A controversial new study published in Biomed Research International titled, "Methodological Issues and Evidence of Malfeasance in Research Purporting to Show Thimerosal in Vaccines Is Safe," has exposed convincing evidence of wrong-doing on the part of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in actively covering up the causal link between mercury in vaccines (Thimerosal) and harm to infants and children. According to the review, "There are over 165 studies that have focused on Thimerosal, an organic mercury (Hg) based compound, used as a preservative in many childhood vaccines, and found it to be harmful. Of these, 16 were conducted to specifically examine the ...

British scientists develop "drill-free" tooth treatment

LONDON, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Drillings and fillings at the dentist's are always dreadful and make tooth decay treatment very unpleasant. But British scientists have developed a new approach of fixing tooth decay, which could get rid of all the drillings, injections and fillings -- and unpleasantness, a press release by King's College London (KCL) said on Monday. Dentists normally treat caries in a tooth by drilling to remove the decay and filling the tooth with a material such as amalgam or composite resin. But scientists at King's College London (KCL) took a different approach, one that re-builds the tooth and heals it without the need for drills, needles or amalgam. By ...

Today I bring you irrefutable proof that the skies over our heads are being "chemtrailed" by aircraft, dispersing 571 tons of toxic lead each year into the air. This isn't some wild theory, either: it's the official number from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It turns out that aircraft are still burning leaded fuels that contain toxic lead, and this lead falls on us all: our playgrounds and schools, home gardens, commercial crop fields, rivers and more: www.naturalnews.com/04556...avy_metals_pollution.html

Vitamin C Makes a Comeback Thursday, 12 Jun 2014 06:06 PM By Charlotte Libov Vitamin C was one of the earliest supplement fads, championed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Linus Pauling in the early 1970s as a cure for ailments ranging from cancer to the common cold. However, by the ‘90s, the nutrient fell out of favor, and Pauling was accused of quackery by some mainstream doctors. By the time Pauling died in 1994 at age 93, vitamin C use was in decline. Recent science is showing that the great scientist may have been right all along.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have found that persons with lower blood levels of vitamin D were twice as likely to die prematurely as people with higher blood levels of vitamin D. The finding, published in the June 12 issue of American Journal of Public Health, was based on a systematic review of 32 previous studies that included analyses of vitamin D, blood levels and human mortality rates. The specific variant of vitamin D assessed was 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the primary form found in blood. "Three years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that having a too-low blood level of vitamin D was hazardous," said Cedric Garland, ...

WASHINGTON, June 12 (Xinhua) -- The annual excess economic burden of cancer survivorship in the United States was estimated at about 4,000 U.S. dollars per survivor, according to a study released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study, published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, analyzed data from a national survey between 2008 and 2011 to estimate annual medical costs and productivity losses among U.S. cancer survivors aged 18 years and older, and among persons without a cancer diagnosis. Lost productivity was estimated by reviewing employment disability, or being unable to work because of illness or injury, health-related ...

Aspirin for AFib When you have atrial fibrillation, your heartbeat is irregular. Blood doesn't flow as efficiently as it should and clots may form in your heart. If a clot travels to your brain, it can cause a stroke. Many people with AFib are more likely to have strokes. Aspirin may be recommended for some people with AFib who aren't treated with other blood thinners. Side effects from aspirin or blood thinners can include nosebleeds to ulcers, so talk to your doctor first. Warfarin for AFib If you have AFib your doctor will probably prescribe a more powerful blood thinner called an anticoagulant, especially if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart failure.

Tony Gibson’s Theory of School Violence

Hamilton Bertie “Tony” Gibson (1914-2001) was a British anarchist, conscientious objector (for which he was imprisoned) and psychologist. Gibson wrote Youth for Freedom (1951), a provocative pamphlet. From this work, we may extract a theory that explains school violence, which is a worldwide phenomenon and not uniquely American. Being worldwide, youth violence cannot be explained by the means of violence used, be they guns, clubs, knives, rocks, spears, fire, or whatever. The theory can be partly stated as follows. Children have certain behaviors that come naturally to them, instinctively one might say. If they are allowed to have a childhood that lets them vent and live ...

When certain populations of bacteria drop, people become more prone to disease. One of the most ...

More Evidence that Conventional Cancer Treatments Are More Deadly than Cancer

Cancer is a deadly disease—there is no denying it, but there is some controversy where conventional cancer treatments are involved, many of them suspected of being more harmful than the cancer itself. A new study from Dana Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center found that children with a certain type of brain tumor who were treated with radiation had a lower survival rate than those who weren’t, offering additional evidence that some of these treatments could do more harm than good.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In one of the most ambitious attempts yet to thwart Alzheimer's disease, a major study got underway Monday to see if an experimental drug can protect healthy seniors whose brains harbor silent signs that they're at risk. Scientists plan to eventually scan the brains of thousands of older volunteers in the U.S., Canada and Australia to find those with a sticky build-up believed to play a key role in development of Alzheimer's — the first time so many people without memory problems get the chance to learn the potentially troubling news. Having lots of that gunky protein called beta-amyloid doesn't guarantee someone will get sick. But the big ...

These investigators converted an ambulance into, essentially, a mobile stroke unit. The ambulance was staffed by a neurologist and included a portable CT scanner and a telemedicine interface. This allowed them to go into the community when there was a call about a stroke; assess the patient in the ambulance; conduct a history, physical, and CT scan; and begin therapy in the ambulance before the patient reached the emergency department.

ScienceDaily: Ischemic heart disease, a narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the heart, is a leading cause of death throughout the world. A hybrid molecular imaging technique called positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging, which tells doctors vital information about cardiac and arterial function, has been found to be an effective molecular imaging tool for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD), say researchers at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's 2014 Annual Meeting. Often patients suspected of having CAD undergo a stress test called myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to smoke out areas of arterial ischemia and risk of ...
