 These companies aren't out to create a better future for humanity, they're out to create better profits for themselves -- even if it means marketing potentially harmful cold medicines to children.
It's about time the world woke up and realized that these cold medicines are pure quackery. And someday, when enough sane scientists speak out, this whole system of pharmaceutical medicine will be demolished and replaced with something that actually works to enhance health (like drinking fresh juices from leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits). |

 Every time I write about cold fusion, by the way, I get one or two letters from some "esteemed" professor of physics from some university who thinks it's his job to explain to me why cold fusion doesn't exist and can't work. (It's a lot like receiving a letter through some sort of time machine, where all the senders of the letters are fifty years behind...) As always, these people remain utterly ignorant of what's happening in this field. For example, in 1999, the Depart of Energy actually funded a low-energy nuclear reaction lab at the University of Illinois. Read it yourself at http://www. |
| According to the hot fusion defenders, this was proof enough that cold fusion was a fraud.
Of course, it is scientific insanity to suggest that just because something happens three out of ten times, it doesn't exist at all. In my view, three out of ten times is pretty darn good for an emerging science that is experimental in nature and very poorly understood. With refinement and additional experiments, that number could doubtlessly have been increased to six or seven out of ten, and perhaps eventually ten out of ten.
Nevertheless, cold fusion was discredited. |

| It's about time the world woke up and realized that these cold medicines are pure quackery. And someday, when enough sane scientists speak out, this whole system of pharmaceutical medicine will be demolished and replaced with something that actually works to enhance health (like drinking fresh juices from leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits). In the mean time, don't be suckered by over-the-counter medicines. Nearly all of them are laced with toxic chemical additives (such as coloring chemicals and chemical sweeteners), and virtually none of them do anything to actually help the body heal. |
| Virtually the entire meth drug problem in the United States can be traced back to over-the-counter cold medicines manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. Does this bother the FDA? Not one bit. As long as the medications keep selling, Big Pharma is happy and the FDA keeps it all legal. The FDA, in this case, is a key enabler of the illegal meth drug trade. |
| For example, the FDA outlawed the selling of ephedra, a common herb in Chinese Medicine, yet the same active chemical is openly allowed to be purchased in over-the-counter cold medicines sold at virtually every corner pharmacy in America. Apparently, the FDA believes the herb is dangerous, but somehow the refined, highly-concentrated drug is far safer -- which is like saying crack is safer than coca leaf tea. The real reason for this double standard is that over-the-counter medicines are profitable for Big Pharma, and that's exactly why this drug remains on the market. |
| Never tested on children
Here's an interesting fact to consider when determining the credibility of the FDA's safety record: None of the cold medicines that have been marketed to children for decades -- right under the noses of FDA officials -- were ever tested in children!
You read that correctly: There has never been a single clinical trial showing these medicines to be either safe or effective for use in children. Not one.
So much for the "gold standard" of so-called "scientific medicine," huh? |
| REPPED: Another example of outright quackery by pharmaceutical companies has finally gathered enough steam to achieve mainstream news coverage: cold medicines are useless, say pediatricians who petitioned the FDA to ban the marketing of such products to children. Last month, an FDA advisory panel partially agreed with the recommendation, and voted to declare that such medicines should not be used in children younger than six. |

| Modern science seeks to protect its interests, not to reveal truth
The suppression of cold fusion is just one example of how our modern the scientific community operates more like a group of high priests than seekers of genuine scientific understanding. As a result, the science we live with today only represents a small fraction of the true scientific knowledge available to mankind. Much of the good science conducted over the last hundred years has been suppressed (cold fusion is just the beginning of this story). |
| If you think back to 1989 and look at the way this issue was suppressed, you realize that the credibility of cold fusion was destroyed by scientists who had career and ego investments in the theories of hot fusion. These were scientists who had published papers or invested their careers in multi-billion dollar experiments trying to generate free electricity from hot fusion. Thus, the idea that two chemists could create cold fusion with a tabletop experiment was viewed as outrageous. |
| This site provides excellent reading on the history of cold fusion as well as the many challenges still being faced in this search for genuine scientific understanding.

 As a result, cooking foods in plastic may be extremely hazardous to your health, but eating liquids stored in cold plastic may, in fact, only expose you to a tiny fraction of the same chemicals. Although this is not a scientific number, here's a reasonable estimation: Food heated in plastic may generate 500 times the bisphenol-A contamination as food kept cold in plastic containers. Thus, cold plastic containers seem relatively safe.
But don't think you're safe yet! |

| Nevertheless, cold fusion was discredited. Today, more than 15 years later, it remains discredited and virtually unknown in the Western world. Meanwhile, Fleischmann and Pons are busy working for private corporations who will, without a doubt, one day release industrial or consumer versions of low-energy nuclear reactors that will provide free energy to households, businesses and even entire communities at very little cost. |

 Today, meth ("crank") is made from ingredients found in over-the-counter cold medicines. While a meth epidemic sweeps America, destroying entire communities and even threatening some states (Hawaii in particular), drug companies insist their cold medicines should remain over the counter and not be classified as controlled substances. There is currently no legislative effort whatsoever to ban over-the-counter cold medicines containing the chemicals used to create meth. |

 Take it as soon as you detect cold symptoms coming on (don't wait!) and keep taking it every four hours until your cold is gone. You'll notice a significant improvement in your ability to overcome colds or flus.
Where to get Power Immune
Fitura sells 3 bottles for $49.95 on their website: www.Fitura.com
California residents pay sales tax, but for everyone else, you only have to pay shipping. It ships in 2 oz. tincture bottles suitable for short- or long-term storage.
You probably already know this, but I earn nothing from the sale of these products. |
| In a matter of hours, you might start to feel the early symptoms of a cold coming on: Sore throat, achy back, fatigue, etc.
When this happened to me, I grabbed the Fitura Power Immune and swallowed six dropper fulls. I also slammed some zinc, 2000mg of vitamin C, plus a round of Chinese herbs like cinnamon and Dang Gui. When fighting cold symptoms, I also eat or drink nothing cold and consume only hot or warm foods and beverages. The next morning, all my symptoms were completely gone, never to return.
I experienced this twice over the last few months. |

 The saponin in Maggie's Soap Nuts releases quickly into hot water, and more slowly in cold water. When washing in hot water you only need two soap nuts per load and they'll release all of their saponin in about one wash. When washing with cold water, up to 4 nuts and reuse them up to 4 times. You'll know the saponin in Maggie's Soap Nuts is used up when the nuts no longer feel squeaky clean or sudsy when you rub them.
Can I use Soap Nuts with any temperature water?
Yes! The saponin in Maggie's Soap Nuts releases quickly into hot water, and more slowly in cold water. |

 It's excruciatingly cold. After a few moments, you notice your fingers feel numb and then the feeling gets more intense. It starts at the tips of the fingers, moves up through the knuckles, to the palm, and then all the way through your hand. Now your whole hand is getting unbelievably cold. You start to shiver as the cold works up your arm and into your body. You are thinking, "I have to get my hand out of this water."
Now shift your attention to the right hand. Imagine putting your right hand into a bucket of extremely hot water. |

 One benefit identified in cold studies is an 85 percent reduction in pneumonia incidence with supplemental vitamin C intake.
Studies with human subjects have found decreased vitamin C levels in plasma, leukocytes, and urine during various infections including the common cold. This may indicate that more vitamin C is needed during infections. The vitamin C levels inside leukocytes can be reduced to half during a cold, but the level returns to the original level about a week after the episode. |
| By reducing the likelihood of a cold progressing to pneumonia. More vitamin C is needed during colds.
It is also interesting that vitamin C is found in high concentrations in phagocytes and lymphocytes, indicating that vitamin C may have important functional roles in these immune system cells. Vitamin C increases the production of interferon in the body. Interferon inhibits viral proliferation, including colds. Lack of vitamin C has been found to raise the risk of many infections, especially pneumonia. |

 He has studied risk factors of the common cold and has found that stressful personal relationships make a person significandy more likely to get a cold. Bad relationships are as much a causal factor for the common cold as vitamin C deficiency and poor sleep.32
There is also a convincing literature that psychotherapy, which managed-care companies in their penny-pinching myopia have been so loathe to pay for, saves a lot of money in the long run. |

They'll release all of their saponin in about one wash. When washing with cold water, up to 4 nuts and reuse them up to 4 times. Alternatively, pre-soak your cotton sack containing two soap nuts in a little hot water to release the saponin. After a couple minutes of soaking, add the mixture to the cold-water wash.
Do I have to remove the Maggie's Soap Nuts from the washing machine during the rinse cycle? |
| For really dirty clothes, giant loads, or when washing in cold water, you can use more nuts. You'll know you've used too many nuts if your clothes feel stiff after washing. The stiffness results from excess saponin in the rinse water and is not harmful to you or the clothes. The stiffness will go away after the next washing.
Can I use the Soap Nuts more than once?
It depends on the temperature of the water you're using. The saponin in Maggie's Soap Nuts releases quickly into hot water, and more slowly in cold water. |

 We invented the personal computer, the internet, radio, television and even cold fusion technology, which is now being explored as low-energy nuclear reactions (and despite what you may have heard, cold fusion is quite real and replicable. In fact, cold fusion is being duplicated right now in more than 80 laboratories around the world, including many in Japan, where low-energy nuclear reactions are being used to heat water.)
We are also great inventors of software and web-based application services. I think America produces the most innovative software in the world. |

 Thus, a pale woman with perpetually cold hands and feet, a pale tongue, and terrible menstrual cramps, could be readily diagnosed as a person with excess yin in China, while her cold, pallor, and problems in menstruation would suggest an excess of phlegm in the West, and kapha in India. Healers in each system could then gain deeper insight into the nature of the patient's complaint by further extending their exploration of cosmological correspondences. |

 What you are achieving with the transition from hot to cold is a movement of lymphatic fluid and blood to the surface of the skin with heat, then toward the center of the body with cold, back again to the surface with heat, and so on. The way to do this at home is in the shower. Stand in the hot water for 5-8 minutes until you are nice and warm, and have rinsed off. Then begin to crank the water back toward cool for about one minute, then to hot for one minute, and so forth about seven times, ending on cool water. |

CHAPTER 1
Mutable Matter
Few places in the galaxy are as cold as the helium-dilution refrigerator in Tom Rosenbaum's lab. Temperatures in the refrigerator—a room-sized circular apparatus with a number of cylinders—can descend to a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, almost -459 °F, three thousand times colder than the farthest reaches of outer space. For two days, liquid nitrogen and helium circulate around the refrigerator, and then three pumps constantly blasting out gaseous helium take the temperature down to the final rung. |
| Biofeedback is particularly useful to treat Raynaud's disease, a vascular condition in which blood vessels are constricted when exposed to cold, causing extremities to grow cold, pale, and even blue.43
During a biofeedback treatment, a patient is hooked up to a computer. Transducers applied to different parts of his or her body send information to a visual display, which registers activities of the autonomic nervous system, such as brain waves, blood pressure and heart rate, or muscle contractions. |
