Talking

I was very impressed when I saw the clear, concise facts presented in your article. I deal with clients on a daily basis, who claim all sorts of flakey things help them. Thank you for a wonderful and to-the-point article. And like I tell my clients "Dog poop is organic and all natural but you won't see me take it, in liquid or pill form!"

good article except it seems to justify not eating vegetables; i think he went a little too far when he put down broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and potatoes. what about water?

the real truth

This article is an outrage, rife with myths and inaccuracies which have been promoted by ill informed albeit well meaning (and sometimes well informed and not very well meaning) members of the medical/health establishment, and continuosly parroted by other health "experts" which have been educated by that very medical/health establishment. Of course, there are others who couldn't care less about your health as long as you purchase their health products.

Although there are too many "issues" in this artical of propaganda to address each one adequately, I'll just address some of the more dangerous ones:

The Cancer Fraud.

The only real cancer fraud occurring today is that promoted by the AMA, ACS, and FDA, and all of their facilitators and subordinates who are getting extremely wealthy on the "established" cancer treatment protocols that include invasive surguries, radiation, and chemotherapy with virtually no meaningful efforts in cancer prevention.

Although surgury can be effective when a cancer has yet to matastasize, once spread to other parts of the body, removal of the cancer does a lot more for the pocketbook of the surgeon and hospital than it does for the health of the patient. Radiation, and chemotherapy on the otherhand does so much damage to the body that one is almost guaranteed to develop another cancer later down the road due to the extreme cell damage from such "treatment".

We all have cancer cells in our bodies....cancer only develops when their is a deficiency or malfunction in the body allowing those cancer cells to replicate. Radiation and chemotherapy destroys the immune system when the rational and logical course of action would be to do the exact opposite.

To ignore the most extreme and intentional infliicting of poisons into the body as is the case with chemotherapy while citing Vitamin D toxicity is totally absurd, and absolute hogwash. In the case of vitamin D, you'd have to consume huge mega doses daily for an extended length of time to cause any problem whatsoever...in other words, you'd have to intentionally overdose. Yet, the RDA for vitamin D is 200 iu's which has no therapeutic value, while exposure to sunlight produces 10,000 iu's well within an hour, naturally. Of course, more and more people aren't getting this natural and therapeutic amount due to the fear mongering about UV radiation and skin cancer.

The true facts are: Vitamin D IS a cancer preventative, and sun exposure prevents skin cancer in large measure via vitamin D. The real dangers of, and the dramatic increases in skin cancer is directly associated with the steadily increasing use of chemical sunscreens which began in the 1970's. The technical issues explaining how this is so is out there, and becomming more mainstream science. However, the myths that have become "tuths" through continuous marketing die slowly, and you still hear the guy on the weather channel say "It's going to be hot a sunny today, so don't forget that sunsceen.....use a minimum of an SPF 30 or better".

So, ladies and gentleman, the experts are telling you to stay out of the sun, and if you can't, then just smear on gobs of sunscreen lotion to protect yourself. And be careful with that dreaded vitamin D......you don't want to overdose on that stuff. Translation: The cancer industry and their associated professions have Billions of dollars riding on you developing cancer and recieving their cancer treatment, and no incentive whatsoever for cancer prevention or cure.

Another case in point: this artical tells the outright lie that vitamin B-17 (laetrile) has no therapeutic value with regard to cancer. Tons of evidence suggests otherwise, but you'd better not say so openly, otherwise the FDA will come down on you're a criminal. Fact is, vitamins and other supplements are not allowed to make any medicinal claims of disease prevention or treatment.....only pharmaceuticals can....according to the FDA, regardless of actual truth. It's an outrageous scam between big pharma and the FDA, and it's costing hundreds of thousands of lives for their profit.

I wish people would wake up. This information is out there and available. Don't take anyone's word, including mine. Investigate for yourself so that you know the truth instead of letting someone else tell you what to believe.

As a side note, the artical talks about how the other "natural" sweetners are
just as bad as table sugar, and that maybe be true to one degree or another, but the danger of table sugar (aside from those suffering diabetes) doesn't begin to remotely approach the dangers of artificial sweetners like aspartame and it's close cousins, none of which should be considered as anything other than pure poison to be avoided at all costs.

If it weren't so sad it would be funny......the vast majority of protein powders marketed to us healthy folks looking to be as healthy as possible with good exercise routines and otherwise healthy diets, contain these poisons. Be careful, buy only those containing natural sweetners or better yet, those that use "Stevia" which is the only proven safe sugar substitute.

I could go no ranting for days about this outrageous artical which is full of propaganda peppered with a few truthful statements.

Yes, the fish oil caps i have been taking are the cause of cancer.. they did clean out my arteries, but I probably should stop taking them.

Vitamins? Who needs them? I got my diet soda right here full of everything my body needs to grow strong.

Fruits and veggies? they taste horrible and do nothing for the body. Hungry? Grab a snickers.

don't forget to check out the next article.. 'Water, friend or foe'
