Its makers claim that if you take the supplement, you won't get the flu and won't miss...
|
 | 4/21/2010 - Mainstream health care isn't based on "health" or "caring." It's actually based on an ingrained system of medical mythology that's practiced -- and defended -- by those who profit from the continuation of sickness and disease. This system of medical mythology might also simply be called "lies", and...
|
 | 1/30/2010 - This article continues our 15-part article series called Heal Yourself in 15 Days.

|
| 7/15/2009 - The great lumbering health care reform gears are in motion in Washington D.C., and the Big Government machine is spitting out a new recipe for the bankruptcy of America: A "health care reform" bill that pleases all the special interest groups and pharmaceutical companies but does nothing to improve...
|
| 7/1/2009 - I've often asserted that doctors exploit people for personal profit, prescribing drugs and procedures that are medically unnecessary while raking in millions from health insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid.

|
 | 6/24/2009 - Everywhere in western medicine you find the Caduceus symbol: It's the staff entwined with two serpents, with wings at the top. You'll find it emblazoned on medical texts, medical school certificates, medical websites and even in hospitals and medical buildings.
But what does the symbol mean, exactly?...
|
 | 6/23/2009 - America has crossed a new, disturbing threshold with the announcement that Obama's new health care plan will borrow money to pay for health care. In real terms, this means that sickness and disease in America will now be financed on credit.

 | 3/3/2007 - The closer you look at conventional medicine, the more you realize just how much it's based on quackery.

|
 | 7/2/2006 - This commentary is in response to the Medicine at Gunpoint article published earlier, which revealed that conventional medicine is now resorting to kidnapping and the enlistment of gun-toting law enforcement personnel to "persuade" a mother that her infant son should be treated with toxic pharmaceuticals...
|

"Conventional medicine" refers to the classic medical training offered through mainstream medical schools. This is a...
|
 | 4/20/2006 - I was talking to a physical therapist today, and he was trying to convince me that the human body wears out with use, sort of like car parts. He said to me, "Bone is bone."

|
 | 8/17/2005 - There was once a small group of medical doctors (MDs) who wanted to create art.

Using elaborate microscopes and measurement devices, they discovered that art was made up of ink on a canvas. With the help of the best...
|
 | 6/23/2005 - To most Americans, the concept of "nonprofit" goes hand-in-hand with trust. If a person or an agency isn't driven by money, they seem more likely to be trustworthy and unbiased. They should have the public's best interests at heart, right?
The American Medical Association (AMA) is a nonprofit agency...
|

|
 | 6/4/2005 - An interesting thing happened to me today. My car was experiencing some trouble, but I couldn't find any local mechanics that were available, so I decided to take it to an MD.

|
 | 5/5/2005 - Lie #1: Prescription drugs will make you healthier.

|
 | 12/10/2004 - There is a curious tendency in conventional medicine to name a set of symptoms a disease.

|
| 8/17/2004 - Many U.S. citizens mistakenly believe they live in a free society.

Just ask yourself, "What kinds of health choices should I be able...
|
| 8/7/2004 - On this website we discuss the ignorance of western medical doctors and medical institutions with such frequency that it hardly seems unusual to find another case of health ignorance worth mentioning, but every once in a while, another article or news item is released by a so-called "credible" institution...

|
| 8/6/2004 - The public was recently warned about getting information from the internet on cancer prevention and curing cancer. New headlines blared that cancer sites posed a health risk.

|
| 7/28/2004 - There is a lot of information about seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.) available on the internet and in the medical literature today, but most of the information about this disorder fails to inform readers about the real causes of it, and the simple, effective treatments for reversing it.
First,...

|
| 7/21/2004 - It only took 38 years for the American Medical Association, old-school doctors and conservative medical authorities to admit that vitamin supplements are, in fact, necessary for optimum health.

|
| 7/14/2004 - Vibrational medicine is a promising area of "technology" (it's difficult to call it that) that covers a variety of pioneering healing modalities now known to be far more powerful than drugs and surgery in improving the lives of patients. These modalities include:
Phototherapy: harnessing the healing...
|
| 7/13/2004 - Leave it to western medical researchers to come up with something this freakish: they've figure out a way to genetically modify plants to force them to create chemicals that can be used against rabies, AIDS and, eventually, other diseases. If you're steeped in the world of science and western medicine,...
|
| 7/9/2004 - Here's a must-read article for anyone interested in learning how the pharmaceutical industry really operates.

|
| 7/5/2004 - Warning people to stay away from natural sunshine is doing far more harm than good, says a new report by the U.K.-based Health Research Forum.

|
| 1/30/2004 5:32:11 PM - To truly understand the ideology of Western medicine, you have to take a
look at the language used by doctors and researchers. Their choice of

delivery...
|
| 11/5/2003 12:30:08 PM - Here's a study that shows synthetic HDL (the "good" cholesterol) can remove plaque from arteries when injected into patients.
