I mean...... I'm not even sure what to say. Granted that this article is from Bloomberg, which is a financially focused sites, but the very fact that they are APPLAUDING this, is so beyond appalling that I'm physically restraining my self from breaking into my exmilitary linguistical experimental vocabulary. It's bad.
Of course you have to love the transparency that is coming out in the media on these subjects. Just a couple of weeks ago Bayer CEO told reporters that their cancer drugs are only for Western patients that can "afford them".
Gilead CEO Becomes Billionaire on $84,000 Hepatitis Drug
march 3, 2014
John C. Martin, the chief executive officer of Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD),
has become a billionaire on the prospects of a powerful new hepatitis C
drug that’s attracting scrutiny from payers and activists over its
$1,000 per pill price tag.
Gilead’s drug, Sovaldi,
was approved in December, and is among the first of a new wave of
hepatitis C treatments that can cure the liver disease faster and more
reliably than previous drugs. Sovaldi, which costs $84,000 for a 12-week
course of treatment, is expected to produce $4.2 billion in revenue
this year, rising to $8.1 billion in 2015, according to the average
estimate of 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
“This is a huge change in the approach to hepatitis C treatment,” Leonard Berkowitz,
chief of infectious diseases at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, said by
phone. Sovaldi and other drugs like it are producing “spectacular
improvements” in cure rates with minimal toxicity, he said.
Martin,
who joined Gilead in 1990 and became CEO six years later, helped the
company become the world’s largest maker of HIV medicines by developing
drug combinations that are easy to use for patients, including a
medicine called Atripla that combines three HIV-suppressing drugs and a
pill with four anti-HIV drugs called Stribild.

Companies are racing to come
up with oral regimens that eliminate the need for interferon, a standard
injected drug that can cause flu-like side-effects. In February, Gilead
applied for U.S. approval for an interferon-free treatment that
combines Sovaldi and another hepatitis C drug.
“Most people
think the combination pill that Gilead has will be the biggest thing
ever in hepatitis C,” said Berkowitz, who treats many HIV-positive
positive patients who are co-infected with HCV.
Martin, 62, has a
net worth of $1.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires
Index. He owns 4.2 million shares of Gilead and 6.4 million vested
options, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. He’s also sold more than $550 million in Gilead stock since
2002, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Organic Chemistry
The
number of options and shares are in part attributable to Martin’s long
tenure at the company, most of it as CEO, said Cara Miller, a
spokeswoman for Gilead, in an e-mail. The cost of a 12-week regimen of
Sovaldi along with interferon and another drug “is consistent with and
in many cases actually less” than older treatments that require longer
duration of therapy, she said.
Gilead closed down 1.6 percent to $81.45 in New York.
The billionaire, who has a doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of Chicago
and an MBA from Golden Gate University, has spent most of his career
working on antiviral drugs, and has been an active dealmaker, willing to
pay a premium for companies with drugs that show promise.
After
one of its hepatitis C compounds had setbacks in early testing, Gilead
acquired Sovaldi by buying Pharmasset Inc. for almost $11 billion in
2012, at a price that represented an 89 percent premium to Pharmasset’s
price before the deal was announced in November 2011. Gilead stock has
more than quadrupled since then.
‘Brilliant Transaction’
“It was a brilliant transaction,” said Geoffrey Porges,
an analyst at New York-based Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. “In
antivirals, Gilead has proven itself over and over again to be ahead of
the curve.”
At least half of Gilead’s $127 billion market value
is attributable to expectations for its hepatitis C drugs, according to
Porges. He said the company’s hepatitis C drugs could generate $16
billion in sales in 2016.
Sovaldi has attracted scrutiny over its high price. Pharmacy benefit managers such as Express Scripts Holding Co. (ESRX)
and Catamaran Corp. are discussing how to pit similar drugs against
each other by refusing to pay extra for a drug that is more convenient
to take than another, or by subjecting hepatitis C drugs to more outside
review, Bloomberg News reported in January.
‘Poster Child’
Sovaldi “is the poster child for everything that is wrong with drug prices,” Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in Los Angeles,
said in a phone interview. Sovaldi’s price will mean that some people
won’t get access to the treatment, he said. He has submitted a
shareholder resolution to tie executive compensation at Gilead to the
affordability of its medicines.
While formulary reviews proceed, patients who need Sovaldi can still get it, Miller said.
“Almost
without exception, prescriptions are being approved by commercial
plans,” she said. The company has started a program to provide financial
assistance to patients who need help paying for the drug, she said.
What do you do when the numbers of people inflicted with a condition or disease become so high that even the most socially numbed people start to raise questions? You redefine the disease of course!!!!
THIS is exactly what was done with Polio in the 1950's. When the numbers are overwhelming and the prescribed medical treatment doesn't work, the Medical Associations need to create the illusion of success so that they can continue on their merry way. So they changed the definition of symptoms of Polio, invented new diseases for the old polio to be called, and then the numbers on paper make it look like there were less cases of Polio, meanwhile there is a huge increase in this other disease over here.
So now the American Psychiatric
Association's (APA) is going to re diagnose "Autism" and if you watch very carefully, there will be some "new" psychiatric disorders that will suddenly pop up and as if by magic, these new disorders will sound an awful lot like Autism.....
If it walks like a duck, quakes like a duck, and swims like a duck, then I'm going to call it a duck, even if the local zoo keeper has decided that it's a goose.

CDC Caught Hiding Data Showing Mercury in Vaccines Linked to Autism
New Autism Definition Will Decrease Diagnosis By One-Third
The rates of autism have increased approximately 1000% since
the 1980s. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes the cluster of
neurodevelopmental disorders as defined by American Psychiatric
Association's (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Officially, there are now 1 in 88 children in the United States who
have ASD. Boys are almost five times more likely to be autistic than
girls -- with 1 in 54 boys now identified. To curb the rates at which
children will be identified with the illness in the future, new
guidelines issued by the APA will reduce by almost one third the
total number of those diagnosed, according to new research from
Columbia University School of Nursing published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
The guidelines, released in May 2013 and the first major
update to psychiatric diagnosis criteria in almost two decades, may
leave thousands of developmentally delayed children each year without
the ASD diagnosis they need to qualify for social services, medical
benefits and educational support.
A team led by Kristine M. Kulage, MA, MPH, director of
the Office of Scholarship and Research Development at Columbia
Nursing, conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to
determine the effect of changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the APA's classification tool for
psychiatric conditions, on diagnosis of individuals with ASD.
Due to the need for adequate returns on costly
advertising campaigns, the DSM has been strongly criticized for
medicalize "normal human experiences." Intermittent explosive disorder,
oppositional defiant disorder, mathematics disorder are arguably some
of the stranger diagnoses floating around in
the medical literature. And although
ridiculous to any sane person, many medical
professionals say that these disorders are
legitimate conditions that often warrant treatment on behalf of Big
Pharma's effort to control diagnoses.
New Guideline Decreases ASD by 31 Percent
The study found a statistically significant decrease in
ASD diagnosis of 31 percent using the new manual, DSM-5, compared
with the number of cases of ASD that would have been identified under
the previous version of the manual, DSM-IV-TR.
"This study raises a concern that a medical provider
diagnosing a child under the new guidelines won't find the child to be
on the autism spectrum, when the same child under the old criteria
might have been diagnosed with ASD," says Kulage.
The old manual, DSM-IV-TR, included three distinct
subgroups under the broad definition of ASD: autistic disorder (AD),
Asperger's disorder, and pervasive development disorder-not otherwise
specified (PDD-NOS). The revised manual, DSM-5, eliminates these
subgroups, instead establishing a more limited range of criteria for a
diagnosis of ASD that is designed to encompass individuals who
previously would have fallen into one of the subgroups. The DSM-5 also
added a new category called social communication disorder (SCD) to
diagnose individuals who have verbal and nonverbal communication
impairments but lack other attributes associated with autism. Some
individuals diagnosed with PDD-NOS under the old manual would be
identified as individuals with SCD under DSM-5, according to the APA.
Under DSM-5, there was a statistically significant
decrease in AD diagnosis of 22 percent, compared with the fourth
edition of the manual, the meta-analysis found. There was also a
statistically significant decrease of 70 percent in diagnosis of
PDD-NOS. While diagnosis of Asperger's also declined under DSM-5, the
reduction was not statistically significant. In addition, the study
found that some individuals who no longer met the criteria for an ASD
diagnosis under DSM-5 would also fail to meet the criteria for SCD.
"We are potentially going to lose diagnosis and
treatment for some of the most vulnerable kids who have developmental
delays," says Kulage. "In many instances, children require a diagnosis
of ASD to receive medical benefits, educational support and social
services."
I have been really focused for the last three days on Vaccine related information - especially yesterday while putting together the article on Polio Vaccines. And then this comes falling into my lap. HA!!! Awesome!
In yesterdays article I didn't not even really get into the huge amount of dangers associated with the polio vaccine and it's ingredients, BUT.... the truth about Mercury AND Aluminum in Vaccines is one that people need to hear. Big Pharma, the media, the medical associations and the governments have hidden these truths from the populations for decades. None of this information is "new" or unknown.
Dr.
Coleen Boyle of the CDC testifies under oath before Congress in
November 2012 that the body of evidence shows there is no connection
between mercury in vaccines and autism.
Health Impact News Editor Comments
In a press release issued this week, one
that so far no mainstream media sources have bothered to report, it was
announced that Dr. Brian Hooker had finally received documents from the
CDC through a Freedom of Information Act that revealed the CDC had
access to data linking Thimerosal in vaccines to autism, non-organic
sleep disorders, and speech disorders.
Two members of Congress helped Dr. Hooker
draft his letter to the CDC, after having spent nearly 10 years
submitting over 100 Freedom of Information Acts to no avail.
This information, so far, has been completely blacked out of the mainstream media.
This information is very damaging to the
CDC, which has stated for years that there are no studies linking the
mercury of Thimerosal in vaccines to autism. You can watch for yourself
in the video below the most recent testimony given by the CDC in the
November 2012 Congressional Hearing on Autism, where they claim there
are no studies linking Thimerosal to autism. Thimerosal is still used
today in the flu shot that is administered to pregnant women and
infants.
Watch more video highlights of this Congressional hearing on Autism here. Outside of C-SPAN, it was mostly ignored in the mainstream media back in November of 2012.
The mainstream media’s official position regarding vaccines and
autism has been that it has been “proven that there is no link”, and Dr.
Andrew Wakefield is used as the standard scapegoat being presented as a
“disgraced doctor” who supposedly got caught fabricating his study. Of
course, Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s study has been replicated in at least 28 other studies,
and no case has ever been won against Dr. Wakefield in a court of law.
Litigation is still pending, and one of the doctors who was a co-author
in the study has been completely exonerated in the U.K.
Yet, the man who supposedly conducted studies for the CDC proving
that vaccines do not cause autism, is a wanted criminal for stealing
millions of dollars from the CDC, and is still on the run from the law.
But that story is seldom, if ever, reported in the mainstream media.
(See: CDC Vaccine Link to Autism Scandal: The Wrong Man was Condemned)
To understand the autism-vaccine debate one must look outside of the
heavily Big Pharma funded mainstream media, such as this report by Emmy
Award winning journalist Ben Swann:
The Canary Party has also produced an excellent video, narrated by Rob Schnieder:
Vaccine Industry Watchdog Obtains CDC Documents That Show
Statistically Significant Risks of Autism Associated with Vaccine
Preservative Thimerosal
Biochemist Brian Hooker, scientific advisor to A Shot of Truth, reveals CDC knew of risks for over a decade.
by A Shot of Truth PRWeb
For nearly ten years, Brian Hooker has been requesting documents that
are kept under tight wraps by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). His more than 100 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests have resulted in copious evidence that the vaccine preservative
Thimerosal,
which is still used in the flu shot that is administered to pregnant
women and infants, can cause autism and other neurodevelopmental
disorders.
Dr. Hooker, a PhD scientist, worked with two members of Congress to
craft the letter to the CDC that recently resulted in his obtaining
long-awaited data from the CDC, the significance of which is historic.
According to Hooker, the data on over 400,000 infants born between 1991
and 1997, which was analyzed by CDC epidemiologist Thomas Verstraeten,
MD, “proves unequivocally that in 2000, CDC officials were informed
internally of the very high risk of autism, non-organic sleep disorder
and speech disorder associated with Thimerosal exposure.”
When the results of the Verstraeten study were first reported outside
the CDC in 2005, there was no evidence that anyone but Dr. Verstraeten
within the CDC had known of the very high 7.6-fold elevated relative
risk of autism from exposure to Thimerosal during infancy. But now,
clear evidence exists. A newly-acquired abstract
from 1999 titled, “Increased risk of developmental neurologic
impairment after high exposure to Thimerosal containing vaccine in first
month of life” required the approval of top CDC officials prior to its
presentation at the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) conference.
Thimerosal, which is 50% mercury by weight, was used in most childhood
vaccines and in the RhoGAM® shot for pregnant women prior to the early
2000s.
The CDC maintains there is “no relationship between
Thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism rates in children,” even
though the data from the CDC’s own Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)
database shows a very high risk. There are a number of public records to
back this up, including this Congressional Record from May 1, 2003.
The CDC’s refusal to acknowledge thimerosal’s risks is exemplified by a
leaked statement from Dr. Marie McCormick, chair of the
CDC/NIH-sponsored Immunization Safety Review at IOM. Regarding
vaccination, she said in 2001, “…we are not ever going to come down that
it [autism] is a true side effect….” Also of note, the former director
of the CDC, which purchases $4 billion worth of vaccines annually, is
now president of Merck’s vaccine division.
Dr. Hooker’s fervent hope for the future: “We must ensure that this
and other evidence of CDC malfeasance are presented to Congress and the
public as quickly as possible. Time is of the essence. Children’s
futures are at stake.” A divide within the autism community has led to
some activists demanding that compensation to those with vaccine-injury
claims be the top priority before Congress. Dr. Hooker maintains that
prevention, “protecting our most precious resource – children’s minds,”
must come first. “Our elected officials must be informed about
government corruption that keeps doctors and patients in the dark about
vaccine risks.”
Referring to an organization that has seen its share of controversy
this past year, Dr. Hooker remarked, “It is unfortunate that SafeMinds
issued a press release on my information, is accepting credit for my
work and has not supported a worldwide ban on Thimerosal.”
Brian Hooker, PhD, PE, has 15 years experience in the field of
bioengineering and is an associate professor at Simpson University where
he specializes in biology and chemistry. His over 50 science and
engineering papers have been published in internationally recognized,
peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Hooker has a son, aged 16, who developed
normally but then regressed into autism after receiving
Thimerosal-containing vaccines.
Dr. Brian Hooker’s investigative research is sponsored by the Focus Autism Foundation.

This headline on CNN this morning literally made my jaw drop so hard I thought I'd dislocated it.
Mysterious polio-like illness found in 5 California children
By Ralph Ellis, CNN
February 24, 2014 -- Updated 0945 GMT
The lies that have been hammered into the public about the Polio vaccine for almost 70 years have been pushed so thoroughly that they've created a world wide population of people who are incapable of even Considering the idea that the Polio Vaccine didn't save the world.
With the exception of the current mass drugging of North Americans with anti depressants and anti psychotics, there has never ever been a more successful campaign to brainwash the public with medical mythology than the Polio Vaccine.
Now, there are those of you reading these harsh words above who are about to close this article down and refused to read any further. To those who are still reading and seething inside about this crazy
"conspiracy theorist" who's spreading lies about the glorious Polio
Vaccine, I would ask your patience- Before you slam your lap top shut,
please take a moment to consider all of the information below.
We have been conditioned by our own conditioned parents, family, friends, society in general and through one of the most successful media campaigns in the history of the world, that to even Question the validity of the Polio Vaccine victory in "eradicating Polio from the face of the earth" is almost on the same level as treason. We have a medical society so steeped in misdirection and lies that most of their own doctors have bought the polio story hook, line and sinker. To be truthful, it isn't all their fault. When Pharmaceutical companies are allowed to "fund" medical schools and write medical journal articles based on their own products, you cannot possibly expect unbiased opinions. This would be like allowing a tobacco lobbyist to write research papers on lung cancer.
I am going to show you where Polio has disappeared to and I am going to start by giving you information about some very well known diseases. Please read them carefully.
Although polio can cause paralysis and death, the vast majority of
people who are infected with the poliovirus don't become sick and are
never aware they've been infected with polio.
Nonparalytic polio
Some people who develop symptoms from the poliovirus contract
nonparalytic polio — a type of polio that doesn't lead to paralysis
(abortive polio). This usually causes the same mild, flu-like signs and
symptoms typical of other viral illnesses.
Signs and symptoms, which generally last one to 10 days, include:
Fever
Sore throat
Headache
Vomiting
Fatigue
Back pain or stiffness
Neck pain or stiffness
Pain or stiffness in the arms or legs
Muscle spasms or tenderness
Meningitis
Paralytic polio
In rare cases, poliovirus infection leads to paralytic polio, the
most serious form of the disease. Paralytic polio has several types,
based on the part of your body that's affected — your spinal cord
(spinal polio), your brainstem (bulbar polio) or both (bulbospinal
polio).
Initial signs and symptoms of paralytic polio, such as fever and
headache, often mimic those of nonparalytic polio. Within a week,
however, signs and symptoms specific to paralytic polio appear,
including:
Loss of reflexes
Severe muscle aches or spasms
Loose and floppy limbs (flaccid paralysis), often worse on one side of the body
The onset of paralysis may be sudden.
Post-polio syndrome
Post-polio syndrome is a cluster of disabling signs and symptoms that
affect some people for decades — an average of 25 to 35 years — after
they had polio. Common signs and symptoms include:
Progressive muscle or joint weakness and pain
General fatigue and exhaustion after minimal activity
Muscle atrophy
Breathing or swallowing problems
Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea
Inflammation of the spinal cord can cause a neurological
disorder called transverse myelitis (TM). “Transverse�? describes where
the inflammation occurs—across the width of one segment of the spinal
cord—while “myelitis�? refers to the inflammation of the spinal cord
itself.
When the spinal cord becomes inflamed, myelin, and insulating
material that covers nerve cell fibers, is destroyed. This causes scars,
which disrupt communication between the nerves in the spinal cord and
the rest of the body.
Symptoms of TM
The main symptom of TM is loss of spinal cord function over a period
of several hours to several weeks. TM may begin with relatively minor
back pain, progress to muscle weakness and odd feelings in the toes and
feet, and can rapidly become more severe, eventually resulting in
paralysis.
Causes of TM
While no one is sure what causes TM, there are many hypotheses. Possible causes include:
Viral infections, often due to the viruses that cause Chicken Pox and Shingles
Viral infections due to herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, influenza, HIV, hepatits A, or rubella
Bacterial skin infections
Middle ear infections
Bacterial pneumonia
Abnormal immune reactions
Poor blood flow through the blood vessels in the spinal cord
A complication from syphilis, measles, Lyme disease, and some vaccinations
It's easy to mistake the early signs and symptoms of meningitis for
the flu (influenza). Meningitis signs and symptoms may develop over
several hours or over one or two days.
The signs and symptoms that may occur in anyone older than age of 2 include:
Sudden high fever
Severe headache that isn't easily confused with other types of headache
Stiff neck
Vomiting or nausea with headache
Confusion or difficulty concentrating
Seizures
Sleepiness or difficulty waking up
Sensitivity to light
Lack of interest in drinking and eating
Skin rash in some cases, such as in meningococcal meningitis
Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling and weakness
starting in your feet and legs and spreading to your upper body and
arms. These symptoms may begin — often not causing much notice — in your
fingers and toes. In some people, symptoms begin in the arms or even
the face. As the disorder progresses, muscle weakness can evolve into
paralysis.
Signs and symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome may include:
Prickling, "pins and needles" sensations in your fingers, toes or both
Weakness or tingling sensations in your legs that spread to your upper body
Unsteady walking or inability to walk
Difficulty with eye movement, facial movement, speaking, chewing or swallowing
Severe pain in your lower back
Difficulty with bladder control or intestinal functions
Every single one of these diseases listed above is Polio. As the charts (below) clearly show, the incidences of Polio had already radically dropped BEFORE the vaccine was introduced. Then, in an effort to support the spending of $45 million dollars on Polio vaccine research, The medical associations responsible for looking after the health of you and your children, re-defined the symptoms of Polio and created "new" diseases or changed the official symptoms of known diseases to account for the polio symptoms that were still showing up in a population that had already been vaccinated for polio.
"Polio has not been eradicated by vaccination, it is lurking behind a
redefinition and new diagnostic names like viral or aseptic meningitis.......According to
one of the 1997 issues of the MMWR, there are some 30,000 to 50,000 cases of viral
meningitis per year in the United States alone. That's where all those 30,000 -
50,000 cases of polio disappeared after the introduction of mass vaccination"---Viera Scheibner
POLIO DEFINITION FRAUD:
Statistics on polio were manipulated. One such way was to redefine the disease,
renaming it "viral or aseptic meningitis"
or "cocksackie virus". In one US county, for example, in July 1955 there were
273 cases of polio reported for 50 cases of asceptic meningitis, compared to 5 cases of
polio in 1966 and 256 cases of aseptic meningitis. These new diagnostic guideline's were
issued by the CDC. If you object to polio vaccination, and you get polio--it is usually
called "polio." If you have been vaccinated and you get "polio", it is
called meningitis(2).
"Dr. Thomas Francis did not mention in his key evaluation of
the 1954 Salk field trials that those who contracted polio after their first innoculation
and before their second inoculation were placed in the "not-inoculated" list.' (Maurice B. Bayly, The Story Of The Salk Anti-poliomyelitis
Vaccine, 1956).
..."Official data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any
significant improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide
protection"---Dr Sabin, developer of Polio vaccine.
Health officials convinced the Chinese to rename the bulk of their polio to Guillaine
Barre Syndrome (GBS). A study found that the new disorder (Chinese
Paralytic syndrome) and the GBS was really polio (41). After mass vaccination in 1971,
reports of polio went down but GBS increased about 10 fold.
"In the WHO polio vaccine eradication in the Americas, there were 930 cases of
paralytic disease—all called polio. Five years later, at the end of the campaign,
roughly 2000 cases of paralytic disease occurred—but only 6 of them were called polio
(41). The rate of paralytic disease doubled, but the disease definition changed so
drastically that hardly any of it was called polio any more."—Greg Beattie
"They started vaccinating in 1985 (in the Americas). Within 4 months they had 350
cases…They caused a substantial, huge outbreak of polio but they started
‘discarding’ most of the cases (put as flaccid paralysis)."—Viera
Scheibner (42).

Mysterious polio-like illness found in 5 California children
By Ralph Ellis, CNN

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Polio can cause sudden paralysis
Thanks to a vaccine, polio was wiped out in the U.S.
Researchers don't know what caused the symptoms
(CNN) -- A mysterious polio-like illness has been found in five children in California, researchers said.
The discovery is alarming
because polio, a contagious disease that sometimes caused paralysis,
was wiped out in the United States in 1950s after a vaccine was created.
All five children had polio vaccinations.
The new cases, the
researchers say, point to the possibility that an "infection polio-like"
syndrome could be emerging in California.
Dr. Keith Van Haren of
Stanford University and his co-author, Dr. Emanuelle Waubant with the
University of California-San Francisco, released a case report on their
findings Sunday. They will present the report at the American Academy of
Neurology meeting in April.
"Although polio virus has
been eradicated from most of the globe, other viruses can also injure
the spine, leading to a polio-like syndrome," he said in a statement.
Outbreaks of polio have occurred in Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan.
Van Haren and Waubant
said the five children showed polio-like symptoms: sudden paralysis in
one or more limbs that became most severe within two days of onset.
Three children had a
respiratory illness before the other symptoms began, they said. After
treatment, the symptoms didn't improve and the children still had poor
limb function after six months.
Two children tested
positive for enterovirus-68, a rare virus previously associated with
polio-like symptoms, they said. No cause was identified in the remaining
three children.
The world around us is standing up and saying "No More", in numbers that have never ever been seen before. While the Main Stream Media tries to hide what is going on world wide, the truth is getting out faster and faster as the "alternative" media has now become the leaders in bringing news to the people.
CHANGE comes from and through the people. If you think you can sit back and that someone "official" will look after you and your family, then you are vastly misguided.
No One Is Coming To Save You.
If you want CHANGE then you must be the CHANGE you wish to SEE. Does that mean you have to go out and protest? That you have to burn cars and throw rotten eggs and scream and yell? NO it doesn't. But it DOES mean that you need to take some responsibility for those changes that you want to happen. It DOES mean that you need to be involved- in whatever way resonates with you- to CREATE CHANGE.
Ask yourself this: If I am not willing to stand up for my family's health and welfare, then who will?
I'm not asking you to get involved in "fighting" everything, or even most things.... but the time is NOW to PICK SOMETHING and GET INVOLVED.
Even the Main Stream Media is starting to talk about the horrific health of the average population in North America and in Western Europe. The Alternative Media has been over flowing with facts and studies and information about the toxins in our food supply, our water, our air, and in our medications.
It was based on a skype post that a good friend of mine made. He's decided to up the ante.
It IS Time NOW to GET UP and DO Something to Create CHANGE.
AMERICA AND THE WORLD YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO STAND UP AND MAKE THE CALLS. WE HAVE REACHED A TURNING POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS TIME
TO PUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY ON NOTICE THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BUY THEIR
CHEMICALLY LACED POISION FOOD PRODUCTS THEY ARE SELLING US ANY LONGER.

When there is a sudden surge in "allergies" in a population, it's time to analyze the changes in that populations diet and environment and the contaminants that are effecting change in both.
We've seen a massive rise in peanut allergies in North America in the past 15 years. What caused it? Could it be the peanut oil being used in a multitude of vaccine adjuvants?
And the other "Allergy" that has seemingly overtaken the general population in the past 10 years is "Gluten intolerance" ....
Low and behold! A Study that directly ties the use of Monsanto's herbicide Round Up- a highly toxic product used just about everywhere in Canada and the US- to Gluten Intolerance and Celiac's Disease.
Isn't it time that people start standing up and saying "No More!" ?
Study: Monsanto’s Roundup causes “gluten intolerance” by Jon Rappoport February 21, 2014 www.nomorefakenews.com A recent study proposes that gluten
intolerance and celiac disease are on the rise as a result of
glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. The National Library of Medicine
states that celiac disease “damages the lining of the small intestine
and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for
staying healthy. The damage is due to a reaction to eating gluten, which
is found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats.” The study authors, Anthony Samsel and
Stephanie Seneff, have a different view. They point out that this rise
in celiac disease parallels the increase in the use of Roundup, and the
effects of glyphosate are those listed for celiac disease.
“Celiac disease, and, more generally,
gluten intolerance, is a growing problem worldwide, but especially in
North America and Europe, where an estimated 5% of the population now
suffers from it.
“Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression.
“It is a multifactorial disease
associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as
reproductive issues and increased risk to thyroid disease, kidney
failure, and cancer.
“Here, we propose that glyphosate, the
active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup®, is the most important
causal factor in this epidemic.
“Fish exposed to glyphosate develop
digestive problems that are reminiscent of celiac disease. Celiac
disease is associated with imbalances in gut bacteria that can be fully
explained by the known effects of glyphosate on gut bacteria.
“Characteristics of celiac disease
point to impairment in many cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved
with detoxifying environmental toxins, activating vitamin D3,
catabolizing vitamin A, and maintaining bile acid production and sulfate
supplies to the gut.
“Glyphosate is known to inhibit
cytochrome P450 enzymes. Deficiencies in iron, cobalt, molybdenum,
copper, and other rare metals associated with celiac disease can be
attributed to glyphosate’s strong ability to chelate these elements.
“Deficiencies in tryptophan, tyrosine,
methionine, and selenomethionine associated with celiac disease match
glyphosate’s known depletion of these amino acids.
“Celiac disease patients have an
increased risk to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which has also been implicated
in glyphosate exposure.
“Reproductive issues associated with
celiac disease, such as infertility, miscarriages, and birth defects,
can also be explained by glyphosate.
“Glyphosate residues in wheat and
other crops are likely increasing recently due to the growing practice
of crop desiccation [drying] just prior to the harvest. We argue that
the practice of “ripening” sugar cane with glyphosate may explain the
recent surge in kidney failure among agricultural workers in Central
America. We conclude with a plea to governments to reconsider policies
regarding the safety of glyphosate residues in foods.” This study could change the way gluten
intolerance and celiac disease are understood, and it adds to the
growing body of evidence against Monsanto’s Roundup and those GMO crops
which require Roundup as the herbicide of choice. Jon Rappoport
This is where "Participation" and Action are needed BY the people!
If you want to see these chemicals removed from the store shelves, then it's up to US to tell the stores we spend our money at that we want them removed! Same with the individual companies that are manufacturing/preparing these food products.
Change comes when people speak out and say "If you want my business and my money, then you need to change, or we will go elsewhere." The time for sitting around and moaning about how horrible it is that all these foods we eat are full of crap, is over. It's time to DO something about it.
I will give you a prime example of people DOing to create change:
This is a post from a very good friend of mine in his Alternative Health room on skype:
10 other companies that use the same Subway yoga mat chemical in their buns
Who will make the calls to stand up for your Health Freedom??? Its up to you I can't do this by myself. I have just called all of these companies and put them on notice, that we are no longer going to buy their poisoned food products, I let them know that the consumer is fed up and we will be launching a World wide campaign on Facebook, twitter, Myspace, google+, ect, They will either clean up their food or go out of business cause no one will buy it. I could tell they were very concerned. I'm not going to worry about stupid people, they will fix themselves. Who's going to stand up for our Health, our children's health if we don't, Also its time to put these damn School Cafeteria's on notice, speaking of cafeteria's The Golden Colon needs a wake up call too!!!
Lets call these companies and let them know how we feel and that we aren't going to buy their poision food anymore. (angry) I am mad as Hell and I ain't taking it anymore!!!
This post is from a man who spends close to 15 hours a day monitoring sites, informing people through the various 20 or more skype rooms that he runs and about 20 other skype rooms that he participates in. He has led campaigns against many many companies and been involved in demanding changes in the food, health, drug and even pet food industries. His campaigns have led to companies being forced to re-lable products AND removing products from shelves.
Basically it comes down to this: IF you want to SEE changes happen, then we need to stand up and MAKE them happen. Exercise your right to freedom of speech and freedom to take your money else where!
From artificial to natural, the food industry makes a major shift
Extracts from algae, rosemary and monk fruit could soon
replace synthetic ingredients and food additives such as Blue No. 1, BHT
and aspartame that label-conscious grocery shoppers are increasingly
shunning.
Research is enabling this shift from artificial colors, sweeteners
and preservatives to naturally derived ones, and could soon yield many
more natural options, reports Chemical & Engineering News, the
weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society.
Melody M. Bomgardner, senior editor at C&EN, notes that the trend
has built momentum as concern over negative health effects of
artificial ingredients and additives grows. Recent studies have
suggested a link between some artificial colorings and hyperactivity in
children.
Others have suggested that certain synthetic preservatives may cause
cancer in rodents. These results are sinking into the consumer psyche.
By 2013, almost a quarter of U.S. consumers reported that they read
food labels to check for artificial colors and flavors. That's 15
percent more than the year before. In Europe, regulations spurred a
faster changeover and have largely driven the dramatic shift in global
sales toward natural colors. In the $1.5 billion market, growth of the
latter has overtaken synthetics, which have plateaued.
Now many food manufacturers are turning to colors derived from foods,
such as turmeric; to new fermentation routes for natural yellows, reds
and purple dyes; and to rosemary and monk fruit as a preservative and
sweetener, respectively, the article states.
Natural green and blue food colorings are harder to come by, but
researchers are finding sources for these as well. Last summer, M&Ms
candy maker Mars got the OK from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
to color their blue treats with an extract from blue-green algae.
Scientists are also investigating new natural ways to preserve meat,
produce vanilla and sweeten foods without the calories.
