FLU STATS ARE COOKED BY CROOKS IN HIGH PLACES

I got this from Dr. William Campbell Douglas II

Duke study PROVES you never need the flu vaccine again

I was an old school, "tough love" dad. When my kids came to me with some silly worry about a boogeyman under the bed, I had a simple rule.

I'd tell them to get off their duffs and check it out for themselves. Because no matter who's trying to terrify you... whether it's some mythical creature or our very own government... there's just no substitute for doing your own research.

And odds are, you'll discover there's nothing to be afraid of at all.

Case in point, when the media pounced like a pack of wild dogs on a recent study from the Duke University Medical Center that claimed 90% of flu patients in their Intensive Care Unit this season were folks who had skipped the flu shot.

The brainwashed flu vaccine cheerleaders would have you believe that by exercising your right to refuse the government's dangerous vaccination program, you're causing your chance of ending up in the one hospital department that keeps the funeral home on speed dial to skyrocket by 900%.

Frankly, that seemed a little fishy to me. So that's when I got off my duff and checked this one out for myself. And you know what? I didn't discover a boogeyman, but I did come across the ONE NUMBER these mainstream stooges would move heaven and earth to keep you from hearing.

If you live in the area served by DUMC, you have a two one-thousandths of a percent chance of ending up in the ICU with flu -- whether you got the vaccine or not! Heck, you practically have a better chance of falling out of an airplane!

DUMC is North Carolina's largest hospital, serving a market of one million people. And the Duke ICU wasn't exactly overrun with flu patients -- they've seen just 22 of them all season. In about a third of the cases used in the study, the patients' primary care physicians disputed whether they ever even had the flu at all!

But let me tell you when I REALLY knew the fix was in. A government website (sponsored by your tax dollars of course) reported on the Duke study and interviewed a doctor from Quinnipiac University who made the outrageous claim that the flu was killing 35,000 people a year.

Baloney! Our government's own statistics claim the flu is killing 3,500 (or fewer) people, not 35,000. And I have a hard time believing the good doctor forgot where to place the decimal.

The feds understand that if you knew the truth about flu and the worthless vaccine that's supposed to protect us from it, you'd never line up for a shot again. But it's time to tune out Uncle Sam's fear campaign, because when it comes to the flu, there's no boogeyman in the closet. It's just a government bureaucrat with a syringe. 

YOU ARE CHOKING, YOU ARE ALONE, WHAT TO DO?

This could save your life.

World's largest drug companies investigated for Alzheimer's fraud

World's largest drug companies investigated for Alzheimer's fraud

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.


There are two sets of pockets you should never look inside -- a five-year-old boy's and a drug company's. In one you might find a toad, and in the other you might find a corrupt medical researcher.

And they're both pretty disgusting to me.

Japan's Health Ministry fired the shot heard round the world recently when it announced it was investigating several of the world's largest drug companies after accusations of falsifying data in a government-funded study on Alzheimer's disease.

The list of accused cheaters reads like a "Who's Who In Big Pharma." Eleven drug firms in all, including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Takeda Pharmaceutical, and Astellas Pharma will now undergo the Japanese equivalent of a full rectal exam after a Tokyo professor accused them of fudging numbers to help advance drug company interests.

Shocking, huh?

Japan ponied up $28 million in taxpayer cash for the research, which was supposed to improve Alzheimer's treatment and diagnosis. They even let some drug company scientists in on the study -- and that's when things seemed to fall apart. Because instead of working on behalf of the Japanese taxpayers, as they were supposed to do, it seems all these scientists cared about was making their employers more cash.

All it took was one brave whistleblower to come forward, and the whole house of cards came crumbling down. And if what he's saying is true, this could be one of the greatest instances of research fraud ever to be exposed in Big Pharma's long and filthy history.

You see, this supposed fraud wasn't being carried about by some poor, misguided soul looking to score brownie points with his drug company boss. According to a special report in one of Japan's largest newspapers, there were AT LEAST four separate instances of researchers linked to drug companies and medical institutions trying to falsify data.

This looks systematic and organized. And, sadly, it's not surprising at all.

Let's face it -- this isn't exactly the first time Big Pharma has been accused of cooking the books. And how many times have they brought a drug to market based on safety data that turned out to be wishful thinking at best -- and fraud at worst?

The Japanese don't take shame sitting down, so if any drug company execs are thinking about committing hara-kiri, now would be the time. And I think I speak for billions of victimized patients and taxpayers everywhere when I say they won't be missed.

BEWARE OF ONLINE PHARMACIES

Ordinarily I have very little sympathy for Monsanto and Pfizer. Pfizer, business ethics are morbid. They were testing Viagra long ago for blood pressure issues. They discovered from the trials that men were seeing erectile dysfunction go away. Viagra failed miserably as a blood pressure drug, so it should have been worth no more than a nickel. When they found that they had stumbled onto an ED solution, they at once marketed the drug for extortionist prices. Never get the impression that care for patients is their deep motive. They are classic money grubbers, and there are many tales of their issuing drugs onto the market that were not tested well, with the result that people were maimed and killed.


So, if you see my opinion of Pfizer, you will understand that the following is more serious than my opinion.


Counterfeit  drugs are being smuggled into the USA by the tons. The most deadly method is via Canadian pharmacies which are businesses alright, but they handle a mix of real and deadly fake drugs. Crossing the border into Mexico for cheap prescription drugs is a valid choice, but, like the online Canadian and other sources, it is very hard to know if the Mexican government is on top of their market place.


I have purchased drugs in Mexico for blood pressure etc. They worked. But, I now wonder if this is safe. You should visit a doctor on the Mexican side who has a high recommendation of Mexican friends or colleagues. Ask him which Mexican brands and pharmacies are safe. The price is often as much as 80% cheaper than the US variety, and it is made by a subsidiarity of Big Pharma in Mexico. These valid drugs show us clearly what extortionist prices we pay for the "real thing." Again, Big Pharma are highway robbers, but their product is as pure as prescription drugs get. Safe is not the only issue though. Are there benign alternatives that God made? 


The rule is, if you want meds from any nation outside the USA, get them IN that nation from people who will go to jail if the sell you counterfeits. Get a prescription from your doctor BEFORE going to that nation to buy the drugs. A prescription from a Mexican doctor was accepted by the US Customs and Immigration people that last I knew. But, find a well established doctor in a real clinic, not that alleged "doctor" sitting at a table in the back of the pharmacy in El Paso.


Here is a video. It is a bit dramatic, but the message is fact, and the consequences are deadly. The main feature is Viagra because it is a non-essential drug, meaning that it is not needed for normal health of therapy-- it is elective, and it is expensive. The demand is tremendous for obvious reasons. If Pfizer were really concerned for the health of Americans they could dry up this trade overnight simply by seriously dropping the price for Viagra. The market would never go away. They will make money for many years.


WATCH PLEASE


The other videos offered at that site above may help to better understand the issues.


There are many other drugs counterfeited other than Viagra. Also, there are imported copies, often under another name, which are chemically the same. But, the further you get from the parent company, the more chance the drug is fake, or at least less potent, or may not absorb correctly. You will not rise to the occasion if the sub-standard Viagra does not dissolve. 


There are some issues that cannot be dealt with by alternative treatment or nutrition which we recommend. My wife and I had a very potent strain of Malaria in Ethiopia when we lived there. Without Big Pharma drugs, we would have either died or been left with brain damage. Some of my detractors will tell you the latter actually DID happen. I will leave that for you to decide :-)


In any case, do not pop any drug, even over the counter, that cannot be backed up by someone who is liable for prosecution of losing their license to practice if they sell you rubbish. Your pharmacist is really the most qualified to do this. Even many doctors will tell you that the pharmacist is under the most threat to prevent errors in dispensing drugs. A good pharmacist will also tell you if there are other alternatives to the drug you take. Back to the doctor though to get the final verdict.


As to Viagra, there are herbal options that work as well, but they take time to work, and they may still have side effects. They are less costly, and Big Pharma will never admit they are there. Google for sites with a good reputation to do research for ED herbs at sites, like Dr. Mercola and Dr. Shahalian. The other rule with ED drugs is to get the best results you can from herbs, and then add a limited dose of Viagra. Run your choices by a licensed Pharmacist before you venture into this. They have a massive data base that tells them all the safe combinations. Unproven experimentation can result in serious issues with your member, or it can leave you permanently unable to perform at all.


One of the best ways to avoid ED is to stay out of bed with anyone but your wife, as Solomon suggested long ago:



Proverbs 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

When a politician asks me to trust him to run the USA, yet he is on his third wife, one of which he drove away from him by asking her to share his with other women, BAH. I would vote for a yeller dog before I would vote for such a womanizer. We were grossed out by Slick Willy making a whore house out of the Oval Office-- why ask for it again?


Yes, I am talking about The Newter, which is perhaps a misnomer par excellance.

I suspect the US Congress and Senate help greatly to keep Pfizer's bottom well into the black.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

When pain is an issue, IF it is not caused by joint deterioration, deep tissue message is in order. It is famous with athletes, but seniors who have developed a problem in muscles because of favoring a leg, or overdoing some activity, can also benefit.


Me wife bought a small trampolene to try to loosen up joints and move toxins out of joints. The idea is great, but she overdid it some. The result was that old pain went away, and new leg pain in muscles developed. This message is what I am using to try to loosen up contracted muscles.


Do not go so far that pain is felt. This means starting with a very light pressure. Increase it over time at the rate the pain recedes. Keep walking. Keep your head up. Use a walking or hiding stick so you are not frightened of looking down. If you walk on the farm, like we do, beware of looking down all the time to not step in chicken manure. Have a pair of shoes you can leave at the door so you don't dread the de-manuring routine.


Walk tall, do not favor one leg, which means walk slow to minimize pain.

SALTY LIES

According the the CDC salt causes high blood pressure, which causes heart failure.


LIE


According to one of the clinical doctors (MS) we subscribe to, a doctor who does his own research of research findings worldwide, there have been around 17,000 research projects trying to link salt intake to heart disease. One, and only one, research found a connection, and that one reported that too LITTLE salt would cause arrhythmia issues.


The body NEEDS salt, and many people with heart rate issues are really suffering from too little sodium. That is a no brainer, for electrolytes are needed for the electrical impulses to flow normally in the body. 


Here is what I would do if I had arrhythmia issues, or rapid heart rate etc. I would try adding salt, magnesium, and potassium to my supplements. If the heart issues decrease or go away, I would ignore my doctor, and learn by experiment how much I need to add.


As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I have had to do all the time. If I go to bed, and I have an antsy feeling and my heart is skipping beats, I get up, pour a glass of orange juice, add about a third of a teaspoon of both salt and sodium bicarbonate to the orange juice, and sip it over about fifteen minutes. It is only a very short time before I am feeling fine, and my heart is beating normally.


Research has shown that Americans are almost all low on salt. The extra salt in food in the market place is no real danger at all. Add some iodine supplement (Lugol's Solution) also-- about 80% of all Americans are low in iodine. Two drops a day of orally prepared iodine is about right.


All doctors still tell patients to reduce their salt, even if they are normal on sodium. It is one of those magic little nanny moments doctors seem to feel justify their existence. It is, in fact, a crock. One is tempted to believe that the medical schools, most of which hire doctors on pay or gratuity from Big Pharma, WANT you low on salt to the Big Pharma will have another customer.


If this shocks you, that is, about salt, simply to to Google and search for discussions of salt intake.

MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING OF CHILDREN

Ron Paul, a medical doctor as well as a Representative in the US House, is trying to protect children from a draconian fascist trick to find ways to remove more kids from their homes and put them on psychotropic drugs. This is really a clear case of pay offs by Big Pharma to limp wristed Democrats. Help Ron Paul get this stopped.

CARJACKING WARNING

Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!

THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating....You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car that is, when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.

So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, maybe credit cards, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Report from a friend:
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas… Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car… Then we received this email yesterday.


Steve suggests:
I had to give the creeps ideas, but I assume they will also tie a tin can on the rear or front bumper to clang along as you start to back up. Men especially will panic, jump out to see what is wrong, and the car will be carjacked. This is a time to drive on down the road, make sure you are not followed, and stop after a few blocks to see what is happening. If a can is tied under the car, get back in fast, and drive to the nearest police station. Do not touch the can. The cops may decide to fingerprint it.

This world is very ugly. So, we all must think criminal at times to be prepared for the wicked.

In Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, or anywhere with a "castle domain law," take the gun in your car as you exit, loaded, cocked, and ready as you go in the house etc.

A MERRY HEART..... IT IS STILL GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE

Solomon has this right, as revelation of God to him, about 2800 years ago:


Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.


So, here is my article on my online journal on the subject:

THIS IS THE BOMB-- IF YOU MISS THE POINT, YOU COULD WELL BE KILLED BY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

Dr. Mercola posted this on his web page. It is a 60 Minutes program on corruption in the US Government. The massive point is this-- Big Pharma is the single most wealthy and vigorous corruptor of Congressmen, and this video tells us exactly how it was done. Jack Abramoff of the Bush era tells all.

WATCH PLEASE, BOOKMARK IT, AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS


The lessons are these:


1. One man owned at least 100 greedy Congressmen, and this means they voted in his favor and kicked us constituents under the bus. If one man could do this, what did other lobbyists accomplish? Is it even possible that a Congressman exists who is honest. I doubt it.


2. This also means that when your doctor tells you that you need a test for an alleged disorder, he has not idea if you need any help. When the test comes back, it will be interpreted in a way that you become a customer of Big Pharma for the rest of your life. The drugs prescribed for your phony "condition" are not needed, and they have terrible side effects. So, your doctor will then prescribe drugs to deal with the side effects. If this is done carefully, the medical establishment can eventually have you on ten to fifteen drugs, none of which are needed. The drugs are designed to keep you alive by sick until about the age of 80. Big Pharma, the doctors, the Congressmen, and lobbyists will make a very good living from using your body as a dump for their deadly drugs. Be it statins, chemotherapy, MRIs, PSA tests, mammograms, vaccinations, flu shots, psychotropic drugs, whatever, your doctor (even if he thinks he is helping you) is a shill for Big Pharma, and you are the cash cow.


3. Finally, it occurred to me that we now know why more of these corrupt men are not investigated and tried and sent to jail. Once they are let out of prison, they have no life to speak of. All that is left for them to do is to admit what they did, and then they are VERY likely to talk and squeal on the corrupted men they used. Thus, Presidents and Committee leaders in congress do not want the guilty to be caught and convicted lest they fink on the wicked still in office.


Our system of government is toast. We have no future as a nation. We the people are being lied to, used, and are the victims of Big Pharma and a hundred other special interest groups.


I suggest you always walk away from a doctor who claims you have some disorder, or he says this or that lab number is too low of too high. These numbers are a racket to make you sick when you are quite well. And, it is worse in the USA than just about any nation on earth. ALWAYS go home, get online, and GOOGLE, GOOGLE, GOOGLE. And, go see a doctor who practices integrative and natural medicine along with his professional training.


Personal. About five years ago I started into poor health. I had a business selling piano parts and tools on the Internet, and it was thriving. I tried to slow it down, and it only grew and grew. As time passed I developed worse and worse blood pressure issues, and I got into serious anxiety. All from success. Did anyone ask about this at the VA or in private medical offices? Never- they simply prescribed and prescribed until I was on four blood pressure meds and other drugs.


Finally, by accident, I learned I was reactive to MSG. I had to find this out myself. When I eliminated MSG from my diet, things improved greatly, but I was still in trouble. Finally, and old time Tennessee doctor with a Bible in his white smock nailed my problem and told me I would have to do something about having too much success. Sounds crazy for an American to think that way, but it was just the prescription I needed. He predicted I would one day be on only one blood pressure med if I followed the sane plan of Jehovah God for a rational person.


I sold my business, sold the house, moved to the Texas Hill Country, and four years later I am on a quarter does of ONE of the blood pressure meds, a half dose of Fenasteride, and cranberries and other herbs appear to be making that unnecessary soon. I feel fit, walk a mile and a half briskly, my mind functions better (I hope :-), and I have nothing physically wrong but a kink in my neck. If I find a worthy chiropractor in the area, that might even go away. I am building a green house, and I manage a large journal online and four blogs. I am 68 years old.


If I had continued along the path Big Pharma, the VA, most doctors, and the FDA had me on, I suspect I might be in a nursing home right now. I no longer keep lab appointments. I make excuses and put it off. I take no fly shots. I do not do anything a doctor tells me to do, or fill a prescription, until I have been on the web pounding Google for the real truth. It can be found if you work at it.


Please, stop believing everything your doctor tells you. And, for pity's sake, stop watching that idiot, Dr. Patel, on that TV hook up in the doctor's office. If America has a serious propaganda problem, it is the medical information on commercial TV and the rubbish in most doctor's offices.


By the way, that doctor in Tennessee who helped me..... when the drug company reps came to his office to bribe him with dinners and golf, his desk girl was under orders to run them off.


Finally, if you feel fit and better now than you have in the recent past, WHY are you still making doctor's appointments. They will only try to convince you that you are ill and have a disorder. Live life, and wait until you have REAL symptoms before you call the doctor's office.

STAIN DRUGS DESTROY, NOT HELP, YOUR HEART

Is This Popular 'Heart Drug' Causing Dramatic Increases in the Risk of Prostate Cancer?

By Dr. Mercola

Statins, drugs that lower your cholesterol levels, are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.

In the US, a staggering one in four over the age of 45 is now taking this unnecessary drug!

Statins act by blocking a crucial  enzyme in your liver responsible for making cholesterol.

But that's not all this enzyme is responsible for.

This enzyme also makes CoQ10, which is essential for mitochondrial health.

Perhaps it's not so surprising then that many potentially dangerous side effects go hand-in-hand with statin drug use.

To date, there are no less than 900 studies proving their adverse effects, which run the gamut from muscle problems to diabetes, to birth defects and increased cancer risk.

Statins May Increase Prostate Cancer Risk

One recent study sought to determine whether the use of statin drugs was associated with prostate cancer risk.

The researchers looked at close to 400 prostate cancer patients who had a first-time diagnosis during the period between 2005 and 2008.

They found that use of any statin drug, in any amount, was associated with a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer.

In addition, there was an increasing risk that came along with an increasing cumulative dose.

According to the study:

"The results of this case-control study suggest that statins may increase the risk of prostate cancer."

Statins Have Been Linked to Increased Cancer Risk for More Than a Decade

While the evidence still appears a bit all over the map, with study results ranging from increased cancer risk to reduced risk, to no noticeable risk at all, what IS clear is that conventional medicine still does not understand the full ramifications of artificially lowering your cholesterol levels, and they simply don't know whether or not the use of these drugs may be adding fuel to an already out of control cancer epidemic.

In short, with well over 30 million Americans now taking statin drugs, we're witnessing a massive ongoing 'live' experiment.

Over 10 years ago, research indicated that besides lowering cholesterol, statins could also promote the growth of new blood vessels. And, although this effect may help to prevent heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, it may also promote cancer as well by increasing the growth of blood vessels in cancerous tumors. Meanwhile, other studies have indicated the complete opposite; that statins can inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), so again, it's virtually impossible to say that statin safety and effectiveness is based on hard science...

But the statin-cancer connection actually goes much farther back than that. A review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1996 stated:

"All members of the two most popular classes of lipid-lowering drugs (the fibrates and the statins) cause cancer in rodents, in some cases at levels of animal exposure close to those prescribed to humans. ...

Longer-term clinical trials and careful postmarketing surveillance during the next several decades are needed to determine whether cholesterol-lowering drugs cause cancer in humans.

In the meantime, the results of experiments in animals and humans suggest that lipid-lowering drug treatment, especially with the fibrates and statins, should be avoided except in patients at high short-term risk of coronary heart disease."

Cholesterol Guidelines are a Health Disaster

Needless to say, such warnings were completely ignored. Instead, public health officials have gone the opposite way, happily following the trail littered with the most cash.

Over the past decade, cholesterol guidelines have been altered to create ever more 'patients' to be treated with cholesterol-lowering drugs. In 2004, the U.S. government's National Cholesterol Education Program panel advised those at risk for heart disease to attempt to reduce their LDL (bad) cholesterol to extremely low levels, and it's been a health disaster ever since.

Before 2004, a 130-milligram LDL cholesterol level was considered healthy. The updated guidelines, however, recommended levels of less than 100, or even less than 70 for patients at very high risk. These updated guidelines instantly increased the market for cholesterol-lowering drugs. The marked has further increased with the call to begin screening children prior to puberty, and prescribing statins to kids as young as eight.

Not surprisingly, eight of the nine doctors on the approval panel for these absurdly low guidelines had financial ties to the companies making these cholesterol-lowering drugs.

FDA Doesn't "Believe" in Statin-Cancer Link

Back in 2008, troubling study findings were released showing a dramatically increased risk of cancer related deaths in those taking Inegy (also sold under the trade name Vytorin). The drug combines the widely-used statin drug simvastatin with another medication called ezetimibe, which blocks the absorption of cholesterol in your gut. The study also found no benefit whatsoever from the drug.

This despite the fact that it reduced LDL cholesterol levels by a respectable 61 percent, which "should have" had an effect on cardiovascular events, based on the prevailing hypothesis that high LDL equates to high risk of heart disease.

So, in a nutshell, the drug had no beneficial impact on the primary outcome (meaning it did not reduce major cardiovascular adverse events), while more people developed cancer on the treatment (105 versus 70 patients taking a placebo), and more cancer related deaths (39 cancer deaths versus 23 in the control group).

A couple of months after the results were revealed, a panel assembled by the American Academy of Cardiology declared that:

"... the aggressively marketed drug combination should be used only as a last resort. There is currently no evidence that ezetimibe, which reduces levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, improves clinical outcomes such as myocardial infarction or death."

In December 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the completion of their review of the disturbing SEAS trial (above), as well as interim data from two other large-scale ongoing cardiovascular trials using Vytorin: the SHARP and IMPROVE-IT trials. (The SHARP trial was concluded in 2010, while the IMPROVE-IT trial is expected to be completed in 2012.)

Their conclusion?

"FDA believes it is unlikely that Vytorin or Zetia increase the risk of cancer or cancer-related death."

I don't know how much faith you have in the FDA's beliefs, but mine is on pretty shaky ground... The FDA goes on to list a number of factors that were weighed to reach the conclusion that they believe cancer is unrelated to the drugs. You can review them for yourself here, and see if you would concur with their assessment.

Statins May Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease

Ironically, while reducing your risk of cardiovascular events and heart disease is the primary motivation for prescribing statins, these drugs can actually increase your risk of heart disease because they deplete your body of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which can lead to heart failure.  Statins have also been linked to:

Weakness	Serious degenerative muscle tissue condition (rhabdomyolysis)	Pancreas or liver dysfunction, including a potential increase in liver enzymes
Muscle problems, aches and pains	Diabetes	Polyneuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet)
Immune system suppression	Increased risk of food borne illness	Anemia
Sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction)	Cataracts	Cognitive impairment, including memory loss and transient global amnesia

The Importance of CoQ10 or, if You're Over 40, Ubiquinol

As mentioned in the beginning, statin drugs also block the production of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and that in and of itself poses a veryserious health risk. As your body gets more and more depleted of CoQ10, you may suffer from fatigue, muscle weakness and soreness, and eventually heart failure. Coenzyme Q10 plays a vital role in the process of neutralizing free radicals and the optimal production of cellular energy.

Unfortunately, the majority of people who take statins are unaware of their need for CoQ10, and physicians rarely advise their patients to take this supplement along with their statin—at least in the United States. It's also important to supplement right from the start, to ward off irreversible mitochondrial damage.

Make no mistake about it, if you're on a statin drug, you simply must take a CoQ10 supplement. If you're over the age of 40, I strongly recommend using the reduced version, called ubiquinol.

Ubiquinol is a far more effective form—I personally take it every day as it has far-ranging health benefits. There's evidence that CoQ10/ubiquinol is beneficial for Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer, as well as staving off premature aging in general by preventing telomere shortening, which can slow or potentially even reverse the aging process.

Unlike drugs that kill over 125,000 every year in the US alone, there are no reported side effects of CoQ10 supplementation and no one has ever died from taking it.

What Drug Companies Don't Want You to Know About LDL

While statins drugs are very effective for lowering so-called "bad" cholesterol, the low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, it's important to realize that there are different sizes of LDL cholesterol particles, and it's the LDL particle size that is relevant, as small particles get stuck easily and causes more inflammation. Unfortunately, most people don't hear about that part, and very rarely, if ever, get it tested.

Naturally, the drug companies really don't want you to know about this, because statins do not modulate the size of the particles.  

The only way to make sure your LDL particles are large enough to not get stuck and cause inflammation and damage is through your diet. In fact, modulating LDL particle size is one of the things that insulin does. If you eat properly and maintain normal insulin levels, then everything works as it should—the LDL particles are large and buoyant; they don't get stuck, and don't cause inflammation.

So rather than worry about your cholesterol numbers, you really want to work on reducing inflammation, which can be caused by numerous things, including:

• Oxidized cholesterol (cholesterol that has gone rancid, such as that from overcooked, scrambled eggs)
• Eating lots of sugar and grains
• Eating foods cooked at high temperatures
• Eating trans fats
• A sedentary lifestyle
• Smoking
• Emotional stress

When you get to the bottom of it, the real "villain" of heart disease is typically an unhealthy lifestyle, characterized by a heavy reliance on sugars and grains, processed, highly cooked foods, and insufficient amounts of exercise – not "high cholesterol" per se.

ATTACKING RAW MILK PRODUCERS

You may be sure that the reason the FDA is attacking raw milk producers is very simple. Either Obama himself, or the FDA officials, have been paid off by big milk producers. 


READ ABOUT IT HERE


Why do they want raw milk off the market?


1. As the story of ruined commercial milk passes around via raw milk users, the public is very likely to figure out that they are drinking rubbish called milk. The antibiotics are only one issue.


2. Commercial milk does not contain congudated linoleic acid. Only grass fed runinant cattle produce CLA. Since CLA is known to resist the development of cancer, Big Pharma will make less money. The FDA is now famous for causing cancer to spread so that they get the kick backs from Big Pharma who sell cancer drugs. 


3. If you buy raw milk that is neither pasteurized nor homogenized, you taste real milk. It is not flat in flavor. Also, you can skim your own cream off the top, and the milk producers cannot make the premium prices for selling you cream. You are unknowingly cutting them out of a lot of cash flow.


4. Big Nanny WANTS big business to destroy small businessmen. The Hidden Hand is trying to make business in America collectivist so that Big Nanny can control it all easier.


So, buy a cow from a farmer, and sign a contract with him to feed and milk your cow. This way, you can drink the milk from your own cow.


Proverbs 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.


I pray that evil comes to stay in the corrupt Federal officials in high places.
