Medical
Insanity
When medical science abandons safe medical practices for
highly dangerous ones we have a serious situation that we
need to look at under a microscope. When the law protects
organizations, people and corporations that inject, for
example, mercury containing vaccines into newborn infants
and children in the first years of life, a substance that
burns their brain sometimes kills or more frequently
causes autism and many other neurological disorders we
have a huge catastrophic problem that casts a serious
doubt on the sanity of those involved. When we contrast
this horror with another one that puts people in jail for
using a drug fantastically safer, we have a
psychological wind shear that highlights, in no
uncertain terms, an until now hidden mass insanity
creating enormous problems for society. 
Medical
Elites
Doctor John Martin, who previously conducted vaccine
research at the National Institute of Health (NIH), is a
scientist familiar with the inner circles at the FDA and
the CDC says, "My reaction to the members of The Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that I have met
personally is that: First, they avoid any criticism of
their own actions. Second, they work toward the interest
of vaccine manufacturers in the sincere belief that
vaccines are good."
Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices
An advisory group to the federal government is
considering recommending that all Americans receive annual
flu vaccinations, a step that would result in the largest
vaccination enterprise in United States history. The
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is a
group of people in the background of the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) making recommendations on what
federal health policy should be at the CDC. Staffers of
both the FDA and the CDC are known for their close
financial and working ties with the pharmaceutical people
and conflict of interest is a real problem in both of
these agencies, a problem being raised in congressional
hearings but one getting regularly swept under the carpet.
Medical
Causes or Murder One
Doctors and medical examiners are notoriously prone to
gloss over the official cause of death when mortality
occurs in close proximity to vaccine administration. But
doctors like William C. Torch found in 103 SIDS deaths in
12 different countries, more than two-thirds closely
followed vaccination shots, specifically the DTP shot --
26 percent within three days, 37 percent within a week and
70 percent within three weeks. Of 771 total claims filed
in the Federal Court responsible for vaccine damages in
the United States between 1990 through mid-1998, 660, or
86 percent, contained assertions that DTP was the cause of
death. And 43 percent were classified by medical
authorities at time of death as SIDS cases meaning no
known cause.
Environmental
Medicine
More than 60 influential scientists, including 20 Nobel
laureates, issued a statement this week asserting that the
Bush administration had systematically distorted
scientific fact in the service of policy goals on the
environment, health, and on biomedical research. The
United States government stands accused of repeatedly
censoring and suppressing reports by its own scientists
and disbanding government panels that provide unwanted
advice according to the New York Times.
A Tale of Two Hammers
The ruin that the medical industrial complex is
perpetuating is in evidence everywhere, killing alone in
the United States at least a quarter of a million people a
year according to Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns
Hopkins School of Hygiene. Yet the picture from America
tells only a small fraction of the story. Where the
medical establishment is taking humanity in the future can
best be seen in Africa where resident populations are
starving. The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization released a report recently saying that the
number of hungry people worldwide has swelled in recent
years, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, because of war,
drought, AIDS and trade barriers. Between 1999 and 2001,
the report found, more than 840 million people, or one in
seven, went hungry. Most alarming of all, between 1995 and
2001, the number of malnourished people across the
developing world grew by an average of 4.5 million a year.
According to the United Nations the rise in hunger came
even though the world produced ample food.
Heads
will Roll
Who does the medical media work for? It's a simple
question. Why does the medical media ignore all the
controversies that exist around major medical issues and
concentrate on reporting only on the official party lines
of the CDC, FDA, AMA and the World Health Organization?
These are questions that will lead to a kind of scandal
the public media has never faced, one that will make the
one that the BBC is presently facing seem small.
Foot and
Mouth Disease at the AMA
On a current web page called 'Vaccine Anxiety,' posted to
physicians, the AMA's online e-magazine starts with, "The
individuals and organizations on a mission to sow the
seeds of doubt about childhood immunizations may be weak
on science but are savvy with (virtual) technology." It's
always an interesting thing for a psychologist to watch
how people and organizations cannot help but project their
shadow side. In this case accusing these individuals and
organizations of being weak on science. It's a sad thing
to see such a successful and large organization like the
AMA stooping to low blows when it comes to dealing with
such important issues. It's also tragic to see in the
projection that it is the AMA itself that is weak on
science when it comes to childhood vaccinations. Certainly
they show weakness when taking 'cheap' shots at serious
people confronting a very serious subject.
A Medical
Serial Killer
In all the world of medicine we can perhaps weigh in all
the evidence and perhaps establish among all the medicines
offered to patients, what drugs could compete for the most
dangerous and deadly of all. The top candidates would
easily include antiviral drugs, chemotherapy routines,
glucocorticoids and cytotoxic drugs. But most of these
will not kill you in one application, nor in two or three,
though they can easily make you very sick. What we are
hunting for is the real kicker, the one that can do a
person in with one application, with one dose. We are
looking for a killer, one with a punch strong enough to
lay people out on slabs everyday.
Landmark
Federal Court Ruling
This past Monday, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of United States
District Court for the District of Columbia issued a
preliminary injunction halting the Pentagon from "inoculating
service members without their consent." He ruled that the
anthrax vaccine used in the Pentagon's mandatory program
was "an investigational drug," being used for an
unapproved purpose. That means that the Pentagon has been
in violation of the Nuremberg Code and has been using its
own troops as guinea pigs against their will. The
injunction is the result of a class action lawsuit brought
by military personnel and civilians working for the
Pentagon. In his ruling, Sullivan pointed to the apparent
risk in receiving the anthrax vaccination, noting that the
rate of adverse reaction was recently revised upward from
0.2 percent to between 5 percent and 35 percent.
FDA
Reform
A key advisory committee to the Food and Drug
Administration recommended last week (October 2003) that
silicone breast implants be allowed back on the market
more than a decade after they were largely banished over
safety concerns. The decision was a close call, with
nine panelists favoring reinstatement and six opposed
because of worries about possible long-term dangers.
This admission, printed by the New York Times, exposes the
heart of the problem with the FDA and its entire process
of approvals of drugs, pesticides, food additives, medical
procedures, vaccines and other related issues of public
concern.
Deadly
Needle Waiting for Every Newborn
The medical news that is released by organizations like
the BBC and the New York Times is not reliable information
but “spin” well designed to confuse, misinform and preach
the party line of medical authorities. On the 23rd of
August in 2001 the BBC reported that there is a safe and
effective vaccine for hepatitis B. On the 28th of October
in 2003 it reported that “A group of patients (in England)
are planning legal action claiming they suffered side
effects after being vaccinated against Hepatitis B. Around
50 patients are now planning legal action, claiming they
became ill after being vaccinated.”
Medical
Armageddon
Recently a New York Times editorial mused about
testosterone replacement therapy stating, "One wonders
whether 'another' medical debacle is in the making."
Medical debacles are common occurrences these days, so
common that every ten days, in the United States alone,
the same number of people die from the effects of
prescription drugs as were killed in the September 11th
World Trade Center attack.? Dr. Barbara Starfield of the
Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Healthreported
in the Journal of the American Medical Association that
250,000 people in the US were dying each year from errors
in medication, unnecessary surgery, infections caught in
hospitals, and 106,000 per year from non-error, negative
effects of drugs.
Antiretroviral Drugs and AIDS - The Medical News
According to the New York Times both China and South
Africa have announced plans to distribute a triple
cocktail of life-prolonging antiretroviral drugs free to
all who need it. Until recently, South Africa's top
officials have resisted these drugs because of a deep
belief, shared by others, that antiretroviral drugs are
really "poisons." Bowing to enormous international
pressure both countries have decided to invest fortunes in
drugs that do nothing to cure Aids. Lost, even to the
international press, are the lessons from California where
the history of fighting this immune disease is oldest. "I
have a large population of people who have chosen not to
take any antiretrovirals," says Donald Abrams, M.D.,
director of the AIDS program at San Francisco General
Hospital. "They've watched all their friends go on the
antiviral bandwagon and die." A study published in the New
England Journal of Medicine in 1995 showed that one of the
things that long-term AIDS survivors had in commo n was
that they didn't take antiretroviral drugs.
Medical
Marijuana and Aspirin
The House of Lords in England has made its inquiry into
calls for laws to be changed that would permit the medical
use of cannabinoids, and to permit the medical use of
cannabis itself. Canada, one of the largest most
conservative nations on earth has legalized it, as have
several states in the US for medicinal purposes. The winds
of globalization are blowing in the direction of
legalization but law is not the issue here, intelligent
medicine is. It's highly ironic, looking back, that the
lone opponent to the criminalization of marijuana in 1937
was a representative of the American Medical Association
(AMA) who said "it would seem worthwhile to maintain its
status as a medicinal agent." Again over AMA objections,
marijuana was removed from the American pharmacopoeia in
1941, and any hope for further research or legal medical
use of it came to an end.
Longevity
& Health
Longevity and health are related subjects. In fact they
are inseparable. Both are crucial subjects if one wishes
at all to avoid the horrors of disease and untimely
miserable death. Disease obviously involves a great deal
of pain and suffering and does the utmost to shorten our
natural life spans. In an age where disease is on the rise
one does well to invest oneself in a reasonable study of
basic subjects like health and longevity. What is the
point of living longer if we are going to spend the ending
part of our life suffering from diseases? As everyone
knows, cancer is not a good way to go.
The Dark
Age of Medicine
"Having watched emergency room physicians resuscitate
comatose patients or surgeons fighting for hours to
maintain the life of severely injured car accident victims,
I would not agree that 'all' of medicine is in the Dark
Ages," said Dr. John Martin. Many are the voices that
argue, though, that there is a dark malignancy at the
heart of pharmaceutical firms, the FDA and the CDC, all of
whom share personnel in common. Despite the brilliant
light of dedicated doctors in emergency and intensive care
units, western allopathic medicine has been plunged into a
dark age of thought and deed that will be remembered with
shame for many centuries to come. Medicine may preach
healing and science yet it's hard to think of anything
that is more involved with unnecessary death and human
suffering.
The State
of the World
It is most typical in our world today to deny reality in
any and every way we can. When our world seems to be
falling apart many cope by pretending that it's not, thus
reality sneaks up from behind even though clear trends are
well visible. There are painful realities to be confronted
in life on individual and collective levels. It is
unfortunate but true that people prefer to deny both their
feelings and reality and this lands us in a whole lot of
trouble. David Reynolds, an American exponent of Japanese
Morita psychotherapy said, "People deny reality. They
fight against real feelings caused by real circumstances.
They build mental worlds of shoulds, oughts, and
might-have-beens. Real changes begin with real appraisal
and acceptance of what is. Then realistic action is
possible."
