Something New on AOL and AIM

Whether you are on AOL or on AIM (AOL's Instant Messenger) there is a new person to put into your buddy list: SmarterChild. Don't ask questions! Just do it. Say hi to him/her/it. It's not a person, but a cute program that will bring you news, horoscopes, weather, etc. And you can just ask it questions and have fun.

Conventional Medicine
Cures Cancers

Though the numbers published keep changing, it seems that nearly 90% of patients
with early-stage CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) responded quite well. Gleevec is the name of this medical breakthrough and compared to most chemotherapy, this stuff is quite harmless with abdominal discomfort, bone and joint pains, and fatigue being the only side effects reported thus far.

Gleevec specifically targets a protein responsible for CML and since there are three molecular mechanisms it targets and some of these targets are found in breast, prostate, lung, abdominal cancers, and leukemias, we can expect news on the effectiveness of Gleevec against these other cancers to hit the airways soon.

Gleevec is not only curing cancer, it's curing the doldrums on Wall Street as the stock just keeps climbing. It is a little pill taken daily and in one month your medical bill will be right around 3,000 dollars. And though no one can tell you the long-term effects of the drug, they will tell you that you will be on it the rest of your life.

Thalidomide is back in the news because it seems to help blood cancers and has few side effects. Another class of cancer drug in the news are the new smart bombs. These either target only the cancer, releasing their toxins only at the cancer site or they stimulate the immune system to target the cancer cells only. Again, these methods are not new to the alternative medicine community. The alternative community has been using this last method for years.

Take Poly-MVA, its effect is on every cell, but only cancer cells are injured by it.

Again, expect some new therapies to be hitting the airways as the race is finally on to produce a cure, especially since the cures are out there (have been there for centuries) and people are beginning to hear about them.

The Big Lie
"Here in the US we have the best medicine in the world."

We know we don't have the best Health Care System, because we don't have a Health Care System; we have a Disease Care System. But how about our science? How is our science rated? How successful are we?

In America we have some of the best diagnostics in the world. Additionally, our Trauma Medicine stands head and shoulders above almost every country on the planet except perhaps Israel, but then again, their doctors are our doctors. (During periods of war, many Jewish physicians leave their practices here in the US to donate time in Israel.)

But the truth is: No, we do not have the best medicine on the planet and here are the facts.

Fifteen years ago, we were rated 17th in longevity (adjusted statistics from the World Health Organization). Since that time we've incorporated ridiculous dietary standards: high carbs, low fats (low animal fats) and we created a new disease (an epidemic) called High Cholesterol. If you take all the money in the world spent on health care/medicine, we here in the US have spent half of it. Did we get our money's worth? Nope. Today we stand 24th in the rankings. Japan is number one.

In Japan their most powerful chemotherapies come from mushrooms and are nontoxic. They use our pharmaceutical chemotherapies only when all else has failed, as a last resort. They do not buy into the cholesterol myth. They treat disease with nutrition first, medicine second. They practice preventative medicine.

Agaricus Blazei Murill
The most powerful chemotherapy in Japan today.

Found in Brazil, this mushroom is producing spectacular results, results heretofore never obtained by any other substance or chemotherapy. If you try to buy it in quantities online, you'll find yourself purchasing it from the Orient, the largest purchasers of this medical miracle.

In Brazil there is a health practitioner who raises these mushrooms and has sent out an open invitation to physicians throughout the world to come down and witness people being cured of deadly cancers using only this mushroom. He will put them up and feed them, all they have to do is get there. So far, only the Orient has responded to his invitation.

For more on this mushroom and some of the studies involved, go here: Agaricus.

How Much Power

In an article in the Washington Post former NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine) editors Drs. Marcia Angell and Arnold Relman stated that:

Drug companies spend "two or three times" as much on marketing and administration as they do on research and development. Profits are twice their research and development costs. (GlaxoSmithKline last year made a 28% profit and spent 37% of its revenue on marketing and administration and 14% on research and development.)

Drug companies have low tax rates because they are permitted to deduct their marketing and research and development costs.

Drug companies have the largest lobby in Washington, DC, and "contribute copiously to political campaigns."

Drug companies also "spend lavishly" to influence doctors, funding and influencing "much of the continuing medical education" doctors receive. Last year the industry spent more than $8 billion to "woo doctors".

Many drug trials are managed by investor-owned businesses "beholden to drug companies" who "often insist" on how research is performed and reported or if it is reported at all.

Update on Willard Water
and Crystal Energy

We got this letter from one of our readers (and permission to reprint it!) and I must pass it on to you. Dehydration is the main cause of aging. As we age, our cells just don't get the water they need because our cells get a bit tougher and water's molecules are stuck together: thus our cells don't get the water they need. Using Willard Water, Crystal Energy, or both can give you back 4 or 5 years in just one month. That's the truth and the FDA can .... jump.

David,

I am writing to tell you of my surprising and successful experiences with the use of Willard Water and Crystal Energy, products mentioned in articles in the MN Wellness Directory, and recommended by yourself.

I have always been very heat sensitive, i.e. getting sick as a child when the weather was very hot. Anything over 80 degrees is too hot for me. In addition, for quite a few years now I have been on medications that make me even more sensitive to the heat. I would drink a lot of liquids, but it made little difference in relieving the dehydration. My hands and feet would swell up so bad I thought they were going to rip open.

Since reading your articles, I have decided not to drink caffeinated beverages when it's hot. But that's about it...until I went to visit a friend of mine who uses your combination of both Willard Water and Crystal Energy. I tried them, thinking basically he was nuts, and I was very skeptical. We then went out and played tennis in temperatures up into the 90s. I obviously felt worn, since I'm a tennis beginner, but I didn't feel the usual heat sickness and dehydration I usually suffer from.

But I still didn't truly believe in the products until I got home, was not using either Willard Water or Crystal Energy, and was out mowing the lawn in 80+ degree heat. I got totally exhausted and ill even though I was drinking lots of water. My belly was full of water, but I was dehydrated.

I was about to go to a country music jam for 4 days where the temperatures would be in the 90s, and decided I should try the Willard Water, as I had suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration there the year before. (I couldn't get the Crystal Energy delivered to me before I left.) It was very hot at the jam and I drank a ton of water with Willard Water in it. I couldn't believe what a difference it made in the way I felt. I had more energy than usual, my feet and hands didn't swell up, wasn't dehydrated and I didn't feel quite so drained as I had before. My sister watched me use this stuff, and thought I had basically gone crazy, thinking nothing would help during those hot temperatures. But, she saw the difference it made in me and was very surprised.

I have since been using both the Willard Water and the Crystal Energy and it has made a tremendous difference in my ability to handle hotter temperatures. I still have to watch my time in the sun, but I am able to do activities in this heat wave we are in right now and have more energy to actually get things done, and stay hydrated.

I just wanted to let you know of my successes with these two products, and thank you for the informative articles on them. To everyone out there suffering in the heat, try these products, you will feel a huge difference.

Sincerely,

Janet G.

That's it. These things work. I personally do not drink plain filtered water without either Willard Water or Crystal Energy or both. I carry a little bottle of Willard Water and Crystal Energy everywhere I go and add it to the water I buy. The simple fact is: people live healthier and longer lives when hydrated.

Why People Choose Chemotherapy

Fear is a powerful motivator.

There are nontoxic alternatives.

Then why do we choose chemotherapy? Most Americans, if given the choice between a nontoxic alternative and chemotherapy will choose chemotherapy. Why is this?

It has to do with "authority."

Let me tell you about Stanley Milgram. Milgram was a psychologist at Yale University. He conducted one of the most famous psychology experiments ever. Every college student learns of Milgram in their first psychology class. This experiment is so famous that even a television movie was made about it with William Shatner (Captain Kirk) playing the part of the famous Stanley Milgram.

Instead of me telling you the experiment, I'm going to get lazy and "steal" the explanation from this web site: [http://www.cba.uri.edu/Faculty/dellabitta/mr415s98/EthicEtcLinks/Milgram.htm] 3/10/02 -- We are so happy we "lifted" this information from this site as this link no longer works.  

Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted a study focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. He examined justifications for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War II, Nuremberg War Criminal trials. Their defense often was based on "obedience" - - that they were just following orders of their superiors.

In the experiment, so-called "teachers" (who were actually the unknowing subjects of the experiment) were recruited by Milgram. They were asked administer an electric shock of increasing intensity to a "learner" for each mistake he made during the experiment. The fictitious story given to these "teachers" was that the experiment was exploring effects of punishment (for incorrect responses) on learning behavior. The "teacher" was not aware that the "learner" in the study was actually an actor - - merely indicating discomfort as the "teacher" increased the electric shocks.

When the "teacher" asked whether increased shocks should be given he/she was verbally encouraged to continue. Sixty percent of the "teachers" obeyed orders to punish the learner to the very end of the 450-volt scale! No subject stopped before reaching 300 volts!

At times, the worried "teachers" questioned the experimenter, asking who was responsible for any harmful effects resulting from shocking the learner at such a high level. Upon receiving the answer that the experimenter assumed full responsibility, teachers seemed to accept the response and continue shocking, even though some were obviously extremely uncomfortable in doing so. The study raised many questions about how the subjects could bring themselves to administer such heavy shocks.

We choose chemotherapy because doctors are authorities. It doesn't matter that your doctor (probably) knows less about how the human body heals than your average cab driver. Your doctor is an authority on "medicine" and upwards of 70% of us will choose to put this toxic poison in our bodies, simply because of the authority she or he stands for.

For a wonderful little video on this experiment you should go here:
http://www.wernersplace.com/obedience.htm

Perhaps I should mention that luckily, the children being born today are of a different "cut" than most of us. They do not respect absolute authority. Some feel we're raising a generation of brats, criminals, rapscallions! While others call them the Indigo Children. Check it out when you have time.

The Petition Site

Here is where you can have your voice heard. Petitions that are sent through the email ARE WORTHLESS! Only petitions that are online at a specific site that collect the proper information are valid and meaningful.

Here is The Petition Site: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/

Two petitions of interest:

Prevent the Environmental Causes of Breast Cancer NOW! This one was started yesterday. The American Cancer Society has never broached the subject of environmental causes of Breast Cancer because their biggest supporters are creating the toxins that promote breast cancers.

Don't Clear-Cut Our National Forests! We all know our newly elected president is interested in the environment, especially since even in the short time he's been in office he's tried to rescue a few endangered species, like the Double Breasted Oil Executive and the Thin Lipped Nuclear Power Plant Investor. But if you want to make sure that the work of our preceding presidents is not overturned by this fine young man, here's one to append your name to.

And one more little petition that needs to be addressed: NorthWest Airlines wants to quit carrying baby chicks. If they are allowed to do this, most of the chicken breeders in this country will fold and many exotic chickens will be put on the endangered species list. Little crazy chicken farmers like me will be stuck with standard chickens laying standard white eggs. And little girls like this will be hard to find: SnowBall. So, if you'd like to help out, here is another petition: http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/takeaction.asp?emailaddress=slmiller%40tvsonline%2Enet

Thanx!

The second largest industry in the world? Cancer Research. Take cancer research and mix it in with the pharmaceutical and health care industries and you've got yourself an industry larger than the even the oil industry.

Everyone gets rich when you get sick.

Now, if you really want to find a cure for cancer, cut the funding to cancer research. Yup, cut the funding. There is no incentive to find a cure. If someone finds a cure, they've just given themselves a pink slip and a trip to the unemployment line. If we want to find a cure for cancer, we have to offer an incentive to finding a cure. So, let's cut all funding and offer a reward. Then sit back and watch all the breakthroughs come flying in.


Blessings to all,
David
