Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs" Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Imagine a nation where Whole Foods stores are stripped of all herbs and supplements, where vitamin shops are emptied and abandoned, where books that promote herbs are bulldozed into large piles and burned, where natural healers are rounded up and "disappeared" into incarceration centers. This is the future that will become reality if the FDA has its way. The plan has been explained to us in plain language. Any agency that openly states "vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug" has quite simply lost its marbles. We're are now clearly being regulated by clinically insane bureaucrats.

In the past, doctors have told men that they have to fix hernias because of the danger of incarceration leading to gangrene," says Fitzgibbons. "Those data were based on historical times when medical care wasn't immediately available," he adds. "For men who have little or no symptoms from a hernia, it is safe to defer having an operation until they do have symptoms," says study coauthor Dr. Olga Jonasson, a professor of surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago. COMPLICATIONS FROM SURGERY Jonasson notes that hernia surgery can cause complications.

The center customized a nutritional supplement regimen for Randy's particular needs, and he was permitted to take the supplements during his incarceration. Over the next two months, Randy's behavior improved significantly. He became more athletic, had fewer violent thoughts, and had no scuffles with other people. At the end of the third month, Randy was symptom free and was allowed to return home and to school, where his grades became better than average. His behavior at home and school substantially improved, and he showed no signs of violence or sadism.

The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention Dawson Church See book keywords and concepts

Explanations like better policing or longer incarceration are inadequate to explain such a marked shift. The answer comes from an unlikely source: The establishment of legal abortion on demand. When unwanted children could be aborted, many accidental or unplanned pregnancies were ended this way. Women who were economically or psychologically unable or unwilling to raise their babies had the option of abortion. Many exercised their new legal right. This meant that most of the babies born were wanted by the mother, father, or both.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation Charles Barber See book keywords and concepts

Thomas More, a psychiatrist who used to be a visionary scientist but now considers himself just an old-fashioned "psyche-iatrist"—a "physician of the soul, one of the last survivors in a horde of Texas brain mechanics, MIT neurone [sic] circuitrists"—is released from federal prison after two years of incarceration for selling prescription amphetamines at a truck stop.

Natural Health Solutions Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

Clearly, the protection of Big Pharma markets is its top mission, and senior FDA officials will apparently use any means necessary, including threats of incarceration, to achieve their goals of keeping high-profit drugs—even known killer drugs—on the market as long as possible. It's also clear that many of the FDA's own drug safety scientists are, in fact, champions of public health, and that if they were allowed to make decisions on these matters, Rezulin, Vioxx, and many other dangerous drugs would have never been approved at all.

He spent 14 months in jail and, in an ironic twist, it was due to the expert testimony of a psychiatrist about the adverse reactions to the drugs he was taking, that the teenager escaped extended incarceration and was released from jail under community supervision for five years. Along with his traumatized classmates, Baadsgaard survived to tell the story. How many others won't? 1 Monica Davey and Gardiner Harris, "Family Wonders if Prozac Prompted School Shootings" New York Times, March 26, 2005. 2 Physicians' Desk Reference, PDR 2005 59 Edition, Eli Lilly Prozac, pp.1873-78. 3 Ibid, pp.

If he is convicted, the international community is expected to cooperate in finding prison facilities for his incarceration. Taylor's trial stands to demonstrate the strength and effectiveness of universal jurisdiction. If no country is exempt, if no bank account is sacrosanct, if no murderous rampage is sufficient to cover their tracks, dictators (and their cronies) will be held responsible for their actions. There will be no escape, no comfortable retirement.

The unauthorized history of Coca-Cola (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The Coca-Cola Company imports eight tons of coca leaf from South America each year -- a substance that, if carried into the country by any regular citizen, would result in their arrest and incarceration for "drug trafficking..." It's no coincidence that the name "Coca-Cola" starts with the name of the leaf used to manufacture cocaine: the coca leaf. From the late 1800's, Coca-Cola contained varying amounts of cocaine (about 60mg of cocaine per serving in 1900) all the way up until 1929, when cocaine was finally removed from its formula.

Marijuana under attack for causing memory problems, say forgetful drug researchers (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It sounds more like an agenda that uses science to support the War on Drugs and the continued incarceration of thousands of Americans whose only crime is getting high in the basement of their parents' house. I'm no supporter of marijuana or any recreational drug, but if using marijuana to feel better is a crime, then why isn't the same standard applied to prescription drugs? If you think marijuana destroys your memory, you should try statin drugs sometime.

Medicine at gunpoint: Seattle mother arrested for "kidnapping" her own baby to seek alternative treatments Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

She was the mother who dared to rescue her baby from the scalpels of overzealous surgeons, and her incarceration reveals the blatant truth about the motives of hospitals, doctors and the entire system of modern medicine: Comply with our medicine, or we will punish you. As is being pointed out by many critics of Carlsen's treatment, the idea of whether her baby's condition demanded urgent medical care is not relevant. It is the right and responsibility of every parent to choose what kind of treatment their child should receive, even if certain health experts disagree with such a decision.

Mood Disturbances and Violent Behavior: A sub-optimal intake of lithium might be a predisposing risk factor for mood disturbances, violent behavior, and possibly even incarceration. Lithium might have a favorable effect on the prevention of violence and other associated crimes. In a 1990 study by G.N. Schrauzer and K.P. Shrestha, the drinking water of 27 Texas counties was analyzed for its lithium content. Normally, lithium in drinking water should range from 70-170 mcg/L.

Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet Jeremy P. Tarcher See book keywords and concepts

With market fundamentalism in full bloom since the Reagan era, we've seen a rush to turn over to private companies essential functions long considered public responsibilities—from the incarceration of prisoners, to the schooling of children, to the control of the world's water. Already, sales of water worldwide total one-third again as much as pharmaceutical sales.26 We've also cut back government's role in regulating industries in the public interest. To cite just one example, in the '90s a new federal system for inspecting meat was developed with help from the meat industry itself.

During the last twenty years, the incarceration rate for nonviolent crimes in the U.S. has tripled to 1.2 million. As governor of Texas, George W. Bush has overseen more executions than in any state at any time. As U.S. president, Mr. Bush has revoked any sensible policy on the environment, labor, justice and compassion for life. We Americans have no universal health care, outmoded election laws and a Supreme Court which can now exclude from office winners of popular votes in close elections' such as the 2000 Bush-Gore fiasco.

This does not include the cost of legal proceedings, incarceration, or police fringe benefits. Fringe benefits alone are generally figured at three times salary. A truer accounting figure of arrest costs would be much higher. There are over 20 federal agencies enlisted in the fight against marijuana use. These include: FBI, CIA, DEA, Immigration & Naturalization Department, Navy, Air Force, Army, Agriculture Department, Customs, Post Office, U.S.

Others prisoners who never used illegal drugs before their incarceration are being introduced to these highly addictive psychoactive prescription drugs and finding they are developing addictions to these drugs. We should be greatly concerned over this whole new group of sertonergic drugs as they are affecting the very neurotransmitter which, when disrupted by this chemical interference could be causing or intensifying addictions and compulsions. What will happen to society when these prisoners are released?

Dangerous Grains: Why Gluten Cereal Grains May Be Hazardous To Your Health James Braly M.D. and Ron Hoggan M.A. See book keywords and concepts

Further, most dietary intervention research cannot reasonably include the incarceration of their human subjects in a locked facility. There are some reports of research where containment on a locked ward was already in place, but this feature was undermined by the practice of allowing visitors to bring food to patients during the experiment. This work clearly shows some of the difficulty with dietary research. Because of the general perception of the harmlessness of foods derived from gluten and dairy products, it is also difficult to control for outside contamination by staff members.

An onset of alcohol dependence before a person's twentieth birthday doubles their likelihood of incarceration for criminal violence," according to Hibbeln, "and quadruples their likelihood of attempted suicide." The connection between early onset alcoholism and violence, Hibbeln contends, can be traced to irregularities in serotonin, a chemical in the brain that may be at the root of both. Scientists cannot yet directly measure serotonin in the human brain, but they can do the next best thing by tracking fluid drawn from the spinal canal (cerebrospinal fluid).

In an interview with CBS, Joseph Pursch, CompCare medical director, claimed that no such incarceration could ever have occurred, given the strict medical controls CompCare imposed. One might think that CompCare would have been apologetic or defensive about this case. Quite the opposite occurred.

Preventing pregnant women from smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illegal drugs— by random drug testing and incarceration if necessary—might also help a great deal. I'm not proposing that we do these things. The end doesn't justify the means. Marital status and drug consumption are examples of confounding variables. In making comparisons between countries, all the confounding variables—not just the presence or absence of socialized medicine—must be considered. Probably the most important variable is genetics.

Diseasing of America: Addiction Treatment Out of Control Stanton Peele See book keywords and concepts

The arrestees—most often younger men—are given the choice of incarceration or submitting to treatment in which they are forced publicly to admit that they are alcoholics. But others besides drunk drivers are now often referred to treatment. Heavy drinkers convicted of felonies from writing bad checks to child abuse to rape have been placed in treatment rather than in prison—in several cases, murderers have been remanded for court-ordered alcoholism treatment.29 Rapidly growing employee assistance programs (EAPs) have the potential for reaching even more people.

Although she defecated in the street and acted bizarrely when homeless, Brown came across in press conferences as she fought her hospital incarceration (during which she was medically judged insane) as an aware, self-controlled person, as though being offered respect and a facilitative environment could almost instantaneously eliminate her psychosis. On the other hand, after she was once again forgotten after this case and relegated to single-occupancy residences, she again developed problems and was arrested for possession of a hypodermic syringe and other drug paraphernalia.

Costs of enforcement include costs of educational programs, arrests, incarceration and judicial proceedings but they do not reflect the indirect costs of those laws. Not surprisingly, in 1976 when the state of California decriminalized penalties for marijuana possession of one ounce or less, they estimated they may have saved as much as $74 million per year over what the state had previously been spending to enforce the laws.

Those who received fewer than 32 treatments had a 17% lower rate of incarceration during the first four months after release from jail.26 • In treatment programs begun in the state ofWash-ington, acupuncture participation correlated with reduced drug use (as much as 50% compared with patients who did not use acupuncture).

The bill prescribes mandatory incarceration, for at least five years, of "every person who is convicted in a federal court of a crime of violence against a person or a drug trafficking felony, other than simple possession." A crime of violence is defined as the "use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another." The bills would also suspend protection from unreasonable search and seizure; excessive fines, bail, or punishment; and the right to be brought to trial.

Aggressive action is part of the American ethos: football is the most aggressive of national sports; the rate of violent crime is far higher in America than in any of the other industrial democracies; and the rate of incarceration of Americans far exceeds that of any other industrial democracy, rivaling those of the former Soviet Union and the Union of South Africa. Nor does the violence come only from the high violent crime rate of the American underclass.

Aggressive Behavior Allopathic control consists of incarceration, behavior modification, and psychiatry. Doctors who try a more natural control would search for heavy metal poisonings (the hair test is valuable for these metals), especially copper, lead, and cadmium. Bach flowers, homeopathy, and eliminating food allergies are worthwhile pursuits. Dr. William Walsh, Ph.D., found that violent criminals had high levels of lead, cadmium, iron, and calcium, and lower levels of zinc in their hair than normal people.
