In response to EmpowHER’s Michelle King Robson’ article Your “Must Have” Annual Health Tests
Dr. Pam did a pretty good job on most of these items, but there are several serious, one might say, glaring, errors that could damage women’s health in major ways.
Let’s start with mammograms: they under diagnose breast cancer AND over diagnose it. That is to say, 30% of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) is missed by mammograms (false negative), another 30% is diagnosed when it is absent (false positive) for an accuracy rate of 40%. Not only that, the process itself is harmful since both the radiation and compression can damage tissue.
The harm from a false negative is obvious. The harm from a false positive, highlighted recently in an article in the British Medical Journal (Possible Net Harms of Breast Cancer Screening: Updated Modelling of Forrest Report, British Medical Journal, December 8, 2011: 343; d7627) comes about through lumpectomies, mastectomies and other unnecessary interventions such as chemotherapy and radiation.
Just how good is the diagnostic acumen of pathologists after a mammogram shows DCIS? Not very.
Despite what most people believe, there simply are no diagnostic standards for D.C.I.S. Even if there were such standards, there are no requirements that the pathologists doing the readings have specialized expertise or training in this area. Shahla Masood, MD, is the head of pathology at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville. She told the New York Times: “There are studies that show that diagnosing these borderline breast lesions occasionally comes down to the flip of a coin.”
Hmm. I want to bet my life on the flip of a pathologist’s coin and I’ll bet you do, too! Not!
As if that were not bad enough, it turns out that the pre-menopausal breast is particularly sensitive to radiation so that “each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade’s screening.” according to renowned environmental physician, Dr. Samuel Epstein.
Actually, it is worse than that: mammograms, despite the super pink ribbons on everything hype, do very little, perhaps nothing at all, to save the lives of the people who get them: “A 10 percent reduction [in death from breast cancer – Dr. Rima] would mean that if 1,000 50-year-old women were screened over a decade, 996 women rather than 995.6 would not die from the cancer — an effect so tiny it may have occurred by chance.” according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (New England Journal of Medicine September 23, 2010; 363(13):1203-10).
Dr. Charles B. Simone, who was a clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute, says,
Thermography, which detects the heat that a tumor generates (tumors have increased blood flow and metabolic rates compared to normal tissue) on the other hand, accurately identifies cancers years before they become apparent on any other visualization or test. It is safe, inexpensive, quick and accurate. Obviously a good choice if health is the issue, but not if billable services is the point of the exercise.
Diet, exercise, self-examination and high antioxidant intake are vital to prevention of cancer, breast or otherwise. It would be far wiser to have a discussion with your patient, Dr. Pam, about these issues than to write a prescription for a mammogram.
Second, the cholesterol screening is absurd. A very small percentage of people actually have high cholesterol. What they do have is high oxidative stress (free radical damage) plus artificially lowered cholesterol standards.
Dr. Pam, you would be well advised to go back to biochemistry and review where cholesterol comes from and what it does in the body. Drug companies have a huge, and totally disingenuous, interest in making sure that more people, and ever more people, take cholesterol-lowering drugs.
First of all, they are blockbuster money producers. Second of all, they lead to a great many other problems, all of which lead then to the consumption of more, and ever more, medical services and drugs.
For example, every sex hormone is built on a cholesterol scaffold: lower cholesterol and you have just guaranteed the sale of a great deal of medication designed to compensate, for example, in men, for erectile dysfunction and in women, in hormone replacement therapy.
Not only that, lowering cholesterol, which comprises more than 50% of the brain by weight, will result in depression and other emotional and mental illnesses: more drug bounty! And, as we know, once people get on the psychoactive medication drug merry-go-round, they usually stay on it for the rest of their lives. Mmmmm! MMMMoney!
Wait! There’s more! The body actually produces cholesterol for a reason: it acts as a bandage when damage occurs to the living of the walls of the arteries so if the body is making a lot of it, there is probably a need for it. Why not treat that instead of damaging an essential response mechanism that the body is using to protect and heal itself? Well, because that takes time, which doctors have allowed to be ripped from them by agreeing to practice medicine the same way that you build a car: in tiny, disconnected segments, without adequate time to know, and care for, their patients.
The drug companies have been deeply instrumental in artificially and nonsensically lowering “normal” cholesterol levels. Why? so they can sell drugs to younger and therefore more, people, now to include children as young as eight years.
No, Dr. Pam, the issue is not cholesterol level. It is antioxidant level and chronic inflammation.
All of these conditions can be first prevented and then treated with nutrients, life style alterations and detoxification. All of them.
I know, because I have been doing that in my drug-free practice of medicine and psychiatry for more than 40 years as a licensed physician.
Oh, and high quality vitamins and mineral supplements are essential, since they are deficient in modern foods and make believe, processed and poisoned PHUDES. These dangerous imitation pseudo-nutrients are the product of industrial production and are seriously toxic.
How about discussing that with your patients, Dr. Pam?
I do.
Oh, yes, although it was not mentioned in the article, if you are interested in your patient’s well-being as they move through the life cycle, Dr. Pam, I advise you to advise your patients that any vaccine will weaken their immune systems and, in fact, shots like the flu shot, which contains aluminum as well as mercury, will increase their chances of developing neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease by hundreds of percentage points for each time they get vaccinated.
You might also want to be sure to advise against such absurdities as the shingles (Herpes zoster) vaccine which, according to the CDC, seriously harms 1 patient for each 2.8 patients vaccinated with it and does not work in something like, again, according to the CDC, 98-99% of cases.

In response to Care2’s article Shaken Baby Syndrome: An Exercise in “Faith” or Science We Can Trust?
Don’t accept mandatory vaccines, Take Action Here.
.
Congratulations to Ms. Del Prete and kudos to Judge Kennelly.
.
The myth/hoax of Shaken Baby Syndrome is coming unraveled. About 12,500 babies will die of so-called “Shaken Baby Syndrome” in the US this year. But they will not die at the hands of violent, irrational caretakers.
.
We now know what kills these babies. The abuse from which they die comes out of a syringe, not from the hands of their care givers. And now, thanks to scientists like. Michael Innis, MD we know what the mechanism by which vaccines kill these babies.
.
In a powerful 3.5 our webinar + heavily referenced ebook and special Shaken Baby Sydrome Guide for Parents, Police and Prosecutors, http://TinyURL.com/SBSHoax (available in both Spanish and English) the real science of what kills babies in these cases is laid bare.
.
Short answer? Shaken Baby Syndrome is nearly always a vaccine injury caused by an auto immune response to the toxic materials in the vaccine. The pancreas of the baby is unable to produce insulin leading to consequences which are documented by laboratory tests (tests which usually are not done and which corrupt judges do to allow into evidence when a parent or baby sitter is being rail-roaded to jail, sometimes for life.
.
Why? to protect vaccine use, at the cost of life and liberty
.
How to save these babies, and how to stay out of jail? Simple. Get legal vaccine exemptions for yourself and your family members and stop vaccinating them.
.
Despite the hype, vaccines are dangerous and ineffective. Risk/benefit? All risk, no benefit.

In response to SFGate’s Andrew Coffman Smith’s article HPV vaccination bill advances, despite opposition
Don’t accept mandatory vaccines, Take Action Here.
Great marketing, poor science, poorer public policy.
First, the facts: HPV is a self-limiting disease which, despite the hype and distortion surrounding it, has never been shown to be the cause of cancer, nor to predispose to it.
It is a near-ubiquitous condition which resolves on its own in nearly 100% of cases within 2 years. It may reappear, or not. But consider: the HPV virus comes and goes. It might be present when a cancer is discovered. That in no way means that it caused, or predisposed to, the cancer.
Yet that is the bogus correlation which is being sold to us. Why? To sell vaccines.
You may recall that Merck received an award from the main pharmaceutical trade group, PHARMA, for, by promoting Gardasil, “creating a market out of thin air”.
And thin air it is, but the air is poisoned: Gardasil and Cervarix are highly dangerous, fraught with serious and lethal side effect reports and totally unnecessary.
Pap smears detect cancer early, are cheap and safe. Vaccines do not prevent cancer and are neither cheap nor safe.
Merck reported that 1 woman in 981 who received its vaccine would die from it. Compare that with CDC’s statement that in 2010 (the last year for which figures are available) 3,939 women died from cervical cancer in the US. At about 300 million people, or 150 million women, a similar death rate to that admitted by Merck for Gardasil would mean that about 1 in 1000 women died of cervical cancer vaccine, or 37,500 women per year!
Cervarix is more dangerous yet since it contains squalen. Although this is a normal component of the nervous system, when it is allowed to circulate in the blood stream, the body attacks it, creating often-cataclysmic auto immune disease.
In the laboratory, where it is often useful to create autoimmune conditions in lab animals, squalen is known as “Freund’s Complete Adjuvant” because it is so good at creating system-wide auto immune response.
Vaccines with squalen? We’ve seen the results before: it is called “Gulf War Syndrome”.
Then there is the issue of fertility. The US Government holds two patents on the use of squalen as an injectable for the purpose of creating permanent, irreversible infertility in both men and women.
Squalen had never been approved for use in humans until the absurd Swine Flu Level 6 Pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization.
At that point, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebalius announced on September 15, 2009, that the Swine Flu vaccine would be laced with the amount of sqalene described in those patents and the vaccine would be administered to every single person in the US.
Public outcry, led by the Natural Solutions Foundation, www.DrRimaTruthReports.com, forced the government to back down and abandon its squalen, mercury and aluminum laced mandate. But there it was, all shiny new and approved without any human testing, despite clear knowledge that it causes massive and irreversible harm when injected.
More? women who receive the vaccine and have HPV virus (as at least 80% of the female population does at any given time) actually have a 46.7% INCREASED chance of developing cervical cancer!
So why is South Carolina pushing the bill to vaccinate girls in its schools?
Clearly not because of science and clearly not because of common sense. There are not many options left: one is greed and one is stupidity. Another is studied misinformation.
Whatever the reason, the act of vaccinating with Gardasil or Cervarix is, quite literally, unimaginably harmful and should be avoided at all costs.

In response to Children Screaming To Be Heard’s article THE PAEDOPHILE RING THAT CHANGED THE LAWS
Yes, high (and low) level pedophiles stalk and abuse our children with impunity. Yes, they are trafficked and murdered.
Yes, this is condoned by the criminals in high places.
No, sex education is not the cause, nor is it the problem.
Children should be educated about their bodies by their parents, but parents may be both lax and ignorant. It should not fall to the schools, but then to whom should it fall if the parents are not able/willing to do that?
Children growing up in ignorance about how their bodies function run the very real risk of not use them very well, according to my experience.
When I was in Medical School, my Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology asked me if I wanted to participate in a unique sex education class: The Board of Education of New York City had changed its policy and allowed girls who had gotten pregnant and had babies to return to High School to finish their public education.
The girls had requested a sex education program.
I attended the class as their instructor with the assumption that they actually knew all about sex.
They knew virtually nothing.
Some of them had been having sex since early childhood with relatives and family “friends” so they honestly did not know that the same activity that they had been participating in since age 3 was responsible for their getting pregnant.
These were not stupid girls/women. They were uneducated and lived in a culture where sex was taboo, but their bodies, though mysterious, were not. They literally hung on my every word and could not wait for the next session. Had they been informed and protected, the likelihood that they would now be 13, 14, 15 and 16 year old mothers was, I believe, very low. But part of this information and protection would have been education on how to protect themselves, whom to turn to for protection, etc.
Indeed, if our children are being preyed upon, keeping them in ignorance that they are prey, and thus giving them no tools with which to protect themselves, is the wrong approach.
Pedopheliacs are criminals, as is anyone who forces physical contact on those below the age of real, meaningful consent or on anyone above it. We need to teach our children that so they do not become either prey or predators.
It is, after all, the truth that will set you free, not ignorance.

Dr. Rima

In response to The Stir’s Kiri Blakeley’ article Military Mom Who Killed Her 2 Kids Didn’t Want Them to Become Like Her
There is no doubt in my mind that this woman was on psychoactive drugs when she made the decision, and carried out the action, killing her children.
Every single mass murderer, in or out of schools, in the US in the last decade or more has been on psychoactive drugs. Many, many people on these drugs kill themselves and sometimes they kill others along the way.
These drugs do not decrease deaths, they increase them. Psychoactive medication does that. Often.
As a psychiatrist who has practiced drug-free medicine and psychiatry for 44 years, I can definitively state that nutrition, neurobiofeedback and other safe, effective means work while drugs do not, and have disastrous consequences.
You really do not have to fill that prescription! And since these drugs inevitably, often permanently damage the brain and body, they should not only never be taken, but NEVER given to children.
Never.

Dr. Rima
