Just drive around any city or town in the united states and you can see what's happening. Take a look at the new construction. What's going to be there? If it's an office complex, chances are it's going to be a medical office building. If it's on a street corner, it's probably going to be a pharmacy -- maybe a new Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy or a new drive-through Wal-Mart pharmacy. You even see pharmacies in grocery stores now, because they are so profitable. When you go into grocery stores and look at what's being sold there, you're getting a good look at the economic activity in this country. |

The way it is practiced in the united states is not true Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine education has become Westernized in the united states. Just like the Chinese food served in the united states is nothing like Chinese food purchased in China, Chinese medicine in the united states doesn't match the Chinese medicine practiced in China.
"Ayurvedic medicine" is a system of holistic medicine practiced widely in India and throughout Southeast Asia. |

In his latest video tirade, Osama Bin Laden threatened to bankrupt the united states. Tonight, he must be smirking, because president Bush has done the job for him. The U.S. is bankrupt, folks, and it is bankrupt in every way a nation can be: morally, financially and spiritually.
And now, the majority of the American people have told the world they just can't get enough of this treatment. We want more. Citizens of the international community -- people from Canada, Germany, France, Hong Kong, New Zealand and other nations -- are right now thinking the united states has gone mad. |

Think about what we produce in the united states versus other countries. While we are toiling away in our disease economy and inventing new super extreme nacho Doritos and coming up with new prescription drugs that alter brain chemistry in children, genius-level students in other countries are actually doing something useful. In Japan, for example, they are inventing a whole new industry, which I believe will dominate the world's economy. It will be bigger than the computer industry and automobile industry ever was. It's the robotics industry. |
| In fact, as I've stated before, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the united states earn more money than the remaining 490 Fortune 500 companies. Just recently, I heard the Bush administration was very excited about the news that we are experiencing economic growth in this country. The economy is up, more money is changing hands, and that's all that economists really look at when calculating gross domestic product or gross national product. They're just looking at the total number of dollars that changed hands. |

Desert Burn also displays the sellers license and growers license, providing the most documentation of all hoodia resellers in the united states.
Not surprisingly, some websites are counterfeiting the CITES certificates with help from Photoshop. By photo-editing the certificate found on DesertBurn.com or other websites, they can create their own genuine-looking CITES certificate, even though their hoodia remains counterfeit. A real CITES certificate will clearly show the name of the importer and exporter for the hoodia. A fake CITES certificate will usually have these whited out. |
| In fact, there are really two camps of counterfeit hoodia sellers in the United States: 1) those who know they're selling fake hoodia but don't care, and 2) those who don't want to know whether their hoodia is fake or genuine, so they don't ask the tough questions of their suppliers.
Truth Publishing believes the counterfeit hoodia gordonii supplement market is made of both types of companies: there are several high-end companies whose hoodia products tested as unconfirmed even though the companies have a strong track record of quality control and honesty. |
| The resulting product may only have 10% of the original potency of genuine hoodia, yet it is sold as 100% South African hoodia gordonii powder to bulk buyers in the united states.
As a result -- and this is critically important to understand -- many U.S. supplement companies may be unknowingly selling counterfeit hoodia gordonii supplements while believing they are 100% genuine.
At the same time, other supplement companies may, in fact, not really care what they're selling as long as customers keep buying it in the hopes of losing weight. |
| Truth Publishing has learned that at least one laboratory exists in the united states that will generate an authentic-looking certificate of analysis on practically any sample as long as the "testing" is paid for.
Bait-and-switch tactics. Many brokers will attain a genuine sample of hoodia gordonii, send that sample for testing, acquire a certificate of authenticity, and then fill their bulk orders with something entirely different.
Cutting the real product with fillers. |

That part is absolutely true, and the united states has done that very successfully. The free market does work in accomplishing that, but what we're seeing now is something beyond what those old-school economists could have ever conceived. We're seeing an economy that is increasingly based on goods and services that do not add to the quality of consumers' lives but rather take away from it. We're seeing entrepreneurs and creative, clever people finding new ways to market products that harm people and calling that profitability or economic growth. |
| Why is it that 50 percent of our senior citizens in the united states have high blood pressure? Why is it that 40 percent of our senior citizens are now clinically obese? I'm willing to bet that a similar percentage may have nervous system disorders or early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Most of them are probably metabolizing some form of cancer right now, even though it may not have been diagnosed yet.
We are a nation of diseased individuals, and that disease starts very early. There are 12-year-old children who have atherosclerosis. |

Nor is there any requirement to disclose which foods were grown with pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals banned in the united states (and U.K.) but still legal in other places like Central and South America.
If that last sentence surprises you, it should: not one in a hundred American consumers is aware that it is perfectly legal for U.S. chemical companies to export dangerous chemical pesticides (like DDT) that have been banned for use on crops in the united states. |

There are not the Ayurvedic formulas made in the united states, Germany and other countries with higher quality standards. Just because you're buying Ayurvedic medicines doesn't mean that you're going to be getting heavy metals.
What this announcement fails to mention is that a whole lot of the food products in the united states is also contaminated with heavy metals. There was an article a few months ago about a girl in the united states who, for a science fair project, found heavy metal poisoning in canned foods made right here in the U.S. |

Residents of the united states like to think they live in a nation based on solid science. Although there is plenty of rigorous science taking place within the united states, much of the most important science produced today is based entirely on creating the illusion that something sold by a corporation is good, or that new regulations that require businesses to conduct themselves with environmental responsibility are not necessary. |

DDT) that have been banned for use on crops in the united states. Those pesticides are sold to countries with lower environmental and health standards which turn around and use them on crops that are exported right back to the USA. So U.S. consumers end up eating produce grown with the very same pesticides banned in the united states, and it's all perfectly legal and openly accepted by the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Thoughtcrimes are about to become a reality in the united states of America, and Congress is pushing this through as quickly as possible so that each individual member of Congress can claim that he or she is "against terrorism." But this bill doesn't merely target terrorism: It targets anyone who speaks or even thinks thoughts against the U.S. federal government.
With this bill, the U.S. government is officially labeling the People of the united states as criminals. It is drawing a line in the sand and stating that from now on, it's the Government vs. the People. |

Without question, the healthiest people in the united states are those who operate outside the health care system. Health care reform doesn't matter to them, because they've already reformed their own health! They make informed choices about foods, medicines and exercise. They don't see M.D.s, and many don't even carry health insurance. They are skeptical, informed and healthy consumers. They're the kind of people who read NewsTarget. And it's an honor to write for people like you. You are the only hope for the possibility of a brighter future in the united states and around the world. |

Before long, it seems, all the food sold in the united states will be genetically modified, irradiated, pasteurized, homogenized, hydrolyzed and packaged for a two-year shelf life. And it will all be labeled as "All natural!"
It's no wonder, then that the united states population demonstrates the lowest levels of mental and physical health of any advanced nation. We are the walking dead, largely because we eat predominantly dead foods. |

As far as I know, we are currently the only consumer products company in the united states that has gone to the trouble (and expense) of manufacturing and selling RoHS-certified products.
Since these rules are not required in the united states, most retailers pay no attention to them and keep selling products made with mercury and other toxic substances. But because I'm such a proponent of protecting both nature and human health, I insist on sourcing RoHS-certified products wherever possible. |

For example, if the united states wanted to avoid the bird flu, it could decide to not to receive any air traffic from any country whatsoever. It could also choose to shut down its borders, thereby not allowing people from Canada or Mexico to enter the united states. This might be the only way to prevent our nation from falling victim to this global pandemic.
However, even that solution prompts a question: How do you actually stop people from entering the country? We can't even do it today. Nearly 4,000 illegal immigrants cross the border from Mexico into the united states every 24 hours. |

In almost every health parameter measured, the united states lags behind other western countries. In fact, over the last 30 years, the united states has fallen further behind the other western countries in nearly every category of health system performance.4 All during this time, the U.S. was outspending every other country on health care.
Our medical system is broken. It is a system based on the disease and drug model. Physicians are trained to properly diagnose the illness and to prescribe the drug therapy to treat the symptoms of the illness. |
