WARNING! Flu Shots can be dangerous to your healthWritten by Dr. Edward F. Group III
Every year about this time doctors around world are recommending that people go in and get their annual flu shot. What most people don’t know or understand is just how dangerous this could be, especially for children under age of 12. When people call and say “My doctor is telling family to go in and get a flu shot. Should I do it?”…I tell them they should learn about side effects and decide for themselves…as a chiropractor and naturopathic physician I don’t’ have time or energy to argue with family practitioners or family doctors who are obviously uneducated on possible side effects or detrimental effects flu shots or vaccinations in general can have on body. I personally have never received a flu shot and have never been ill during flu season. In my personal opinion I don’t think toxic chemicals and strains of different viruses growing on living tissue belong inside body. Because of demand, I want to share with you some of research that we have found in latest flu shot trend and by-products of these supposedly sterile and non-harmful solutions. I don’t know about you, but I sure would not want any of following compounds in my bloodstream or deposited in my body. Let’s look at what we have found in common vaccinations: Ethylene Glycol: Ethylene Glycol is nothing more than technical name for anti-freeze, same stuff that you put inside your car engine. I don’t think I have to tell you what would happen if you ingest antifreeze. Thimerosal: This is a mercury derived disinfectant and preservative which is used in a majority of vaccinations and can result in brain injury over a long period of time leading into Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease, lack of memory, sluggish brain performance and also is known to induce auto-immune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ALS as well as altering and depleting immune system from working efficiently. Phenol: Phenol is most commonly used as a disinfectant, also used as a dye, is listened as a carcinogenic agent (cancer-causing) agent and is also known as carbolic acid. Neomycin and Streptomycin: These compounds are used as antibiotics which have side effects to include severe allergic reactions in some people. It always puzzled me why they are putting two different forms of antibiotics in a viral vaccine. Aluminum: Aluminum accumulates in skin, bones, brain and kidneys and can cause Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Aluminum has also caused cancer in laboratory mice. It is commonly used as an additive in most vaccinations. Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is used as a preservative. It is also classified as a carcinogenic (cancer-causing agent) and causes body fluids to become acidic in nature. Formaldehyde will start to preserve your tissues within body. I hope that when your doctor starts telling you that it is time for your annual flu vaccine you will present this material to him and ask him how all of these ingredients are going to prevent you from getting flu. I’ll be very interested in knowing what his answer is to that question. As a side note just to let you know what is being injected to your body, these vaccines are strained through animal or human tissues like chicken embryos, monkey kidney tissue and embryonic guinea pig cells, to name a few. So what am I supposed to do if I don’t listen to my doctor and I decide not to get an annual flu shot? Well, you have probably made smartest decision you have ever made in your entire life. So let me give you 5 Simple Secrets and Bonuses to Sailing Through The Flu Season: Secret #1: Reduce your intake of caffeine, alcohol and carbonated beverages and replace with purified water with addition of organic apple cider vinegar added. Two tablespoons per gallon or a capful per glass. Ideally, you should drink at least ½ gallon of water each day. Secret #2: Reduce intake of refined white sugar, white flour, sweets, refined grains and hydrogenated oils. Try not to over-eat, especially during holidays. Try to get adequate exercise—at least 3 times per week. The more you move, better your lymph system is able to move toxic materials out of body. Secret #3: Zinc. In a majority of studies that have been done during flu season many people have prevented flu by taking supplements of zinc. Zinc is one of most powerful immune stimulants and is powerful anti-viral. There are a lot of different forms of zinc and you have to be careful on which one you choose. Therefore I recommend best and most absorbable form of zinc which is zinc orotate. If you cannot find this form of zinc at your local health food store or natural health care practitioner contact Global Healing Center at 713.476.0016 or staff@globalhealingcenter.com. Do not take zinc at same time you eat or drink citrus fruits or juices. It will diminish effectiveness of zinc.
| | Rush Limbaugh, Victim, Perp or none of the above? (Part 1)Written by Bill Kammarada
Or is There Room for Blame with FDA, DEA and Pharmaceutical Companies?Buying Drugs Online: It's Convenient and Private, but Be Aware of Facts! Political commentator Rush Limbaugh could become target of a criminal probe into sale and use of illegal drugs. Rush became addicted to legitimate prescribed prescription painkillers after a failed back operation several years ago. Asked about culpability of Limbaugh, source said that he could still face charges for having a large quantity of prescription painkillers without a prescription, but source added that no charges are imminent. (Fox News) OxyContin is a pain reliever that contains a very strong narcotic similar to morphine and is only intended for moderate to severe daily pain, according to Food and Drug Administration. But doctors are not free to medicate their patients as they see fit. Doctors are monitored rigorously in prescribing these legitimate painkillers for their patients who need them and stand sanct10n and possible loss of license if DEA feels they are over-prescribing certain controlled painkillers. So, in fear of DEA, physician is hesitant to prescribe sufficient medication for his suffering patients. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans with excruciating pain: accident victims, spinal problem sufferers, cancer victims, AIDS patients and more who can’t get relief from their debilitating condition, which ruins their lives and those around them. They are left to suffer with no promise of relief, short of their demise, or obtaining their prescription painkillers illegally elsewhere. They are truly victim of "War on Drugs", a war that cannot be won. Rush would have been better off buying them on Internet instead of black market. The consequences would have been much less severe. It’s no wonder so many Americans are swarming to new Internet revolution, online pharmacy, where no one, not even government, has access to their prescription records. I would think Feds have access to databases of CVS, Rite-aid, Walgreen’s, Duane Reade, Eckerd, Familymeds, Navarro, Kroger, and all supermarket chains and have added them to Big Brother’s "Patriot Bill Database. And if you use a supermarket Savings Card, they even know what you eat. Hum. Then there is case for medical marijuana, but that’s for another day. Today it’s virtually impossible to not be aware of Online Internet Pharmacies and immediate availability of prescription medication and substantial savings that they offer. But no real analytical and logical argument has been made giving all pros and cons of using Online Pharmacies versus regular pharmacies, which we are all familiar with. Everyone has their own turf to protect, from FDA, doctors, pharmacists, brick & mortar pharmacies, drug manufacturers, and overstepping Federal and state governments and agencies. Disclaimer: I work for www.RxAsia.com, which is an Online Pharmacy. (My comments within quoted text will appear in italics like this. I trust you can see thru my sarcasm) I will attempt to present an unbiased opinion of where Online Pharmacies stand today, in October 2003. It appears all pertinent data on line about Online Pharmacies dates back to year 2000. I will attempt to present pro & con arguments from both government and Online Industry sides, and let you; ultimate judge, juror and consumer decide where you stand on issue. In some cases, I will debunk their illogical arguments and comments concerning Online Pharmacies. An FDA article written in 2000 by John Henkel states "More and more consumers are using Internet for health reasons. According to market research firm Cyber Dialogue Inc., health concerns are sixth most common reason people go online. Internet drugstores, however, won't make "brick and mortar" pharmacies obsolete anytime soon. Over 3 billion prescriptions were dispensed in 2000, and though no reliable figures gauging total online sales are yet available, industry sources say that number is likely still fairly small. For some people, buying prescription drugs online offers advantages compared to purchasing drugs from a local drugstore, including: The privacy and convenience of ordering medications from their homes Greater availability of drugs for shut-in people or those who live far from pharmacy The ease of comparative shopping among many sites to find best prices Greater convenience and variety of products Easier access to written product information and references to other sources than in traditional storefront pharmacies..." I’d like to add to this analysis following: Substantial dollar savings over US and Canadian pharmacies. (Yes, buying offshore is cheaper than even Canadian pharmacies) In most, if not all cases, drugs are manufactured by same Pharmaceutical companies that make drugs for US and Canada, with exception that they are only paying prevailing local wage, taxes and other lower manufacturing costs, thus their costs are lower. You can bet major manufacturing companies keep up to US standards even in their offshore facilities to avoid negative and potentially explosive bad publicity. Generic drugs might be available overseas at substantial savings over brand name, where they might not be available in US and Canada. Partially eliminating (every three-month) doctor visit and subsequent savings in time and cost just to renew your prescription. (Yes, you doctor is a legal drug pusher, charging you to renew your prescription. Sorry, that is my opinion)
