Lawyers Waiting in the Wings - Heavily Promoted Pharmaceuticals Taking Fire

The latest drug alerts to come in are on Avandia, Fosomax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, and the anti-psychotic drug, Seroquel. The ambulance chasers are burning up the internet looking for the hapless victims of these overly marketed drugs.

Avandia, an FDA approved drug for type 2 diabetes has generated a 30% to 40% increased risk of heart attack in those taking them short term (6 months). If you are taking Avandia now, discuss this with your doctor immediately. And if your doctor isn't aware of this, direct him to the FDA, which has received a pooled study from the manufacturers attesting to this.

The bisphosponates (Fosomax, Boniva, Actonel, and Reclast), increase the odds of those taking these drugs to develop atrial fibrillation. This is an erratic and sometimes life threatening heart rhythm that often produces blood clots and other complications.

And the very latest warning cites Seroguel, an anti-psychotic drug. Astra-Zeneca, the maker of the drug is currently being sued in the U.S. by nearly 10,000 users. This overly promoted drug is producing severe weight gain and diabetes.

And what is the FDA doing about all this? I'll bet you've already guessed. You're right. Nothing! Perhaps they're afraid of the American Bar Association, whose members are having a really great time with all all these lawsuits, active and pending. It seems that the FDA is afraid of everyone except us beleaguered taxpayers who have to foot the bill for their inaction anyway.

One of the sorry facts of life is that no one needs to take Fosomax or any of the other bisphosphonate drugs. There are excellent natural supplement formulations out there that work at least as well, without the formidable negative side effects. And if you think the side effects are not formidable, try getting a tooth implant after you've been on one of these bisphosphonates for a while.

CHELATION NAYSAYERS OUT IN FULL FORCE

There is a whole lot of flap going around about the worthlessness and downright danger of Chelation Therapy. Deaths attributed to chelation are cited. Ineffectiveness and downright quackery are claimed. In their desperation to discredit this safe, highly effective procedure, the conflicting commercial interests dug around until they found a case where a patient died while undergoing chelation by being administered the wrong drug! Now that is a real stretch.

What has this to do with chelation? Patients are killed in hospitals every day by being administered the wrong drug! It happens all the time, and as long as the family can be billed for it, what's the harm? Suddenly a single case out of millions makes the headlines. Any of the other arguments against chelation can be just as easily blown away like smoke in the wind.

Some government studies of chelation have recently been dropped. Why? Could it possibly be that the results were pointing the wrong way? They set out to prove that chelation was worthless and were disappointed when the data came in. Really! Would our government do that to US?

HERE'S SOMETHING INTERESTING. THE MAYO CLINIC HAS POSTED AN ARTICLE PANNING CHELATION AND ON THE SAME PAGE THEY'RE RUNNING

A BIG BANNER AD FOR - I bet you guessed it - CRESTOR!

Claims have been made that chelation can cause hypocalcemia and renal failure. True! But easily avoided. Every chelating physician knows of this and other dangers involved with IV Chelation Therapy and takes painstaking precautions to avoid any negative events. Chelating physicians are very aware that the eyes of the surgery business are upon them and any slip up will result in the wolves howling on their thresholds, demanding an end to the procedure that is keeping millions of dollars from reaching their pockets.

A good, unbiased article on chelation can be found at http://www.blueshieldca.com. They tell you what they know, which is limited. As far as it goes, the article is accurate.

One caveat! There are a lot of oral chelation products cropping up all over the place, all claiming miraculous benefits available with their use, without the need for a doctor and the inconvenience of IV infusions. On this subject we say, watch out!

One product currently being pushed is composed of 100% EDTA. This is most definitely something to keep away from unless it's been prescribed by your doctor. EDTA is nothing to fool around with on your own!

There are a lot of natural, everyday and readily available foods, vitamins, and minerals that are highly effective chelating agents, the lowly garlic being one of them. EDTA is not an absolutely necessary component for effective chelation provided you have the extra time it will take to clear your arteries. For prevention and long term clearing, given the luxury of time, it is actually best to stay away from EDTA. One product we know of that gives outstanding results and is entirely safe is a product called Cardio-Klenz, available here.

FLU SHOTS - JUST ANOTHER HOAX? Or Something More Sinister...?

The October issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine has published a study that finds the vaccinations of young children (or anyone else for that matter), against influenza "could not be verified as significant in preventing influenza in anyone regardless of age." This is in the obtuse language of the medical community in their almost pathological need to keep any useful information out of the hands of us uninitiated peasants. I do believe they'd love it if none of us were allowed to learn to read. In plain English, flu shots are worthless.

Well, maybe that's not convincing. How about this, then? There is some very credible evidence cropping up, accepted by a growing number of so called alternative physicians, that at least some cases of Alzheimer's Disease are caused by flu shots.

Flu shots contain three very potent toxins; mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde. Most flu vaccines contain 25 mcg of mercury, categorized by our sterling FDA as a "trace amount." Well, this "trace amount" is a totally unsafe amount unless you weigh 600 pounds! This is 250 times the EPA safety limit for mercury. Really makes you long for some kind of rudimentary coordination among our government bureaucracies. This stuff is a very very potent neurotoxin! Children of course, and the elderly, are most sensitive to the negative neurological affects of mercury. Any alternative physician who treats arthritis, allergies, autism, joint inflammation, and auto-immune diseases, will tell you flat out to stay away from mercury!

Just as a matter of interest, here's a list of some of the other toxic elements that the FDA classifies as being present in only "trace amounts."

• The cancer causer Formaldehyde.
• The neurotoxin Aluminum.
• A detergent labelled X-100.
• The anti-freeze Ethyline glycol.

And do take note of this: No one has ever died from influenza! It's pneumonia that kills and flu shots don't protect us from pneumonia. So, if they don't protect us from flu, and they don't protect us from pneumonia, what do they protect us from?

Still want that flu shot?

Flu Shots Mandated for...Infants?!!

Well, Big Pharma is out in force promoting their failing flu vaccine again. Last December they got New Jersey to require all kids from 6 months to 5 years to get flu shots or be barred from day care and preK programs. Now that the flu season is here again, the drug companies are bound and determined to see that their ineffective vaccines don't bomb on the market again, as they did last year.

Kids in their first year of life should not be subjected to the infusion of toxic chemicals compounded into flu vaccines, and all parents, wherever they are, should make their objections known. There's no telling when the drug companies will succeed in buying the politicos in other states. Every parent should go on record as opposing this kind of child abuse.

Currently there is a bill in the New Jersey legislature that would let parents opt their kids out of this and hopefully common sense will prevail over business interests. In and of themselves, flu shots are worthless and do more harm than good. More on this tomorrow.

CHOLESTEROL - MYTH AND MARKETING

Mommy Big Pharma is busy busy busy hustling around the media, assuring us that we're all doomed to a horrible and premature death if we fail to take her offerings of dangerous and largely ineffectual cholesterol lowering drugs. She has even gone so far as to persuade the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to recommend prescribing statins for children as young as eight! That's just incredible! How and in what manner did they manage to pay off the AAP? Where on earth is the common sense for Pete's sake? When kids are allowed to get so fat that they begin having health problems, wouldn't it be much more expedient to look at what is causing the problems in the first place - obesity - not "high cholesterol?" And anyway, in spite of what the big drug advertisers want us to believe, cholesterol never killed anybody!

We all need cholesterol; the "bad" stuff as well as the "good" stuff. Learn more about this at lequadrillage. The bare unadulterated fact is that cholesterol is cholesterol and if we have too little of it our liver will work mightily to make more of it; because cholesterol is absolutely critical to life! Take the statin Baycol for example. It worked so well in lowering cholesterol that it had to be taken off the market after killing a bunch of people.

The pharmaceuticals themselves have conducted studies concerning the efficacies of their products. What they're not telling us is that they have been unable to cite a single example of death or serious health reduction in people who had no heart problems but were taking statins anyway after having been sold on them by their doctors, who in turn had been sold on them by Mommy Big Pharma.

This is not to say that statins are totally useless. In fact, they're good drugs that have been overmarketed. Statins are very useful - and life saving - for men - for men who have already suffered a serious heart attack. For women, they're useless, as they are for anyone who has not had a heart attack.

So what to do about your "high" cholesterol? Maybe nothing. The total cholesterol number is meaningless. Get a doctor with the ability to think beyond The Physician's Desk Reference. Having trouble finding one? You can get help at LeQuadrillage. Maybe it is advisable to bring your cholesterol into balance. Again, you can learn more at LeQuadrillage, where unbiased, well researched and documented information is freely available. At the very least, you can get enough information here to enable you to pose probing questions to your doctor.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

If you're an expert in chemistry and biology, you pretty well understand the best ways of ways of taking your vitamins and supplements for maximum benefit. The rest of us don't have a clue. We just go ahead and throw them down without regard for when, how, and with what.

And that's a big mistake. By doing this we're in all likelyhood neutralizing their effectiveness big time and throwing our money away in bucketfulls by our thoughtless practice of:

• Taking them at the wrong times.
• Taking them all together with each other.
• Failing to "take a break" from them at appropriate intervals.

Let's take a look at what happens when we take a tablet, capsule, or liquid:

1. The active ingredients are released into the stomach.
2. The stomach acids attack the ingredients and break them into smaller particles.
3. Here, depending on the active ingredient, the majority of it is destroyed by the stomach acids. It's true that some ingredients can withstand this attack. Can you decide which?
4. A feeling of discomfort can be readily ascribed to this process of ingredient attack in the stomach.
5. The remaining ingredients, or the parts of them that are not destroyed, continue on to the small intestine where they go through the absorption process via the walls of the upper intestine.
6. Poor quality tablets full of cheap binders may pass through both the stomach and the intestine and exit the body with virtually no absorption at all. Your money gets processed by your town's sewage system.

So what to do? Well, you can get the counsel and guidance of a Naturopath, or you can find a supplement manufacturer who addresses this problem.

That's what we did. We looked for all the supplement manufacturers who were aware of, and actually did something about the problem.

And we looked. We looked some more. We looked again. We kept on looking.

BY GOLLY, WE FOUND ONE!

There is a little known New Zealand manufacturer who's products routinely and consistently exceed all USFDA standards. Here you can find products that aren't available anywhere else in the world. Here you can find supplements that sometimes actually cure, often control, and almost always relieve, all manner of ailments.

Besides the well thought out and researched content and formulation of their supplements, this manufacturer has borrowed a page from the pharmaceutical industry and applied an enteric coating to the critical components of their supplements. This is the only supplement manufacturer in the world who does this! Now you can get full benefit from these supplements, whenever you take them and regardless of the conditions under which you take them.

The enteric coating does not allow disintegration of the tablet for more than two hours in the stomach, yet it permits total disintegration within twelve minutes after reaching the upper intestine (duodenum), assuring total absorption of the active ingredients. And that's what makes their products work!

If you're concerned about...

• Aging
• Anxiety
• Arthritis
• Arterial Blockage
• Cholesterol
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Hair, Nails, & Skin
• Insomnia
• Low Energy
• Memory Loss & Poor Concentration
• Osteoporosis
• Sexual Disfunction
• Stress

...then you've found your answer here.

This company can be reached right from here. They're certainly worth a visit. You won't find any hype or hard sell. Just plain, honest information about the finest supplements on the planet.

BIG PHARMA HAS THE FDA IN ITS POCKET

They can't find the source of a tomato contamination that has sickened hundreds of people across the country, but they're very adept at restricting the use of safe and effective treatments for a host of illnesses if they prove to be against the best (read fiduciary) interests of the big pharmaceuticals.

Asleep and impotent to find the source of a real problem, the FDA was briefly aroused from its stupor by a "citizen's petition" filed by none other than the giant Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, who see lost profits when women chose to use BHRT (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy)
in place of their own somewhat less than harmless product. They've gone ahead and placed a ban on its use, saying in effect, that a woman and her doctor do not have the right to choose any treatment unless a big pharmaceutical company holds a patent on it!

When Your Doctor Says "ByPass Surgery"...RUN!

Every year, 800,000 people in the United States die from atherosclerosis and its complications, in spite of all the high technology hospital and surgical care available. The deadly and undeniable fact is that, in most cases, surgery won't actually save or extend your life. There is no real evidence that surgery extends your life span beyond the time you would have normally survived. It's a great way for a surgeon to make a buck and the surgery business has no interest in giving you any information regarding the very effective alternatives out there. In the old days, before bypass surgery, savvy doctors would put their patients on a straight rice diet, supplemented with lots of garlic. Not an interesting diet and not beneficial for your social life, but over time this worked to clear your arteries and restore normal blood flow to those who had the fortitude to stick with it for a couple of years.

Today there's a better way, and it's been around for about 30 years, vigorously opposed by the entrenched mainstreamers who don't really want to actually cure anyone and lose a patient in the process. Chelation Therapy is an up and coming treatment protocol today in spite of the vigorous and unrelenting opposition of the conventional clique. I've had it and had my severely clogged arteries cleared five years ago. My wife preceded me in this by fifteen years when her carotid arteries were found to be over 90% obstructed.
