Fukushima Crisis Continues: What All Preppers Should Know by Carmela Tyrell When it comes to chaotic nightmare scenario, earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear accidents easily rank at the top of just about anyone’s list. On the other hand, there is also a pervasive sense among preppers that these scenarios are not likely to happen in their area, let alone strike all at one time. Sadly, in Fukushima, Japan, all three events did happen at one time, and the long term impacts still need to be considered by everyone interested in prepping. What Is the Fukushima Nuclear Crisis About? On March 11, 2011, a major earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima, Japan, then a very powerful ...

Judy Rummler holding a picture of her sons, Steve and Jeff, at her home in Bonita Springs, Fla. Steve died of a heroin overdose after becoming addicted to OxyContin, which was prescribed for a back injury. “He didn’t understand the risks,” his mother said. Drug overdoses are driving up the death rate of young white adults in the United States to levels not seen since the end of the AIDS epidemic more than two decades ago — a turn of fortune that stands in sharp contrast to falling death rates for young blacks, a New York Times analysis of death certificates has found. The rising death rates for those young white adults, ages 25 to 34, make them the first generation ...
The Blood Pressure lie EXPOSED!

Let me guess…you’ve been told you have high blood pressure. The silent killer. With a name like that, it has to scare you. And if that’s not scary enough, you were probably told to start taking a blood pressure drug immediately. But that wasn’t all, was it? I bet you had to go and see a cardiologist next. And did the cardiologist tell you that if one drug didn’t bring your pressure down, you might have to take a second drug at the same time? Often, there’s even a third drug. I know how the system works. I’ve been fighting against it for you for almost 30 years. And I know you don’t want to be part of that group who’s taking blood pressure ...
IT's WHAT YOU EAT, STUPID! - How Did Americans Get So Fat, In Seven Charts

Americans are fat. They are so fat very few would even bother to click on a hyperlink in this article explaining how fat they are, so instead we will present an animated chart showing the severity of the US obesity problem over the past 30 years. Cartoons aside, here are the facts: today two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Half are afflicted with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that can often be prevented with better diets, but aren't and as a result debt-funded healthcare costs have exploded, and while this chronic obesity has made pharma companies richer beyond their wildest dreams, it means future US healthcare spending ...
You’re better off ignoring Uncle Sam’s ever-changing diet advice

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee — that’s the stable of government bureaucrats that’s supposed to tell all of us morons in the general public what to eat — has a record that’s less dependable than a flip-flopping career politician. Rather than getting sound advice about healthy eating, Americans have become accustomed to getting a steady diet of misleading, confusing, politically correct and downright incorrect information from our supposed betters in Washington. Of course, it isn’t just the government-paid health scolds — the nutrition industry and the medical field are fraught with confusion. Just last week, the World Health Organization ...

So what is this breakthrough of nature? This safe and natural therapy that works wonders that the world's most expensive drugs can't? Scientists call it "ethylenediaminetetracetic acid," But please don't be put off by the fancy-schmancy jargon. The rest of us refer to it with four little letters: "E-D-T-A." I've written all about it in my new Medical Briefing: Chelation: Natural Miracle For Protecting Your Heart and Enhancing Your Health. EDTA, first synthesized in Germany in 1935, is a simple amino acid, very similar in composition to common household vinegar. In medical studies, EDTA has been shown to be three times safer. In fact, EDTA is so ...

RT... An artificial pancreas may soon be as close as your smartphone, as researches prepare to begin final clinical tests for a device that would ease the burden of type 1 diabetes. The device one can automatically measure sugar levels and support insulin delivery. After 183,708 hours of clinical trials since 2008 and 20 years of research, the University of Virginia School of Medicine is bringing its brainchild to nine locations across the US and Europe to try it on 240 patients. The device’s name, “InControl,” means exactly that: it can control everything people with diabetes need and – at least currently – have to do manually. A typical diabetes routine ...

Medscape... Men should limit the amount they drink to the same maximum recommended levels as women as part of the biggest shake-up of alcohol guidelines in 20 years. The new advice does not mention 'safe’ drinking levels, but warns instead that any amount of alcohol increases the risk of getting a range of cancers. The UK's chief medical officers have admitted that the effect of alcohol on cancers was not fully understood when the previous guidelines were issued in 1995. The new version also warns about 'binge drinking', clarifies advice about the risks of drinking during pregnancy and addresses studies which have suggested that alcohol might be good for heart ...
Task Force Recommends Statins for Adults Under 75 With Risk Factors, Questions Child Screenings

ROCKVILLE, MD — Low- to moderate-dose statins should be used by patients at risk for CVD who are between the ages of 40 and 75 years, according to draft recommendation statements by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)[1]. However, current clinical evidence is not strong enough to recommend statin use in these patients who are 76 and older, it says y. The USPSTF adds that it is recommending an "I" grade for this older group, which means that patients should understand that questions remain about the potential harms and benefits of a service before it's offered by a clinician. Lack of evidence also kept the task force from recommending that ...

Lipophobia and the bad science diet This article was originally published on June 11, 2012 The most striking thing about North America’s fear of food is how markedly ideas about food’s healthfulness have changed over the years. Chemical preservatives went from being triumphs of modern science to poisons. Whole milk has swung back and forth like a pendulum. Yogurt experienced boom, bust and revival. Margarine went from “heart-healthy” to artery-clogging. And now we are told that salt, historically regarded as absolutely essential to human existence, is swinging the grim reaper’s scythe. And then there’s the story of fat. One wonders what would have happened ...

Medscape... The prevalence of neural tube defects in live and stillborn babies dropped significantly in Brazil after the introduction of mandatory folic acid and iron fortification of wheat and maize flours in 2004. In an article published in the January 2016 issue of the Bulletin of the World Health Organization, chemist Leonor Maria Pacheco Santos, PhD, from the University of Brazil's Department of Public Health in Brasilia, and colleagues found that the prevalence of neural tube defects fell in all births by 30.1%, going from 0.79 per 1000 in the prefortification period to 0.55 per 1000 after fortification (prevalence ratio prefortification, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.38 - ...

VANCOUVER, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- People hoping for a whiter, brighter smile should be careful while using teeth whitening and bleaching products as they can cause permanent dental damage, a Canadian expert said Wednesday. Bleaching products can have multiple side effects such as damaging the dental enamel, causing irritation to the gums, tooth sensitivity and more, Adriana Manso, a clinical assistant professor in the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of British Columbia in Canada's western city of Vancouver, said in a statement. She said some of these effects are lasting and the damage to the dental enamel is permanent and irreversible, adding that there is also an obvious risk of ...

BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- High cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but certain certain foods may help lower cholesterol and protect heart. Dietician Patricia Bannan, American author of "Eat Right When Time is Tight", believes one of the best foods is strawberries, which contain heart-healthy substances to inhibit cholesterol absorption. Lean beef is another food that is great for cholesterol. Eating lean beef every day could reduce bad cholesterol levels by around 10 percent, according to Bannan. In addition, green tea, flaxseed and dark chocolate are also recommended to reduce cholesterol, the author said. (Agencies) Editor: liuxin ...
Toxins in skin bacteria help lymphoma cells spread

More aggressive treatment of bacterial infections -- for which skin lymphoma patients are at higher risk -- could improve immune response to the cancer. Skin lymphomas are rare, researchers said, but the interaction between cancer and bacteria shows common infections among patients are not merely a side effect of the disease. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Researchers found a skin infection more common in lymphoma patients aids the growth and spread of the disease, according to a new study. Toxins from the staphylococcus bacteria send off signals that change the immune system, causing defensive CD4-T lymphocytes to destroy healthy cells, rather than cancer cells, aiding the ...

ScienceAlert... A survey of more than 2,000 people living in the UK has found that those with a higher IQ are more likely to live a longer life. Researchers analysed data from the Scottish Mental Surveys - in which almost every 11-year-old in Scotland was given the same IQ test on the same day in 1932 - and tracked the participants' lives up to when they passed away. Even when factors such as economic status and employment level were accounted for, the smarter kids ended up living longer than those with lower IQs. These results correlate to several previous studies that have found a link between IQ and mortality when other factors were filtered out. "Subjects who died before 1 ...

ScienceAlert... Researchers have just been granted US$16 million in funding to go towards the development of brain implants that could one day help paralysed limbs come back to life. These "bidirectional brain-computer interfaces" handle the crucial links between the brain and the spinal cord, bridging gaps caused by injury or a stroke. The miniature implants would be designed with the capability to detect the brain's intention to do something and then transfer that intention to the appropriate part of the body - a complex procedure that the able-bodied often take for granted.

RT... For many people, the idea of being awake while your skull is cut open sounds like something straight out of a horror movie. However, 37 people decided to forgo anesthetics for brain surgery and opted to receive hypnosis instead. Hypnosis in surgery is not a new concept. In 1864 a Scottish surgeon named James Esdaile reported “80 percent surgical anesthesia using hypnosis as the sole anesthetic for amputations in India,” according to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In 1957, Dr. William Saul Kroger caught the New York Time’s attention when he used hypnosis on a breast cancer patient, the Miami Herald reported. Over half of troops who suffered blast ...

The TRUTH About Carbs, Blood Sugar & Fat Loss (Eat Your Heart Out With This 45-Second Trick) By Joel Marion, CISSN You've probably heard that carbohydrates are perhaps the WORST thing you can eat when trying to lose fat or transform your body, and for most people, that's 100% true. You see, due to years of consuming a diet full of processed carbs, most people have grown VERY insensitive to one of the most important hormones in our body—a hormone that can either be a huge asset to your body transformation goals, or a total fat loss and health-derailing nightmare. The name of this hormone is insulin. And it's function is to help your body keep blood sugar at bay, ...

I did not make this video. I agree with Alex Jones that fluoride is toxic poison used purposely to dumb-down the populace. The guy who made the video is pro-fluoride, (which means he probably drank it all his life). But that is what makes this video even more ridiculous. Listen to the call. It is very funny.
