Okay take a look at this statement straight from the CDC website:

In June 2001, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) made recommendations for using smallpox (vaccinia) vaccine to protect persons working with orthopoxviruses and to prepare for and respond to a possible terrorist attack involving smallpox (Source)

Two things to notice here:

1. Look at the date of the recommendation.
2. Look at why they’re recommending a smallpox vaccine.

Questions for you to answer:

1. When was the World Trade Center attacked?  (Answer: September 11, 2001)
2. When was there ever a bio-terrorist attack?  (Answer: Never)
3. If President Bush set aside $509 million for smallpox vaccine production, but people never got the vaccine, where did all the money go?  (It’s been estimated that it would actually cost $1 Billion, and who’s paying for that?  Yes…you the taxpayer).

Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way…without any smallpox or anthrax outbreaks (except the imaginary threats portrayed by the media)…let’s jump into the next money maker “Swine Flu.”

Most people aren’t even aware that Swine Flu is not a “new” thing (I was one of them, until I did the research).  The media portrays this virus as the new superstar alongside what Kanye West is stirring up.  And people bite.  With words such as “Pandemic” and “Outbreak” how can it not get your attention right?  But what the media isn’t coughing up is the 1976 accounts of the swine flu.  Yup, same thing happened back then and we’re going through it all over again, with the exact same reactions.

Let me summarize what played out back then:

• A soldier at Fort Dix was diagnosed with the flu of H1N1 strain.
• NIH told the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) and they planned a mass “vaccination” program.
• The government allocated $137 million for the production of a vaccine.
• The vaccine manufacturers made one request: that the federal government indemnify them against claims of adverse reactions as a requirement for release of the vaccines
• August 2, 1976 – a few men at the American Legion in Philadelphia died from “flu-like” symptoms, but was later discovered they had contracted “Legionnaire’s disease.”  But since the swine flu scare was going around, the media quickly portrayed it to be linked.  Mass hysteria continued.
• Vaccinations commenced
• Reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome from the vaccination surfaces, approximately 565 cases noted and 25 who died.  (I know of a patient who’s family member was affected by this).
• Vaccinations halted after 10 weeks

Here’s a quote that was stated in Reuter’s Health section:

Tests show the swine flu vaccine closely matches the H1N1 virus, which suggests it will protect people well. Children also respond to the vaccine just as they do the seasonal flu, meaning those over 10 need one shot while children 9 and under need two.

Did that say “closely” matches?  Let me let you in on a little immunology secret…your immune system doesn’t function on closely matching in order to be effective.  It’s sort of like a lock & key mechanism…the lock doesn’t open if the key “closely” matches.  It just doesn’t.  The article also states:

Swine flu is already widespread in 21 U.S. states. But the virus so far is proving to be milder than expected, with a death rate similar to that of seasonal flu.

If the death rate is similar to the seasonal flu, why is the media in an uproar over this?  Well, all you have to do is look back into history and see that we’re just repeating what’s been done before.  Unknown scare, media pushes out the message, government responds by allocating tax payer money to drug companies to produce vaccines and people bite.  Give it a few months and people will stop talking about it when Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton hits the town again.  Yup, the swine flu is nothing more than makin’ bacon.

We’re being duped! A lie is a lie, even if the truth is being stretched. The word cholesterol has somehow, with the help of media, become a bad chemical. Now Cheerios© claim to help “lower cholesterol.” Let’s look at the whole picture here.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a lipid that is essential to life, especially our cells since the cell membranes are composed of it.

Some of the functions of cholesterol:

• It is a precursor to the steroid hormones made in your body (estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, progesterone, cortisol, aldosterone)
• Precursor for vitamin D synthesis
• Important in the manufacturing of bile, which aids in fat digestion
• Important for the metabolism of the fat soluble vitamins (A D E K)
• Maintains the fluidity of cellular membranes

The Lipid Hypothesis:

In efforts to find the culprit for cardiovascular diseases, researchers began to point the finger at cholesterol being the prime suspect. Finding cholesterol plaques lining the artery walls led researchers to deduce that the narrowing of the space with the vessel was the prime cause for cardiovascular disease. The solution to the problem was to lower the amount of circulating cholesterol. Hooray (right?)!!!  Read on…

Enter the Statins:

In 1971, Japanese researcher Akira Endo discovered that a toxin produced by Penicillium citrinum actually inhibited the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase (the enzyme that makes Cholesterol). Its a natural defense mechanism that these bacteria evolved which would eventually kill the “predator.” This toxin was called Mevastatin. Then in 1976 Merck isolated another toxin from the fungus Aspergillus terreus, which inhibited HMG-CoA reductase, and called it Lovastatin.

Pharmaceutical companies began to isolate HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors from various microbes and then eventually began to synthesize it in the test tube.

Fast forward 25 years and statins become the #1 selling drug in the US, bringing in BILLIONS of dollars for the pharmaceutical industry.

Take home point: statins are toxic compounds meant to kill.

Have we solved the problem?

The logical conclusion you can draw from this is that since cholesterol build up cause cardiovascular disease and statins inhibit cholesterol production, there should be less cardiovascular disease in the US since it’s the #1 selling drug.

Yet according to the CDC, in 2005, heart disease was the leading cause of death, and stroke was the #3 leading cause of death.

Hmm…doesn’t seem like we solved the problem here.

Follow the white rabbit down the money trail…

Show me the MONEY!!!  Lipitor continues to top the list of the best selling drugs worldwide.  In 2006, sales topped $12.9 billion dollars.  Think about that.  The company who manufactures Lipitor is Pfizer.  In 2007 Pfizer listed revenues of $48.8 billion dollars.

In 2005, they maxed their contribution to the re-election of president George W. Bush ($250,000).

A 30 count 20mg bottle of Lipitor costs roughly $114.  Doctors tell you that you’ll need it for the rest of your life…adds up to thousands per person.

So how did lipitor rise to the top of the list?  Well, with MDs buying into the lipid hypothesis and then transmitting false information to their patients and organizations such as the American Heart Association lowering the “acceptable” levels of circulating cholesterol…you can see where this is going.  Tell every patient that they need to get their cholesterol levels checked, have the media express concern over the link between high cholesterol and death, and now you have a recipe for increased sales.

Another point to add in here is that “high cholesterol” has no signs or symptoms.  If it shows up on blood tests, your doc will probably instill some fear in you that you’re “at risk” and then quickly pull out the prescription pad.

Stay tuned for the next installment of the Cholesterol conspiracy…

In my opinion I think that the state medical board is taking things out of context.  He’s done a great job at helping people that others out there cannot believe, because conventional medicinal treatments have not worked.  My point is that who really cares if the treatments are not published in any medical journals?  All that really matters is that the patient essentially “feels better.”  There are many things that conventional medicine cannot explain.  Its those things that they can’t explain which they “poo poo.” 

I can understand the point of view of the state board.  They’re not familiar with the treatment procedures and their job is to protect the public from harm.  But I really think that they should do some research on it.  Well…scratch that.  There’s been tons of research done on environmental medicine.  The EPA has tons and tons of documentation that environmental toxins cause damage to human tissue. 

It just appalls me to hear highly educated doctors speak so ignorantly about subjects they have little training on.  Before you can make a judgement call, you need all the facts.  You have to do your research.  Unbiased research.
