and presto, you have a new body. It has been documented that every seven years all the cells in the body become new ones. So the body you had when you were three years old is long gone but you are not. This means that the material particles that are making up your body now are not the same material particles that made it up previously. But, there is a substance, which has continuity and continues to exist even though your body kept changing. If you look at a picture of yourself 20 or 30 years ago you can understand that although that body in the picture is not the body you are wearing now, you still exist. This is evidence of transmigration: from baby body to boyhood body to youth body to man body to middle age body to old age body and so on. Then there’s the confusion that we are the mind. But the mind is actually a subtle material body. In the same way that the material body is always changing, so is the mind. And who is the person watching the mind change? You! Did you ever try to control you mind? Did you ever say, “I changed my mind”? What happened? Total frustration, that’s what happened. What do you do when your mind is driving you crazy? You try, to no avail, to control it. Or, you try to make your mind blank and think about nothing. Riiiiight! The point here is whether you try to make your mind blank, or you try to move you mind in one direction or another, or you can or you cannot; it is something other than the mind that is trying to do all of this. And that is you, the soul that is the witness of the mind. So then, how does the mind figure in the process of the transmigration of the soul? The soul leaves the gross material body but is still covered by the subtle material body, like the material desires and the recordings on the mind of the impressions, which are made on the mind from past experiences in the previous body. For example, you have many central experiences. You see a bird and by your eyes seeing that bird, that leaves an impression on your mind of the form of the bird. All of these forms and all of these subtle images and material desires are still covering the soul. In other words it is the subtle body, the material mind that is still covering the soul. When the soul leaves the gross body, this covering makes it so that the soul takes on another gross material body. The subtle material body, the mind, is a nucleus around which the gross material body develops. So, if the mind is still in existence when the soul leaves the body and all that stored information is not erased and the soul is still covered by the subtle body, which is the material mind, that means that I should be able to remember my past lives because I still have the same mind or that information is still there? Yet, I cannot remember my past lives. Does that mean there were no past lives? Well, despite not remembering my birth in this lifetime I still know that I was born. I can’t remember leaving the womb nor can I remember being in the womb but I know that I was. It is nature’s arrangement that our memories are imperfect. Some people spend all kinds of money to go back to remember past lives. What’s the value? There are 8,400,000 species of life in the material world of varying bodies. What value would it be to know what kind of animal or flower or microbial creature you were? An intelligent person will not be enamored with the mysticism of it all but rather, will seek a solution to stopping the process. Actually many people do not recognize that it is a problem for the living entity who is eternal by nature, to be bound up in the temporary, finite, material dimension, having to undergo repeated birth, diseases, old age and death. As such, they fail to see this as a suffering condition. To put is another way, the activities one cultivates in his or her lifetime has a definite bearing on the life they take on next time around. For example, a dog eats, sleeps, mates and defends. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? What sets us apart from the dog is the cultivation of consciousness. It means being in the world but not of the world. That means turning to God and using the world for His pleasure. To put it another way, the point is to develop an attachment for God, or God consciousness. If you’re attached to God and do everything for Him, you’ll automatically be detached from the world. Then the question of coming back to the material world is then non-existent. And since your consciousness will be directed toward God you will go to Him when you leave your body. It is said that we all began in God’s spiritual world. Due to our envy of God’s enjoyment He sends us to the material world, which is full of suffering and false enjoyment, to fulfill our desires to act like God and try to enjoy our senses to the fullest. Even though we are constantly unfulfilled, depressed and miserable, we try harder to enjoy our senses and create more and more frustration. True happiness is found when we link back up with Him and affords us the opportunity to not have to come back to the material world when we leave our bodies. Namaste!

Texas may criminalize TSA pat-downs as molestation (opinion)

(NaturalNews) Texas is a fiercely independent-minded state, and it also turns out that Texans are tired of being sexually molested by government agents at the airport. That’s why Texas State Congressman Rep. David Simpson decided to do something about it: He sponsored a bill which makes it a crime for security agents to touch “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person,” even though clothing. Well, gee, then that basically scraps the entire TSA playbook of tyranny. If they can’t touch your anus, sex organs and breasts, then I guess they’ll just have to go back home and touch themselves instead. Along those lines, a TSA agent was recently arrested for distributing child pornography: http://www.newsroomamerica.com/story/122369.html Can Texas resist federal tyranny? This is shaping up to be a highly entertaining showdown between Texas-minded freedom and federal government tyrants masquerading as security officers. I can’t wait to see a group of Texas Sheriffs marching in to the airport, arresting TSA agents, and throwing them in the local jail for touching the crotch of a 3-year-old baby while they were checking for poop bombs . An actual poop bomb search was recently conducted by TSA agents at the Kansas City airport, by the way: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1385207/Baby-bomb-threat-Outrage-toddler-given-frisking-TSA-agents.html It turns out the little terrorists really were hiding bombs up their anus, but not the kind of bombs the TSA was hoping to find. It’s a masterpiece of comedy, actually: Infant minds searching an infant anus to find an infant poop bomb. It must give these TSA workers a real sense of satisfaction to know they’re keeping the skies safe from the contents of the average baby’s diapers. I suppose if the government finally shuts down the TSA now that Bin Laden is dead, they can always get new jobs as nannies. Babies and their explosives Just so you know how serious these TSA agents are at protecting our safety, pay attention to a recent baby-related incident that took place at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas. There, TSA agents confiscated a baby juice box and some baby food because they found traces of explosives on the items. And just to be extra cautious, they decided no further testing was necessary and they ushered the parents on through the security line as if nothing had happened. So it seems the one time they actually did find traces of explosives didn’t matter much to them anyway. Except now the TSA agents in Dallas get to share a baby juice box amongst each other to complement their usual diet of coffee and donuts. But in Texas, at least, TSA agents may soon find themselves thrown in jail for violating what should be recognized as a principle of basic human decency: That no government agent can pat down your breasts, fondle your crotch, touch your junk or otherwise play with your private parts as part of a search procedure — even with the backs of their hands. And truthfully, your average TSA worker is probably better suited to working at Wal-Mart or McDonalds rather than in any sort of security role. This is one government department (among many) that needs to be seriously downsized. And why not just fire them all right now? After all, wasn’t the Bin Laden mastermind the very reason we created to the TSA in the first place? Well now Bin Laden is dead, so that must mean the skies are safer. So let’s take advantage of this development and bring back a little dignity to the United States of America. The TSA’s real mission: Humiliate the sheeple You have to wonder: Why does the federal government resist the idea that travelers should have dignity in the first place? Why are the feds so insistent that the American people must be humiliated as part of their security pat-downs? For those who follow the alternative media, you already know the answer: It’s an indoctrination program, not a security program. And the purpose is to get all the sheeple used to idea of government agents dehumanizing you in front of other people by forcing you to take off some of your clothes while they reach down your pants and feel your crotch. What’s really hilarious in all this is that most Americans don’t resist! The sheeple have been well trained, it seems, and a surprisingly large percentage of them actually believe the TSA’s sexually perverted security procedures are somehow making air travel safer. Nine out of ten Americans do whatever they’re told by apparent authorities, without asking questions. In any case, Texas may soon be the only state where you can walk through the airport without leaving your dignity in the hands of some TSA perv. And that’s probably as good a reason as any to considering visiting the state, where independent thinking still thankfully exists.

Radiation disease – here are the symptoms and causes

(NaturalNews) What does radiation do to us? It burns the cells, kind of like burning down a house. It is well known that radiation burns our cells by creating too much free radical damage. Now of course this is like talking Greek to medical officials and professors because if they knew this they would be on the bullhorn telling the public what to do to minimize free radical damage. You really do not want to get sick from radiation exposure and that is why the supreme rule in dealing with radiation is to avoid exposure. You want to move as far away from the danger as possible and you surely do not want to eat radioactively-contaminated foods. There is great individual variation in how people respond to radiation and the process is not fully understood . If you are feeling sick from radiation exposures, be assured this is not a figment of your imagination. Radiation syndrome, radiation toxicity, radiation illness and/or radiation damage will make you and your children very ill possibly to the point of causing death in one of a number of different ways. The New York Times says, “Experts hesitate to predict where the radiation will go. Once harmful radioactive elements are released into the outdoors, their travel patterns are as mercurial as the weather and as complicated as the food chains and biochemical pathways along which they move. When and where radioactive contamination becomes a problem depends on a vast array of factors: the specific element released, which way the wind is blowing, whether rain will bring suspended radioactivity to earth, and what types of crops and animals are in an exposed area. Research related to the 1986 Chernobyl accident makes clear that for decades, scientists will be able to detect the presence of radioactive particles released by the crippled Japanese reactors thousands of miles away .” The CDC tells us: The first symptoms of ARS are typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms will start within minutes to days after the exposure, will last from minutes to up to several days, and may come and go. Then the person usually looks and feels healthy for a short time, after which he or she will become sick again with loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and possibly even seizures and coma. This stage of serious illness may last from a few hours to several months. People with ARS typically also have some skin damage. This damage can start to show within a few hours after exposure and can include swelling, itching, and redness of the skin (like a bad sunburn). There can also be hair loss. As with the other symptoms, the skin may heal for a short time, followed by the return of swelling, itching, and redness days or weeks later. Complete healing of the skin may take from several weeks up to a few years depending on the radiation dose the person’s skin received. The chance of survival for people with ARS decreases with increasing radiation dose. Most people who do not recover from ARS will die within several months of exposure. The cause of death in most cases is the destruction of the person’s bone marrow, which results in infections and internal bleeding. For the survivors, the recovery process may last from several weeks up to two years. There are many types of radiation exposures we can be confronted with, such as X-ray exams that are seemingly harmless or cancer radiation therapy that may result in nausea, anemia, hemorrhaging and fibrosis. Getting CAT scans and PET scans involving the injection of radioactive dyes and other substances for medical diagnostic purposes results in exposure to very high levels of radiation. Even living at high altitudes or taking frequent airplane flights results in higher exposure to ionizing radiation. Living near a nuclear power plant, a coal-burning plant or an old government radiation testing ground (such as in Nevada or New Mexico) exposes you higher than normal levels of radiation. If you’ve worked in uranium mining, uranium or plutonium processing or in weapons manufacturing, your contaminant exposure is definitely above normal and ill effects are not far behind. Plenty of Gulf War veterans have been exposed to “depleted uranium” military sources and believe strongly that their health problems are due to this exposure. Working at a nuclear power plant, in a submarine, or with certain types of diagnostic medical equipment are all ways to become sick from radiation exposure even if there is not an accident. “If you don’t heal yourself of the effects of radiation exposure and if you don’t bind radioactive particles and flush them out of your body if you’ve ingested them, then they’ll just stay there and slowly work at destroying your health. Eventually you will succumb to unexplained symptoms of fatigue, lethargy, a weakened immune system, tumors, unexplained illnesses, anemia, excessive bleeding, genetic damage, cancer, leukemia, cataracts, or possibly having children with severe birth defects. You can develop all sorts of conditions that just don’t seem to respond to medicine … and for which there doesn’t seem to be any explanation,” writes William Bodri . If you have been exposed to radiation fallout you will know it through a change in your health status. If the levels are extraordinarily high then people all around you will be feeling and sharing similar changes and discomforts including: -Nausea and vomiting -Diarrhea -Skin burns (skin reddening) -Weakness -Lethargy and fatigue -Loss of appetite (anorexia) -Fainting -Dehydration -Inflammation of tissues (swelling, redness or tenderness) -Hemorrhages under the skin -Bleeding from your nose, gums or mouth -Anemia (low red blood cell count) -Hair loss (usually from just the scalp) -Decrease in platelets Nausea and vomiting are typically the earliest symptoms of radiation sickness. The higher the dose of radiation, the sooner these symptoms appear — and the worse the prognosis. Someone who starts to vomit within one hour of exposure is likely to die. Sometimes people with radiation sickness feel bad at first and then start to feel better. But often new and more serious symptoms appear within hours, days, or even a few weeks of this “latent” stage. You are going to want to learn the secrets of what I call “Natural Allopathic Medicine” in order to protect yourself and your loved ones from unexpected exposure to radiation. The heart of the protocol employs the use of heavyweight medicines used in emergency rooms. Radiation sickness can cause bleeding from the nose, mouth, gums, and rectum. It can cause people to bruise easily and to bleed internally as well — and even to vomit blood. The problems occur because radiation depletes the body of platelets, the cellular fragments in the blood that are form clots to control bleeding. So behind the mighty mallet of Arm &a Hammer baking soda we bring in some other superhero emergency room medicines like magnesium chloride, iodine and vitamin C. We quickly assemble a nutritional arsenal of superfoods and super-concentrated naturally made medicinals like an omega-3s, spirulina- and chlorella-based nutritional food formulas, get some heavy metal natural chelator products, and pump in glutathione through a number of different avenues. Dealing with radiation or heavy metal poisoning is tricky to say the least. Some people can manage massive amounts of it with no ill effects, others can’t. The severity of symptoms and illness (acute radiation sickness) depends on the type and amount of radiation, how long you were exposed, and which part of the body was exposed. Symptoms of radiation sickness may occur immediately after exposure, or over the next few days, weeks, or months. Not everyone is going to die or even get sick from a given level of exposure . Because it is difficult to determine the amount of radiation exposure from nuclear accidents, the best measure of the severity of the exposure are: the length of time between the exposure and the onset of symptoms, the severity of symptoms, and severity of changes in white blood cells. If a person vomits less than an hour after being exposed, that usually means the radiation dose received is very high and death may be expected. Radiation “targets” cells in the body that reproduce rapidly — and that includes cells that line the intestinal tract. Radiation sickness causes major irritation of the intestinal lining, resulting in severe and sometimes bloody diarrhea. Radiation can travel quickly in air currents. Students from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY measured radiation fallout in New York during atomic bomb testing over Nevada desert (2,300 miles away). Just a few hours after the explosion the students reported that the average radiation readings in nearby towns were 20-100 times higher. Radiation fallout travels quickly and is therefore dangerous. A spokesman for the Geneva-based U.N. health agency said contaminated food poses a greater long-term risk to residents’ health than radioactive particles in the air, which disperse within days. It was the strongest statement yet from the world body on radiation risks to ordinary people rather than nuclear workers. “They’re going to have to make some decisions quickly in Japan to shut down and completely stop food from being used from zones they feel might be affected,” Gregory Hartl told the Associated Press. “Repeated consumption of certain products is going to intensify risks, as opposed to radiation in the air that happens once and then the first time it rains there’s no longer radiation in the air. A week ago we were more concerned about the radiation leakages and possible explosion of the nuclear facility itself, but now other issues are getting more attention including the food safety issue.” The initial symptoms reported by the Japanese and (later by American) observers were the loss of hair from the scalp, bleeding into the skin, inflammation of the mouth and throat, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Nausea and vomiting that appeared within a few hours after the explosion were frequently noted and while the vomiting usually subsided by the following morning, occasionally it continued for 2-3 more days. Diarrhea of varying degrees of severity was also observed and in severe cases, it was frequently bloody. Radiation sickness can cause people to feel weak and out of sorts — almost like having a bad version of the flu. It can dramatically reduce the number of red blood cells, causing anemia and increased risk of fainting. There were also observations of lesions of the gums, the oral mucous membrane, and the throat — these areas usually became deep red in color and in many instances began ulcerating and dying (necrosis) as the tissues began to break down. Leucopenia (low-white-blood-cell counts) were found on blood testing with extreme cases falling below 1,000 (normal levels are around 7,000). The syndromes of acute radiation illness can be divided into three categories based on the amount of radiation dosage in total. The gray (symbol: Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose of ionizing radiation and is defined as the absorption of one joule of ionizing radiation by one kilogram of matter (usually human tissue). It is interesting to note that in radiation therapy, the amount of radiation varies depending on the type and stage of cancer being treated. For curative cases, the typical dose for a solid epithelial tumor ranges from 60 to 80 Gy, while lymphomas are treated with 20-40 Gy. Preventive (adjuvant) doses are typically around 45-60 Gy in 1.8-2 Gy fractions (for breast, head, and neck cancers). Along with red cells, radiation sickness can reduce the risk of infection-fighting white cells in the body. As a result, the risk of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections is heightened. The average radiation dose from an abdominal X-ray is 1.4 mGy, that from an abdominal CT scan is 8.0 mGy, that from a pelvic CT scan is 25 mGy, and that from a selective CT scan of the abdomen and the pelvis is 30 mGy. It is again interesting to note that an abdominal and pelvic CT scan can cause symptoms similar to the category of cerebrovascular syndrome, even though this radiation exposure is supposed to be therapeutic. The three categories are as follows: The cerebrovascular (brain) syndrome – This is when the total dose of radiation is extremely high, exceeding 20-30 Gy. A person with cerebrovascular (brain) syndrome rapidly develops confusion, nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and shock. Within hours their blood pressure falls due to heart and circulatory damage, accompanied by the inability to coordinate gait, seizures and coma. Patients often die within hours (usually within the first two days) after severe radiation exposure. In particular, the cerebrovascular syndrome has 3 phases: the first period of nausea and vomiting; then listlessness, drowsiness, apathy and confusion; and finally, tremors, convulsions, seizures, coma, with death usually within a few hours. Since the cerebrovascular syndrome is always fatal, treatment is geared toward providing comfort by relieving pain, anxiety, and breathing difficulties. The gastrointestinal syndrome occurs when the radiation dose is smaller but still high, and is due to the effects of radiation on the cells lining the digestive tract. Doses in the 10-20 Gy range affect the intestines, stripping their lining and leading to death within three months due to causes of vomiting, diarrhea, starvation, and infection. Victims receiving 6-10 Gy all at once usually escape an intestinal death, but instead face bone marrow failure and death within two months from loss of blood coagulation factors and the protection against infection provided by white blood cells. The symptoms of people suffering from gastrointestinal syndrome include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that can lead to severe dehydration, diminished blood plasma volume and vascular collapse that can result in death within 3-10 days. Severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea begin 2-12 hours after exposure to 4 Gy or more of radiation and the symptoms may lead to severe dehydration, but they usually resolve themselves after two days. After this period of feeling well, severe diarrhea (often bloody) returns, once more producing a state of dehydration. As the intestines deteriorate, the bacteria inhabiting the digestive tract start to invade the rest of the body producing severe infections. People with the gastrointestinal syndrome require intravenous fluids and sedatives. They need to be kept isolated so that they do not contact infectious microorganisms. Oral antibiotics, such as neomycin, are given to kill intestinal bacteria that may invade the body and antifungal and antiviral drugs are also given intravenously when necessary. Radiation sickness can cause visible ulcers in or on the mouth. In addition, ulcers often form in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The hematopoietic syndrome is caused by the effects of radiation on the bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes, which are the primary sites of blood cell production (hematopoiesis). The hematopoietic syndrome is characterized by loss of appetite, apathy, lethargy, nausea and vomiting that usually begin 2-12 hours after exposure to 2 Gy or more of radiation and may be maximal within 6-12 hours from this yet smaller radiation exposure. The symptoms typically subside completely within 24-36 hours after the exposure, and the person typically feels well for a week or more. However, during this symptom-free period the lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow begin to waste away leading to a severe shortage of white blood cells, which are the body’s main defense against infection, followed by a shortage of platelets and then red blood cells. This is the critical point where the person needs to be supported nutritionally to build blood cells and increase immunity, otherwise many hematopoietic patients die within 30-60 days after exposure. Once again, the early symptoms of ARS typically involve nausea, vomiting, headache and diarrhea which will start within minutes to days after the exposure, last for minutes up to several days, and may come and go. The person will usually look and feel healthy for a short time — mistakenly thinking they are all well — after which they will become sick again with loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and possibly even seizures and coma. This seriously ill stage may last from a few hours up to several months. Areas of skin exposed to radiation may turn blister and turn red — almost like severe sunburn. In some cases open sores form. The skin may even slough off. For all the references, sources and more articles on radiation and chemical toxicity please visit Dr. Mark Sircus blog .
