Outlawed Science in Ultimate Health and Healing


Over many years, Dr. Wilhelm Reich's work and findings on the orgone energy, or life-energy, have been subjected to careful scientific scrutiny and evaluation. This video gives a short introduction, and provides reference books and websites by which the interested viewer can obtain facts and accurate information. One of my mentors and personal physician, Dr. Lee Cowden, who manages the IntegraMed Academy, has seen a small Orgone Accumulator completely resolve the inflammation of a wrist sprain injury in about 10 minutes, even though the pain and swelling had persisted unabated for three days prior to the treatment.

Welcome to Brain Cancer and the Dumbing Down of America

No one's talking about the hidden dangers of cell phones, and which ones carry the most potential for causing brain cancer.  

 

New   '''Pandemic'''' **Especially  young  kids"""'  !   and  they  are  scaring  us  with a     '''swine'''''    flu  which  is  only   virus!   which You can  protect/prevent  by  strong  Immune system!   So Help us All !      Joz   

The cell phone companies surely will not broadcast this – especially in a down economy – but your cell phone can do some serious bodily damage resulting from radiation. 

And these dangers are skyrocketing at an alarming rate… though you may not be hearing about it because of the economics involved.  

Brain cancer recently surpassed leukemia as the number one cancer killer in children. I’m sure you’ll agree that’s an alarming development.

Dr. Charlie Teo, preeminent Australian neurosurgeon, believes a significant contributing factor in the exponential increase in pediatric brain tumors is excessive exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from mobile phones and other electrical and electronic equipment and appliances.

However, there are phones that create moderate risk and those that create serious risk.

Arrested For Chocolate

Like, busted for chocolate
Sweet treat triggers over-the-top narco response at the border

Feel like a little nip of organic chocolate while you’re heading to the Big Apple, Chicago or San Fran? Careful now. If you’re crossing the border with a fair trade sweet, you may get busted for drugs.

That’s what happened to Nadine Artemis and Ron Obadia, owners of Haliburton-?based alternative health company Living Libations. Sure, the New York State Police dropped charges of trafficking a controlled substance late last month – thousands in lawyer’s fees later. 

The culprit? Narcotics identification kits (NIKs), hyper monitoring mechanisms ready to blow the whistle on your tea tree oil or natural toiletries.

The story starts in August 2008, when the two raw foodists were stopped at Pearson Airport carrying their own brand of organic chocolate made of unrefined cacao, maca root, hemp seeds and goji berries. When Canadian Border Services applied a NIK test, their sweet treat registered positive for hash, and Obadia was told he would be charged at a future court appearance. 

The test, which takes a few seconds, involves a liquid interacting with the substance in a vial. If it turns any shade of purple, arrest.

Not surprisingly, the more complicated follow-up test by the feds a few weeks later came back negative, and the two were exonerated.

Fast-forward one month and those sketchy NIK tests nabbed them again, this time in Lewiston, New York. On September 11, the chocolate they were carting over the border to one of their clients tested positive – as did a bottle of tea tree oil and a natural disinfectant. “The FBI agent had never heard of tea tree oil, so it was comical and frustrating at the same time,” Obadia says. 

Again, subsequent tests sometime later by the New York state lab revealed no drugs in their organic products. But legal fees are still weighing down the couple, who owe more than $20,000, and their time spent in court has affected their business, which sells to Noah’s Natural Foods, Live Food Bar and the Big Carrot among others.

“Imagine all the other organic companies investing money in their product line,” Obadia says, “and now the RCMP and customs can arrest you for tests that give false positives.”

Are Canadian authorities relying on a useless test destined to snarl organic consumers and producers in its trap? RCMP spokesperson Marc LaPorte doesn’t think so. 

“In practice, these field tests are most often used at airports,” says Laporte. “Officers never rely solely on these results. They gather their grounds on the totality of the evidence. The evidence relied on in court is the Certificate of Analysis from the Health Canada lab.”

Yes, but the follow-up test happens quite a bit later, after hapless victims have already hired a lawyer.

At Forensic Source (formerly Armor Holdings), the Jacksonville, Florida, company that manufactures NIKs used by governments on both sides of the border, rep Mark Berman defends the product as “the benchmark for presumptive drug testing nationally and internationally.”

But Obadia says he tried out a NIK he bought online, assessing not only his chocolate but more commercial brands. All tested positive for illicit drugs, he says. 

He’s not the only one in the alternative health field quarrelling with NIKs. Mike Adams, editor of Arizona-?based NaturalNews.com and a consumer health advocate, found two nutritional powders came up positive for marijuana. “With these tests, anyone can find anything they want in the results,” he tells NOW. 

And the U.S. Organic Consumers Association has been watching the situation with alarm. According to Ronnie Cummins, the national director, his group tested herbs and even they tested positive. “This whole thing isn’t just incompetence. It’s terrible,’’ he says. “People are in jail because of this worthless test.”

The Living Libations duo are supporting a study probing drug tests, funded by the Marijuana Policy Project and Escondido, California-?based Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. Police in Newport Beach arrested punk musician Don Bolles in 2007 when a test made by Armour of his Dr. Bronner’s peppermint castile soap tested positive for date rape drug GHB.

According to Dr. Bronner’s Adam Eidinger, “The NIK’s false positive rate is about 10 per cent. This is an estimate from the hundreds of times I’ve experimented. Our strategy is to raise awareness so politicians will tell law enforcement agencies they can’t use these tests.”

Get the Flu Vaccine in an Ear of Corn

I just saw this today and had to share it with you all. This is so scarry and what els is going on in are world we are not aware of? Please read and share with otheres. We have the right to choose what we put in our bodies.


Future Foods: Genetically Modified, and Vaccine Loaded?

by Josh Day

A research team from Iowa State University is manipulating the genes of corn to introduce the flu vaccine.

Yes, that's right. Scientists are not only modifying the genes of corn -- which is used in everything from animal feed to sweetener -- but are running experiments with a possible goal of stealthily vaccinating animal and human populations by holding their consumption of a major food staple hostage.

Like fluoride in your municipal water supply, what if the government allows the genetically modified food industry to load your food with hosts of vaccines and who knows what else?

Right now this research team is honing in on swine flu.

Meatpoultry.com reports:

"We're trying to figure out which genes from the swine influenza virus to incorporate into corn so those genes, when expressed, would produce protein," said Hank Harris, professor in animal science and one of the researchers on the project. "When the pig consumes that corn, it would serve as a vaccine."

... According to the researchers, the corn vaccine would also work in humans when they eat corn or even corn flakes, corn chips, tortillas or anything that contains corn, Mr. Harris said. (Bryan Salvage, meatpoultry.com)

No mention in the brief article from the scientists about the ethics of this endeavor. Nor no mention of how such a program would totally violate patient consent, nor how this new corn would be labeled and presented to the public, or if it would even be differentiated from non-vaccinated, non-genetically modified corn at all.

If the research goes well, the corn vaccine may be possible in five to seven years. In the meantime, the team is trying to expedite the process. (Bryan Salvage, meatpoultry.com)

Another study was conducted on potatoes with the hepatitis B vaccine.

The year: 2005.

The target: third world countries.

An article from New Scientist reports:

Genetically engineered potatoes containing a hepatitis B vaccine have successfully boosted immunity in their first human trials.

But the newly-published study missed a moving target - drug developers are now abandoning their quest for vaccines contained in staple foods like bananas, tomatoes or potatoes.

The hope was that the altered foods would provide a cheap source of vaccines that could be grown and administered in poorer countries without the need for costly refrigeration or needle injections. However, developers have changed tack to avoid any possibility of vaccine-laden food straying into shops or markets. If this occurred, it could be unwittingly eaten by consumers, with unpredictable results.

Instead, developers are now focusing on making vaccines in the safely edible leaves of plants not on sale as food.

"We've not worked with potatoes for two years now," says Charles Arntzen at Arizona State University in Tempe, US, who led the potato study and is a veteran of the decade-long bid to produce GM vaccines in foods. "We don't say 'edible' vaccine any more - we say 'heat-stable oral vaccines'." (Andy Coghlan, New Scientist)

Interesting that this Iowa research group changed directions from the past potato study and is focusing on corn opposed to other vegetable matter not usually commercially available for consumption.

As of May 2009 in the United States, there is a controversial "food safety" bill being prepped for congress. H.R. 875, dubbed the Food Safety Modernization Act, is written in vague language that, according to opponents, could potentially crush small, local, and family-owned farms, as well as organic farming, which would not grow the genetically modified as well as vaccine-loaded corn.
