Are Vaccine Pushers Putting Pregnant Women at Risk?

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

It seems as if the makers of vaccinations have no respect for human life - and the same is true for the government agencies that stand behind them in support of their propaganda. I have long been concerned by the way vaccinations are pushed on parents and the amount of vaccines administered these days to the poor children who have no choice in the matter.

With educational systems requiring vaccinations for admittance to schools, parents are feeling as if they are left with no other choice but to vaccinate their children. With the long term and negative effects of vaccinations still not completely understood and the effectiveness of many vaccinations still unproven, putting children at risk with vaccinations strikes me as a selfish and irresponsible tactic to make money. Lately, however, the vaccine pushers have really gone too far. (more…)

Chelation Therapy Has Been Approved — by the FDA as a Treatment for Lead Poisoning

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Chelation therapy is a natural way to detoxify the body of toxic chemical and harmful metals (heavy metal poisoning). Chelation therapy involves the injection of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). It is a mean by which an organic substance (Edta) binds to minerals and ionized metals (electrically charged) such as iron, calcium, lead, copper, etc.

The first use of Chelation is in Germany in 1930. A decade later, EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic) was used by some American workers suffering from lead poisoning. After many medical studies, in 1950, Dr. Norman Clarke, director of Providence Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, noted the treatment with EDTA can improve or restore health from many diseases. These improvements include, but are not limited to reduction in angina pain, decrease skin diseases, loss and keeping a normal weight, decrease in heart disease, improving memory faculties and urgency of the senses (sight, hearing, smell), increased energy, etc. (more…)

Should our kids play together?

Strife over shots: Should our kids play together?
Divided on vaccines, parents are polarized on the playground sidelines
By Jacqueline Stenson

Karey Williams never thought a parenting decision would come between her and a good friend. The two had known one another for a decade, supported each other through infertility treatment and had their first babies around the same time. But when she told the friend that she had stopped vaccinating her daughter at age 1, the relationship abruptly ended.

“She said, ‘Well then, your child can’t come into my house,’” recalls Williams, 47, who lives in the Chicago area. (more…)

Aluminum Toxicity - Part 1

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

From the December 2007 Idaho Observer:

Aluminum Toxicity: A misdiagnosed epidemic (Part 1)
The Back to Basics column is traditionally dedicated to rediscovering how herbs and elements from the natural world are gifts from God and have been put here to keep our minds and bodies healthy, and restore them to health when they become ill.

This month, however, we will cover the basics of aluminum, an omni-present element that is mined by man and proliferated in forms that are wreaking havoc on the minds and bodies of millions.

By Ingri Cassel

Aluminum is the third most abundant element (8 percent) in the Earth’s crust, exceeded by oxygen (47 percent) and silicon (28 percent). Because of its strong affinity to oxygen, aluminum never occurs as a metal in nature but is found only in the form of its compounds, such as alumina.

This strong affinity to oxygen also explains why it withstood all attempts to prepare it in its elemental form until well into the 19th century. The metal’s name is derived from alumen, the Latin name for alum.

Mercury Found in Western North Carolina

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

From the Charlotte Observer - High levels of toxic mercury have been found in walleye caught in the Western N.C. lakes of Santeetlah and Fontana, prompting a state health warning.

Mercury occurs naturally but is released into the environment by burning coal, such as in power plants. When it falls into water, it can accumulate in fish. Eating high-mercury fish over time can pose health risks, especially for children and developing fetuses.

N.C. health officials warned pregnant women, women who may become pregnant and children under 15 not to eat walleye from lakes Santeetlah and Fontana. Others should eat no more than one meal of the fish a week.

Health advisories exist for several freshwater fish species caught in the rivers of Eastern North Carolina, and for largemouth bass caught anywhere in the state. For more information: www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/fish or call the N.C. Division of Public Health at 919-707-5900.

Burning Coal Has Increased Arctic Toxicity

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

From RedOrbit - The burning of coal in North America and western Europe has been a prime contributor to heavy metal pollution in the Arctic, according to a new study.

Scientists from the Desert Research Institute measured levels of cadmium, lead and thallium in a Greenland ice core and found them to be linked other chemicals that point to coal as the origin.

These chemicals accumulate in the bodies of plants and animals that live in the region.  Some Arctic caribou, whales, polar bears and even humans carry high levels of the heavy metals in their bodies.  These metals can cause a number of medical conditions.

Study: Possible diabetes link to arsenic in water

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — A new analysis of government data is the first to link low-level arsenic exposure, possibly from drinking water, with type 2 diabetes, researchers say.

The study’s limitations make more research necessary. And public water systems were on their way to meeting tougher U.S. arsenic standards as the data were collected.

Still, the analysis of 788 adults’ medical tests found a nearly fourfold increase in the risk of diabetes in people with low arsenic concentrations in their urine compared with people with even lower levels.

Research outside the United States has linked high levels of arsenic in drinking water with diabetes. It’s the link at low levels that’s new. (more…)

Monitor Your Seafood Consumption and Choose Wisely

Friday, August 15th, 2008

By Dr. Rashid A. Buttar, D.O., FACAM, FAAPM, FAAIM

Media reports on the recent studies showing high levels of mercury in various types of seafood have succeeded in scaring people, but few if any of these articles have given people what they need most - sound advice.

Seafood consumption is crucial to the proper development.  Fish like trout, salmon and sardines are among the greatest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are well-known for being great for the brain and heart.  In addition, many people enjoy eating fish beccause it can be flavorful, relatively light and low in saturated fat.  The seafood industry is also an important part of the US economy.

But we cannot and should not ignore the data. Mercury is a known neurotoxin and is the second most dangerous substance known to humankind. The government has long warned of the dangers of exposure to lead, which has been linked to lower IQ scores and other serious meladies. But there have been comparatively few studies on the health effects from mercury exposure. Still, the studies that have been done make clear that mercury must be avoided. (more…)

Reducing Heavy Metal Exposure

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

As followup to a post we told you about at Nutrition777.com a few days ago…

“We are being bombarded with toxins on a daily basis-and what we don’t know about those products may be harmful.” Dr. Don Colbert

What one thing can you do, starting today, to lessen your exposure to heavy metals?

Last week I introduced the subject of heavy metals that we’re continually being exposed to and how they can affect our health. It’s not a popular, nor an oft-talked about subject in most circles. However, more and more advocates of living healthy lifestyles are blowing the whistle on heavy metal toxicity. (more…)
