The Key to Disease Prevention is a Life Miracle: Vitamin D

How Hard is it to Spell ‘D’?

February 2, 2010

According to a paper in the current British Medical Journal, “more than 50% of the adult population (in Great Britain) had insufficient levels of vitamin D and 16% had severe deficiency during winter and spring”. Another recent study found that an alarming 69 percent of pregnant women (and 78 percent of women who aren’t pregnant) are vitamin-D deficient. Indeed, it is estimated that 77 percent of the U.S. population suffers from vitamin D deficiency.

This is a matter of urgent concern, given that 17 different cancers have been linked, at least in part, to vitamin-D deficiency (the lower one’s vitamin-D status, for example, the higher the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.) Vitamin-D deficiency is also associated with strokes, asthma, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, bone disorders, chronic pain, unsteadiness, poor balance and weakened immunity. Vitamin-D deficiency has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease among American children.

John Jacob Cannell, MD, of the Vitamin D Council, cites the connection between vitamin-D deficiency and influenza infection. According to Cannell, the majority of in-patients are vitamin D deficient.

Way back in 2003, the journal Clinical Epidemiology called vitamin-D deficiency an unnecessary pandemic. So why are public-health officials not jumping on the crisis and its remedy?

Time Magazine on Sustainable Farming vs. Health Hazard Farming

11. September 2009 by HealingMindN.

A recent cover story in Time magazine says it’s time to shift our food production system to a smarter, greener model that protects our soil, air, and water and safeguards the health of consumers.

As the message becomes mainstream, it builds momentum for a transition away from outdated industrial agriculture methods toward modern organic and pasture-raised farming. The magazine paints a picture of a better system that Americans can support through their purchasing decisions, but which will also require policy changes to keep antibiotics working (such as the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act) and an overhaul of the flawed subsidy system that props up CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations). Read the article in Time: Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food.

You ever hear the saying, “I just want to eat the burger, I don’t want to meet the animal…” In the Time Article, you get to read about the animals and the waste products produced by unsustainable farming practices. If you’re a filthy person or if you’re into horror movies full of torture, then you will probably love the graphic descriptions of chronic filthiness. Some people love squalor (but they also belong in the crazy house).

Have you ever seen these horror films? The murder suspects always live in filth and love to torture living creatures in the same squalor? Those are the conditions of industrial farms. These same bioterrorists also try to redefine the meaning of “sustainable” and “organic.”

What? You say you have a brother like that? Well, you can always get help from your local EFT practitioner; they have great success with all kinds of personality disorders. Or you can call the police; they’re just three numbers away on the phone. Let them be the judge - unless they work for the terrorists.

As for health hazard, squalor farming, you can still do an end run around them by shopping at your local Farmer’s Market. Google “farmers market” + your zip code. Easy. If you’re into healthy, sustainable, organic farming, then please visit the article on how to make your own Mineralized Organic Superfoods.

Thanks for your time,

Health Ills Abound as Farm Runoff Fouls Wells

(NY Times excerpt, September 17, 2009)

..In measured amounts, that waste acts as fertilizer. But if the amounts are excessive, bacteria and chemicals can flow into the ground and contaminate residents’ tap water.

In Morrison, more than 100 wells were polluted by agricultural runoff within a few months, according to local officials. As parasites and bacteria seeped into drinking water, residents suffered from chronic diarrhea, stomach illnesses and severe ear infections.

“Sometimes it smells like a barn coming out of the faucet,” said Lisa Barnard, who lives a few towns over, and just 15 miles from the city of Green Bay.

Tests of her water showed it contained E. coli, coliform bacteria and other contaminants found in manure. Last year, her 5-year-old son developed ear infections that eventually required an operation. Her doctor told her they were most likely caused by bathing in polluted water, she said…

And regulations passed during the administration of President George W. Bush allow many of those farms to self-certify that they will not pollute, and thereby largely escape regulation…

..But Congress has not created many new rules on the topic and, as a result, officials say their powers remain limited…

Can someone please tell me if there is an article in the U.S. Constitution that prevents a physical clear and present danger to American Citizens? I can only find the “verbal” clear and present danger clause in the first amendment. Thanks in advance.

Cognizin® May Improve Brain Health

06/15/2009

Are you finding it harder to remember things these days? If so, our Cognizin Citicoline can help.

Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, Ph.D., director of the Cognitive Neuroimaging and Neuropsychology Laboratories at the McLean Hospital Brain Imaging Center and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School presented “Oral Cognizin® Citicoline Supplementation Increases Brain Cellular Bioenergetics” at the International Society of Sports Nutrition Annual Conference in New Orleans on Tuesday, June 16.

Cognizin brand Citicoline is a natural water-soluble compound that enhances communication between neurons in the brain to support visual function and protect neural structures from free radical damage. New research from Harvard shows Citicoline increases energy (ATP) levels in the brain, increasing one’s ability to focus, concentrate and generally be more productive.

A nutritional breakthrough for staving off age-related cognitive decline, Cognizin is a patented, proprietary form of the B vitamin citicoline with targeted action for increasing the synthesis of phospholipids that make up brain cell membranes and for enhancing production of vital neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, including acetylcholine, noradrenaline and dopamine.

A revolutionary alternative to phosphatidylcholine, Cognizin Citicoline has been shown to improve memory and verbal learning abilities in numerous studies conducted at some of the world’s most prestigious research institutions, including Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The most recent trial studied the effect of Cognizin on healthy middle-aged adults. Using the latest brain scanning technology, Yurgelun-Todd and her team of researchers at the Harvard-associated Brain Imaging Center at McLean Hospital in Boston, observed increases in brain activity among people who had taken Cognizin brand Citicoline for six weeks, particularly when individuals performed tasks that required sustained attention or memory (University Students Rejoice!).

Because Cognizin helps make more energy available to brain cells they are better able to perform their daily tasks. Cell membranes are synthesized and maintained. Vital brain nutrients are produced and electrical impulses are generated.

Make Cognizin Citicoline part of your daily nutritional regimen and give your brain the fuel it needs for peak performance.

Pulse of Health Freedom: FDA Special Interests

16. March 2009 by HealingMindN.

On the heels of Howard Stern’s admission of drug abuse with fatal results upon Anna Nicole Smith and her teenage son, we have to examine the agency which is allowing prescription drug abuse on every American, not only celebrities. We also have to examine them for their attack on nutritional supplements and essential nutrients which have only been instrumental in helping people regain their health and as a prophylaxis against disease.

Government “Watchdog” Agency Urges More Oversight of Supplements by FDA

Last week, the Government Accountability Office released a report on dietary supplements. They called for the Food and Drug Administration to monitor supplements more closely and require increased adverse event reporting. The report has spawned discussion about possible new congressional legislation from supplement critics.

Supreme Court Allows Juries to Award Damages for Unsafe Drug Injuries

The Supreme Court struck a blow to the pharmaceutical industry recently when they ruled that litigants may sue for damages if they are harmed by unsafe drugs—even if the drug manufacturers have satisfied federal regulators. Justice Stevens, writing for the majority, said that allowing such lawsuits “provides incentives for drug manufacturers to disclose safety risks promptly.”

Harvard Medical School Finally Concerned About Drug Company Influence On Campus

Students at Harvard Medical School are spearheading a campaign to expose and curtail pharmaceutical industry influence in their classrooms and laboratories. They are concerned that the same money that helped build the school’s world-class status may in fact be hurting its reputation and affecting its teaching.

Vitamin C Cancer Use Attacked

A study that said vitamin C reduces the benefits of chemotherapy has come under fire. The study’s procedures were faulty, say critics, and vitamin C’s use should be encouraged during chemotherapy because it protects healthy cells from damage, promotes wound healing, increases tissue resistance to tumor spread, and may even help bring about tumor cell death.

American Association for Health Freedom Needs Your Support to End the FDA’s Censorship of Scientific Information

Did you know that the FDA currently outlaws any reference to a scientific study relating to the health effects of a food or food supplement by any seller of that food and food supplement? This censoring of science inhibits food and food supplement producers from informing the public about the real value of their products. It also inhibits consumers from making fully informed decisions about their health.

That is why AAHF has drafted the ‘Free Speech About Science Act’, to end the FDA’s censorship of scientific information. We need your help in securing a Congressional sponsor for this legislation, which is why we are asking you to sign a petition in support of the ‘Free Speech About Science Act’. Collecting these petitions will allow us to gain early support so that when we ask members of Congress to sponsor this legislation, we will be able to point to the number of their constituents who already support this Bill.

We are seeking early support for this legislation from the residents of California, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Utah. Constituents from these states are highly influential because their state either has a high number of fruit producers, a high number of food supplement companies, and/or their congressperson sits on a key committee.

Propaganda: “Vitamin Pills Don’t Help” (cancer)

11. February 2009 by HealingMindN.

Here is the original article as I saw it in my local newspaper:

Vitamin Pills Don’t Help

They don’t curb cancer, heart risk

The largest study ever of mult-vitamin use in older women found they did nothing to prevent common cancers or heart disease.

The eight-year study in 161,808 postmenopausal women echoes recent disappointing vitamin studies in men.

Millions of Americans spend billions of dollars on vitamins to boost their health. Research has focused on cancer and heart disease in particular becaue of evidence that diets full of vitamin-rich foods may protect against those illnesses. But that evidence doesn’t necessarily mean pills are a good substitute.

The study’s lead author, researcher Marian Neuhouser of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, advised: “Get nutrients from food. Whole foods are better than dietary supplements.”

The study appears in yesterday’s Archives of Internal Medicine.

This is the article as it appears in most hard print periodicals. This is not the complete article. BUT, because hard print periodical publishers realise that their average readership has an attention span of only a few seconds per article, they probably figured that they would only provide the “essentials” - namely the headlines.

In essence, this is most likely propaganda by the big pharma against essential nutrients. In fact, this article is experiencing a big national wave across local newspapers and the web with several different incarnations.

Here’s the rest of the article excerted from CBS News:

Co-author Dr. JoAnn Manson said despite the disappointing results, the research doesn’t mean multivitamins are useless.

For one thing, the data are observational, not the most rigorous kind of scientific research. And also, it’s not clear if taking vitamins might help prevent cancers that take many years to develop, said Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard’s Brigham & Women’s Hospital.

She said multivitamins still may be useful “as a form of insurance” for people with poor eating habits.

The study involved an analysis of data on women in their 50s and up who participated in long-running government studies on postmenopausal women. Almost 42 percent of the women said they used multivitamins regularly.

After about eight years, roughly equal numbers of vitamin users and nonusers developed common cancers, heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems. Overall, there were 9,619 cases of cancer, including cancers of the breast, lung, ovary, colon and stomach; and 8,751 cardiovascular ailments including heart attacks and strokes. In addition, 9,865 women died, also at similar rates in multivitamin users and nonusers.

 

Get nutrients from food. Whole foods are better than dietary supplements.

 

Marian Neuhouser, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

 

Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition professor who was not involved in the research, said the study is important because it involved so many women.

“All the evidence keeps pointing in the same direction,” Lichtenstein said.

Eric Jacobs, an American Cancer Society epidemiologist, said while his group doesn’t advise vitamins to prevent cancer, it does recommend maintaining a healthy weight and eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily while limiting red meat. Similar habits are also thought to help reduce heart disease risks.

As you see there was a different title and subheading here. When you look for this article under “Marian Neuhouser of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center,” you’re going to find a number of different incarnations of the same information. It’s like the publishers want to drill the same information into the public mind in as many ways as possible.

Here’s one more example from PhysOrg where I made a comment. PhysOrg offered the most scientific incarnation, which I appreciate, but it still has the same failings as all the others:

• What kind of multivitamins were that 42% taking? For what purpose? How often?
• What kind of lifestyle including diet do those women have? Were they active? Docile?
• What are their family health histories? Their predispositions to disease?
• Are any of their working/living conditions carcinogenic in nature?
• Most important, what current drug prescriptions/medical therapies were they concurrently undergoing?

The reason I push essential nutrients for people who take regular prescription drugs is that drugs deplete essential nutrients in the body.

For example, statins deplete Coenzyme Q10, especially in elderly people who tend to experience CoQ10 depletions.

Pain killers destroy B vitamin, folic acid.

Vitamins are building blocks for the body. True: Whole foods are better than synthetic vitamins, but how many of us are educated about whole foods? And what is a “whole food” according to Marian Neuhouser?

I try to educate people on what a whole food is and how to grow your own at Mineralized Organic Superfoods. Here’s my question: Is Marian telling people that whole foods are better under the assumption that most people know what “whole foods” are?

Let’s ask our selves these important questions. How much of the general public is well educated in:

• Leading a healthy lifestyle?
• How to recognise and buy whole foods?
• Knowing which vitamins to use?
• Knowing what constitutes a health hazard?

Considering the unfortunate state of the greedy mainstream food industry, it’s very difficult for people to get their hands on whole foods. The mainstream food industry is NOT producing whole foods. The organic farmers who choose not to work with genetically modified organisms are slowly but surely getting squeezed off their farms or are forced to work with GMOs because of frivolous GMO lawsuits by Monsanto.

It’s simply too difficult for most people to get their hands on whole foods, unless they grow their own. This is the reason we take vitamins today, to make up for the depletion of vitamins and minerals in today’s food supply.

The truth is vitamins were discovered as being vital to the bodie’s functions and immune system. Here’s an excerpt from How Vitamins were Discovered:

..By the early 1900’s several teams of scientists were “hot on the trail” of the mysterious anti–scurvy substance. In 1931, a concentrate was made from lemon juice that was 20,000 times as potent as the original juice! Now came an intensive effort to discern the exact nature of this vital compound. Once its molecular “chain” or structure was determined, it could be synthesized and mass–produced. And so it happened that by 1935 vitamin C ( also properly named ascorbic acid ) became the first “pure” vitamin made available to the public through large–scale production…

You will see many studies at this page, real scientific studies that discuss the importance of our most common essential nutrients and the way they were derived.

When I see something like this “Vitamin Pills Don’t Help” propaganda, it’s like they’re trying to reverse the laws of nature. I find this mainstream scientific cretinism very disturbing and distressing.

I can guarantee you that the proliferation of “Vitamin Pills Don’t Help” is nothing but propaganda because it takes advantage of people’s short attention spans, it does not seek to educate, but proliferate rumors, and it only furthers the agenda of big pharma for the push of Codex Alimentarius which would have the debilitating effect of relegating vitamins to pitiful doctor’s prescriptions if not pitifully small dosages over the counter.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center should only be about cancer research - not creating rumors about essential nutrients. Guess what? There are cures for cancer. Vitamins are a good prophylaxis, but cancer is highly individual. There has never been a guarantee that vitamins prevent cancer.

Maybe some news program or doctor convinced you that someday there will be a drug oriented panacea for cancer. Impossible; it’s a mystical pipe dream. Unless we are talking about a public source of carcinogens that affect the living body the same way, cancer is highly individual. This means we have to destroy the cancer according to the kind of cancer the person is experiencing.

The Real Cure to Cancer

One doctor discovered a way to kill cancer cells non-invasively, decades ago. His name was Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. He worked with a number of doctors who helped him to verify his research.

Dr. Rife first used monochromatic light in something he called an ultramicroscope. This amazing microscope, which took all day to calibrate, could magnify a living object 60,000X. This is in direct opposition to electron microscopes which requires the sample to be dead to work.

It turns out that monochromatic light not only revealed living cultures at 60,000X that could not be seen under conventional microscopes, monochromatic light was also capable of killing these same cultures.

From monochromatic light, Dr. Rife proceeded to build a plasma wave device that could emit single, square wave frequencies in the mega-hertz region. It turns out that the plasma wave device had the same effect on his culture samples as the monochromatic sources of light. Fancy that.

This means that Dr. Rife discovered a non invasive form of energy that could be used to kill all kinds of bacteria including cancer cells.

You can read more about Dr. Rife’s Work at the following articles:

Royal Rife Short Biography

Short Bio on Royal Raymond Rife explains why energy oriented medicine and their researchers are segregated from a morally corrupt society…

Rife Ultra Microscope: Bacteria Chronicles

Royal Rife and colleagues utilizing his ultra microscope made revolutionary discoveries in bacteriology…

In fact, if you’d like to experiment using Rife Technology, the equipment is still noninvasive, but more advance. Future Tech even has a device that delivers eight frequencies at once, to save time. You lay on it, so it’s not going to mess with the FCC standards or anyone’s radio/TV. Check it out:

Addendum:

Cocktail of five vitamins may give cancer patients an extra two years

By Jenny Hope
Last updated at 4:37 PM on 16th February 2010

Cancer patients with terminal disease who take a daily cocktail of vitamins could extend their lives by two years or even longer, claim researchers.

Three out of four in a pilot study survived an average of five months longer than the expected one year, and some were still alive three years after treatment started…

Dr Bob Lister, co-author of the study by British and Danish researchers, said the results were similar to the survival gains from new drugs and in some cases better.

But the important difference was there were no side effects reported by patients taking vitamins, he said.

Dr Lister, chairman of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition at London Metropolitan University, said: ‘We believe these results are meaningful and justify trying to get backing for a proper clinical trial.

‘People with cancer are constantly asking what can we do, not necessarily to beat the cancer but to have a better quality of life whatever the length of survival.

‘Most importantly, taking these supplements is extremely safe, and there were no adverse reactions among the patients…’

During the nine-year period, the patients were treated with coenzyme Q10 - a vitamin-like compound-essential for producing energy made naturally in the body - and six other antioxidants including vitamins A, C and E, selenium, folic acid, and beta carotene (which was not given to lung cancer patients for safety reasons)…

‘Until we know for sure, our advice is to try to get the vitamins you need through a balanced and varied diet rather than through vitamin supplements.’

Unfortunately, most people are not educated on what “balanced and varied” means. Only holistic doctors and nutritionists are interested in educating people about proper diets. For the most part, this means YOU have to educate yourself. Fortunately, the altruistic doctors put their research on the web for our convenience. If you believe in free access to health supplements, then please visit Nutrition Spectrum for quintessential deals and information on essential nutrients.

Modafinil and Higher Learning Don’t Mix

18. January 2009 by HealingMindN.

I know what you’re going to say, “Everybody does it… If you don’t do it, you’re not with it… Everyone needs a pick me up…” on and on and on. Why don’t you admit it? You’re taking drugs to keep you on track because this is all you know. Drugs is all your peers know. And your so-called teachers don’t really care how you keep up with your studies, just “Keep it up, or FAIL!”

Here’s a little article on modafinil that alerts us to the harsh realities of “higher learning:”

Students and academics turn to drugs

More people use cognitive-enhancing drugs to cope with busy lives, says journal study

With the ever increasing pace of everyday life, more people are turning to cognitive enhancing drugs to stay on top, according to a report in a scientific journal.

The controversial report, published in Nature last month, spoke of the widening use of drugs such as Ritalin, Adderal and Modafinil amongst sportsmen, students and academics.

In an informal survey, Barbara Sahakian, professor of neuropsychology at Cambridge and author of the report, found a number of colleagues to be using Modafinil as a means of fighting off jet lag, improving their academic performance and aiding their social ease at parties.

Modafinil is generally prescribed to counter the symptoms of Narcolepsy. When taken by otherwise healthy people, it is also found to stave off fatigue and improve concentration and short-term memory.

The drug is only available on prescription, though it can be bought online. Its use without a prescription is illegal.
It has become the favourite of academics because the side effects are relatively mild when compared with other “smart” drugs.

Side effects include the occasional headache, the odd bout of diarrhoea, a touch of nausea perhaps; not particularly ailments you want to get at a party, but nonetheless gentle compared with the potential heart problems, strokes or tumours that can occur from drugs like Ritalin.

As a relatively new drug, approved in the UK in 2002, the long-term effects of Modafinil are still unknown. The drug is stocked by the army to keep combat troops alert.

One Robinson student, who wished to remain anonymous, told Varsity: “I’ve tried Modafinil a couple of times. With the Cambridge workload I frequently have to stay up until the early hours to reach deadlines.

“It definitely made me focus on what I was doing but I don’t think my essay was any the better for it.”

The report has sparked a debate as to whether the drug should be made available over-the-counter.

The director of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation at the University of Manchester, John Harris, has said that the government should “seriously consider” making such drugs available to students without a prescription.

By Rachel Stratton

Posted on Friday 16 January 2009 at Varsity, independent Cambridge Student Newspaper.

Can I take a moment with you? I want to tell you how disappointed I am that this entire system of higher learning is suffering from scientific cretinism. Are we so backwards as a race that these officials of higher learning want to get generations of people hooked on drugs?

What are the alternatives? What are the alternatives? OK. Since you’re here, you obviously want to learn. If school counselors really cared about kids’ health and well being, they would recommend natural alternatives to increase attention, focus, and learning capabilities. They would not recommend drugs that cause the odd bout of diarrhoea, nausea, potential heart problems, strokes, tumours, or any other side effects.

Please have a look at the Nutrition Spectrum Site. Here, you will find articles on brain solutions - 11 steps to a better brain and Ear Solutions because it turns out that these solutions also work to increase the capacity of the brain. All the solutions at Nutrition Spectrum are essential nutrients with no side effects. There are more energetic solutions available through Bioenergetic Spectrum, but the essential nutrients are most practical for students since they tend to be strapped for cash.

There are also other solutions like acupressure which you can apply to yourself any time. One in particular that can be used is pericardium 8 on either hand which I discuss at Keys to Qigong. You can also see me in the video below where I utilise pericardium 8 to help induce focus in my audience:

---

Yet another energy exercise that I remember from Stewart Swerdlow’s Healer’s Handbook is to form a cone with all the fingers one hand, then hold the point of this “cone” against the base of your skull with deep breaths. This exercise helps balance and focus energies at your optical cortex to help you focus and stay awake.

I hope this helps you and your friends to stay away from drugs. I don’t want to see us turn into a THX1138 society.

Important Energy Nutrient: Co Enzyme Q10

15. December 2008 by HealingMindN.

The following extract is from one of the best research papers I’ve seen on the bioenergetics of Co Q10. Not enough mainstream doctors are realising the benefits of Co Q10 (or any other essential nutrient for that matter) because they are mainly educated by the drug companies. Please have a look at Co enzyme Q10 Very Essential for Healthy way of Living:

Evidence is accumulating for a role of CoQ10 in the treatment of mitochondrial disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A number of case reports suggest a beneficial effect of supplemental CoQ in patients with known mitochondrial disorders. Perhaps the strongest evidence for a beneficial effect of CoQ supplements comes, however, from animal studies. Oral administration of CoQ10 produces dose-dependent neuroprotective effects against lesions produced by mitochondrial toxins. CoQ10 also protects against 1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) toxicity in mice. Furthermore, CoQ10 supplementation exerts neuroprotective effects in transgenic mouse models of familial ALS and Parkinson’s disease. The potential efficacy of CoQ10 in Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease is currently being evaluated in human clinical trials…

Some people might say, “Well, this only applies to animals because they’re only testing animals.” These animals have the same basic organ functionss we do. They live on the same planet as we do breathing the same air and pretty much eating the same food. You can also find clinical evidence of the human benefits through the paper at Co Enzyme Q10: Bioenergy Synopsis.

All you have to do is ask your doctor about essential nutrients as opposed to drugs to find out what kind of person is “taking care of” your health. Please visit the Co Enzyme Q10: Bioenergy Synopsis to learn more about why this natural nutrient is necessary. When we get older, we make less Co Q10 in our bodies, so we get tired easier. This means older people need more Co Q10. Please look up the important facts for yourself.

Thanks for visiting! Happy Holidays!

Randolph, HealingMindN Medicine Man

- Coenzyme Q10 is present throughout the human body. It aids metabolic reactions, such as the transformation of food into ATP, the energy used by the body. Cell mitochondria (the part of cells where energy is produced) show the greatest concentration of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Similarly, organs that contain higher …

Stop the FDA Witch Hunt

13. November 2008 by HealingMindN.

Petition to Reform the FDA

The American Association for Health Freedom (AAHF) is leading a campaign to reform the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We ask you to join with us in signing the Reform FDA Petition presented below. This petition will be delivered to Congress.

Late last year, the US government released a 60 page report entitled: FDA Science and Mission at Risk. A more honest title would have been: FDA Science and Mission in Shambles.

Apart from its title, however, the report was forthright. Here are a few direct quotes from the table of contents:

• Major finding: “The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific base… is weak….”
• Major Finding: “The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific workforce does not have sufficient capacity and capability.”
• Finding: “FDA does not have the capacity to ensure the safety of food for the nation.”
• Finding: “The development of medical products based on ‘new science’ cannot adequately be regulated by the FDA.”

These failures affect the health of all Americans. Good drugs are not approved or approved after interminable delays. Even after new drugs are shown to be safe, doctors cannot use them with terminally ill patients whose cases are otherwise hopeless. Bad drugs are approved — often on the basis of a recommendation by panels whose members include drug company consultants…

Read the rest of the petition at ReformFDA.org and please sign for your health and the health of your loved ones.

Thanks in advance,

Randolph, HealingMindN

P.S. The number of signers continues to grow each week. Your willingness to take a stand on this crucial issue along with others can make all the difference in our efforts to reach Congress and persuade it to take strong action without delay.

Elected officials and government agencies know that numbers matter. When the public is aroused and demands action, Congressional action usually follows.

The FDA is a broken agency that censors medical science, obstructs innovation, and protects the medical monopolies that pay for much of its budget.

Even while the FDA is approving faulty and dangerous drugs and medical devices by the thousands, it continues what can only be described as a harassment campaign against those who want to rely on wholesome foods, dietary supplements, and lifestyle changes to achieve natural good health.

Here are just a few recent examples:

□ FDA employees recently protested in a letter to Congress that they have been forced to approve medical devices against their better judgment. The letter stated that FDA managers “ordered, intimidated and coerced FDA experts to modify their scientific reviews, conclusions and recommendations in violation of the law.” The devices that FDA regulates impact more than 500 million adult and pediatric procedures performed every year in the U.S.

□ The FDA’s current efforts to reinterpret and thus amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act threaten continued access to dietary supplements. If the FDA got its way, a food constituent studied for medical use (and published) could thereafter not be used as a new supplement. To illustrate how this might work, one company’s fish oil is now an approved drug, and by this definition any new supplement with fish oil added might be prohibited. AAHF provided formal comments in response to the FDA’s deliberation process and explained why current law prohibits the FDA from adopting these anti-supplement regulations.

The FDA approves toxic chemicals for use in baby formula, baby bottles, and prescription drugs.

□ The FDA stated that no amount of melamine was safe in infant formula. Then melamine was found in formula at levels below 1 ppm. Suddenly the agency reversed itself and stated that melamine was safe provided that (coincidentally) there was no more than 1ppm. Was there a new study or other science to justify this claim? No. It appears to have been made up out of thin air in order to protect commercial interests. Melamine is a toxic chemical that has been linked to kidney damage and children are especially vulnerable.

□ The FDA recently declared Bisphenol a (BPA) exposure to be safe for infants, even though Canada has banned the chemical from baby bottles. Thirty-six scientific advisers on an independent government panel concluded that the draft decision of the FDA on BPA used “unacceptable criteria for selecting data and depend(ed) heavily upon a key paper that is fatally flawed.” These experts concluded that the FDA chose industry-funded research studies and appeared to ignore hundreds of studies that have been funded by NIH (National Institute for Health) and its counterpart in other countries. BPA is linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver enzyme abnormalities. In addition to being used in baby bottles, it is also used in water bottles, canned goods, dental fillings, children’s teeth sealants, and orthodontic sealants.

□ The FDA has approved the use of phthalates in prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications despite the fact that Congress banned phthalates in toys and other children’s products. Widely used as plasticizers, phthalates have been linked to abnormal reproductive organs, sperm damage, and reduced testosterone in animal tests as well as some human studies.

The epidemics currently plaguing this country– cancer, obesity, diabetes, asthma and allergies, and many other debilitating disorders– are linked to manmade products and processes that the FDA has approved and promoted. These failures have resulted in the sickest generation in the history of this country. The agency seems to have lost sight of its mandate to protect the public and has instead come to see itself as the guardian of corporate interests. It is time to end the many conflicts of interest linking the FDA to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, conflicts of interest that betray the public and harm so many American consumers. It is time to reform the FDA!

Spread the word. Together, we can make a difference. We can turn the FDA around and help restore our national health. Please share this update with friends and family and ask them to sign AAHF’s petition at Reformfda.org.
