Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Anthrax, and more BS propaganda

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I’m just no good at playing the starry-eyed gullible zombie or the devil’s advocate, neither are you if you’re reading this.

The latest Swine Flu propaganda by mainstream media is history replaying itself. How many threats of pandemics have we had already (by the politicians and mainstream media) that have never come to fruition? Because they held back the spread of infectious disease with their advanced science? BULLSHIT! Here’s an excerpt from the NY Times that already states how behind the times that mainstream immunologists are:

Swine Flu Vaccine May Be Months Away, Experts Say
Federal officials said it would take until January, or late November at the earliest, to make enough vaccine to protect all Americans from a possible epidemic of swine flu.

And beyond the United States and a few other countries that also make vaccines, some experts said it could take years to produce enough swine flu vaccine to satisfy global demand.

Although production is much faster than would have been possible even a few years ago, it still may not be in time to avert death and illness if the virus starts spreading widely and becomes more virulent, some experts said.

In this country, the biggest problem is that despite years of effort, the country is still relying on half-century-old technology to make the flu vaccines.

Federal authorities have spent years and more than a billion dollars trying to shift vaccine production to a faster, more reliable method — one that involves growing the vaccine viruses in vats of cells rather than in hen’s eggs, the old technology. And there are numerous small companies developing totally new approaches that might allow for the production of huge volumes of vaccines in a matter of weeks.

But the cell-based production is not quite ready, and some of the newer techniques are not proven enough to satisfy many experts….

(Let’s not forget the numbers.)

The government also gave $1.3 billion, spread among several manufacturers, to develop ways of producing the vaccine in vats of animal cells rather than in eggs. Cell culture is less vulnerable to contamination and the process could save at least a few weeks…

But Novartis is building a cell culture flu vaccine factory in Holly Springs, N.C., which might be ready for use in 2010 or 2011. The federal government is providing nearly $500 million in construction costs and guaranteed vaccine purchases….

Do you smell what that money trail is cooking? More Villas in the Bahamas and European Vacations for every Big Pharma CEO who wins a big gov’t contract.

Here’s a little ditty on how big pharma stocks soar when pandemic threats are on the rise:

The swine flu outbreak is likely to benefit one of the most prolific and successful venture capital firms in the United States: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Thomson Reuters Private Equity Week reported on Friday.

Shares of the two public companies in the firm’s portfolio of eight Pandemic and Bio Defense companies – BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX.O) and Novavax (NVAX.O) – jumped Friday on news that the swine flu killed a reported 60 people in Mexico and has infected people in the United States.

The OMG moment of the century: Illinois-based Baxter working on vaccine to ‘stop’ swine flu outbreak in Mexico, 25 Apr 2009

Specialty drug maker Baxter International Inc. [implicated in spreading Bird Flu by sending samples to labs all over the world which were subsequently "lost"] will work with the World Health Organization to develop a vaccine that could stem an outbreak of a deadly swine flu strain in Mexico.

Baxter spokesman Christopher Bona said Saturday that the Deerfield, Ill.-based company has asked the WHO for a sample of the flu strain. He says Baxter has patented technology that allows the company to develop vaccines in half the time it usually takes – about 13 weeks instead of 26.

[Perhaps they really mean that they will spread the swine flu in half the time it would usually take. Is Baxter International taking a page from the Blackwater playbook? Just as Blackwater/Xe keep on killing to justify their multi-billion dollar contracts to provide 'security' in Iraq and Afghanistan, Baxter International is poised to make *billions* to vaccinate people against their pandemic.]

Here’s a little ditty for Mexico’s mainstream; it’s not as if they’re not enjoying the publicity:

With almost 2,000 people suffering from flu-like symptoms and 22 confirmed deaths in Mexico, the international community is taking the swine flu threat seriously.

The European Union’s health commissioner warned non-essential travel to both Mexico and the United States is inadvisable. The U.S. government has said travel south of the border should be avoided.

Cases of swine flu have now been confirmed in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Israel, bringing the number of countries with confirmed cases to seven, and suspected cases in nine more countries.

The World Health Organization has raised its pandemic alert from level 3 to level 4, which means “a significant increase in risk of a pandemic but does not necessarily mean that a pandemic is a forgone conclusion,” according to its website. The warning notes infection can spread between humans to cause “community-level outbreaks.”

[By contracting Baxter, it is better to call them the World Hell Organization.]

Guadalajara Reporter

This is why the web is the first haven for seekers of the truth. You will find people with connections to unfettered, practical solutions.

Unfortunately, mainstream press pushes threats, mainstream medicine pushes Tamiflu, a vaccine that was never made for the current strain of swine flu, and the politicians push whatever is handed to them when, in fact, we should be listening to the scientists who are really researching the source of swine flu – not politicians who report whatever is convenient. Politicians are not scientists.

Let’s look at a few excepts from the article, Special Alert: The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction? written by Dr. Joseph Mercola, an unbiased, altruisitic physician who is truly interested in protecting your health, not the fiscal solvency of big pharma:

..On April 27, Time magazine published an article which discusses how dozens died and hundreds were injured from vaccines as a result of the 1976 swine flu fiasco, when the Ford administration attempted to use the infection of soldiers at Fort Dix as a pretext for a mass vaccination of the entire country.

Despite acknowledging that the 1976 farce was an example of “how not to handle a flu outbreak”, the article still introduces the notion that officials “may soon have to consider whether to institute draconian measures to combat the disease…”

This is NOT the First Swine Flu Panic

My guess is that you can expect to see a lot of panic over this issue in the near future. But the key is to remain calm — this isn’t the first time the public has been warned about swine flu. The last time was in 1976, right before I entered medical school and I remember it very clearly. It resulted in the massive swine flu vaccine campaign.

Do you happen to recall the result of this massive campaign?

Within a few months, claims totaling $1.3 billion had been filed by victims who had suffered paralysis from the vaccine. The vaccine was also blamed for 25 deaths.

However, several hundred people developed crippling Guillain-Barré Syndrome after they were injected with the swine flu vaccine. Even healthy 20-year-olds ended up as paraplegics.

And the swine flu pandemic itself? It never materialized.

More People Died From the Swine Flu Vaccine than Swine Flu!

It is very difficult to forecast a pandemic, and a rash response can be extremely damaging.

As of Monday April 27, the worldwide total number of confirmed cases was 82, according to WHO, which included 40 cases in the U.S., confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control. But does that truly warrant the feverish news headlines?

To put things into perspective, malaria kills 3,000 people EVERY DAY, and it’s considered “a health problem”… But of course, there are no fancy vaccines for malaria that can rake in billions of dollars in a short amount of time.

One Australian news source, for example, states that even a mild swine flu epidemic could lead to the deaths of 1.4 million people and would reduce economic growth by nearly $5 trillion dollars.

Give me a break, if this doesn’t sound like the outlandish cries of the pandemic bird-flu I don’t know what does. Do you remember when President Bush said two million Americans would die as a result of the bird flu? …

 

Please read the rest of Dr. Mercola’s article, The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction?
if you want to actually know the truth about what’s really going on and what to do to protect yourself and your loved ones rather than jump on the paranoia bandwagon with the rest of the loonies.

If you want truly advanced, space age protection against bizarre strains of disease, then please do some research on the healing science of bioresonant energy medicine.

Dr. Royal Raymond Rife was the premier researcher in energy oriented medicine; he discovered that certain plasma wave frequencies can disrupt the cellular structure of different pathogens. A big pharma vaccine needs millions of dollars of testing. A bioresonant device only needs a few minutes of tuning (for free, by you or a naturopathic practitioner). You decide.

Royal Rife’s Accomplishments With Cancer Using Electronic Frequencies And His Breakthrough Microsope Have Generated Quite a Bit of Confusion.

Biohazard: Toxic Effects of Common Plastic Containers

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

The following is an addendum to Earth Day Remembers North Pacific Trash Gyre. I was going to tack this onto the same post, but it’s getting too long. Please observe the following cautions when buying your food in plastic containers. Common plastic containers and plastic lined metal containers may be leeching toxic chemicals into your food even as it sits on supermarket store shelves.

The toxicity studies are still on going. The common question is, “why would THEY sell food in containers that are not safe?” THEY, meaning the big, industrialized food producers, are interested in maximizing their profit by using the cheapest containers possible. When greed comes in first, Your Safety comes in second. Please observe the following precautions:

What Plastics Do to Your Body

Scientists are mostly worried about bisphenol-A or BPA. “It’s an endocrine disruptor and in numerous animal studies it’s been linked to cancer, infertility, obesity and early puberty,” says Anila Jacob, M.D., M.P.H., a senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit research and advocacy organization in Washington, D.C. The CDC has found this chemical in 93 percent of people they have tested,” she says.

BPA is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastic or items marked with the number 7 on the bottom. Some plastic dishes, cups, reusable water bottles and baby bottles are made out of polycarbonate. Heating foods in polycarbonate plastic increases the amount of BPA that leaches into food, Jacob says. Frances Beinecke, president of the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental action group, worries about BPA’s possible role in breast cancer. Beinecke, a breast cancer survivor, says BPA is a synthetic form of estrogen, and doctors know estrogen feeds breast cancer.

It ramps up cell division in pre-cancerous cells and it can prompt tumors to metastasize,” she says. “In animal studies, BPA has been found to cause the early onset of puberty and stimulate mammary gland development in females. The estrogen-like properties in BPA are so strong that even when male rodents were exposed to it, they had an increased risk of mammary tumors.” The studies done to date have all been on animals, Jacob says, because it’s difficult to study in humans as we have already been exposed via multiple routes. “We think the animal data is convincing enough that it warrants concern,” Jacob says.

BPA also is used to line the inside of metal food and soda cans and can leach from the can liner into the food. Acidic foods like tomato sauces and soda absorb more BPA. Other plastic containers–like those made with polyvinyl chloride or PVC and marked with the number 3 concern scientists for health and environmental reasons. PVC contains phthalates, softeners need to make the plastic bend and they have been found to interfere with hormonal development. The production of and burning of PVC plastic releases dioxin, a known carcinogen, into the atmosphere.

All food plastic wraps used to be made with PVC, but many large name brands have quit using PVC. However, the cling wrap used for commercial purposes, such as the meat department of your grocery store, often contain phthalates. Gina Solomon, M.D., M.P.H., a senior scientist with the NRDC, suggests checking the date when you buy food wrapped in cling wrap. Buying something recently wrapped is your safest bet, she says.

For its part, the FDA agrees that substances used to make plastics can leach into food. But the agency says it has studied them and found “the levels to be well within the margin of safety based on information available to the agency.” (so says the special interest agency that approves prescription drugs that have caused innumerable deaths in once healthy people including Gardasil.)

“Safer” Plastics

#1 PETE or PET
(polyethylene terephthalate)–used for most clear beverage bottles, such as 2-liter soda, cooking oil bottles and peanut butter jars. One of the most commonly recycled plastics on the planet.

#2 HDPE (high-density polyethylene)–used to make most milk jugs.

#4 LDPE (low-density polyethylene)–used in food storage bags, some cling wraps and some squeeze bottles.

#5 PP (polypropylene)–used in opaque, hard containers, including some baby bottles and some cups and bowls. Drinking straws and yogurt containers are sometimes made with this.

Avoid These

#3 PVC (polyvinyl chloride)–used in commercial plastic wraps and salad dressing bottles.

#6 PS (polystyrene)–used in Styrofoam cups, meat trays and “clam-shell”-type containers.

#7 Other (these contain any plastic other than those used in #1-6. Most are polycarbonate which contain BPA)–used in some water bottles, Nalgene water bottles, some baby bottles, and some metal can linings.

Easy Tips
• Using plastic water bottles? Go for a metal or stainless steel container instead.
• Using a plastic spatula? Try using a metal spatula or wooden spoon instead.
• Using Tupperware? Try pyrex glass containers that go straight from the fridge to the oven. When you use a plastic container in a microwave oven, you are guaranteed to each plastic with your food.

• Buying ready-to-drink juices? Frozen concentrate stores longer and is typically packaged in paper.
• Using plastic cutting boards? How about a bamboo cutting board?
• Using a plastic lunch box? A stainless steel laptop lunchbox provides a sturdy, elegant alternative. Or how about a clothe bag or just reuse a paper bag you got from the supermarket?

Updated Research: Honey Bees Colony Collapse Disorder

Monday, April 20th, 2009

This is an addendum to the posts Bioenergetic Research on Vanishing Bees, Colony Collapse Disorder Honey Bee Research, and Is the Hidden Microwave Infrastructure Dangerous?

Cure For Honey Bee Colony Collapse?

ScienceDaily (Apr. 14, 2009) — For the first time, scientists have isolated the parasite Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia) from professional apiaries suffering from honey bee colony depopulation syndrome. They then went on to treat the infection with complete success.

In a study published in the new journal from the Society for Applied Microbiology: Environmental Microbiology Reports, scientists from Spain analysed two apiaries and found evidence of honey bee colony depopulation syndrome (also known as colony collapse disorder in the USA). They found no evidence of any other cause of the disease (such as the Varroa destructor, IAPV or pesticides), other than infection with Nosema ceranae. The researchers then treated the infected surviving under-populated colonies with the antibiotic drug, flumagillin and demonstrated complete recovery of all infected colonies.

The loss of honey bees could have an enormous horticultural and economic impact worldwide. Honeybees are important pollinators of crops, fruit and wild flowers and are indispensable for a sustainable and profitable agriculture as well as for the maintenance of the non-agricultural ecosystem. Honeybees are attacked by numerous pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.

For most of these diseases, the molecular pathogenesis is poorly understood, hampering the development of new ways to prevent and combat honeybee diseases. So, any progress made in identifying causes and subsequent treatments of honey bee colony collapse is invaluable. There have been other hypothesis for colony collapse in Europe and the USA, but never has this bug been identified as the primary cause in professional apiaries.

“Now that we know one strain of parasite that could be responsible, we can look for signs of infection and treat any infected colonies before the infection spreads” said Dr Higes, principle researcher.

This finding could help prevent the continual decline in honey bee population which has recently been seen in Europe and the USA.

Please keep in mind that parasites attack weakened living tissue. Since Colony Collapse Disorder is relatively recent and not a normal way of life for the bees, then something must be weakening the bees in the first place.

On the other hand, when we google Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia), the information on this parasite has proliferated quite extensively due to much experimentation; it seems to be occuring specifically in Apis mellifera, bees. This emergent pathogen almost seems to be engineered to attack bees. (See Experimental Infection of Apis Mellifera Honeybees with Nosema ceranae)

In fact, according to the following report, Widespread dispersal of the microsporidian Nosema ceranae, an emergent pathogen of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, this information has already been known for a few years. Please stay tuned for further updates. Thanks for your time.

Updated Legislation: Aspartame, Artificial Fluoridation

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I prefer to keep these interludes in the poison spectrum to a minimum. Instead of highlighting the evils in society, we need to recognize them, then eliminate them. Unfortunately, bad science propaganda pumped into the mainstream by special interest groups makes the average plebian believe that aspartame sweetners in food products and artificial fluoridation of drinking water are safe.

“Why would they allow the public to buy it if it’s not safe?”

Querys the gullible mind. Obviously, to make that gullible mind even more gullible and to raise generation after generation of gullible people.

Fortunately, you’re here. This means you’re more interested in the facts. You’re more interested in objective professional opinions concerning the health and well being of everyone. Please take note of the latest news concerning aspartame and artificial fluoridation. Thanks for your time.


Neurosurgeon Alerts Pilots to Aspartame Danger

by Dr. Russell Blaylock, Neurosurgeon

www.opednews.com

In the light of deaths of American Airline pilots who heavily used aspartame Dr. Blaylock gives this warning.

We continually receive complaints from pilots about seizures, cardiac problems, vision loss, vertigo, confusion, disorientation, etc. associated with consumption of Equal/ aspartame/NutraSweet/Spoonful/Canderel/E951, etc Aspartame is a compound of phenylalanine, aspartic acid and a methyl ester which converts to methyl alcohol in digestion: wood alcohol, 1 ounce is a fatal dose, then into formaldehyde! Mission Possible Aviation.

I have reviewed reports from airline and private pilots concerning effects of aspartame on various physiological systems. Several of these are related to the nervous system, which puts this in category of great concern to the pilot as well as the general public. The more common complaints include disorientation, difficulty thinking and concentrating, visual blurring or even monocular blindness, seizures and heart failure. It is well known that the ingredients in aspartame, as well as its breakdown products, have deleterious effects on the nervous system and retina.

For example, phenylalanine is a precursor of the catecholamine neurotransmitters in the brain and elevated levels in the brain have been associated with seizures. These catecholamines are metabolized to form other excitotoxins and peroxide products that can lead to elevated free radical formation and lipid peroxidation within neurons.

Likewise aspartic acid, an excitotoxin, acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter and can lower the seizure threshold making a seizure more likely. The additive effect of aspartic acid and phenylalanine would significantly increase the likelihood of a seizure, especially under hypoglycemic conditions. This would occur if a diet drink is substituted for a meal, or if one is on a stringent diet. It is well known that hypoglycemia greatly magnifies the excitotoxic effects of these ingredients.

The combination of hypoglycemia and aspartame would also increase the likelihood of mental confusion and disorientation. In the pilots situation, this could be disastrous. It must be recognized that pilots would also be frequently exposed to other excitotoxins, such as MSG, hydrolyzed proteins, etc, that have a synergistic effect that greatly increases the likelihood of an adverse reaction.

One of the intriguing associations with excitotoxins of all types is the occurrence of sudden death. We know that one of the primary sites of actions of these excitatory substances is the hypothalamus and that sudden cardiac death can be induced by stimulating the hypothalamus. It is entirely possible excitotoxic stimulation of these hypothalamic centers could also lead to cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death. Hypothalamic stimulation has also been shown to produce an ECG pattern exactly like that of myocardial infarction. Combinations of excitotoxins, such as aspartic acid and glutamate, great increased the risk.

Finally, a scientific study demonstrated that aspartame exposure significantly increases the level of formaldehyde in all tissue, including brain and retina and that this breakdown product of aspartame is very toxic to proteins and DNA, leading to permanent injury to these vital cellular components. Even more important, was the finding this highly toxic substance accumulates in these tissues with chronic exposure to aspartame. This could lead to significant injury to the brain, retina and other organs long after the exposure. Also, the effects appear to be dose related. That is, the more aspartame you consume, the greater the danger. It should be appreciated that formaldehyde is a powerful carcinogenic agent, (but it does get you a head start on embalming yourself).

My book, Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, explains in detail how excitotoxins damage the nervous system, leading to severe disorders, and what can be done to reduce your risk. It is my opinion that aspartame is a dangerous neurotoxin, as well as a significant carcinogen to many organs, and that it should be avoided at all cost.

Russell L Blaylock, M.D.
