In this important announcement, Peter C. Gøtzsche, the recently ousted co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration, explains why he is creating an Institute for Scientific Freedom -- something GreenMedInfo stands 100% behind. Please read, share, and consider contributing to this independent, crowd-funded project.

Scientific freedom, honesty and integrity are constantly under attack, particularly in healthcare, which is dominated by the drug industry and other economic interests. As I have documented in my books and elsewhere, the result of this is that our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, and that the use of psychiatric drugs does more harm than good. Science journalist Robert Whitaker has shown that, in all countries where this relationship has been examined, the amount of people on disability pension because of mental health problems has increased at the same time as the use of psychiatric drugs has increased. Psychiatrist Peter Breggin has shown that likely all psychiatric drugs can cause long-lasting brain impairment, which may explain why the use of these drugs makes it difficult for people to live a normal life.

Bad posture in front of your computer can lead to pain and injury - here's how to correct that

Before you get any further in this article, take a moment and notice your posture. Are you sitting (or standing for that matter) with your spine curved forward, shoulders hunched, and with your head tilting forward to look more closely at your phone or computer screen? If so, researchers at San Francisco State University say you're probably not doing yourself any favors.

Writing in the journal Biofeedback, a team of medical professionals say that this seemingly harmless posture could be compressing your neck, leading to fatigue, headaches, poor concentration, increased muscle tension, and even injury to your spine over time and limiting your ability to turn your head.

This is your cue to sit up straight.

"When your posture is tall and erect, the muscles of your back can easily support the weight of your head and neck - as much as 12 pounds," explained Professor of Holistic Health Erik Peper in a statement. "But when your head juts forward at a 45-degree angle, your neck acts like a fulcrum, like a long lever lifting a heavy object. Now the muscle weight of your head and neck is the equivalent of about 45 pounds. It is not surprising people get stiff necks and shoulder and back pain."

Reviving ancestral medicine: For centuries indigenous people have been looking to nature to heal what ails

When an elderly Lakota woman limped into the medical tent, one foot sporting a painful burn, Linda Black Elk knew just the herb that would help. She began boiling yarrow, a plant that blossoms golden yellow and has been prized for its healing properties for centuries. Though she had applied the remedy countless times, Black Elk was startled by her patient's reaction.

"She started to cry," recalls Black Elk, who apologized for causing her any additional pain. "No, these are happy tears," the woman said. "Because I remember my grandmother talking about this plant when I was little, and I remember the Lakota name of it."

Keepers of a once outlawed body of plant lore who have endured centuries of genocide, colonization and repression, Native American healers are working to integrate their traditional medicine with Western approaches to offer patients new ways to heal.

Lab Meat: Big hype, bad investment

Laboratory-produced meat or lab meat-sometimes called "cultured meat" or even "clean meat"-is in the news these days, with gushing articles in the Washington Post, the New York Times and many magazines. The publicity machines are whirring at high speed, and all the chic arguments are on display. "Save the planet bite by bite," is one of the slogans. If we eat lab meat instead of real meat, we'll save the land from the desecration by cattle, cut down on water use, protect the air from cow farts containing methane and forestall global warming. Lab meat would be kinder also, because no animals would be killed.

As one commentator put it:

"Livestock farming is a known contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and deforestation, and a huge consumer of water, energy, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The production of meat through tissue culture could have immense effects in reducing the environmental impact of our agriculture system, minimizing threats to public health, addressing issues of animal welfare, and providing food security. Cultured meat represents the crucial first step in finding a sustainable alternative to meat production."

Hospital in Sweden closed after patient is suspected of carrying ebola

The patient has been isolated at Uppsala hospital being suspected of carrying the Ebola virus, Swedish media outlet SVT Nyheter reports. The Enkoping hospital has been promptly closed for fear of staff potentially being exposed.

As Voice of Europe reported last week, there is concern about inadequate preparedness for when a new epidemic erupts.

The national health authorities in Sweden have chosen to keep a low profile on discussions on the virus to avoid causing concern among citizens, having not coordinated government initiatives leaving it to county councils whether they increase their preparedness.

The deadly Ebola virus is transmitted to humans from wild animals and according to the World Health Organisation it has a 50 per cent rate of fatality.

More than 11,000 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone died of the virus between December 2013 and April 2016.

The Health & Wellness Show: IV Vitamin C: The Miracle Cure You're Not Supposed to Know About

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient obtained from food and supplements. It is frequently the go-to supplement used for viral infections such as the common cold and flu. One downside with oral vitamin C supplementation is that only a small percentage is absorbed by the body and large doses can cause gastrointestinal upset making its efficacy hit or miss. Enter IV (intravenous) vitamin C. This master antioxidant can be absorbed at 100% when given IV. Vitamin C given by this route is not just effective for viral and bacterial illnesses but can also be used to treat a wide range of ailments not limited to Lyme Disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, burns, wounds and various types of cancer -- yes, Cancer -- thought to have a poor prognosis.

Vitamin C has a long track record of being beneficial to one's health so why isn't it used in every hospital in the world? It's cheap and effective with few side effects but it is still seen as a 'fringe' treatment and its use is actively blocked by mainstream medical professionals.

Join us for this episode of The Health and Wellness Show where we'll discuss this miracle molecule and why it should become one of the main tools in your health arsenal. Also, stay tuned at the end of the show for Zoya's Pet Health Segment where the topic will be excessive licking or grooming in cats.

Sex differences are real: Men more likely to die of brain cancer

RT
Fri, 04 Jan 2019 14:27 UTC

A new study shows that men are more likely than women to die of brain cancer because of fundamental differences in the way the cancer develops, with important implications for the future of treatment.

Men diagnosed with cancer have been proven to die more often and more quickly than women, which led researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to find out why. Their conclusion was that very different processes are at work in brain cancer-causing tumors depending on the host's gender. Although the researchers focused on the relatively rare type of glioblastoma, they believe that other cancer types will be shown to work the same way.

The study, titled 'Brain tumors' battle of the sexes' and published Wednesday in Science Translational Medicine, shows that the role of gender in the development and treatment of this type of cancer goes far beyond hormones or lifestyle differences, which vary depending on a person's age and region of the world.

Las Vegas man gets the flu shot - one day later he's blind and paralyzed

Shane and Monique Morgan

A Las Vegas man became partially paralyzed, lost his vision and the ability to walk just one day after receiving the flu shot.

He's been hospitalized for the last 2 weeks. At one point he was even put on a ventilator and in the ICU and his family blames the flu shot.

Shane Morgan went from perfectly healthy to unable to speak, walk, or breathe on his own.

At the start of November, Shane and his wife Monique like most couples were planning for the holidays, and with family and young infants coming to town they decided to get the flu shot.

"About 36-hours after he got the flu shot he started to get sick," Monique said as she sat next to her husband in his hospital bed.

Shane started complaining that he couldn't feel his legs or arms so his wife rushed him to Centennial Hills Hospital, where he spent 4-days on a ventilator in the ICU.

Report finds promoting low-fat diets has had 'disastrous health consequences'

The Sydney Morning Herald
Tue, 24 May 2016 18:12 UTC

Urging people to follow low-fat diets and to lower their cholesterol is having "disastrous health consequences", a British health charity has warned.

In a damning report that accuses major public health bodies of colluding with the food industry, the National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Collaboration call for a "major overhaul" of current dietary guidelines.

One expert said promoting a low-fat diet is 'perhaps the biggest mistake in modern medical history resulting in devastating consequences for public health.'

They say the focus on low-fat diets is failing to address Britain's obesity crisis, while snacking between meals is making people fat.

Instead, they call for a return to "whole foods" such as meat, fish and dairy, as well as high-fat healthy foods including avocados.

Comment: When listening to the messenger, always take note of who the messenger works for. All the "experts" citing the 'balanced diet, fat increases cholesterol' line are from mainstream medical institutions or shills for the industrial food industry. The evidence is overwhelming that humans evolved eating large quantities of meat and fat with little to no carbohydrates.

U.S. Congressman Mark Green: More research 'definitely needs to be done' on vaccines

Physician Mark Green of Clarksville, Tennessee was elected last month to the U.S. House of Representatives. He is scheduled to be sworn into his new post on Jan. 3, 2019.^1,2

In the last few weeks, the newly elected congressman was inducted into the brass knuckle world of political correctness when he dared to step out of line and publicly voice his concern about the safety of vaccines.

Rep.-elect Green, 54, graduated from Wright State University School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio and did his residency in emergency medicine at Fort Hood, Texas. He served as a special operations flight surgeon in both Afghanistan and Iraq. For his military service, Green was awarded the "Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medical with two oak leaf clusters, the Army Commendation Medal with two oak leaf clusters, the Achievement Medal with three oak leaf clusters, the Air Medal with the V Device for valor under heavy enemy fire while rescuing British Special Operations forces wounded near Fallujah, Iraq and the Combat Medical Badge," as well as other awards.^2,3

After his military service, Dr. Green founded an emergency room management company called Align MD, which he later sold to American Physician Partners, LLC. He also founded the Two Rivers Medical Foundation, "which operates two free medical clinics, and serves on the board of two nonprofit organizations that care for soldiers and their families as they return from war."^2,3
