DO YOU THINK YOU’RE PROTECTED? MUST READ!!!!!!!!!! by Dr. Troy Dreiling and Maximized Living Doctors

-Virginia: Fox News D.C.: Desiree Jennings, 26 year old redskins cheerleading hopeful and avid runner was given a SEASONAL FLU SHOT at a local grocery store because she was told it would help her immunity to the seasonal flu while she was training for a half marathon.  Within ten days of receiving the flu shot, she developed the flu and began to experience seizures.  Doctors diagnosed this otherwise healthy girl with Dystonia, a rare, debilitating, neurological side effect to the flu vaccine.  Desiree can no longer walk, speak, or perform any function of any kind.  When told she had a one in a million reaction she stated “I would have rather bought a lottery ticket.”


 
-Brooklyn, NY: Natural News: 6 yr. old Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, was given an H1N1 vaccine at school without her parents consent and had to be immediately rushed to the hospital.  Her mother was afraid of the potential side effects the untested vaccine may have so she wouldn’t sign the consent form.  School and medical officials say Nikiyah was “accidentally” given the vaccine and that “mistakes like that are rare.”


 
-Fargo, South Dakota:  A young expectant mother (name and information withheld) was given the H1N1 vaccine in accordance to the CDC’s recommendations that all pregnant women receive the vaccine.  The night she received the vaccine she began experiencing unusual cramps and the baby began to kick more than usual.  At first, mom thought nothing of it.  In the morning she had to be rushed to the hospital where her child was delivered still born.  Mom and baby had no prior complications previous to receiving the swine flu shot.  (Note: the package inserts for the H1N1 vaccine states that no studies have been done on pregnant women, and threat of harm to unborn fetuses or reproductive harm of any kind is unknown).

DO YOU KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH?
Yes, H1N1 is a very real virus, but there are safer, saner methods of creating a proper immune response to the virus.  November 16, bring your friends and family to Health From Within to learn what is in a flu shot, why the shots effectiveness & safety are in question, and most importantly how to protect yourself and your loved ones from the virus!

Recipe for Higher Interest and Demand For the Flu Vaccine

This recipe is brought to you by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

Ingredients:
 

1 large SCARE TACTIC   

1 handful of Medical professionals      

5 Major Media Outlets   

1 shot of influenza     

Directions:
1.    Report initial cases of disease:
a.    Associated w/ severe illness and/or outcomes
b.    Occur among people for whom influenza is not generally perceived to cause serious complications (e.g. children, healthy adults, health seniors)
c.     In cities and communities with significant media outlets
2.    Medical experts and public health authorities publically state concern and alarm (and predict dire outcomes)- urge influenza vaccination.
3.    The combination of those two steps will result in:
a.    Significant media interest and attention
b.    Framing of the flu season in terms that motivate behavior (e.g.as “very severe,” “more severe than last or past years,” “deadly”)
4.    Continued reports – help foster the perception that many people are susceptible to a bad case of influenza
5.    Visible/tangible examples of the illness (e.g. pictures of children, families of those affected coming forward) and people getting vaccinated (the first to motivate, the latter to reinforce)
6.    References to, and discussions, of pandemic influenza
7.    Vaccination demand is related to heighted concern, anxiety, and worry. For example:
a.    A perception or sense that many people are falling ill
b.    A perception or sense that many people are experiencing bad illness
c.    A perception or sense of vulnerability to contracting and experiencing bad illness
8.    Effectively addressing parent concerns about the number and timing of vaccinations and thimerosal
9.    Component of success (i.e. higher demand for influenza vaccine) stems from media stories and information that create motivating (i.e. high) levels of concern and anxiety about influenza
10.    Inducing worry, raised anxiety, and concern presents many dilemmas for health care professionals, but remember:
a.    The belief that you can inform and warn people, and get them to take appropriate actions or precautions with respect to a health threat or risk without actually making them anxious or concerned.  This is not possible. Rather… “This is like breaking up with your boyfriend without hurting his feelings.  It can’t be done.”


Sounds like a recipe for disaster and disease if you ask me.  The FULL version of this “Recipe” can be found at:

Diethanolamine (DEA) is found in over 600 home and personal care products such as soaps, lotions, cosmetics, bubble baths, laundry and dishwashing detergents.

In 1997 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicity Program found that when DEA was applied to the skin of rats, it resulted in clear evidence of carcinogenic (cancerous) activity.

 

Propylene Glycol is a substance used in antifreeze solutions and hydraulic fluids as a powerful solvent.  Ironically enough, it is also found in childhood vaccinations, cosmetics, toothpastes, shampoos, deodorants, lotions, and even processed foods (including pet foods).

Like DEA, Propylene Glycol has been shown in studies to be absorbed through the skin and cause many problems such as kidney damage, liver abnormalities, skin cell growth inhibition, damaged cell membranes, rashes, respiratory damage, immune system deficiency and central nervous system depression.[i]

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is perhaps the most common of the three chemicals and by no means any less toxic.  SLS is used as a surfactant to break down the surface tension of water. This degreaser is used in practically every soap, shampoo and toothpaste on the market today.

SLS has been used in studies to induce mutation in bacteria and to irritate skin.  It has also shown to enter the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact, and has been proven to maintain residual levels once inside these organs.[i]

Warning - Swine Flu H1N1 Vaccine Is Not Safe

Check out the food matters post: HERE 

As in continue to search the web and research the both sides of this dialog. I keep being drawn to these articles that make you question, "Who is in charge of making YOUR health care choices." The answer always comes back..... YOU ARE>>>>>>  Dr. Troy Dreilin

following article By Dr Joseph Mercola, MD

This year it is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from the flu vaccines than influenza itself. In his article published on LewRockwell.com, Bill Sardi details 18 reasons why you should not vaccinate your children against the flu this season. Here are nine of them:

• The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.
• This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
• Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
• This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
• Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.
• Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.
• Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
• Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.
• Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease.

Flu vaccines revealed as the greatest quackery ever pushed in the history of medicine

People continue to ask me, "Dr. Troy Dreiling what do you think about the Flu Shot?"

I think this article by Mike Adams will help enlighten you.

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Prepare to have your world rocked. What you're about to read here will leave you astonished, inspired and outraged all at the same time. You're about to be treated to some little-known information demonstrating why seasonal flu vaccines are utterly worthless and why their continued promotion is based entirely on fabricated studies and medical mythology.

If the whole world knew what you're about to read here, the vaccine industry would collapse overnight.

This information comes to you courtesy of a brilliant article published in The Atlantic (November 2009). The article, written by Shannon Brownlee and Jeanne Lenzer, isn't just brilliant; in my opinion it stands as the best article on flu vaccines that has ever been published in the popular press. Entitled Does the vaccine matter?, it presents some of the most eye-opening information you've probably ever read about the failure of flu vaccines. You can read the full article here: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/2009...

Perhaps its impressive narrative shouldn't be too surprising, though, since writer Shannon Brownlee is also the celebrated author of a phenomenal book on modern medicine entitled Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (http://www.amazon.com/Overtreated-M...) (http://www.naturalpedia.com/book_Ov...).

While I've never done this before, I'm going to summarize this article point by point (along with some comments) so that you get the full force of what's finally been put into print.

This information is so important that I encourage you to share the following summary I've put together. Email it to family, friends and coworkers. Or post it on your blog or website (with a link and proper credit to both NaturalNews and The Atlantic, please). Get this information out to the world. People need to know this, and so far the mainstream media has utterly failed to make this information known.

(The really good information begins after around a dozen bullet points, so be sure to keep reading...)

Does the vaccine matter?

What follows is my point-by-point summary of this groundbreaking article by Shannon Brownlee, originally published in The Atlantic. My opinion statements are shown in brackets and italics.

• Vaccination is the core strategy of the U.S. government's plan to combat the swine flu.

• The U.S. government has spent roughly $3 billion stockpiling vaccines and anti-viral drugs.

• The CDC is recommending that 159 million Americans receive a swine flu vaccine injection (as soon as possible).

• What if vaccines don't work? More and more researchers are skeptical about whether they do.

• Seasonal flu (that's the regular flu) currently kills an estimated 36,000 people each year in the United States. [But most people who die are already suffering from existing diseases such as asthma.]

• Most "colds" aren't really caused by the flu virus. As few as 7 or 8 percent (and at most, 50 percent) of colds have an influenza origin. There are more than 200 viruses and pathogens that can cause "influenza-like" illnesses (and therefore be easily mistaken for the flu).

• Viruses mutate with amazing speed, meaning that each year's circulating influenza is genetically different from the previous year.

• The vaccine for each upcoming flu season is formulated by health experts taking a guess [a wild guess, at times] about what strain of influenza might be most likely to circulate in the future.

• The 1918 Spanish Flu infected roughly one-third of the world population and killed at least 40 million.

• In the U.S., the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology predicted that H1N1 influenza could infect up to one-half of the U.S. population and kill 90,000 Americans.

[Keep reading, the good part is coming...]

• Of those who have died from the Swine Flu in the U.S., roughly 70 percent were already diseased with some serious underlying condition such as asthma or AIDS.

• Public health officials consider vaccines to be their first and best weapon against influenza. Vaccines helped eradicate smallpox and polio. [I don't agree with that assessment. Vaccines did relatively little compared to improvements in public sanitation.]

• Each year, 100 million Americans get vaccinated, and vaccines remain "a staple" of public health policy in the United States.

Why the research is bogus

• Because researchers can't exactly pin down who has influenza and who doesn't, the research conducted on the effectiveness of vaccines simply calculates the death rate from all causes among those who take the vaccine vs. those who don't. [This includes deaths from accidents, heart attacks, medications, car wrecks and everything.]

• These studies show a "dramatic difference" between the death rates of those who get the vaccines vs. those who don't. People who get vaccinated have significantly lower death rates [from ALL causes, and herein lies the problem...].

• Flu shot propaganda cites these studies, telling people that if they get their flu shots every year, they will have a significantly reduced chance of dying. But this is extremely misleading...

• Critics question the logic of these studies: As it turns out, compared to the number of deaths from all causes, the number of people killed by influenza is quite small. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, deaths from influenza account for -- at most -- 10 percent of the total deaths during the flu season (and this includes all indirect deaths aggravated by the flu).

• This brings up a hugely important dilemma: If influenza only accounts for roughly 10 percent of all deaths during the flu season, how could an influenza vaccine reduce total deaths by 50 percent? (As is claimed by the vaccine manufacturers.) [It doesn't add up. Even if the vaccines were 100% effective, they should only reduce the total death rates by 10%, given that only 10% of the total deaths are caused by influenza.]

• Here's a direct quote from the story: Tom Jefferson, a physician based in Rome and the head of the Vaccines Field at the Cochrane Collaboration, a highly respected international network of researchers who appraise medical evidence, says: "For a vaccine to reduce mortality by 50 percent and up to 90 percent in some studies means it has to prevent deaths not just from influenza, but also from falls, fires, heart disease, strokes, and car accidents. That's not a vaccine, that's a miracle." [Emphasis added.]

The failure of cohort studies

• So how do the vaccine companies come up with this "50% reduction in death rate" statistic? Through cohort studies.

• Cohort studies compare the death rates of large groups of people who received the vaccine to large groups of people who did NOT receive the vaccine. But there's a fatal flaw in this approach: People self-select for vaccinations. And what kind of people? As it turns out: People who take more precautions with their health!

• [Thus, you automatically have a situation where the more health-cautious people are getting the vaccines because they THINK it's good for them. Meanwhile all the masses of people who don't give a darn about their health tend to skip the seasonal flu vaccines. And these people tend to not take very good of their health in lots of other ways. In other words, in terms of the masses, people who get vaccines are more likely to avoid junk food and live a more health-cautious lifestyle. This explains the differences in the death rates between the two groups! It has nothing to do with the vaccine...]

• There is extreme "cult-like" peer pressure put on doctors and researchers to swallow the vaccine mythology without question. Quoted from the story: Lisa Jackson, a physician and senior investigator with the Group Health Research Center, in Seattle, began wondering aloud to colleagues if maybe something was amiss with the estimate of 50 percent mortality reduction for people who get flu vaccine, the response she got sounded more like doctrine than science. "People told me, 'No good can come of [asking] this,'" she says. "'Potentially a lot of bad could happen' for me professionally by raising any criticism that might dissuade people from getting vaccinated, because of course, 'We know that vaccine works.' This was the prevailing wisdom." [In other words, don't dare question the vaccine, and don't ask tough scientific questions because the vaccine industry runs on dogma, not science... and if you ask any questions, you might find yourself out of a job...].

[Here's where the really good part begins...]

• Lisa Jackson was not deterred. She and three other researchers began to study the widely-quoted vaccine statistics in an attempt to identify this "healthy user effect," if any. They looked through eight years of medical data covering 72,000 people aged 65 or older and recorded who received flu shots and who didn't. Then they compared the death rates for all causes outside the flu season.

The vaccine made no difference in mortality

• What she found blows a hole right through the vaccination industry: She found that even outside the flu season, the death rate was 60 percent higher among those who did not get vaccines than among those who do. [In other words, even when you take the flu season completely out of the equation, elderly people who don't get vaccines have other lifestyle factors that makes them far more likely to die from lots of other causes.]

• She also found that this so-called "healthy user effect" explains the entire apparent benefit that continues to be attributed to vaccines. This finding demonstrates that the flu vaccine may not have any beneficial effect whatsoever in reducing mortality.

• How well done were these particular studies? Quoted from the story: Jackson's papers "are beautiful," says Lone Simonsen, who is a professor of global health at George Washington University, in Washington, D.C., and an internationally recognized expert in influenza and vaccine epidemiology. "They are classic studies in epidemiology, they are so carefully done."

• Many pro-vaccine experts simply refused to believe the results of this study [because it conflicts with their existing belief in vaccine mythology]. The Journal of the American Medical Association refused to publish her research, even stating, "To accept these results would be to say that the earth is flat!" [Which just goes to show you how deeply ingrained the current vaccine mythology is in the minds of conventional medical practitioners. They simply cannot imagine that vaccines don't work, so they dismiss any evidence -- even GOOD evidence -- demonstrating that fact. This is what makes the vaccine industry a CULT rather than a science.]

• Jackson's papers were finally published in 2006, in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

[And here's the really, really juicy part you can't miss...]

Vaccine shortage proves it never worked in the first place

• The history of the flu vaccine reveals some huge gaps in current vaccination mythology, essentially proving they don't work:

• For example: In 2004, vaccine production was low and there was a shortage in vaccines (a 40 percent reduction in vaccinations). And yet mortality rates did not rise during the flu season. [Clearly, if vaccines actually worked, then a year when the vaccine wasn't even administered to 40% of the people who normally get it should have resulted in a huge and statistically significant increase in mortality. It should have spiked the death rates and filled the morgues... but it didn't. You know why? Because flu vaccines don't work in the first place.]

• In the history of flu vaccines, there were two years in which the formulated flu vaccine was a total mismatch to the widely-circulating influenza that made people sick. These years were 1968 and 1997. In both of these years, the vaccine was a completely mismatch for the circulating virus. In effect, nobody was vaccinated! [Knowing this, if the vaccine itself was effective at reducing death rates, then we should have once again seen a huge spike in the death rates during these two years, right? Seriously, if the vaccine reduces death rates by 50% as is claimed by vaccine manufacturers, then these two years in which the vaccine completely missed the mark should have seen huge spikes in the winter death rates, right? But what really happened was... nothing. Not a blip. Not a spike. Nothing. The death rates didn't rise at all.]

• If vaccines really worked to save lives, then the more people you vaccinate, the lower death rates you should see, right? But that's not the case. Back in 1989, only 15 percent of over-65 people got vaccinated against the flu. But today, thanks to the big vaccine push, over 65 percent are vaccinated. And yet, amazingly, death rates among the elderly have not gone down during the flu season. In fact, they've gone up!

• When vaccine promoters (and CDC officials) are challenged about the "50 percent mortality reduction" myth, they invoke dogmatic language and attack the messenger. They are simply not willing to consider the possibility that flu vaccines simply don't work.

• Scientists who question the vaccine mythology are routinely shunned by the medical establishment. Tom Jefferson from the Cochrane Collaboration is an epidemiologist who questions the claimed benefits of flu vaccines. "The reaction [against Jefferson] has been so dogmatic and even hysterical that you'd think he was advocating stealing babies" said a colleague (Majumdar).

• Jefferson is one of the world's best-informed researchers on the flu vaccine. He leads a team of researchers who have examined hundreds of vaccine studies. To quote directly from the article: The vast majority of the studies were deeply flawed, says Jefferson. "Rubbish is not a scientific term, but I think it's the term that applies [to these studies]."

[And here's the real kicker that demonstrates why flu vaccines are useless...]

Flu vaccines only "work" on people who don't need them

• Vaccines supposedly "work" by introducing a weakened viral strain that causes the immune system to respond by building influenza antibodies. However, as Jefferson points out, only healthy people produce a good antibody response to the vaccine. And yet it is precisely the unhealthy people -- the ones who have a poor immune response to the vaccine -- who are most at risk of being harmed or killed by influenza. But the vaccines don't work in them!

• [In other words -- get this -- flu vaccines only "work" in people who don't need them!]

• [At the same time, it's also accurate to say that vaccines don't work at all in the very people who theoretically could benefit from them. They only produce antibodies in people who already have such a strong immune response that they don't need the vaccine in the first place.]

• Jefferson has called for randomized, placebo-controlled studies of the vaccines. But vaccine pushers are resisting these clinical trials! They call the trials "unethical" [but, in reality, they know that a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study would reveal the complete failure of flu vaccines, and they will do anything to prevent such a trial from happening. Don't you find it amazing that drug pushers and vaccine advocates claim they have "science" on their side, but they won't submit their vaccines to any real science at all?]

• [No placebo-controlled studies have ever been conducted on flu vaccines because the industry says they would be "unethical." So where do these people get off claiming their vaccines work at all? The whole industry is based on fabricated statistics that are provably false... and the injections continue, year after year, with absolutely no benefit to public health whatsoever...]

Why anti-viral drugs don't work either

• On the anti-viral drug front, hospitals are urged to hand out prescriptions for Tamiflu and Relenza to almost anyone who is symptomatic, whether they actually have swine flu or not. Concern is growing about the emergence of drug-resistant strains of swine flu. " Flu can become resistant to Tamiflu in a matter of days..." says one researcher.

• In 2005, the U.S. government spent $1.8 billion to stockpile antiviral drugs for the military. This decision was made during the time when Donald Rumsfeld was Defense Secretary. Rumsfeld also held millions of dollars worth of stock in Gilead Sciences, the company that holds the patent on Tamiflu. That company saw its stock price rise 50 percent following the government's stockpiling purchase of Tamiflu.

• The evidence supporting Tamiflu's anti-viral benefits is flimsy at best. Even worse, as many as one in five children taking Tamiflu experience neuropsychiatric side effects including hallucinations and suicidal behavior. [In other words, your kid might be "tripping out" on some bad Tamiflu...]

• Tamiflu is already linked to 50 deaths of children in Japan.

• The evidence supporting Tamiflu is based on cohort studies, just like the vaccines, which may distort or exaggerate the apparent benefits of the drug.

• Even supporters of Tamiflu admit it's never been proven to help. A CDC official says that randomized trials to determine the effectiveness of Tamiflu would be "unethical."

• In all, neither vaccines nor anti-viral drugs have any reliable evidence that they work against influenza at all. Both are being promoted based entirely on pure wishful thinking, not hard science.

• The history of pharmaceutical medicine is littered with other examples of drugs that doctors "knew worked" but which later turned out to harm or kill patients. [All along, the proper scientific studies were avoided because, hey, if you already know everything, why bother conducting any actual science to prove anything?]

• The hype about vaccines provides a false sense of security, taking away attention from other things that really do work to prevent influenza deaths. That's why, except for "hand washing," virtually no advice has been offered to the public on preventing influenza beyond vaccines and anti-viral drugs.

• Concluding quote from the author: "By being afraid to do the proper studies now, we may be condemning ourselves to using treatments based on illusion and faith rather than sound science."

A recap of these astonishing points

Let's recap what we just learned here (because it's just mind-boggling):

• There have been no placebo-controlled studies on flu vaccines because the vaccine pushers say such clinical trials would be "unethical." Thus, there is actually no hard scientific evidence that they work at all.

• The "50 percent reduction in mortality" statistic that's tossed around by vaccine pushers is a total fabrication based on "rubbish" studies ("cohort" studies).

• Scrutinizing the existing studies that claim to support vaccines reveals that flu vaccines simply don't work. And when vaccines aren't available or the formulation is wrong, there's no spike in death rates, indicating quite conclusively that these vaccines offer no reduction in mortality.

• Flu vaccines only produce antibodies in people who don't need vaccines. At the same time, they fail to produce antibodies in people who are most vulnerable to flu. Thus, vaccines only work in people who don't need them.

• The entire flu vaccine industry is run like a cult, with dogma ruling over science. Anyone who asks tough, scientific questions is immediately branded a heretic. No one is allowed to question the status quo. (So much for "evidence-based medicine," huh?)

As you can see from all this, the flu vaccine is pure quackery. Those who administer vaccines are, by inference, QUACKS. They claim to have scientific minds, and yet they are the most gullible of all: They will believe almost anything if it's published in a medical journal, even if it's complete quackery.

Today, countless doctors, nurses and pharmacists across North America and around the world are pushing a medically worthless, scientifically-fabricated chemical injection that offers absolutely no benefit to public health... and yet they're convinced it's highly effective! It just goes to show you how easy it is to brainwash people in the field of conventional medicine.

They've abandoned real science long ago, you know. Now the whole industry is just run on the momentum of dogmatic arrogance and the illusion of authority. From the CDC and FDA on down to the local pharmacist at the corner store, the American medical system is run by some seemingly smart people who have been brainwashed into become full-fledged members of the Cult of Pharmacology where vaccine mythology overrules real science.

The vaccine industry is perhaps the greatest medical scam ever pulled off in the history of the world. Don't fall for it.

And don't forget to read the full article in The Atlantic by Shannon Brownlee: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/2009...

Why people get vaccinated: Superstition

Reading everything you've read here, you might wonder: Why do people get vaccinated at all?

The reason is because no one knows whether they work or not, so people keep on taking them "just in case." It's exactly the kind of superstitious ritual that "science-minded skeptics" rail against on a regular basis... unless, of course, it involves their vaccines, in which case superstition is all okay.

People take vaccines for the same reason they rub a rabbit's foot. It's a good luck ritual that may or may not work, but no one really knows. And besides, what's the harm in it? (They think...)

Personally, I'd rather get some vitamin D and have a healthy, functioning immune system. But for those who prefer to play the lotto, gamble in Vegas or bet their lives on medical superstitions, flu vaccines are readily available.

So what are you waiting for? Shoot up a few flu vaccines, rub your lucky rabbit's foot, then spin around clockwise seven times and you, too, may be able to generate enough luck to avoid the flu this winter.

Cooking

Preparation of food  on a daily basis can be challenging.  At our house, we try to have a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and  protein in our diet.  And because we are raising children, it is important that we stay as healthy as possible; after all, energy is the "key" to keeping up with our vigorous  children.  When I am not eating well, I notice my energy levels dwindle. 

Lately, I have been using "Google" to find new recipes.  It is a great source of information and it has more recipes than you can ever use in a lifetime.   My daughter is enjoying all the fresh fruits and vegetables that the summer months offer and incorporating the fresh summer bounty into recipes is appreciated by my entire family.  One way to keep the food costs down is go to "pick your own" on some of the rural farms in Washington and Oregon.  Sauvie's Island is an excellent area for that.  

Obama looks to back more Vaccines

WEDNESDAY, May 6 (HealthDay News) -- President Barack Obama's administration is weighing whether to craft a fall vaccination campaign that could mean three flu shots for Americans, two of those aimed straight at the swine flu virus that has been circulating around the globe in recent weeks.

The Washington Post reported late Tuesday that this would mark the first time the government has asked its citizens to get more than one flu vaccine a year.

Experts are looking at who ought to get the swine flu shots and whether vaccine makers can make both 180 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine and up to 600 million rounds of the new vaccine, the newspaper reported.

"We are moving forward with making a vaccine," Robin Robinson, a director with the Department of Health and Human Services who oversees pandemic response programs, told the Post. Robinson added that although a formal decision about the swine flu vaccine has not been made, if the government goes ahead, it would probably produce two doses for all Americans. If the threat diminishes, he said, health officials could decide to produce doses for only a portion of the population.

Meanwhile, a Texas woman who lived along the U.S.-Mexico border and had chronic health problems died this week after contracting swine flu, state health officials said Tuesday.

The death of the woman, who lived in Cameron County, the southernmost county in the state, was "the first death of a Texas resident with H1N1 flu," state health officials said. No other details were available, the Post reported.

The High Price of Cheap Eats

Dollar “value meals” not so cheap when you look at the potential health costs.

menu items are packed with fat, salt, cholesterol and processed meat

The Cancer Project, a nonprofit cancer prevention organization. The group has produced a list of what it says are the five unhealthiest items sold at the nation’s largest fast food chains.

1. Jack in the Box’s junior bacon cheeseburger topped the list as the worst offender. The burger costs just one dollar but is packed with 23 grams of fat, including 8 grams of saturated fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol and 860 milligrams of sodium and just one gram of fiber.

2. The 89-cent Taco Bell cheesy double beef burrito, with 460 calories, 20 grams of fat and a whopping 1,620 milligrams of sodium.

3. One-dollar Burger King breakfast sausage biscuit, with 27 grams of fat, including 15 grams of saturated fat and over 1,000 milligrams of sodium.

4. O-dollar McDonald’s McDouble, which contains 19 grams of fat and 65 milligrams of cholesterol.

5. Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger, for $1.53, with 310 calories and 16 grams of fat.

“It would be nice if they decided it was better for their budget to start preparing food at home more often," she said.

American Values Blamed For U.S. Health Care Crisis

2008 issue of the Science Daily. "To heal our ailing health care system, we need to stop thinking like Americans".

The U.S. government is projecting that we will spend $4 trillion on health care by 2015 which will represent 20 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.

[Yet we are 37th according to WHO…]

The Science Daily article also reported that in his paper, Dr. Nuwer, explained that 31 percent of

U.S. health care expenditures go toward administration.

2008 Star Tribune in Minneapolis

listed "5 Misconceptions About Health Care" that helped clarify this issue.

1. America has the best health care in the world. We have the most expensive system, but by most international measures we are far down the list on actual health care delivery.

2. Somebody else is paying for your health insurance. This is not true as we pay for health care either in taxes or as a deduction from salary.

 

3. We would save a lot if we could cut the administrative waste of private insurance. This point is debatable as some say that this cost is needed while others compare this with other countries that have considerably less administrative costs.

 

4. Health-care reform is going to cost a bundle - the bottom line is that we are already paying for a wasteful system that leaves out a large portion of our population.

 

5. If the rest of the world can offer health care at a fraction of the cost, why can't we?

Americans aren't ready for a major overhaul of the health-care system."

New England Journal of Medicine

1. 7 percent of Americans rate our health-care system excellent.
2. 40 percent consider it poor
3. 70 percent believe it needs major changes, if not a complete overhaul." This pretty much says it all.  We are ready!

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Science is verifying what many overeaters have suspected for a long time: sugar can be addictive. The sweetener seems to prompt the same chemical changes in the brain seen in people who abuse drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's

"Drinking large amounts of sugar water when hungry can cause behavioral changes and even neurochemical changes in the brain which resemble changes that are produced when animals or people take substances of abuse.

"A "sugar addiction" may even act as a "gateway" to later abuse of drugs such as alcohol, Hoebel said. "The same thing is true of eating," he added. "Fattening food has an impact on the regulating mechanism that breaks down your sense of fullness, makes you feel an urge to go back and get that blast of sugar and this creates the vicious cycle of weight gain that we're going through.

Research on mice links fast food to Alzheimer's

Mice fed junk food for nine months showed signs of developing the abnormal brain tangles strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease,\ a Swedish researcher said on Friday. 

A diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol could increase the risk of the most common type of dementia.

Journal of the American Medical Association’s 2008 startling conclusion.

The start of screening mammography programs throughout Europe has been associated with increased incidence of breast cancer.

Did the x-rays and/or the sometimes torturous compression of breasts during mammography actually spur cancer to develop? Or does this just look like an increase in the disease rate because mammography is simply identifying more cases of breast cancer?

Bottom line: the scientists conclude this indicates that some of the cancers detected by mammography would have spontaneously regressed if they had never been discovered on a mammogram and treated, usually with chemotherapy and radiation. Simply put, it appears that some invasive breast cancers simply go away on their own, healed by the body’s own immune system.

3. Only 46% cited obesity as a risk factor for cancer.

4. Only 37% knew of alcohol's link to cancer.

5. Only 36% were aware of the link between diets high in processed meat — and cancer.

Alzheimer's being caused by vaccines?

Would you be shocked to learn that the wave of Alzheimer's now sweeping the western world might have been caused by vaccines?

 

It's true: Vaccines contain chemicals designed to cause inflammation (to amp up the immune response), and as Byron Richards explains in today's feature article, this could be the root cause behind the epidemic of Alzheimer's now striking people younger than 50!

 

Read the full details here: http://www.naturalnews.com/024867.html

 

Below are some quotes from one of the worlds leading athorities on the flu shot link to Alzheimer's.

 

Since flu shot season is approaching I thought it appropriate to remind everyone that according to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted

biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer reviewed journals), if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots their chance of getting Alzheimer's disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or no shots. (1)

Dr. Fudenberg claims this is due to the mercury and aluminum in flu shots (and many childhood and RhoGam shots); these toxins build up in the brain causing cognitive dysfunction.  Is that why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple? (2)

By the way, to disprove the Alzheimer's/flu shots connection, some Toronto MDs went to nursing homes and asked people with Alzheimer's if they remember getting a flu shot.  Most said they didn't remember getting one. Not surprising since Alzheimer's victims may not remember the names of their spouse.  Anyway, based on this "research" they concluded the flu shots were safe but the disclaimer at the bottom of the abstract negated its value: "Because of the self-reported nature of the risk factor questionnaire we cannot exclude the possibility of recall bias." (3) Can you believe that the media reported this as "proof" the flu shot was safe? They didn't mention the disclaimer.  Maybe they all had too many flu shots?

Does autism therapy heal children?

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Autism hits one in every 150 children. It's the fastest growing developmental disability in the country and the numbers are even higher in Utah. According to a University of Utah study, one in ever 133 births, a child is diagnosed with autism.

It can be devastating, frustrating and expensive for the nearly 7,000 Utah families that are raising a child with autism. A Draper family went outside conventional wisdom of medical doctors to try some alternative therapy.

Four-year-old Colton Smith loves to play with his big sister, Briton but it hasn't always been that way. Colton

has been on a dark journey that took him away from his family. “He would just be off, said Colton’s Mother, Shawnee Smith, “like he didn't know I was his mom holding him.” The smiths say Colton was a happy baby, always smiling, started talking at nine months, and didn't bother to crawl on his way to walking. At 18 months, however, they say everything changed after he received immunization shots.

“About three weeks after, I started noticing not responding to me calling him,” said Shawnee. Coltonstopped talking and no longer made eye contact recalled Colton’s father Mike. “He would play for hours, in his room, door shut, by himself.” Testing showed C

oltonhad severe autism. Doctors told the Smiths Colton might never speak again, they should prepare for a life of constant care but hardest to accept; “You don't know, does he know we're even here? Does he even recognize who Ii am, does he see me?” said Mike.

Among Colton’s symptoms: Sensory over-load in crowds, around loud noises, with textures that kept him from eating, and a compulsion to lick strange surfaces. “We took him to our gym going swimming and there was this drain with some brown water in it and I turned around and he was down licking this brown water,” said Shawnee, I thought, ‘AHHH! He’s going to die!’ He was just sent down here with an incredible immune system.”

He was given traditional methods of treatment such as early intervention schooling at Jordan

School District where he learned behavior skills but he remained locked away in his own little world. A friend of the Smiths recommended an alternative treatment, combining holistic medicine with chiropractic.

Mike was skeptical. “I thought it was crap and there would be no way we're going down there and there would be no way you are going to be adjusting my son's spine!

Dr Troy Frazier prescribed homeopathic remedies to get rid of toxins and to build up to Colton's nutrition. He cut sugar, preservatives and additives from Colton's diet. “Just getting the offenders out is good but then you have to put the good stuff back in,” said Dr. Frazier.

After six months, the Smiths saw major improvement and a glimmer of Colton coming back. “He would come and sit on your lap and look at you. It was huge because he hadn't been doing that at all,” recalled

Shawnee. They agreed to get chiropractic treatment. Dr. Frazier said his focus was getting Colton’s neurological functions restored and concentrated on adjusting his crania, neck, back, spine, and hips.

After the first week of adjustments, the Smiths say more of Colton returned to them. “He was starting to chase after his sister's friends. It was just like it woke him up,” said Shawnee. And then came a day etched in Shawnee's memory. “I think the best day of my life was when he said, 'Momma' after a year and a half of silence.”

The Smiths say another unique therapy has virtually stopped Colton's sensory issues with crowds and textures. “I noticed a big change the first time he rode,” said horseback riding therapist, Tamera Tanner.

Tanner developed a method of therapeutic horseback riding after realizing her horse’s walking pattern is the same as an infant’s crawl. “I you don’t crawl correctly,” Tanner said, “Your brain doesn’t get mapped correctly.” Remember, Colton bypassed crawling as an infant, which is common with children with autism. “Some doctors consider autism… a brain injury and so you have to re pattern the brain.” Tanner, who has a medical background, says in brain injury patients one side of the brain is used more.

Only a small portion of the Missouri Fox Trotter breed has the natural gate needed for Tanner’s therapy. Tanner says that’s because the horse’s motion stimulates the two sides of Colton’s brain to work as one, a process called; Cross Hemispheric Integration.

Also emerging from therapy, something often difficult for children of autism to comprehend, a sense of humor. After his ride Colton teased Tanner by throwing some dirt at her. Now most parents might want to scold but for the Smiths, it’s another break through moment. “Him throwing dirt at Tammy is, ‘Whoohooo! That’s very new for us,” said Shawnee, “for him to tell knock-knock jokes and get it… he started doing that on the horse.”

Mike says, although, skeptical at first, he can't argue with the results. “It doesn't matter if you believe or not. You have to look at facts for facts and look where he is today.” It is a place that seems far distant from the bleak prognosis two and a half years ago. “It's been wonderful to see this has worked for us and hopefully it can work for someone else,” said Shawnee.

Colton now speaks in complete sentences and has a vocabulary of 300 words. The Smiths admit their son's progress is not all miracles, they say it is a constant process they caught early which has made a big difference. If treatments stop, Colton digresses.

Those treatments are not covered by insurance. Dr Frazier is working to create a non profit organization that would help to fund treatment for special needs children. Tamera Tanner is also in the process of getting scholarships for her horseback riding therapy.

 

This story helps show that Autism can reverse if you do the right things. One of the best suggestions would be to not introduce the toxins into the body. You need to be aware of the dangers of vaccination. WAVEis a great organization that can help your understanding on this topic.
