Things to avoid

One part of healthy living relates to avoiding certain activities and substances. We will be discussing those in this section.

Vaccination

Vaccination is basically a mass-murder weapon used by the elite to kill all the poor who live in countries where they have no rights to avoid vaccination and to kill all those in rich countries who are unaware that the health industry can't be trusted. Vaccination is exceedingly profitable and so there's a huge incentive for the industry to use its financial and legal power to make it mandatory across the globe and to continually reduce the people's access to legal exemptions and waivers. People against vaccination are written-off as hippies and consipracy-theorists, and if they present any real evidence they're quickly shot down with pseudo-science about the amazing success of the polio vaccine.

But even though the CDC's website still promulgates the blatant untruth that the Salk polio vaccine was a modern medical success, the reality is to the contrary, officials at the National Institutes of Health were convinced that the vaccine was contributing to a rise in polio and paralysis cases in the 1950s. In 1957 Edward McBean documented in his book The Poisoned Needle that government officials stated the vaccine was "worthless as a preventive and dangerous to take." Some states such as Idaho where several people died after receiving the Salk vaccine, wanted to hold the vaccine makers legally liable. Dr. Salk himself testified in 1976 that his live virus vaccine, which continued to be distributed in the US until 2000, was the "principal if not sole cause" of all polio cases in the US since 1961. However, after much lobbying and political leveraging, private industry seduced the US Public Health Service to proclaim the vaccine safe. Although this occurred in the 1950s, this same private industry game plan to coerce and buy off government health agencies has become epidemic with practically every vaccine brought to market during the past 50 years.

A reality TV star (Kristin Cavallari) recently announced that she does not vaccinate her child.

All hell promptly broke loose. Accusations of being an "anti-science idiot conspiracy theorist" are rampant.

I have to speak up, at the risk of being bombarded with the bizarre and vile hatred that so often comes from SOME (I said SOME, not ALL) pro-vaccine people.

I do not vaccinate, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jenny McCarthy, nor Andrew Wakefield, nor any celebrity or conspiracy theorist or science-denier.

It's funny yet sad to see some pro-vaxxers are so heavily programmed that they continue to think any parent who questions vaccine safety and efficacy is worshipping at the Jenny McCarthy altar.

It's really easy to tell when people have been spoon-fed what the media and pharmaceutical industry tells them, and fail to do their own research into vaccines.

They call anyone who questions vaccines "anti-science," even though (in my experience) parents who choose not to vaccinate may have done a lot more reading on the topic than those who simply follow their doctor's orders. And no, not reading just from "conspiracy theorist" blogs. Alex Jones' Info Wars is not my idea of solid cited sources.

They say things like: "Vaccines don't cause autism!" and "Vaccines are safe!" and "Keep your unvaccinated kids away from my vaccinated kids!" and "My vaccinated kids will never have to worry about getting a deadly disease!" and "The recent outbreak of whooping cough/measles/the flu is the fault of non-vaccinating people!" and "Vaccines have never killed anyone!"

All of the above are misguided at best and completely false at worst.

In my experience, the majority of non-vaccinating parents do not count autism as a top reason to decline vaccination, yet many pro-vaccine people think that's what we're afraid of. The scared-of-autism hype is media-manufactured, nothing more, and baselessly blamed on all non-vaccinating parents. Forget about autism and vaccines-- there are many, many other issues at hand here. It has been confirmed that vaccines CAN and DO cause neurological issues.

Vaccines have never been transparently tested for safety in terms of the "trace amounts" of neurotoxins and carcinogens, and how they add up over time, over hundreds of injections. Vaccine injury is real. It is not a myth or conspiracy theory.

If your child is fully vaccinated, being scared of unvaccinated kids is nonsensical. Fully vaccinated people contract and spread diseases too.

Vaccines are not 100% effective, and in many cases the effectiveness wanes and/or is significantly less than the overall risk of contracting diseases or experiencing vaccine injury. Getting your child vaccinated DOES NOT by any means guarantee they will remain disease-free.

Many of the recent outbreaks of flu, whooping cough, measles, and even polio are in VACCINATED people. The media publishes an article about a whooping cough outbreak, people blindly blame non-vaxxers, and yet the article itself will tell you it was an outbreak amongst vaccinated people.

Vaccines absolutely HAVE killed in the past, and will kill again in the future. Death from vaccines may be a rare side effect, but that does not mean adverse reactions from vaccines are rare.

How do we explain the eradication of disease, if not for vaccines? If you actually look at the decline of many diseases vs. the introduction of each vaccine, you'll see that clean water, sanitation, and proper nutrition played a larger part in overall health. One example is the Bubonic Plague. It was eradicated thanks to sanitation, not vaccines. Clean water and sanitation (and antibiotics as truly needed), is what helps prevent/treat disease. Breastfeeding is also an essential tool of preventing serious childhood disease.

This is why vaccine programs in impoverished nations fail so drastically. The oral/live Polio vaccine is responsible for CAUSING polio to spread, because the live vaccine sheds through fecal matter. Another example of how clean water and sanitation are needed:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/health-july-dec09-polio_08-24/

Keep in mind that the United States has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, and yet one of the worst child mortality rates in the developed world. If we are to believe vaccines keep us healthy and prevent disease, our child mortality rates should not be so drastically worse than other developed nations with clean water and sanitation, and much lower vaccine rates.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170075/

Concerning measles, because there have been recent "outbreaks": measles are, largely, NOT SERIOUS. The incident rate of measles in the US is 0.7% per 1 million population. Severe complications from measles are rare and can be prevented with breastfeeding, nutrition, and hydration (yes-- despite what so many people believe, using real fresh FOOD full of vitamins and minerals does more to promote health than an intramuscular shot contaminated with known carcinogens and neurotoxins).

Lack of vitamin A in the diet has proven to worsen measles significantly. Instead of blaming non-vaccinating people, we might do well to consider pointing the finger at our culture of extremely unhealthy daily dietary choices that is raising a nation of malnourished children.

The measles vaccine failure rate is about 5%, and natural immunity (when a healthy kid gets a mild illness and their immune system is strengthened for life because of it) has proven to be more effective. Because natural immunity is more effective, and because fully vaccinated people are also contracting and spreading diseases, basing the entire argument of vaccines on "herd immunity," and blaming non-vaccinating parents for outbreaks is inaccurate.

It's interesting how the media constantly blames non-vaccinating parents, even though we remain a small minority, instead of reporting on vaccine failures.

Parents deserve to know the lack of evidence and the multiple ethical issues with vaccines. For instance the Hep B vaccine is simply absurd in most cases, and yet is routinely given.

The Rotavirus vaccine is also questionable because the risk of serious complication from rotavirus is very low and even lower with breastfeeding.

The Diphtheria vaccine is another one which, like the whooping cough vaccine, has shown to need lifelong boosters for effectiveness, and the chance of contracting diphtheria is very low.

Tetanus is another example. Only around 30 cases are reported every year, and most of the people who die from it are over 75 years old. Tetanus is only a concern when a wound is so deep it is not oxygenated (doesn't bleed). If exposure to tetanus is suspected, the tetanus immunoglobulin will be effective; a post-exposure tetanus vaccine (which is what is usually administered) will not be.

And with diphtheria and tetanus, the pertussis vaccine is automatically included (at least in the US). Because pertussis is a higher risk, it's unfortunate that parents cannot consider this one separately. If we are to believe the data gathered thus far (which is questionable, see the links below on whooping cough vaccine and ethical issues), the risk of death from pertussis in unvaccinated people is .000004%, while in vaccinated people it is .000002%. Again, this vaccine requires lifelong booster shots, which most adults are not up-to-date on (the horror!). The waning protection of this vaccine is the reason we've been seeing an increase in cases-- not unvaccinated people (who still remain a tiny minority).

And, since we cannot say "vaccines are safe," we really cannot claim that the risks of vaccine injury are outweighed by the small risks of these diseases.

Did you know billions of dollars have been paid out to vaccine-injured people in the past few years? Here is the government database (keep in mind that because vaccine reactions are often denied and swept under the rug, it's fair to assume these numbers are low):

http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/statisticsreports.html#awardspaid

But who cares about those kids anyway? Canary in the coal mine, right?

And since people always bring up autism and Andrew Wakefield, it's important to mention Poul Thorsen, the CDC scientist who was hired to "debunk" Wakefield's work. He "executed a scheme to steal grant money awarded by the CDC... Thorsen allegedly diverted over $1 million of the CDC grant money to his own personal bank account... According to bank account records, Thorsen purchased a home in Atlanta, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, an Audi automobile, and a Honda SUV with funds that he received from the CDC grants."

https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/fugitives/profiles.asp#thorsen

But don't pay any attention to that at all. And definitely don't get curious about why everyone knows Wakefield was a "fraud," but no one knows about Thorsen. It has nothing to do with the fact that the majority of media reports tearing Wakefield apart were orchestrated by scandalized media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose son is on the board for and profits from the MMR shot...

And then we have issues like this: major ethical concerns over vaccine safety information. Why? Because the people who profit from vaccines are also those who claim they are safe. They fund the studies.

http://www.kpbs.org/news/2010/dec/15/whooping-cough-experts-rely-vaccine-companies-mone/

Especially when major pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline are fined $3 billion for fraud, falsifying safety information, bribing doctors and scientists. Yes, I will blindly trust the vaccine safety information that comes from these organizations. To not blindly trust would be "anti-science," I've been told.

http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/02/news/companies/GlaxoSmithKline-settlement/index.htm?hpt=hp_t1

Also, as one example of vaccine failure, measles outbreaks in FULLY VACCINATED people:

http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/case+measles+reported+Calgary/9482060/story.html

And whooping cough in FULLY VACCINATED people:

http://www.nbcnews.com/health/cold-flu/whooping-cough-vaccine-may-not-halt-spread-illness-f2D11655363

But we're not supposed to pay any attention to any of this. We're not supposed to look at the risks of specific diseases vs. the risks (that we're aware of due to limited transparent safety testing) of vaccines. Don't question vaccines at all-- it makes you an anti-science conspiracy theorist.

We're supposed to continue to inject neurotoxins into the bodies of children whose blood-brain barrier may still be permeable. As parents, we cannot even question vaccines without being verbally attacked, called idiots, threatened with CPS, and refused as patients at doctors' offices. And that is what's most troubling of all.

Parents have EVERY RIGHT to question vaccines and demand transparency and safety. We have every right to make fully informed decisions for our children without being ridiculed and threatened.

If you want parents to vaccinate, start demanding that the money be removed from the medicine. Start demanding transparent, ethical safety and efficacy testing. Start advocating for parents' rights to ask questions and have them answered by people who have no ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Fight for vaccines that are free of toxins, chemicals, and additives. Fight for the children who have been injured by vaccines.

Support parents who dare to question vaccines, instead of painting them as "anti-science" idiots, when we are just trying to make the healthiest choices for our children.

Foods to Avoid

Monsanto buys justice.jpg

Avoid supporting corrupt food corporations with your purchasing decisions, especially Monsanto who are effectively trying to become the middle-man for all food consumption in the world. Their aim is to turn healthy food into a costly luxury that only the rich have access to, and the poor will only have access to disgusting toxic pseudo-food that Monsanto and other large corporations own the rights to.

Aspartame

Common supermarket products

By Emma Sgourakis, Certified Nutritional Therapist

In a recent article, seven experts in the fields of both food and the environment (scientists, doctors and farmers) were asked just one simple question: “What foods do you avoid?” Their responses had nothing to do with calories or nutrient-density, but all to do with their insider knowledge on how certain seemingly “healthy” foods that they closely work with are produced and packaged. The findings are scary.

If the farmer who grows the food won’t eat it himself, then I won’t touch it either.

Processed foods, sugar, fast-foods

Aluminium

The following additives contain aluminium compounds: E173, E520, E521, E523 E541, E545, E554, E555 E556, E559, E1452 and E598. Antacids quite often contain aluminum trisilicate as does buffered aspirin. Foods containing aluminium based additives include dry cake mixes, pastries and croissants made from frozen dough, processed cheeses, some donuts and waffles, check muffins for E541 (sodium aluminum phosphate), and food coloring. The list of substances containing aluminium salts is quite depressing. The caking agents added to salt can be aluminum compounds. The common ones are E544, E545 and E546.

There are several herbs that are useful in the elimination of heavy metals. Tenna Merchent wrote her odyssey of detoxing herself and her son from aluminum poisoning in her highly readable book, "He’s not Autistic But...How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss." Merchant claims that one should use pure vegetable glycerine to eliminate mercury; bladderwrack, a seaweed, for aluminum; potassium for excess copper; and horsetail (shavegrass) for lead.

Others have found that cilantro and chlorella are helpful for mercury elimination with many advocates making a delicious pesto using cilantro that includes lots of raw garlic.

Again, bio-available minerals are important and many herbs are excellent sources of these important nutrients. Dr. John R. Christopher has a formula that has been specifically designed for eliminating these heavy metals from the body. His "Heavy Mineral Herbal" formula contains bugleweed, cilantro, yellowdock and lobelia.

Another herb that is gaining popularity is turmeric, which contains curcumin. Using this "spice" in therapeutic doses has shown promise in treating Alzheimer’s patients, who are known to be loaded with both mercury and aluminum.

Microwave ovens

There are three main categories of adverse health effects resulting from the use of microwave ovens:

  • Category I, Cancer-Causing Effects
  • Category II, Nutritive Destruction of Foods
  • Category III, Biological Effects of Exposure

For detailed background information, please see: Microwave ovens

Fluoride

There's an excellent article from Global Research on fluoridation here (and an older one here), another good page covering many issues and links here and a well researched research document on water fluoridation in Ireland here.

In 2003 the UK government passed a new law, which exempts them and water companies from liability against claimants who have been damaged or killed from fluoridated water.

Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF)

It’s easy to forget that we are essentially “electrical beings.” That is to say, all of the biological functions that occur within the human body are regulated by electricity, from the beating of our heart to the functions of our brain to the metabolic reactions that occur within every one of our cells.

When you think about it this way, it only seems logical that our constant exposure to the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by the electrical devices that surround us would result in health consequences of one kind or another. Most of us are surrounded day and night by wi-fi signals, cell phones, cordless phones, computers and a myriad of other electrical devices — all of which emit EMFs.

According to Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, author of Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Other Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution, we’re exposed to 100 million times the level of electromagnetic radiation that our grandparents were.

As Dr. Gittleman explains in Zapped, research has shown that the human body is extremely sensitive to even the slightest radiation exposures, like that emitted by cell phones and cordless phones. The body picks up these artificial electrical frequencies and they become intertwined with its own natural frequencies, interfering with cellular communication and creating a biochemical stress response.

Ways to promote health

Plant-based diet

If I could make a single dietary recommendation to people looking to get healthier, it would be to move to a plant-based diet.

Eating plants has been the best change I’ve made in my diet — and I’ve made a bunch of them, from intermittent fasting to low-carb experiments to eating 6 meals a day to eating almost all protein to eliminating sugar (all at various times).

Plants have made me slimmer, healthier, stronger, more energetic — and have increased my life expectancy (more on all this below).

Of course, the diet is simple, but moving away from the Standard American Diet to a plant-based one isn’t always so simple for most people.

Changing your diet can be difficult, but in this guide I’ll share a bit about how to change, talk a bit about why, and what you might eat.

Sun

from reader comment on original photo Chrishawn Manley: "Also, if you know you are going out in sun for long periods, take 6 calcium lactate pills... You will NOT burn. Burning in from too much vitamin D and not enough calcium to absorb it. The two go hand in hand! It works... We use it in our family. Standard Process Inc. is the brand we use. We get it from our chiropractor who practices in holistic approach to health. You can check out standard processes website too."

THC

/Run-from-the-Cure-2014-Updated-The-Rick-Simpson-Story-Second-Edition:7|300|right}The US Govt has known since 1974 that Cannabis cures Cancer. In '72 Richard Nixon wanted a larger budget for his war on drugs. He thought that if he proved Cannabis caused lung cancer like cigarettes do, he would get the support he needed. He gave the University of Virginia 2 years to do a study on the effects of THC on the body. In '74 the study was completed. It turns out, THC when ingested in highly concentrated forms (such as eating Cannabis oil) will attack any mutated cells in your body while strengthening and rejuvenating the healthy cells. They found the PERFECT cure for Cancer. It worked fast, it worked well, it worked on many different forms of Cancer in ALL stages and it had ZERO harmful side effects. (Unlike Chemo which deteriorates your entire body and kills 1 in 5 patients) Not only that, but it disolves ALL forms of tumors and can even combat superbugs like MRSA. When Richard Nixon saw the results of the study he was FURIOUS. He threw the entire report in the trash and deemed the study classified. We only found out about the study a few years ago thanks to dedicated medical and law professionals who filed Freedom of Information Requests.

The Govt lied about the study for many reasons. One of the main reasons is Pharmaceutical Companies. They spend billions every year lobbying to keep Cannabis illegal because they make TRILLIONS off Cancer drugs and research. They are already well aware that Cannabis cures Cancer. (They cant legally patent a 15,000 year old plant) They have a great con going at the moment. Cancer patients and their loved ones will spend their entire life savings or even sell their houses and businesses in order to pay for Chemotherapy and other Cancer treatment drugs. Alot of the time they spend all that money and their loved one dies anyway. If the public found out that the Govt has been lying for over 40 years, that MILLIONS of lives could have been saved and that the dying could grow the cure they need in their backyard... The Public would be going APESHIT.

Essiac

Back in 1922, a Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse noticed some scar tissue on the breast of an elderly woman. The woman told her that doctors had diagnosed her with breast cancer years before. However, the woman didn’t want to risk surgery, nor did she have the money for it. Providentially, she had met an old Indian medicine man who told her that he could cure her cancer with an herbal tea. The woman proceeded to tell Caisse about the ingredients in the tea.

About a year later, Caisse was walking beside a retired doctor who pointed to a common weed and stated, “Nurse Caisse, if people would use this weed there would be little or no cancer in the world.” This “weed” (sheep sorrel) was one of the herbs in the medicine man’s formula. The doctor had watched his horse cure itself of cancer by repeatedly grazing in a particular part of the pasture where sheep sorrel grew.

In 1924, Caisse wanted to test the tea on her aunt who had been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer and was given less than six months to live. Caisse asked the physician, Dr. R. O. Fisher, for permission to try the tea on her aunt, and he consented. Her aunt drank the herbal tea daily for two months and recovered. Amazingly, she lived for 20 more years! Caisse also tested the tea on her mother who had been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and had been given less than two months to live. Remarkably, her mother lived another 18 years!

What was in the tea? 54% Burdock Root (and seed), 35% Sheep Sorrel (leaf, stem, root and seed), 9% Slippery Elm bark, and 2% Turkey (or Indian) Rhubarb. She named the tea “ESSIAC” (which is Caisse spelled backwards) and it is a decoction, meaning that the herbs are boiled and then steeped for several hours.

Essiac Tea is now used all over the world by cancer patients who want to avoid chemo and radiation.

Bicarbonate

Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an Italian Oncologist found that cancer is not genetic, but is caused by a fungus called Candida Albicans which can be destroyed by sodium bicarbonate.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe has been used for centuries by Celts and others, in modern times it was recommended Steiner as a cure for cancer. It has been used for over 70 years as a cancer cure in the form of a medicine called Iscador.

Food-Induced Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a natural process that occurs in the human body to maintain a balance between cell death and cell renewal. Cells that are abnormal, damaged or no longer needed are “killed off” and flushed from the system.

Often referred to as “cell suicide,” this process is crucial to removing cells that no longer function correctly due to age or mutation so that they can be replaced with new, healthy cells.

Apoptosis keeps your central nervous system and your immune system running smoothly.
