Steroid use among police officers a widespread problem

(NaturalNews) Professional athletes are not the only prominent members of society with major drug problems. According to a recent report by AOL News, as many as 25 percent or more of police officers are regularly take steroid drugs, which has led to a rise in the number of assaults and other cases of “roid rage” occurring against citizens by those in law enforcement. Lawrence Payne, a spokesman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently told AOL News that steroid use among cops is a “big problem” and that “it’s something we shouldn’t ignore.” After all, numerous investigations have revealed an alarmingly high rate of use, including an investigation in New Jersey that pinned 248 cops and 53 firefighters with steroid use. Former South Bend police officer Tony Macik, for instance, served a 300-day jail sentence for dealing steroids and assaulting one of his wife’s co-workers, an incident likely related to steroid use (http://www.wndu.com/localnews/headlines/65619597.html). And an 84-year-old Florida man who suffered a broken neck after being tackled by Officer Travis Lamont from the Orlando Police Department says that Lamont’s “erratic, sporadic and aggressive behavior” was indicative of steroid use (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/state/lawyer-wanted-orlando-officer-tested-for-steroids-after-956680.html). And there are countless other cases of both steroid use and possession among officers across the country. But because most people are unaware of it, little is being done to stop the practice. Officers are not necessarily even required to undergo drug testing, and some departments say that forcing officers to get tested for drugs after they assault citizens violates their rights. According to Larry Gaines, chairman of the Department of Criminal Justice at California State University, San Bernardino, steroid use has escalated among police officers largely due to increased emphasis on strength and fitness. And because officers are not in the limelight in the same way that professional athletes are, most of society remains clueless and unconcerned about the resulting widespread negative effects.

Elizabeth Edwards joins long list of victims killed by chemotherapy

(NaturalNews) Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, died this week following a six-year chemical assault on her body from cancer doctors. Ravaged by the effects of toxic poisons known as “chemotherapy,” Elizabeth even cursed the chemotherapy drugs before she died, saying, “Damn these drugs.” Chemotherapy drugs are derived from chemical weapons used in World War I . They are so toxic that doctors and pharmacists get cancer just from handling chemotherapy drugs (http://www.naturalnews.com/029191_secondhand_chemotherapy_cancer.html). Cancer doctors destroyed Elizabeth’s health for six years and then abandoned her, saying that “further treatment would be unproductive.” This is how conventional cancer doctors operate: They poison your body, take your money, and when it turns out they’ve nearly killed you, they just stop treating you and tell you to go home and die . Despite being “treated” by chemotherapy, Elizabeth’s breast cancer spread to her bones in 2007. Even with more “treatments” offered by conventional cancer doctors, cancer continued to spread to her spine, skull and legs. Like millions of other cancer sufferers, Elizabeth was never told the truth about cancer by her doctors. What truth? That there is a cure for cancer. In fact, there are many cures for cancer. Conventional medicine doesn’t believe in any of them. Rather than curing patients, traditional oncologists poison them with deadly chemicals and call it “treatment.” In just the last few years, the cancer industry has killed Patrick Swayze, Farrah Fawcett (http://www.naturalnews.com/026511_cancer_chemotherapy_doctors.html), and numerous other celebrities who sadly bet their lives on a corrupt, fraudulent cancer industry run by quacks. Those people paid for their misplaced trust with their lives. Chemotherapy is not medicine . And the cancer industry is a for-profit industry that thrives on the continued existence of the disease. The cancer industry is not interested in actually curing cancer . Treating people is just too darned profitable to make any serious effort to stop the disease.

TSA agents and Nazi war criminals (comic)

(NaturalNews) Some apologists are now attempting to defend the lewd, obscene behavior of TSA agents by claiming “they’re just doing their jobs.” This is the exact same quote that was used by Nazi war criminals to justify their treatment of Jewish concentration camp prisoners; or by Japanese soldiers who raped and pillaged Chinese villages in World War II; or even by government hit men throughout history who have killed innocents because their bosses told them to. “I’m just doing my job” is the excuse of the weak-minded. It is a desperate attempt to shift responsibility for one’s actions to someone else and therefore take on the actions of a mindless, immoral automaton who is incapable of independent thought. Throughout history, countless atrocities and war crimes have been conducted under the excuse of “I’m just doing my job.” To hear it now cited in the United States of America is a worrisome red flag that we are headed into an era where rational thought is being overrun by fear mongering idiots. Individual human beings have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect their fellow countrymen (and women) In the real world, the excuse of “just doing my job” doesn’t cut it. U.S. government workers have a personal and patriotic responsibility to ensure that their actions do not deprive American citizens of their Constitutional rights. A U.S. government employee who engages in behavior that violates the rights of American citizens — even if ordered to do so — is himself guilty of those violations under civil law (and perhaps criminal law, depending on the violation). Rep Ron Paul attempted to make this simple point obvious to everyone by proposing a law that would end the immunity of TSA agents who violate the rights of private citizens. As he reasoned in his now-famous “Enough is Enough!” speech (http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=29ADB2913D928C19D8E7E945B932232B), Ron Paul explained that if it is illegal for a private citizen to sexually molest you, it should also be illegal for a government official to molest you, too. And yet, astonishingly, some members of the blogger community — as well as a few members of the popular press — are excusing these actions based on the pathetic explanation that these TSA agents “are just doing their jobs.” Would they be equally supportive if those TSA agents were ordered to conduct body cavity searches on all passengers as part of “just doing their jobs?” How about if they decided to go house to house, rounding up people they didn’t like and throwing them in “reeducation camps” are part of doing their jobs? Is that acceptable, too? Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it Anyone who excuses these actions as “just doing their jobs” is, quite frankly, hopelessly ignorant about world history and the atrocities that have been committed against innocent people under precisely this treacherous phrase. Every Nazi soldier who gassed a Jewish prisoner was “just doing his job” too. That doesn’t make it right. The fact that a crime is committed by an employee of a government does not grant that employee de facto immunity against such crimes. Might does not make right, in other words. If we are to live in a world of freedom, justice and compassion for our fellow human beings, we must exist under a system of law that applies equally to all men and women. No particular group of workers can be allowed to commit obscene crimes against the American people merely because they receive a paycheck from the government itself. To allow this behavior is to tolerate tyranny and grant the government permission to further expand its Constitutional violations against the American people. To really drive this point home, consider the following: If “Bob” hires “John” to molest the wife and children of some U.S. Senator, for example, is that okay merely because John is “doing his job?” Of course not. The fact that a paycheck is involved does not nullify the need for human beings to act with personal ethics and common sense. Now, how about if the U.S. government hires John to molest the wife and children of air travelers? Is that okay because John is “just doing his job?” Of course not. The identity of the employer does not change the ethics of the situation. One human being engaging in lewd, sexual touching of another human being without their invitation and consent is a criminal act, regardless of who signs the paychecks. And to require people to submit to such molestation under the threat of gunpoint arrest at the airports is even worse because it is a coerced crime against innocents. Who’s going to say no when they’re afraid of being arrested at gunpoint, handcuffed to a chair and interrogated for several hours? This whole point seems so obvious to me (and to most people who have ethics) that it’s bewildering we even have to bother explaining it to the apologists who try to defend this highly inappropriate (and criminal) behavior on the part of the TSA. Maybe we should take these people back in a time machine and show them the horrors of Nazi Germany, or the Vietnam War, or the atrocities committed by the soldiers of Stalin or Mao — and then see if they still think the phrase “I’m just doing my job” is a valid excuse for committing crimes against innocent people. Because I don’t know about you, but I’m never “just doing my job.” I’m always thinking about what’s right. I’m constantly making choices about ethics and morality. I’m questioning everything I’m told and measuring things against an internal moral standard that I’m always working to improve each day. Now, I’m not perfect, and I’ve made mistakes in my life, but I’ve never been so stupid as to think that I could hide behind the pathetic excuse of saying “I’m just doing my job.” That phrase is the proclamation of the pitiful. It is the surrender-cry of the mentally deficient. And it is a blatant admission of one’s own moral ineptitude in a world where right and wrong are often pretty simple to figure out. Reaching down the pants and feeling up some little kid in the context of “anti-terrorism” is morally wrong. This isn’t a complicated realization. It’s just basic common sense. Any TSA agent that had any sense at all would simply refuse to engage in such behaviors. If fired from his job, he could sue the TSA for requiring him to commit crimes in the line of duty. Of course, all this assumes anybody has common sense left at all. And I’m no longer sure that’s the case. In fact, I was thinking the TSA might better serve the country by reconfiguring their naked body scanners to be common sense detectors . And the next time we hold an election for President, we should require everybody to show they carry some common sense before they’re allowed to start punching chads.

TSA feels inside underwear of female ABC News employee

(NaturalNews) TSA agents, always looking to increase their reach (quite literally), are now reaching down the pants and into the underwear of female travelers. This is what happened to an ABC News employee, who described the experience as “worse than going to the gynecologist.” In an ABC News story, this ABC News employee went on to say, “It was embarrassing. It was demeaning. It was inappropriate.” (http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/tsa-responds-passenger-outrages-underwear-search-happen/story?id=12208932) TSA head says everything’s great! TSA head John Pistole, however, said the current system is working just as it was intended to work, and he refuses to back down on any changes (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-21/tsa-chief-says-physical-checks-at-u-s-airports-will-continue.html). This means travelers can expect to continue to be subjected to these ionizing radiation scans (naked body scanners) as well as obscene X-rated pat-downs for the foreseeable future. Apparently, the TSA feels it is entirely appropriate to feel your crotch, palm your breasts and even reach into your pants — and you’re supposed to just sit there and tolerate all this like good little sheeple . In doing this, however, they are offending not just the patriots and freedom-oriented people in America; they’re also feeling up members of the press! And that’s a huge mistake because now all of a sudden the mainstream media is realizing this is no joke . This molestation of passengers is happening to them, too! Suddenly it’s all very “real” to the MSM, you see. In their minds, it’s not just a bunch of conspiracy theorists yacking about this; now it’s an ABC News employee. Now they know this is really happening, and it’s really terrorizing innocent Americans who are merely trying to travel. This is why I like Ron Paul’s suggestion (http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=29ADB2913D928C19D8E7E945B932232B). Let’s all just subject members of Congress to these obscene TSA pat-downs and see how they like it, eh? Let’s see if Senator Harry Reid wants to have some low-pay-grade TSA agent shoving his hands down his underwear and feeling up his junk, just like the rest of us must endure. And what about the U.S. President, his wife and his children? Are they immune to these same obscene pat-downs being offered by the TSA? If so, doesn’t that mean we’re back to a society where the “commoners” are treated like criminals, but the political elite are given special exceptions to this treatment? (Echoes of living under the King of England, anyone?) This has all clearly gone too far. It’s time to voice your opposition to this madness and stand firm on your Fourth Amendment rights which protect us from “unreasonable searches and seizures.” Having TSA agents shove their hands down our pants is clearly unreasonable. It is the kind of action that might be fully expected under a police state, but certainly not in the “land of the free.” Sources for this story include: http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/tsa-responds-passenger-outrages-underwear-search-happen/story?id=12208932

The chemical nightmare in your mattress

(NaturalNews) The average mattress is a cocktail of toxic substances, warns Barry Cik of Naturepedic, in an article published on www.GreenBiz.com. “My rude awakening came when my wife sent me to buy a crib mattress for our first grandchild,” Cik writes. “I was appalled by what I found; the crib mattresses were full of industrial chemicals. Because of my environmental engineering background, I knew how harmful these chemicals could be to a developing child.” Cik describes how one bad manufacturing decision leads to another to produce a toxic nightmare. For example, most mattresses are covered with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to keep water out. Because PVC is naturally hard, however, it is combined with phthalates to make it softer. “One short-sighted decision leads to another and, before you know it, you’ve got a very unhealthy baby mattress,” Cik writes. Phthalates, however, are estrogen mimics that have been linked to asthma, cancer and reproductive disorders. They have been proven to leach from mattresses and into the surrounding environment. “Phthalates … aren’t quite identical to the natural hormone molecules in men’s or women’s bodies, but they come close enough that they occupy the same receptors on estrogen-sensitive tissues and exert their own unique effects on human health,” writes David Steinman in his book Safe Trip to Eden . Cik draws attention to the fact that the safety of most chemicals used in mattresses — or any other consumer product — is simply unknown, because the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 considers all new chemicals safe until proven otherwise, and does not require companies to do any testing of their products. This means that companies such as Naturepedic, which markets non-toxic mattresses, are forced to pay to individually test nearly any component they want to include in a product. This drives up the prices of their products, making a healthy mattress a luxury only the wealthy can afford. “Our … challenge is to turn frustrated consumers into vocal citizens who will support Congress in making non-toxic the norm, not a market niche,” Cik concludes.

NaturalNews.TV video recipe contest winners react to prize winnings with generosity and kindness

(NaturalNews) One week ago we announced the winners of our Video Recipe Contest on NaturalNews.TV (http://www.naturalnews.com/030095_recipes_videos.html). The award checks have been sent out and all the prize products are on the way to these winners from Boku Superfood (www.BokuSuperfood.com) and Global Health Center (www.GlobalHealingCenter.com). We caught up with the three winners to get their comments on the contest and their winning video recipes! 1st place: Sarah Pope, the Healthy Home Economist http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=967368E535E6BA9D7FEE6D93DB199F35 I am very humbled to have won the competition because there is no way I could have done it without the loyal support of the readers of my blog (http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com) as well as the amazing support of other bloggers in my Real Food niche. I will be donating my winnings to the Weston A. Price Foundation (http://www.westonaprice.org), which is primarily responsible for providing the information I needed to change my health from terrible to fantastic almost 10 years ago. My primary inspiration to live a healthy lifestyle and pass on what I have learned over the years through my blog are my 3 children. You will do for your children what you would never do for yourself in many cases! My video recipe is actually an adaptation of the mayo recipe from Nourishing Traditions Cookbook , by Sally Fallon, who also just happens to be the President of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Thanks so much for the opportunity to compete in this fun contest! 2nd place: Allan Hall from New Zealand http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A95AF4C163F38E22BDDFF06FAFB65D9E I feel good about getting information out there that gives people another perspective of what other people actually sustain themselves on, say like this recipe for my breakfast. It’s pretty much how I start the day every day. Since I filmed this I am adding some powdered cracked wall organic Chlorella, a heap of spinach or other greens that are available into the mix (and that day of filming I missed the Turmeric). Life inspired me to have a healthy lifestyle. We are blessed with this moment is time to do with what we like, so it pays to cherish the opportunity that we have and looking after the Body, Mind just seems logically like the right thing to do. It makes life easier in all ways and it really comes down to just an informed choice. What inspired me to come up with this “awesome” recipe is having an awareness of what is going on in the food chain, through the great work that guys like Mike and others are doing spreading the word. I wanted to come up with something that was sustainable , quick to make, highly nutritious, had loads of vitamins, minerals from mixed natural food sources, with as little pesticide as possible, had a bit of living food enzymes, with being relatively low in sugars (includes fruit sugars), helped with digestion, most of all easy to consume and quick to clean up. Great for those whom are busy and want some quick food that packs some real punch and would sustain you even if you missed the next couple of meals. This is my best shot to date and I’ve been having some sort of variation of it for the last 6 years. It started out as straight Spirulina Powder in water and evolved to this. I would like to thank natural news for the great work they do. And [I plan to use the winnings] to keep financing the free yoga download that I have over at http://yoga.org.nz/yoga_vidoes.htm It costs me a $200 bucks a month to give it way. It’s in its fifth year. Doing my little part to improve peoples’ lives. 3rd place: Adam Aleshire http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=0A55871D8B226B5468EF8AE766B857E7 I am so excited to have won third place, but more importantly to be able to share this smoothie recipe with so many people. We have a recurring order with Boku Superfoods every month for their green superfood and super protein, so this will give us one free month! I can’t wait to see what type of products Global Healing Center offers. I must confess that I have not always lived a healthy lifestyle, and have struggled for many years with my weight. After yo-yo dieting for several years while still struggling with being overweight, I finally realized that in order to take the weight off permanently, I would have to change my entire lifestyle and way of thinking. A few years ago, I began listening to the Alex Jones Show and he promoted a few health items and websites, which is where I first learned of Natural News after hearing an interview with Mike Adams. From there, my wife and I began to research healthy living and found several online resources. Slowly, over the past few years, we have made gradual changes that have led us to where we are today – eating a mostly vegan diet, raw food, avidly exercising, and taking natural supplements when needed. I am happy to say that I have now lost over 100 pounds and my wife has lost over 30 pounds ; we have done this all naturally through changing our way of eating and exercising and we both feel like we are in the best shape of our life. Natural News is one of my homepages that I read every day and have purchased several products from. As our healthful journey continues, we just purchased the Hurom slow juicer from Natural News a few weeks ago and have began experimenting with juice recipes. Perhaps we’ll have one of these to share in the near future! Thank you again for this opportunity to share our smoothie recipe and we are very appreciative of all the work Mike Adams does and the wonderful products he shares. More video contest coming soon! This recipe video contest was a huge success, and many tens of thousands of people were able to view and enjoy these healthy food recipes. Thank you to everyone who participated! Next we’re going to do a video contest in a completely different topic area — perhaps something to do with Christmas and the holiday season, or maybe something about fitness around the New Year. We haven’t decided yet but I’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more. In the mean time, please continue to enjoy all the free (and amazing!) videos on NaturalNews.TV!

How Angela Stokes went from morbid obesity to a fit, thin body with raw foods

(NaturalNews) Angela Stokes once weighed 294 pounds. Seeing her today, it’s hard to imagine that she was once stuck in what she called a “miserable cycle of morbid obesity.” That’s because right now, she’s thin, healthy and downright beautiful. I know because she and her partner Matt Monarch were my neighbors in Ecuador, and I had the privilege of hanging out with them from time to time over the last several months. The question people always ask, though, is “How did Angela get so thin, healthy and vibrant while letting go of all that body fat?” And the answer to that may surprise you because she didn’t do it with some surgical shortcut or chemical intervention. Instead, Angela Stokes turned to raw foods and transformed her diet. That, in turn, transformed her body, and then her mind, and everything about her including her relationships with others. As she writes on her web page, “Within just a month of going raw, I had my first boyfriend in over 5 years – I was thrilled and increasingly inspired and dedicated to my new lifestyle.” A woman with incredibly courage I never knew Angela before she got healthy. I’ve only known her as a super healthy, happy and thoughtful person who celebrates the joys of life. She’ll marvel at the growth of new plants in the garden, and she delights in sharing a new superfood recipe with anyone who wants to learn. She and Matt often harvest omega-3-rich “weeds” from their property near Vilcabamba and blend them together with fresh mangos and other seasonal fruits to make an amazing superfood smoothie beverage like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Angela is not merely that she overcame an extremely difficult situation with morbid obesity, but that she found the courage to write about it and help teach others to venture forward on a similar path of self healing . She has created a series of written materials where she shares her best wisdom (and secrets!) about what works to reform your health from the inside out by turning to raw foods. The collection of her materials is actually called Raw Reform , and you can download it all right now from the NaturalNews Store by clicking here . In her collection, Angela has a how-to guide, an amazing raw foods recipe book, how to overcome “emotional” eating addictions and habits, insights and advice on dealing with the physical changes of serious weight loss (stretched skin, detox experiences, etc.) and much more. That’s what’s so amazing about Angela: She’s been there and done it! She has gone through the transformation and has now helped probably tens of thousands of others navigate a similar path of self healing. I was once nearly obese, too It’s no secret that I was once borderline obese as well. Although I never got up to 300 pounds, I was embarrassingly overweight and nearly diabetic. I used principles of nutrition and exercise to get to a healthy weight, so I also know what it’s like to be a heavy person who needs to unleash some self-healing in order to get to the healthy, fit body we all have inside. I know it seems intimidating at first, because saying “no” to that donut — or pizza, or ice cream — can seem like the hardest thing you’ve ever done at first. But I also know that people who have been through it can be invaluable coaches to help you avoid the pitfalls and achieve lasting results. Angela Stokes is perhaps one of the best coaches you’ll ever find in the world of health-oriented healing and body balancing — meaning you find your correct “balance” rather than just focusing on “losing.” Because, let’s face it, when you get healthy, you’re not “losing” anything — you’re gaining your life back! If you’re like most people who struggle with eating and body image, Angela can help you get your life back. She knows what really works; she knows what emotional and dietary traps to avoid; and she knows all about the personal transformation that takes place along the way. Reading her books may inspire you beyond anything you’ve ever achieved before along the lines of healthy living or weight loss. And the best part is that even while reducing body fat, you’ll be increasing your nutritional density! That’s because Angela eats (and teaches) a superfood-rich diet that’s loaded with healing medicinal foods and superfoods. I know this from personal experience. One time I walked over to their house in Ecuador and saw their kitchen stacked with fresh mangos. “Where did you get all these mangos?” I asked. Matt explained they found someone selling mangos at the local market in Vilcabamba and offered him a price for his entire inventory. The seller agreed, so they brought home maybe a hundred mangos which were now displayed across all the countertops of their kitchen. Over the next day or so, they proceeded to peel and dice all those hundred mangos, then they stored the bits in their freezer. For the following month, they used those frozen mangos to blend up amazing mango smoothies mixed with wild greens, herbs and grasses. And no matter how green their smoothies were, they always tasted delicious! (They would treat me to a taste from time to time, and I was always amazed.) Another time they had my wife and I over for a “raw Mexican food” dinner. They had prepared an unbelievably delicious meal made with raw tortillas, guacamole, salsa and even raw “sour cream” (without using dairy). We enjoyed the most amazing Mexican-style raw food (in Ecuador!) I’ve ever tasted. Some of those recipes are in Angela’s recipe book, too. Click here to see Angela’s books… The real McCoy The thing is, the so-called “weight loss” industry is filled with a lot of people who aren’t the real deal — people hawking gimmicks and shortcuts that don’t work. In great contrast to that, Angela is the real deal — a genuine guru of raw food healing. She’s not a saleswoman, she’s not faking it, and she actually lives what she teaches every single day. Both she and Matt are people who genuinely live the lifestyle they promote, and whether you’re interested in just going partially raw or temporarily raw or fully raw , you’ll save yourself countless hours by learning from someone who has already been through it: Angela Stokes. You can read more about her story right here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100239_97_100142_100198 I think that no matter what your health goal — to lose weight, to increase vitality, to prevent disease or even boost brain function — you’ll learn a wealth of information from Angela. Her approach to things is insightful and seemingly advanced beyond her years. Perhaps because of the young age of her health crisis (she weighed nearly 300 pounds by age 21), she was faced with early challenges that many others never encountered until years or decades later. Out of that, she emerged as a role model who has now inspired countless other women (and men!) to achieve similar health breakthroughs in their own lives. Check out her story at the link above. You’ll be amazed and inspired. And you may just find that Angela Stokes can show you the very path toward healthy body weight and self healing that you’ve been looking for. She’s definitely earned my respect for her courage and her transformation. I consider her a blessing to the entire natural health community, and I hope that her message reaches thousands more who share in these amazing healing principles that Angela Stokes has discovered and shared.

Natural alternatives to chemotherapy revealed on the next NaturalNews Talk Hour

(NaturalNews) The NaturalNews Talk Hour presents Cancer – A Natural Alternative to Chemotherapy – Part 4 of our series, “American Heroes – Cancer Experts Speak Out” – with our special guest Dr. Albert Sanchez. We’ll reveal the effectiveness of Poly-MVA – one of the most innovative (non-toxic) cancer treatment options available today. “I began taking Poly-MVA as a nutritional supplement and two months later I began feeling much better.

The Cancer Industry Has Failed According to The McGill Cancer Center in Canada, one of the largest and most prestigious cancer treatment centers in the world – 91 percent of oncologist surveyed said: “that all chemotherapy programs are unacceptable to them and their family members.” Cancer surgery doesn’t cure anything. Radiation causes cancer and chemotherapy destroys your immune system. Just look at the results – research has wasted billions of dollars; millions of people are dying worldwide and the numbers are getting worse and worse. This medical monopoly, fraudulent science and culture of death must come to an end. According to Dr. John Diamond, M.D., “A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy.” This week’s guest: Dr. Albert Sanchez – The Father of Poly-MVA Dr. Albert Sanchez – “Cancer – A Natural Alternative to Chemotherapy” – Thu. Aug. 19th Watch our exclusive (video) interview of Dr. Sanchez. His results are outstanding and medically-proven.

He has had incredible results , and has had to face unbelievable scrutiny from big business, big Pharma, and the media who are threatened that his “natural” treatment could have these astounding results without the use of harsh drugs.” Dr. John Paul Jones, former Vice President, Research and Development, for one of the largest healthcare companies in the world, has said, “I interviewed some of Dr. Gonzalez’s patients, saw their files, spent many hours with Dr. Gonzalez, and studied his many lectures. I also consulted with my wife, a researcher in oncology and hematology. She became so impressed that, despite no illness, she went on Dr. Gonzalez’s program, as did I, and many others.” Pierre Guesry, MD, former Medical Director of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France and vice president of research for the Nestle Company, the world’s largest food company, said “I told Dr. Gonzalez that I did not believe in his therapy…I then reviewed Dr. Gonzalez’s patient records for persons with very severe cancer whose diagnosis was confirmed by reputable hospitals and universities. I, myself, looked at the x rays, biopsies, and test results to be sure the cases were legitimate. This involved dozens of cases, far too many to suggest coincidental results. To my surprise, I determined that they were all legitimate.” Click Here for our exclusive (video) interview of Nicholas Gonzalez, MD.

Accused murderer receives liver organ transplant while others wait to die

(NaturalNews) Johnny Concepcion is 42 years old. After divorcing his wife, she was found stabbed to death in their home, suffering at least 15 stab wounds. Concepcion reportedly confessed to his friends that he killed his wife, and he soon found himself the subject of a city-wide manhunt in New York City. On the run from authorities, Concepcion decided to kill himself by drinking a container of rat poison. But that’s not where this story gets weird. The weird part is that after the rat poison destroyed his liver, Concepcion found himself at the top of a liver transplant list at a hospital in New York City. With over 16,000 other people waiting for a liver — many of whom undoubtedly are not murderers — somehow Concepcion was chosen to receive the next available liver from an organ donor. At a cost of several hundred thousand dollars (probably paid by taxpayers), Concepcion was given the new liver transplant and then arrested and taken to jail. He now awaits an August 11 court hearing to face the charge of murder. Huge problems in the organ transplant industry I’ve been an outspoken opponent of the organ transplant industry for several years. While admittedly the industry does save some lives, it has been apparent for a long time that the industry is far more interested in profit than compassion. Organ transplants make hundreds of millions of dollars for the hospitals, surgeons, organ transportation companies and other specialists involved in transplants. The families whose loved ones donate those organs, meanwhile, receive absolutely nothing for the gift of valuable organs they donate to this system. This is a case where a “product” (the organ) is given freely to an industry that then turns around and seeks to maximize its profits often without regard to quality of life. And this case of Johnny Concepcion demonstrates this perfectly: Rather than giving the liver to a human being who truly deserves a second chance, the doctors decided to give it to a man accused of murder… and a man who destroyed his own liver by drinking rat poison . To which I say, “Are you crazy?” Shouldn’t organ transplants go to those who deserve them? If you drink rat poison and destroy your own liver, that should probably disqualify you from the transplant list. Why? Because you’ve already proven you don’t value your own God-given organs. Why should modern medicine hand over a new one? The answer, of course, is because there’s big money to be made in transplants . So even the guy who consciously drinks poison and destroys his own liver is still on the transplant list. I suppose if someone shoots themselves in the chest, they’d still be on the list to receive a heart transplant too, right? Well, the sad truth of the matter is that — get this — most people (but not all) on organ transplant lists have destroyed their own organs! Yep, I said it. I told the truth: The majority (but not all) of heart, lung, liver and kidney transplant patients are those who suffer from a history of chemical abuse or nutritional abuse of their bodies. These people include lifelong smokers, drug addicts, alcohol abusers and junk food eaters. Again, this is most but not all organ transplant recipients. Some of those waiting for organ transplants are truly innocent victims who suffered a car crash, for example, or a rare disease affliction through no fault of their own. Now what I’m proposing here is going to be extremely unpopular in the organ transplant industry, but it makes sense from a human ethics point of view: Shouldn’t transplants first go to those who most DESERVE a second chance? Commonsense guidelines for organ transplants In other words, if your hospital has one spare liver, and you have to choose between three people who all need it (and they’re all a recipient match), and the first person is an alcoholic who destroyed his own liver with drinking, and the second person destroyed his own liver with rat poison, but the third person was in a construction accident and lost half his liver through no fault of his own, shouldn’t the third person get the liver? Because, let’s face it: There are not enough livers to go around. Not by a long shot. Most people on the transplant waiting list never get a transplant. Even some truly deserving people. And far too often, livers go to people who arguably don’t deserve them because they decided to destroy their first liver. In my view, we should start organizing transplant recipients along the lines of medical ethics , rating each person’s “deserving” score based on their level of personal responsibility with the organs they already have. Why should taxpayers, in particular, pay for a half million dollar heart transplant procedure for someone who smokes three packs of cigarettes a day and lives on processed junk food while refusing to exercise? Isn’t that a terrible waste of health care dollars? I mean, if a guy wants to kill himself with cigarettes and junk food, that’s his choice. And he’s got one set of organs to destroy, and that’s it. It’s not right to give him a second set and let him destroy those too, especially when someone else may put them to a better use. Seriously. I know these are not popular questions, and if we had enough livers to go around for everyone, we wouldn’t need to ask these questions, but in an environment where livers are limited and funds are limited does it make any sense for a murderer to get a liver while some other innocent car crash victim dies while waiting for one? Of course not. And the fact that the transplant industry awards these precious organs to the wrong people just demonstrates how far it has veered from the path of medical ethics. (The term “medical ethics” is almost an oxymoron these days…) Let’s nail down some simple rules for organ transplants. We’ll call these “common sense rules” for an industry that has lost common sense: • Rule #1) Murderers should not qualify for organ transplants. No brainer. • Rule #2) People who consciously destroy their own organs (such as by drinking rat poison) should not qualify for organ transplants. • Rule #3) People who choose to live unhealthy lifestyles by consuming processed junk foods, abusing drugs or avoiding basic self-care (exercise) should not quality for organ transplants either. Why? Because it’s a waste to give a valuable organ to someone who isn’t going to take care of it. • Rule #4) Those individuals who lost their own organs through no fault of their own should move up to the top of the organ transplant waiting lists. • Rule #5) People should be required to sign a contract before receiving an organ transplant, and that contract should commit them to avoiding alcohol and drugs (including dangerous OTC painkillers which cause liver damage, for example) and pursuing a healthful diet that will support their lifelong health. Trading in human flesh You might call these the five basic rules for sensible organ transplantation. These rules probably make perfect sense to you and me, but they make no sense whatsoever to the organ transplant industry. That industry, you see, earns the same amount of profit regardless of whether an innocent victim gets the organ or a convicted murderer gets it. It’s all the same to them. In fact, the organ transplant industry is rife with corruption and misdeeds. I’ve covered stories in the past where doctors and hospitals were caught secretly trading body parts for profit . Many U.S. hospitals now engage in the black market trafficking of illegally harvested organs (http://www.naturalnews.com/028994_organ_transplants_black_market.html). In fact, 44 people, including medical personnel, were recently arrested in the United States for their involvement in organ trafficking. In addition — here’s another horrifying thought — many of the organs offered up for transplantation are diseased organs to begin with. Sometimes organs are harvested from people who are riddled with cancer! These organs are then transplanted right into recipients with no warnings about the cancer. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027353_health_disease_cancer.html) So what you have is an industry that will harvest an organ from just about anybody (cancer patients, smokers, drug users, chemotherapy victims, etc.) and transplant that organ into anybody else (murderers, rapists, smokers, etc.) and earn a hefty profit doing so. It doesn’t sound so nice when you look at the real story here, does it? The organ transplant industry is a lot darker and dishonest than what it’s publicly made out to be. Publicly, it’s all sold to you as “saving lives.” But behind the scenes, it’s really about profiting from human flesh , regardless of whether it actually helps a human being who deserves it. Reforms desperately needed Again, this is not to say that the organ transplant industry doesn’t sometimes do the right thing. I have no doubt it ends up saving many deserving lives, but this does not seem to be the driving factor behind its (literal) operations. The industry seems a lot more interested in finding any diseased organ it can get its hands on and thrusting it into any living recipient they can find without engaging in any sort of calculation about quality of life or human compassion. And that’s where the industry has gone terribly wrong. Today, those who donate their organs have to face the very real possibility that their organs could be given to a murderer who may then use them to go out and commit even more murderers. At the same time, those who receive organ transplants have no way to know whether those organs were harvested from cancer patients , drug abusers or chemotherapy victims. So even if you’re “lucky enough” to receive an organ, it might already be riddled with cancer anyway. You’re stuck with the transplant bill but might die of cancer from the organ you received! Read this story, Body part harvesting company sold parts from dead cancer patients, drug users for use in surgery recipients (http://www.naturalnews.com/020109_organ_harvesting_medical_ethics.html) Such is the status of the organ transplant industry today. It doesn’t have to be this way, however. There is arguably a place for organ transplants for true victims of accidents or other causes outside of their control . But for people who just eat junk foods, abuse drugs and alcohol, avoid exercise and live a toxic life, an organ transplant makes no scientific sense. But it does make money… and that’s why they keep being performed. Is it ethical to donate your organs to this system? Make no mistake: Many U.S. hospitals deal in human flesh. They are waiting for car crash victims, suicide victims and other recently dead in order to rip their organs out of their body and transplant them for profit. And although this is beyond the scope of this particular article, I have seen disturbing evidence that if you list yourself as an organ donor on your driver’s license, there is a chance your organs may actually be harvested before you are truly dead . When you’re an organ donor, there’s a rush, after all, to cut out your heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other parts before they lose too much oxygen. And the very best way to do that, medically speaking, is to make sure your heart is still beating when they begin harvesting. I truly believe there are cases where organ donors have been turned over to the organ harvesting team rather than the resuscitation team even when they were not truly dead. But we’ll probably cover that in another story on another day. In the mean time, I strongly urge you to think carefully about your own organ donation status and how your organs could end up in the body of a murderer. I realize that not all organ donations are bad, and some organ transplants truly do save deserving lives, but until the organ transplant industry reforms itself and disavows the abuses outlined here, I personally will not support it, and I will urge others to avoid it. This is sad because I know that many deserving victims of accidents need organ transplants. But the system in place today too often denies them access to those organs while wasting them on others who simply don’t deserve new organs. Above all, remember this: the best way to save lives is to take care of the organs you were born with . If you don’t destroy the liver you already have, you won’t need a new one! What destroys livers? Pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications, for one thing. So does chemotherapy. Isn’t it fascinating that the treatments of one branch of medicine (oncology) create more business for the transplant industry by destroying livers, hearts and kidneys? That’s called repeat business . If you really want to destroy your liver, by the way, take some acetaminophen painkillers (http://www.naturalnews.com/026565_drugs_acetaminophen_liver_failure.html). This common painkiller has also been linked with kidney damage (http://www.naturalnews.com/001523.html). Think about it: If the medical industry really cared about protecting your liver, they wouldn’t keep prescribing medicines that destroy livers!
