Proposed Budget to Attend Codex Committee on Nutrition, ’08

By Administrator on October 8, 2008 No Comments

Codex meetings are expensive to attend. They are expensive to reach and expensive to stay, eat and get to and from on the ground. The other countries we visit to further the Natural Solutions Foundation’s relationship building and assistance to the emerging Health Freedom Consortium Members are also expensive to get to and stay in. If you value the Natural Solutions Foundation’s efforts and successes at Codex, click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189) to make your donation to help defray the cost of this expensive, but utterly necessary, presence at Codex.
Thanks,
Yours in health and freedom,

The expenses shown here are for modest accommodations, meals without alcohol and public transportation and taxis.

Lodging
Cape Town, where the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) will be held will be at the Southern Sun Cape Sun Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa. Average daily prices for a two person room (breakfast included) are about $95 per person. Total: $2010 plus taxes
Lodging in the other cities we will vist will cost $2191 per person plux taxes Total: $2191 plus
taxes
Lodging Total Before Tax: $4201 plus tax. Assuming tax @ 20%, Lodging total After Tax: $5041
Airfare
Airfare has been calculated on the basis of business class on long trips, economy on short ones. Since the transportation portion of the trip takes more than 120 hours in airplanes and airports if there are no delays, the type of travel accommodations is very important. General Bert is 78 years old and, while he is in outstanding health, 30 hours for a long legged person like the General is literally torture in economy class seats. General Bert broke his hip skiing in 2001 and cannot walk after being cramped for that many hours in a small space. Flying business class means that when we arrive, General Bert can walk during the next three days. Economy class means that he cannot. Therefore, long flights need to be business class while short ones of 4 hours or less can be economy class.
Airfare Per Person Including Taxes: $ 8816.88
Total Airfare Including Taxes: $17633.76

Food
d
Food cost estimates are based on research into the average cost of meals in each city on our itinerary. The cost per person is Food Costs Per Person $1185
Total Food Costs: $2370

Transportation and Miscellaneous

Transportation: $350
Miscellaneous: $150
Total Transportation and Miscellaneous: $500

Visa Expenses

NJ Dietitian Licensing Gags Others’ Free Speech, Stifles Nutrition Information – to Make You Sicker Longer, and Help You Die Sooner?

It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if you want people to be sick as long as possible, and as profitably as possible, you would want to make sure that they do not know how to stay well?

If you are Big Pharma, or work for them and do their bidding, you will want to criminalize, that’s right, criminalize, telling people about how they can use natural options, like nutrition, to get healthy and stay that way. So what do you do? You convince/buy/rent/bribe state regulators and legislators to do what New Jersey is trying to do right now by passing NJ Assembly Bill A2933 / Senate Bill S1941.

While 46 other states have some sort of Dietitian’s licensing law, New Jersey is trying (like Ohio and a few others) to make Registered Dietitians (RDs) the ONLY people, that’s right, the ONLY ones who can discuss food, food components, nutrition, health benefits and other food related concepts and practices with anyone at all under just about any circumstances (“with or without compensation…”). RDs are the people responsible for the diets served in hospitals, nursing homes and other similar institutions. The pitiful lack of nutritional support and sophistication, to say nothing of life sustaining nutrition, in those feeding situations should make the point all by itself: Whatever it is that RDs do, it is NOT about the advanced nutrition upon which so many of you rely.

If this bad bill passes the Legislature (it has already passed the Assembly committee), nutrition will belong to these untrained people who will be responsible for something called “Medical nutritional therapy” which, according to the statute, means “nutritional diagnostic, therapeutic and counseling services for the purpose of disease management.”

Now, I know that I am only a physician practicing drug free psychiatry and medicine, much of it nutritionally based, for nearly 40- years. I would however, very much appreciate it if someone would please enlighten me what qualifies RDs to practice disease management through nutritional diagnostic, therapeutic or counseling services? Say what? But no one else in a state with this type of law may use the word nutrition, nutritionist, nutrition counselor or similar terms without violating the licensing monopoly and provisions of this statue and this profession. Naturopaths, Biochemists, Nutritionists, Environmental and other Physicians, and all others, would be legally prohibited from discussing food or nutrition with people who need or seek this knowledge.

So give nutritional counseling, disease management, diagnostic evaluations and interpretations and therapy to a group of people whose professional activities make it clear that they are deeply ill-suited for this responsibility and you have a guarantee that people will get sicker sooner and stay sicker longer to the abundant profit of the professional illness care industry, created as a distribution system for the left-overs of the Rockefeller oil empire. Remember that when the allopathic medical system was created, most drugs were coal-tar derivatives, that is, chemicals made from the goo left over when petroleum processing was completed. Rockefeller did not believe that the internal combustion engine would consume his output and he wanted to find a productive use for the left-overs.

This is absolutely consistent with Codex and the FDA’s persistent attempts to prohibit the dissemination of any information which links food and food components (including supplements) with health. If you are old enough, you will recall that before the unanimous passage by the US Congress of the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA), it was literally illegal to combine the words “Food” and “Health” in the same sentence or on a sign like “Health Food Store”. FDA Marshals would break down such signs and burned such books. Yes, here in the US.

Well, when special interests in Congress tried to make ALL dietary and food supplements illegal, the American public rose up and roared “NO!” with such force that the Congress did an about face and passed the legislation which treats supplements as foods and, as such, as not subject to close regulation. DSHEA is certainly not perfect legislation, but it did give us the right to have whatever dose of whatever supplements we want.

It also gave us the right, which we also have through the First Amendment of the Constitution of These United States, to truthful information about the impact of food and food components on health and the benefits to be derived from them.

The FDA, however, was not deterred in its determination to make sure that you do not have that information. Both domestically, through regulation of so called “health claims” and in Codex through regulation of “advertising” and “health claims”, the FDA still seeks to make it a crime, yes, a crime, for anyone to tell you about the health benefits, supported by science.

47 States (if New Jersey joins their ranks), will also limit speech telling you what helps and what heals. That way, your eating patterns will not reflect healthy choices based on scientific information and you will develop the chronic, preventable epidemic degenerative diseases of under nutrition, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO): cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.

The same five diseases are the major killers of those of us who live in the US, Europe and other developed parts of the world. The same diseases are becoming endemic wherever the American diet becomes prevalent. And, of course, it will come as no surprise to you that cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity are the five most productive disease conditions for the illness care industry, keeping hospitals and doctors and, most important, drug companies, afloat and very, very economically buoyant.

You will remember that in my lecture ” Nutricide”
(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634 )

I defined that word as –

1. The death of the body of information about the relationship between health and food and

2. The death of large populations through the manipulation of the quality and availability of food.

You can view that lecture for free on our website, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org , our YouTube channel, http://Youtube.com/naturalsolutions or our special media page, www.NaturalSolutionsMedia.TV.

You can purchase this informative and important disc ( http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=156 ) which also includes a lecture on how to take action by General Stubblebine and a special discussion with two experienced attorney om how the Codex Two Step Process can be used to protect any country in the world against any of the disastrous and ill-advised standards and guidelines created by Codex. Of course, the Codex eBook (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=220 ) is an example of how that Two Step Process works and can be app and is the same document presented to Codex delegates, Ministers of Health and other government officials and heads of state all over the world by the Natural Solutions Foundation.

Congress to the Rescue, Three at a Time

Three members of Congress have taken brave and critically important steps to protect the rights that New Jersey, 46 other states and the FDA are all trying to take away from you. Denis Kucinich (D-OH), Ron Paul (R-TX) and Chris Cannon (R-UT) are on our side with 6 bills of great importance to you.

Your Congressmen and women need to know that these issues are hot buttons for you that you care enough about to write to them on and to mobilize your friends and contacts to do the same. These are deeply important issues.

You know that we spend a good deal of effort bringing your concerns to the US Congress and asking you to do the same through powerful and high-impact Action Alerts. Right now there are at least 6 good bills before Congress to protect your right to know and your right to speak/write/learn about the science of food and health! It is essential that you take a moment to send your Congressmen and women your urgent direction to support mandatory safety assessment and labeling of GM foods here in the US as other countries in the world, NOW INCLUDING SOUTH AFRICA!, require.

Here is a summary of Rep. Kucinich’s exceptionally important GMO safety and labeling bills:

• H.R. 6636, The Genetically Engineered Food Right To Know Act would require mandatory labeling of all foods that contain or are produced with GM material. No such labeling is permitted at this time in the US and the FDA even seeks to forbid truthful “GM Free” labeling!

• H.R. 6635, The Genetically Engineered Safety Act would require that GE foods follow a food safety review process to prevent contamination of food supplies by pharmaceutical and industrial crops. This Act would also require that the FDA screen all GE foods to ensure they are safe for human consumption. No such safety review is permitted at this time in the US.

• H.R. 6637, The Genetically Engineered Technology Farmer Protection Act, places liability from the impacts of GM crops on the biotechnology companies that created the GMOs, and protects farmers from lawsuits by biotechnology companies. No such liability exists at this time for pharmaceutical plants and animals once approval is granted by the acting agencies for the organism and the same is true for non drug modifications as well.

Click http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25920 to pressure your Congressional legislators to support and co-sponsor Denis Kucinich’s 3 excellent bills mandating safety studies and labeling for Genetically Modified foods. let your legislators know that you want their co-sponsorship now. It’s us against the Bio Tech industry, I am afraid. They have money. We have voices. Let’s use them!

If you would like to learn more about the dangers of GM foods (and there are many), go to www.HealthFreedomUSA.org , click on the Health Freedom Blog button (second button down on left), then click on GMOs on the right hand index and you will be in the Natural Solutions Foundation’s extensive Health Freedom Blog GM Files.

In addition, there are two other excellent bills (one sponsored by Ron Paul (R-TX) and one by Chris Cannon (R-UT)) before Congress which protect your right to know about the relationship between health and food! Sad that we need these protections, but how wonderful that some heroes in Congress is willing to go toe to toe with the powerful, but woefully dysfunctional and destructive FDA!

Both Ron Paul (R-TX) and Chris Cannon (R-UT) are deeply concerned about your constitutional and personal right to have accurate health information. Both of them have introduced bills to protect those rights and freedoms. They need your help.

Rep. Ron Paul introduced HR 2117, the Health Freedom Protection Ac. Click http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dvknc7z_183gtpwt5nh” to read Congressman Cannon’s Science Free Speech Act, HR 7120 and http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=F.00a10d0c-947d-43a0-ab30-ab9f7bc222ff ) to read his very important and articulate “Dear Colleague” letter and attachments which document how irrational and destructive the FDA’s lopsided war on supplements and truthful statements has become. Then click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26028) to urge your legislators to become co-sponsors and vote for this bill.

EAT LOCALLY, FIGHT GLOBALLY
VALLEY OF THE MOON TM COFFEE COULD HELP CENTRAL AMERICAN COFFEE GO ORGANIC!

As you may know, General Bert and I are based in Panama right now in order to bring the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Valley of the Moon TM Eco Community Demonstration Project, complete with its BeyondOrganicâ„¢, BioDynamic, Zero Emissions Farm and Farm School, natural health treatment and spa, homes and hotel facilities, community center, to birth and reality. If you are interested in this profound development of the Foundation’s International Decade of Nutrition, visit www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org. Or better yet, come visit us here in beautiful, bountiful, temperate Volcan!

We are literally reclaiming food production for people and for farmers who feed them. That is, after all, a large part of the Mission of the Foundation’s International Decade of Nutrition.

We selected Panama for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the extraordinary fertility of the land in the beautiful, bountiful, temperate Chiriqui Highlands and the stability of the government and economic system here. But Panama is not paradise and there are laws which are not very forward looking, like the official definition of electromagnetic safety: if you are more than 6 meters – 18 feet! – from the base of a cell tower, you are “safe,” by definition. The fact that Sweden says that the first level of danger exists in a circle with a diameter of 3 km around a cell tower means nothing here: 18 feet and that’s that.

So imagine our horror when a neighbor came by to ask us if we would come to a meeting about a huge cell tower being built literally down the street from us. Of course we would. Although most of the meeting was conducted in Spanish, we made out enough to understand that this tower was one of 400 being built across Panama for a new cell system. We gave our advice on how to organize this community against the cell tower, including using Youtube.com to get the word out.

Well, I am proud to tell you that through our joint efforts, the cell tower will not be finished! The 10 children under 5 within about 200 feet of the tower’s base do not have to worry that their immune systems will be crushed under the continuous toxic energy output of the tower! And neither do we! Our tactics and collaboration stopped the construction!

Local action with clever tactics, joined hands, raised voices and determination can work near miracles.

Eat/Act/Organize Locally: Consider the Big Picture and Be Part Of It!

That’s what the Natural Solutions Foundation does. And we are proud that you are doing it with us.

There’s another side to this community development. Coffee. Now I love coffee and so does General Bert. In fact, we travel with a supply of organic coffee and a coffee press so that we can have some clean, bracing brew every single morning. Given where we go on Codex business, it is a small comfort that means a lot to us. But that is not why we are talking coffee here.

We came to Panama to accomplish the development of a seed community and one of the first things we learned was that coffee, the “black gold of Central America”, is regularly poisoned by synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and, most of all, fungicides. Fertilizers can be replaced by more effective, fish meal and compost plus nutrient minerals. The farmers know how to eliminate the herbicides like glyphosate (Roundup TM) – use a machete to trim the grass under the coffee trees.

They know how to avoid pesticides: use pepper spray and other natural pest control. What they do not know how to avoid is fungicides since the devastating fungus ‘Ojo de Gallo,’ (Mycena citricolor) “eye of the rooster”, destroys their crops at a disastrous level. In fact, in Costa Rica, 50% of the crop is destroyed each year by this coffee plant plague.

Leaves infected with Ojo de Gallo

Well, I am a natural physician and have treated mold in people for a long time. I think I know how to do that pretty well so I set a goal for us of finding a natural, wholesome and organic way of curing this problem for ever and sharing our solution to their problem with the farmers in the coffee trade. We personally, General Bert and I, bought a small coffee finca so that we could experiment without threatening the livelihood of subsistence farmers until we had perfected our method. After all, if a farmer’s kids will go hungry because we don’t have our formula quite right this year and his crop is destroyed in spite of our experiment, that would not be acceptable to any of us. We are here to help, not harm. So we decided to experiment on our own farm. The experiment is going really, really well!

Coffee Trees Bearing Fruit for Sustainable Organic Pleasure and Elimination of Chemicals!

Imagine our delight and joy when we learned that there is a “campesino”, a farmer, here who is already doing the very thing that we thought would take us several years to perfect: he is using totally natural means which he has developed to control, to kill, to eliminate ojo de gallo! We went to see him as soon as we could arrange a visit. We found a very smart, very poor farmer who had figured it out and was making the stuff to spray on the plants AND the fertilizer to feed them. That’s the good news. We said, “Why aren’t you the richest man in Panama?” Then he told us the bad news: he makes the fungus control spray in a plastic 55 gallon drum, one 55 gallon drum at a time. He’s hand crafting this magic, natural elixir because he is too poor to make any more at one time!

We agreed with each other that we could bring exposure and dissemination to his wonderful innovation and he could bring experience and the secret formula to our foundation’s determination to find natural solutions like this one to the problems that keep food contaminated and keep farmers poor.

He agreed to make enough to treat our coffee farm (we are paying him for the material, of course) and we went to see how it was working last week. It is working beautifully. We have to see what happens through the harvest, which is starting now, but what a beginning! In fact, I just learned a few minutes ago that we have harvested 3 latas (@ 32 lbs each) of our own Valley of the MoonTM Coffee harvest! We’ll be roasting and grinding and bagging it for you soon. Every bean is chemical free, treated with love and nature’s own tools for health. AND in spite of the fact that there is a labor shortage, we now have 4 workers ready to pick. Our first task is to improve the camp and hygienic facilities and we have begun that today!

If you are a coffee drinker (or use it for detox purposes – or both!) you will want some of our wonderful, chemical free, high altitude specialty Panamanian coffee, produced with the help of the world-renowned Hartmann family, you can have some! If you are a coffee drinker, you’ll love it. If you are giving it as a gift to coffee lovers, they will love it and thank you. You can do your Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza/etc. shopping early this year. By November we will have our extraordinary coffee, from our own Valley of the MoonTM Coffee Finca available for you and your holiday gift giving! You’ll be able to drink your support for health freedom!

Click http://drrimatruthreports.com /index.php?page_id=189 to order as many ½ pound (500 g) bags of this wonderful gift to yourself and every coffee lover on your gift list. Every bag comes with a certificate to let you know what you are buying and what we are doing with the donation that goes with every bag of high altitude, chemical free coffee. Right now, while our web master is away on vacation, we don’t have a special page to order your coffee through set up yet so every donation in multiples of $25 will be considered a coffee donation unless you tell us differently.

We’ll send you a confirming email to let you tell us whether you meant to give us a straight donation or a donation WITH coffee attached. We’ll also be asking for your shipping addresses. But just as soon as Julian, our webmaster, is back from vacation we’ll have a separate page up for coffee orders. Bear with us, please, but do get your order in early: Valley of the MoonTM chemical free coffee production is limited to our one small finca [farm]!

Each bag allows you to make a substantial tax exempt donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation – $20 donation for your purchase price of $25. As I am fond of saying, Valley of the MoonTM is the only coffee in the world that Uncle Sam pays you to drink! Buy 4 bags or more and we’ll throw in the shipping free.

What a gift! Valley of the MoonTM – A little taste of heaven in a cup! Your mornings are going to be a lot better from now on!

Going to Codex (or Maybe Not!) — It’s Up To You

Speaking of our Co-Trustee Ralph, you can read his Vitamin Lawyer Health Freedom Blog entry about his trip last week to Washington to attend the US Codex Delegation meeting, with links to a copy of our White Paper comments he submitted to the Delegates on behalf of the Foundation, telling them in no uncertain terms that we expect the US Delegation to Codex to conform to US law — we do not want our freedoms “HARMonized” to international restrictions!

It’s easy to find the Health Freedom Blogs. Just Google “Health Freedom Blog” and you will find my Health Freedom Blog and Ralph’s Blog in the #1 and #2 position… we’re there because of your support!

The blog entry: http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2008/09/us-codex-delegation-upbraded-for.html

Our comments to the Codex Delegation: http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=1059

With your support we sent Ralph to Washington last week. But right now, because of the combination of economic chaos and the election cycle, our donations are painfully low. So low, in fact, that unless we get an infusion of money, we will not be able to attend the next Codex meeting. It’s a very important one in a very important location: late October – early November the Codex Committee on Nutritional Foods for Speacial Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) meets in South Africa.

Since the Foundation was formed in 2004 we have attended about 4 Codex meetings abroad and several in the US per year, offering the only real voice for health and freedom in the Codex context. Due to the state of the economy, our donations this quarter are less than 1/3 what they were last year at this time. Without your generous emergency help we will not be able to go to the Codex meeting this time, leaving no one to represent your views and leaving your voices unheard.

PLEASE, PLEASE, make any donation you can afford to help us NOW. We attended the Codex meeting in Ottawa, Canada last May because of the generous support of a family who donated $20,000 to cover our expenses. Without large or small donations to add up to what we need, we simply cannot attend this vitally important Codex meeting in Africa, where so much of our work is bearing fruit.

Donate ( http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189 ) IF you care about what happens at Codex. We are ready to go. But you need to send us.

Presidential Candidates’ Health Freedom Questionnaire

Hey, Senators Obama, Biden and McCain and Gov. Palin, Where Do YOU Stand on Health Freedom? The Public Wants to Know!

Back when there were 16 Presidential hopefuls, the Natural Solutions Foundation sent a detailed, 19 item to all 16 candidates asking for the candidate’s stands on mandatory vaccination, medical privacy, “HARMonization” of US laws and regulations with Codex and other critically important health freedom issues. Only one candidate, Ron Paul, responded in full to our questions. Others, including Obama, promised to respond but never did despite more than 93,000 people faxing them with our questions — or never responded at all.

This time around, there are only 4 major party candidates [for President and Vice President], plus the candidates of what Dr. Ron Paul has called the “four principled third parties.” So instead of faxing, we are sending each candidate, plus Ron Paul, who has very clear thoughts on health freedom, our updated questionnaire and will report their response, or lack thereof, to you.

Read the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Presidential/Vice Presidential Health Freedom Questionnaire here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=1068″ ( http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=1068 ). After all, we reason, the man or woman occupying the White House will have massive influence on legislation and regulation through appointments, veto power, arm twisting and deal making which go with the office. And the ripple effect to other countries will be significant as well. We want to know the Candidates’ positions and we are sure you do, too. Stay tuned!

Weaponized Avian Flu “Smoking Gun” Surfaces Months After the Events.
Our Press Release is Censored!

Every time the Natural Solutions Foundation makes a connection that the Powers that Be (PTB) do not want made, we either find our website shut down, the system it is housed on knocked off line or our information censored.

This time a press release we wrote was censored to keep it off the web , as others have been, by a news service. That tells us that the smoking gun we think we may have found concerning the weaponisation of BOTH the Avian Flu virus AND the vaccines supposedly designed to combat or prevent it may very well have been tinkered with at the genetic level to render BOTH capable of killing people in great numbers when the much touted, but still invisible, Avian Flu Pandemic finally rears its death head.

Here’s what the PTB apparently do not want you to know: The brutal torture murder last June of two leading virology researchers, both described as students, in London may hold the key to the Weaponization of Avian Flu AND the vaccines designed around it. The two were stabbed hundreds of times after being tortured by a British-Mossad assassination team now in custody because of the joint efforts of a US-French special security team allegedly headed by General Colin Powell.

The virological team has supposedly discovered the double weaponization of both the Avian flu H5N1 virus and a vaccine designed to prevent it had ties to laboratories in Israel, the US, the World Health Organization system and elsewhere. Their laptop had been stolen the week before and it may have been there that the information of what they had learned came into the hands of the assassination team.

This story was overlooked/suppressed by the American press despite its usual willingness to dwell fondly on gore and mystery. However, the story was prevalent in the European press. Only when the conservative American Free Press brought the story to light in the US did we learn of it.

The Natural Solutions Foundation realized that, if true, this story was of earth-shattering importance and wrote a press release asking for corroboration or refutation by the sources who had brought it forward, including the American Free Press which included details not available in the European versions of the story. Extraordinary claims demand at least ordinary proof.

Our press release is here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1055 ) was censored and prevented from release despite the fact that the Natural Solutions Foundation paid for the distribution service and that the service does not hold itself out as a service for censorship or news “quality” maintenance. When this happens, we note, the pattern is clear: important information is being suppressed by those PTB to further their own ends.

We expect that this website may also go down and if it does, we will take that as confirmation that the allegations and suppositions presented by the American Free Press are, indeed, true. Read the censored Press Release HERE: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1055) and make sure you forward this widely so it cannot disappear again.

Despite the fact that untold billions of dollars are being invested in a pandemic which supposedly does not exist, and vaccines for it are being created for organisms that have allegedly not evolved yet, there is no pandemic to date caused by Avian Flu. In fact, despite the fervent efforts of many, the pandemic virus may be another dud like SARS. Researchers are actually seeking to understand why the H5N1 virus has failed to recombine into a deadly strain so far. And despite the fact that all H5N1 viruses tested against it appear to be resistant to Donald Rumsfeld’s profitable, but failed anti-viral drug, Tamifluâ„¢, huge amounts of money are being dumped into stockpiling that worthless drug as a “treatment” for a disease which does not exist and may well, according to the Julie Gerberding, PhD, head of the CDC, not even be the disease to worry about.

But not for trying. The normally benign Avian Flu has been “bio-messed with” to make it deadly. The vaccines, which are being so expensively developed, are, we suspect, also being engineered to create disease, rather than prevent it (assuming, as we do not, that any vaccine can prevent any disease).

The Natural Solutions Foundation was the first to point the finger to the possible Weaponization of the Avian Flu to alter its natural characteristics to make it more contagious and to integrate genetic material from the world’s most successful bio-weapon, the 1918 flu.

This may give you another level of understanding about why the widest possible dissemination of information through the internet, while we still have it, is of utmost importance in maintaining our freedom and our understanding of what is happening in the world to threaten, or support, our health and our freedom.

Mainstream Medicine Getting There – Slowly: Zinc for Peds Diarrhea, Silver for Infection

By Administrator on September 4, 2008 No Comments

There is good news making its way slowly, slowly into the medical world: little by little allopathic medicine is finally noticing how effective nutrients are in diseases and clinical conditions. Too slowly for most of us, but, still, there are creeping changes.
Instead of antibiotics, for example, pediatricians have noticed that pediatric diarrhea responds to zinc. Why? Because immune systems need zinc to do their job. So give the child zinc and it can fix the problem by itself without dangerous, expensive drugs. Well, well!
And even better, infection yields to silver. Well, of course it does. Burn centers have know that for decades and so has every natural doctor and naturopath for the last how many decades? But the derision and scorn heaped on us when we tried to talk about these and a thousand other ways of treating people when they come to us for cheap, simple, effective and safe means of getting well or staying that way is profound.
It is, however, the derision and anger born of fear.
Laibow’s First Law of Human Psychology is “Anger Drives Out Fear, Or At Least It’s Supposed To!” And conventional medicine is very, very afraid of the natural competitors to its expensive, dangerous and very limited drugs.
Oh, yes, one more thing: Codex Alimentarius makes the international trade of supplements very difficult since supplements may only be sold at doses so low that they have no clinical impact. Codex copmpliance in Europe through the European Food Supplements Directive is, in fact, stripping the shelves of stores of the nutrients previously avaialbe which might have allowed people to use the information in this article. Just ask any one you know, for example, in the UK, what is happening to their supplements: they are vanishing like the morning mist. Poof! Just like that.
If you don’t want the same thing to happen to you, it is imperative that you take action now, join the Natural Solutions Foundation’s distribution list for the free and secure Health Freedom eAlerts and take the action steps therein. I can assure you that legislators are not going to protect your health freedom without an effective outcry from us, the consumers who make our own choices about our own health paths.

Changes in Folate and Homocysteine Linked to Incident Dementia
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/579216?sssdmh=dm1.378114&src=nldne

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Aug 18 – Onset of dementia is associated with decreasing folate and increasing vitamin B12 and homocysteine, results of a study published in the August issue of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry indicate.

“Several cross-sectional studies have found significant associations of lower folate and hyperhomocysteinemia with dementia or cognitive impairment, but the direction of cause and effect is not known,” Dr. Jin-Sang Yoon, of University Medical School, Kwangiu, Republic of Korea, and colleagues write. “Results from prospective studies have been controversial.”

In their study, the researchers examined both baseline levels and changes in folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine as predictors of incident dementia in 625 elderly patients free of dementia at baseline; 518 (83%) were followed over 2.4 years.

Incident dementia occurred in 45 of the 518 (8.7%). The only baseline factor that predicted incident dementia was lower folate concentrations

However, “The onset of dementia was significantly associated with an exaggerated decline in folate, a weaker increase in vitamin B12 concentrations and an exaggerated increase in homocysteine concentrations over the follow-up period,” the team reports.

After adjustment for weight change, these associations were reduced.

“Further research is required to clarify these complex longitudinal interrelationships,” Dr. Yoon and colleagues conclude. “In the meantime, attention needs to be paid to the nutritional status of people with dementia from the time of diagnosis onwards, regardless of whether this is a cause or effect of their condition.”

August 19, 2008 — Use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube significantly reduces the incidence of microbiologically confirmed ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), according to the results of a large, randomized, multicenter study reported in the August 20 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

“VAP causes substantial morbidity,” write Marin H. Kollef, MD, from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, and colleagues from the North American Silver-Coated Endotracheal Tube Investigation Group. “A silver-coated endotracheal tube has been designed to reduce VAP incidence by preventing bacterial colonization and biofilm formation.”

The goal of this prospective, single-blind study conducted in 54 centers in North America was to evaluate whether use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube would reduce the incidence of microbiologically confirmed VAP.

Of 9417 adult patients aged 18 years or older who were screened between 2002 and 2006, a total of 2003 patients who were expected to need mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours were randomly assigned to undergo intubation with 1 of 2 high-volume, low-pressure endotracheal tubes. These tubes were similar except that the experimental tube had a silver coating.

The main endpoint was incidence of VAP, diagnosed from quantitative bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture with at least 104 colony-forming units/mL in patients intubated for at least 24 hours. Secondary endpoints were VAP incidence in all intubated patients, time to VAP onset, length of intubation and duration of intensive care unit and hospital stay, mortality rates, and adverse events.

Rates of microbiologically confirmed VAP in patients intubated for at least 24 hours were 4.8% (37/766 patients; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.4% – 6.6%) in the group receiving the silver-coated tube and 7.5% (56/743; 95% CI, 5.7% – 9.7%; P = .03) in the group receiving the uncoated tube (relative risk reduction, 35.9%; 95% CI, 3.6% – 69.0%).

Rates of microbiologically confirmed VAP in all intubated patients were 3.8% (37/968; 95% CI, 2.7% – 5.2%) in the experimental group and 5.8% (56/964; 95% CI, 4.4% – 7.5%; P = .04) in the control group (relative risk reduction, 34.2%; 95% CI, 1.2% – 67.9%).

Use of the silver-coated endotracheal tube was associated with delayed occurrence of VAP (P = .005), but there were no statistically significant between-group differences in durations of intubation, intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay. Mortality rates and frequency and severity of adverse events were also similar in both groups.

“Patients receiving a silver-coated endotracheal tube had a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of VAP and delayed time to VAP occurrence compared with those receiving a similar, uncoated tube,” the study authors write. “The silver-coated endotracheal tube appears to offer a unique approach because it is the first intervention that becomes user-independent after intubation, requiring no further action by the clinician.”

Limitations of this study include single blinding rather than double blinding; use of a small, fixed block size stratified by center; other factors possibly contributing to between-group differences in VAP rates; study protocol not standardizing prevention strategies; and a protective effect of higher severity-of-illness scores against development of VAP.

In an accompanying editorial, Jean Chastre, MD, from Institut de Cardiologie, Groupe Hospitalier Pitié-Salpê trière in Paris, France, discusses the study limitations.

“Important uncertainties exist regarding the exact benefit of silver-coated endotracheal tubes,” Dr. Chastre writes. “Consequently, silver coated tubes should not be viewed as the definitive answer for VAP prevention, and, until additional data confirm the clinical effectiveness and cost benefit of these devices, their use should be restricted to high-risk patients treated in ICUs [intensive care units] with benchmark value-based infection rates that remain above institutional goals despite implementation of a comprehensive strategy of usual preventive measures to prevent VAP.”

JAMA. 2008.300:805-813, 842-844.
Clinical Context

Rello and colleagues reported in the December 2002 issue of Chest that VAP is linked with increased morbidity rates and generally occurs in the first 10 days after endotracheal intubation. Probable causes of VAP include colonization with pathogenic bacteria and aspiration, as noted by Kollef in the June 2005 issue of Respiratory Care. In the November 2006 issue of Critical Care Medicine, Rello and colleagues found that a silver-coated endotracheal tube decreased bacterial colonization of the airway. The silver ions in a polymer on the inner and outer lumen migrate to the surface of the tube to potentially reduce bacterial adhesion, impede biofilm formation, and promote antimicrobial activity.

This prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, single-blind study assesses the efficacy of a silver-coated endotracheal tube in reducing the incidence of VAP in patients needing mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours.
Study Highlights

* 2003 adults aged at least 18 years and expected to need at least 24 hours of mechanical ventilation were randomly assigned to use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube vs an uncoated endotracheal tube.
* Exclusion criteria were enrollment in a conflicting study, bronchiectasis, severe hemoptysis, cystic fibrosis, pregnancy, silver sensitivity, and more than 12 hours of endotracheal intubation in the previous 30 days.
* 1932 subjects were intubated: 968 in the silver-coated tube group and 964 in the uncoated tube group.
* 1509 subjects were intubated for at least 24 hours: 766 in the silver-coated tube group and 743 in the uncoated tube group.
* Baseline characteristics for both groups were similar for age (mean age, 60.9 – 62.2 years; range, 18 – 102 years), sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, immunocompetency, enteral nutrition use, and endotracheal tube size.
* Both groups had similar VAP risk factors, except chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was less common in the silver-coated tube group vs the uncoated tube group (24-hour intubation subjects, 11.6% vs 16.4%; P = .007; all intubated subjects, 9.2% vs 12.7%; P = .02).
* The primary outcome measure was VAP incidence, defined by at least 104 colony-forming units/mL in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture, in patients intubated for at least 24 hours.
* VAP incidence in patients intubated for at least 24 hours was lower in the silver-coated tube group vs the uncoated tube group (4.8% [37/766 patients] vs 7.5% [56/743 patients]; P = .03; relative risk reduction, 35.9%).
* VAP incidence in all intubated patients was lower in the silver-coated tube group vs the uncoated tube group (3.8% vs 5.8%; P = .04; relative risk reduction, 34.2%).
* Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture was also obtained in those with suspected VAP or with new radiographic infiltrate and at least 2 qualifying signs (fever or hypothermia, leukocytosis or leukopenia, or purulent tracheal aspirate).
* Of 220 patients who underwent bronchoalveolar lavage for suspected VAP, the most common pathogens for the silver-coated tube group vs the uncoated tube group were Staphylococcus aureus (9 vs 16), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8 vs 11), Enterobacteriaceae (10 vs 5), and polymicrobial infections (7 vs 13).
* VAP incidence within 10 days of intubation in patients intubated for at least 24 hours was less common in the silver-coated tube group (relative risk reduction, 47.6%; 95% CI, 14.6% – 81.9%; P = .005).
* Delayed occurrence of VAP was linked to silver-coated tube use (P = .005).
* There was no difference between groups in median duration of intubation, intensive care unit stay, hospital stay, and mortality rates.
* Regression analysis showed that silver-coated tube use was associated with decreased risk for VAP at any time, VAP within 10 days of intubation, and delayed time to occurrence.
* Adverse events occurred with similar frequency and severity for both groups.
* 59 endotracheal tube–related adverse events occurred: 21 in the silver-coated tube group vs 38 in the uncoated tube group.
* 74 intubation procedure–related adverse events occurred: 39 in the silver-coated tube group vs 35 in the uncoated tube group.
* Post hoc analysis showed that VAP in patients intubated for at least 24 hours was linked with longer duration of intubation and longer length of stay in the intensive care unit or hospital but not with mortality rate.
* Limitations of the study included lower than expected VAP incidence in the uncoated tube group, more subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the uncoated tube group, and lack of blinding of investigators.

Pearls for Practice

* The incidence of VAP in patients intubated for at least 24 hours is reduced and delayed with use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube vs an uncoated endotracheal tube.
* Use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube does not affect duration of intubation, length of stay in the intensive care unit or hospital, mortality rates, or adverse events.

Oral zinc for treating diarrhoea in children.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008; (3):CD005436 (ISSN: 1469-493X)

BACKGROUND: Diarrhoea causes around two million child deaths annually. Zinc supplementation could help reduce the duration and severity of diarrhoea, and is recommended by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate oral zinc supplementation for treating children with acute or persistent diarrhoea. SEARCH STRATEGY: In November 2007, we searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2007, Issue 4), MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, mRCT, and reference lists. We also contacted researchers. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials comparing oral zinc supplementation (>/= 5 mg/day for any duration) with placebo in children aged one month to five years with acute or persistent diarrhoea, including dysentery. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Both authors assessed trial eligibility and methodological quality, extracted and analysed data, and drafted the review. Diarrhoea duration and severity were the primary outcomes. We summarized dichotomous outcomes using risk ratios (RR) and continuous outcomes using mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Where appropriate, we combined data in meta-analyses (using the fixed- or random-effects model) and assessed heterogeneity. MAIN RESULTS: Eighteen trials enrolling 6165 participants met our inclusion criteria. In acute diarrhoea, zinc resulted in a shorter diarrhoea duration (MD -12.27 h, 95% CI -23.02 to -1.52 h; 2741 children, 9 trials), and less diarrhoea at day three (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.81; 1073 children, 2 trials), day five (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.95; 346 children, 2 trials), and day seven (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.98; 4087 children, 7 trials). The four trials (1458 children) that reported on diarrhoea severity used different units and time points, and the effect of zinc was less clear. Subgroup analyses by age (trials with only children aged less than six months) showed no benefit with zinc. Subgroup analyses by nutritional status, geographical region, background zinc deficiency, zinc type, and study setting did not affect the results’ significance. Zinc also reduced the duration of persistent diarrhoea (MD -15.84 h, 95% CI -25.43 to -6.24 h; 529 children, 5 trials). Few trials reported on severity, and results were inconsistent. No trial reported serious adverse events, but vomiting was more common in zinc-treated children with acute diarrhoea (RR 1.71, 95% 1.27 to 2.30; 4727 children, 8 trials). AUTHORS’ CONCLUSIONS: In areas where diarrhoea is an important cause of child mortality, research evidence shows zinc is clearly of benefit in children aged six months or more.

GMO Files: Prince Charles Says GM Heading for World’s Greatest Disaster

By Administrator on August 21, 2008 No Comments

August 21, 2008

Codex Alimentarius is a friend to Genetically Modified (GM) foods since it allows the US to replicate its devastatingly dangerous lack of labeling for GM foods. Here in the US, such labeling is forbidden since, in 1992, George H. W. Bush, then President, issued an Executive Order granting, as if by the magic of lobbying, equality to natural foods and those produced by biotechnology. Once equivalent, the GM foods not only did not have to be labeled, they MAY not be labeled, according to the ever corporate-friendly FDA — “GM Free” labels are not lawful, according to the FDA.

Not only that, but, playing the heavy at Codex, the US has managed to overcome the resistance of nearly all African countries, the EU and a host of other nations with grave reservations about both the safety of these “foods” and the ethical nature of denying consumers information they overwhelmingly say that they want to have — whether their food has been genetically tampered with or not.

A New York Times – CBS Poll earlier this summer indicated that 87% of Americans want GM labeling; over half would not buy GM food if it were so labeled: http://ecopreneurist.com/2008/05/23/half-of-all-americans-wouldnt-buy-frankenfoodsif-they-could-tell-the-difference/

Prince Charles, Heir Apparent to the throne of England, Wales and Scotland, however, got it right and did so in the face of the Press. Read what the Prince had to say below.

Natural Solutions Foundation commends Prince Charles for his stand on Genetically Modified foods and crops. The prince has long been an advocate of natural food production and a champion of organic farming. He notes, as does the Natural Solutions Foundation, that the industrialization of food production leads not only to inferior food, but drives the subsistence or peasant farmers off their lands creating social devastation along with the devastation of the environment and health for which GM foods are responsible.

The Prince warned that the bio tech corporations are taking us all towards a grim environmental disaster of unprecedented magnitude.

Whatever else the Royal Family of the UK may be engaged in, on this particular battle, they are on the right side and must be welcomed to the Natural Solutions Foundation Hall of Fame.

Congratulations, Prince Charles!

Charles in GM ‘disaster’ warning
BBC News August 13, 2008
Prince Charles has his own organic farm at his Gloucestershire estate

Companies developing genetically modified crops risk creating the biggest environmental disaster “of all time”, Prince Charles has warned.

GM crops were damaging Earth’s soil and were an experiment “gone seriously wrong”, he told the Daily Telegraph.

A future reliance on corporations to mass-produce food would drive millions of farmers off their land, he said.

The government said it welcomed all voices in the “important” debate over the future potential role of GM crops.

However, Dr Julian Little, chairman of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council, said he was “disappointed” by the Prince’s comments because “they do not seem to be based on any solid evidence”. *

“Our experience from over 10 years of GM cultivation shows that GM technology has been [sic] found to deliver real environmental and economic benefits,” he said. *

Mr Little added: “At a time when demand for food and fuel is rising and in the face of growing environmental challenges, we need to find ways to feed an ever-increasing global population.”

FROM THE TODAY PROGRAMME

More from Today programme

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said the Prince’s “robust” comments were “likely to rankle with the government”, which has given the go-ahead to a number of GM crop trials in the UK since 2000.

“Even for a prince who’s a long-established champion of organic farming and critic of GM crops, these are comments which verge on the extreme,” our correspondent said.

Prince Charles told the newspaper that huge multi-national corporations involved in developing GM foods were conducting a “gigantic experiment with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong”.

Relying on “gigantic corporations” for food would end in “absolute disaster”, he warned.

“That would be the absolute destruction of everything… and the classic way of ensuring there is no food in the future.”

What should be being debated was “food security not food production”, he said.

He said GM developers might think they would be successful by having “one form of clever genetic engineering after another”, but he believed “that will be guaranteed to cause the biggest disaster environmentally of all time”.

Prince Charles, who has an organic farm on his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, said relying on big corporations for the mass production of food would not only threaten future food supplies but also force smaller producers out of business.

“If they think this is the way to go, we will end up with millions of small farmers all over the world being driven off their land into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness,” he said.

The prince also told the Telegraph he hoped to see more family-run co-operative farms, with producers working with nature and not against it.

The Prince’s comments come at a time of rising world food prices and food shortages.

The biotech industry says that GM technology can help combat world hunger and poverty by delivering higher yields from crops and also reduce the use of pesticides.

‘Untenable’

In June, Environment Minister Phil Woolas said the government was ready to argue for a greater role for the technology.

But green groups and aid agencies have doubts about GM technology’s effectiveness in tackling world hunger and have concerns about the long-term environmental impact.

Responding to the prince’s comments, a spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: “Safety will always be our top priority on this issue.” …

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7557644.stm

——————————–

* In the opinion of the Natural Solutions Foundation, the statements made by Dr. Little are disingenuous at the least. We know of no conclusive evidence that GM products are safe; certainly no long-term studies have been undertaken. Further, there are many suggestive developments, such as the upsurge in Morgellon’s-like syndrome, the reported devastation of the bee population, and similar instances that suggest the long term safety of GM products is not proven. Under the usual Precautionary Principal GM products cannot be deemed safe.

Vitamin C Effective in Trimming Cancer Cell Growth!

By Administrator on August 6, 2008 No Comments

Vitamin C Treatment Cuts Tumor Growth in Mice

“NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Aug 04 – Parenteral treatment with vitamin C can reduce the growth of aggressive tumor xenografts in mice, according to a report in the August 4th Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Old Wine in New Bottles
The article below is rather astonishing but long, long overdue. In fact, what this study, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says is that when mice are given an aggressive form of cancer (glioblastoma, a virulent brain tumor) and then given a single [presumed high] dose of Vitamin C. The result is that the tumor growth was slowed.
When daily doses were given to mice who had brain, ovarian and pancreatic cancers implanted in their abdomens, the results were dramatic although “cure” did not result.”

Well, of course it did not. Used by a nutritional physician, Vitamin C is not given alone. It is part of a total regimen including diet, supplements, exercise, detoxification, etc.
So their conclusion, although naive, is quite hopeful because the barrier between themselves and common sense about nutritional therapies put up for so long by mainstream medicine might, just might, be breaking down as the conventional cancer therapies fail and fail and fail.

For years, as you know, Vitamin C treatment for cancer was demonized. There were periodic reports, of course, like this, but they tended to disappear without a trace. Perhaps this one will be the one that opens the gates for wide acceptance of the wisdom that the natural medicine community, through all of its practitioners, has accummulated for so long.

You see, in my office, and the office of every other nutritional physician, naturopath, homeopath, etc., results that never, never occur in the treatment of chronic, degenerative diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, allergies, autism, etc., etc. We treat causes, not down-stream events like the diseases after the nutritional and toxic problems have taken their toll. That’s why we already know about treatments like Vitamin C (+ other aspects of the protocol) for our cancer patients! After all, we have had wonderful teachers, for example, Linus Pauling!

Keep educating your friends, relatives and doctors. We are right, after all! Our clinical experiences, and those of our patients, make that very, very clear!

Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima

Although vitamin C is typically thought of as an antioxidant, Dr. Mark Levine and colleagues show in the new study that it can also act as a prooxidant. The results also indicate that at pharmacologic levels, the essential nutrient elicits hydrogen peroxide-dependent cytotoxicity only toward cancer cells, leaving normal cells unscathed.

Testing in mice with glioblastoma xenografts showed that a single parenteral dose of vitamin C leads to free radical formation in tumor interstitial fluids, but not in the blood, Dr. Levine, from National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and co-authors found.

Daily treatment with vitamin C significantly slowed the growth of glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer in mice.

To gauge the therapeutic potential of vitamin C, the researchers administered the nutrient intravenously to humans and found that concentrations corresponding to the efficacious levels in mice were, in fact, achievable.

Despite these encouraging results, the authors note that “use of pharmacologic ascorbate as a single agent was not curative.” Still, they believe that it could be used in combination with other therapies to increase the efficacy against prognostically poor malignancies, such as those examined in the study.
