Flashback Merck vaccine scientist Dr. Maurice Hilleman admitted presence of SV40, AIDS and cancer viruses in vaccines.

One of the most prominent vaccine scientists in the history of the vaccine industry - a Merck scientist - made a recording where he openly admits that vaccines given to Americans were contaminated with leukemia and cancer viruses. In response, his colleagues (who are also recorded here) break out into laughter and seem to think it's hilarious. They then suggest that because these vaccines are first tested in Russia, they will help the U.S. win the Olympics because the Russian athletes will all be "loaded down with tumors." (Thus, they knew these vaccines caused cancer in humans.)

This isn't some conspiracy theory - these are the words of a top Merck scientist who probably had no idea that his recording would be widely reviewed across the internet (which didn't even exist when he made this recording). He probably thought this would remain a secret forever. When asked why this didn't get out to the press, he replied "Obviously you don't go out, this is a scientific affair within the scientific community."

In other words, vaccine scientists cover for vaccine scientists. They keep all their dirty secrets within their own circle of silence and don't reveal the truth about the contamination of their vaccines.

More People Prefer The Internet For Diagnoses Over Their Own Doctors

As more people become distrustful of pharmaceuticals and conventional medicine, many are going online to self-diagnose rather than waiting for a doctor's appointment. More than 78% of men and women seeking health advice from the internet can properly diagnose their condition in less than 8 minutes.

According to Andrew Liu, head researcher for the Online Diagnosis Project, "the internet is now the primary point of inquiry for adults and even teenagers with health concerns, and the accuracy of self-diagnosing online is quite surprising," said Liu.

The most common inquiry is searching for symptoms and seeking natural therapies for those symptoms. Liu says this is the most impressive part of his research. "What is most remarkable is that people are not self-medicating with black market drugs, but they are seeking alternative therapies, treatment, supplementation, herbs, and natural remedies to cure or ease their condition," he added.

Liu surveyed more than 28,000 teens and adults through direct questionnaire and found positive and accurate consistencies in diagnoses in approximately 78% of respondents. All of those respondents averaged just under 8 minutes in finding their exact symptoms and condition from a variety of websites and internet searches.

Less than 20% were found to misdiagnose or misrepresent their condition when they approached their physician. Almost all respondents had the symptoms and associated condition they found online to be confirmed later by their physician. A large percentage, 68% of respondents did not accept medication for their condition from their physician and instead opted for natural therapies.

Harvard School of Public Health researchers have discovered that older adults may be at increased risk of being hospitalized for lung and heart disease, stroke, and diabetes following long-term exposure to fine-particle air pollution.

This is the first study to look at the link between long-term effects of exposure to fine particles in the air and rates of hospital admissions, they noted.

Premature Births Soar: U.S. On Par With Third-World Countries

The number of premature births has skyrocketed, according to a new report published by the World Health Organization on Wednesday. Between 1995 and 2010 the number of premature births doubled from 3 percent of all births worldwide to 6 percent -- an increase that requires swift and urgent action to stop, the report said.

Over one in 10 babies -- 15 million -- were born premature in 2010, according to the report. Approximately one million of those died shortly after birth, making premature birth the number one cause of infant deaths worldwide. Millions of other preemies are afflicted with physical or mental disabilities resulting from an abbreviated gestation period.

Even being born two weeks early can have devastating consequences. The report considers any baby born before full-term, 39 weeks, to be premature, and found that babies born at 37 weeks have a death rate twice as high as full-term babies.

"Pranic Nourishment": Swiss woman starved after 'eating' only light

A woman living in the east of Switzerland who believed she could survive on light alone was found starved to death, it has emerged.

Anna Gut (not her real name) was in her early fifties when she saw the film, In the beginning there was light, a documentary in which two men claim to survive entirely on light, newspaper Tages Anzeiger reported.

The film, which ran in Swiss cinemas in 2010, portrayed two men, 62-year-old Swiss Michael Werner, an anthroposophist with a doctorate in chemistry, and 83-year-old Indian yogi Prahlad Jani. Both men claimed to derive sustenance from spiritual means rather than the intake of food.

Werner claims he has lived this way since 2001, while Jani says he has lived for 70 years not only without food but also without water.

Anna Gut started her long preparations for the process by reading a book by another proponent of "breatharianism", 54-year-old Australian Ellen Greve, who also goes by the name Jasmuheen, or eternal air.

Low oxygen levels could drive cancer growth

Low oxygen levels in cells may be a primary cause of uncontrollable tumor growth in some cancers, according to a new University of Georgia study. The authors' findings run counter to widely accepted beliefs that genetic mutations are responsible for cancer growth.

If hypoxia, or low oxygen levels in cells, is proven to be a key driver of certain types of cancer, treatment plans for curing the malignant growth could change in significant ways, said Ying Xu, Regents-Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and professor of bioinformatics and computational biology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

The research team analyzed samples of messenger RNA data - also called transcriptomic data - from seven different cancer types in a publicly available database. They found that long-term lack of oxygen in cells may be a key driver of cancer growth. The study was published in the early online edition of the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology.

Previous studies have linked low oxygen levels in cells as a contributing factor in cancer development, but not as the driving force for cancer growth. High incidence rates of cancer around the world cannot be explained by chance genetic mutations alone, Xu said. He added that bioinformatics, which melds biology and computational science, has allowed researchers to see cancer in a new light. Gene-level mutations may give cancer cells a competitive edge over healthy cells, but the proposed new cancer growth model does not require the presence of common malfunctions such as a sudden proliferation of oncogenes, precursors to cancer cells.

French Government Sentenced To Pay 3 Million Euros In Benefits For Vaccine Damage

It took 17 years, but the French state council has acknowledged that 95% disability in 5-month-old baby was caused by a vaccine, sentencing the government to pay over 3 million Euros in benefits.

The Pentacoq vaccine, withdrawn from the market on 22nd December 2005 and replaced by another, was used for five infectious diseases: whooping cough, haemophilus influenza type b (aka Hib), diphtheria, tetanus and polio. In 1995, 5-month-old baby Ines was prescribed and given this vaccine in compliance with the legally-required vaccination schedule in an attempt to prevent whooping cough, one of the diseases covered by the five-part Pentacoq vaccine.

Two other components of the vaccine are also legally required. One week later, Ines was rushed to hospital for serious neurological complications which were not fatal but left her 95% disabled due to acute rhombomyelitis, "attributable to administration of the Pentacoq vaccine," the State Council finally proclaimed after 17 years of deliberation.

Shaking Up The Salt Myth: Healthy Salt Recommendations

Image
As you may realize by now, salt has had a very colorful history, both in the development of human civilization as well as public health politics in the past century. While salt was originally prized by many cultures for thousands of years, in the past century it has been demonized; some have gone as far as calling it the single most harmful substance in the food supply. Yet as we know, sodium plays a crucial role in optimal health, and too little salt intake can be dangerous in the long run.

In Shaking up the Salt Myth: The History of Salt, I described the history of salt production and use, and its place in the Paleolithic and Neolithic diets. In The Human Need for Salt, I explained the physiological roles of salt in the human body and the basic dietary requirements for salt. In The Dangers of Salt Restriction, I examined potential negative health consequences of restricting salt unnecessarily. In When Salt Reduction May Be Warranted, I described conditions in which salt restriction may be necessary, and other minerals that are essential in determining blood pressure.

In this final article, I will describe the types of salt I recommend, and how much salt is ideal for most people.

Whooping Cough Outbreak Strikes Washington State

More than 1,100 cases of whooping cough have already been diagnosed this year in the state, nearly doubling the number seen in typical peak years.

Washington state is gearing up for one of the worst epidemics of pertussis in nearly 70 years. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes a nasty cough. It is particularly dangerous for young infants.

Public health officials have confirmed more than 1,100 cases of whooping cough so far this year in the state. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported this year, but 20 infants have been hospitalized with the illness.

Comment: According to Dr Mercola: "It's a good time to reflect back on the SCARE that was created over people not getting pertussis vaccines. Now it's been revealed that those vaccines require six follow-up booster shots just to continue to work ... if they work at all. More likely than not, the vaccine provides NO protection in any case, as the strain that is causing the damage is not actually in the vaccine."

How Nestle Gerber Poison Babies With Genetically Modified Ingredients

© Prevent Disease
Parents who feed their newborn and young babies any of Nestle Gerber's product lines are risking their infant's health by exposure to an abundance of toxic genetically modified (GM) ingredients that the company claims are "safe."

I personally contacted Nestle about their GM ingredients and the representative told me that the GM ingredients were safe and that the FDA in the U.S. and Health Canada had both approved the ingredients in infant formulas for cereal based infant foods. The GM ingredients include:
soy, corn, potatoes, canola oil, soy lecithin, plant proteins, maltodetrin, corn sugars(dextrose, fructose, dextri-maltose, etc.), and corn syrup
The representative stated that I could "switch to the gerber organic product lines if GM ingredients are a concern." She also stated that the organic lines were "slightly more expensive and geared toward a different demographic" which I found to be a very odd statement to make to a consumer (which is what I represented myself as). Since that conversation I regret not asking "what demographic would that be?"

None of their products require GM labeling, so most people have no clue about the toxic GM ingredients unless they're informed on the subject.

If we take a closer look at the product lines, you'll find GM ingredients in almost every baby cereal and formula they offer.
