 A lot of senior citizens are taking calcium supplements but not getting sunlight, so the calcium is passing right through their bodies. As a result, they're losing bone mineral density. However, by adding vitamin D to the equation through sunlight (remember, your skin generates vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure), senior citizens can start assimilating calcium and rebuilding their bones.
This is information that doesn't get told to senior citizens, and modern doctors don't even understand it. They think that you treat osteoporosis with drugs, which is ridiculous. |

 A study from Boston University tracked a group of 640 senior citizens to determine the role of nutrients in osteoarthritis risk. About half started out the study with arthritic symptoms. By the end of the eight-year study, it was evident that those who took in the most vitamin C from food and supplements were three times less likely to end up with arthritis or to have worsening symptoms. Joint pain was also much less in those who consumed more vitamin C, a natural anti-inflammatory.

 It has taken actions such as raiding a bus load of senior citizens returning to the U.S. from Canada, searching the elderly for legal drugs. The FDA has gone to great lengths to pressure U.S. customs to seize pharmaceutical shipments being imported for sale to individual consumers in the United States, and it has even invoked the fantasy-based fear tactic of suggesting that terrorists might adulterate pharmaceuticals coming to the U.S. from Canada (and therefore we should all buy our drugs only from U.S. monopoly-controlled pharmacies because of "terrorists"). |

 This includes children, teens, adults and senior citizens. It's a brilliant way to sell hundreds of millions of doses of a dangerous injected substance that nobody actually needs, and it's all made possible by the doorknob scare campaign! (And if doorknobs aren't convincing enough, they can start scare stories about public toilet seats instead.)

 Approximately one-third of senior citizens suffer from atrophic gastritis, a condition in which they don't produce enough stomach acid. A lack of stomach acid interferes with the absorption of vitamin B12. Like folic acid, vitamin B12 is involved in the production of DNA, which is needed to make new brain cells.
Drugs such as omeprazole (Prilosec), which reduce gastric acid secretion, also lower B12 absorption. In addition, antacids, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and the use of nitrous oxide anesthesia during surgery can reduce B12 levels. |

 Mills was hailed by senior citizens' groups as one of the fathers of Medicare, which was a good sign for his presidential hopes. Physicians, on the other hand, threatened to boycott the program. They would go to jail, said many doctors, before they would fill out a government reimbursement form. |

 A list of the best-selling drugs among senior citizens shows three ACE inhibitors, but no diuretics. We have replaced the inexpensive drug with an expensive one.
Third, ACE inhibitors do have a limited effect in reducing the risk of heart failure and death from strokes. The HOPE study found that the treated group suffered fewer heart failures (9% compared to the 11.5% for the placebo), fewer deaths from diabetes (6.4% compared with 7.6%), and fewer deaths from all causes (10.4% to 12.2%).24 A meta-evaluation of five major studies involving more than 12,000 patients found similar results. |

 What's a little ectasy in children's toys when senior citizens on medications are dropping faster than the U.S. dollar?
Corporations first, consumers last
The truth in all this is stupidly obvious: The U.S. government really has no interest in protecting consumers from corporations. Whether we're talking Big Pharma, food companies, toy manufacturers or even financial issues, virtually the entire United States government is aligned against consumers in a pro-business stance that sacrifices the lives of Americans for corporate profits. |

 Is it really just to help senior citizens?
This plan really has two purposes: First, it makes President Bush popular by making sure he has lots of handouts for senior citizens, a demographic that happens to have a high number of active voters. Secondly, it's a big Bush handout to campaign supporters, notably Big Pharma. You see, drug companies have supported the Bush administration for years, and this is a great way to thank them, by actually having the government steal money from taxpayers and send that money to pharmaceutical companies. It's legalized inter-generational theft. |
| The big news is that this program is so darn confusing that the federal government had to expand its toll-free help hotline from a couple hundred staff members to 4,000 staff members just to answer questions from senior citizens who can't figure out which plan to join. The administration of the plan is falling flat on its face as well, because when senior citizens go to pharmacies and try to buy prescription drugs, it turns out that their name isn't in the computer where it's supposed to be. |

 Why is it that 50 percent of our senior citizens in the United States have high blood pressure? Why is it that 40 percent of our senior citizens are now clinically obese? I'm willing to bet that a similar percentage may have nervous system disorders or early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Most of them are probably metabolizing some form of cancer right now, even though it may not have been diagnosed yet.
We are a nation of diseased individuals, and that disease starts very early. There are 12-year-old children who have atherosclerosis. |

 Thus, these drugs can be considered a major risk of dizziness and falling, and therefore, bone and hip fractures among senior citizens. In 1994, the British Medical Journal published a study showing that diuretics (drugs used to lower blood pressure) cause an 11-fold increase in diabetes. As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1993, ACE inhibitors (a group of pharmaceuticals that are used primarily in treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure) can cause potentially fatal kidney damage and even death, if they are given too soon after a heart attack. |
| The research clearly implies that senior citizens are overmedicated, and not just for blood pressure. Just as we have seen with blood cholesterol levels, a normal blood pressure among the elderly population is naturally higher than it is for the younger population. Lowering their blood pressure with medications that have harmful side effects is not only harmful to their brain cells and other parts of the body, but it is highly unethical, too. |
| According to a recent study, this situation has escalated into a very serious problem: 20 percent of all emergency room visits are made by senior citizens suffering drug-related side effects or interactions. Another problem is overdosing on the medications. One 2002 study identified 2.2 million cases of seniors taking more than the recommended dosages of their medications. The only solution to this problem is assisting the elderly to deal with the root causes of their health problems, rather than encouraging them to suppress the symptoms of their ailments. |

 THE LIFE LIST
Much of the public discourse on aging focuses on baby boomers becoming senior citizens and the belief that their vast numbers will take an unprecedented toll on the health care system, in the form of dementia and other costly health problems. But I don't believe we're stuck with this picture of doom and gloom. Despite my generation's familiarity with fast food and pay per view, we also came of age with Kenneth Cooper's revolutionary concept of aerobics. |

 Here's something else to consider: 51 percent of all senior citizens in nursing homes are given antipsychotic medication and yet less than one half of 1 percent have ever been diagnosed as psychotic. The horrors continue.
It's clearly arbitrary to classify people by a term that makes them seem abnormal. I am very concerned about any group that has the sole power by such non-scientific terminology to say someone has a disease. |

 The end game of all this is to apply Gunpoint Medicine tactics to everyone: Adults and senior citizens included. Anyone suffering from high cholesterol, for example, who does not submit to Big Pharma's statin drugs could be arrested, strapped to a table and medicated against their will. People with cancer could be arrested for choosing to treat that cancer with safe and effective botanical medicines instead of patented, high-profit Big Pharma drugs. |

 Even the blood serum levels of thyroid hormone in those thriving senior citizens register on the extreme hypothyroid scale, which means they're the animal equivalent of high-efficiency, low-polluting "engines." In other words, these older folks got to where they are by slowly but surely reducing their metabolic rate. This energy efficiency is exactly what your genetic autopilot wants when it sends out signals to reduce muscle mass as you age so you'll eat less. The lower your metabolic rate, the less food you need to eat. |

This is information that doesn't get told to senior citizens, and modern doctors don't even understand it. They think that you treat osteoporosis with drugs, which is ridiculous.

| Some of these older adults are students from local colleges (including my university, Case Western Reserve); others are senior citizens with memory challenges, some of whom have received Alzheimer's diagnoses and pills for their condition. One such volunteer is Mrs. Mary At-wood, a Cleveland resident who has been volunteering as a reading mentor for the last four years. Mrs. Atwood received a diagnosis of AD nearly five years ago. Ever since, she—AD label and all—has been one of our most steady volunteers and has helped dozens of children learn how to read. |

Americans now spend more than $200 billion a year on prescription drugs, and the largest consumers are senior citizens. Our faith in the pharmaceutical industry is powerful. We rarely pause to think: What exactly are loved ones with memory challenges putting into their bodies? How were our current drugs developed? How much can we expect of them, and of the stem cell treatments and amyloid vaccines we hear bruited about with such promise? Are there complementary and alternative treatments that offer more promise? |

FDA police state tactics: Searching and detaining senior citizens
The FDA recently conducted a raid on a busload of senior citizens returning from Canada to buy prescription drugs they simply couldn't afford in the United States. Elderly people were ordered off the bus while the vehicle was searched almost like a cocaine raid. But they didn't have cocaine, they had medication. They were buying 100% legal drugs in Canada and being treated like common criminals by U.S. health authorities for daring to go outside the monopoly drug racket operated in the United States and protected by the FDA. |

 If we just had enough vaccines to shoot up all the babies, and enough cholesterol drugs for all the senior citizens, and enough antidepressants for all the middle-aged people, we'd all be healthier, they claim. And the way to get more people healthier is to push more drug ads, to mandate more vaccinations and require more "mental health screening" of schoolchildren, just in case they might need ADHD drugs.
Sound insane? It is. And don't believe for a minute that modern medicine is based on anything resembling real science. The science was abandoned decades ago. |

| Although generally dismissed as "safe," the huge numbers of prescription drugs—especially those that alter brain chemistry—being consumed by toddlers, adolescents, mature adults, and senior citizens do a great deal of proven harm.
