Fluoridation (eew)

"Fluoridation (p.116)

Fluoride, a compound that protects against tooth decay, was added to many municipal was added to many municipal water systems beginning in 1945. At present, an estimated 2/3 of the American people live in communities with fluoridated water. While fluoridation has reduced cavities, rates of other orders have increased, including damage to the bones, thyroid gland, and immune function. As a result, several European countries, icluding Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Germany and Belgium have discontinued treating water with fluoride. France and Norway never started it. In the U.S. Kansas, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Hawaii have recently rejected proposals for fluoridization, and in 1998 voters in Santa Cruz refused to allocate money for fluoridation following a mandatory law passed by the California legislature.

Fluoride, a compound of calcium and fluoride that occurs naturally, is used in Oriental medicine as a tranquilizer. Prozac, the modern anti-depressant drug, utilizes fluoride as an active ingredient. In food, fluorine naturally occurs in rice, rye, parsley, cabbage, sea vegetables, and bancha twig tea."

Alleged Attacks By Fluoride:

• damages bones
• linked to a lower IQ
• produces Alzheimer like symptoms
• it's a byproduct of the A-bomb 

wow.

that's why it sucks.

about BGH in your food

we all know hormones in our foods (meats, chicken, dairy) really sucks. an excerpt from "let food be thy medicine" by Alex Jack tells us a little about the Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH).

"Bovine Growth Hormone (p.37)

BGH is a genetically engineered hormone fed to dairy cows to boost milk production. WHile the FDA approved its use in 1995, health and consumer groups have expressed concerns about its safety and demanded that it be labelled.

Monsanto, the manufacturer, has sued natural foods stores and companies that label its product BGH free, claiming that such labels unfairly parage a legal product. A compromise on the issue of labeling was reached for the first time in 1998 when organic food companies in Illinois and Ben & Kerry's ice cream settled a lawsuit against the state in which natural foods suppliers won the right to explain to consumers that they oppose recombinant BGH and would not use it on their products, though the FDA has found no significant difference between BGH-treated and untreated cos.

About 25% of the milk sold in the U.S. is made from cows treated with BGH."

It goes on to say that in regards to being related to cancer..."In a review of the evidence linking dairy and breast cancer, researchers with the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine contend that the FDA's approval of BHG, genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, was based on faulty assumptions and studies. WHile the FDA concluded that it did not differ chemically from natural BGH, studies indicate that BGH differs by 1 to 9 amino acids. The FDA also assumed that BGH is not orally active in humans and that its activity is destroyed during pasteurization, both of which have been contradicted by subsequent studies."

about blood

next excerpt taken from this book!

Blood

According to traditional Far Eastern medicine, blood is created largely in the small intestine from the transmutation of metabolized food through the villi. A diet centered on grains and vegetables creates strong, healthy blood with a slightly more alkaline pH value, while the modern diet, combining extremes of meat and sugar creates weak, acid blood, requiring buffer mechanisms, especially depletion of minerals in the body to make balance.

Was HIV Genetically Engineered?

Investigating the possibility that AIDS< Ebola, and other new diseases are the result of biological weapons experiments, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, a dentist and medical researcher who has served on the faculties of Harvard and Tufts universities, researched the US biological warfare program at Fort Detrick, Maryland, which received a $10 million authorization in the early 1970s to develop a genetically altered retrovirus that would destroy the human system as part of the "Special Virus Cancer Program".

He quotes Dr. MacArthur, deputy director of the U.S. Department of Defense, who stated in classified Congressional testimony in 1970: "Within the next 5 to 10 years, t would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease."

The secret biological warfare program was overseen by Dr. Henry Kissinger, National Security Advise and later Secretary of State in the Nixon and Ford administrations carried out by the National Cancer Institute, Merck, Sharp and Dohme, the world's largest pharmaceutical company, and Litton Bionetics, the nation's largest bioweapons contactor; and involved Dr. Robert Gallo, the cancer virus researcher who went on to become the co-discoverer of HIV over a decade later.

Clandestine reseach, Horowitz theorizes, date back even further. In 1967, a lethal virus broke out in Germany and Yugoslavia among vaccine researchers. The epidemic, known as Marburg disease, was attributed to infected monkeys that had been brought to Europe from Africa. Horowitz traces the monkeys that had been brought to EUrope from Africa. Horowitz traces the monkeys to a Litton medical research laboratory in Africa.........

Horowitz speculates that fear of communism, black nationalism, and overpopulation (especially in neighboring Angola...) fueled these medical experiments. (Ebola also broke out in South Africa whose apartheid-era government was committed to overthrowing Angola.) Through the late 1970s, USAID vaccination teams immunized more than 20 million people in Central Africa. In 1978-79, several years before AIDS appeared in America, Horowitz claims that the New York City Blood Center introduced experimental hepatitis B vaccine in the gay male community which may have contained HIV or a monkey virus that mutated into HIV.

Dr. W. John Martin, director of the Center for Complex Infectious Diseases in Rosemead, Calif., and former director of the Viral Oncology Branch of the FDA's Bureau of Biologics, the governments principal agency in charge of vaccines, also suspects a contaminated vaccine of human origin gave rise to AIDS. "The mixing of vaccine viruses with others found in the cells and tissues used to develop the vaccine can potentially lead to the development of new recombinant mutants that are more adaptive and have wider host range than either of the original viruses," he explains.
