But without our national media recognizing and reporting our escalating national health crisis and the perpetrators of our demise, we fail to understand the enormity of our dilemma. Our national media — newspapers, radio and television networks, which once served to keep us informed of important events, is now used against us to promote that which sickens us instead of that which can rescue us. The media deceive us, motivate us to buy what is injurious to our health, and suppress the proponents of chemical-free solutions to our problems. |

This result received a great deal of attention in the national media, because it suggested that patients with CFS or FM had a disease of the nerves to their heart and blood vessels. The publicity about this delayed neurogenic hypotension was such that many patients went to their doctor asking to get tilt testing.
As I have explained, science advances when important results can be replicated by other people in other laboratories. Several groups, including our own, tried to duplicate the tilt-testing result but came up empty-handed. We had two explanations for the discrepancy. |

Five months later: The murder trial:
15 February 2005—In a story that received national media coverage, a teenager who blamed the antidepressant Zoloft for his violent behavior was convicted of killing his grandparents when he was 12 years old. Pfizer, which has fourteen criminal cases pending, welcomed the decision. "Zoloft didn't cause his problems, nor did the medication drive him to commit murder. On these two points, both Pfizer and the jury agree?''
Whatever their effectiveness, one thing is sure: SSRIs are used more than ever to treat depression in children and adolescents. |

Yet when the national media fails to cover this story, it insults the value of life for the victims of Big Pharma. Apparently, lives are only newsworthy when they are ended in fiery explosions, but not if they die silently in bed as victims of an overzealous pharmaceutical industry that continues to knowingly promote dangerous drugs using unethical (if not outright fraudulent) marketing practices.
So for those who might argue that by me making this comparison, I don't value the lives of the victims of terrorists in London, I beg to differ. |

Diseases Associated with Electrophysiological Malfunction
The flow of electrical currents and impulses in the brain follows regular patterns and these can be recorded on an electroencephalograph (EEG). Patterns observed in healthy individuals are different or disturbed in several CNS disorders. |

This study of Dutch coffee drinkers did not compare coffee drinkers to healthy non-coffee drinkers; thus, while this study made national media headlines, it is misleading.
Navy Seals, intentionally sleep deprived and placed under a variety of intense physical stress, had significantly better cognitive function and performance with the assistance of 200 mg of caffeine.228 It is safe to assume that due to the needed level of physical fitness, most Navy Seals do not suffer from leptin resistance. |

These doctors are not publishing this information, they are not trying to get on television explaining the truth about this because they know they will be attacked, and they will be in many cases jailed for curing cancer without chemotherapy, drugs, and radiation.
The national media continues to attack me and all those people who are trying to get the truth exposed. It drives me crazy when I see news reports from people who say that natural methods don't work. |
| This pipeline of money from corporations to lobbyists to politicians is now being exposed on a major scale in the national media.
My book explains that politicians use government agencies such as the FTC, the FDA, and various consumer protection boards to spread misinformation, false information, and lies about individuals and companies that are affecting the profits of the large multinational corporations. These agencies do this under the guise of trying to "protect the public." Nothing is further from the truth. |

Even operations such as the national media and, yes, book publishing as it is currently organized, may not survive in a nation short of energy, crippled in transport, sinking in production and trade, challenged in food production and distribution, and plagued by political crisis.

Several years later, and soon after the national media had a field day with the reported negative effects of conventional estrogen replacement therapy, marketers of maca shifted strategies and are today marketing maca as the "new HRT alternative" for women—sure to increase estrogen and treat menopause symptoms. Once again, maca sales are strong. Unfortunately, maca will not live up to this new marketing claim either.
There is no doubt—maca is a wonderful source of natural vital nutrients. |

Meanwhile, you the viewer have been directed to focus on the things the national media wants you to focus on: big explosions and "acts of terror" that can be exploited to politically justify practically any military action in retaliation... including actions that ultimately kill thousands of times as many innocent civilians in other countries.
You know why plane crashes, terrorist bombs, and high-rise fires get lots of media attention? Because they sell newspapers and attract more viewers. |

Jokes ran rampant in the national media. The Cleveland Press, for example, wondered why Ford did not strengthen his plastic by adding spinach. Other newspapers opined that the new substance could be put to better use in battleship armor and the manufacture of coffins.11 Though Robert Boyer, a Ford executive, drove the soy-plastic car for a few weeks, he eventually abandoned it because of "a strong odor reminiscent of a mortuary. |

And I'm outraged by a national media that's so tied to drug company advertising revenues that we'll probably never be able to repeal direct-to-consumer advertising (which is partly responsible for this Vioxx mess).
It's time for serious action. It's time to go after these criminal pharmaceutical executives and charge them with the crimes they have committed against humanity. It's time to hit these companies where it hurts: right in the pocketbook. It's time to put Merck and its competition out of business for good... |

Its rise to fame came after the national media reported clinical research showing that SJW is safe and effective for treating mild to moderate depression. The Greek physician Hippocrates (ca. 460-377 B.C.E.) was one of the first to speak of the health benefits of SJW. Preparations include teas, alcoholic tinctures, and tablets using either the plant in its crude form or standardized preparation. SJW is typically standardized to contain a consistent level of hypericin (0.3%), or hyperforin (3-5%), two naturally occurring chemicals found in the plant. |

The man sued his former employer and won a large settlement, in a drama that played out in the national media over several months. Confronted with this and similar isolated, horrifying, and well-publicized episodes, all the Jims and Jennys across the country are receiving health benefits from those they trust least with the details associated with those benefits—their own employers.
This returns us to our central point: an employer-based health care system is stupid. |

Frost, which recently received national media attention. Judge Frost was convinced that the Christmas of 1995 would be his last. But thanks to a new concept in cancer treatment called biochemotherapy, he is alive and cancer-free to celebrate more Christmases with his family.
The 54-year-old retired judge was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in April 1995. His surgeon removed cancerous lymph nodes and referred him to the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Saint John's Hospital, Santa Monica, for follow-up treatment.
In May 1995, the doctors there discovered cancer in Frost's left lung and brain. |

The news conference receives widespread national media coverage. A number of television reporters use a Clorox bottle to illustrate "dangerous" products produced with chlorine. The Environmental Protection Agency decides to reevaluate and severely tighten its regulations on the use of chlorine in manufacturing, causing . . . negative media coverage.
Objective: Working with other manufacturers and the Chlorine Institute, (1) forestall any legislative or regulatory action; and, (2) Maintain-customer and consumer loyalty. |
| The Pentagon held the national media Pool captive on a US base in Panama for the first five hours of the fighting, by which time the heaviest action was already over. Outside of Pentagon pictures spoon-fed to journalists, little real information reached the American public. In El Chorrillo, the desperately poor neighborhood in Panama City where General Manuel Noriega's headquarters were located, at least 300 civilians died in the attack and resulting crossfire, some burned alive in their homes. Aside from the victims and US Army film crews, however, no one was allowed to observe the attack. |
| After reporters protested the news blackout, the government proposed creating a "National Media Pool." In future wars, a rotating group of regular Pentagon correspondents would be on call to depart at a moment's notice for US surprise military operations. In theory, the pool system was designed to keep journalists safe and to provide them with timely, inside access to military operations. In practice, it was a classic example of PR crisis management strategy? |

I personally believe that had the study involved an expensive and dangerous treatment requiring extensive physician training, a high risk to patients, and an expensive hospital stay, the cultural mythos would have required the results of the study to be carried by the national media. Because the selenium represented such a simple, safe, and effective solution to a complex problem like cancer, the results were largely ignored by both the media and the medical community. |

Even though the ones I experienced were minor tremors, hardly worthy of notice in the national media, they were enough to give me a terrifying sense of what "The Big One" will be like when it comes.

The Perfect Case
Notwithstanding the dramatic issues and allegations at stake for reporters everywhere, the lawsuit has generated almost no national media attention and only a few stories in the Florida press — most of which are couched in timid "he said, she said" language that is sure to please Monsanto. One editorialist could not resist putting quotation marks around the word "facts" in discussing the case: "The 'facts' at issue were as slippery as a just-milked cow.... |

Such a shift would be consistent with legal doctrine, consumer values, the medical educational role of the national media, consumer and patient activity on the Internet, and common sense. Why not make one law—or no law—instead of thirteen, or sixteen, or twenty-four? It would certainly make running a national health insurer like Aetna much easier, and thus much less expensive. |

While the response from these government agencies should have been one of some celebration, instead it was one of silence—a silence compounded by the national media. The results did not reveal a seriously deficient educational system in dire need of profound changes such as a nationwide voucher program. Nonetheless, the report was suppressed.
Instead, the Sandia Report revealed a steady or slightly improving trend in public education on nearly every measure employed in the survey. Overall, the 85 percent high school completion rate in the U.S. ranks as one of the highest in the world. |

4. The scientific community fails to agree on the basic premises of the illness, including whether it can actually be identified and separated from normal experience.

One reason for this was offered by Richard Smith, editor-in-chief of Newsweek, who said the national media often have "a kind of dismissive attitude" about stories broken outside the New York-Washington media axis. This is the same attitude that may have led the major news media to disparage the CIA contra-drug involvement, as cited in the update of the "U.S. and its Contra-drug Connection," #2, 1987.

| Nor were the national media quick to report that geneticist Joshua Lederberg, head of the Pentagon panel that earlier dismissed links between biological weapons and the illnesses of Gulf War veterans, was also a director of American Type Culture Collection, the institute that had exported anthrax to Iraq (Newsday, 11/27/96).
As for April Glaspie, after some inconclusive congressional hearings— where she denied her statements to Saddam Hussein, she disappeared into obscurity as an ambassador-in-residence at a San Diego university. |
