New study shows that cancer screening does not save lives

Millions have marched for "cancer causes." Millions more have been diagnosed "early" and now believe screening saved their lives. But a new study confirms something we have been reporting on since our inception: In most cases, screening not only has not "saved lives," but actually increases your risk of dying.

An extremely important new study published in the British Medical Journal titled, "Why cancer screening has never been shown to "save lives"—and what we can do about it," confirms something we have been reporting upon at GreenMedInfo.com since our inception, namely, cancer screening has not lived up to its long held promise of "saving lives" because disease-specific reductions in mortality do not equate to reductions in overall mortality. Worse, in some cases overall mortality actually increased because of screening.

In the new study, Vinay Prasad and colleagues, argue that the real benchmark for the success of any cancer screening program is if the "early stage" cancers being diagnosed and treated actually result in a reduction in the overall mortality.

Bacteria resistant to all drugs shows up in Denmark

Bacteria resistant to all antibiotics have arrived in Europe, and experts fear it could be the start of a global epidemic of untreatable infections.

Last month, we reported on a gene mutation called MCR-1 that had shown up in bacteria in China. The mutation is resistant to all antibiotics, including colistin, a last-resort drug used to tackle tough bacteria when all other antibiotics have failed.

Comment: To make matters even worse for US citizens, the US just repealed a labeling law that required retailers to include country of origin on pork and beef products: Want to know where your meat comes from? Too bad, thanks to Congress

black seed
Commonly referred to as black cumin or caraway, black seed is actually more of a description than a proper name, yet is preferred because it helps to distinguish it. Many health experts claim that it is, indeed, a true healer in many forms; able to help cure almost every illness known. People have used the seed to make medicine for over 2000 years and more than 600 peer-reviewed studies have validated most empirical evidence.

Besides black cumin and caraway, black seeds are also referred to as black sesame, onion seed and roman coriander.

Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) is capable of producing over 20 distinct pharmacological actions it expresses, such as:

The state of your tongue can give you clues to your overall health

tongue diagnosis
In certain traditional medicines, one of the main tools practitioners use for determining the cause of someone's illness is through tongue diagnosis or evaluation of the tongue. The tongue is the first step on the digestive tract, which stretches for about 30 feet. By scanning the tongue, we are able to determine what is happening under our inner digestive skin.

Inner digestive skin refers to the skin that lines our digestive tract. It is also the most important factor in determining our overall health. Here is a short list of some of the most important things our healthy inner digestive skin is responsible for:
  1. Hosting of trillions of beneficial microbes
  2. Where 95% of the serotonin for mood health is derived
  3. Where 80% of the immune system is found
  4. The protective barrier to ward off environmental toxins
  5. The delivery of all vitamins, minerals and nutrients
  6. Regulates genetic and epigenetic changes to the human genome

Mom of vaccine injured daughter says 'it's not just about autism'

"Choosing not to vaccinate is not just about autism," reads one of the signs being held up by Ella's mother. The short clip tells Ella's sad vaccine injury story through a series of poster boards. Ella encountered and endured numerous side effects from vaccines and now her mother wants the world to know what really happens. She wants everyone to know what the real risk involved are.

Autism is only one risk incured when you vaccinate your child. There are many more risks involved for children who are forced to vaccinate by parents and pediatricians and day cares. Autoimmune conditions, seizures, transverse myelitis, encephalitis, anaphylaxis, SIDS, just to name a few potential vaccine injuries. Ella's mother has one sign which points out how difficult medical exemptions are to come by, you practically have to be already vaccine injured in order to get one. This is a sad state of affairs we live with today.

Comment: Vaccines are not safe now and never have been. There is no good excuse not to be informed.

Texas school triples recess time and sees immediate positive results in kids

Recess is a lot more than just a free break for kids to play after lunch period. That free, unstructured play time allows kids to exercise and helps them focus better when they are in class. Now a school in Texas says it took a risk by giving students four recess periods a day, but the risk has paid off beautifully.

According to Today, the Eagle Mountain Elementary in Fort Worth, Texas, has been giving kindergarten and first-grade students two 15-minute recess breaks every morning and two 15-minute breaks every afternoon to go play outside. At first teachers were worried about losing the classroom time and being able to cover all the material they needed with what was left, but now that the experiment has been going on for about five months, teachers say the kids are actually learning more because they're better able to focus in class and pay attention without fidgeting.

Official: Toxic plume is spreading far away, it's a national disaster
CBS News, Jan 3, 2016: "I've been nauseous. I've felt lethargic," said his mother Christine Soderlund. "My kids have had nosebleeds, they've had headaches... It's surreal... We are a living science experiment I believe."
Porter Ranch Town Hall Meeting, Dec 28, 2015:

Rex Paris, attorney (16:30) — "It's the most massive gas blowout, gas well blowout, in a populated area in history. This has never happened before in a populated area. And so when they tell you that "It's not damaging", "It's just temporary" — whatever nonsense they're feeding you — understand, nobody knows. It's never happened before... This can be deadly. Make sure you're getting treated... Nobody knows what breathing this stuff constantly is doing to [the children]... The gas company says, "This is just the smell you're reacting to, it's just temporary, it's not a problem, it's not serious" — these people aren't stupid. How could somebody possibly say that? We have children whose noses are bleeding every day, we have people who suffer from chronic headaches [and] are nauseous every single day. How does that not become a serious issue? Why are they saying something nobody here believes?... They're trying to convince everybody that it's all in our heads. It's a trick."

Mitchell Englander, Los Angeles City Councilman (45:30) — "I will tell you this goes well beyond Porter Ranch. We've had complaints from as far as Chatsworth, Northridge, and Granada Hills. Apparently this plume of toxic chemicals and whatever it might be doesn't know zip codes. So it does keep moving into different locations and different places... This is the equivalent of the BP oil spill on land, in a populated community... We've declared a national disaster here."

Dr. Richard Kang, pediatrician (52:45) — "Unfortunately the only real way to get away from the symptoms is, unfortunately, you have to relocate - you have to get away from the environment."

Question

If flu vaccines are so safe and effective, why are so many nurses refusing them?

Nurses refuse vaccines
If you are a nurse in the US and refuse the flu vaccine (one the CDC has even admitted doesn't always work, largely due to fast mutations and too slow of production) then you have to wear a face mask while on duty. Despite the fact that multiple studies have also shown that flu vaccinations are ineffective and do not offer any extra protection for hospital patients, hospitals are forcing the issue on some of their most prized employees.

Some nurses are choosing to lose their jobs instead of being forced into receiving a vaccine. Others are fighting back by suing the hospital, state, and federal governments for $100,000,000 for trying to take away their constitutional rights.

Dr. Karen Sullivan Sibert, herself a pro-vaccine doctor, wrote an opinion piece explaining how requiring nurses to wear masks for refusing the flu vaccination violates HIPAA law for patient privacy. More importantly, it forces our front lines in the healthcare industry to take a concoction with numerous questionable ingredients, including known neurotoxins like aluminum, foreign proteins derived from GM ingredients, and more.

Comment: Doctors and scientists who are not under control of the pharmaceutical cartel and who have done independent research agree that flu vaccines are far less effective and cause more side effects than the CDC admits. The vaccines can actually depress the immune system, making people more susceptible to catching the flu.

Mayor Livio Tola told the town's high school and elementary school to return to using cables to connect to the internet after reading that the electromagnetic waves given off by wireless routers were especially harmful to young children.

"It's not that we're against technology, our choice is merely a precautionary measure," La Stampa reported the mayor as saying.

"We cannot say with certainty if these electromagnetic waves are dangerous for children or not," he added, acknowledging that there was still a lack of scientific consensus on the issue.

Myths about the safety of psychotropic drugs

Myth # 1: "The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) tests all new psychiatric drugs"

False. Actually the FDA only reviews studies that were designed, administered, secretly performed and paid for by the multinational profit-driven drug companies. The studies are frequently farmed out by the pharmaceutical companies by well-paid research firms, in whose interest it is to find positive results for their corporate employers. Unsurprisingly, such research policies virtually guarantee fraudulent results.
