Flu Vaccinations: A Shot in The Dark?
When I was 8, one of my friend’s dad died suddenly, at the ripe old age of 35, of the flu. Not cancer, not a heart attack, not a car wreck — the flu.
One day he was sick in bed with fever, chills, and headache. The next day he [...]

CT Scans And Radiation Risks In Children - Is It Really Worth It?

Opinion By Nurse Mark
We have become very quick to request CT scans for just about every complaint these days - for ourselves, and especially for our children.

Lettuce And Spinach To Be Secretly Irradiated! Say It Isn’t So!

It Isn’t So!
There has been somewhat of a flurry of outrage recently with the FDA announcement that on August 22, 2008, they published a final rule allowing the use of irradiation on fresh iceberg lettuce and fresh spinach. The FDA claims that this will make them "safer and last longer without spoiling."

Gardasil, Mandatory Vaccinations, And Health Freedom - What Can History Teach Us?

Do we learn nothing from history?
Be it the "Swine Flu" vaccine in the 1970’s that caused more deaths than the swine flu did, or the polio vaccine in 1955 that cause more disease than it prevented (known as "The Cutter Incident"), it looks like we need to be reminded over and over again that when [...]

Health Freedom Restrictions Predicted by Country’s Founding Fathers

Dr. Benjamin Rush and Thomas Jefferson, signers of the Declaration of Independence (in case you forgot), knew 200+ years ago that our health freedoms were in danger of restriction. They said:

FDA Declares BPA Safe!

It looks like the plastics industry has gotten to the FDA - no surprise really, considering the amounts of money involved - and FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach now assures us that he just can’t find any evidence of danger from bisphenol A — BPA — in plastic products such as baby bottles.
It seems that [...]

Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist. - Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O’Donnell, Propaganda and Persuasion

Happy Independence Day To All!

It was with immense pride and pleasure that I climbed the steps to raise this flag this morning…

As I look over the news headlines today I am reminded that "freedom isn’t free" - I hope you will join me in taking a moment to remember all those who have sacrificed to bring to us and [...]

"Shorts" from This Month’s Conventional Medicine News

I get a summary of major world medical "breakthroughs" and reports of medical study findings on a daily basis. Here are recent "findings" from conventional medical journals that may be of interest or humor to you.
