 Right now, 50 people representing drug companies, governments, and vaccine licensing agencies are meeting in Geneva in a closed-door session to discuss what can be done to prevent this next coming flu pandemic. The world health organization has flatly stated there will not be enough vaccine to go around. On their web site, they say, "production capacity for a pandemic vaccine will be vastly inadequate unless other companies engage in vaccine seed development and preparation of batches for clinical testing. |
| But it could soon become front-page news, if the fears of the world health organization are realized. The group is concerned about the ripening conditions for a global outbreak of a particular bird flu strain currently present in Asia. What makes this situation all the more serious is the humbling fact that the world simply doesn't have the manufacturing or distribution capacity to provide flu vaccinations to many people.
This frightening fact became quite evident this year with the shortage of flu shots in the United States. |
| But it was also true in past flu pandemics such as the outbreak of 1918 which killed a startling 40 to 50 million people around the world, according to the world health organization. And that was at a time when the global population was much lower than it is today. Population density was also lower, and it was extremely difficult for people to travel from one region to the next. Even though, as many as 50 million people were killed by a single strain of the influenza virus.
Today, conditions are far more favorable to the spread of infectious disease. |

 Indeed, the world health organization now says that the interactions between children and their toys put them at the center of a potential "risk triangle." Infants, according to the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety, an affiliate of the world health organization, have far less capacity for detoxifying chemicals than adults, and with toys face all three points of that "triangle": "increased vulnerability" to a chemical's "toxic effects," and plenty of possibilities for exposure through "intimate contact" with toys. |

| But as the world health organization is currently explaining, these vaccines are probably not going to be widely available. That means despite your best efforts, you may find yourself in a situation where you do not have access to the vaccine. Or you may have access to limited supplies of the vaccine and may have to make a choice between vaccinating your child or vaccinating yourself. |
| But even the world health organization doesn't know the exact timing of this, and that means it's impossible for you or me to predict it as well. So the smart play is to get healthy now. Educate yourself about how you can boost your immune system function, and then start taking action steps to move in that direction immediately. By the time the global pandemic really starts to spread, you could find yourself with one of the strongest immune systems around. |

 University of Illinois and one of the principal authors of the black cohosh monograph for the world health organization.
One of the best-known commercial products containing a standardized extract of black cohosh is Remifemin, which seems to have an excellent track record in helping with hot flashes. The company's website (www.remifemin.com) explains what you can expect using a standardized black cohosh product and provides abstracts of research for those who want more information. |

| The world health organization (WHO)1 and the International Diabetes Foundation have said the number of diabetics will more than double from 171 million to 366 million by the year 2030.
If your business is peddling legal prescription drugs for maintenance of disease, this explosion is an opportunity for unparalleled growth. The opportunity for abuse in this situation is overwhelming and, because of the vulnerability of the victims, extremely repulsive. The patient is promised a not-too-distant cure, while the perpetrators profitably treat the symptoms —for the remainder of the patient's life. |

 The role of stress as the cause of illness has been as extensively researched as the role of meditation in reducing stress. The world health organization recently passed a resolution recommending meditation as a cost-effective health-care system. Major corporations find that meditation lifts the production levels of their staff, and sporting organisations that athletic performance is enhanced.
High-powered business and professional people, politicians, office workers—in fact, people from all walks of life—have discovered the inner peace and outer health results from meditation. |

The Risk of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Traditionally, moderate to severe menopausal complaints have been managed with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using synthetic hormones. This is absolutely not the place to get into the enormous controversy generated by preliminary findings from the Women's Health Initiative that reported a slightly increased risk of heart attacks and breast cancer for women on HRT. |

 In 1979 top scientists were brought to Lyon, France, to review public information about vinyl chloride for the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer. Amassing all that was publicly known, the committee declared that "vinyl chloride is a human carcinogen. Its target organs are the liver, brain, lung and haemo-lymphopoietic system . . . there is no evidence that there is an exposure level below which no increased risk of cancer would occur in humans."
Less than a decade later, in 1987, the IARC conducted a second assessment, extending the first. |

 Commissioned in the late 1940s by the world health organization to write a policy report on the effects of maternal deprivation on child health, he summed up his conclusions in 1951 in a highly influential report titled "Maternal Care and Mental Health." It pulled no punches: "prolonged deprivation of a young child of maternal care may have grave and far reaching effects on his character . . . similar in form ... to deprivation of vitamins in infancy. |
| Because the survey had followed then-recent world health organization recommendations that "health" be defined by reference not just to physical but also to mental and social well-being, the participants in the 1965 survey—close to seven thousand people—had answered questions about their marital state, number of friends, and memberships in religious and voluntary organizations. |

 Despite the high cost, the world health organization ranked the U.S. 37th out of 191 countries. We are not getting what we paid for, or we are paying for the wrong things. It is enough to give one a migraine. Today's untenable model forces us into HMOs, which have a goal of spending the absolute minimum possible on health care in an effort to maximize profits. The constant pressure of employers to cut costs to improve their bottom line has many companies reducing benefits to employees, and for small businesses; it is almost impossible to provide decent employee benefits. |

| World Health Organization to cause cancer in male and female rats and mice. The European Union bans it from personal care products. The United States does not have the authority to do so, does not monitor levels in baby shampoos and bubble baths, and does not recommend limits for this substance in these products.
David Steinman, leader of the Green Patriot movement and author of a new book Safe Trip to Eden, is also the father of young children. As an environmental journalist he knew enough to ask about complicated long-named chemicals that could be in children's bubble baths. |
| A major international study of brain cancer in wireless phone users is still underway, headquartered at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the world health organization in Lyon, France. The large study was designed to combine more than 3,000 cases of brain tumors from around the industrial world and was supposed to release its results in 2006. In Canada, Daniel Krewski, a respected epidemiologist who heads that country's national study of cell phones, receives much of his funding from the industry. Some have asked whether this constitutes bias. |

 Several scientists are now working under the auspices of the world health organization to create an autoimmunity task force that, if given adequate dollars, would serve as a worldwide monitoring group to educate against manufacturing practices that are most likely to put populations at risk. Such a watchdog group would also act as a rapid response team, investigating outbreaks in time to prevent widespread problems. |
| The documentary's accompanying Web site states that with continued warming, deaths from climate-related illness are expected to rise sharply over the next two decades, according to projections by the world health organization. The question emerges: As the planet warms from pollution and infection-bearing mosquitoes and ticks proliferate in more temperate climates, how much will illness rates rise? Mosquitoes that transmit diseases such as West Nile virus thrive in warm weather. |

| Any country that is part of the world health organization (WHO) is subject to the Codex guidelines and sanctions if they digress.
Consider what happened to the United Nations regarding the "food for oil" scandal. Now, consider that the pharmaceutical companies have vast resources (money and power) worldwide. Codex directives are currently seeking to eliminate all vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and most other supplements as free-trade items. They are seeking to reclassify all these supplements as pharmaceuticals...to be bought, sold, traded, and regulated by the pharmaceutical industry. |

 Fennel seed and peppermint leaf tea: Rehydration is typically carried out by reintroducing water with electrolytes. The world health organization (WHO) recommends the following combination in cases of severe dehydration: Mix 1 liter of filtered water, 2 tbsp of sugar, M tsp of salt, ]4 tsp of potassium chloride, and Y tsp of baking soda. These can be added to a tea of fennel seed and peppermint leaves. The seeds of fennel are full of flavor and are helpful for treating diarrhea. Fennel's carminative action soothes the stomach, allowing the retention of fluids. |

 Worldwide, overweight and obese people now outnumber the undernourished and starving. The world health organization has estimated that more than 1.7 billion adults are overweight or obese, compared with 600 million who are undernourished.
In England, 39 percent of the population tip the scales as overweight, with 21 percent obese. The numbers are rising, and projections suggest that one-third of British men will be obese by 2010. In France, regardless of what you've heard about French women not getting fat, weight problems are common. |

 GM proteins in soy, corn, and papaya may be allergens
Although tests cannot verify that a novel GM protein won't cause allergies, the world health organization (WHO) and UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) offer criteria to reduce the likelihood that allergenic GM crops are approved.9 This includes examining GM protein for 1) similarity of amino acid sequences to known allergens, 2) digestive stability, and 3) heat stability. These three aren't predictive of allergenicity, but according to experts, their presence should be sufficient to reject the crop or at least require more testing. |

 However, the world health organization, after reviewing more than 25,000 research papers on the topic, concluded that there is no negative biological consequence associated with low-level electrical currents. Therefore, there is no need to "protect" skin with a "snake-oil" product like this one. The unhappy face rating has little to do with the producr's formula, which ends up being that of a very ordinary toner. Rather, it pertains to the false claims that may stir a sense of unease in women who sit down in front of their computers every day.

| The world health organization report of June 4, 2000, listed "healthy" life expectancies of people in nations around the world. Japan and Australia ranked number 1 and 2 respectively, Canada was 12th, and the United States of America was 24th, right after Israel in 23rd spot. Dr. Christopher Murray states:
The position of the United States is one of the major surprises of the new rating system. Basically, you die earlier and spend more time disabled if you're an American rather than a member of most other advanced countries. |

 To give you some idea just how permissive that is, the world health organization recommends that no more than 10 percent of daily calories come from added sugars, a benchmark that the U.S. sugar lobby has worked furiously to dismantle. In 2004 it enlisted the Bush State Department in a campaign to get the recommendation changed and has threatened to lobby Congress to cut WHO funding unless the organization recants. Perhaps we should be grateful that the saturated fat interests have as yet organized no such lobby. |

| Once in the air, it is inhaled, and starts accumulating in the food chain. A world health organization report from 1997 stated that mercury accumulates at the top of the aquatic and marine food chains, and that fish are the major source of dietary exposure. Many species of fish, especially tuna, swordfish, shark, and bottom-feeders, as well as shellfish, are now considered unsafe to eat. Even in the supposedly clean environment of Greenland, one in six Greenlanders now have potentially harmful blood levels of mercury from eating contaminated fish and whales. |

| It is very nutrient-dense, so much so that the 1989 special edition of the world health organization stated that chlorella supplies all the minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, as well as chlorophyll, that the human body needs for good health. It is noted for a property called Chlorella Growth Factor which gives it the ability to promote tissue repair and growth. It is readily digestible and is a very suitable alkaline food for all ages, from infants to the elderly.
Chlorella is particularly valuable for its ability to remove modern-day toxins from our bodies. |
