There are three rules to being a good honest professional when it comes to vaccines and they are,a) See no evil, b) Hear no evil, c) Speak no evil.
Break any one of these rules and you are on a slippery slope to professional suicide. Not only will big pharma try to destroy you, so to, will every newspaper known to man, your governing body and even your own friends and colleagues. Play to the rules and you will become rich and successful. So why is it that there are some professionals, who despite being discredited, professionally dissected and left on the scrap heap by the medical profession and their peers,still continue to speak out time and time again against vaccines and the pharmaceutical companies who manufacture them?

While foreign accent syndrome (FAS) has been linked to damage in certain brain areas of the person sounding foreign, scientists now say that this condition may lie in the ears of the listeners.
This proposition comes after a team of researchers found two people with no trace of brain damage who have nevertheless sounded foreign since childhood.
Peter Marien, a neurologist at Middelheim General Hospital and the University of Antwerp, Belgium, who led the study, said that the new finding could prompt neurologists and linguists to rethink the origins of FAS and may even point towards a genetic cause.
"There is no such thing as one simple recipe that explains what happens to a person who has foreign accent syndrome," New Scientist quoted him as saying.

Women are under-represented in clinical cancer research published in high-impact journals, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Taking into account the incidence of particular types of cancer among women, studies included a smaller proportion of women than should be expected. The analysis looked specifically at studies of cancer types that were not gender specific, including colon cancer, oral cancers, lung cancer, brain tumors and lymphomas.

Building on research first done in Canada, human experiments are underway to test using jolts of electricity to the brain to keep obese people from overeating.
Deep brain stimulation involves boring through the skull and implanting electrodes the width of uncooked spaghetti in regions of the hypothalamus believed to control hunger and satiety, or feelings of fullness.

The diabetes drug Avandia significantly raises the risk of both heart failure and bone fractures, but it does not boost the odds for either cardiovascular disease or death, new research has found.
If anything, the drug may slightly lower the overall risk of death, said the authors of the much-anticipated RECORD study, which was presented Friday at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in New Orleans and published simultaneously online in The Lancet.
"The findings essentially are that, in overall cardiovascular terms, the drug is safe," Dr. Philip D. Home, chairman of the study steering committee and a professor of diabetes medicine at Newcastle University in Britain, said during a Friday news conference. "There's no decreased risk, and that includes the heart failure element. If anything, deaths were reduced with rosiglitazone [Avandia] compared to those in the control group. It doesn't reach statistical significance, but it's on the right side of benefit."

Fresno - The ancient purple carrot is returning to its roots, this time to dye processed foods rather than the robes of Afghan royals.
Researchers in California are preparing for increased demand for fruits and vegetables that pull double duty as dyes as the deadline approaches for when the European Union will require warning labels on foods synthetically colored.
"There's a mad dash in Europe to get synthetic dyes out and put natural ones in, and it's coming across the Atlantic," said Stephen Lauro, general manager in Anaheim of ColorMaker, which turns beets, berries, cabbages and carrots into dyes for products such as Gerber toddler foods and Tang breakfast drink. "It was dumb luck and we stepped into it."

Eddie Freas fights drug addiction by putting all his energy into training for triathlons.
He swam 2.4 miles. He biked 112 miles. He ran 26.2 miles. The Pennsville, New Jersey, resident found relief in triathlons.
"I feel better when I'm working out," said Freas, 33. "It does wonders for the mind. The reason I started running -- it was a switch that went off in my head. I started feeling positive and feeling great about myself."
Freas spent his youth in pursuit of drugs. At the age of 13, he snuck bottles of Amaretto and rum from his mother's liquor cabinet. He also developed a taste for marijuana and cocaine. By his senior year of high school, Freas was kicked off the wrestling and football teams after failing a drug test.
Then in 2007, after a three-day binge, "I came home and was crying," Freas said. "I was so depressed. I turned on the TV." The set was tuned to ESPN, which was airing a story about a former drug addict who competed in triathlons.
The program's subject was Todd Crandell, who had lost a college hockey scholarship because of a drug addiction. After 13 years of using drugs, Crandell started competing in Ironman races and championed finding positive ways to fight addiction through his program called Racing for Recovery.
Despite recent national initiatives to encourage healthy eating habits, teens in middle adolescence are eating fewer fruits and vegetables than in 1999, a new study reveals. And the situation only worsens as teens get older.
GAO Says FDA Fails to Ensure Accuracy and Truthfulness of Food Labels FDA Urged to Develop Simple, Front-Label Nutrition Symbol
Washington - A new report from the Government Accountability Office gives federal food regulators failing marks when it comes to preventing false and misleading labeling.
The GAO report found that while the number of food firms and products has increased dramatically, the Food and Drug Administration's oversight and enforcement efforts "have not kept pace." The FDA is supposed to conduct label reviews when it inspects foreign food firms, but in 2007 only inspected 95 firms overseas (there are tens of thousands) and in only 11 countries (out of 150 that export food to the U.S.)

Comment: Helping morbidly overweight people slim down, or Alzheimer patients retain their memories are laudable goals. But let's remember that medicine is one of the more potent tools of the PTB. If it can be used benignly, it can be used evilly also:
