THE HEALTHY EATING PYRAMID: EPIDEMIOLOGY SUPPORTS THE VEGAN DIET




John Livesey PhD, Scientific Officer, Department of Endocrinology, Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand

Scientific nutrition is becoming increasingly supportive of the vegan diet and this is most evident in what is arguably the most important popular book on human nutrition for decades. Eat, Drink and be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating, the controversial book written by Walter Willett, Chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, is so important because it is based on recent discoveries in nutritional epidemiology rather than on laboratory experiments.

Vaccines and Pregnancy Do NOT Mix


Tuesday, November 17, 2009 by: Paul Fassa, citizen journalist

(NaturalNews) From an internet forum: "I got both vaccines [seasonal and swine flu] on Thursday. I was 9 weeks pregnant. I miscarried on Sunday. I was told by several doctors to get these vaccines. Now I wish I followed my gut feeling and not get them at ALL!" This is not an isolated case.

Here's another report: "I feel like I had a healthy baby and I caused this by getting the H1N1 vaccine. My doctors pushed it. I researched online and there have been many miscarriages after the H1N1 vaccine but they haven't been reported since it is hard to say what caused the miscarriages."

She researched online, the only source reporting vaccination tragedies throughout the world.

Lies Under the Light of Truth

First of all, the Swine Flu is less harmful than a normal seasonal flu. Research with ferrets, real statistics released by independent researchers, as well as reports from uncorrupted medical authorities have confirmed this. The CDC and mainstream media bury that information. Instead, they circulate alarming false swine flu statistics.


But one mainstream media outlet, CBS Washington Unplugged, did inadvertently reveal true swine flu statistics. They had tried to get information from the CDC about swine flu episodes actually confirmed. The CDC skirted the issue and stonewalled them.

So they surveyed all 50 USA state medical laboratories themselves. The results were that most states had confirmed five percent or less of reported cases as swine flu. Most labs reported half or more cases were not any kind of flu! So much for hysteria.

Dr. Michael Bronze of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, stated on WebMD that the actual risk of pregnant women getting hospitalized for swine flu infections is one in 300 thousand.

The Australian/New Zealand's flu season was surveyed by American epidemiological statisticians. The data from around the middle of that flu season indicated that pregnant women are 99.97 percent sure of avoiding hospital care for any flu.

Of those few admitted and held in ICU 7.7 percent died. Not a high figure. And even those few had other health complications prior to being infected with the swine flu.

Vaccinations Are The Real Danger.

According to Dr. Russel Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon and author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, various studies have proven that artificially stimulating the immune system causes a cytokine immune reaction that damages the forming brain of a fetus.

Throw in thimerosal mercury additives as well as formaldehyde and other toxic materials delivered in the vaccines. These circulate through the fetus if a pregnant woman is vaccinated. The child can become prone to seizures, autism, schizophrenia, and a host of other neurological problems.

There is the case of Desiree Jennings, the young Washington Redskins cheerleader who was diagnosed with dystonia by doctors at John Hopkins and Fairfax Inova. They determined her dystonia, which caused chronic severe spasms and partial paralysis, was a reaction to her seasonal flu shot.


Right, she wasn't pregnant. She was also active and healthy. But her story links the miscarriage
stories to Dr. Blaylock's conclusion, "The bottom line is vaccinating a pregnant women is vary hazardous to the mother's health as well as the baby."

As for miscarriages, there has been a history of sterilization agents planted surreptitiously in vaccines intended for women in developing countries. Some vaccines were examined and recovered before further damage could be done. More at - http://www.naturalnews.com/026907_f...

And now special flu jab centers are being set up for pregnant women here?

MANUKA HONEY Heals MRSA and more

Recently a friend told me about an acquaintence of hers who had recently returned from serving in Iraq where she caught MRSA as many in our military do.

MRSA is a virulent staph infection, that so far antibiotics can't cure, limbs are amputated, people sometimes die from it. Maybe that's why MRSA isn't talked about much.

I searched for information and found that there IS a CURE. It's important to talk about a proven treatment for these horrible ulcerations that people often continue to get once month!

This young woman was having her infections lanced - leaving her with terrible scars. MRSA is killing people and it's unfortunate that oftentimes our Western medicine closes its eyes to natural remedies

Honey has been used for centuries to heal many ailments.

Honey Therapy Could Give Diabetics Hope when Facing Possible Amputations

Manuka honey is useful for ALL wounds.








The use of honey as a wound dressing material, an ancient remedy that has been rediscovered, is becoming of increasing interest as more reports of its effectiveness are published.

CDC Reluctant to Reveal Swine Flu Statistics (VIDEO)

CDC Reluctant to Reveal Swine Flu Statistics (VIDEO)

Employees are being told they have to receive the Swine Flu vaccine or lose their jobs.

Some schools are giving children the vaccine against their parents wishes.

The reason for this is the government-declared "emergency" situation, a "pandemic" in fact, brought on by the H1N1 virus.

But CBS reveals that the federal government withheld data that contradicted their assertions -- and only released it finally after being dogged by CBS and other reporters.

What did the data show -- the data the government was so reluctant to divulge?

It shows that the vast majority of people who have been reported as having the Swine flu -- actually did not have it at all. The government's "urgent emergency" used to justify all this vaccinating -- does not appear to be borne out by reality.

Can you say "scare tactic?"

I.F. Stone once said: "All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed." He was onto something.
