The Wrath of Con

I have often said to my patients that the whole campaign about cholesterol is the biggest scam in medicine. This gigantic scam was set up by the man pictured to the left - Donald Rumsfeld. You remember him, right? He also brought you aspartame, the artificial sweetener. Under his influence it seems every doctor and every health plan has a quota of statin drugs that they must sell to every person they can. In some HMO's the doctor -now called a 'provider'- receives a demerit if he or she fails to prescribe a statin drug to all of their patients whose cholesterol is said to be too high. What is too high? When I was in medical school too high was over 230. Over the years since then, the number has been dropped lower and lower until now 'too high' is above 200. There is talk of lowering it to 190! Why the consistent attempt to lower what 'too high' means? Every 10 point drop is equal to $1 billion in new drug sales per year, that's why! For the most part, for most people cholesterol is not a real problem. I did have a patient one time whose blood was a milky white color when we drew it - he had a cholesterol problem! You probably don't. You have a problem with a health care provider who is under the thumb of Big Pharma. He's not working for you, he's working for them - the HMO and Big Pharma. You better escape while you still can. Read the article below and see what the consequences are for those who take the dangerous and unnecessary statin drugs.

British Medical Journal Exposes Statin Scam(NaturalNews)

To hear Big Pharma tell it, statin drugs are "miracle" medicines that have prevented millions of heart attacks and strokes. But a recent study published in the British Medical Journal tells a completely different story: For every heart attack prevented by the drug, two or more people suffered liver damage, kidney failure, cataracts or extreme muscle weakness as a result of taking the drug.

Statin drugs, in other words, harm far more people than they help.

Julia Hippisley-Cox and Carol Coupland led the study which examined data from over two million patients, including over 225,000 patients who were new statin drug users.

They found that for every 10,000 women being treated with statins, there were only 271 fewer cases of heart disease.

And yet, at the same time, the statin drugs caused 74 cases of liver damage, 23 cases of acute kidney failure, 39 cases of extreme muscle weakness and 307 cases of cataracts.

Statin drugs, in other words, helped 271 people but harmed 443 people. This demonstrates how they are wreaking havoc with the health of those who take them, causing damage that far outweighs any benefit they might offer.

Big Pharma's highly deceptive advertising implies that statin drugs help everyone who takes them. So if 10,000 people took the drugs, we're promised, heart attacks would be prevented in all 10,000 people. That's the implied message in the drug ads, anyway.

But this is just a wild exaggeration and distortion of the facts. Most drugs don't work on most people, and statin drugs only "work" on about 2.7% of those who take them. Yet they cause serious damage in about 4.4% of those who take them.

So if you take statin drugs, your odds of benefiting from them is less than 3 out of 100. But your odds of being harmed by them are more than 4 out of 100. For 96 out of 100 people, statin drugs do nothing except make the drug companies rich and pollute the waterways every time you flush the toilet.

Statin drugs, then, are basically a crap shoot with your health.


Keep the pharma profits rolling
From the point of view of Big Pharma, they have the added benefit of causing other diseases that often result in yet more drugs or medical procedures being prescribed. Kidney dialysis makes big money for hospitals, by the way. It's a multi-billion-dollar business all by itself. Statin drugs are therefore a way for the sick-care industry to recruit new patients into kidney dialysis, knowing that some percentage of statin drug users are going to end up with full-blown kidney failure.

What's really interesting about all this is how easy it is to fool doctors into prescribing statin drugs. Doctors mistakenly think these are miracle drugs, but they're never read the research. They've been convinced by drug reps, misleading medical journal articles and Big Pharma advertising -- and they bought it!

Mainstream doctors, you see, are perhaps the most gullible people on the planet. They'll gladly prescribe a drug that harms more people than it helps -- by the millions -- because they can be almost effortlessly swayed into pushing poison pills through "science babble" language used by drug companies to promote their pills.

Doctors are literally walking around today thinking statin drugs are such miracle lifesavers that some doctors openly talked about dripping the drug into the public water supply! That's how convinced they are about the drug's benefits. They think everyone should be taking statins whether they need them or not!

It's downright loony. But that's characteristic of western medicine, isn't it? Proclaim your poison to be "miracle medicine" while utterly ignoring the truth that those drugs harm far more people than they help (and they simply don't work on more than 90% of people who take them).


The statin scam
Statin drugs are a scam, plain and simple, and the doctors who prescribe them are puppets used by Big Pharma to sell high-profit drugs to people who for the most part won't even benefit from them. That this research exposing the truth about statin drugs even appeared in the British Medical Journal is a minor miracle all by itself, by the way. But it does indicate that the wall of lies constructed about statins by Big Pharma is starting to crack.

If the truth about statins were openly known, the drugs wouldn't be prescribed to anyone, and drug companies would be sued for billions of dollars for their false advertising and marketing manipulations.

Until that happens, just remember this: Any doctor who recommends a statin drug is a con man drug pusher. If they don't have the honesty to research the truth about these drugs and stop prescribing them, they certainly cannot be trusted with your health. If they're pushing statin drugs on you, they're really just working for Big Pharma, not for you, and they're not interested in real science and the real impacts of drugs on patients.

It brings up another hugely important question in modern medicine: Why don't doctors have the capability to question the false beliefs of their own industry? As you might have guessed, that's the topic of another story altogether.

How Wall Street Finances Genocide

I first met Dr Leonard Horowitz at the dinner table of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan some years ago. He had just completed his AIDS research published in the blockbuster book, Emerging Viruses, which fully uncovered the secret development of HIV and other viruses as weapons of genocide. The bio-weapons are a means to an end, well documented in NSSM-200, an official government white-paper report authored by Henry Kissinger which explicitly states that depopulation, ie, genocide, is the official policy of the US government.

But if you never thought about it before, murdering 5 or 6 billion people is an expensive proposition, so wouldn't you know it, the Wall Street crowd has moved in to see to it that all the conspirators get paid for their efforts.

The collusion between Big Pharma and Wall Street is the focus of new research by Dr Horowitz.

Profitable Depopulation Plot Links JP Morgan-Chase
And Goldman Sachs To Vaccination Contaminations
And BigPharma Corruption
By Dr. Leonard Horowitz
4-29-10

A medical investigation into suspicious outbreaks and propaganda used to sell drugs and vaccines has exposed investment bankers at JP Morgan-Chase (JPMC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) for plotting to shock/stress, frighten, poison, and kill billions of people most profitably--pharmaceutically--according to the Editor-in-Chief of Medical Veritas journal. While researching a powerful Partnership for New York City (PFNYC), uniting Wall Street's wealthiest industrialists, Harvard-trained public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, and investigative journalist, Sherri Kane, discovered shocking evidence of a conspiracy to commit global genocide by generating diseases and death to advance profitable pharmaceutical depopulation. Population planners at the highest levels of government and industry conspired to spread diseases, vaccines, drugs, and death most profitably, according to research published in the latest issue of Medical Veritas. In a related Special Report posted on YouTube, Dr. Horowitz urged humanitarian organizations and activist groups worldwide to issue investigations, alerts, civil complaints, and criminal charges to stop the pharmaceutical depopulation plot because it risks genetic inheritance, new pandemics, and the possible extinction of the human race. "Corruption in the drug industry is rampant and transparent," Dr. Horowitz explains. "Investment bankers at JPMC and GS, who acquired controlling interests in the largest drug firms during mergers and acquisitions, have placed 'depopulation' near the top of their list of geopolitical priorites. Their depopulation agents are now in top positions of government, finance, and industry. The depopulation plan is supported by the world's wealthiest people, including Bill Gates, who admittedly funds vaccinations to reduce global populations by 10-15%. Leading population planners and economic developers advance identical plans to cull the world's population to 1 billion. "Killing 6-out-of-7 people globally, most profitably, requires planning and an unprecedented conspiracy to commit genocide by applying advances in genetic biotechnologies exclusively available and affordable to drug companies controlled by the investment bankers," Dr. Horowitz adds. The doctor points to the fact that US Treasury Department officials previously operated JPMC and GS on behalf of majority stock holders and their partners in pharmaceutical companies heavily represented in the PFNYC and the trade organizations that negotiate multi-billion dollar government purchases of drugs and vaccines. Researchers, including vaccination contamination expert Dr. Viera Scheibner, reports in the current issue of Medical Veritas that polio virus vaccines are produced in African green monkey kidney cell cultures routinely contaminated with transmissible cancer viruses. By reviewing drug company patents, Dr. Horowitz learned that the makers of H1N1 swine flu and rotavirus vaccines use the same cultures risking recombinations, genetic mutations, and unstoppable transmissions of deadly agents threatening new pandemics. "This best explains why public health officials are preparing for vaccine-transmitted H1N1s cloned in monkey cells to recombine with bird H5N1s currently circulating. This threatening and most deadly recombination of flu viruses, officials herald may happen in the Fall," Dr. Horowitz warned. Besides the inadequacies of safety testing new vaccines without using placebo controls, it is this issue of reliability of information that concerns more than half of the medical physicians polled since they became aware that the entire medical industry has been hijacked by Wall Street's pharmaceutical profiteers. Now they are learning from famous people, like Gates, that the world's wealthiest people are administering vaccinations for depopulation. "I love vaccines," Gates stated at a TED conference in February, 2010, while lecturing on ways to reduce global populations to stem environmental pollution. The links between the directors of major drug companies, mainstream media moguls, and investment bankers at JPMC and GS are so obvious and incriminating, and the dispersion of unsafe vaccines so common and disturbing, only profitable depopulation as a planned outcome of pharmaceutical investments can explain the current situation. "Complete censorship was the only option officials have had to prevent a meltdown in public opinion about medicine and the pharmaceutical industry," said Ingri Cassel, a leading vaccine risk awareness activist. "This explains why news of this vaccination depopulation plan has been neglected by the special-interest-influenced media." Investigating conflicting pharmaceutical interests influencing news coverage, Sherri Kane, previously a writer for FOX News in Los Angeles, learned that the majority shareholders in FOX, TimeWarner, News Corp., and the Wall Street Journal, are heavily invested in GlaxoSmithKlein and Merck's CSL Laboratories, both makers of risky drugs and vaccines. Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, became a major shareholder in AstraZeneca following his direction of the company's acquisition of the H1N1 FluMist maker, MedImmune. Blankfein has also leveraged ABC-Disney following their merger with money he raised through GS investors. This resulted in Dr. Oz's heavy promotion of H1N1 vaccines on ABC last year, when officials learned that the vast majority of Americans were unwilling to risk the exposure. Rupert Murdoch and Lloyd Blankfein co-chair the PFNYC, founded by CHASE principal, World Bank ambassador, and America's leading energy industrialist and medical monopolist, David Rockefeller. The PFNYC was chartered by the Royal Family of England--a majority share holder in General Electric--the world's largest company--that controls NBC/Universal/Comcast, and MSNBC with Bill Gates. The PFNYC was pledged to play a central role in reconstructing Ground Zero following the 9/11 attacks, according to Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership and current Director of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The organization compiled the economic report on the damage done, advanced financial plans for reconstructing the World Trade Center, and advised leading financiers regarding reconstruction investments. According to 911-Truth movement directors, Wylde and other members of the PFNYC are implicated in the treasonous attacks that scientific evidence says involved thermitic explosives used in controlled demolitions. These allegations and PFNYC connections to 9/11 events implicating investment bankers at Goldman Sachs are additionally scrutinized in a new feature-length film produced by Dr. Horowitz. PHARMAWHORES: The SHOWTIME Sting of Penn & Teller premieres in theaters across North America this summer. (Quicktime and MP-4 downloadable versions are available through PharmaWhores.com.) The PFNYC is co-directed by Jeffrey B. Kindler, the Chairman and CEO of Pfizer--the world's largest drug company. Kindler stewards Pfizer through multi-billion dollar acquisitions also involving JPMC and GS financing. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the drug industry's main trade organization, is also directed by Kindler. PhRMA officials engage White House and Pentagon officials in private negotiations determining pricing for stockpiles of drugs and vaccines. Dr. Horowitz views this covert administration of multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical contracts as symptomatic of the industry's corruption. The "corporate shell game" is played using mergers and acquisitions directed by the same people. Their creation of the PhRMA trade organization provides the illusion of their legitimacy and fair competition. Price fixing occurs behind closed doors, explaining why prices vary so widely internationally. Another gross example of corrupt government pharmawhores sucking Wall Street's slime, is Congressman Henry Waxman's (D-CA) treason against the American people for sneaking dietary supplement regulation language into 'The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009,' (H.R. 4173). For years, Waxman has attempted to pass legislation restricting consumer access to nutritional supplements on behalf of BigPharma. The FDA, largely controlled by BigPharma, contends regulating vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathics, oils, colloidal silvers, and more natural products protects consumers. During health care reform negotiations with PhRMA, Waxman feigned concern that drug companies were driving too hard a "bargain" on pharmaceutical prices, but still voted in favor of the cartel's freedom to set their own limits. Most telling and ironic, PhRMA's official negotiator to whom Waxman complained, "PhRMA should contribute more than PhRMA wants to contribute," was Billy Tauzin, the former congressman who held Waxman's job as chair of the Energy and Commerce committee. -end-

Water

As salaam alaikum
Dear Brother John
Thank you very much for your question concerning the water we should drink. While water is essential to life and we must have it, yet there is a tremendous amount of confusion, fear and anxiety on the subject. That is because of the corruption of the world in which we live that seeks to take advantage of a natural human need. They are the generators of the fear and confusion in order to push up sales. They, the corrupt ones, want to put a price on water so that they can wax rich from this natural human need and right. Good clean water is a human right and it should be available to all with no price attached.
God sends water down from the sky in the form of rain and up from the earth in the form of spring water - free of charge. These are the best sources of water and they should be kept free. Anybody with a rain barrel can collect pure rain water at no charge. Most people who own a farm or other valuable property have a spring or a well available to them. The rest of us are vulnerable to the schemers who seek to commercialize on our need.
Most people in the world do not have access to clean pure water. They drink directly from rivers and lakes and other sources that may not be pure. Sometimes they spend many hours of the day collecting water. Their health suffers as a result. The lack of clean water is a human rights violation and should be corrected.
In our part of the world, the so-called developed world, we have the full commercialization of water. Many of us have become water connoisseurs. We know and recognize the individual tastes of fine waters from all over the world. There is nothing wrong with this if you can afford it and enjoy it. But to think that water of a particular type or brand is better than other water is a fact yet to be proven to be a fact. Most often the claims made about a particular type of water are just that - claims. Claims that have an economic motive behind them.
Corrupt politicians, in the name of privatization and global free trade, have been turning control over water supplies over to private businesses. These private interests are doing what corporations are created to do - earn a profit. So if you don't have the money, you can't get a drink of water! How tragic! The most basic common show of human hospitality is to offer a drink of water to the thirsty. Now that basic level civilizing human characteristic is being threatened by market forces that have made water a commodity - rather than a product of Nature and a Universal right. An excellent way to jump-start the global economy would be to launch massive infra-structure projects throughout the world to see to it that every human being on earth has access to sufficient clean water to drink, bathe in and for agricultural and other uses.
Near the top of the economic opportunity pyramid for water is the expensive technology to alter the pH of water. Lately, there has been a lot of claims made for higher pH as being better for health. Alkaline is good, acid is bad - so goes the mantra. Except, the facts of the human body do not agree. If the claims about alkaline water were true, and you actually could alter the pH of the body in a significant way, then such water would be deadly. In the human body, life processes are only possible with in a narrow range of pH, hovering around 7.4. Even the slightest deviation from 7.4 in either direction can have deadly consequences. Acidosis and Alkalosis both produce disease. But luckily, the body has awesome ability to maintain a normal pH, and won't allow an alteration. Changes in pH of body fluids such as urine and saliva are just evidence that the body's ability to buffer itself is intact. Otherwise life would be impossible.
Some body tissues are acidic by virtue of their function. How could the stomach digest and sterilize food unless its pH is down around 1.0 - a very strong acid? What benefit would it be to change that? Bile that gets mixed into the food stream later on may have a pH up to 9.0, as the body is now neutralizing the previously acidified intestinal contents. This is an elegantly balanced system that should not be altered. To alter it is to create possible pathological conditions in the body.
Many painful arthritic conditions are due to hyper-alkalinity in the wrong place leading to calcium deposits that cause pain. So, my advise is to allow the body to care for itself in a natural way. The intelligence that governs the body is greater then that of our poorly educated brains.
So, just get some good clean water, filter it if need be, or boil it and drink it, but not too much, only the right amount. Depending on one's diet, you will need a certain amount of water to produce the digestive juices to digest your food. Keep an eye on the color of your urine. Let it be a light yellow. If it is deep dark yellow, that is a sure sign you are dehydrated. There are other more subtle signs of dehydration. Any time you feel less than well, drink some water. You will be surprised how often that will correct the problem.
Don't fall for the commercial hype about vitamin water, smart water, etc. These are highly refined water products that may be dangerous. Clustered water is available in raw milk - 89%.
Because most people in America eat food devoid of minerals, they probably would do well to avoid distilled water or rain water. Of course they should remedy their diet and they should be using liberal amounts of Celtic Sea Salt that will provide more than 92 different minerals the body and brain need in order to function well. Mineral spring water may contain some of these minerals, as does 'hard water'. Don't buy devices that soften water. Milk drinkers and those who fast - one meal a day- do not need so much water.
Once again thank you for your very important question. I am going to share your question and answer with others.
As salaam alaikum

Why You've Never Heard The Whole Truth About Vitamin D

CDC Claims 57 Million Flu Cases - Huh?

Don't forget, the CDC under the direction of WHO stopped the laboratory confirmation of flu cases in the middle of the 'great swine flu pandemic of 2009' back in July! That means all reports of 'swine flu cases' have no scientific basis since that time. It's like playing tennis without a net - it's easier to win that way - there is no standard to meet.

At the same time, the CDC is ignoring the the two deadly mutations of the H1N1 that have occurred around the world which seem to be responsible for the majority of the fatal cases.

So why is the CDC acting so stupid?

Maybe they have flu on the brain - or it's all about ensuring profits for the big drug makers who are shipping the millions of unused flu vaccines over seas to third world countries.

These vaccines going to Africa and elsewhere will be labeled 'foreign aid' but all the money will go to the pharmaceutical companies which are, as we know, too big to fail - even at math.

CDC Claims 57 million Swine Flu Cases - Where's the Proof?

By William Campbell Douglas MD

CDC fails at math The feds are still squealing over swine flu -- but no matter how loud they oink, their numbers just don't add up. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that 57 million Americans have come down with swine flu -- and their media lap dogs (or are they now pigs?) just ate it up. I saw that big number repeated in headlines everywhere as if that were a fact and not a completely made-up number. Oink, oink. But that's just what it is -- a story as true as those Babe the Pig movies. If someone can prove to me that 57 million Americans actually came down with swine flu, I'll trade my lab coat for overalls and take up hog farming. I mean it... but it's not going to happen. The truth is, no one knows how many swine flu cases there were, not even the math whizzes at the CDC. That 57 million figure is just the midpoint of a massive estimate range that claims up to 84 million Americans may have had swine flu. They may as well say it was between 1 and 300 million. Remember, the feds stopped counting swine flu cases in July -- they actually told state and local health authorities to stop testing for it and stop tracking it. It's better than burning evidence -- because they prevented the evidence from ever existing in the first place. Now, they can throw around any number they want without having to worry that the truth might someday come out and squeal on them. All we know for certain -- and this is based on real data from the CDC and state health departments -- is that only a tiny fraction of the suspected H1N1 cases that were sent to labs for confirmation actually turned out to be swine flu, or even any kind of flu at all. Most people just had a bad cold. Yet the feds keep pushing this myth that Americans should STILL rush out and get swine flu shots... hinting darkly at the possibility of a "third wave." If it's as "bad" as the first or second wave, you can safely keep your sleeve down... because this undercooked bacon is already cold.

Clear Choice of Life or Death

The article in blue is something you have not heard about in the general media. It shows that there has been no deaths from the use of supplements. Good news, right? Why does it not get mentioned on the evening news shows? Does it have anything to do with the fact that the biggest sponsors of the network news shows are the big drug companies? Maybe so.

The article in red is showing the other side of the coin. Supplements don't harm anyone, not even a single person in all of last year. But what about the FDA approved drugs and treatments that constitute mainstream orthodox medical practice in the United States? It turns out that the medical system itself is the biggest killer of all, out-stipping cancer and heart disease! Read and compare. Which one do you choose?

No Deaths from Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids Or Herbs

Poison Control Statistics Prove Supplements' Safety

Orthomolecular Medicine News Service

1-20-10

(OMNS) -- There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John's wort , valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any homeopathic remedies.

Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2008 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multimineral supplements. Two children died as a result of medical use of the antacid sodium bicarbonate. The other "Electrolyte and Mineral" category death was due to a man accidentally drinking sodium hydroxide, a highly toxic degreaser and drain-opener.

No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period.

61 poison centers provide coast-to-coast data for the U.S. National Poison Data System, which is then reviewed by 29 medical and clinical toxicologists. NPDS, the authors write, is "one of the few real-time national surveillance systems in existence, providing a model public health surveillance system for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response and situational awareness tracking."

Over half of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements. Even if each of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes 154,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 56 billion doses annually. Since many persons take more than just one vitamin or mineral tablet, actual consumption is considerably higher, and the safety of nutritional supplements is all the more remarkable.

If nutritional supplements are allegedly so "dangerous," as the FDA and news media so often claim, then where are the bodies?

Those who wonder if the media are biased against vitamins may consider this: how many television stations, newspapers, magazines, and medical journals have reported that no one dies from nutritional supplements?

The American Medical System
Is The Leading Cause Of Death And Injury

In The United States

By Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD
A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million. (1) Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics. (2, 2a)The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million. (3) The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million. (4) The total number of iatrogenic [induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures] deaths is 783,936.The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate is 553,251.
