The police power of the state is a well established principle in the US Constitution. What happens when it is used to decide how to make the population healthier, or better, or smarter, or more desirable?
Fascism, both medical and non medical, is the inevitable result.
Many people do not know that the formal concept of Eugenics originated in the US with Stanford University professor Frances Galton, PhD and that it was enthusiastically championed by the select, unelected “masters” like John D. Rockefeller and the Harriman family. So successful were they in selling their loathsome idea that the perfection and purification of the human species could – and should – be accomplished at the discretion of the rulers of humanity, starting, of course, with themselves, that they sold the idea to numerous US State legislatures. The concept was upheld in the Supreme Court of the United States and then, once firmly established through legislation and practice, the idea was exported to Germany preceding the National Socialists. From there, it was enthusiastically embraced by the Nazis who modeled their eugenics laws and programs on the US ones, as the article below details.
Rockefeller set up and funded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (clearly long before the Nazis seized power) which was the “scientific” font of this burgeoning atrocity.
The results are history. Or are they?
Perhaps they are part of the current world view of the ruling elite.

The Dark Side of Public Health
Maxwell J. Mehlman, J.D.
The history of public health efforts in the United States in many ways is a story of great accomplishment. In the 19th century, public health officials constructed urban water and sanitation systems to protect the public against filth. With the discovery of germs, they turned their attention to transmissible diseases and instituted measures to inspect and quarantine ships. The original name of the U. S. Public Health Service, in fact, was the “Marine Hospital Service.” (It became the Public Health Service in 1912.) In the late 19th century and early 20th century, public health authorities began mass inoculation programs. This culminated in the spectacular success of polio vaccination in the early 1950s.
Vaccinations were not universally applauded in the early 20th century, however, and one resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Henning Jacobson, sued the state public health department after he was fined $5 for refusing to be vaccinated against smallpox, and then jailed when he refused to pay the fine. The case, Jacobson v. Massachusetts,1 went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Not only was this the first Supreme Court decision regarding the government’s public health powers but it still stands as the leading case acknowledging the scope of these powers.
The Court’s opinion, written by Justice Harlan, analogizes the public health power of the state to the power to defend itself against foreign attack, including requiring citizens to take up arms and risk “the chance of being shot down.” Harlan emphasizes that the common good takes precedence over the “wishes or convenience of the few.” The only constraints on the exercise of this broad public health power are that it may not be either “arbitrary or unreasonable” or “cruel and inhuman.” Accordingly, the opinion states that a person can refuse to be vaccinated if doing so “would seriously impair his health, or probably cause his death.” In the Court’s judgment, Henning Jacobson’s objection that he had had an adverse reaction to vaccination as a child did not meet that test. (Note that the grant of an exception to immunization would not mean that a potentially infected individual would be allowed to circulate freely among the population, since the public health authorities could quarantine the person indefinitely.)
The AIDS Crisis
The AIDS epidemic posed some difficult challenges for public health officials. This was not the first time that they had confronted a sexually transmitted disease (STD). In the early 20th century, the STD of concern was syphilis and the government’s actions were vigorous. During World War I, for example, 20,000 women believed to be at risk for spreading the disease (hence, the reason they were called “spreaders”) were incarcerated in government camps. In the mid-1930s, Surgeon General Thomas Parran developed the techniques of mandatory reporting of infected persons, partner notification and contact tracing that became staples of the public health armamentarium. By the end of World War II, all states required syphilis testing before a couple could obtain a marriage license. Most states repealed these laws in the 1980s but not before many people suffered severe anguish as a result of the 25% false positive rate of the test then in use.
In the early stages of the AIDS epidemic, even more draconian public health measures were proposed. In 1985, the legislatures of Colorado, Florida and Texas considered bills to ban HIV positive individuals from working as food handlers. Rev. Jerry Falwell called for all prostitutes to be placed in quarantine and a bill to that effect was introduced in the Colorado legislature. William F. Buckley called for universal HIV screening. In 1987, Illinois began requiring HIV testing for marriage licenses. (By the end of 1988, 159,000 people had been tested at a cost of $5.6 million. A total of 23 cases were detected.) Also in 1987, then-Vice President George Bush urged the nation to mandate universal HIV screening.
These calls for mandatory action were resisted by AIDS activists and some physicians. Quarantining individuals who engaged in high risk activities was deemed imprudent because it was known that a person could be infected with the HIV virus yet yield a negative test result because of a delay in seroconversion (the ability to detect antibodies to the virus in the blood). Thus, a person who was quarantined would have no way of proving that he or she was uninfected; quarantine, in effect, would have to be for life. The same seroconversion phenomenon bedeviled calls for mandatory testing of patients and prisoners after health care workers, law enforcement personnel or firefighters suffered accidental exposures. This led to an emphasis instead on universal precautions. Furthermore, the stigma attached to AIDS and the discrimination faced by those infected or at risk persuaded health policymakers that, in contrast to the use of mandatory reporting, partner notification and contact tracing that had been employed in the fight against syphilis in the 1930s, more people would obtain HIV testing if the tests were available on a voluntary, anonymous basis.
Yet many in the public health community chafed at anonymous testing, believing that it placed the public at unnecessary risk by tying the hands of public health officials when it came to tracking and preventing the spread of the disease. There were repeated calls to return to the old mandatory public health style of intervention. Gradually, this viewpoint gained support. In 1992, North Carolina public health officials called a halt to anonymous HIV testing, an action that was upheld by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in a case called ACT-UP Triangle v. Commissioner for Health Services.2 As of now, anonymous testing is banned in Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee.
What tipped the balance against voluntary, anonymous testing was the development of drug treatment. The FDA approved AZT in 1987, followed by protease inhibitors in 1995. Once these drugs became available, the chilling effect of the stigma or discrimination associated with identifiable reporting of positive HIV test results was deemed to be negated by an individual’s desire to be tested so that treatment could commence.
An indication of how far the nation has gone toward a mandatory public health model in its response to AIDS is the September, 2006, recommendation by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that identifiable, reportable HIV tests be made a part of “routine” medical testing. The CDC states that patients should be notified that they were about to be tested for HIV and given an opportunity to decline, but the CDC also states that physicians should not have to obtain specific informed consent for the testing. At the same time, the CDC did not specific what would count as adequate notice. Conceivably, it might be sufficient if HIV testing were merely listed among the series of other tests on a laboratory order form.
Still, the nation seems to have weathered the AIDS epidemic relatively successfully, without seriously weakening the public health system. The question is whether we will be as fortunate in responding to new challenges, especially the challenges posed by our growing knowledge of genetics and by the War on Terror. In order to understand exactly what is at stake, we need to revisit some less successful public health campaigns of the past.
Sickle Cell Screening
After a rapid, accurate genetic test for the sickle cell mutation was developed, a number of states mandated population screening. In some states, the screening was limited to African-Americans, who comprise about 8 to 10% of those who carry the mutation for the disease. In other states, testing was a prerequisite for public schooling. There was inadequate public education about the significance of a positive test ? result. Many who were merely carriers of the autosomal recessive gene thought that they actually had the disease. People who were homozygous for the mutation did not understand that the severity of the disease varied substantially from one individual to another. Eventually, most of the mandatory screening laws were repealed but not before many people suffered emotional distress and discrimination by insurers and employers.
And in case you thought that winning a Nobel prize for science equips you to make good public health policy, Linus Pauling, who did pioneering work in the late 1940s on the molecular basis for sickle cell disease, not only fully supported the screening laws but, in 1968, urged that every person who was revealed to be a carrier of the sickle cell trait should have an “S” tattooed on their foreheads so that they could avoid reproducing with another carrier.
The U.S. Public Health Service Experiment at Tuskegee
In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service began a study of 410 African-American syphilitic men in rural Alabama. The purpose of the study was to follow the course of the untreated disease. Subjects were not informed what was wrong with them, and they were not treated, even in the 1950s after penicillin was recognized as standard, effective therapy. In fact, U.S. public health officials actively discouraged treatment by local physicians, the state health department and the army. Subjects were offered a $50 burial subsidy to stay in the study and in 1958 each survivor was given $25 and a certificate of appreciation.
The first paper describing the study appeared in the medical literature in 1936 and reports continued to be published through the 1960s. In 1969, a committee of the CDC reviewed the experiment and authorized it to continue. By the time the press exposed the study in 1972 and it was halted, only 74 men remained alive.
Eugenics
The year 2007 marks the 100th anniversary of the enactment of the first eugenic involuntary sterilization law in history. It may come as a surprise that this law was not passed by the Nazis but by the State of Indiana.
The term “eugenics” was coined in 1883 by Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin. In 1904, he defined it as “[t]he science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race; also with those that develop them to the utmost advantage.” Upon receiving a large gift from the wife of railroad magnate E. H. Harriman, a biology professor named Charles Davenport in 1905 established an organization called the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. (Ironically, this is now a center for genetic research and the home of Dr. James Watson, one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA.) In 1907, as mentioned above, the Indiana legislature authorized the compulsory sterilization of “confirmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles, and rapists” residing in a state institution, provided that a panel of one physician and two surgeons agreed that there was “no probability of improvement” and that it was “inadvisable” for the inmate to procreate.
Eugenics legislation really took off after Davenport hired an Iowa high school teacher by the name of Harry Loughlin to direct the Eugenics Record Office. Loughlin was a tireless advocate of eugenics and, by 1913, 14 states operated active compulsory sterilization programs. Supporters of these programs included many prominent progressives and social reformers. Between 1913 and 1918, a number of the state laws were held unconstitutional on various grounds (including lack of equal protection because they only applied to institutionalized persons; lack of adequate procedural safeguards; and cruel and unusual punishment). In response, Loughlin drafted a new model sterilization law.
One of the states that adopted the new language was Virginia. Under the provisions of the Virginia law, the state sterilized a woman named Carry Buck, who was institutionalized in the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feeble Minded, and she then filed a lawsuit ostensibly to challenge the constitutionality of the statute. As legal historian Paul Lombardo discovered, the suit was a sham. Buck was given virtually no effective legal representation; her lawyer, as well as her supporting witnesses, had gotten together with the state officials to concoct the suit in order to convince the courts to uphold the new model law.
Like the earlier Jacobson case, the case of Buck v. Bell also made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and, in 1927, Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the most respected jurists in American history, upheld the law with the now infamous words:
We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.
Decades later, Lombardo’s research showed that Buck had been institutionalized when she got pregnant after she had been raped by the nephew of the foster family she had been living with. Neither she, nor her mother or child, were “feeble-minded.”
With the constitutional door held open by the Court in Buck, 28 states enacted compulsory sterilization laws by 1931. Georgia passed the last sterilization law in the U.S. in 1937. The number of reported sterilizations in California rose from 322 in 1925 to 2,362 over the course of 1928 and 1929. Nationally, approximately 3,000 operations were reported annually prior to World War II. Many sterilizations that occurred were not reported.
Eugenic sterilization is a form of “negative” eugenics, in that it seeks to prevent the birth of genetically undesirable individuals. The eugenics movement also fostered positive eugenics. During the 1920s, state fairs awarded prizes to “fitter families” and “better babies” alongside champion farm animals. An organization called the Pioneer Fund offered military pilots and crews with three children the equivalent of $45,000 if they fathered a fourth.
The allure of eugenics was apparent to a former German army corporal who read about Loughlin’s model law in 1924 while he was in jail writing a book called Mein Kampf. When the Nazis came to power, the first piece of legislation they enacted was a sterilization law modeled on the Virginia statute. (Loughlin was so revered by the Nazis that the Nazi-controlled University of Heidelberg gave him an honorary degree in 1934.) By 1935, over 150,000 people had been sterilized under the German law, including a number of deaf persons who volunteered as a show of support for the Fatherland. Gradually the scope of the law was broadened into a tool of genocide. The Germans also vigorously pursued positive eugenics, as illustrated by the Lebensborn program, in which selected Aryan women were bred with members of the SS and the resulting offspring raised in state-approved foster families.
Although the revelations of Nazi atrocities chilled involuntary sterilization in the U.S. after the war, the practice did not completely disappear. In 1958, 574 operations were performed in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. By the time its law was finally repealed in 1974, Virginia had sterilized over 8,000. In April 2007, a woman who was sterilized for eugenic purposes in Indiana in 1972 participated in a ceremony commemorating the victims of that state’s program.
Current Public Health Initiatives
Are dark episodes like the eugenics movement a thing of the past? Maybe not. There are many current public initiatives that could be considered eugenic in the sense that they discourage the birth of children in certain populations, such as the poor. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, for instance, the government in 2001 spent $1.26 billion on reversible contraceptive services and $95 million on sterilization services, virtually all of which were earmarked for the poor. The welfare programs in 24 states stop increasing benefits once a woman has had more than a certain number of children. In Dandridge v. Williams, the Supreme Court upheld this approach in the face of constitutional challenge. The Court found that the state of Maryland did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because it had a reasonable basis for the program, namely, “the state’s legitimate interest in encouraging employment and in avoiding discrimination between welfare families and the families of the working poor.” Interestingly, the state itself had articulated an additional goal–“providing incentives for family planning” — which the Court did not mention.
Some commentators object to calling these programs eugenic because, in contrast to compulsory sterilization or screening, they are in a sense voluntary. A woman does not have to get pregnant or accept welfare. Yet there is one mandatory public health program that is becoming increasingly eugenic: newborn screening. This program began in the 1960s after physician Robert Guthrie developed a screening test for phenylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that can be treated effectively if detected soon after birth. Guthrie also pioneered a method for collecting and transporting the blood samples used for screening on special filter paper, known as “Guthrie cards.” Massachusetts adopted newborn screening on a voluntary basis in 1962 but after President Kennedy’s Advisory Committee on Mental Retardation recommended mandatory screening, states began to enact newborn screening as a legal requirement. By 1973, newborn screening was compulsory in 43 states. Now it is universal.
Pressure from public health officials and groups like the March of Dimes, combined with faster and cheaper technologies such as tandem mass spectrometry and microchip arrays, are causing programs to screen for greater numbers of disorders. The American College of Medical Genetics currently advocates screening for 29 disorders and California now screens for over 70.
Only Maryland, Wyoming and the District of Columbia currently seek parental consent for newborn screening. (Massachusetts recently has begun doing so in a pilot program.) In Maryland, the consent is for the total screening package; parents are not asked to consent to specific tests. Thirty-three states provide an exemption from screening if contrary to parents’ religious beliefs but it is up to the parents to assert the objection without being asked.
In 2005, the Nebraska Supreme Court rejected a parental challenge to newborn screening on religious grounds in a case called Douglas County v. Anaya.3 After a home birth, the Anayas refused to allow a blood sample to be taken and sued the public health department to block enforcement of the law, which contained no exceptions. The court refused to recognize a religious exemption, noting that “[t]he health and safety of the child are of particular concern…”
By focusing on the health and safety of the child, the court makes the case seem no different from the numerous decisions in which the courts refuse to allow parents such as Jehovah’s witnesses to withhold treatment from children for religious reasons. But courts override a parental treatment decision for religious reasons only when the denial of treatment would be fatal or would seriously impair the child’s health. Routine newborn screening does not have such a direct connection to the child’s welfare. The prevalence of PKU in newborns is only about 1 in 16,000. Of the 29 disorders for which the American College of Medical Genetics recommends screening, 12 have a prevalence of less than 1 in 100,000.
Recently, a federal district court upheld the right of a mother to refuse to allow her child to undergo a spinal tap for suspected meningitis.4 The mother did not assert a religious objection but instead felt that the risks of a spinal tap exceeded the benefit in her daughter’s situation. The court held that “[t]he tipping point–the point at which parents lose their substantive due process right to decline medical treatment for their minor child and the State is allowed to exercise its parens patriae interest to compel the child to undergo the treatment–exists when, considering all the circumstances in a particular case, no reasonable parent would decline treatment.” Based on this principle, the question for the Anaya court should have been: Would any reasonable parent refuse newborn screening? Only if the answer is “no” would the court be justified in overriding the parents’ wishes.
In any event, the Supreme Court of Nebraska did not rest its decision in the Anaya case on the need for screening to protect the newborn’s health alone. In addition, the court observed that mandatory screening was necessary in order to address “the potential social burdens created by children who are not identified and treated.”
The eugenics implications of this statement are all the more striking in view of the changing nature of newborn screening programs. Originally, states only screened for disorders such as PKU for which effective treatment must begin soon after birth. However, some of the tests being added to screening panels detect disorders that do not have to be treated at such an early age or, in some cases, are not readily treatable at all. Moreover, some public health advocates are now calling for abandoning the connection between newborn screening and treatment altogether. Screening for untreatable disorders, they argue, could spare the family years of uncertainty once symptoms emerge, provide the child with adjunctive if not curative interventions and permit the child to participate in research on the disorder. In addition, however, they point to the value of screening as a tool in family planning. As one recent article explains, “[a]rguments for considering broader benefits from the early diagnosis that only newborn screening can provide include…knowledge on which to base reproductive decision-making years before a disease would be diagnosed for the affected child…”5 In other words, screening should be expanded so that parents can avoid giving birth to another child with the same disability.
It is one thing for parents to make reproductive decisions in order to prevent the birth of children with disabilities. It is another thing altogether for the government to establish a compulsory genetic screening program to facilitate this objective. This is not to say that public health programs designed to give parents more information about the health status of newborns are a bad idea or that they are on a par with the atrocities of Nazi Germany. But we shouldn’t kid ourselves that they are not eugenic practices.
Bioterrorism
One of the more vigorous efforts now underway to expand the power of public health authorities is being waged as part of the War on Terror. Beginning immediately after 9/11, and spurred on by the subsequent mail-borne anthrax attacks, inspection of our public health infrastructure showed that it was woefully inadequate and incapable of responding effectively to a major bioterrorism incident. This prompted intense efforts to increase public health spending on equipment and training.
In addition, however, some public health zealots believed that the nation’s public health laws needed to be revamped to give public health officials adequate power and discretion to take whatever steps might be necessary to combat bioterrorism. They proposed language for a model state law and, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, enlisted the aid of a “who’s who” of public health officials and advocates to draft a Model State Public Health Act.
An indication of the scope of the powers that would be conferred on public health officials under this law can be seen by considering its provisions for mandatory screening and testing. Under the act, a state or local public health agency may establish a compulsory screening program for any “conditions of public health importance that pose a significant risk or seriously threaten the public’s health” (section 5-106(d)(1)). The terms “significant risk” and “seriously threaten” are not defined in the act but the term “condition of public health importance” is defined to mean “a disease, syndrome, symptom, injury, or other threat to health that is identifiable on an individual or community level and can reasonably be expected to lead to adverse health effects in the community” (section 1-102(6).
Under the model act, could a public health agency therefore make prenatal screening for genetic diseases and conditions mandatory for all pregnant women? The answer is yes, so long as the agency believes that the diseases and conditions, if not detected in utero, pose a significant threat to health that can reasonably be expected to lead to adverse health effects in the community. Is such a belief far fetched? Not necessarily: the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recently called for “routine” prenatal screening for Down’s syndrome”.
Another provision of the model act states that a public health agency may make participation in such a screening program a condition “of participating in or receiving a service or privilege” (section 5-106(d)(2)). Accordingly, women who refused to be screened could be denied health and welfare benefits.
Conclusion
The dark side of public health is most vividly reflected in the eugenics movement, which it championed. It is noteworthy that only three cases involving public health law have reached the U.S. Supreme Court. One, Skinner v. Oklahoma, decided in the middle of World War II, invalidated a state law requiring certain habitual criminals to be sterilized but not others.6 This is the only Supreme Court case in which the justices curbed the public health power of the state. But the Court’s opinion left open the possibility that a law that sterilized all habitual criminals would be constitutional. The other two cases were Jacobson, the vaccination case, and the eugenics case, Buck v. Bell, both discussed above.
What is striking about the Buck, case is that Justice Holmes’s opinion sustaining the constitutionality of Virginia’s eugenic sterilization law cited only one previous case as legal precedent: Jacobson. Holmes felt that the broad public health powers upheld in Jacobson extended so far that the state could sterilize people whose genes were deemed defective. Even more striking, the Buck case has never been overruled.
As Justice Holmes made clear in Buck, public health officials may sacrifice the welfare of individuals in order to promote the welfare of the public. One enduring question is who gets to decide what constitutes the public welfare. Under the Model State Public Health Act, it is the public health authorities and the act places few constraints on their discretion. A second question is how far the authorities may go in achieving a public health objective. Under the model act, their power is virtually unlimited.
A recent news story described a patient with drug-resistant TB who, believing himself to have been treated successfully, refused to wear a face mask. Public health officials accordingly quarantined him in a hospital jail cell, where the jailers refused to allow him to have access to a clock radio, television or cellphone. After news reports pointed out that the man was only under quarantine, not arrest, his cellphone was restored and the authorities promised to return his TV.
Public health practices must strike the right balance between individual and community welfare. The TB patient’s plight may seem trivial. After all, TB is a scourge and drug-resistant TB is on the increase. But the nation was founded on the principle that the power of the state must be exercised within constitutional limits and overly zealous measures in the past have left an indelible stain on the history of public health.

Dr. Rima’s Ballad: “Say Not Silver…”
Does Silver Causes Cytokine Storms? No
—————–
Say Not Silver
Say not “silver” for the flu of pig
Lest the Phama gods be angry.
Say not “echinaca sprig”
Says Sibelius. Sang she,
“Tamiflu and vaccines only
May you tout as cure for flu.
Nature’s cures, let them be lonely,
Nothing plant-ish may you do.”
“Worst of all, far worse than C
Colloid silver, or, worse, nano.
Squalene’s safe as safe can be:
Get sick and die. See? That’s the plan-O!”
Speaking with a silver tongue
Into major trouble gets you.
Staying healthy, staying young,
Means FDA will surely fret you
Some fear immune cell health
Storms of cytokines will bring you.
“Back off silver, save yourself
Lest Death’s keen dart surely sting you.”
“Pish”, I say, and “Tush” as well
Review the research deep with care.
Silver does not increase cell
Mediated immune share
So storms of cytokines, while real,
Are not involved. We need not fear
That silver will cease to appeal
As swine flu slayer without peer.
My advice to you, for feeling dandy,
Facing Flying Pig or other trouble
Is “Keep the nano silver handy
If you need it, just take double!”

Does Silver Causes Cytokine Storms? No
The US FDA, known in the circles in which I travel as the “Fraud and Death Administration”, has apparently decided that the First Amendment is neither binding upon it nor of much interest. It does that in two ways: first, it exerts gag order authority upon people who want to let you know the truth about what a natural product, substance, molecule or preparation does to enhance or support your health, whether you have any financial or other connection to the product or not. Only a very narrow type of health claim, called a “Structure/Function Claim” is “permitted” by the self designated “protectors” of your knowledge. They do not have the law on their side, but they do have the enormous might of the US Government, including their own legal department and the US Department of Justice. Small manufacturers rarely have the resources to fight their illegal, unconstitutional and absurd rulings. Occasionally, however, they do, and when they do, with attorneys like Natural Solutions Foundation Trustee Ralph Fucetola, JD, they often come out on the right side of justice. That road trip, however, is very, very expensive.
The Natural Solutions Foundation enthusiastically supports Rep. Ron Paul, MD (TX-R) in his bid to pass two laws which he has introduced into the US House of Representatives which would untie the gag which the FDA has unconstitutionally placed on us all.

The second way that the FDA stifles your knowledge is to tell you in advance, called ‘prior restraint’, what you may or may not say about something. In this case, they say that it is forbidden speech to tell anyone that ANYTHING except vaccines (which are totally unproven for EITHER safety or efficacy against the Swine Flu) or drugs, specifically the very dangerous Tamiflu (c) and Relenza (c) may be used to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure H1N1 virus.
Well, so much for immunology, biochemistry, virology, nutritional medicine and common sense. This amazing flu virus is so novel that not only does it travel through time, leading to at least two patents for the manufacture of the vaccines to “prevent” it to be applied for and granted BEFORE it appeared mysteriously, like Venus from the forehead of Zeus, from absolutely nowhere, but it also makes you sick by mechanisms that have nothing to do with physiology, pathology or any other “ology”. If it were not so astonishingly mysterious, the many ways in which the body counters viruses would apply. Alas, no vitamin, no nutrient, no immune support, nothing but two Big Pharma money makers will have any impact on the nasty, swiny, birdy, magical thing.
But wait! There’s ever so much more.
Now we have the Cytokine Storm which is the source of death in the Swine Flu! Never mind the fact that it is not clear from any forensically meaningful evidence of any kind that
1. The Swine Flu can be diagnosed with any degree of certainly since tests seem to be running about 90% inaccurate, making chicken entrails a better diagnostic system than the tests approved – and rapidly abandoned – by CDC and WHO.
2. The Swine Flu actually exists. No independent scientist of whom I am aware has actually characterized the virus, which requires isolating it from an organism, introducing it into another organism and reproducing the disease. That may have happened, but none of the scientists whom I know of have any reports that this has, indeed, occurred.
3. No one that I am aware of knows how the Swine Flu kills because there is no clear evidence that it ever has killed anyone. It appears, and this is not clear, that some people have died WITH the Swine Flu virus, assuming that it actually exists. However, all of them had underlying medical conditions which, as far as I am aware, is what killed them or, like the pregnant woman “with” Swine Flu (unconfirmed by lab tests) in India who was in Intensive Care in Mumbai (Bombay) when her baby was born and died, they may well have been killed by Tamiflu, a dangerous and ineffective anti-viral making Hoffman LaRoche, Donald Rumsfeld and, reportedly, President Obama and his cronies a great deal of money. So the idea that because the 1918 virus has been retroactively decided to kill by “Cytokine Storm” this flu kills the same way, given the fact that it does not actually seem to do very much killing, is beyond absurd. Hysterical, yes. Great press, yes. But science? Oh, I think not.
So now we come to the question of whether silver, especially nano silver, is the cause of a cytokine storm reaction and could, if it is, be the cause of a cytokine storm if one is infected with Swine Flu and then serve as a contributory factor in death.
That question was posed by a woman who had read something of the sort in the newsletter of a very popular health guru. Generally, I admire this person for his way of sharing information and for getting things right most of the time. This time, however, I am afraid that he got the information wrong. We all do sometimes, and his credibility should not be in the least tarnished by this, but he is not, I believe, correct. Silver, especially nano silver, is a wonderful help in dealing with all types of pathogens since it does NOT work by elevating inflammatory cytokines so even if the body does not have the resources to raise a cytokine response, nano silver is exceptionally helpful in combating disease causing organisms.
Here is the letter my correspondent (name removed) sent to me:
Dear Dr. Rima,
You are my Nutronix sponsor: Can you please respond to this from Dr. X:
“…there may be significant problems in using nano silver for swine flu. We were initially going to carry one of the finest silver products in our store, but I recently learned of new information that changed my mind.
“While silver will likely work to kill the swine flu virus, in many healthy individuals it is likely to elicit a severe cytokine storm reaction. This is basically a severe allergic inflammatory reaction that can occur in your lungs, and could be fatal….” [Emphasis added – REL]
I have healed my body of cancer without surgery chemo or radiation but I can not recommend this silver nor sell nor use it anymore without knowing about this allegation of the severe cytokine reaction that may lead to death. Please tell me what you know about this.
What I am reading is this, Thanks, [Name Removed – REL]
A cytokine storm, or hypercytokinemia is a potentially fatal immune reaction consisting of a positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells, with highly elevated levels of various cytokines.[Emphasis added – REL]
When the immune system is fighting pathogens, cytokines signal immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the site of infection. In addition, cytokines activate those cells, stimulating them to produce more cytokines. Normally, this feedback loop is kept in check by the body. However, in some instances, the reaction becomes uncontrolled, and too many immune cells are activated in a single place. The precise reason for this is not entirely understood but may be caused by an exaggerated response when the immune system encounters a new and highly pathogenic invader. Cytokine storms have potential to do significant damage to body tissues and organs. If a cytokine storm occurs in the lungs, for example, fluids and immune cells such as macrophages may accumulate and eventually block off the airways, potentially resulting in death.
The cytokine storm (hypercytokinemia) is the systemic expression of a healthy and vigorous immune system resulting in the release of more than 150 known inflammatory mediators (cytokines, oxygen free radicals, and coagulation factors). Both pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin-1, and Interleukin-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 10 and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist) are elevated in the serum of patients experiencing a cytokine storm.
It is believed that cytokine storms were responsible for many of the deaths during the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed a disproportionate number of young adults.[1] In this case, a healthy immune system may have been a liability rather than an asset. Preliminary research results from Hong Kong also indicated this as the probable reason for many deaths during the SARS epidemic in 2003.[6] Human deaths from the bird flu H5N1 usually involve cytokine storms as well.[7]Recent reports of high mortality among healthy young adults in the 2009 swine flu outbreak has led to speculation that cytokine storms could be responsible for these deaths.[8] However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have indicated that symptoms reported from this strain so far are similar to those of normal seasonal flu,[9] with the CDC stating that there is “insufficient information to date about clinical complications of this variant of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus infection”
I thought that was a totally fair, intelligent question.
The problem is that it is based on assumptions about the mechanism of action of silver that are incorrect. Here is my response to her:
Dear [Name Removed]
Good question. I am afraid that I believe Dr. X to be incorrect. A search of the available literature shows only one study in which silver has any impact on inflammatory cytokines, and the impact is negligible.
http://www.woundsresearch.com/content/effectiveness-inflammatory-cytokines-induced-sericin-compared-sericin-combination-with-silve
And here, a discussion of the nanocrystallin coating of Anticoat, a wound dressing at
http://www.worldwidewounds.com/News/News2003.html
This shows no impact, either.
See for example,
This article states:
“Interleukin-5 (IL-5), interferon-? (INF-?), and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) protein levels were measured to determine the activation state of PBMCs.
At levels of over 15 ppm, nano-silver was found to have a significant cytotoxic effect on PBMCs, and PHA-induced cytokine productions were significantly inhibited by nano-silver (IL-5: at 10 ppm, INF-? and TNF-? at 3 ppm).
Although nano-silver had a cytotoxic effect at high concentration, nano-silver modulated cytokine production in a concentration-dependent manner. These experimental data suggest that nano-silver could be used to treat immunologic and inflammatory diseases.”
Based on my study of the literature, I will continue to recommend nano silver for all infections, whether with bacteria, mycoplasma, parasites or viruses.
Thanks for bringing up this important question.
Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima
So, as you can see, there is no credible evidence that silver, nano or otherwise, will initiate a cytokine storm. The Natural Solutions Foundation strongly recommends the Nano Silver at www.Nutronix.com/NaturalSolutions without hesitation, although the FDA does not want me to tell you that it would kill the H1N1 virus. So I am not telling you that. If you have a flu and take the Nano Silver dose I use, 1-2 cap fulls once or twice a day, either in the mouth for 2 minutes, then swallowed or in a bit of water and consumed, you will do so on your own. Since nobody is going to diagnose Swine Flu accurately, my guess is that you need to take it when you get symptoms that might be flu. Who know? It might be Swine Flu. Or not. Who cares? Only Big Pharma.
Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima

Mike Adams, a good friend and fellow freedom fighter, is now saying publicly what I have been saying for months: the US is set for mandatory vaccinations, despite their denial of any such intent. They will call them “voluntary” because you can take them or accept involuntary quarantine instead. That is called “duress” in the law and invalidates any agreement you might make under that condition. How does that work? Very well if we let it! Read Push Back Truth and the Ministry of Lies, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3279, for more detail on this DoubleThink deceit.
Try telling that to the trooper or military person who is hauling you off to a prison or FEMA camp after you said you did not want a vaccine with 1 million times more squalene than the vaccines that felled so many healthy young men and women with Gulf War Syndrome after they were injected with Vaccine A by the military in a heinous experiment from which hundreds of thousands of young men and women have suffered and died. 1 million times more.
Make no mistake. The H1N1 “Pandemic” is only the first of many. You will hear again and again that there is another “mystery” plague which we need to be vaccinated against or it will kill hundreds of millions of people. Medicago, for example, is testing a new type of vaccine for Avian Flu (we are anything but done with that one!) and the bonanza will continue, pushing poison into us and our children while we sicken and, oh-so-profitably die. http://www.lsblog.org/blog/?p=6980
The first of the blatant fascist States, given an excuse to become an anti Constitutional land of terror by the absurd and possibly non-existent H1N1 “pandemic” is Massachusetts. Please read what my good friend, and fellow freedom fighter, Mike Adams, has to say about the evaporation of your freedoms, in MA, and outside of it.
Once a cradle of liberty, today a bill awaiting passage by the MA House of Representatives could signal the rapid and final collapse of the Constitution of the United States.
Tyrannies always cloak their misdoings in high-minded words meant to delude and mislead the gullible. This time is no exception. Violating one Amendment after another, authorizing warantless search and seizure, incarceration without trial, punitive fines for protecting your body’s integrity, the list goes on and on. And it is, of course, all for the best purpose: for protecting you from the “deadly” “pandemic” H1N1 virus.
Except it is not deadly. It may not even exist, since I have yet to find a solid, unbiased scientific paper which documents that it actually exists, it certainly is not diagnosed with any accuracy by any available means (which would make good sense if it is a total hoax, a complete fraud) and the untested, unnecessary and unsafe vaccines which are being touted – at gunpoint, it would seem – to either prevent or treat it are far worse, according to UK and Australian doctors and nurses, than the supposedly lethal disease.
New York Nurses, too, state that they see no need for the jab in light of the nature of the disease (trivial) and the risks of the squalene-laced vaccine.
Please take a few minutes to read the full article below which, although it pertains to Massachusetts, actually is a blue print for every State in the Union.
This bill conforms nicely to the State Emergency Medical Health Powers Act, of which nearly every state has already passed some version. As previously reported in these health freedom blogs, under these acts, warantless invasion and property seizure is permitted, mandatory forced vaccination or incarceration are permitted and the closure of all roads into or out of cities, towns and states are permitted. That is precisely what the MA law sets up.
Take action while there is still time. Organize signing events in your community to get every person you can reach to sign the Action Item demanding the right to reject this false and diabolical “choice” of either accepting a potentially deadly vaccine or being incarcerated for an indefinite period.
Click here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275, to take action to demand the right to say “NO!” to forced vaccination or quarantine and here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27791.
Once these laws are passed in your state, and the CDC is shipping vaccines, there will not be any legal action you can take. Time is extraordinarily short.
Act now. Mobilize your neighbors. Now.
And, while you are thinking about it, please make a tax deductible recurring donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189, to help defray our costs, including our legal costs.
If your donation ends in “$6” we will know that it is for legal defense. That’s $5006, $16, $256 or whatever you can afford. It’s your health. It’s your freedom. Health Freedom IS your First Freedom.

PS – In case you think we are going off the “deep end” here, take a look at this Federal Government web page that has a form on it for the States to use to force you from your home, violate your Right to Self Shield and, in general, set up the apparatus of Medical Fascism:
http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/Facility%20Quarantine%20Order%20novelflu%20filled%20in%204-30-09.pdf
The CDC “recommends” the jab and then the States mandate it… all quite legal and all very fascistic.
——————————–
Forced Vaccinations, quarantine camps, MA Senate reportedly passes “Pandemic Response Bill 2028”
Natural News | August 29, 2009 | Natural News Staff
NaturalNews) The United States of America is devolving into medical fascism and Massachusetts is leading the way with the passage of a new bill, the “Pandemic Response Bill” 2028, reportedly just passed by the MA state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House. This bill suspends virtually all Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone “suspected” of being infected to submit to interrogations, “decontaminations” and vaccines.
It’s also sets fines up to $1,000 per day for anyone who refuses to submit to quarantines, vaccinations, decontamination efforts or to follow any other verbal order by virtually any state-licensed law enforcement or medical personnel. You can read the text yourself here: http://www.mass.gov/legis/bills/senate/186/st02/st02028.htm
Here’s some of the language contained in the bill:
(Violation of 4th Amendment: Illegal search and seizure)
During either type of declared emergency, a local public health authority… may exercise authority… to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises; to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility; to destroy any material; to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
(Violation of 14th Amendment; illegal arrest without a warrant)
…an officer authorized to serve criminal process may arrest without a warrant any person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has violated an order given to effectuate the purposes of this subsection and shall use reasonable diligence to enforce such order. [Gunpoint]
(Government price controls)
The attorney general, in consultation with the office of consumer affairs and business regulation, and upon the declaration by the governor that a supply emergency exists, shall take appropriate action to ensure that no person shall sell a product or service that is at a price that unreasonably exceeds the price charged before the emergency.
“Involuntary Transportation” (also known as kidnapping)
Law enforcement authorities, upon order of the commissioner or his agent or at the request of a local public health authority pursuant to such order, shall assist emergency medical technicians or other appropriate medical personnel in the involuntary transportation of such person to the tuberculosis treatment center.
$1,000 / day in fines
Any person who knowingly violates an order, as to which noncompliance poses a serious danger to public health as determined by the commissioner or the local public health authority, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 30 days or a fine of not more than one thousand dollars per day that the violation continues, or both.
Forced vaccinations
Furthermore, when the commissioner or a local public health authority within its jurisdiction determines that either or both of the following measures are necessary to prevent a serious danger to the public health the commissioner or local public health authority may exercise the following authority: (1) to vaccinate or provide precautionary prophylaxis to individuals as protection against communicable disease…
Forced quarantine for those who refuse (illegal imprisonment without charge)
An individual who is unable or unwilling to submit to vaccination or treatment shall not be required to submit to such procedures but may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to section 96 of chapter 111 if his or her refusal poses a serious danger to public health or results in uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a disease or condition that poses a serious danger to public health, as determined by the commissioner, or a local public health authority operating within its jurisdiction.
Arrest for refusal to be “decontaminated”
If an individual is unable or unwilling to submit to decontamination or procedures necessary for diagnosis, the decontamination or diagnosis procedures may proceed only pursuant to an order of the superior court… During the time necessary to obtain such court order, such individual may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to section 96 of chapter 111 if his or her refusal to submit to decontamination or diagnosis procedures poses a serious danger to public health or results in uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a disease or condition that poses a serious danger to public health.
Interrogation
When the commissioner or a local public health authority within its jurisdiction reasonably believes that a person may have been exposed to a disease or condition that poses a threat to the public health, in addition to their authority under section 96 of chapter 111, the commissioner or the local public health authority may detain the person for as long as may be reasonably necessary for the commissioner or the local public health authority, to convey information to the person regarding the disease or condition and to obtain contact information… If a person detained under subsection (1) refuses to provide the information requested, the person may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to section 96 of chapter 111 if his or her refusal poses a serious danger to public health…
Forced isolation and quarantine
An order for isolation or quarantine may include any individual who is unwilling or unable to undergo vaccination, precautionary prophylaxis, medical treatment, decontamination, medical examinations, tests, or specimen collection and whose refusal of one or more of these measures poses a serious danger to public health or results in uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a disease or condition that poses a serious danger to public health.
Forced entry into any home or building…
There’s a lot more in this bill, including language that allows Mass. police to enter any home or building without a search warrant, to destroy any object or building they suspect may pose a threat to public safety, to order the closing and / or decontamination of any facility using highly toxic chemical decontamination agents, and to arrest, detain and interrogate anyone who gets in their way.
Meanwhile, all state law enforcement and medical personnel are granted complete immunity from prosecution for their part in violating your Constitutional rights. So if they violate your right to due process, or they accidentally destroy your home, or they kill your family dog because they suspect it might be infected, you have absolutely zero recourse.
Under this bill, Massachusetts becomes a medical police state. There is no debating it. It’s all written, clear as day, in this law: The citizens of Massachusetts will have no rights, period. The Constitution is ancient history. You are now the property of the State.
Kiss your freedoms goodbye Massachusetts, it seems, has never met a vaccine it didn’t like. This is the same state that rounded up the parents of schoolchildren who hadn’t been vaccinated, then corralled them into a courtroom (with attack dogs standing guard outside) and forced vaccine injections onto all the schoolchildren under the threat of jail time for parents who resisted.
Remember, readers, that this is all taking place in the “land of the free,” a nation that former President George Bush claimed was so envied around the world that terrorists attacked America because they “hate freedom” and wanted to destroy our way of life. But terrorists need no help attacking freedom as long as Massachusetts is in the vaccine game, because this latest form of “gunpoint medicine” destroys freedom for everyday Americans in a way that terrorists could have never hoped to accomplish with all the bombs in the world.
Massachusetts, it seems, has done what terrorists could not: It has turned “free” Americans into medical slave subjects who no longer have any freedom to decide the details of their own medical care. All options have been stripped from them but one: The Big Pharma option. That’s the one that involves using untested, unproven and potentially dangerous vaccines that could paralyze you or even kill you. All to defend you against a virus that’s so weak, almost anyone with decent levels of vitamin D and basic nutrition can resist the virus without incident.
But Massachusetts, as you’ll see below, is just the beginning. It turns out that the whole nation could soon find itself under a similar forced vaccination policy…
Isolation camps, forced vaccinations and more In 2006, former President George Bush signed into law the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP). It gives power to the Secretary of the U.S. government’s Health and Human Services department (HHS) to declare any infectious disease a “national emergency” and therefore require mandatory vaccination of the entire population. Because of the existence of this PREP Act, the entire population of the USA is now but one pen stroke away from being subjected to mandatory swine flu vaccinations at gunpoint.
Those who resist such vaccines will be arrested and taken away for “isolation” in domestic prison camps. They can’t just leave vaccine refusers free to live among the population, of course, because that would send the message that anyone can refuse the vaccines without consequence. So they’ll arrest those who refuse the vaccine, labeling them “a threat to national security” (enemies of the state) and imprison them without trial, without charges and without any legal representation whatsoever.
Meanwhile, all those who take part in enforcing these crimes against the American people will be granted complete immunity. From the HHS website: “[the Secretary may] issue a declaration… that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of (vaccine or other pharmaceutical) countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency…”
There are other laws already on the books that strip Americans of virtually all Constitutional rights in a “pandemic emergency” scenario. One such act is The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (S. 3678), which probably merits another article altogether.
Have no illusions: At the stroke of a pen, the Constitutional rights of all Americans will be immediately suspended. Mandatory vaccinations and “decontaminations” will kick in and the mass arrest of resisters will begin. There will be no court, no trial, no jury and no due process. Your actions will be dictated to you by a law enforcement officer or a health care worker who has been granted complete immunity, so if you just happen to get kicked around a bit (or shot), there’s really nothing you can do about it.
Some might argue these are necessary actions to save a nation from a deadly pandemic. And yet they forget that the pandemic has been intentionally allowed to worsen by censoring information about vitamin D and natural remedies that could stop it. Somebody at the top, in other words, wants this pandemic to get really bad, perhaps because it allows them to invoke precisely the draconian response I’ve outlined in this article. Seizing power in a Democracy cannot be accomplished by simply declaring war on the rights of the People. Rather, a situation must be engineered where the People are so desperate that they beg to be controlled. Releasing a pandemic into the wild is the perfect way to accomplish precisely that.
Timing
None of these laws will be invoked before the vaccines are ready in large numbers, of course. Part of the purpose in all this is to prop up Big Pharma profits with massive vaccination efforts, so until the vaccines are actually available, don’t expect to see any declarations of a public emergency.
It might take until October or November before the vaccines are readily available in sufficient quantity to inject just half the U.S. population. But once that milestone is reached, a declaration of a pandemic emergency is imminent. Trust me on this point: They won’t let all those hundreds of millions of vaccines sit around unused; they’ll make sure they get injected into the People as soon as possible, because that’s the only way to justify making more.
So the sequence of events we’re likely to see here are:
#1) Waiting on vaccine manufacturing to procure at least 150 million doses in the U.S. Probable time frame = October.
#2) Hyping up a few local swine flu breakouts in schools in order to justify step #3. Probable time frame = November / December.
#3) Declaring a full-blown national emergency and announcing mandatory vaccinations for everyone (to use up the vaccines that are now available). Probable time frame = January / February / March.
#4) If the disease continues to spread, this is when you’ll see forced entry into homes and buildings, forced “decontamination” sprayings, widespread arrests and forced quarantine of resisters, Martial Law and a complete crackdown on freedoms (especially in the inner cities). This will likely continue through the winter until Spring arrives, bringing the sunshine that will suppress the virus around the May 2010 time frame.
All this is written in black ink. It’s already part of the pandemic response plan. Body bags, FEMA camps and much more.
Two years ago, this was all the domain of conspiracy theory “wingnuts.” Now it’s State law. Now it’s being openly discussed in security conferences and health care meetings. What will we do when the hospital beds are full? How will we accomplish the “involuntary transportation” of those who are infected? Are there enough zip-tie handcuffs to go around? How do we disarm and arrest citizens who refuse to be vaccinated? How do we prevent National Guard troops from becoming infected themselves?
These are the questions circulating now at high levels, all across the world. And the answers are always the same: Abandon freedoms. Strip the People of any rights. Dictate from the top down and arrest anyone who gets in your way.
Welcome to the Land of the Free. I hope you are prepared for what looks to be coming, because this isn’t America anymore, folks. This is Amerika, and the Constitutional rights you thought you had are about to be written right off the books.

Three for Liberty Campaign: We Have Three Weeks Before Congress Reconvenes!
The Natural Solutions Foundation Has Identified 3 Key Issues Impacting Our Liberty.
Here’s what you can help us accomplish:
1) Protect our right to Self-Shield – NOT be required by laws already in place to take the “swine flu” jab.
2) Reverse the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn and share the benefits of supplements and herbs.
3) STOP the enactment of (sic) “Food Safety” bill, HR 2749, which allows the FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.”
Visit the Three For Liberty Campaign to Take Action on All Three Now!
Three for Liberty: The Campaign:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209
The 3 Printable Leaflets:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
During the next three weeks, while:
* Congress is on its August Recess and you can easily visit your Congressmen and women in their home districts to explain why you want the right to self shield, rather than be forced to take a vaccine or be incarcerated
* The dangerous Swine Flu vaccine is being tested on children and pregnant women* NOT for safety, but for dosage, and has not yet been deployed on a mandatory basis
* The Senate has not yet voted on the total give-away of our food supply to the very forces that are killing us with dangerous and unsafe food, Agribiz
* Every Member of Congress can be educated about the importance of HR 3394 and 3395 in protecting both our health, our health freedom and our Constitutional right to free speech
Right now, you have an outstanding opportunity to act decisively and powerfully to speak for Liberty, and protect her – and yourself. The next three weeks, while Congress is on recess, can be the time when we, the net roots of health freedom, act in such compelling numbers that we do, indeed, protect our health and our freedom from the forces that are trying to overwhelm both of them.
* Vaccine “testing” began yesterday at St. Louis University although the FDA said on July 23, 2009 that it would approve the Swine Flu vaccine for general use BEFORE safety tests were completed – and this for a disease which is “less severe than the seasonal flu.”
Reality check: while you are being reassured that vaccination will be voluntary, two facts bear recalling:
1. As we have previously documented, in 2005 the World Health Organization gave itself the authority to dissolve sovereign governments and take control should there be a “pandemic”. That determination did not stipulate a real pandemic, any pandemic will do.
That declaration states, ” Under special pandemic plans enacted around the world including the USA, in 2005, national governments are to be dissolved in the event of a pandemic emergency and replaced by special crisis committees, which take charge of the health and security infrastructure of a country, and which are answerable to the WHO and EU in Europe and to the WHO and UN in North America.”
This suggests very strongly that the faux pandemic was orchestrated disease or no disease and therefore represents a serious threat to liberty as well as to the social order.
2. Although HHS Secretary Sibelius, Dr. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and other government officials repeated on CSPAN today that there will be no forced flu vaccinations, the situation is a bit more complex: If Pandemic Emergency powers are invoked, you could be given the “choice” to accept a flu shot or not. If you do, whatever the consequences are, you can sue no one, and no one is liable for your damages (or death). If you “choose” not to accept the “voluntary” flu shot, you will very likely then be faced with incarceration/quarantine/detention.
Despite the legalism, I would call that mandatory vaccination, wouldn’t you?
You Are the Key.
You Decide to Mobilize All of Your Contacts on These Three Key Issues and We Are Unstoppable
The Issues:
1. Swine Flu Vaccination: Big Pharma wants you vaccinated. The US government wants you vaccinated. Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo-Smith Kline, and Sanofi Pasteur executives are members of the advisory group that on July 13th recommended mandatory H1N1 vaccination of everyone in all 194 countries that belong to the WHO.
The plans for the final globalization of the planet needs you to be vaccinated.*
You, of course, do not need to be vaccinated for a trivial disease which has been inflated into a Level 6 Pandemic by the agency which can then take command of the political power of the world.
But here in the US, you have already sent 1.3 MILLION emails to Congress, State Legislators, Governors, Secretary Sibelius of HHS, Secretary Napolitano of DHS and the White House demanding the right to self shield.
Think for a moment what actually happens if, in addition to submitting an email for each member of your family, you mobilize your circle of influence to do the same, and they spread this populist demand further still? What happens is that we get what we demand: the right to NOT take a vaccine for Swine Flu if we don’t want it AND the right not to be incarcerated if we reject the vaccine.

2. End FDA/FTC Gag Rule on Health and Food: Dr. Ron Paul has given us two new bills that go to the heart of the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn, and to share, what benefits food components like supplements and herbs can give us.
These bills need to be supported by asking your members of Congress to become co-sponsors and return our Constitutional Rights to us.
3. Prevent Total Industrialization of US Food Supply: The House has passed HR 2749, which allows the corrupt and deadly FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.
For more reasons to oppose HR 2749, see: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3289
We know these outcomes are important to you. The Natural Solutions Foundation has prepared 3 helpful Resource Documents at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241to serve as talking point papers when you visit your Congressmen and women during the recess, to share with those whom you are mobilizing, to serve as information points for letters to the editor, to share with the people who shop in your health food store, etc.

Share These Three Health Store Leaflets for Three Weeks to Save Health Freedom
As Mark Twain is alleged to have opined, “No Man’s Life Liberty or Property is Safe…While the Legislature is in Session” – and certainly no person’s health freedom and food freedom are safe either. Well, Congress is not in session at the moment, and we have about three weeks to educate our representatives while they are home. And as you may have noticed in the media, they are hearing these freedom truths from their constituents!
Please attend any “town hall meetings” held by your representatives and let them know that your personal health freedom is as important an issue the “health care” debate, which is really mostly about who will pay for conventional medical treatment, and how will it be rationed. To the contrary, we’re concerned about Natural Solutions, so we need to concentrate on protecting people from toxic drugs (including vaccines) and from toxic foods as well. Our agenda is not the same as the agenda being portrayed on the mass media. The 3 Leaflets have bullet point information for you to use in educating your representatives about our Health Freedom Agenda.
Thus, the focus of our Three for Liberty Campaign, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209, our Three Weeks Campaign, needs to be educating decision makers, but also educating the concerned public – people who “get it” and understand that Health Freedom is Our First Freedom and people who CAN “get it” if you help them in that process. Therefore, we invite you to help us, by printing the three Health Food Store Leaflets attached to this blog entry and posting them at your local health food store, food co-op or similar commercial or public venue and posting them. Please print and copy as many as you can. Please re-post them on the Internet. We need to make these posters GO VIRAL!

Gag Rule on Swine Flu options is a perfect example of FDA violation of our rights. I am not allowed to tell you that Nano silver, Vitamin C, MSM, and other immune boosters and enhances are good for dealing with Swine Flu and coming out the other side of it, quite literally.
www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
You probably know that the FDA currently literally forbids telling you truthfully that anything other than vaccines and Tamiflu or Relenza can “treat” the Swine flu. That type of gag regulation is exactly what Ron Paul’s two bills are designed to eliminate. But until they do, all I can do is tell you that IF I could exercise my First Amendment rights as a free American, I would tell you about the fantastic effectiveness and safety record of nano silver and colloidal silver in dealing with all pathogens.
Meanwhile, it is clear that the forces arrayed against our health freedom will not rest until they either destroy those freedoms or we win this enormous war.
Of course you know where you can obtain the same Silver Solution we use, and help the Foundation at the same time:

Toxic Danger Alert! Warning: Graphic Images.
‘Agent Orange.’ ‘Dioxin.’ The very words bring a shudder of horror – horror for the damage to our troops and their offspring that Monsanto’s (and Dow Chemical’s) chemical weapons inflicted on Americans, horror for the ecological devastation that the herbicide/defoliant inflicted on the ecosystem of South East Asia, from which recovery is far from certain over the next thousand years, horror for the devastation brought to the Vietnamese people, both friend and foe, whose lives – and deaths – have been so hideously distorted by US weaponry… and horror for the decades of denial and whitewash imposed by the US Government about its prior knowledge of the devastating effects of dioxin on the living and the unborn, on the biosphere and on life for untold generations to come. This ‘Prior knowledge’ is the very definition of a crime against humanity. The world looks with horror at the horror wrought by the US in Viet Nam because of its use of Agent Orange. And now, the very people who, along with Dow Chemical) brought us this horror half a world away are bringing it all back home.
Agent Orange is a mixture of 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D, manufactured by Monsanto. Our Foundation President, General Bert, is a Viet Nam vet whose Agent Orange exposure there has given him cancer 3 separate times- 3 separate, unrelated cancers – while the US Government denied any connection to any ongoing or sustained damage from Agent Orange, while the Veteran’s Administration, the FDA and the US Congress denied what they knew and allowed untold suffering and death. Finally, decades later, after many of the Agent Orange-injured service men and women were dead, they were forced to acknowledge that there is a strong relationship between Agent Orange and cancer, birth defects and a host of other deadly and life-damaging disorders and conditions.
Of course, one of our strong supporters tells me that when her Viet Nam vet husband and she had a tragically deformed Agent Orange baby who died soon after birth, the US Government quietly offered them a few thousand dollars in “compensation” for the Agent Orange-related death of their child. So while denying the connection, the Government was paying off those who, unlike the service men themselves, could sue and bring this matter into an open court, thus establishing their prior knowledge.
This kind of behavior for Monsanto is nothing new. It appears that companies like Monsanto have been poisoning the planet for quite a long time. According to Monsanto Watch Factsheet, http://www.monsantowatch.org/index.php?page=none –
“The world’s center of PCB manufacturing was Monsanto’s plant on the outskirts of East St. Louis, Illinois, which has the highest rate of fetal death and immature births in the state. By 1982, nearby Times Beach, Missouri, was found to be so thoroughly contaminated with dioxin, a by-product of PCB manufacturing, that the government ordered it evacuated. Dioxins are endocrine and immune system disruptors, cause congenital birth defects, reproductive and developmental problems, and increase the incidence of cancer, heart disease and diabetes in laboratory animals.”
Stay With Me Here…
First, we need to talk about Nano Silver, the safest and most powerful anti-pathogen agent I have ever encountered. Nano Silver was approved by the EPA as a surface cleaner for hospitals, spas, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, daycare centers, etc., on the basis of its extraordinary effectiveness (killing every pathogen against which it was tired, whether bacterial, viral, mycoplasma, parasite or otherwise) and its total lack of toxic impact on the environment. Silver has a long and honorable history as a health aid since it is safe, effective, requires no storage and is really cheap compared to drugs, which are both dangerous and expensive. For that reason, the Natural Solutions Foundation recommends that you stock up on this “Swiss Army Knife for Your Medicine Chest”(TM) with the Nano silver product in which I place the most trust, Silver Biotics by American Biological Laboratories. This extraordinary product, which anyone can take, regardless of other health concerns or medications they are using – and which will NOT turn your skin blue!!! – is available at www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions.
Of course, BECAUSE it is safe, effective and puts no money into the coffers of its Big Pharma masters, the FDA has been on a silver rampage for decades, attempting over and over to ban this healthful substance when it was only available as ionic silver or colloidal silver which are good, but not as reliable or predictable as Nano silver because particle size varies widely and effectiveness depends on particle size.
Apparently, someone in FDA-land realized that Nano silver had been approved as safe and effective over in EPA-land and decided to do something about it. The FDA, which allows healthy infants to be experimented upon with known carcinogenic, nerve-damaging agents called “Pesticides” (as in the CHAMP “studies” in Duval County, FL) does not want anyone to have access to non-drug options for anything. In this they are the Drug Cartel’s enforcement thugs…
In fact, the health freedom headlines this week included the FDA’s recent action to seize and destroy, and/or bring criminal charges against any product/company which claimed to either prevent or treat Swine Flu, whether or not such claims were true! (See http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/h1n1flu/ – REL) The only options the FDA says we are permitted have in order to manage the so-called “Swine Flu Pandemic,” which causes a disease which is so trivial that according to what I must believe is a rather red-faced CDC and WHO, the disease rarely causes symptoms and when it does, virtually never requires medical attention or hospitalization are listed below. (By the way, the FDA has unwittingly given us a nice list of products we should support!)
In fact, there is no conclusive evidence to make it clear that anyone at all, anywhere in the world has ever died from Swine Flu. They might -or might not – have died WITH Swine Flu, but there is nothing to suggest than anyone has died FROM Swine Flu. This just goes, by the way, to show how very primitive our understanding of the human immune system is since several efforts, including SARS and the intentionally weaponized Avian Flu virus, have been made and failed abysmally to create a working Pandemic.
See our break-though White Paper on the Right to Self-Quarantine and Self-Shielding for a review of some of the attempts we believe have been made recently to weaponize both the flu and to weaponize the flu vaccine to trigger the pandemic that WHO and CDC tell us is “inevitable.” http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2752
This time, as with SARS and the Avian Flu (the useless vaccine for which was stockpiled around the world to the tune of many billions of dollars in the US alone while Tamiflu(R) was stockpiled too and is now expiring. In fact, in the UK the shelf life of their stock of this useless and dangerous drug was extended by 1 year by an Act of Parliament so, as my grandmother would have said, “It shouldn’t be a total loss”.
The Swine Flu Pandemic, anticipated and much-hyped, did not occur, but the Pandemic Response is proceeding just as surely as if the bioengineered Swine Flu had taken off successfully and was killing huge numbers of people.
CDC and WHO made no efforts to contain the disease, saying that travel restrictions were not needed, but sneezing into your sleeve was a life-saving measure. Say what?
So our Fraud and Death Agency‘s ONLY approved methods of dealing with the Swine Flu are:
1. Swine Flu vaccines which are untested, unsafe and unnecessary. They are being rushed into production and approval without testing. They contain mercury. They contain squalene, a deadly adjuvant (immune irritant) when injected. They contain other adjuvants whose identify is a “trade secret” and they contain other materials whose identify is also unknown. They are, literally, an uninsurable risk.
Yet the Secretary of Health and Human Services, FDA’s parent agency, says that we will start vaccination programs with every child in the US (there will be no exemptions – none, under the current Federal and State laws, by the way) and then “Sit back and observe. We hope there are not too many adverse events.” Of course, Secretary Sebelius does not make clear what is the number that would constitute “too many adverse events.” We at Natural Solutions say, “None!” and we know that the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association agrees with us.
2. Tamiflu and other “FDA approved drugs. Tamiflu, whose ownership includes not only Donald Rumsfeld, as is well known, but apparently every other top player in the US political world, all the way, it is said, to the White House, is a dangerous drug which has been around for quite some time looking for a reason to exist since it is a poor anti-virals with a significant toxic profile. However, it was stock piled in the billions of dollars during the failed weaponized virus pandemic event called “Avian Flu” despite the fact that it was known early on that 98% of the Avian Flu strains known were, according to the CDC, “resistant to Tamiflu”. There is no reason to think that other antivirals are either safer or more effective.
Back to Nano Silver For a Moment
In order to get safe and effective Nano silver off the market in advance of the anticipated and otherwise to-have-been-unstoppable Swine Flu Pandemic (this is our conclusion, according to our analysis: Please note that we have no documentation that the events we are discussing did, in fact, occur because of inter-agency pre-planning within the US Government, but it looks mighty suspicious to us) the EPA suddenly decided that it wanted accept a Big-Pharma inspired “citizens petition” to declare Nano silver a pesticide! Not only that, all equipment used in connection with the production of Nano silver was to be declared to be a pesticide, too.
If the illogic of that last sentence stopped you in your tracks, it means that you were awake and paying close attention because it is manifestly insane.
There was, however, so much push back (thank you, Mouse Warriors!) against this absurd and dangerous idea (dangerous to health AND to health freedom), that the matter was put off for a few years.
FDA, however, apparently realizing that its plans had been foiled, decided that it would take action and threaten every product which could provide either information in its material about how to prevent, or deal with the symptoms of the Swine Flu with either seizure and destruction (remember, FDA has special FDA Marshals equipped with dogs, guns, axes and, it would appear, the mentality of Nazi Brown Shirts) of products and factories or, if they did not submit to the FDA’s demand that they cease selling or advertising their products, criminal action against them.
Back to Agent Orange…
Monsanto is a drug, chemical and biotech company with a long and terrible history of contamination, toxic products and a wildly arrogant disregard for anything like public health or safety. The Monsanto Watch Project of the Center for Food Safety says,
“Monsanto, best know today for its agricultural biotechnology products, has a long and dirty history of polluting this country and others with some of the most toxic compounds known to humankind. From PCBs to Agent Orange to Roundup, we have many reasons to question the motives of this company that claims to be working to reduce environmental destruction and feed the world with its genetically engineered food crops….
In the 1970s, Monsanto began manufacturing the herbicide Roundup, which has been marketed as a [sic] safe, general-purpose herbicide for widespread commercial and consumer use, even though its key ingredient, glyphosate, is a highly toxic poison for animals and humans. In 1997, The New York State Attorney General took Monsanto to court and Monsanto was subsequently forced to stop claiming that Roundup is “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly.”
Monsanto has been repeatedly fined and ruled against for, among many things, mislabeling containers of Roundup, failing to report health data to EPA, and chemical spills and improper chemical deposition. In 1995, Monsanto ranked fifth among U.S. corporations in EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory, having discharged 37 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the air, land, water and underground. “
http://www.monsantowatch.org/index.php?page=none
Dioxin and DDT are similar compounds which are in the dangerous class of “chlorinated hydrocarbons”. These organic chemical consist of a pair of benzene rings, hydrogen and and four chlorine atoms. Dioxin also contains an oxygen atom. DDT and dioxin share several characteristics:
* Both DDT and dioxin are toxic in small quantities.
* Neither of them degrades in the environment — they both exist indefinitely once released.
* Both dissolve and accumulate in fat.
How toxic is Dioxin?
“The toxicity of dioxin is something that the scientific community does not seem to agree upon. Dioxin became notorious in the 1980s because of Agent Orange and several dioxin dumps (like Love Canal) discovered in the United States. You will see many, many pages on the Web (such as this one) that describe dioxin as the most toxic substance on the planet. Then you will see other references like this one from Encyclopedia Britannica:
“Toxicologists [sic] mistakenly concluded from studies on laboratory animals that TCDD (dioxin) was one of the most toxic of all man-made substances… Subsequent research, however, discounted most of these inferences, which were based on the effects of very high doses of TCDD on guinea pigs and other peculiarly susceptible animals. Among humans, the only disease definitely found related to TCDD is chloracne, which develops shortly after exposure to the chemical.”
http://www.howstuffworks.com/question220.htm
To our analysis, dioxin is, in fact, a tremendously toxic compound which is found in significant concentrations in Roundup (c). In fact, Roundup’s principal ingredient, glyphosate, is often referred to as the second most toxic compound known in nature. If dioxin is the first, and glyphosate is the second, what are they doing on your food?
And, since dioxin is found in Roundup(c) and does not break down in nature, it certainly is in your food and your environment, your water and, sadly, your bodies. For example, dioxin contamination from 800 to 2000 times greater than permitted was recently found in Irish pork products and was traced to a feed from a feed plant there. Monsanto’s Roundup Ready (c) corn and soy are permitted in the EU for animal feed although GMO foods are banned for human consumption unless labeled clearly there.
Monsanto’s potential for damage is not limited to pesticides, of which they list 29 products approved for use in the US.
They make aspartame, having acquired the patent when they bought the Searle drug company. It is no surprise that aspartame, included in many vaccines, by the way, is viewed by Advanced Healthcare Researchers as a leading cause of MS, Lupus and other life threatening diseases, including cancer. Despite this evidence, which led the FDA to keep aspartame out of food and drink for 11 years, as soon as Donald Rumsfeld and Ronald Regan came into power, the old head of FDA was out in a flash and the first act of the next FDA head was to approve unlimited use of this toxic material.
Monsanto is the world’s leading owner of genetic patents and the world’s leading GMO seed producer. Most of their GMO seeds are modified to allow them to tolerate high doses – really, really high doses – of an herbicide called ‘Glyphosate’. According to toxicologists, exposure to Glyphosate is strongly associated with cancer, infertility, loss of pregnancies, birth defects, auto immune disorders (such as Lupus), neurological disorders and other serious adverse events up to, and including, death.
Glyphosate is marketed around the world as “Roundup” (R) and its seeds are marketed as “Roundup Ready” (R) soy, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, rice, strawberries, papaya, taro, coffee, etc. Roundup Ready(R) soy and corn are widely used as animal feed, which means that their deadly genetic materials and toxic load wind up in your cells and your baby’s if you are pregnant or feeding your children GMO foods.
Roundup (R) is an herbicide. It kills plants which have not been modified to accept it. The material which is sprayed on the plants kills agricultural workers, makes them infertile and creates a host of horrific diseases in them and their children, as well as people down wind or down river from them. In fact, as you look at your lush, bright, chemically contaminated GMO veggies and eat your 90% GMO modified diet (if you are eating prepared and conventional “food” that is) we rarely think of the fact that agricultural workers in what is sadly called “conventional agriculture” have astoundingly high cancer, infertility and birth defect rates.
Your Food, Your Weeds, Monsanto and Agent Orange.
Monsanto is facing super weeds and a marketing problem: Roundup (R) is no longer as “effective” as it used to be in killing off super weeds which have now acquired the genes from the pollen of the GMO seeds and are becoming Roundup (R) resistant. Not only that, but competitors are seeking to tear market share away from the originator of this particular poisoned plant system.
Monsanto probably pays some pretty good salaries, though, for some diabolically clever brain power. Their solution? Come up with new and improved versions of Roundup (R) which contains up to 70% Agent Orange. See: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/DMPGR.php
Of course, if that does not suit, Monsanto makes 29 herbicides licensed for use in the US. All of them appear to be toxic and all of them damage both the farmers and the consumers while doing serious, perhaps irreparable damage to the environment.
So while the FDA is busy banning and seizing those compounds which allow us to protect ourselves from the dangers of bio engineered or natural biological threats to our well being, they are simultaneously turning a blind eye to the contamination of our food, our world – and of us – by allowing the use of mixtures of compounds which are arguably the most dangerous non-radioactive toxic chemicals in the world. They turn a blind eye to the studies which show their dangers, but turn a very sharp and acute eye to the substances and information which give us choice and power to protect ourselves.
Working with EPA, EPA and USDA, they are clearly making their corporate friends, sponsors and benefactors very, very happy at the cost of what?
Cancer
Birth Defects
Pulmonary Disorders
Urological Disorders
Infertility
Diabetes
Still Born Babies
Life Threatening Skin Disorders
Immune System Suppression and Damage
OK. Back to the Swine Flu…
You can see from the partial list of the impact of damage caused by Agent Orange that the immune system is hit hard by exposure to it. So are the chromosomes (or you would not get birth defects and deformities. So allowing Roundup(C), which scientific studies show cause many of the same diseases and conditions, including infertility and birth defects AND causes significant damage to the environment (including massive damage to amphibians like frogs), we see that putting them together is a very, very good idea if your intention is to make sure that you have a very large, and very sick population. Couple that with the farm laws now being pushed through Congress which will institutionalize what has been informal before, the total degredation of the the US food supply and the criminalization, yes, criminalization of food production which does not conform to Codex requirements, even in your own back yard, and you see the link.
Now add a vaccine which has no real reason for existing except to make legally immune Big Pharma healthy, coffer-wise, and the rest of us sick, body-wise. Take away our natural remedies, which the FDA has been trying to do for years, leave us with only the dangerous Pig in a Poke, Swine Flu vaccine (by the way, click here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVGrudg6mQ8, to see my Rap video of the same name) and a dangerous drug option and you have a perfect recipe for disaster.
“Let the Culling Begin!”
There is, in short, no medical, logical reason for the Swine Flu vaccine, which will be made mandatory, if the WHO, CDC and White House are to be believed. There is no medical, logical reason for the Level 6 Swine Flu Pandemic Emergency which was declared by Dr. Chen of the WHO on July 11, 2009.
Unless, of course, you want to kill a whole lot of people with a weaponized vaccine. There is no medical, logical reason to begin the vaccination program on our most profound treasure, our children, and “HOPE there are not too many adverse reactions.” HOPE? Hope there are not too many adverse reactions, or hope that there are? What is the real meaning of that astonishing statement?
If there is no intention to let the culling begin, why else include provisions in BioShield, Patriot Acts I, II and III, and bull through the Emergency Medical Powers Acts in virtually every state giving both the Federal Government and the States the “right” to quarantine you indefinitely if you refuse the vaccine or drug offered to you in a Pandemic State? If that does not seem like a good idea to you, then click here, salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275, to demand your right to self-quarantine if vaccinations or involuntary incarceration is orders, as it well may be as soon as the first commercially available flu vaccine is ready. You can also click here, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2752, to read our informative White Paper on Self Quarantine and THEN take the action step and forward it to everyone you know to ask them to do the same.
If no culling is anticipated, why else expend billions of dollars ($7.65B approved by the House of Representatives for Swine Flu vaccines and drugs last week alone) on a wildly dangerous, untested, unnecessary vaccine for a disease which WHO Director Chan admits causes no symptoms and requires no treatment? And why rush through legislation which industrializes the food supply of an entire country to the lowest agricultural, anti-health denominator? Well, perhaps because the World Health Organization says that to maintain a sustainable planet, we need to reduce the population by 90%. And perhaps, in your mind, you’re it.
And perhaps because the doctrine that depopulation must be the first priority of the United States Government’s Foreign Policy articulated so chillingly in NSA Memorandum 200 by Henry Kissinger in 1974 was adopted by the US Government but has never been repudiated?
And perhaps because the UN’s plans for long-term sustainability call for the same thing? Could that be?
Well, if not, please write to me at dr.laibow@gmail.com and tell me what else explains it.
It is time for us to take action to make sure that our food stays clean and stays in our control if we wish it to be there, that our health is not attacked by the cullers who see us as “Useless Eaters” who are consuming “their” non-renewable natural resources and that our freedom to chart our own health course is unimpeded by genocidal monsters or idiots.

Say… An Ongoing War Crime
Agent Orange Continues to Poison Vietnam
By MARJORIE COHN
“From 1961 to 1971, the U.S. military sprayed Vietnam with Agent Orange, which contained large quantities of Dioxin, in order to defoliate the trees for military objectives. Dioxin is one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man. It has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen (causes cancer) and by the American Academy of Medicine as a teratogen (causes birth defects).
“Between 2.5 and 4.8 million people were exposed to Agent Orange. 1.4 billion hectares of land and forest – approximately 12 percent of the land area of Vietnam – were sprayed.
“The Vietnamese who were exposed to the chemical have suffered from cancer, liver damage, pulmonary and heart diseases, defects to reproductive capacity, and skin and nervous disorders. Children and grandchildren of those exposed have severe physical deformities, mental and physical disabilities, diseases, and shortened life spans. The forests and jungles in large parts of southern Vietnam have been devastated and denuded. They may never grow back and if they do, it will take 50 to 200 years to regenerate. Animals that inhabited the forests and jungles have become extinct, disrupting the communities that depended on them. The rivers and underground water in some areas have also been contaminated. Erosion and desertification will change the environment, contributing to the warming of the planet and dislocation of crop and animal life.
“The U.S. government and the chemical companies knew that Agent Orange, when produced rapidly at high temperatures, would contain large quantities of Dioxin. Nevertheless, the chemical companies continued to produce it in this manner. The U.S. government and the chemical companies also knew that the Bionetics Study, commissioned by the government in 1963, showed that even low levels of Dioxin produced significant deformities in unborn offspring of laboratory animals. But they suppressed that study and continued to spray Vietnam with Agent Orange. It wasn’t until the study was leaked in 1969 that the spraying of Agent Orange was discontinued.
“U.S. soldiers who served in Vietnam have experienced similar illnesses. After they sued the chemical companies, including Dow and Monsanto, that manufactured and sold Agent Orange to the government, the case settled out of court for $180 million which gave few plaintiffs more than a few thousand dollars each. Later the U.S. veterans won a legislative victory for compensation for exposure to Agent Orange. They receive $1.52 billion per year in benefits.
“But when the Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange sued the chemical companies in federal court, U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein dismissed the lawsuit, concluding that Agent Orange did not constitute a poison weapon prohibited by the Hague Convention of 1907. Weinstein had reportedly told the chemical companies when they settled the U.S. veterans’ suit that their liability was over and he was making good on his promise. His dismissal was affirmed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. The chemical companies admitted in their filing in the Supreme Court that the harm alleged by the victims was foreseeable although not intended. How can something that is foreseeable be unintended?
“On May 15 and 16 of this year, the International Peoples’ Tribunal of Conscience in Support of the Vietnamese Victims of Agent Orange convened in Paris and heard testimony from 27 victims, witnesses and scientific experts. Seven people from three continents served as judges of the Tribunal, which was sponsored by the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL).
“Testimony given by the witnesses showed the following:
“Mai Giang Vu, a member of the Army of South Vietnam, carried barrels of the chemicals on his back. His two sons could not walk or function normally, their limbs gradually “curled up” and they could only crawl. They died at the ages of 23 and 25.
“Pham The Minh, whose parents also served in the South Vietnamese Army, showed the Tribunal his severely deformed, crooked, skinny legs; he has great difficulty walking, as well as digestive and pulmonary diseases.
“To Nga Tran is a French Vietnamese who worked as a journalist during the spraying. Her daughter weighed 6.6 pounds at the age of three months. Her skin began shredding and she could not bear to have skin contact or simple demonstrations of love. She died at 17 months, weighing 6.6 pounds. Ms. To described a woman who gave birth to a “ball” with no human form. Many children are born without brains; others make inhuman sounds.
“Rosemarie Hohn Mizo is the widow of George Mizo, who served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam in 1967. He slept on contaminated ground and consumed food and drink that were also contaminated. George refused to serve after he was wounded for the third time; he was court-martialed and sentenced to 2-1/2 years in prison and a dishonorable discharge. George helped found the Friendship Village where Vietnamese victims live in a supportive environment. He died from conditions related to his exposure to Agent Orange.
“Georges Doussin, co-founder of the Friendship Village, visited a dormitory where he saw 50 highly deformed “monsters,” who produced inhuman sounds. One man whose parent had been exposed to Agent Orange had four toes on each foot. Doussin said Agent Orange creates “total anarchy in evolution.”
“Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Phuong, from Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), sees many children born without arms and/or legs, without heads or faces, and without a brain chamber. According to the World Health Organization, only 1 – 4 parts per trillion (PPT) of Dioxin in breast milk can cause severe deformities in fetuses and even death. But up to 1450 PPT are found in maternal milk in Vietnam.
“Dr. Jeanne Stellman, who wrote the seminal article about Agent Orange in the magazine Nature, testified that “this is the largest unstudied environmental disaster in the world (except for natural disasters).”
“Dr. Jean Grassman, from Brooklyn College at City University of New York, testified that Dioxin is a potent cellular disregulator which alters a variety of pathways to disrupt many systems. Children, she said, are very sensitive to Dioxin; the intrauterine or post natal exposure to Dioxin may result in altered immune, neurobehavioral, and hormonal functioning. Women pass their exposure to their children both in utero and through the excretion of Dioxin in breast milk.
“Many ecosystems have been destroyed and Dioxin continues to poison Vietnam, especially in the several “hot spots.”
“Chemist Dr. Pierre Vermeulin testified that it was estimated that $1 billion would be required to restore one hectare of land in Vietnam. The cost of caring for the victims, many of whom need 24-hour care, is enormous.
“In 1973, President Richard Nixon promised $3.25 billion in reconstruction aid to Vietnam “without any preconditions.” That aid was never granted.
“There are only 11 Friendship Villages in Vietnam; 1000 are needed to care for the child victims of Agent Orange.
“Last week, the Bureau of the IADL, meeting in Hanoi, presented President Nguyen Minh Triet of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam with the final decision of the Tribunal. The judges found the U.S. government and the chemical companies guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ecocide during the illegal U.S. war of aggression in Vietnam. We recommended that the Agent Orange Commission be established in Vietnam to assess the damages suffered by the people and destruction of the environment, and that the U.S. government and the chemical companies provide compensation for the damage and destruction.
“I told the President that it always struck me that even as U.S. bombs were dropping on the people of Vietnam, they always distinguished between the American government and the American people. The President responded, ‘We fought the forces of aggression but we always reserved our love for the people of America . . . because we knew they always supported us.’
“An estimated 3 million Vietnamese people were killed in the war, which also claimed 58,000 American lives. For many other Vietnamese and U.S. veterans and their families, the war continues to take its toll.
“Several treaties the United States has ratified require an effective remedy for violations of human rights. It is time to make good on Nixon’s promise and remedy the terrible wrong the U.S. government perpetrated on the people of Vietnam. Congress must pass legislation to compensate the Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange as it did for the U.S. Vietnam veteran victims.
“Our government must know that it cannot continue to use weapons that target and harm civilians. Indeed, the U.S. military is using depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan, which will poison those countries for incalculable decades.”
