Cancer Cure the Feds are Trying to Hide From You!

There is little doubt that the “establishment”, meaning big pharmaceutical companies and the politicians have been trying for a very long time to hide the truth from you!

This video is one more example of a fight with a prominent doctor in Houston to suppress information about yet another cancer cure that is demonized by the forces that are preventing this information to be made public. You be the judge!

Why is the Government Stockpiling Survival Food?‏

The following article appeared in an email sent 06/09/11 from the following address:

http://www.offthegridnews.com

One has to question what is up? And how this agency is spending when everyone in the government is wrangling about reducing spending. Your comments are appreciated!

It really is a small world … especially in the preparedness and survival industries. With a community that prides itself on staying informed, you can’t really keep things secret for long. So it’s no surprise that we were among the first to get wind of some very unsettling news. In fact, it was so disturbing that we felt it was only right to share with you what we’ve learned.

One of the nation’s largest suppliers of dehydrated food has cut loose 99% of their dealers and distributors. And it’s not because of the poor economy. It’s because this particular industry leader can no longer supply their regular distribution channels. Why not? Because they’re using every bit of manufacturing capacity they have to fulfill massive new government contracts. Look, the government has always been a customer of the industry to some extent. But according to our sources, this latest development doesn’t represent simply a change of vendor on the government’s part. It’s a whole new magnitude of business.

And that’s not all.

Apparently, even though they’ve cut off their regular consumer markets, the industry leader I’ve just mentioned still can’t produce enough survival food to meet the government’s vast requirements. How do we know? Not long ago, FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) put out a Request for Proposal, or RFP, for even more dehydrated food. The RFP called for a 10-day supply of meals – for 14 million people. That’s 420 million meals. Typically, FEMA maintains a stockpile of about 6 million meals. Why the sudden need to increase the stockpile by 420 million more? (And that’s in addition to whatever our aforementioned industry leader is supplying.) It almost seems like they’re trying to stock a modern day “Noah’s Ark,” doesn’t it?

By the way, just days after the RFP went online, it suddenly went “poof” … vanished. Could it be that some high level official suddenly realized he was letting the cat out of the bag? That people aren’t stupid, and would recognize the implications of 420 million emergency meals? Has the government removed the RFP from the public process and approached potential suppliers privately instead? We may never know.

But here’s what we do know. This kind of spending by a minor government agency in this economy just doesn’t make sense … unless there are extraordinary circumstances behind it, circumstances we aren’t privy to. Because of all the wrangling in Washington, D.C., over the budget these days, all extras are curtailed. Agencies are spending far less on travel and training expenses, for instance. And they certainly don’t start stockpiling supplies.

In this economic climate, you would expect FEMA also to be minimizing expenses. But clearly, they’re not. If you do the math, the approximate tab for 420 million meals comes to about a billion dollars.

What is so urgent that FEMA is spending a billion dollars on survival food?
Could officials be worried about extensive power grid damage from solar flares? (A big one hit a few months ago and took out communications in China.) Are they worried about riots and demonstrations causing gridlock in communities? (Even Obama supporter James Carville is talking about “civil unrest” being “imminently possible.”) Are they worried about terrorist attacks? (Since the death of Osama bin Laden, intelligence agencies have been ramping up their vigilance even more.)

Both Sides Would ‘End Medicare As We Know It’

It’s a classic example of political rhetoric intended to cloud reality.  Explaining why the most recent Medicare trustee report shows the system going bankrupt in thirteen years (five years earlier than predicted last year), Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner explained the alarming update was the result of, “technical changes in the economic assumptions underlying the projections.”  That’s the delicate way for a politician to say, “We were counting on our economic policies actually working, but as you all know, they haven’t.”

 

 

And while that provides yet another indictment of Obamanomics for conservatives to present in the courtroom of public opinion, the most concerning part remains the fragility of a healthcare system that is being relied upon by millions of elderly Americans — and is being counted on by millions more who are nearing the Medicare eligibility age.  That is why now more than ever it is incumbent upon our leadership to have an honest debate about the future of the system.

No American should naively assume that there is one easy, pragmatic answer to solving the Medicare crisis.  Additionally, no American should naively assume that putting the issue off until one such answer emerges is a prudent approach.  The biggest danger to our seniors is not Paul Ryan and the Republicans who are proposing changes to save the system.  Nor is it Democrats who might do the same.

Right now, the gravest threat Medicare faces is the self-serving politician who champions complacency towards the issue with shameless demagoguery condemning any reform proposals as too big, too dramatic, too risky, and endangering the stability of the system.

The Coming Collapse of Farming

If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, then you know just how much food prices are skyrocketing. In fact, the money that got you four bags of groceries last year will get you only three bags this year. And now that gas prices are going up almost daily, food prices will shoot up even more.

But now there’s another, far more ominous reason to home garden. There’s a threat emerging that is so potentially catastrophic, it could literally mean the collapse of commercial agriculture.

The honeybees are disappearing. In the past few years, we’ve been hearing more and more about something called Colony Collapse Disorder – it’s a fancy way of saying that the honeybees are dying, and we don’t know why. But if the decline isn’t reversed, the honeybee could well go the way of the dinosaur.

Some commercial beekeepers are losing as much as 90% of their bee population each season. Bees are essential to the pollination of over 90 different commercial crops.

If that happens, our industrial farming system will completely collapse.

Commercial farming depends on healthy honeybees. Bees pollinate over 90 different commercial crops. Without bees, we would not be able to enjoy things like grilled summer squash, crisp cold cucumbers, or sweet, delicious melon. Many people take good food like this for granted … and now those foods are at grave risk.

Giant farm conglomerates rent bees from commercial beekeepers to pollinate their hives. The hives are trucked to one region, released from the hive to pollinate the crops, and are packed up again and taken to the next region. But since 2003, more and more often, farmers have been opening up their hives to find dead bees or, more often, bees that just don’t return to the hive. That means there are fewer bees to do more work … which stresses the bee population even more.

For a long time, despite numerous theories, nobody knew what the real cause was.

But now we know.

“Highly toxic” pesticide causing mass extermination of honeybees

Late last year, a brave whistleblower leaked a memo from secret files at the Environmental Protection Agency. That memo was a smoking gun. For years, the EPA has known the true cause of the honeybee extinctions. The culprit is a chemical pesticide, clothianidin. Here’s what the EPA’s own internal memo said:

“Clothianidin’s major risk concern is to non-target insects (that is, honey bees). Clothianidin is a neonicotinoid insecticide that is both persistent and systemic. Acute toxicity studies to honey bees show that clothianidin is highly toxic on both a contact and an oral basis. … Information from standard tests and field studies … suggest the potential for long-term risk to honey bees and other beneficial insects.”

This pesticide was approved by the EPA, despite warnings from some of its own best and brightest scientists. And today, it’s used just as much as ever.

If clothianidin were outlawed tomorrow, could the damage be reversed? We don’t know. But we do know this: if the honeybee population isn’t restored to healthy levels – and quickly – our nation, not to mention the world, could lose over 90 different crop varieties, because they could no longer be pollinated on a large scale.

Look, you already know all the great reasons to grow your own food:

You save hundreds of dollars a year on groceries
The food you grow yourself with heirloom seeds is more nutrient dense than anything you can buy at the store
Home-grown food is free of all the toxic pesticides and insecticides found on grocery store produce
You can freeze, can, or dehydrate your surplus to provide a year-round supply of food for your family.

But of all the reasons to plant a home garden, the risk to commercial agriculture is probably number one. And here’s the thing about a home garden:

Even if the bees completely disappear, you can still grow the same wide variety of crops you’ve always grown.

Here’s why. The areas hardest hit by the bee epidemic are those vast tracts of land devoted to industrial monoculture. And that makes perfect sense because that’s where the toxic pesticide clothianidin is mostly heavily used. The bees that buzz around home gardens don’t seem to be as affected … at least not yet.

But what if they were? What if your local neighborhood hive were hit by Colony Collapse Disorder? You’d still be okay, and here’s why. There’s a little known secret about pollination that most home gardeners don’t know.

Produce like this, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, and more, could disappear from grocery store shelves within the next few years.

You can actually hand pollinate anything a bee can pollinate!

Giant corporate farms with millions of acres can’t pollinate by hand, of course. It would take an impossible amount of manpower. But home gardens? They’re small and manageable and can easily be hand pollinated.

Imagine this. A few short years from now, you go to the store, and the colorful produce that once filled the shelves is no longer there. No beets … no cabbage … no cucumbers, onions, or carrots. No melons, no chard, no tomatoes, or peppers. No squash or eggplant. They’ve become a rare and valuable commodity. (Beans and peas would be in short supply, too, because although they’re self-pollinating, bees help them produce even more.)

But when it comes to vegetables, you’re the richest man in town. Thanks to non-commercial bees that thrive nearby, or help from the kids with manual pollination, you’ve grown a bumper crop of these vanishing vegetables in your backyard using the heirloom seeds from your Survival Seed Bank. Can you imagine how valuable the produce from your own back yard would be? (In fact, with the heirloom crops you’ll produce in your home garden, you’ll have yourself the makings of a nice little home business.)

That’s what makes the Survival Seed Bank such a wise investment. Click on the link for more information!

Doctors Refuse to Treat Overweight Women!

Some Ob-Gyns in South Florida Turn Away Overweight Women

Filed under Diet, Excercise, Fitness {43 comments}

In a nation with 93 million obese people, a few ob-gyn doctors in South Florida now refuse to see otherwise healthy women solely because they are overweight.

Fifteen obstetrics-gynecology practices out of 105 polled by the Sun Sentinel said they have set weight cut-offs for new patients starting at 200 pounds or based on measures of obesity — and turn down women who are heavier.

Some of the doctors said the main reason was their exam tables or other equipment can’t handle people over a certain weight. But at least six said they were trying to avoid obese patients because they have a higher risk of complications.

“People don’t realize the risk we’re taking by taking care of these patients,” said Dr. Albert Triana, whose two-physician practice in South Miami declines patients classified as obese. “There’s more risk of something going wrong and more risk of getting sued. Everything is more complicated with an obese patient in GYN surgeries and in [pregnancies].”

Could Your Local Grocery Store Shutdown?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your local grocery store shut down? What would you do? Would you be able to feed your family? We as Americans have become so dependent on purchasing our food that we very rarely give any attention to the fact that our stores are fallible. Though most of us have given some thought to our futures, we often leave one of our most basic necessities (EATING!) in the hands of others. Why are we still depending on grocery stores to supply our food when recent events have proven that they are simply not reliable?

Right now, America is facing the highest spike in food prices ever seen. Just this week I read an AOL News article that listed many popular products whose quantities are being reduced in packaging due to a rise in the price, or a lack in availability, of essential ingredients. Companies faced with the rise in the price of food are passing it right along to us, the consumer. We’re getting less but paying more.

And according to the UN, world food prices are also at a record high; after the announcement from the UN regarding the upward rise of prices in food, the USDA also came out with a report revising their outlook on the harvest of world crops. The article even went so far as to state, “The world is treading on dangerous ground. Market forces are in place for another global food crisis, and, as the wheels keep turning, it will become harder for these to be put in reverse.”
Fox News has also reported on massive food shortages in corn, rice, coffee, flour, wheat. These are basic staples to our diet! Look at the ingredients label on your packaged food and see how many of the ingredients above are included.

And let’s not even get started on the price of fresh produce. Have you looked, really looked, at the chain store prices lately? If you’ve ever grown squash or tomatoes, you know just how prolific a single plant can be. Spend a few bucks on purchasing some seeds, grow a plant or two, and you’ll be drowning in your own produce! So how is it that we’re being charged upwards of $2.00 a pound for either? Even if it wasn’t a commentary on our current food crisis situation, it is most certainly a waste of our hard earned money.

In addition oil is also constantly on the rise, making the cost of shipping, plastic production, etc. rise right along with it. Oil prices are going through the roof, and many economists are predicting $6 to $10 a gallon fuel within a year or two. This ALSO gets transferred to the consumer in the form of price hikes. With all of this in mind, it is easy to see how our grocery stores are extremely vulnerable. If there is ever a situation that shuts down our grocery stores (say, a massive worldwide failing of major crops, a truckers strike, or a halt in America’s oil intake–hmmmm, these all sound REALLY familiar…), are you prepared to feed your family? Right now, grocery stores only hold enough food supplies to last their area for three days. That’s right, just THREE DAYS! So don’t plan on making a mad dash to the grocery store if and when a crisis happens. Not only will you be waiting in a long line of scared and unprepared people, you’ll also find out very quickly that there simply isn’t enough of ANYTHING to go around.

These are just a few examples of the imminent threat of food shortage. Do a quick Internet search and you’ll find that there is plenty of information out there regarding the current food crisis. With all of these factors in mind, you must ready yourself now so that you can provide for your family in the case of a catastrophe.

The world crops might be failing, but that doesn’t mean that you and your family have to go hungry. Picture a lush acre of beautiful and delectable fruits and vegetables; picture bountiful harvests, harvests that not only feed you during the current season but also provide the seeds capable for reproducing more harvests in the years to come; picture a family well fed despite any sort of food crisis. In the face of food shortage, you can eat like a king: corn, beans, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, melons, tomatoes, cabbage, squash, radishes, eggplant…not only will you NOT go hungry, but you’ll also be able to enjoy diverse and delicious varieties of foods, some you might not have ever even tried before! You’ll be able to freeze or can your bounty and have winter stores. You’ll be prepared for what could possibly become a very dangerous, worldwide food crisis event.

All of this can be made possible with the Survival Seed Bank from Solutions from Science! This seed bank contains enough seeds to plant an entire acre with non-GMO, open pollinated, high quality, high germination seeds. These seeds do NOT contain the terminator gene – this means that you not only get the seeds with which to grow a bountiful crop that will feed your family, but you can also harvest seeds from that crop with full confidence in the fact that those seeds will reproduce next season! You are NOT guaranteed this with other seeds.

Is Sugar Toxic?

On May 26, 2009, Robert Lustig gave a lecture called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” which was posted on YouTube the following July. Since then, it has been viewed well over 800,000 times, gaining new viewers at a rate of about 50,000 per month, fairly remarkable numbers for a 90-minute discussion of the nuances of fructose biochemistry and human physiology.

Lustig is a specialist on pediatric hormone disorders and the leading expert in childhood obesity at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, which is one of the best medical schools in the country. He published his first paper on childhood obesity a dozen years ago, and he has been treating patients and doing research on the disorder ever since.

The viral success of his lecture, though, has little to do with Lustig’s impressive credentials and far more with the persuasive case he makes that sugar is a “toxin” or a “poison,” terms he uses together 13 times through the course of the lecture, in addition to the five references to sugar as merely “evil.” And by “sugar,” Lustig means not only the white granulated stuff that we put in coffee and sprinkle on cereal — technically known as sucrose — but also high-fructose corn syrup, which has already become without Lustig’s help what he calls “the most demonized additive known to man.”

Krugman: “Medical Patients Are Not Consumers”

Paul Krugman Insists ‘Medical Patients Are Not Consumers’
Filed under Health Care, Media {3 comments}
Whorush: 5 sites by this AdSense ID

James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal editorial page finds it amusing that “Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman” (the columnist for the New York Times) is outraged that House Republicans seek, in their words, to make government health care more responsive to “consumer choice”:

Here’s my question: How did it become normal, or for that matter even acceptable, to refer to medical patients as “consumers”? The relationship between patient and doctor used to be considered something special, almost sacred. Now politicians and supposed reformers talk about the act of receiving care as if it were no different from a commercial transaction, like buying a car–and their only complaint is that it isn’t commercial enough.

What has gone wrong with us?

This is just the latest liberal spasm assuming the word “consumer” is demeaning, when the word “citizen” is so uplifting. So perhaps the Democrats could get behind more “citizen choice” in health care options? Krugman doesn’t seem to see it from the other side — if the “consumer” is denied care by Medicare (or ObamaCare), do they get to complain like a “consumer,” or just grin and bear it like a “citizen”?
