Fortify Your Mitochondria with the Awesome Foursome
We know that mitochondria can indeed, be fortified, nurtured, fertilized and strengthened. Although the researchers of the rat study didn't mention it, I can tell you from my clinical experience with patients experiencing profound cardiovascular disease that the addition of these awesome foursome nutrients make things work better. |

As limited as the estimate of exposure was, NIOSH had an even harder time pinning down the extent of heart disease that had occurred, since its inspectors were not provided access to health records for most of the former employees. In the end, all that NIOSH could or would say about carbon disulfide exposure and the heart disease deaths at Teepak was that "among younger workers (50 years old or younger) there appears to be an association. |

In fact, geopathic stress as an indicator of or a possible causative factor in cancer and other diseases is now taken so seriously in parts of Germany that officials have begun to keep health records for individual homeowners, presumably those whose houses have been identified as situated over or near areas of high geopathic stress.
Now that we have reviewed the links others have made between Earth fields and health, let's look at what NES research and theory have revealed about this correlation. |
| Finding no obvious mechanism for the cancer rate, such as environmental hazards in air or water, they decided to commission a medical study that compared the health records of residents to dowsing charts that pinpointed geopathic stress hotspots in the area. They discovered that there was a strong correlation between sources of geopathic stress and the incidence of cancer.3 Other studies elsewhere in Germany and in Austria have shown a similar correlation. |

In 1996 Japanese researchers took a long look at the health records of nearly 2,000 men who had labored in poison gas factories between 1927 and 1945.15 They compared their chances of getting cancer to those of the general population. These poison gas workers had five times more lung cancer than those without such exposure.
Other evidence of the lingering impact of poison gas on the lungs comes more recently from Iranian soldiers exposed to a single heavy dose of mustard gas during the Iran-Iraq War in 1986. |
| For almost one hundred years the South African Medical Bureau for Occupational Diseases had kept meticulous health records on all those who ever worked in mining. Soskolne had earned his fellowship at Penn by designing the software that made this century's worth of records accessible on a computer, winning a national award for revolutionizing the country's occupational health research.
Now Soskolne was under contract to Exxon to create a similar database for the workers at its refinery in Baton Rouge. |
| They reviewed health records through 2002 of about 421,000 people who had first signed up for private use of cell phones between 1982 and 1995. A "cell phone user" in the study was anyone who made a single phone call a week for six months during the period 1981 to 1995. The study kicked out anyone who was part of a business that used cell phones, including only those who had used a cell phone for personal purposes for eight years.
This research design raises a lot of questions. Why did they not look at business users—those with far more frequent use of cell phones? |

The current trend is toward chronic illness among today's youth, even in countries that have had excellent health records until recently. This trend is so pronounced today that, should it continue unabated, almost all resources of future governments will be spent on "sickness care." Michael Moore's famous documentary movie, Sicko, released in June 2007, made an excellent presentation about that trend, although it fell short on telling us how to become and stay healthy. |
| This is quite a surprise, given the fact that not so many years ago, the Mediterranean countries had some of the best health records in the world. This doctor also told me that almost every child in Cyprus had at least once or twice received a course of antibiotics to suppress an infection. Such a practice was unheard of in Cyprus before the 1970s.
Almost every modern country in the world is now reaping the deadly consequences of unhealthy habits and inappropriate medical treatments. The United States spends about 1. |

Since federal law does not allow access to patients through doctors' offices or health records, Judith had to be creative. She examined old tax records to find those who had lived in the area and moved, then, if she was able to track them down, she asked about their health status. She arranged for billboards to be raised alongside the highways in the vicinity. The signs showed three African-American women standing side by side and big bold letters saying "We live near 858 E. Ferry St. We all have Lupus. Are you sick too? Take 5 minutes and call Judith to join the registry. |

Elina Hypponen and her colleagues at the Tampere School of Public Health in Finland analyzed health records of babies who were born in 1966 in Oulu and Lapland, Finland, to check for development of type 1 diabetes. This landmark analysis showed an 80 percent reduction in occurrence of type 1 diabetes among those who were receiving vitamin D at 2,000 IU per day. Those in the study who didn't take vitamin D and developed rickets as children had a 200 percent higher risk than compliant children of developing type 1 diabetes.
Unfortunately, this evidence didn't make a big impression on the Finns. |

Making matters worse, because the majority of school shooters are minors, health records (including mental health data) are sealed by the courts, leaving the public at the mercy of news reports that rely on regurgitations of gossip, rumor and opinion. Often what is known, or what is released to the public about the adolescent's mental health state, is as oblique as "the shooter had been receiving psychiatric help. |
| The 60-page Interim Report discusses many aspects of the shooters' lives but, despite having such detailed information as the shooters' health records, failed to make mention of psychiatric drug use. |

In order to do so efficiently, we must centralize our medical care and health records with the help of a primary-care physician, as I described in the previous chapter. But there's another important step. Let us now look at the next vital link involved in the use of prescription medication—the pharmacy.
The Pharmacy Connection
Pharmacists are a critical link in the chain of protection against an adverse drug reaction. Being trained in the actions, interactions, and safety of medications, they are the final safety net for prescription drugs. |

According to American health records, the incidence of heart attacks per one hundred thousand people was none in 1890 and had risen to 340 by 1970. Although deaths did occur from other forms of heart disease, including calcified valves, rheumatic heart, and other congenital defects, the incidence of actual blockages in the arteries causing a stroke or heart attack used to be minimal.
Even more worrying is the fact that heart disease is occurring earlier and earlier. |

UPDATE: It was not until 1990 that the Department of Energy provided access to the workers' health records at Hanford. One of Mancuso's associates, Dr. Alice Stewart, finally had the opportunity to complete the research after 14 years of stonewalling by the government. By then, the Hanford plant had been closed because of environmental and safety problems. Stewart's new study, the first independent study of the health records of the 35,000 Hanford workers, presents a new, more sinister picture of the risks of small doses of radiation. |

I told him that public health records indicated that incidence was, indeed, rising rapidly—even when increased reportage was factored in. Our current generations are being ravaged by the disease.
One major reason for the increase is that people are living longer. The older you get, the greater your chances are of developing Alzheimer's.
I also believe, however, that the incidence of Alzheimer's is rising because of factors related to the Cortisol connection. More than previous generations, it appears, our present population is being decimated by stress and its biochemical ramifications. Why? |

In 1961 the scientists compared health records of 1300 students with how many apples they ate and found that the most dedicated apple eaters over three years made fully one third fewer calls to the university's health centers than non-apple lovers, and had less upper respiratory infection, and less tension and sickness in general than was expected.
ANTICANCER AGENT
Whole fresh apples may help ward off cancer because they are shot through with caffeic or chlorogenic acid, which blocks cancer formation in lab animals dosed with potent carcinogens. |

In many nations with better health records than the United States, including Switzerland, England, Germany, and Austria, vaccines are optional.'2
At the same time, I recognize that the majority of human beings on this planet live in situations where the use of vaccinations can alleviate an enormous amount of suffering. Half a million unvaccinated children in West Africa will die this year from measles, and many millions more will survive the disease but suffer mental retardation. |

I thought about the health records of doctors. They have more problems with drugs and alcohol, and a higher suicide rate, than their patients. They feel more hopeless than their patients and die faster after the age of sixty-five. No wonder many people are reluctant to go to mainstream physicians. Would you take your car to a mechanic who couldn't get his own car to run?
The Simontons taught us how to meditate. At one point they led us in a directed meditation to find and meet an inner guide. I approached this exercise with all the skepticism one expects from a mechanistic doctor. |

Put it in a file, keep it as part of your own permanent health records, and keep track of any sudden or gradual changes over the years. If for some reason you need to change doctors, you won't lose track of the information.
What do all those figures mean? A typical blood test printout may have one or two pages of incomprehensible abbreviations or biological terms. Well, you already know a few things to look for, like total cholesterol levels, HDL and LDL levels, and triglyceride levels. I'll give you some rules of thumb about how to evaluate them. |

As we have seen, however, the health records of the Hunzakuts, and Eskimos, and other groups around the world are statistically conclusive that vitamin B17—together with other substances associated with it in nature—does control cancer in human beings with an effectiveness approaching 100%. But what about cancer that already has started? Can B17 restore a person to health after he has contracted the disease?
The answer is yes, if it is caught in time, and if the patient is not too badly damaged by prior X-ray treatment or toxic drugs. |

Stewart's new study, the first independent study of the health records of the 35,000 Hanford workers, presents a new, more sinister picture of the risks of small doses of radiation.

There were simply no birth or death certificates, no health records, no census data—alas, no written language. The best documentation was people's estimates of their age at the 1892 British invasion or simply asking the Mir (king), who had to keep several thousand birthdays in his head. It was pretty flimsy data, not what a gerontologist would want to hang his or her hat on. Validation of claims was impossible; all that was left was observation and opinions—the weakest form of evidence.9,10
It was essentially the same story with the Vilcabambans of the Ecuadorian Andes. |

In fact, when they reviewed ten years of health records at a Greenland hospital serving 2,000 people, they found not a single death caused by a heart attack. Eventually, Bang and Dyerberg were able to show that one of the primary reasons for the healthy hearts of the Eskimos was that their diet was high in omega-3 fatty acids, which, among other benefits, slowed the formation of blood clots. |

"I did not know that evening primrose oil was not on the GRAS list since you could get it in health food stores. I'm getting it from Efamol—I don't want to be caught in the middle of some adversarial goal. Apparently, evening primrose oil was the point of contention. I was trying to find out if there is GLA from another source that wouldn't be hopped on by the FDA—I haven't been able to find out anything."
Thomas:

The IHF study examined 6,000 Quebec asbestos miners' health records for evidence of lung cancer. They found none. However, they had ignored one of the cardinal principles of such studies: the twenty-year time lag between first exposure to an agent causing lung cancer and the clinical appearance of the disease. This is known as the twenty-year rule for lung cancer. According to Dr. |
